Hoonigan's Rolls Royce with a roll cage (and a few other mods)

[89AKurt]

Something different, taking a Rolls Royce and hot rodding it.  I'm looking at how the tube cage and other parts are being fabricated and fit together, just like a kit-bash project.

They’re 4 videos in on that build, here’s the 1st, 2nd, and 4th.

I even remember that original Rolls drift build from years ago on TV that is the jumping off point in the 1st video!  I looked on YouTube, but there doesn’t appear to be any footage from that show on there.

I'm looking forward to this build and to get it on the road or track! Being in the UK (Rolls Royce) and having followed most of Ken's stuff this should another great project!

I’ve been watching this too, having watched the build with them and Andrew Comrie-Picard on Car Saviors, I want to see how this finishes.  Not sure how many Hert will be in going forward though, his Mom is hospitalized on the east coast after a brain aneurysm hit her.  She’s awake and capable of using a phone to take a pic of him with the Thanksgiving dinner he snuck in for her, too.

? Real family first, fans sending positive vibes.....

I would have thought more planning goes into such a build, but it's like me, oh shoot, need to stuff this somewhere.  Look at those stacked dimes.

I like the stuff those Hoonigan guys make, but I can never make it through a whole video of theirs.  It’s like they all drank too many energy drinks and they’re excited that someone’s filming them…and then when they edit the video it’s so jittery and weirdly-edited that I can’t sit through an entire one.

Maybe that’s how you keep people’s attention on YouTube or something - and I guess it works for them ?‍♂️

I blame MTV for the drunken cameraman style.  I was learned to pan slowly, not spaz swing the camera around like a dancer.  The micro-editing is a bit annoying, but saves time.  So I've been trained (conditioned, brainwashed) to get bored of lectures and tune out.  I've been enjoying Russell Brand, despite his exaggerated arm waving, he micro-edits like crazy.

I have neglected my topic, and I think it's because they haven't published more WIP.  (didn't verify)   Anyway, they are done.  Great work, but see if the front bumper end looks turned up and not level.  I would have done walnut for the dash, whatever they used looks like sandblasted pine stained black.

Yes I've seen Shane's on TV here in the UK a few times.
