Nice event! Some very cool cars there.
How would it to be to replicate some of those cars and race them with out helmets ?
Just finding your videos can't wait to eventually try to make some fiberglass parts for my 4000lb tank of a track car 😅
Hi Bill 👋 The soundtrack is very, ummm... creative 😁My first club level lap dash ever was at Catalina in 1994 (30 yrs 🙄) I had a Datto 1600 with a best of 81.58. It was a very scary track with virtually no run off areas. Especially for a NOOB.
Lookin' GOOD, Bill!
Hello bill, what density mat are you using and how many layers? I counted 3 layers, how thick would that make the cured plug? Great tutorials by the way, about to start a plug of a custom rear bar for my drift car and the 3 part series you have on this bumper has taught me alot
What country are you in?
How thick is the steel square tubing ? 2mm ?
Yes
The Gurney Bubble 😁 you've got a bit more than GT40 inches Bill 🤣
100% !
at 7.48 it notes Bill Patterson but I believe it is Kevin Neale
Yes Bill, I bought your book, covered it with clear contact and have to agree with all you’ve said. I’m mostly interested in the NSW locations . I now know Ron Tauranac and I have one place in common. It’s a great resource for anyone interested in Australian Motorsport history. Thanks for your videos too. Fascinating stuff. Cheers.
Winch on the bender! Haha love it. Real 'hold my beer' moment
Why not use the original frame? You could shorten it and fret out the excess bits.
There is no frame in the donor Corolla - it is uni-body construction. Cutting that to fit my needs would take more time than building a space frame chassis. It would be incredibly ugly, have sharp edges all over the place, and be way heavier than my tube frame. It's floor would have an unwanted tunnel going right down the middle of it where the driver now needs to sit.
Great video, it seems SO Easy for you to design and create something out of nothing, per say. You sure make it look easy. I have a Corvette body that I have cut in half, I need to add 4" to the width, do you have a video showing anything like this? Just wanted to check with a pro first. Thanks, GREAT WORK and thanks for sharing!!!!
G'day Randy. No - I don't have a video showing widening a fiberglass body - probably because you can't properly just cut & re-join fiberglass, as it doesn't stick well to itself. It relies on the overlap of the fibers for its strength, and you don't get that intertwining with cut & join. It will hold initially - but soon crack & separate. Epoxy resin instead of the usual polyester resin will give a slightly strong bond, along with holes drilled between the two parts to allow the resin to lock in. But you end up with a heavy job, and it will still crack anyway. The only way to do this is to cut & widen your body & use it as a plug/die on which to make a multi-piece flanged mold of the whole car. Big job - but the copy out of those molds will be strong, and uniformly thick. I know you didn't want to hear that... but you don't want to put the time and money into cut & join, and then having it all fail.
@@BillsBuildandRace thank you SO MUCH!!! This is why I ask a professional, and I greatly appreciate your wisdom and reply. I was just hoping to fill in the thickness of the void, then overlap the "top and bottom" some 10 inches both sides for the strength and bond-per say.... but, if that will fail, it is not something I want to do. Thanks!!!
I must admit bill, i love watching your work, its reminds me of my very knowledgeable grand father! Any advice as to getting wattyl 7008 in Australia? However i have found other 2 pak polyurethane which should be okay.
Bunnings don't sell Wattle products, but Mitre Ten do. However the best place to get fresh stock of 7008 is at Wattle stores, or if you can't find one near you look for a paint shop.
Ah the world of building stuff. Keeps a mans brain young
Thanks Bill!
Great to see a new episode and progress on this build
looking really good! cheers from Texas !
Nice work!
Bring back the good old days
I love the use of the duct tape! And the winch bender is awesome!
Bill, old trick to bend tubing without kinking was to fill the tube with sand and weld both ends shut, then bend on tubing bender. after cut caps off and empty sand out.
Yes I actually tried that after my hydraulic bender was kinking the pipe. It made no difference whatsoever.
Just finished watching your 6 part video series showing how to sculpt custom car bodywork. I was just curious if aluminum honeycomb panels could be used to achieve the same affect? I do realize with multiple compound curves, that it might not be even feasible. Especially since aluminum panels are rigidly flat, one of the more desirable aspects of them. However, they would be significantly stronger without adding an abundance of weight. They would weigh more than basically anything in fiberglass but still less than anything in steel or even tin. Thanks for any advice, or opinions.
TRying to make a compound curved shape out of rigid paneling would be impossible. With alumininium honeycomb panels there is the additional problem that the nylon inner core is highly flammable... think of those terrible hi-rise building fires where the cladding caught fire! For that reason they are not even suitable in race cars for flat panels like floors - but of course I've seen a number of race car builders using them because they are unaware of how dangerous they are. Once they catch fire you cannot put them out.
