As an Aussie born in the 70's and who grew up around these cars and with Mad Max 1 and 2 I'm loving these resto videos. I'm kind of glad I just discovered them today though since they come out so far apart. I've just binge watched these first 4 episodes this morning. Now I'm hoping I don't have to wait months or more for the next episode! Great work on these cars guys!
We are so glad you found our videos and are enjoying them! Welcome to the fun. We do put out content with some regularity. However for series videos such as this Interceptor build it can take a bit. The work itself goes by somewhat quickly, but even still collecting the footage takes some time. More so because we have to take often hours of video and edit it down to a watchable video while keeping the narrative and documenting all the elements of the build for everyone. That can be a task that absorbs an enormous amount of time. Still we will try to get the next episode out ASAP. Glad you got to binge watch the series so far! Thank you so much for watching and for your comment!
Mate thats good work. Some of these things were full of rust even in the 80's.
Good to see them getting fixed up nice, even if it took them going overseas to make it happen.
Just a bit of trivia. Did you guys know that the original ideas and sketches for the coupes were done on the back of a napkin in a resteraunt. The final design didnt look that differant.
Love the videos 👍.
Thank you for the kind words! That is truly appreciated! We have heard the "Napkin" story, what an awesome bit of history. Thanks for watching!
@@MadMaxCars Mate I love what you guys are doing.
I sometimes wonder if any of my old girls have ended up in the US getting the the treatment from you guys.
Between my sister and myself we had at least one of every model falcon coupe.
I wish I still had one of them now. 🤷♂️
@@l1a146 It is possible. Not sure what the odds are though, as there are less than 200 total XC,XB,XC Falcons in the USA (including Sedans, Utes, Wagons, Panelvans and Coupes).
Metalwork,, on a Falcon Coupe. Grind out the bog and discover little car left.
That is a really good one,,the A pillars are not rotten and cracked.
And the RIGHT side of the car is the drivers side of the car
Rear wheel arches, rear of roof, boot gutters and tailight panel and possibly rear rails and boot floor
Indeed. We did start with media blasting the car after tear down (in episode 1), instead of grinding. You can see how rough (or not depending on your opinion) it was in that video. In Episode 2 & 3 as well as here in 4 you can check out all the metal work we did. You nailed it on a lot of what has been done so far. You might note are are referring to the right side as the drivers side in this video. If you want to check out the other episodes see the links in the description above.
Awesome work shop crew and work , do you have to paint the steel fab work straight away or when ever is convenient
Thank you! Rust prevention urgency on the fresh metalwork depends a bit on your shop conditions. Ours is clean dry and warm, plus we do an epoxy primer on the whole body right after media blasting before we start repairs. Many of the new panels already have E coating on them which is quality enough to paint over and prevents rust. So ultimately there is not a whole lot of bare metal, and it all gets coated soon after all the metalwork is complete. So I guess the short answer is, for us we can get to it when we are ready.
@@MadMaxCars Thanks very much for reply and info
@@paulthompson8613 Glad to help! You can see all that first hand in Episode 1 if you like.
Enjoying the content . Regards from Northumberland. England.🤙
Glad you are enjoying it! Thank you for watching, and for your comment! Our regards from Seattle!
Pleasure to watch a master at work. How long does a replica build take?
Very glad you are enjoying it! Each build is a little (or a lot) different, depending on things like how much restoration the base car needs, and client choices such as drivetrain and what custom touches are wanted etc. So it actually varies quite a bit from build to build. If you are interested in having a car built, the guys on our team could give you a better idea of how long your specific build might take. You can reach them at www.madmaxcars.com
These episodes are the Ducks Guts mate. Is there any damage ? Metal damage , brain damage are ya listening Bronze ?Looks like there was a big ding on passenger side door. In the worst spot. Right on the bodyline.
Thank you very much! Glad you are enjoying them!. I think it was the drivers door that was smashed in really good. You can see us fixing that in previous episodes.....
The Drum in the boot is that the real petrol ⛽️ tank or is just a look thing 200 litres Damm it would slope around if full nice work boys 🪛🧰🪛⛓
We can build the Mad Max 2 style fuel tanks as functional fuel tanks with baffles etc. to prevent sloshing. Its all about what the client wants in their build.
its coming together nicely great work so far guys support from sheffield england
Thank you so much! Yes it is coming together really well...
@@MadMaxCars cars from then you can do things with them cars now HAH you plug them in they got no SOUL
@@huskypoop4917 Gotta agree with that for the most part!
Love these vids its awesome to see how you guys create those beautiful machines all the work that goes into making an Interceptor is astounding bravo to all your team in keeping the Mad Max cars alive! Cheers Davey 🤘
Thank you very much! We really appreciate it! Your channel is AWESOME my friend. Subbed to you. Love the Rollerball vid!
@@MadMaxCars I just noticed wow thank you very much... my next vid will be a look at my Mad Max collection cheers 🍻 👍
@@ForgottenHorrorchannel Sweet! Cant wait for that one!!
reproduction rockers are too long, should have hung the doors and guards before welding, you will see when you do this.
As you might notice from the video, we actually did that while they were simply held in with clecos. Welded only after checking placement multiple times.
'Is my sarcasm coming through?' Hahahahahaaaaaa! As a guy that uses sarcasm on a regular basis, I can say, yes, it is!!!
Fantastic, impeccable work as always. Cheers from Argentina, guys!
Lol yeah it comes through alright doesn't it?
Thank yo for the kind words!
Great welding journey, man your team is professional! Super skills there, wow! Awesome job!
