    should have flocked the center console itll prolly hide the imperfections. Love this though

      Bimmer Dude no mate. I prefer the contrast between the gloss parts and the flocked dash

    • @DG_427
      @DG_427 6 років тому +2

      Absolutely not, it would look bad when the tombstone is flat black. And if he would flock both it would just look stupid, it would be just too much.

      It would be too much then

      Flock isn’t durable enough to use on that area. I suggested suede

    Don't let your cat get used to walking on your car... Trust me. They use claws when they jump off.

      @arthur1154 6 років тому +13

      eel1331 or when they don’t quite make it and slide down the side from the roof of your hatchback multiple times🤬 I had a few strays on my property and they caused hundreds in damage to my baby not to mention my 66 chevy I had to have my car and truck buffed and detailed I called the pound that day because the shit isn’t cheap and I love my vehicles those cats did nothing but cause damage and attack my husky who just wanted to play with them

    • @eel1331
      @eel1331 6 років тому +1

      Arthur 115 fuck yeah. My cat has like two stray friends and they all like to lay on my car, I keep scaring them though haha

      This is why my car is staying black. I always park it in the sun and animals just stay away from it cus its boiling hot.

    • @arthur1154
      @arthur1154 6 років тому +1

      Special that’s the thing my 66 chevy is black lol it burns to the touch in the summer but where I live the wind is still pretty cool so the truck is warm not hot and the little pricks love it my car on the other hand is “light tundra metallic” which is a greenish silvery metallic so it’s quite cool in the sun in my truck I can’t even rest my arm on the door sill while driving lol psssssss aaaaahhhhh

    • @DamonBMW
      @DamonBMW 6 років тому

      damn that sucks. yea i know the feeling haha, the amount of times ive burned away the hair on my elbow from the center console...

  • @jzledwards01
    @jzledwards01 6 років тому +15

    Ok.....one step closer. You really should build a work bench. You could make a film on the build. Build the perfect work bench for a car builder/modder, and a film maker. You could add all the tools for mechanical work and tools for film making. Vice, chop saw etc, then lighting, dollies etc. Do it geez. Jon. London.

    @NoLagProductions_Chad 6 років тому +31

    If you use 3M 4240 epoxy, it will be stonger plus it is sandable within an hour. I use it on dash mods to hold in ABS plastic panels. It's worth the money. The JB plastic bonder cracks over time and with what you are going to do with this car, that might be a bad thing. Just a little insight.

  • @rclegends5557

    Can you film the old boring stuff on the Van? I like watching you work on your vehicles

    • @redsquirrelftw
      @redsquirrelftw 6 років тому +2

      Yeah may as well, though I guess it might be faster to just fix it without filming, but could do a time lapse or something.

      @koreykramer1589 6 років тому +1

      Retro Buttercup I would totally donate during a livestream. The only thing that I could see a issue with a livestream is the auto zone trips and that parts that need to be ordered. But I think he will have enough stuff to do for a solid 45 min 1 hour livestream

  • @sampatton548
    @sampatton548 6 років тому +1

    I'm guessing the things in the boxes are rock sliders or tube bumpers. ALSO! you should TOTALLY do an ACTUAL off-road build!!! Get a Toyota truck, 4 runner, Jeep Cherokee, Geo tracker, or something along those lines. Do an actual budget off-road build you can take Wheeling! I have a 3000gt vr4, an na Miata, and an rx8, and I recently got into 4 wheel drive with my 90 4runner and I have to say it's just as fun of not more fun as road cars because you can take 4 other people with you!

  • @flyingsquirrel9996

    The flocked dash and the new shifter/window switch piece looks really well done as well. The skyrim reference was on point.

  • @osmiumviii4193
    @osmiumviii4193 6 років тому

    I like the outro with just a timelapse you cleaning up. Idk why, it makes it feel like a credits reel from a TV show or something. The vids are so much better with you not so salty about the battle van!

  • @luke4108
    @luke4108 6 років тому

    With your small holes and in perfections on plastic, a trick I've learnt from my 3d printed objects is to use some baby powder and super glue, if you have no baby powder flour works fine as well, cheap diy bondo but sticks and sands really well on plastic. I've also used normal bondo but it takes a lot more prep work to get it looking nice on plastic specifically the blended sections.

  • @73Bugman
    @73Bugman 6 років тому +1

    Small fab work is rewarding. You need to sand bit more. A note. Black plastidip gives an oem like finish and hides small imperfections.

  • @RDubMiami
    @RDubMiami 6 років тому

    Shaved my head after you did it, thanks for the motivation. Battle van after the bus build was not a viewers choice award... but yeah build a drift truck... or a lambo, that'll get views if that's what your chasin

  • @scotthartwig7190
    @scotthartwig7190 6 років тому

    Totally like the center now it looks great for what you did to it. I think you think about flocking the center now, it could hide the little imperfections on the sides.

  • @carljenkins7354
    @carljenkins7354 6 років тому

    I really like your center console mod. Looks good, seems practical. Flock it to cover the imperfections and match it to the dash.

    You can get a plastic weld putty. It comes in a stick with the hardener in the middle. Just cut off a chunk and knead it in your hard until one color. It sticks to plastic and can be sanded. Takes a good day to dry tough.

    • @brazwewn
      @brazwewn 6 років тому

      You can also use something called Milliput. It is similar, but can be molded after applying with water. Here is a video where I use the other epoxy.

    3M makes a special filler that we use on bumpers it’s very rigid but has just enough flexibility. It’s 2 part comes in a tube hardens in 15 minutes sometimes less. It’s called EZ Sand bumper repair

  • @JagerEinheit
    @JagerEinheit 6 років тому

    Gingium, a thought, maybe you should take the parts you cut and the ones for the switch panel/gauges to a 3d printer shop, or draw/ sculpt it in CAD yourself, so you have a part that looks better and is likely stronger then the cut parts. might also be easier to paint/cover the 3d parts as well. If there is a hacker space in your area they might be willing to do it also cheaper. or for the cost of you joining the location like most do. it would give you access to more esoteric tools for weird projects as well.

    i need to do something like this on my car, but adding in cup holders. my car came with the cup holders on a slide out thing directly infront of the shifter. if i put a cup there i end up punching it when i shift into gear >.> i have no other cup holders D=
