244 00:09:53,867 --> 00:09:55,166 We got our angle tacks up, 245 00:09:55,166 --> 00:09:56,367 we got it fit in the car. 246 00:09:56,367 --> 00:09:57,900 Kind of judging what we can do with it. 247 00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:01,166 Jamie's gonna go ahead and start making some mounting brackets for this. 248 00:10:01,166 --> 00:10:03,800 We'll get the tank put in here, the compressors put it in here 249 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,367 kind of play with them, see whether we like it, 250 00:10:05,367 --> 00:10:07,367 and then we can see what we have to build 251 00:10:07,367 --> 00:10:08,800 to make those fit to the frame. 252 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,300 That look pretty swell, huh? You like that? 253 00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:14,266 So, we're gonna put that guy in there. 254 00:10:14,266 --> 00:10:16,467 I'll lay everything out, Make sure it's perfect. 255 00:10:16,467 --> 00:10:17,533 Mark all my holes. 256 00:10:17,533 --> 00:10:21,166 I can take the sheet metal out, drill on my holes. 257 00:10:21,166 --> 00:10:23,266 -Hey, Dustin, can I use your welder? -Heck, yeah. 258 00:10:23,266 --> 00:10:26,700 [Ryan] And then, I can put it back in and spot weld it to the angle, 259 00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:28,567 grind it, smooth it out, clean it up. 260 00:10:28,567 --> 00:10:31,667 And not desert any notes that I plan on using. 261 00:10:31,667 --> 00:10:34,000 Now, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna make a brace 262 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,967 just to strengthen the center of it up. 263 00:10:35,967 --> 00:10:38,000 Once I put my compressors there, 264 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,166 and I mount my manifold, 265 00:10:40,166 --> 00:10:42,467 the center of this is gonna wanna check. 266 00:10:42,467 --> 00:10:44,300 All right, so now that I have it all together, 267 00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:46,800 you can see the vision come to life. 268 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,266 This is like the ideal way of doing this 269 00:10:49,266 --> 00:10:51,767 just because it simplifies everything. 270 00:10:51,767 --> 00:10:53,700 I can make everything right here, 271 00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:55,800 and then just go put it down into the car, 272 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,667 and plug in my lines and we're in business. 273 00:10:58,667 --> 00:11:00,867 All right, it's in, now it's time to make some braces. 274 00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:16,266 You know, it's not every day we get to bag a Ferrari F430. 275 00:11:16,266 --> 00:11:19,000 One of the biggest challenges of the suspension setup 276 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,467 is figuring out where all those airlines go. 277 00:11:21,467 --> 00:11:24,000 [Ryan] The struts on the Ferrari have a lot of movement, 278 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,567 so you can't run a hard line into the back. 279 00:11:26,567 --> 00:11:29,266 So, now that I have my braided line fastened, 280 00:11:29,266 --> 00:11:30,967 now I can run my hard line up 281 00:11:30,967 --> 00:11:32,967 from the front to the back, back here. 282 00:11:32,967 --> 00:11:34,700 Everything's gonna have the rundown the center. 283 00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:37,700 I'm gonna have to consolidate as much as I can. 284 00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:40,667 Getting that fish through is probably gonna be the trickiest part. 285 00:11:40,667 --> 00:11:42,667 Other than that, it's like any other car 286 00:11:42,667 --> 00:11:44,934 just has a dancing horse on it. 287 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,600 There's really nowhere to run this line at all. 288 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,300 We're having to fish it through one hole and hope it hits another hole. 289 00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:56,166 [machine whirring] 290 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,166 It's kind of tricky, it's also fun, 291 00:12:00,166 --> 00:12:01,834 like, I like this part of it. 292 00:12:05,066 --> 00:12:08,100 So, I got all four lines ran from the backs from each corner. 293 00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:10,266 They ran behind this panel right here. 294 00:12:10,266 --> 00:12:12,367 So, once I get everything installed deck in here, 295 00:12:12,367 --> 00:12:15,200 I know exactly where I can pop all my holes from my bulkheads. 