“Patient geniuses are the craziest peoples!” Amazing work

John, you are so talented, and funny as well. Thanks for the great videos!!!!!!!

Watched both videos and it’s an absolute “ dash-terpiece”

John. You amaze us all. Love cardboard CAD

Amazing craftsmanship. Fun fact: That Corvair dash for which you showed such disdain, was adapted into Joe Rogan’s ‘69 Nova, and looks really good there.

Dashing results John. 😊

Hi John, I watched this video for the second time, it’s the best entertainment on KZread except for the idiots that crash their cars because they don’t know how to drive. But design and manufacturing is top notch, you should’ve been a design engineer for GM or whoever. But I guess blowing a French horn pays more money and is really cool.

Awesome design and execution!

You have a lot of talent and patience

I have enjoyed this build immensely!!!

You are a true craftsmen

Just……. WOW. You do not disappoint. Beautiful work sir!

A clocksmith build a car - i'm really entertained!

I have learned things from your video that I didn’t know before…. Thanks!!

We owned a 1964 Corvette back in the 1980s... Must admit we really liked the dash design in that car too.

I hope to see this car at the CORSA convention in 2025 - awesome work John, you're the best :)

Really brilliant idea using a Corvette dash as inspiration. Building it is a serious undertaking but if someone can, it'll be you!.

Beautiful, even before it's finished. 👍🏻

Man, this is something! Love it!

As always, great work John.

John, it is such a pleasure to watch you work. The attention to detail and overall craftsmanship is truly amazing. The only other builder I've seen that begins to approach your level of skill is Mike Bello's of Bello's Kustoms.

I agree with you Dan, on all points. Keep on keepin on John.

This is coming along so beautifully. This makes me miss my old '65 Corvair. My first car, and still the car I miss the most.

Looks amazing, gotta hand it to ya, you dont take the easy road.

From the direction you're heading with this dash, I can't wait to see if you plan on installing rudder pedals! We already know the car is gonna fly! Beautiful work!👍✌️

That's some serious skill right there. Looks amazing.

I have given the dash a proper burial 😂😂 you never disappoint 👍

Fantastic progress!

John you are a very patient and great fabricator.

Just a pleasure to watch and learn thank you!!

Cool dash!

You deserve more likes and subsribers!

Nice! would have never thought of a corvette-ish dash - Congratulations on becoming a master metalsmith too! Thank you :)

Incredible. Reminiscent of how those craftsmen used to do it back in the early 1900's but with better tools and no pressure.

John, as usual you detail is overwhelming. Look forward to more.

That is pure art! I’d give multiple thumbs up if I could. Can’t wait for part 2!

Sir, epic build and I look forward to the next installment. Thank you, take care and peace out. Rock on too. lol

Looks amazing!

The C2 Corvette and the '69 Mustang dash are my favorites. I use a lot of 3003 to build aircraft fuel tanks. Easy welding stuff. The Mittler Bros. bead roller is da bomb. Nice work, as usual.

Beautiful work as always John.

You are amazing!

NICE job!

As usual, beautiful work, and instructional. Thank you!

Beautiful work John.

Outstanding!

good job man 👍💪

Just when you think this project couldn't get any cooler and you skills couldn't get any more mind blowing you give us this! Love that Corvette style dash.

As always, thumbs up.

How much would it cost me an hour to come watch you do this in person? Is it less if I promise not to help? Something tells me I'd learn 10X more at 10X speed doing so... All that said, you do great work. Thank you so much for sharing. Where do I mail my check, I want to join your fan club?

Love all your work!

Love this project.

Awesome JR 👌

I love watching your videos. The craftsmanship is just superb. The humor is pretty good too! 😂

Why not, it only took 12 minutes to build 😂 Tossing the old dash in the bin was perfect

You are amazing..Love your videos

Your thought process is amazing 🤯 almost spooky 😂

Top Dawg Carona and I LOVE your videos! Such a craftsman! Amazing hand-made work! Thank You Sir!

Love how you solve any problem out there, very nice work. I can't wait for the next part, loving it so far. Thanks John for sharing your cool build. 👍💪✌

the only drawback I see is so much dash on the sides. I guess you could make it disappear with wrap around door panels?

