Bailey Blade Car Design / Building the body buck adding foam core - Part 2

[Scorpion85629]

I like this wood and foam process it would last many years and uses for mold building.

[rfarleyd80]

very good your work is inspiring for anyone working in this business, was looking over fiber techniques and I found your videos and spent the night watching and watched all, congratulations, I took some tecnincas I lacked for a service I have to do in the fiber my car, thank you.

[riltjd]

what would happen if you would crash the car? are you going to make spare parts? or will you have to make it all over again?

[BaileyBlade]

@riltjd Just to clarify, what I am building is whats called a body buck. I will use this to produce full production body panels. After that I will be able to produce any body part as many times as needed.

[riltjd]

Nice! seems like you thought this over well! haha

[17hondaracing2K11]

"its a car" that is not a car its foam on wheels! build sumffink that u car drive and that is quick not good looking!

[BaileyBlade]

@17hondaracing2K11 You should watch the rest of the 66 video I have made on this to understand what is going on.

[dslynx]

@BaileyBlade Right.. nothing like commenting on a video from 2008! Cause clicking on your channel and seeing current stuff is just to much work..

[legoclockfreak710]

@17hondaracing2K11 thats just the mold for the body!

[djnevous3us]

GOOD WORK

[h23sirlude]

where can i see the original version? Subscribed

[BaileyBlade]

@h23sirlude Do you mean the first design or the latest version? Its not finished yet I am still working on it. You can check FaceBook for the latest updates. 

[Tantalo96]

Looks easy but i know its not. how long did it take to make it? is it really hard to do this.

[tturi2]

how many mistakes did you make while making this?

[BaileyBlade]

@tturi2 Not sure I understand you comment. At this point there were not any mistakes to make. Watch the other rest of the videos. 63 so far. 

[bgjnat56]

dude if you finish that..... you are CAR JESUS

[TheMoreiraJoao]

can you drive this outside without get any troubles?

[airsoftslayer66]

where did you get your motivation to do this ?? lol that must be hard to make .

[domandnick]

Lay off the meth, great video. Keep it up

[signevent]

how long did it take to finish???

[thebestifacation]

whats the point of this?

[BaileyBlade]

@thebestifacation Umm you need to watch the other 49 videos... I'm building a car from scratch.

[idleprechaun]

@BaileyBlade HAHAHAHHAA love this response

[wendelbai]

@thebestifacation why you watched this video.? 

[eriko5791]

Hey, is that polyurethane foam or polystyrene foam? I want to make a buck for a mold for a concept car, and I've always heard that you need polyurethane foam, but I don't know where to get it.

[BaileyBlade]

@eriko5791 The foam we used is a polystyrene version that is for home insulation. Its denser than most and easy to cut and sand. You can use either foam types. The issue with polystyrene is that it will melt when you add body filler or resin from fiberglassing. I you look the the rest of my videos you will see that we cover all the foam with an aluminum tape to keep it from melting.

[weldonlee1]

thanks for posting! Lee and i noticed someone asked where you got the foam? The foam is available from composites one but i will tell you it is expensive! Lee

[weldonlee1]

thanks for posting! Lee

[chickenpoper]

Where do the insides go? lol And how do you get to the inside parts(engine) since the foam and wood are obstructing the front part.

[BaileyBlade]

@chickenpoper Well this is video number 2 out of 50 videos I have up. You may want to watch the rest to see what happens after this stage. But in short it all gets removed, and this is whats called a body buck from which molds will be taken from.

[vasprap]

@BaileyBlade good job..but i have a question are those materials strong enough ???

[iskdude57]

Kudos Big Time!!!!!

[gurlsingerfan]

Your like a bee working in the hive! and not one stop for a trip to the fridge to get a beer...that's what slows me up! :- Love your series by the way :-)

[nfspros]

where did you buy the foam?

[Kafrotox]

Bailey I agree with itachi12789's question. How did you cut these wooden forms? did you use a CNC machine?

[BaileyBlade]

@Kafrotox See Part 23 in the video series...

[itachi12789]

How do you get the wooden forms or fish bone

[BaileyBlade]

@itachi12789 See Part 23 in the video series. 

[R2PKompressoR]

were u snorting lines @ 1:02?

[RecoveryTTA]

Thats fantastic work, i agree with zazoo

[TheRealFobican]

Someone make a can can remix of this....

[DarkWinterRex]

2:44 - 2:55.Its like Superman tidying up things.

[E7Psalmsoftheplanets]

Looks like a platform from a Eunos Roadster! (Miata) very impressive!

[earthwindwaterjunky]

Amazing!

[idleprechaun]

"recessed hoes......holes" lol

[Treazurer]

wish i could do that to my wife

[JekHawkins]

Maybe it's just that time of night, but the sound had me DYING of lol!