296 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,900 This front panel right here that covers the brakes and all that good stuff 297 00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:20,200 are where our airlines are. 298 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,100 So, I'm gonna make a little bulkhead right here 299 00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:24,000 for our four airline bulkheads 300 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,333 that we're gonna be using to go from our manifold to each bag. 301 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,667 We'll just take some aluminum, 302 00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:32,400 drill my holes here. 303 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,467 [machine whirring] 304 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,300 There she is. 305 00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:40,867 It's gonna be something like that. 306 00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:50,300 So, I was strolling through the shop over there a little while ago, 307 00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:52,000 checking out that beautiful Ferrari. 308 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,367 They're doing a great job on it. 309 00:12:53,367 --> 00:12:54,867 I got this bulkhead here. 310 00:12:54,867 --> 00:12:57,000 Not bad, but it is a Ferrari. 311 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,467 So, figured we dressed up just a little bit better. 312 00:12:59,467 --> 00:13:01,800 I'm gonna take a few measurements, draw this up in the computer. 313 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,467 Then I'm gonna cut a piece out of acrylic, 314 00:13:03,467 --> 00:13:05,767 we're gonna have the logo on it, lines around, 315 00:13:05,767 --> 00:13:06,900 just to dress this thing up a little bit, 316 00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:08,500 so it's not so plain and boring. 317 00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:10,300 All right, everything's looks good. 318 00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:11,433 Let's run it. 319 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,233 All right. 320 00:13:19,767 --> 00:13:21,000 That was easy enough. 321 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,066 Everything lines up good. 322 00:13:23,066 --> 00:13:25,467 Get this thing cleaned up a little bit and get it over to Ryan, 323

00:28:11,467 [Ryan] All right, so we got our rear end in. 647 00:28:11,467 --> 00:28:13,066 We got it mocked up, it's centered, 648 00:28:13,066 --> 00:28:14,734 it's exactly where we needed to be 649 00:28:14,734 --> 00:28:17,033 in order to start building our suspension. 650 00:28:17,033 --> 00:28:19,367 We like to use these tabs because I can level it. 651 00:28:19,367 --> 00:28:20,467 I can put it straight down. 652 00:28:20,467 --> 00:28:22,934 I can put it out in different angle if I wanted to. 653 00:28:22,934 --> 00:28:24,867 So, starting off with it here, 654 00:28:24,867 --> 00:28:27,200 and then we can take our measurements from here, 655 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,734 the frame rail for our link bar. 656 00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:34,200 [machine whirring] 657 00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:48,934 That's one. 658 00:28:48,934 --> 00:28:53,400 Now, let's do that three more times. 659 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,567 So, these are to use the right hand and a left hand, 660 00:28:55,567 --> 00:28:57,200 threaded heim here. 661 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,767 Let's say, you can have your adjustment in your four link 662 00:28:59,767 --> 00:29:01,767 without having to take your bolts out, 663 00:29:01,767 --> 00:29:04,000 and do like all that whole extra step. 664 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,367 This allows you to just bust that jam nut loose, 665 00:29:06,367 --> 00:29:08,667 and then you can adjust it whichever way you need. 666 00:29:08,667 --> 00:29:11,467 So, man, this will have a ton of adjustment in it. 667 00:29:11,467 --> 00:29:15,166 This is ideal for doing this stuff, like, right here. 668 00:29:15,166 --> 00:29:18,266 We're gonna drill some holes through the frame for some frame mounts. 669 00:29:18,266 --> 00:29:19,467 [machine whirring] 670 00:29:19,467 --> 00:29:22,266 [Ryan] The reason that we got to DOM in here with all thread 671 00:29:22,266 --> 00:29:26,033 is to ensure that our two mounting points, 672 00:29:26,033 --> 00:29:28,667 and the tabs, everything lines up. 673 00:29:28,667 --> 00:29:30,166 I'm gonna draw two lines on there, 674 00:29:30,166 --> 00:29:32,066 and it tell us exactly where we need to put our tabs, 675 00:29:32,066 --> 00:29:33,834 probably lowers and our outers. 676 00:29:33,834 --> 00:29:35,467 We can line 'em up, square 'em, 677 00:29:35,467 --> 00:29:37,333 and they're right on the line, they're perfect. 678 00:29:46,567 --> 00:29:48,667 All right, so now that we got the four links finished up, 679 00:29:48,667 --> 00:29:49,767 We got our tabs, 680 00:29:49,767 --> 00:29:51,667 we're gonna add a crossmember in here. 681 00:29:51,667 --> 00:29:52,867 We're gonna take some measurements, 682 00:29:52,867 --> 00:29:54,367 we'll cut some pipe, clean it up, 683 00:29:54,367 --> 00:29:57,834 make some bends, and hopefully we can make that match right on the money. 