@@JohnReynolds661 John You continue to impress me with Your ingenuity, creativity, imagination, fabrication, execution, results. Your idea, view, imagination, decision, thinking to modify the Corvair 'Dash" [simply 'Dashing' as @rdyardie; posted] was certainly unexpected, surprising and very fitting especially for Your custom Corvair, transverse mounted LS4, V-8, performance version too; perhaps You will reveal Your selected name when appropriate too along with the independant suspension Certainly You are aware of the many Corvair based prototype experimental vehicles including the Monza GT, SS, Astro I, II, 'Vette' versions; Aerovette, Astrovette along with the obvious similarity with the model names. Am figuring that Nicole has continually been following the build with Your Corvair, having seen it with Your VW 'Bug'-'Super Beetle', Subaru EJ, turbo, 517 HP development, thus expectantly, anxiously awaiting, perhaps even visited in the interim also; Such am expecting she is prepared, to visit, You again when appropriate with the successful completion, driving, testing, perhaps which ever performance attempts at some relatively local track, thus will then record, produce, post her video too. This Corvair should seemingly have more power, torque, be quicker, faster than the "Beetle" too, though perhaps more stable, driveable too. Perhaps You have seen another custom Corvair build via a slightly older gentleman on his channel Naider's Nemesis 2.0, with his completely custom tubular frame, Corvette suspension, mid-engine V-8, longitudinal, etc. ? John, each video with each of the step You record, edit, upload, post, showing Your progress are always enjoyable along with Your unique wit, sarcasm, 'puns', etc.; Also am always looking forward toward Your next posted videos with each of the steps, progress, results too. YOur work, development, fabrication skills, planning, preparation, imagination, thought, thinking reason, reasoning, logic along with Your effort with recording, editing, uploading, posting these for others to view, enjoy, appreciate benefit from are much appreciated ;at least by me; seemingly via the posted, comments, along with many others too.

Well, thanks again. Yeah, Nicole keeps asking when the Corvair will be done. I'd like to race the VW against the Corvair eventually. It will be close but I think the Corvair will take it.

Cut away John! Just keep us posted 😊

I wouldn't worry too much about the Corvair Purists. They would have organized a blanket party for you long ago. Disclaimer: My first car was a 1967 Corvair Monza. 110hp/4spd. Loved that car.

Am also among those that appreciate any individual that enjoys using, tending to any Corvair, work on, with, it suchit becomes useable, functional and especially modified versions as John is doing too. Just located a video of the recent Corvair Road Race - "Forgeline Yenko Spirit Classic Corvair Race INDT 2023" to enjoy also. -> My father and the family enjoyed his 1965 Corvair Monza for ten years, > 100k miles; sadly had missed out with my desired to repair, fix, modify that delightful light blue vehicle; still remember, recall Our first family summer vacation in the car into PA, Pocono Mountains into NY; they has become known already then to be among those that desired to modify them for higher performance, road racing including V-8 mid-engine swaps. That Corvair, bought in Toledo, Ohio, driven there for nearly three years [excellent in the snow, but drum brakes easily flooded - vehicle is unusually low - disk brakes are a certain necessary improvement, upgrade], then driven and, moved to MD-DC for the remainder did not have any significant rust -, the steering linkage, tie rod ends failed, broke, engine needed some work including oil leaks [mostly valve covers, gaskets, oil burning, ring and the never repaired exhaust leak into the heating systems -all rather simple repairs -would have been a fantastic first car, especially as was just turning 16 with my driving license - my mother was anxious to have the vehicle removed, out of sight, gone - had their been a place, location, buddy, friend where it could be have been taken, placed, thus to work on it, my father may have allowed me. Also V-6 engines had become available again along with the older Buick's too, thus also reasonable, usable, accessible; with more thought, investigation, there were other engine, transaxle options, especially via European vehicles or just rebuild the GM/Chevy flat six cylinder and add some or portions of the Yenko upgrades too.

Walking by the children's' clothing section reveals LGTBQIA themed apparel for toddlers. But you want to know what the good news is? The good news is capitalism works and Target is losing billions in profits because of wokeness. But aside from my personal views, the only reason I dropped that line in the video is because it is current news. That's it. and by the indifference of your question, it's apparent you didn't know my political views and I don't know yours.