Thank you my friend! Great praise coming from one of our all time favorite UA-camrs!!!
Greetings from Brazil👍
Hello! Greetings from Seattle Washington USA!
Did you guys test fit with the guard/fender? In Aus a few guys have fitted those rocker panels and the gap between the rocker and guard was too small. Turns out the rocker is 6mm too long.
yep very true
Absolutely! As you might notice from the video, we actually did that while they were simply held in with clecos. Welded only after checking placement multiple times.
It's great to see all these years later that Mad Max probably has a stronger following than ever. It's also very cool that these amazing cars are being appreciated and treated right. As a kid I remember just how many use to be stripped out dead in wrecking yards. In my view they are the best looking cars we ever produced down here. The videos really show those unfamiliar with these old beasts how much it takes to get the metal work done. They have an awesome back end with a lot of shape but damn they do rust bad there. I have had to do pretty much everything you have tackled so far so I can imagine how many hours of work has gone into making these videos. I am looking forward to see the plenum/wiper panel area repairs in a future episode, fun and games there also! Rust in these as you have shown is the gift that keeps on giving! Fantastic videos and great work!
Thank you very much for the kind words! We agree how amazingly cool these cars are. Mad Max has really had a resurgence, in particular since Fury Road came out (regardless of how some may feel about the movie itself). We do see plenum rust quite often. We just posted the 1st video in a new series showing a car that REALLY has rust there (and almost everywhere else). Check it out if you like here: ua-cam.com/video/hNjp6CDIVPc/v-deo.html
That coupe is gonna be the ducks guts! Nice work with metal fab! I look forward to Ep. 5!
Thanks man! Working on Ep5 now!
Why are young people such a-holes? Just play along Delane...life is to short to be pissed all the time.
LOL. She is just a tad feisty. Its all good natured fun really. Our whole team is truly fun to be around! Check out this video on us from one of our friends channels with a bunch of interviews with the staff. Be sure to stick around to the end to see the cool short little fun film we did..... ua-cam.com/video/yrlufkesu6s/v-deo.html
What video? I can't see the link
@@lptomtom Apologies ..... ua-cam.com/video/yrlufkesu6s/v-deo.html
Hah !, if Mel Gibson could see, how much h work it is to get the Falcon XB on the road again, he would have been more carefully with his one in the movie !!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best wishes to you!
Oh man! That is for sure!!
@@MadMaxCars Also the Market value of this Coupe - its worth its wait in GOLD these days!
@@philipmarks2720 Indeed cost to buy one of the Falcon Coupes has been going up at an astounding rate, like all classic cars have been lately. Prices are through the roof!
@@MadMaxCars have y’all ever thought about building the interceptor pursuit yellow police car
@@NicholasRyanRoe Absolutely! And we provide the bodykit and other parts to builders who want to do their own, just as we do for the Black Pursuit Special Interceptor builds.
Rose tattoo playing in the background. Ironbar Bassey AKA Angry Anderson. Nice work Lady and Gentleman. I'm restoring a 1974 GS Fairmont coupe that i was going to turn into a MM replica but as you cant register a MM replica here in Australia (how ironic) the parts went into the garage roof and she's well on the way to going back to stock though still satin black on gloss black. Thanks for the upload and for keeping the dream alive.
Rose Tattoo is awesome! We love Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, AC/DC and tons of other cool Aussie bands. We wish you lots of great success with your GS! It is sad that a well done Mad Max build is not allowed on the roads of Australia, but we have heard that from many of our mates there. We will keep at it building cars and making fun videos to share! Thanks for watching and for the cool comment!
Awesome sauce 👍
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying it!
beautiful car
Thank you so much!
Boy that bryce guy is buff must work out
Swinging that hammer and dolly is a good workout!!!

Greetings Jeff. I have passed on the message to Troy. He said "Yo!" and gave a big thumbs up! He also said to get in touch with us and come to by the shop. Feel free to reach out through through www.madmaxcars.com
Love your work fellas!
Thank you! That means a lot!
Nothing better than a Aussie muscle car
For sure!!
what Awesome work you guys are doing
Thank you!
Muscle cars, mad max and 80s hair metal!
An awesome combination any day!
A true master craftsman !
Great work team
Thank you so much! Greatly appreciated. We will pass that on to our amazing team, and the Metal fabricators in particular.
There is a lot of work in fixing the rust or damage, it's crazy how much time it actually takes, but it's worth doing it right 👍🏾👍🏻 I did some in my past just want to do another project one day but getting a new job first then get more tools 😀
It definitely takes time and the patience (plus skills) to do it the right way. As you said, it is absolutely worth the effort. Having the right tools makes a HUGE difference as well. Best of luck with the new job and all your future projects!
What ever happened to this car? No updates on it for 7 months. Was it ever finished? Love the vids! First saw you guys on the episode of JY Empire working on his interceptor.
We are nearing completion on editing the next episode. It actually takes quite some time, as we first have to film the work as it happens, then edit what is often 10 + hours of footage down to a 20-30 minute video that is hopefully fun to watch. We had a blast shooting the JYE show. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!
How much does max car cost? Ballpark please
As for a ballpark, on the rare occasions they come up on the open market and/or in our classifieds as "for sale by owner", prices seem to currently range from about $150,000 to $250,000 for builds we have done. Builds by other makers can be somewhat less, depending on quality. Total cost for a build varies depending on many factors. Most of which are choices the client makes as to how they want the car built, as every build we do is a custom project planned out with the client. If you would like details, please feel free to contact the team at www.madmaxcars.com
