That blue suits the car. Great choice.
Stu's an amazing fabricator. Unreal. Matts no slouch either. Wish i had half their talent. Bloody hell! The maintenance man at the fab firm was a menace. Good call leaving that guillotine outside. Proper dodgy.
Churchill blue is bang on. What a spay job! Mark has done the owner proud. Im enjoying the extras you have been putting into your videos. Never knew there was so much work for making a buck on the router.
🙏
Whoever commissioned Churchill is not only winning in life they have great taste.
They must have a serious amount of money to do this instead of just buying a 70’s XJ coupe, which isn’t a bad looking car at all.
@@Jonathan_Doe_I’m sure they will also have a nice one of those in their collection somewhere!
Yeah, the one we built haha
@@Jonathan_Doe_ I'll bet they've got soooo much money they choose steak even though corned beef is cheaper!
@@forsh3546 corned beef is £3.50 a tin now, its actually pound for pound more expensive then steak. 🤣
So envious of what retro power have achieved, from humble beginnings to probably the best Resto mod business in Britain. It must be amazing to be part of a team where you know you are part of something big and special. I’d give anything to have that feeling in my daily work. Hats off to a superb team. Pure admiration from me.
Fully agree 👍🇬🇧
These guys need our support, get a budget together and send them you project car.
@@RobertDore-w4l I actually do my own builds but I’d happily let these guys build my projects if I had the money
I love to see people that (a) actually give a £h1t about what they do, and are (b) serious and passionate, this is so very rare in this day and age.
@@RobertDore-w4l Absolutely agree. That’s what makes these guys really stand out. Also a team of very talented craftsmen
Really interesting stuff from Jim/James, would like to see more............................
and great that you have an in-house trimmer, and he has his own 'FLEXI-CURVE' (in my day they were orange and filled with lead).
Brilliant as ever.
Fantastic episode, all the guys are getting better and better in front of the camera along with their obvious professionalism in their chosen area of working on the cars.Churchill looks beautiful.
Thank you 🙏
Jim's contribution was intelligent, he used an economy of words and rarely repeated himself. He'd be an asset to any polytech, even more valuable working at Retro. Would like to hear more from him in the future.
Great colour choice for Churchill, will really make the new shape stand out. Really enjoying this format where staff in different sections run us through what they are doing and how.
Marc killing it!! It is so good to see how the lads are grabbing those opportunities in front of camera
Thank you 🙏
My vocabulary can't do "the speak" well enough to articulate how much you guys ability, level of craftsmanship, and also the level of professionalism - impress me.
Professionalism, but without the stuffy boring elements so often associated with that high a level.
Also the guy operating the CAD router, not seen him before, don't know how many takes that took, don't know if he's ever been in front of a camera before... but the professionalism, honesty and openness about being new to the processes of the machine, and his natural demeanour in front of the camera... 😳
All of Retropower is going from strength to strength and I'm loving seeing it week on top of week.
THE BEST car manufacturer (you guys DO manufacture artwork in the form of cars) in Britain - fact. 👏👏👏🙌
Their camera guy is always "wandering around the shop", picking up bits and pieces for "B" roll that we see spliced in- often the very concentrated face of one of Ned and Cal's lot; often they don't even seem to see the camera. And then there is Marc, who always lets the camera guy know "We see you". Both sides still knock these cars out of the park.
Excellent Content. I've no idea why you aren't the biggest car Vlog on UA-cam!
Good to see Richie the master trimmer in house guys! After working with Richard you guys will be blown away with his quality for sure 😎🍻 cheers Derek
It NEVER surprises me how polished your videos are. You would think that you had been making videos “forever” 🔧🔧🔧🔧👍👍
The quality is ingrained in these guys, the probably iron their socks too 🙂
@@RobertDore-w4l A half century ago, I would have loved apprenticing in their shop. Having watched some gifted youngsters "polish their skills" at Retropower, I have decided they do all of it well because they don't see profit in not doing so.
