    I kept my thoughts quiet when you started this build, but like a lot of others I thought you were in over your head. I'm glad to say I think I was wrong to judge so early, this car is beginning to really take shape and look amazing. Even if it's not "done" by Sema, I take my hat off to you and your mates for the amount of work you've put in. Late nights, editing the footage in the morning, working all day. Mammoth effort and it needs to be applauded!

    If you want better results on your sanding get a lesson on how to use a DA by a professional body guy, would take 30 seconds for them to say stop using the edge to gouge your panel. Also put the DA down and grab some blocks when you sand primer. Doing a great job as a project manager maybe enlist a body guy also

    • @paddys06
      @paddys06 6 років тому +3

      It was painful to watch the angle he was holding the DA, you could visually see the hard feather marks in the layers of paint, wavy as fuck. Using a DA to sand down filler was a big no no too. It did turn out much better than I thought it would... on camera... from a distance. I'd say it will be a lot more apparent when the primer and filler sinks over time, but fair play to him working to a tight deadline.

      Go to any body shop and offer to pay a prepper to come and show you the ropes. It's not really the body guy he needs to talk to. You could get a decent prepper to help you out for $50 and an offer to have a beer with him when he's done.

    • @joer8854

    Glad to see this build coming along! I was worried at the beginning but it's really taking shape now. Glad you enlisted a few helpers. I won't get on the band-wagon and start hating on the look of the diffuser but I would like to point out that it's not going to be functional as it is. The roof of the tunnels need to be curved upwards. It's purpose is to allow the air to slow down and increase in pressure as it reaches the back of the car, reducing drag.
    Looking forward to seeing the car finished.

    @stansova3138 5 років тому

    Love this show, it reminds me of my shop that I had for about 5 years, you know you got the body right when you hate to paint over the primer because of the shine that is on it. Just remember one thing that I didn't do, I didn't wear my safety equipment when spraying lacquer, I always had an excuse, like it is two hot to wear a respirator, all safety glasses do is blur your vision, I don't need no spray paint clothes to cover my body its to warm. Well in the fifth year the doctor told me you have two options either die doing what you are doing or quit, and do something else. So wear your safety equipment and you will be able to have a good life. If you think it is to warm buy an air conditioner, lots cheaper then medical bills for breathing. and PEACE!!!

      @kiriller 6 років тому

      Chad C. Look fine yes, but it's what beneath it hurts, if it's timing of thr installers we are talking about it only adds about 5-10min of taping, but in the end much easier to get the cuts so actuslly offsets them time put into it.. :)

    • @im_pharaoh

      I dunno. We're looking at it through a camera, and I'm sure there was a LOT that went on that we didn't get to see. I'm sure it looks just fine since this is Chris' build and it's going to SEMA. I can't imagine he'd settle for less, especially on this build.

    • @canyonsportwraps857
      @canyonsportwraps857 6 років тому

      SpecialK any experienced installer can score the vinyl and break it away without scratching the car. This car isn’t painted, so there’s no risk of cutting a non existent paint job. The only damage you could possibly cause is if you cut it down to the bare metal it could rust. We cut vinyl on balloons to practice scoring and breaking the film and developing knife skills. Knifeless tape is great, and the best option most the time, but not an end all.
      As for the roof being layed before the quarters, and the wind direction, you’re right, but the rest of the car wasn’t built yet so sometimes timelines affect what is preferable, the top edge edge was sealed so it should hold up fine.
