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

How thick is the steel square tubing ? 2mm ?

The Gurney Bubble 😁 you've got a bit more than GT40 inches Bill 🤣

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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

Very cool project, hopefully you will get away with the bending loads on that damper rod since it is so light as you say.

That tube bender hack is genius 👍

What's with all the blank space at the?

WHERE'D PART 4 GO

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 👍👍

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?
