At 25 seconds into the video there is a Lotus Omega/Lotus Carlton! We need a video on that as well please!

In Europe it’s called a Opel Omega lotus. Remember seeing a brand new one in Paris coming out of a small street onto the Champ Elysees as a 18 year old on a holiday. Damn I was impressed. I am 53, coming from Holland and haven’t seen one live ever since

AGREED! I was shocked when I saw that in the video

That positive battery cable needs a grommet or a bulkhead pass-thru. If the sheet metal wears through the insulation (and it will) you are going to have a nasty short circuit.

Reason I scrolled down too, soft brake lines bolted to the underside of frame- exposed to the road. Widowmaker indeed.

Now watching through the whole video, as much as I love the looks of the build and the presentation, unfortunately therw are so many safety problems it's impossible to ignore. Hope no one gets hurt with it.

That gunk that builds up from E85 is the exact reason you try to source ethanol free gas for anything with carburators. If gas with ethanol sits at all that tends to build up, especially in areas where the gas can evaporate (i.e. carb bowls) which then clog up your jets. Ask me how I know.

Fuel will evaporate and varnish. It's not the ethanol content. Yes, ethanol is hydroscopic, but, it's not the sole reason fuel turns to a varnish.

For what it’s worth, fuel cell bladders and baffle foam will deteriorate in a day or two , if left dry, after having been exposed / used with fuel. Same deal with AN rubber fuel lines. Having dealt with helicopters, immediately after de-fueling, our standard practice was to fog the fuel cells and fuel lines with motor oil, for preservation, while open / dry. I would imagine E-85 to be the worse yet in this aspect.

I will admit, seeing this thing again does give me the itch to get out and fabricate again. Seeing a good chunk of the custom parts of this (sans frame) put together with rivets and other more accessible tools really makes me want to hop back in the garage this weekend and get some of the stuff I've been putting off fabbed up for my project.

I agree!!!!!!

Still my favorite build on this channel. You ever see a car and think, yea that was built for me? This is definitely that car. Wish I could afford to buy this off you. The front grill is still such an amazing outside of the box creation. Who ever owns this next is one lucky sob.

This thing is so sick. I love the rawness of the “body” and the extreme craftsmanship of the chassis.

This build hits every single note of the greatest model A I could imagine in my head. It’s absolutely amazing. Whoever is the next owner of this, is incredibly lucky.

That grille design is so rad... I'm not a hot rod person, but I've always loved this build. Nice work Mike

Its crazy when you say out loud how "long ago" some things were. The AN line vid. How long the car was sitting, etc. Doesnt feel that long but makes us realise how long we have been following you. Thanks for all the great times for a long time

This is the best most educational car building/fabricating channel on the internet. It's like if Bob Vila and Gas Monkey Garage had a baby. Imagine not needing to look out for the next person, but then turning that process into content. Not just any content so far as I know this is the only channel custom fabricating Fords, Ferraris (with Japanese Motors), BMWs & Audis. No other channel varies builds like this in an easy to follow ,educational ,yet entertaining format.

I learn so much about gas cars watching this

You definitely should replace the foam in your fuel cells once a year. If f you leave it in there too long and it starts to break down, your whole fuel system will need to be replaced. Replacement foam is much cheaper than everything downstream. A fuel filter will not catch all of it, and the tiny parts that still make it through can clog your fuel injectors.

I built PTFE oil cooler lines following your old how to video, they’ve held up great. One pro tip is to only put angled fittings on one end of any given line, because the clocking of the fittings is hard to control when you build them

Looks cool. Might want a grommet where the positive battery cable goes through.

Glad to finally see this again. This is also why I came to this channel…. So creative and BAD ASS!

The wheels on this thing have got to be my favorite part 👏

YEAHHH BABY MODEL A CONTENT WOOOO

at 7:58 it appears that you don't have any grommets on the holes for the main battery cables as they pass through the firewall? That's a very quick way to blow up a lithium battery and cause a pretty nasty fire! The rest of the build is awesome, but having had friends whose cars have burnt to the ground due to electrical fires caused by similar, I just wanted to point it out to you, Mike, in case it's a genuine oversight... :)

that positive cabe with no grommet… wild, it will rub thru

@stanceworks

It has a grommet it just slid down the wire and needs to be popped in place.

What a beast. Mike I can't say it enough the quality of your builds AND videos are top notch.

I honestly laughed out loud when you said the temp. I live on the east coast, Massachusetts, and today it is 51 degrees and people are jogging in t shirts with their dogs , im outside in shorts with my dog lol, 60 is a very warm day, and 70 is downright hot, when it reaches anywhere near 80, people hide in their cars and homes out this way. It’s interesting how different people get climatized to different parts of the planet. Tangent over, love your channel.

Sonically cleaning the injectors was a good move. Even if made for E85, they will rust or otherwise clog up if not used regularly.

Whole build looks stunning. I love that focus on details. Great job tbh

Your music is always really cool but I especially loved the tracks for this video! Good to see the progress moving along, I really can't wait to see what project is next in the pipeline!

I can't even express how badly I want this car.

