Great looking panels, you both already look so confident working the bead roller. Also I realized your videos have become part of my Sundays, with just an idle thought during breakfast "I wonder what Oliver and his dad have been building this week". It's not just both of you taking on this challenge of building this car, but also the challenge of filming and editing to update each week with such regularity. Looking forward to next Sunday!

I find that safety glasses create a vortex behind them sucking everything in and trapping it there until it goes into your eyes. For real good eye protection I'd recommend goggles from skiing or motocross. Foam surround feels nice (doesn't cut in) and full encapsulation for full protection!

Me and my coworkers have noticed this aswell, get more junk in your eyes with glasses. Safety Squints for the win!

Hi guys. I just started watching this project about a month ago, and it's really looking good!! I wish that I had started watching closer to when you started, because I believe that I could have helped. I can't imagine how tedious it must have been to drill all of those holes in the sheet metal for welding. I have quite a little collection of tools, and one of them is a combination step panel flanger and hole punch. It's air powered and hand held. I think I paid something like $14 American, because the box was torn and the instructions had been damaged. I would have gladly paid the shipping to get it to you, just because. I don't know if you have an air compressor that would keep up, but this little tool is such a work saver, and even if it was full price, it's pretty darn cheap. It's sold online from Harbor Freight. Finest Chinese quality😉, but really a handy tool. Nice work!! Very informative and entertaining.

Happy 3 year anniversary. So many good ideas that I can apply to my Lotus Europa project, thanks for the inspiration and education. BTW, at least in the states, Honda Civic brake calipers seem to be very common and readily available. Quick search seems that they cross reference to other makes and models, do you own research and what is available in your area.

Those are some snazzy side panels, you’re making some good progress lately. One thing I noticed about your workspace, is the glass doors that was a great choice for getting some natural light although I imagine it’s chilly in winter.

Enjoying you project from OZ I find a sheet or strip of copper between metal and timber. Makes fora much better weld. Copper acts as a heat sink. Less distortion. Can weld off edge of sheet and not blow an edge off. Weld won’t stick to copper Just my 2 bobs worth. You are going to get hammered with vice drilling clips 👍😂

speaking of forces. I would have thought you would have had at least small tubes from the front frame rails to the top of the shock towers. I think those may flex more than expected. I complete agree with you use of steel panels vs. aluminum. For the size panels you are using, there would be little weight savings even if you riveted and bonded the panels.

@OliverPickard 11 ай бұрын

It's funny you say that as the shock mounts are so wildly over built we've been considering drilling them

@jimf5160 11 ай бұрын

it just seems to me that with the height of the shock mounts, there might be more leverage than expected...not seeing them in person, I could be wrong.@@OliverPickard

These are rather expensive, but Heatwave makes some good size safety glasses. Or you could go with the over-the-glasses (OTG) type safety glasses. I have found those OTG ones to be more comfy anyway, because there is more room for air to flow, and my eyes don't feel as claustrophobic in the OTG ones.

@juscozcustoms Жыл бұрын

have you heard of a pneumatic punch and flange tool? They are less than $100 dollarydoos but I'm not sure what that is in rural france. It will put holes on the edges of 1mm sheet all day long for plug welding, It can also put a step flange along the edge of a panel the only problem I can see for you is that it has a 5mm hole punch where you seem to prefer a 2 or 3mm well that and I don't know if you have a compressor.

When you say you need rear calipers, are they technically "front" calipers since the go on the transaxle end, or do you need actual rear calipers? I googled 7th gen civic since i thought that was what you had said in the video and reman'd ones are available in the US pretty easily.
