Nick prepares the now stripped Infiniti G35 XS to accept the shell of the '51 Ford. Then when the '51 is brought into the picture there is NO SUCH THING as 'fitment issues'! Watch as see how this project unravels before your eyes

Looks like the wheelbase is right on ... definately need a roof drop ... I personally like the shoebox tailites ... as far as sound goes it's a six ... not much you can do for that ... might as well leave the stock exhaust on ... lookin goos though ... now the fun begins ...

Nick...I'm loving this series. Body swapping is something I've never spent much time thinking about. However, it seemingly makes a ton of sense. Looking forward to each new video. Thanks brother.

@iNVisionPrototypes Жыл бұрын

Old school stylin' with modern hustle and we can't forget all the great amenities! This '51 Ford was in bad enough condition where there was no point to restore/resto-mod it and this undertaking makes sense. Normally, we upgrade the suspension, brakes, throw a big engine in and build a cool custom. Thanks for watching and I'm gonna let you in on a little secret... there'll be a lot more cutting in the near future! lol

@robberry1949 Жыл бұрын

Looks awesome Nick, measuring twice and cutting once works: that infinity looks like the identical wheelbase. Can't wait for next episode!

@iNVisionPrototypes Жыл бұрын

Yes Sir, ! The Tudor's wheelbase is actually 2" longer than the G35's. But, since we're going to be opening up the arches that difference will get taken care of nicely. Thanks for watching Rob!!

@regmartin3629 Жыл бұрын

That is a very cool build, amazed that the wheel base is the same. Looking forward to more videos on this project!

@iNVisionPrototypes Жыл бұрын

Actually, there's a 2" difference. The '51 is longer, but with the help of a little metal shaping magic it'll all work out... I hope.

I'm sure you did a lot of measuring on both vehicles to to get to this point, awesome. Can you lower the donor chassis to get it in the weeds ? I'm sure you will figure out some way, such as channeling the rockers to get the Ford body closer to the ground even after it's loaded.

@iNVisionPrototypes Жыл бұрын

We're working on squeezing a few more inches out from between the chassis and shell.. probably around 3. That's going to help a lot. Thanks for watching Richard!

So do you think you might be able to channel the body down two or three more inches ? If you are not chopping the roof to much . Good luck .