I also have one of those 4.5lbs 680cca Antigravity bateries in my e34 and it's been pretty awesome. I put it in another car with an electrical drain and it killed it dead flat, still going strong after a recharge with one of the chargers Antigravity recommends.

Great car and love seeing how you bring things back to life. My wife even commented saying the production of the video is brilliant. Can’t believe there was no mention of the lotus Carlton you snuck in at the beginning though!

Something to check out for hard to bleed cooling systems is a radkit. Snap on and blue point make them. It pulls a vacuum on the whole system and then fills it. Super quick, checks system integrity and minimal farting around with bleeding after.

Wow - that's an awesome sound!

Fantastic video as always

You only got a like and comment because we saw a whole lot of your beautiful dog in this episode!!! Love your work Mike, keep them coming!!!

Definitely my favorite car, and the one made me start to follow this channel. I even made an rc car inspired by it, hope you'll keep it.

Sweet Truck, to bad you can’t keep every project, I’m sure the next caretaker will appreciate the effort put into this badass truck !

Love the music and artistic style!

fantastic work again, it has an unmistakeable look. I think a welded cap with the stanceworks logo would look great on each of the front rectangular beams ! (or S and W on each!)

That sounds just stunning.

"Bumping and skewing". Phrase of the day. Yes, that slatted grill shell is right on.

Half mad scientist half marketing genius. This guy is a machine

The front grill is such a master piece!!

GODDAMN I love this thing!!! Blowing out the damn microphone on that cold start at the end hahaha

HOLY CRAP! That was a Lotus Carlton! There NEEDS to be a video on that!!

Man this is so cool. I can’t look away.

a love that grill! what a apocaliptic machin! its sick!

Excellent Back in action

Oh man this episode felt like a long time coming. Had me wondering what happend with the projects since I haven't seen a post lately. Will add though what a great way to start my day

You need to change the pass through for your battery cables. They need to have a grommet on them. This is a fire waiting to happen.

Awesome!

That is a wicked ride!❤🎉🎉

Wow awesome!!!!

Love it that thing just sounds incredible such an angry beast

The. Sound. Of. That. Engine. 😍

Boss this isn't a hot rod... its an orgasm! You are a master builder and inspiration.

like to see a grille set up over rear bed and a small winglet off top of theradiator fan.. it looks awesome but subtle additions make the reat look finihed like the bonnet.. best channel ever

Corosivity and explosivity? Love you Mike, no need to church it up, Bud 😂

Nice to see & hear this beast alive again. Which Antigravity battery are you using? Great soundtrack in this episode btw

Thank you for the tutorial on E85. I never want to use it if it’s corrosive.

Crazy nice!!!!

God I love this thing. Don’t think I’d fit, but I love it.

Very cool!!!!! 🤜🤛

That grille is awesome.

I remember when I worked in ALMS and the corvette team were the first team to test E85. It melted their whole fuel system. Thankfully they were the Guinea pigs and we didn’t have to deal with that mess.

Kinda glad I can't get E85 in Canada, forces you build something that works with 91 pump even though I know E85 would be easier

If you havin' car problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but some hose ain't one! I'll pack my things.

Lol. Funniest comment here😂

awesome ride and work like always. that positive cable for the battery touching that metal scares me... doesnt take much to wear through that outer part of the cable.

Some time it is an idea to have pipes ore hard line on most of the system

Did you mount the rear brake line fitting and hoses on the bottom of the chassis member, on a car that low?

Love it!

Kickass.

PTFE is the right answer where neglect is expected.

Cool looking thing. Its crazy that you can legally drive this on the roads over there, in most other countries it would be miles off being road legal. I'll never get to build a hot rod I can use

Isn't mounting the brake lines on the cross member a mistake? Won't they get wiped off over the first speed bump?

Great looking car, the sound is amazing, chassis rails need blocking off.

Very awesome 😎

Damn good background music!

Question - aren't you concerned with the zip ties dry rotting? That said, I love the channel - your work, your personality and your willingness to let us come along for each project. You rock!

AWSOME 😎

You Need to bring that Beast to Sunday Steel. ❤️🚙👍

that grille is boss!! whould be awesome if it was servo activated by heat to open amd close

"Hose management" sounds like a comment made at the yearly player's club get together😂

I can feel and smell the fuel cell fun.

Best craigslist ad ever.

The video that was long overdue. Finally.

Are the grille louvers cabke actuated from the driver's seat, or is it pretty much set-and-forget? The thumbnail looks cool with the lights hidden, but also looks like a short throw, especially for the speeds of which this Model A is capable.

Cool car. As others have said Ethanol can have a reaction/be corrosive to certain materials. Is that a Lotus Omega in the beginning of the video?

The acceleration on this thing must be incredible

Will there beva follow up video on running and driving the rebuilt version ??

Babe!!! Grab the popcorn!! Stanceworks uploaded a video!!!

It's not that hard to bend hard fuel/oil lines. Keep this in mind for future projects. That's a lot of braided line to replace...but i get it, just trying to wrap it up.

I went out of my way to... Making sure there was oil... Like... Duh! Those louvres are a great idea. especially if they were thermostat controlled, oversized radiator would work well with that.
