For someone who doesn’t weld aluminium much your pretty damn good. Beautiful work John.
He has puddle control dialed in. He is good enough. Better than most
This is such a great build. Watching you weld really inspires me to do something. I think I'll start drinking early today.
Its almost a shame to have to put a body on the car, covering all that amazing design and fabrication. Thank you for sharing the update and the finished car will be awesome but the journey may be the best part. Take care, stay safe and peace out.
I am a tool and diemaker, 32 yrs in the trade and I see John as a genius. Love the brain power.
I had a 65 Corvair back in the day and always wanted to put one of the Crown V8 kits in it, but your build is exponentially more sophisticated than what was available in kit form back in the day. Plus a turbocharged LS will be the bomb (hopefully not literally). Your fabrication and engineering skills are top notch. I look forward to each episode of your build.
.....$adly this is one kit that wont happen.......
John, I really enjoy your craftsmanship and ingenuity. Your dry sense of humor keeps me in stitches and the sound effects during the montage was off the charts hilarious. Thank you for the great videos.
John you are a great engineer and fabricator. Always enjoy your videos!!
A turbocharger? Well that certainly simplifies things. Loving the build!
Beautiful fabrication, and engineering, I envy you TIG skills. Good to see a Corvair getting the love and attention it deserves.
The closest thing to fabrication some of us will get is watching others do it, Thanks.
I'm really enjoying this series. I've loved the second get Corvairs ever since they were introduced (I'm an old fart) and almost from the beginning thought a mid-engine setup would be perfect for them. Your work is incredible, both in engineering and execution. Thanks for the videos.
My pops has a real 66 covair crown v8 mid engine conversion covair 327 with 4spd has the complete kit even instructions and sales catalog for them. Been sitting for a long time gunna get it out and finish it the way he had envisioned they used to run salom races in parking lots or windy roads back in the day. We trailered it to the Covair nationals last year since it was close.
John, once again you have dazzled me with your precision work and awesome humor. You have made me a John Reynolds’s You Tube Junkie. My wife thought I was having a heart attack when I noticed ep 9 was available. I think I viewed ep 8 about 6 time’s while waiting for this one. Once again awesome work and engineering. Can’t wait to see the suspension in action. Cool design. And Oh, thanks for letting me know that I too have a CNC Plasma cutter.
As they might say in Yorkshire, UK, "ee, int' 'er cool!" Great to see the progress John & I quite enjoyed the "This Old Tony" approach :D
I'm am so envious of TOT. He is a master of wit and editing. Imitation is the best form of flattery?
Yes ditto on “this ol tony” ❤️
@@JohnReynolds661 Well, you do OK yourself...
John's metal skills are just amazing!
That’s some beautiful work John. I did quite a bit of fabrication when I was a Garbageman. Mainly busy work during the winter off season. ( I worked Sequoia/KIngs Canyon May 1st/November 1st). The thing about fabrication on Garbage trucks is beauty isn’t requisite. It IS appreciated though. This is really fun to watch and I await each episode with bated breath. Cheers and Happy Holidays!
I love your sound substitutions! Fantastic work! Thank you for sharing it all.
John is only person I've seen that can make a perfect track on a fresh snow. Thanks for sharing.
in case no one has said it yet: "ralph nader eat your heart out." I've been intrigued about a Corvair LS4 build for a long time. thanks for all your hard work.
The entertainment to technical content ratio is excellent! Keep up the good work. You are entering ToT and AvE territory!
The editing style will probably continue to evolve. I'm more fascinated with that than fabrication.
John, great job as usual, I'm a retired master mechanic. Have worked on everything from lawnmowers to tugboat. But my work never reached the precision your fab work does!!
This is like watching Dick Proenneke build his cabin in Alaska. Inspiring skills backed by “of course I can do that” attitude.
Thought this for some time...You are THE true mechanical scientist.
Most fabricators can't engineer worth a darn, and most engineers can't fabricate worth a crap. You seem to have a good blend of both worlds going on!
I love the bonus material, it really makes you feel like you get the best bang for your buck. Thanks love your work.
There is something cathartic about watching you fabricate !
I really enjoy watching a one of a kind build being created. Truly a one of one car!
🍎 thanks for the ABC lesson. That contraption for resting your arm was worth the price of admission alone. Happy Holliday's
With the amount of traction and weight in the rear this car should launch . I look forward to the next step .
a friend of mine put a SC 3800 4t60 and ended adding a turbo to the mix.it was very cool but but i still need my V8 .he is retired inventor but always had a welder do all of the welding .it was impressive but your tig welding is top notch
I always forget to wear my hearing protection when I watch your videos ;)
I'm surprised he hasn't built a flying motor cycle.great work
Your creative ability with steal and aluminum is amazing, wish these were in my future. Only in my dreams! The 65 corsa was a monster with a decent tune, would outrun almost anything!! Beautiful work on a beautiful little car! Thankx for your efforts, JL
Absolutely fabulous welding and fabrication skills.