[micar8]

Hello. My name is Micael, I am a designer, if youre interested parties in another model extracts, ill be with all pleasure to his disposition of them helping as for the design and aesthetics of the car, from already I am grateful for them and if are interested parties can contact me to e-mail: mikael_v12@hot .. a greeting and thanks ..!sorry for my bad english haha...

[1kingdale]

amazing man !!

[rallyNEO]

it's ROBOT  :)

[S1KRYD]

I have done the same thing but instead of using foam I used clay. Check out my vidios. Clay is better to work with and makes it easyer to come up with a new shape. The mothod you show here looks hard with no room for change once you have set yourself up.

[Gwin62989]

wow this looks like a bietch...

[XODaMAg3OX]

good fucking job man keep everything up, get into car design or something

[kkdoomsday22]

this guy has to much time on his hands =D

[bobbobmarley27]

wow...ur awesome dude

[Hicham66Hicham]

fantastic

[Huizar666]

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH !

Grosso !

[biiko4me]

Where do you get the sculpting foam from?

[ilovemusiciBRASIL]

AWESOME!!!!

REALY GOOD!!!

KEEP IT UP , GOOD LUKE!!!

hugs from BRAZIL!!!

[mrcoolman68]

freez at 0:56 he was drinking



[tecnocato]

Love the sound. How did you manage to keep the sound at normal pitch while speeding it up?

[BaileyBlade]

@tecnocato LOL yeah thats my favorite part. Actually its pretty simple, the program just does it for me when i compress the timeline. Guess its a part of Sony Vegas.

[DanFrederiksen]

@tecnocato I remarked that too. I figure it does it by chopping the sound maybe 15 times per second. that gives it a slight propeller sound but works fine

[zazoolious]

IF CAR COMPANIES ACTUALLY HIRED REAL CAR GUYS LIKE THESE INSTEAD OF SOMEONE WITH A DEGREE AND NO LOVE FOR CARS, WE'D HAVE BEAUTIFUL CARS ALL THE TIME

[BaileyBlade]

@zazoolious Thanks for the great comment, its comments like these that keep us going.

[glues4wood]

@zazoolious you are so absolutely right @ BailyBlade that's pretty damn impressive only seen 2 vids and I am blown away at the craftsmanship I see you also use 3d max I have this also but am not very good at using surfaces I have tried cars and failed but I am gonna keep watching GREAT WORK !

[Diinossaulo]

@zazoolious Totally agreed.

[dibnah46]

great videos guys iv just discovered this project so have been watching them all. just a quick question. i am thinking if starting a replica project on my motorcycle and will need to make my own fairings. do you think this process of wood and foam will work on a smaller scale for a bike?once again great vids with some very helpful tips!!

[BaileyBlade]

@dibnah46 Thanks, Yeah i think you could do this same process for a motorcycle. It should be pretty simple. Just make sure you have a good frame for starting. And make sure you watch the rest of the videos to see all the tips and tricks that i learned. Its a serious process to go though.

[dibnah46]

@BaileyBlade thanks ive watched this thing take shape and its looking great keep up the good work!!

[betzivu2000]

nice work but u could put a song in the video too :P

[fastestludeever]

amazing.. if i could figure out this new youtube i would give u 5 stars!

[billiambarnett]

Holy piss u move fast!

[MrSeanrlegend]

how did you make the wood frame to put the foam in? if someone knows pleas pm me

[BaileyBlade]

Check out all my videos on my channel I cover this a few times and have a tutorial on it.

[lioxait]

as basic model it was mazada mx 5?

[BaileyBlade]

No just using the glass from a MX 5.

[lioxait]

@BaileyBlade wow i have an eagle eye, aniway you doing very nice job, wish i could have garage like that :))

[nutzw1]

did he died?

[BaileyBlade]

No one died in the making of these videos.

[sebairaf3]

are that sheets wood?

[BaileyBlade]

¼ inch MDF wood

[sebairaf3]

what kind of foam?

[greygizmo]

that is extruded polystyrene

[wavefiat]

i guest that's styro foam

[inagod]

this is what its all about,get out and do something,live and learn,great job.

[bradfordaldenadams]

I just have to say I had no idea that people where out there trying to do what you are doing, I would like to help if you need it. I don't know if you can email me or not? I have just never tried on youtube to contact any one. I own a welding company and not real busy and have tons of equipment! Good job and keep the ideas going

[BaileyBlade]

Hey thanks for the comment, where are you located? Down the road a little we will need shops to weld parts for us.

