Turning a BOXSTER Into a Vintage SUPERCAR! - Extending the Wheelbase

We're continuing Project Jigsaw this week! And we begin fabricating the brand new subframe that we need to lengthen the wheelbase of this car, and be able to fit our new V8 Engine. Come along as Tony and Ryan problem-solve the complex engineering behind this project, and take jabs at each other all along the way!

These images are a feast for the human eye. Whoever points this camera and does the editing make this channel shine like a diamond.

I love this series so much. Keep up the amazing work guys

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Thank you! 🤝🏻

[@rolexmd69]

That Jig was a excellent idea boys. Kuddos.

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Thank you! 🤝🏻

[@rydazim]

I honestly love watching you guys work and I’m picking up so much knowledge. Keep up the awesome work gents

[@AlfaRomeo156SWGTA]

Funny enough the Cayman and Boxster wheelbase is within 0,5 mm of the original Ford GT40. This makes for a very agile and turn happy car. Also the Boxster is about a foot longer then the GT40. So i'm very curious how things will go in the looks department.

I love the Kenyan 🇰🇪 wrist band you have on

[@mobiledevto]

Top shelf content.

[@SKR-wj1pg]

This is awesome 👍👍

[@tryin2figureitout]

Can’t wait to see this car complete. You guys are great. I wish I had known about you guys last year when I sold my 009 of 400 1981 924 Weissach with 7,924 miles 1 owner. I know a 924 blah but it was a special car and you guys could have made it what it needed to be.

Another really good video, this is a great series.

[@1cstabach]

Great video, love the new camera work, editing and thanks for adding mics.

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

We’re glad we made the jump to lapel mics as well! Thanks!

[@lauriedooker1031]

The pop-tart weld oven so dumb yet so genius at the same time 10:19

[@johnanderson2711]

Yea buddy

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Awesome as always

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@josephlemieux5981]

Great work guy’s

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Thank you!

[@tedroybal5231]

When you're done with the fabricated pieces, I'll take a set!!!!

[@sprezzatura8755]

Will you produce a kit based on this build so others can replicate it?

[@Sergeantgrunt]

An LS can fit in the Boxster chassis. Some cabin is lost but it can be done.

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Yeah, if we cut into the cabin we could have for the 302 as well, but we really didn’t want to sacrifice the space in the interior (and wanted the benefits of a longer wheelbase!)

[@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel]

You've heard of tom foolery , meet Ryan foolery .

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Heheheh

[@TP-3000]

I’ve often wondered about using a boxster chassis to create a 904 gts lookalike…

[@vincediesil]

Great work, and that arc droid is awesome. What does that thing cost?

[@murraymadness4674]

Moving the front wheels forward instead? That boxster rear setup is complicated.

[@charl_k]

Hey Tony, was wondering about the bracelet, do you have some connection to Kenya, (at least I think it's their flag)? I've noticed it before and was curious.

[@1one3_Racing]

So, if this a subframe, does this mean that the cars chassis is the domframe?

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@kpraz]

ww a gt40?

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

The new body for the car will be inspired by the GT40!

[@ralfwenzel4360]

can you named me your metal cutting machine...

[@cx34r]

It's pronounced "Porch".

[@jonnyrocket]

Yelling blue shirt is annoying 😂

[@plus790]

Great projects, but less schtick please. This kid can not pull it off like Supertfast Matt or This Old Tony, so just play it straight.

[@TECsta76]

i just got calling them Das Sche???