Have you noticilled George is a dead ringer the co-star in bill and Ted's excellent adventure. Wild horses man
Beautiful colour for Churchill.Let's ban fashionable undercoat grey! Bloody disgusting! Expensive cars and you can't afford colour?
James, in the visual pre run, if you spot a piece of unused stock big enough to produce an additional part, can the programme be then added to or revised part way through a previously approved programme?
Blimey….! I once had a Capri in that Grey/Blue colour XRY415S first of the mk3 but very much that Escort colour 😮
Ummm not keen on the edit for painting Churchill. Lotta prep gone into that car and painting is a serious business not a quirky Segway. I loved the E type paint edit, classy. That’s how you lay paint down in a video with an awesome soundtrack!! Sorry to be piccy 😂
Great explanation James, relaxed & articulate. Amazing team work all round. Cheers!
The Quattro is going to look so cyberpunk I love it 😁
I know it's nobody's business, but I hope it was a amicable split with Dean from trimworks. And wish both companies success continued happiness.
I've always loved the Jensen Interceptor and one day will own one. A few weeks ago I went to enquire about trading my 2010 Clubman in and buying a new it wasn't worth the trip 😞 The upside is that if I'm dropping £34,000 plus may as well buy something of my hearts desire and keep the clubman. Ironically all of the cars I'm targeting are tax exempt and ULEZ (aka BOLLOOX) compliant. A not on the colour of Churchill the Mini / BMW colour they call 'melting silver' would be beautiful and very lush...but that blue though🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for the metalwork recommendations, both were new to me so to save others searching Toby Southan www.youtube.com/@southanindustries5208 and Pete Tommasini www.youtube.com/@Handbuilt1 . Love the details on the tools - much prefer to find out about old tool revival as the build and quality is definitely built to last. I wanted a small desktop milling machine - rather than new I bought a BCA jig borer and it's a beautiful bit of kit.
Thanks for saving me the time of searching for this!!!
Thanks, a great help to me, posting these links👍👍
What a great colour on Churchill! Not the BRG I was expecting.
Best thing for a Sunday afternoon and a beer
Really, really love the colour on " Churchill ", great choice Mr/Mrs Rich owner :)
Mai Gawd, Churchill is stunning! Well done to the entire team.
A great modern twist on a classic Jag colour - one of those that says "Why the **** didn't they use that colour back in the day".
Mark is certainly getting to be a bit of a hero in front of the camera, not many words, but just enough to cover what he's been up to.
In a really 80s looking way. According to the guy who was born in the late 1990s at best 😂😂😂
Amazing how much difference the clear coat makes. I wasn’t sure about that blue until I saw it shining. Great work.
Chip foose would love the allegro’s bumpers 8:08
Churchill is looking great But not sure about the colour maybe when it’s all fitted up but for me dark rolls Royce Rothmans blue would be nice. But every one else is saying it’s a nice colour so it’s just my humble opinion. My favourite Retropower car is still the Murray escort. The other escorts are great but the Murray escort just look like a factory twincam.
Damn, Churchill dude has good taste.
Absolutely Amazing paint job, the finish from the gun and done on a respray not just 1 panel is absolutely first class, an artisan !!!!!
May i ask What is the name of the colour used on Churchill. Is it Jaguar Antigua blue ?
Vw orly blue
Marc can breakdance while painting. Talented bastard
😂😂
*Note to self*: ... "Churchill is almost entirely bespoke bodywork and was never available from Jaguar!" - just sooo perfectly "right"
Are you going to scallop the tank on the interceptor to distance it from the exhaust ? As a Retired Qualified Approved Electrician, that wiring is disgusting and you are correct he should not be touching anything electrical.
So Cal used to do all the video himself and put in the headliners. He’s not doing the headliners now and most of the video is done by others. 😂
I hope the Allegro owner isn’t shy, A “meet the owner” is definitely needed (they must be the best kind of unhinged to spend 5-6 figures on such a bants project).