684 00:29:59,166 --> 00:30:01,900 [machine whirring] 685 00:30:08,467 --> 00:30:10,567 [Ryan] So, the reason why we draw the level on here, 686 00:30:10,567 --> 00:30:12,467 'cause if we just put that in there, 687 00:30:12,467 --> 00:30:14,567 and it's hanging like that and I just go bend it, 688 00:30:14,567 --> 00:30:16,567 then your bends are gonna be way off. 689 00:30:16,567 --> 00:30:18,967 Nothing will line up, it'll look bad. 690 00:30:18,967 --> 00:30:20,367 We don't want that. 691 00:30:20,367 --> 00:30:22,867 So, we use our level here. 692 00:30:22,867 --> 00:30:25,133 And then, whenever you've bend this side, 693 00:30:25,133 --> 00:30:26,934 it shouldn't have any issues. 694 00:30:34,367 --> 00:30:36,600 I got this in here, and now we got it bent. 695 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,000 I got some marks made here with the soapstone. 696 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,066 I got it kind of level, 697 00:30:40,066 --> 00:30:41,867 just kind of eyeballed it and got it pretty close. 698 00:30:41,867 --> 00:30:43,967 So, I'm gonna have to trim again one more time. 699 00:30:43,967 --> 00:30:45,367 [machine whirring] 700 00:30:45,367 --> 00:30:47,667 [Ryan] And then we could do our final cleanup and adjustments, 701 00:30:47,667 --> 00:30:49,000 and get it tacked in. 702 00:30:50,767 --> 00:30:53,133 All right, so we got our center crossmember tacked in, 703 00:30:53,133 --> 00:30:56,166 it flows into our existing pipe that we already had there. 704 00:30:56,166 --> 00:30:57,567 Looks good, everything flows. 705 00:30:57,567 --> 00:30:59,300 It's gonna clear our drive shaft. 706 00:30:59,300 --> 00:31:01,033 It's gonna clear the rear end over here. 707 00:31:01,033 --> 00:31:03,734 And tubs, and the floor, everything, it's all good. 708 00:31:03,734 --> 00:31:05,133 I like the way it looks. 709 00:31:13,133 --> 00:31:14,033 [Bill] You know, a lot of times, 710 00:31:14,033 --> 00:31:15,967 we go with air suspension on our builds, 711 00:31:15,967 --> 00:31:18,500 but it really depends on what the customer wants. 712 00:31:18,500 --> 00:31:21,600 So, we're going with coil overs on the '68 GTO 713 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,233 because that's what the owners prefer on this build. 714 00:31:24,233 --> 00:31:26,266 The only thing is we don't have enough room. 715 00:31:26,266 --> 00:31:28,367 We got the perfect place for the coil over, 716 00:31:28,367 --> 00:31:31,367 but it's not a perfect place because there's no room for it. 717 00:31:31,367 --> 00:31:34,100 The floor pan of the car, we need to cut out that, 718 00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,667 and give us the room we need for the coil overs. 719 00:31:40,467 --> 00:31:43,400 The last of the pipe in the hole shot 720 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,800 that we found and had to clean it up, so. 721 00:31:47,467 --> 00:31:48,800 We can't mess up. 722 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,133 -Hit that button right there. -That one? 723 00:31:54,133 --> 00:31:55,467 You can say you did something today. 724 00:31:55,467 --> 00:31:56,867 [Dustin] I did something today. 725 00:31:56,867 --> 00:31:58,333 I bet a piece of pie. 726 00:32:00,233 --> 00:32:02,433 [machine whirring] 727 00:32:04,667 --> 00:32:05,734 Tack it up. 728 00:32:09,300 --> 00:32:11,266 -Good job there, buddy. -Thanks. 729 00:32:11,266 --> 00:32:14,600 [Bill] This is basically gonna hold the whole weight of the rear of the car, 730 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,600 so it's gotta be super strong. 731 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,600 [Dustin] I got some cabs drawn up here, 732 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,867 and these are lower coil over mounts 733 00:32:20,867 --> 00:32:22,300 that go on our axle. 734 00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:24,266 We're gonna have Jessie burn 'em out. 735 00:32:24,266 --> 00:32:27,233 A lot faster than me doing it by hands for sure. 736 00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:36,667 [machine whirring] 737 00:32:36,667 --> 00:32:38,667 So, Jessie got us hooked up on some bracketry. 738 00:32:38,667 --> 00:32:40,367 We've got our lowers, we got our upper mount, 739 00:32:40,367 --> 00:32:42,033 all made out of quarter inch material. 740 00:32:42,033 --> 00:32:44,600 Next thing is just placing it in the perfect spot. 741 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,834 Do a little welding, that's a wrap. 742 00:32:49,867 --> 00:32:52,166 [Dustin] All right, we got our lower mounts on the axle. 743 00:32:52,166 --> 00:32:53,266 They're good to go. 744 00:32:53,266 --> 00:32:55,900 Put our coil overs back on and do the top mount. 745 00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:01,000 Okie dokie! 