[mnemonic801]

hello there, for first conglatulation for the great job u guys are doing. I have a question, what kind of foam u have used? foam for thermic isolation used for building? is it in polyester? opened cell or closed cell? Im asking just to understand of what kind of product i have to look for.. thanks

[BaileyBlade]

The foam we used is bulk quantities of foamular 150 closed cell (extruded polystyrene), its cheap bought in large quantities and comes in various thicknesses which make it easy to work with. You can and also get it in large 6x20 sizes as well but hard to work with and heavy.

[formula1herb]

How did you guys get the templates designed? I'm trying to see how I could use a similar technique to design a wind turbine blade.

[BaileyBlade]

I thin i will be making a video on this shortly. Stay tuned...

[wtdesign]

Its fun to watch you zip around. :)

[0giba0]

Never Mind got my answer but is this balsa wood? or just plywood

[BaileyBlade]

We used ¼ inch MDF wood.

[0giba0]

What kind of foam is this? can I get a reference URL or price per cubic feet

[darkking198522]

im a artist..and i have alot of crazy ideas for car designs in my head. i dont have the money to unload all this information from my brain.....sssooo i was just wondering around how much does it cost to do a project like this??

[BaileyBlade]

@darkking198522 It depends on several things but in general if you are looking at doing a one off car using a donor then it can be done for as little as $30K or less. If you are looking at starting a company building and selling kits then you would be looking at $100K $200K startup. And if you are looking at building a true production car then figure around $500K - $3Mil and this is where we fall. Our car is not a one off custom and not a Kit Car, it will be a limited production car.

[darkking198522]

@BaileyBlade ....WOW up to $3million.....................­DAMN.!!!!!!!!! what if u finished your 1st car but without the headlights, windows,etc....have just the body, and make some kinda mold so u could do another car, then finish both completly and sell the cars for a reasonable price so you'll have enough money to build 4 of them with money left 4 yourself..????? then once you get far enough ahead u could start on different and more advanced design with a higher price.....

[BaileyBlade]

@darkking198522 Well Im not saying the car would cost $3mill but thats what it takes for tooling, machines, materials, facilities and employees. Its not cheap to make a production car, but like I said if you wanted to do a few one off cars it can be done for as little as $30K or less.

[darkking198522]

@BaileyBlade ...i didnt think about all that....

[MidShipCivic]

What is this pink foam you're using?

[knap83]

not sure but i think i isolation foam

:P

[BaileyBlade]

Your are correct!!!... the pink foam came straight from our local Home Depot. Its 1 inch think and comes in 4x8 panels. For what we did its perfect. Also just a little side note its fire resistant, so it gives you a little sense of security if you need to weld in metal supports while surrounded by foam. Some foams like pour foam and expanding foam are HIGHLY FLAMABLE. I mean Think Napalm.

[ewfire]

what kind of foam and wood did you use. I also have a design that i would like to make. how do you decide how far apart the wood sections are? thanks!

[chunkymonkeyable]

how do u learn how to do this..

[inagod]

go eat before you pass out,great job

[cabdolla]

Please don't paint your car that ugly color like in the picture. It would be a shame. :*(

[BaileyBlade]

What you don't like Red?

[JaNormalan]

AHHH that sound is just killing me!!!

btw super project, keep going

[rtan188]

I am amazed. keep up the good work. i will keep on watching your video.

[666snwprelyT]

not exactly safe if you get into an accident

[BaileyBlade]

Umm I hope youre kidding What I am building is called a Body Buck from which we will make the final body molds from. Watch the rest of the videos to see how the process goes.

[Mufler55]

im loling !

[brinedase]

is this really the best way? cant wait to see the end result!

[maizenas1520]

how u desin the body u have a program or something

[MMApolish]

good work man I like it, keep doing well Im interested how it will looks at the end

[hardnor]

no offense dude, but for so much time you will spend on this - i would have hired a better designer in the first place. The 3d renderings look like mazda/cobra.

[maxred1]

Hi, I wonder how will be the finish? fiber glass?

will make another video showing how it was?

Congratulations for the work.

Leo Brazil

[joness105639]

honda s 2000 based?

[brownskidmarks]

wow you work really really fast..... slow down dood, obvious your not paid by the hour...lol good video

[Markitos203]

can you put behind your comment and appreciate a mans job??? post a video of something like that your self...

[hqbeamer]

looks almost like an s2000 and i like them!!

[crx1678]

The exact same thought as me!

[volksman2275]

Can't wait to see the finished car.

Looks like it's going to be bad ass!

[A10BRY]

have a break. have a Kit-Kat

[xPETEY23x]

wow... really good, where did u get the center body from?

[BaileyBlade]

@xPETEY23x There is no center body here... its on a custom chassis and the doors and windshield are from a MX5.

[redghost105]

@BaileyBlade what 3d modeling software did you use?
