#351719 Thanks! Those aren't in real time, we actually started filming almost a year ago. We get to work on it about 1 night a month these days, with our schedules. We actually were doing some welding last night and it's really starting to come together! Now we have to pay attention to some details.

#352612 I uploaded Episode 4 this weekend...
Here's part 4:
https://youtu.be/jPCEkPH2M3s

We got the impact beams inside the rear doors welded together with a long piece of 1" square stock and also welded the stock to the rear floor to tie everything together. Then we built a couch in 60 seconds using leftover honda parts from the Accord back seat & donor Del Sol :lol:

Next time, we cut out the roof!!! :woot:

#353024 Lol, just wait... He's going to love when we finally get the rear window working!
And sorry about any adult language that he may have heard. We try to keep it PG13 but I know we really get into it sometimes and forget. I think more so in the future episodes.

Actually all of the clips of us working on the car in the first 6 episodes were all from the very first night we started. (notice Mikey is always wearing a blue flannel and I have the same VTECH shirt? :lol: )
From the into, to the walk around, to all the gutting/cutting... That first night we started around 9pm and went till around 4:30 in the morning. Our most productive night by far.

#353033 Don't worry about the language. I say a lot worse lol. He knows what shop talk is. I'm stoked to see the final product.