Great to see progress on this build
Bill you really need to get yourself a cheap Lathe that way you can machine parts to adapt any thing to every thing. As a retired Machinests even now I'm on the machines daily and I would be able to count the things I've made for race cars .cheers
At 75 and only on a pension I can neither afford to buy significant new machinery or have the patience to learn such a comprehensive new skill. I will learn how to use a lathe, if you will learn how to work with composites and sculpting race car bodies..... hahaha.
looking good for 75 bill! Its never to late to get started on a lathe they are pretty useful even without much/any training.
Very cool project, hopefully you will get away with the bending loads on that damper rod since it is so light as you say.
Yes, I definitely have my fingers crossed until I make the last bend!
That tube bender hack is genius 👍
What's with all the blank space at the?

Some great footage there, thanks ! Love the Zephyr special a truly amazing build and a sound to match.
How about putting a mirror inside the trap,he thinks his reflection is another crow in his territory
I was thinking about this today, and I could not get my head around it. Thank you for the explanation Bill, you're legend mate!!!
I prefer an open center car trailer for when I need to work on the vehicle in the pits. (In my case, a sled pulling truck)
Great footage. bill patterson turned out to be a paedophile. Most of the names inherited swathes of money, just like bill. They could not have engaged in that kind of frippery without it. Most Australians were too busy working.
My HERO ever man needs a wife like this
Nice work just subscribed - Cheers
Good day Sir.. I am late to this party but I want to thank you for sharing this information.. It is very useful to me... I really like your vid's and your choice of music is excellent, You do a really nice production... I'm your new Fan... I sincerely thank you for this entertainment and knowledge...
Awesome video! Thank you for posting.👍😎
I’m ordering a copy…. Just viewed you video on the Richmond Road airstrip and Mt Druitt circuit. Thoroughly fascinating.👍
My father taught me how to change gears on that emergency strip on Richmond Road. I had no idea it was used for racing or that it was where Ron Tauranacs’ interest in motor racing started. Thanks for posting such an interesting video. 👍
i finished making a door! what I did not think through was the added thickness when combining the two panels. makes it so I cannot use door seals or it will push the door further out. and thats with only 2 layers 3/4oz (similar to 225gsm) mat on rear skin and front skin (with added one layer carbon)
Dear sir really I love your channel.
My father would sometimes take my brother & I to Catalina in the early 60s, A friend of dads had a property that over looked the track and had about 6 chairs screwed to the roof of their chicken shed to watch the races. More great memories, thanks Bill 👍👍
You explained everything that I did wrong and lost my expensive master/plug or whatever you wanna call it. I almost gave up on fiberglass journey. Your video gave me a reason to get back and try agin. Thank you Bill.
Legend 💪🏼
Hi Bill, I do have question. Do you have any knowledge of the night time event held at Silverdale ??. It was held in either 1982 or 1983 and may well have been the only time a night event was held at the track. Thanks for posting this video, it bought back some fond memories of my days at Silverdale in the early to mid 1980s driving a few different Torana Sports Sedans up the hill. Thanks for posting the video 👍👍
I did get feedback from the son of the guy who used to install the p.a. system, and he said they also rented the lights for two or three night hillclimbs at Silverdale when he was a boy. I have no personal knowledge of them though.
@@BillsBuildandRace Thanks for the reply. I have quite a bit of knowledge about the event I mentioned. At the time I was the president of a Cams affiliated club and was the guy who was instrumental in the organisation of the event, from it's very beginning to the end. Being that is has been 40+ years ago, I have a recollection of being told it was the first night event held, the more I think about it, I am swaying towards it being in 1982.. The criteria Cams required to approve the event was high, but were able to meet all the requirements and was given the go ahead. I clearly remember that the entries were filled within a week to 10 days of invites being posted to other clubs and may have had a limit of 80 entries. The event began around mid-afternoon for practice runs with the main event starting shortly after sunset when the lighting towers were switched on. There was 3 or 4 towers located on the Hill & 2 near the start & pit paddock. It was a huge turn out with a lot of spectators and the event ran smoothly, with no incidents at all. The Cams GM (at the time) also made a unexpected appearance on the night. Unfortunately, I was the only qualified Steward in the club and could not drive that night. If you are interested, I am available to speak with you about the event if there is a way to contact you. (I have a photo from that night of car on the track. (I kept the photo because I had built the engine for it) Thanks again !! 👍
Thanks so much bill,but it makes me realize that motor racing died after 1986.Radial slicks meant no more slides,been to every Bathurst since 1972,it,s just not the same.😢
Great video Bill. Started watching your channel with your house build. Didn't know you raced then. I lived in Mount Morgan in the late 50s and remember when the roads were gravel. Went back for a visit a couple of years ago and couldn't drive up there under the speed limit even in my Prado, must be great to do it as fast as you can.
That’s cool as, thx heaps 👌
thats wicked. what motor and front end is that from?
Watch the two previous episodes. It's from my wife's excess Toyota Corolla hatch.
@@BillsBuildandRace thanks mate will do