There's two cars, so it will be pushing half of seven figures...
Can you put a link in for metalcraft videos please
Your work, and your videos, just keep getting better and better.
Churchill is such a great design it has a Lancia Aurelia B20 kind of vibe and I really envy the owner as well as the owner of Utah !!
just soo incredibly entertaining this. amazing company, people and content… thanks so much
Marc painting to some groovy lounge jazz
🤣
I’d like to believe it’s piped in there while he works 😁
@@forsh3546 probably wear a cool suit & tie to paint the next car
@@blackdoublezero Nice! 👌
🤣
Luke - "making it in sheet metal would be impossible". Stu -"Hold my beer" 😂😂
That crossed my mind too! 🤣
Great colour choice for Churchill, it really suits the curves of the body. Project One looks fabulous in the daylight too!
Churchill could be your best yet, Stu has done a fantastic job on the metal , paint looks amazing, hope the interior is just as stunning 👍😎
Marc's lovely. But can we please know what happened to Gaz???
Wait, is that him at 30:07?
I approve of Churchill's colour - you may continue! 😛😊
No I’m sorry, if we were to put it to a vote I think most admirers would have chosen an original era colour, - just to enhance the subtle cleverness of the door deletion. (That’s not to say the actual paint job itself is not utterly superb though!)😁
Cant wait now to see it rolling on it's TSW Phoenix 3 spokes! - Haha, could you imagine???
On the "waffling on"; indeed! Nat, waffle on as much as you like- you tell us lots about how you and Cal and all of this work. Love your "main product"- lots of gorgeous work from all corners of your shop. But the atmosphere is the best part; even when it was still a bit grungy in the corners and over crowded, the efforts and accomplishments you get from your drew are amazing; if I was a young wight, wandering around Great Britain (which you were back when I was "young wight"), I would have loved to sweep the floors for a couple of years to qualify for an apprenticeship in your shop. I would have been challenged on many days to "make the mark" and would have been the better for doing it. Your OG's are great and your youngsters are fast looking to do even better. Haven't got to Marc's reveal yet, but Churchill would be stunning in bare nekkid metal. Cheers and will you be doing SEMA anytime? I'm not really sure they are ready for Retropower, but Retropower has lots to show them, from where building a car with a credit card is not "a thing" like it is in the US. So, waffle as much as you like!
Great to hear regarding offering the trimming services out. It could be a good way to grow the business while maintaining a handle on quality is to limit the number of full builds but start offering out specialist services such as the trimming and maybe the PDM side.
My one weekly UA-cam like distributed to u guys again 😂 BIG UP for the weekly dose of automotive art ❤
you Guys need a Creaform Blue laser Scanner! no need for the mist Spray can handle shiny surfaces (even Chrome) and way more accurate. you use your 3d scanner so much.
What a sunday night...again. Thx chapps!🎉🎉🎉
A 1 minute advert in the middle of VID? I don't think so, I don't think so. Goodbye.
I'm curious to see Toby's videos. Do you have a link to his channel (or IG)?
That colour! Beautiful
ironically when Cal Said Here's James to explain , i had an advert for the band "garbage" 🤣🤣
Wow!!!!What a great colour for Churchill,i love it.
🙏
The advantage of having everything on site is the interaction between departments and quick decision-making to know whether or not there are changes to be made to the parts being created. Nice example between Luke and Richard!
Brilliant paint job mark 👍
Thank you 🙏
That churchhill paint job is incredible it looks amazing 👌😍
Thank you
🙏
44:43 - "Similar to what your Mum would use when you were learning to drive". I see what you did there.
That's a very sumptuous blue. Classy.
That was in reference to Project Churchill, I felt the need to point that out now Project One looks so much bluer. It's almost a duck-egg blue. Another classy colour!
Sunday night complete feet up ☕️in hand happy happy 👍🏻😉🇬🇧🇬🇧
Why would anyone spend a fortune for a res to mod to britains most hated car , the Allegro what a waste of money
99.9% of electricians cannot deal with control panels!
