Not sure if I missed but around 1:13 you mentioned link in description of where you purchased it from. Any chance you can provide that once more please or location like rock1auto etc etc.

As a starting point rather than using tape I would use a Compass or Calipers to trace the cowl radius on to the hood. Then sand back to the mark to get an even gap.

I am going through the wiring right now and have the same question on the "Hot Rod Wire". What was the verdict? and where did you decide to place the fuse box? Thanks for sharing

Another interesting video-nice work Thomas! To help adjust the hood gap can you adjust the main body at all or is it fixed in one position on the mounts?

keep up the work....very informative

thanks Thomas! so wonderful that you are taking the time to make these videos for us

Thank you, Thomas, for another great video. You are an inspiration to all the other builders out there. Hope to see you soon, driving your Coupe.

This is nearly exactly where I am with the hood. The passenger side curves in too on mine. Additionally the drivers side upper corner seems to sit quite proud of the body. It’s going to take a ton of manipulation. I’m now testing a new gas strut location closer to the pivot point to see if I can eliminate the struts wanting to push the body forward.

Hello there. Im having my a4 2017 b9 chasis front upper control arms replaced but my service advisor is telling me that there are 2 upper arms on each side. Do you think my service advisor knows what is he talking about.

My opinion is that they had no clue what to do and thats why they asked that much thinking u would say no 😂 I had to do my timing chain on my audi a8 I've been to 20 garages 3 out of twenty gave me an outrageous price and the rest of them didn't wanted to touch it😂

It’s not a torx it’s a triple square socket

Another great video Thomas! We appreciate all the lessons learned, as we definitely keep them in mind with our own build. And thanks for sharing our channel and others' with your audience! Hopefully folks are watching all of our channels, because there are many ways you can build this car and its good to see the process from different perspectives.

love your videos thomas. I just had my first start on my gen 3 coupe a coupe weeks ago. Its all about the journey

Dont worry about the timeline too much, I got my car to the point I needed an engine to keep moving forward, and it took me 6 months to find a coyote aluminator. At least I'm making progress again. I have a few videos up, not the best, but have to start somewhere.

Thank you, Thomas, for another informative video. I especially liked seeing how you modified the front hinges so that the hood will open wider.

We all have different situations. You keep doing you! We will follow along and enjoy your experiences with you!

good to see ya back at it. keep em coming whenever you get the chance

My favorite Corvette body

How do you the tab for the airbag “Orange yellow”glovebox?

How come so many folks got the srs airbag light on? Do I need to disconnect the battery before remove the glove box?

I used an OEM nissan clock spring in my 2012 Titan and now the traction control light is on. Did I do something during installation or does it need to be reset at the dealer?

Currently dealing with than nightmare pinch bold. 😭😭😭 Heat is next. This is a great video, however, and I thank you for doing it.

How did you managed to get the torque wrench into the other end of the control arm ?

Dealers are crazy these days. Macan has the same design. Dealer wanted $3000+. I bought the Meyle set for $220. It took me 4 hrs to get it done both sides. The pinch bolts on my car were easy to remove. The only challenging part was the installation of the interior bolts. The air suspension left limited space for my torque wrench. I ended up buying a slim flex head torque wrench and a low profile 16mm socket. Then the job was done smoothly.

Oof, using Torx on Triple Square bolts.... ouch.

Awesome stuff as usual Thomas! I don’t know if we’re brave enough to tackle the bodywork, but it’s good to see how it is done if we decide to try!

Better to spend 50 bucks on the right tools

Thank you so much, I was wondering how this works with the Q5 considering the last car we had had a small wheel inside to do this. But thanks again, as you said, the light were stupidly low :)

Ill take your old fender and hood. Pay it forward

Any hitachi parts?

Thank you for this! Saved me a few hundred bucks for sure!

Thank you sir! Success!! Those damn double plugs were annoying, glad I watched!! Only thing I would add after 3rd ignition on let it sit like u did for awhile, I shut it off quickly & 4th time still had the airbag light but doing it as u did worked 2nd time. Cruise & all steering wheel controls working again!!

Also works for 2012 q5 , thanks

A more effective/easier method of removing a stuck and seized in pinch bolt is to snap off/cut off the HEAD of the bolt to then PULL the bolt out from the threaded side using a specific, and very expensive, pulling tool.........but I prefer to use some threaded bar, a long connecting nut and a short length of square metal box section, costing approximately £20👍

BRAVO CA VA BEAUCOUP M,aider

Do you know if there is an electric start for the 69 z50a? Cant find any info on it, just the ct70

Im pretty sure the other wire is for a shut off switch. On the later models there was a shut off switch on the handlebars. You can put a dc switch between the black wire and the green wire and it will ground the coil and shut the bike off.... either way, with or without the switch you still ground the wire to the frame. Thanks for the video!

Love that you shared the flashlight trick to line up your marks to cut out on the door. Very cool!

I just finished door fitment and would suggest trimming back the rear edge some to give be you some gap to the quarter panel. Radius the top of the door at the back to allow the arc to not hit the main body at the top. You will need to bevel the underside of the aft lip as well to help with clearance. Once you are “almost” done, latch the door and loosen the door frame to the hinges and the hinges to the frame and wiggle/hold/tighten the door frame to hinges first then the hinges to body last. Hope this helps

Thank you, Thomas, for taking time to film, edit, & post another informative video. You are helping a lot of fellow builders understand exactly what is required to move the project towards the last page of the build manual. Please keep the videos coming.

Best Type 65 build channel, hands down!

good job buddy, check my daytona on my channel. hope you enjoy your build!

Awesome vid - great job

Great job ,not sure but i seen some guys tighten up the stem before pumping up the handel .

Idel up for compressor on loads if not turn on the second fan on most cars that have two fans perhaps.

great job thomas!

Can you connect temporarily the doorstops, in the roadster kit, there are leather doorstops maybe that would give you an idea how far the door will open.

Between the hood and the doors, I cussed the doors more than the hood. Lots of adjustment directions. Great job documenting!

Nice Job Thomas; thank you for continuing to take your time to make & edit & post videos. They are very helpful. Williamsburg Coupe / Coyote / 5 speed Tremec.

Wait till you start on the hood.
