This week we continue Project Jigsaw, our 1960's inspired supercar project based on a Porsche Boxster. We design and fabricate the center hood vent for the cooling system. A very important step in this process. This will allow us to begin metal shaping the aluminum body for the car! Come along as Tony and Ryan problem-solve the complex engineering behind this project, and take jabs at each other all along the way!

This is like Saturday morning cartoons for me back when I was a kid. Look forward to it every week.
Nailed the feeling
Absolutely. These guys are top notch - fabrication enhanced with modern technology and media skills too!
Honestly the same. Glad I ain’t alone
Yes, now it’s got a specific time slot it’s enhanced the loyalty to them, starts the weekend with a fun vibe. I predict 2 yrs to a finished article…..
100% this is the great joy of Saturday mornings as a mid 30’s child
Die Hard is in fact the best Christmas movie ever made.
The 'outlet' air needs to be about 25% greater than the 'inlet' area opening, otherwise hot air can stall in the duct area and cause overheating issues, as hot air expands...45 years experience building cowls for model planes...
Second law of thermodynamics, temperature transfer is nearly instantaneous which doesn’t require the velocity of the air to slow to cool better. Efficient heat transfer requires more volume than velocity. It’s a common misconception in automotive circles.
Yep! Same with radiators, never slow down the radiator coolant speed. So many people get that part wrong.
I have a PhD in Aerodynaminomics and have become it's CEO. I have thoroughly analyzed your radiator duct and bestow upon it an A+ rating.
As I also minored in Structural Voids in Space and Time, I can confidently say that the more large, empty voids you build into your car, the lighter it will get. Keep going!
The cleanest way to cut aluminium is actually a circularsaw for wood. I use a milwaukee finetooth carbidetip blade, cuts 1/2" aluminium easier than plywood
Completely agree with you, I used to work in a company that cut huge Paroc panels to size with a circular saw, & they are made of steel. Far quicker & cleaner.
This all looks great, i like following your build cause your process somehow looks both proffesional and chaotic at the same time, lol
Professional Chaos is a pretty good description of us. 😂🤙🏻
Tony has worked with you for so long he doesn't even break concentration when an inflatable clown is thrown perfectly at his feet! :)
There's no need to ever slow down air through a cooler, the faster the better👍
Does the flat radiator tab on the round tube bother Antone else? 😂
Sooo cool to see this car come alive!!!!
The wireframe in the thumbnail looks really good.
Can't wait to see the car fully skinned.
Air loses heat as it expands as well. Expand out and slow down to pass through the radiator. The outlet needs to be slightly bigger than the inlet to keep the pressure differntial ( can't rely wholly on drag from the aerodynamics). How are you going to deal with water through the scoops?
Really coming together. We all use what we have at hand to do the job, whatever that is, but I have always found a jigsaw with a wood blade works great on aluminium sheet.
Yep, jigsaw works well on aluminium. You can get aluminium cutting blades for them.
Yippie ki-yay, thanks for the updates on the other builds, always good to know you're listening to your fans. (Yes, you have fans). Eagerly awaiting those episodes.
You guys are killing it. Love it man!
I’m looking forward to seeing this finished this is gonna be amazing when it’s done
Damn but I love these videos. I have learned so much just from watching these two experts 😀 I will never use it but feel like I can 😀 keep them coming!
You might need a air damn on the bonnet to create a low pressure area for the rad exit. The way that nose is raked, there is a potential that there will be higher pressure at the exit than the entrance.
Always a good day when Crucible posts new content, nice work lads!
this video cured my hemorrhoids! thanks guys
For cutting aluminium easily get a circular saw with an aluminium specific blade. Wear hearing and eye protection ✌️
There is a metal roofing 'nibbler' that fits a Makita/Dewalt drill for about $80...worth looking into..
It’s fascinating to watch how you form your car using pipes and wires… I’ve never seen this manner before. What headlights do you have in mind? I think Porsche 928 or at least 993 ones might look great! 👍
Looking great!
You 2 are doing a Awesome job. :)
Tony’s face; “ you’ve never seen Die Hard?!” But seriously, you’ve never seen Die Hard?! 😳
I think you guys should just use fiberglass. Weld a roll cage in the car to make it more stiff. Then create the shell out of fiberglass. Keep up the work guys. God bless
I keep looking at all that metal work up front and thinking I could do it easier with composites. Since it is a one-off, you wouldn't need to make a plug. Just is a wire or wood frame and polyisocyanurate foam sheets to make the shape, and then hand layup. Then again, I don't have any of the big metal working tools or shop space.
You can cut aluminum like this with a 5" or 7" inch circular saw with a carbide tipped blade. It will cut through it like butter. The small saw is better and easier but uses more batteries
You can fix your radiator by pushing it into being a triple pass, with end tank block panels.
Have a think about it.
Looks.....dam good!. Especially since you just went yipikaye without a slip roller.
There are times when I really wish UA-cam would implement thier live chat "hearts, party horns, etc." system on videos, so that when a particularly good joke lands, you could acknowledge it in a way that you guys could see (I like you guys' videos as practice because it's always true and just interupts me to do it at joke-appropriate moments.).
I see all of the riffs from both Ryan and Tony around 9:22 and that's why I wrote this lol.
EDIT: RYAN, WATCH DIE HARD!!!!!!
The front scoop and lights will look a bit like a Noble m12 that we have here in the UK 👍
Don't forget that hot air expands, thus you need a larger exhaust vent than the intake vent. Not 100% sure on what the proper ratio is, but you should be able to find a calculator for hot air flow through vents online somewhere.