What were the 2 youtubers you recommend for the metal work ??
Great color for Churchill.
thanks for not making it purple
Marc what temperature do you run the booth at ? (for water based colours?)
22 degrees
great paint job gents
Thank you 🙏
I've met "qualified " electricians who have done work to this standard , when pulled up said " works don't it " .
I have met the same! But equally in a previous life to Retropower I have been threatened with a lynching by maintenance supervisor (who was also electrical lead) for not properly documenting minor electrical panel modifications, so the advice stuck!
Eccellent colour choice on Churchill jag
Well done Marc on a superb paint job
🙏
Not sure if you need ideas for episode 200… but it would be really interesting to talk through the techniques used on Camaro (an old build!) and how you would now approach that differently with CAD, 3D printing, new machinery, etc.
I’m sure you could stress ‘same high quality outcome, reached differently’. Not a diss tape! 😂
Perfect colour choice for Churchill.
Are you allowing strings in hoodies with rotating tools? That you don't have company clothes seems ordinary in a developing country like UK. LOL
I been looking forward to seeing Churchill painted for weeks and it was certainly worth the wait, it looks fantastic. I'm just hoping it's owner decides to have all the brightwork chromed because I think the rendering suggested a copper finish instead.
My old man had a MK1 Escort Estate in " Blue Mink" a slightly bluey silver that used to go matt easily. Come time for a respray metallic was too pricey and it ended up in a pale grey/blue pretty much identical to Project One.
The colour on the Mk1 Escort reminds me of the original colour of my Dads 1970 Mk1, an 1100 DeLuxe.
I remember my dad had a triumph 2.5 Pi , and one day he sold it came home with an ellegro , my mother and I caused such a stink he went out and bought a jaguar , PHEW
Hope they use oxblood or cricket ball leather on the interior. Some kind of red, anyway.
Nice back axle on the Jensen . Wisbech engineering do bottom arms for the Jag IRS that look the same
Ecurie Ecosse blue 😘
Re good similar metal work channels to watch, Yorkshire Car Restoration is well worth a visit..
What is a dropcoat Mark
If Mark doesn't see the comment i will comment but he actually told you what a drop coat is for if you re watch at 24mins 10secs
Ah missed that! Thanks
It’s the final coats when I drop the pressure from 2 bar down to 1.5 and stand further back and it gives it a uniform coat
Thank you for the reply. Used to do bodywork along time ago and never heard that term
What about Dean? Isn't Trim works in your building?
Hasn't been for a number of years. He continues to knock out great work but the time to bring it back in house was due
Wow, I can't believe you painted it pink!
The customer has requested the colour
Can't believe I'm watching paint dry !
@@raychambers3646 WE are watching paint dry! 😂
( I guess the blue on Churchill is rather shocking for many of us Jag traditionalists) but the quality is absolutely superb!
I'd have thought the traditionalists would be more shocked at chopping up a Mk2 Jag with hardly any panels untouched than what colour it is! - or is the shape so much what Jag should have done that is more like a Jag continuation project than a custom?!?
@@forsh3546 I have no doubt Jaguars would have produced some and I’m sure some prototypes were at least penned. ( but given their financial woes at that time) they probably couldn’t afford the costs involved. Hence its Unicorn status..
Only two coats of clear over the blue basecoat ? Also how come black on the bonnet boot doors and engine bay .Is it a guard coat because you painted the blue base coat over grey primer/undercoat on the main shell including the engine bay ?
It's black and white footage 🤣🤣🤣
@@retropowercarslol ..cheers .I was scratching my head thinking having two different colour undercoats will change the blue shade
This comment even confused me 🤣🤣
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Bit of a trick in the paint booth with the other panels thought it was black at first 🫢 bet the guys are well proud of this creation 👍👍👍with the video in black and white 😂😂😂
@7m35s... Allegro progress #OTSOT ? Well played, sir, well played.... @smithandsniff