746 00:33:01,266 --> 00:33:02,634 Got it, man. 747 00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:05,767 [Bill] Now that the suspension is done, 748 00:33:05,767 --> 00:33:07,500 I'm really getting excited for what's next. 749 00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:10,266 We're about to fabricate something in the engine bay 750 00:33:10,266 --> 00:33:12,066 that's completely one of one. 751 00:33:12,066 --> 00:33:15,300 It will really make this build stand out when you open up that hood. 752 00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:17,400 Then, it's to body, and then full paint. 753 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,767 John over interior definitely has his work cut out for him. 754 00:33:20,767 --> 00:33:22,166 By the time it's done, 755 00:33:22,166 --> 00:33:23,767 just about every guy in the shop 756 00:33:23,767 --> 00:33:25,567 will have put some time in on this thing, 757 00:33:25,567 --> 00:33:27,533 and it will definitely show. 758 00:33:29,567 --> 00:33:31,367 You know, the Ferrari F430 759 00:33:31,367 --> 00:33:33,467 is gonna get the all hands-on treatment 760 00:33:33,467 --> 00:33:34,634 just like the GTO. 761 00:33:34,634 --> 00:33:37,767 The custom bumper started out as a metal fabrication job, 762 00:33:37,767 --> 00:33:39,767 but once we started cutting that fiberglass, 763 00:33:39,767 --> 00:33:42,233 John jumped in and knew exactly what to do. 764 00:33:44,266 --> 00:33:46,600 [John] They got the front end of this car cut wide open, 765 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,867 and called me when it's time to fiberglass stuff together. 766 00:33:48,867 --> 00:33:52,367 So, the first thing I'm gonna do is take the acrylic rings that I made, 767 00:33:52,367 --> 00:33:54,667 I'm gonna attach some fleece to the backside of that. 768 00:33:54,667 --> 00:33:57,667 It's good and stretchy, so I'm just gonna get it glued down. 769 00:33:57,667 --> 00:33:59,567 That fleece is gonna give us something 770 00:33:59,567 --> 00:34:02,133 to create the contour in the shape that we need, 771 00:34:02,133 --> 00:34:04,233 and it gives us something to hold our fiberglass. 772 00:34:04,233 --> 00:34:06,467 Gotta make sure I get this stretched good enough, 773 00:34:06,467 --> 00:34:08,333 so it's not going to sag. 774 00:34:09,767 --> 00:34:12,367 All right, so kind of see where we're headed. 775 00:34:12,367 --> 00:34:14,834 We'll get that piece where it needs to be held in place. 776 00:34:14,834 --> 00:34:16,066 Once that's done, 777 00:34:16,066 --> 00:34:17,767 lock it in place good and solid. 778 00:34:17,767 --> 00:34:19,467 Time to mix the goo. 779 00:34:19,467 --> 00:34:22,767 We're using a fiberglass reinforced body filler 780 00:34:22,767 --> 00:34:26,266 that will bond to the fiberglass bumper and to the acrylic, 781 00:34:26,266 --> 00:34:29,233 so when it's in place, it will be in place. 782 00:34:31,867 --> 00:34:35,767 So, in order to maintain the curve in front of the car and all that geometry, 783 00:34:35,767 --> 00:34:39,133 I'm gonna reuse pieces that they cut off. 784 00:34:39,133 --> 00:34:41,266 Cut this here on this corner. 785 00:34:41,266 --> 00:34:42,467 Get it match we wanted. 786 00:34:42,467 --> 00:34:45,066 We'll build a fill in all the way through here. 787 00:34:45,066 --> 00:34:47,934 [machine whirring] 788 00:34:47,934 --> 00:34:51,734 [John] It's pretty important to make sure you do all your trim a little at a time, 789 00:34:51,734 --> 00:34:53,567 get everything exactly where it needs to be. 790 00:34:53,567 --> 00:34:56,000 We need to know that this car is gonna be symmetrical. 791 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,834 [machine whirring] 792 00:34:57,834 --> 00:34:59,500 Once that's done, I'll get some fiber off, 793 00:34:59,500 --> 00:35:00,867 get 'em locked in place. 794 00:35:00,867 --> 00:35:02,600 Some of that down there. 795 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,567 I've got some foam that is resistant to chemical. 796 00:35:05,567 --> 00:35:06,734 We'll have to worry about fiberglass, 797 00:35:06,734 --> 00:35:08,266 anything melting it or anything like that. 798 00:35:08,266 --> 00:35:10,867 I'm gonna get it in here, use that as a filler to bridge the gaps. 799 00:35:10,867 --> 00:35:13,433 Once I get that, we'll get some chopped strand mixed up. 800 00:35:13,834 --> 00:35:15,567 A-ha. 801 00:35:15,567 --> 00:35:18,667 Let's do this without making a huge mess. 802 00:35:18,667 --> 00:35:20,367 I'm filling this in with chopped strand 803 00:35:20,367 --> 00:35:21,467 was definitely the way to go. 804 00:35:21,467 --> 00:35:22,734 Not only does he fill it in, 805 00:35:22,734 --> 00:35:24,467 but it gives it a lot of strength. 806 00:35:24,467 --> 00:35:27,166 So we won't have to worry about any crack out or anything like that. 807 00:35:27,166 --> 00:35:28,600 You know, it's not gonna move now, 808 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,066 so the next step is get this ring positioned where it needs to be. 809 00:35:33,033 --> 00:35:35,300 Ah...