Circular saw and jigsaw with metal blades will be a easier cutting option for that aluminum
Finally life after project binky
when you get the body done, would be cool to anodize it.
Once again i was up just waiting for the upload. This is addictive. Awesome work boys!!!
I’m happy with anything you’re willing to some us I’ve learned so much from both you guys.
use a good skill saw with a Diablo Metal blade. I build Sings out of Aluminum and when i need to cut stuff that wont fit in our shear, like an access panel, i use a skill saw.
Use a carbite blade for your grinder or circle saw to cut your sheet make sure you use bar of wax (candle) or soap bar on the cutting face and side of your blade stoping it clogging up and make smoother cutying
You could try using a jigsaw with a fine tooth wood blade to cut the aluminum.
Welcome back Roger!
keep up the great work guys.
Love the way its coming along, the opening area looks great, using the clam shell
Another great Saturday!
Love the Ducting. Great to see progress
the angle of the radiator exit can be important. i know Mike from Stanceworks re-did his after someone did some calculations. it may be a little too steep.
You could put fabric sheets over and across the rods, use fiberglass resin and fiberglass to make body panels.
@cruciblecoachworks blades for cutting wood, work pretty well for cutting aluminum.
Absolutely loving this project, definitely needs a miura esc bonnet vent
Love your music
I also like the Ford GT40 with double output on the hood
you should have that vent fold out to a drink table for the car shows
Killer me with the Highlander ref overlay
Probably too late now but have you considered a remote brake fluid reservoir to gain a little space
alu minium there is an extra i in the word ;)
I agree with @kneedeepingore , using a circular saw will be far better for your purposes.
Have you thought about using a skateboard wheel as your large die when tipping the edge of your metal to make a flange? It also helps the small wheel not gouge as deep in the metal since the soft skateboard wheel lets it sink in as it rolls.
It was NOT "only one", it was "Obi-wan"
Guys to help with the cooling you could turn the radiator into a tripple bypass by putting a cut in one end tank side a third of the way down put a piece of aluminum in the cut then weld the cut on the other tank repeat but put the cut 2 thirds of way down and go back to the first tank and put the cut a third from the bottom and plate and weld so the coolants has to zig zag 3 times down the tank so more airflow for a longer time on the core to disapate the heat hope this helps cheers from down under
that technique was used by Home Built By Jeff in his Alfarrari project when it was experiencing overheating issues.
@@BUSHY1959 yep sure was
Just an idea. Why not duct and vent the radiator underneath the car? It should be a negative pressure there from all the air rushing by in a constricted space. That way you don’t have to worry about water ingress from rain. Am I approaching this wrong?
I've never agreed with the "slowing down the air speed" theory.
How do you plan on servicing the front end? I dunno if you considered it while designing. Like a hood that flips to the windshield, or to the front, does the entire clamshell flip? Or does it ALL come off?
Did you purposely edit Tony using the mallet to go with the beat of the music?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
2 Cents: I think the Coolant Temp sensor needs to be closer to the engine and not at the radiator for more accurate control. Coolant will cool running forward and give a lower/errant temp reading if the sensor is at the front. The puke tank can go in the void space behind the vent valance.
What are you going do about water drainage? I realize you probably will not drive it in the rain, but I am sure it will get washed ...
Just thought of the same thing but checked comments first and wallah……there it is 👍
But why isent the clamshell welded to the boden?
W
Are you using 30-03 aluminum on everything?
😁😁😁😁😁
Las celdas del radiador deberían ser desarmadas y colocadas en el céntimo horizontal para que el aire pase forzado como es normal!!! Claro! Solo es un comentario! Yo no soy experto🙈👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💎💎💎💎💎💎🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️
What real man has not seen Diehard? So where you guys at ? California 😅😂
Nooooo, it was going excellently with the aluminium and then you went and used heavy steel for the mounting flange :-(
More icky thumb garage yay!
Side note I like that beefier radiator isolation
I am foreigner and sometimes I really can't understand what Ryan say like at 6:00. Wrooboolooobuuutoofoo what? This is too fast! Dear fluent speakers, could you answer me: did you understand his talk?
He said "Think it would be better to do that than the asymmetrical mess."
Haha thank you! The question is not very direct. I only wanted to know how many people at this channel have similar problems with machine-gun-talking from Ryan :) Subtitles was helping me in strong situations!
So what's the deal with the inflatable bozo things? What's the story behind those?
So you guys decided to cut up a Porsche car and then rebuild another Porsche car shaped with the same Porsche shaped head lights, but a different custom hood air vent and different replacement for the Radiator, and now you guys are calling it a super race car..
If you guys wanted the same Porsche Shape car why cut up the original Porsche car....
12 years ago, i sold my lovely ( 1984 - Porsche 930 - 911 wide-body ( number 9 in factory - limited edition , - Black Jack, black interior and exterior with white gauges , ) for only 2300$
Yes 2300$ , i was mad with the local dealer, when he asked for 4000$ for ( Windshield - front ) and the overseas price was 900$, i feel sorry i did that, the dealer still ripping peoples and Porsche owners, and the ( Porsche head quarter ) never care, all the care about, the dealer is doing a great sale, Porsche don't care about the quality and service anymore
You'd get more views if your videos had more streamlined progress. 30 minutes for a radiator tray is wild, and then you end the video by claiming to respect viewers time
