Hello, I’ve been a YT subscriber for about three years and I enjoy the content, just wanted to share a video link YT recommended for me and say that the Drift Rod is in the footage @ 1:54. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0czgpm1JT_c
Hi Mat, really enjoying you youtube stuff. I find your format or style very watchable. I have an abundance of gloves in my garage up a height stored in boxes that I’ve aquired over the years as I work at Caterpillar AT Trucks Peterlee as a mechanical fitter/ asembly op. I can post you some If you’d have use for them. May save you a few quid here and there. Cheers Paul.
Hi Mate , I’d just like to say how much I enjoy your videos on YouTube . The detail you put in to your builds is excellent. I don’t know how I stumbled across your videos but I’m glad I did . As a mechanical engineer I can really appreciate the work you do . Keep up the good work mate .
Dear Matt,love the progress your making,the body and chassis now seem more as one now that they are shot blasted and primed.Love to see you talk on your plans for the rest of the build eg are you going to spray the bulkhead and under bonnet to a glossy shine and what about the underneath ,how do you think you’ll finish this ,underseal etc.Glad to see your subscribers are getting bigger.Id never be bored watching you do the opposite side video as I still think it’s relevant to the overall build.The context is still great.How about a workshop tour for the new year showing all your metal folders and tools and what you think size wise is needed or required to work on your average car rebuild.Also when deciding on the body chassis swap what would you measure or be more concerned with,the wheelbase being the same or near enough or the track and would you also measure the inner sill widths to access if a project was viable,what’s your view on shortening a floor pan to suit the body your considering swapping ,would you rather keep the strength and integrity of the donor chassis,just something I’d love to hear you talk about.If you were building your car for the road would it retain the Chassis donors number plates and be classed as a body swap or how would you have had to go about registering it for the road.Thanks Graham
Hi Mat, I’ve been following for a couple of years (at least) and really enjoy the content and style you produce. I’m a home fab guy and have learned loads from your posts. We build Hotrods way down here in New Zealand too (besides playing Rugby). I am having trouble finding the merch site though…. Where can I purchase some stuff?
Much appreciated. New Zealand looks awesome, have always wanted to visit. If you click the merchandise tab at the top of my website then click the images in the post it will take you to a secure site to buy something. Cheers, Matt
Hi Matt, as a fellow welder / fabricator I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you construct the beavertail body for the Transit, (when ever you did that) a joy to watch and see the amount of thought and detail you put into the job 10/10 top man. It’s a refreshing change to see somebody doing the job properly. Out of interest what do you race and where roughly are you based ?
Hi Matt
I recently purchased a new welder from IF and used your discount code. Saved me nearly £60 ! so thank you very much for that . I’ve left some merch from my channel for you at IF as a thank you. Pick it up next time your in there.
Thanks again

Master Matt,
Trying to restore a hard to find motorcycle gas tank. Stud welder is working well to pull dents but I occasionally create a hole when the pins are removed. Watched your “filling holes with the mig” but it’s very challenging with the super thin metal. I just bought a Tig welder and once I’m comfortable may try that route. What’s your option? There are zero good videos regarding this on YouTube. It would be awesome to see you do one with an occasional “fart” in the background. Best, Robert

Hi Paul, that would be handy I go through gloves pretty quick.
Cheers Matt.

Hi Graham, some great ideas there I will try to cover some of that in some future videos. Cheers Matt.

Some of the best videos on YouTube by far. Matt gets it and understands communication.
Cheers mate.

Cheers mate, based in Dorset. Not racing much currently but hoping to one day.