This is the Greatest most Phenomenal Amazing Awesome Build series EVER on YT! GENIUS JR👀🤔👑👍🏁Chromoly Tig
The hours of design and fabrication WOW
One of my new favorite builds!
It’s probably hard to believe now, but back in the early 60’s a 6 cylinder, air-cooled boxer was suspect and foreign to many Americans and shoehorning in a V-8 was very comforting. Kind of like sticking a V-8 in a Tesla today. Nonetheless, a V-8 really makes a Corvair move!! My first car was a ’65 Corvair and I had a buddy who popped a 327 chevy into his Corvair. It was definitely faster than mine LOL.
I love this project & your skills. The humor in your videos is a plus.
Just watched 5th bolt LS4
Started watching this & gosh your familiar... OH MY GOSH your the VW Guy ???
Everyone of these cars you engineer followed with fabrication that you make and you are fu¢√ing inspiring to me.
Thanks for sharing your passion, I get it .
Fantastic. I love the fabrication how to’s. Thank you for taking me along.
Impressive as always. I was thinking some sort of Bell-Crank with internal coil overs. Always enjoy your skills and ingenuity. Cheers!
Wonderful craftmanship and project. Thank you for sharing it.
A pleasure to watch. Thanks John.
Amazing attention to detail! 💪👍🏼
man this is an awesome build
new name for the welding armrest - the can-a-lever
Back in the day we were doing Olds Toronado drivetrain swaps to Corvairs and Volkswagen. Been there done that!
Always a pleasure and learning experience - Thanks !
Great job as always. Great idea that arm holder!
Nice work John !
The quality of your work looks like it came from a jeweler. 👍👍
Love the sound effects!
Nice work John. I am really enjoying this build series it is very interesting seeing how you build up from sheet to a finished item.
Intercooler looks great
Boy do I get IDEAS!... Love the Videos... Thanks for Sharing
nice project. enjoying this build and..... your humor!
Such a FUN build!
Love the two stroke chainsaw sound track
Brilliant build .
Wow. Just wow. Great job
Way to go on the sound effects! Humorous.
One very talented guy this John fellow
Dude has mad fab skillz
Looks good John.
killer job! looks damn good
I am loving it !!!
My DIY Fabrication HERO. Thank you JR!
Thanks, Jack!
Very nice work indeed.
this is good job man 👍
Quality work sir!
Brilliant, fun to watch.
John your doing some nice fab work that car should be real fun.
Gorgeous work! I just subscribed!
This man is the best I've ever seen I'm jealous as he'll of his perfection
This man should get the John Reynolds award for engineering..
That inner cooler is damn impressive
Nice tig work 👍
Wish my tools would make such nice noises.
Great Job@!
Earl Scruggs called...
thx for the video
Great welds
Great vid!!!! 👍👍👍
Superb!!!👍
New subscriber here.
You've got a good thing going and I see some ToT influence which is great.
Request: avoid filming without a tripod.
Dang! You are one smart dude!
nice fab work
Amazing!
Good stuff!
Good stuff
Awesome!
i like to watch your videos, and i like to wait to see your aliens tools surprises...
i reckon you're related to this old tony in some way shape or form. very nice work.
You can bend it on that brake. Those dies are adjustable.
pretty interesting.
You’ve probably already considered this but the placement of the springs and dampers more towards the centre of mass is better for handling dynamics. Of course trying to fit them in an optimal place now that everything is mostly in its permanent home is next to impossible.
TURBO?? I thought that was a joke. So going by sloppymechanics you should be able to make about 800hp reliably. The sounds are a nice touch. Awesome as always!
The cam and intake are mild so yeah, 700-800hp at the most. I don't want it to be outright frightening to drive like the Volkswagen.
"CNC Plasma cutter" Hahahahahah
If you are interested in the pneumatic chamfering tool in the video (less than $70) here's a link:

Every time you post a video.... I have to head out and buy another tool. Last episode I picked up the chamfering tool. Man..... that sure is as easy to use and makes beautiful chamfers. I've been eyeing one of those fancy articulating armrests for the last year. I guess I now need to go buy one of them too 👍🤣😂🤣👍. Although I suspect it wont make my welds as pretty as my chamfers, but it sure couldn't hurt. Merry Christmas!
calculamacations I wish they taught that at my school
Great!
Your spatial visualization ability is off the charts. Looking forward to see the cantilever shock setup. Do you envision any suspension tuning issues?
Honestly, I envision all sorts of issues throughout the build. But I'll solve them one by one. There's lot's of adjustments on the rear suspension. Surly, something will work.
------------------- entire build is a issue of ingenuity overcoming obstacles .... no directions .... imaginations....
