GQ Chop 2 - FABRICATING a REAR WALL from SCRATCH
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- After several years of abuse on the beach & in the bush, the GQ Patrol is full of rust & covered in dents. After my recent trip to Cape York, I told myself I would send it one last time through the $1000 Track as a wagon & then it would be time to chop it into an extra cab ute & rebuild it fresh & ready for it's next life.

looking super tidy. keen to hear about the engineering process, something the big shows don’t talk about!!
Yeah well I’ll involve it in the vids 👌🏻
good to see you boys demonstating the use of safety squints 🤣🤣🤣
Ahaha 🫣
That montage made me laugh haha
Me burning myself? 😂
Coil-boy chop shop - looking well awesome, going to be a great finished product. Loving the episodes and editing style, no fancy stuff and all done is a good Aussie shed.
That’s the idea dude, just backyard trial and error. 🤷🏻♂️😂
A Haircut and a chop ...not a bad week buddy ..good work on the chop ..the haircut is another story 😄
Ahahaha come on mate 😝
I'm glad I'm not the only one using bush ppe
Ahaha safety first mate.
Thought that myself. Loved the use of the sleeve as a welding glove.
*engages safety squints*
@@JG-sp1xt if you can't see the hazard, the hazard can't see you
75 series cruiser ute back windows are not to big and ugly like some ute chops use and can always get a replacement on hand and they are just a std push in seal type.
I actually ended up going with a custom one which will be in the next ep 🙏
5:43 so starts the best montage I've ever seen of somebody squinting.
Safety squints ftw
Safety first mate, looking away is safer than glasses
What a shed mate!
Not mine unfortunately haha, it’s a mates that’s helping out 🙏🙏
Hey mate not far off doing my own chop how many metres of each piece of steel did you use roughly
Haha man no idea, bitta 50x50, bitta 100x50, bitta 25x50, bitta zinc sheet, not including the tray. just grab some and start cutting 🤙🏻
Love the work mate 👌 jump on cause old mate harry said ya a half decent guy ahahahha,
Appreciate you mate thanks for stopping by 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just started watching, guess I have a few to watch, looks good so far
Awesome mate! Enjoy! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome job! cheers
Good onya mate for giving the chop a crack. Just wondering if welding on the zink sheet is burning it producing the gass that gives u zink poising?
Dunno, how long does it take to kick in? I’ll sing out if I wind up in hospital, I think the material is called Zinc Eneal? Maybe the wrong spelling but something like that, not Zinc Allume
@@timmyhasheart Zinc Allume is zinc coated allluminium. I don't know if what you are using is called the same here but in NZ it was called electro galv. It is much nicer to weld than galv sheet and offers good rust protection over normal panel steel. The zinc does add a bit of heat as it burns off but nothing too serious. It is the galv that causes a lot of the sparks when you are welding. You are not doing enough welding to suffer from zinc poisoning but if you are doing lots of galv pipe welding then it can be an issue. Symptoms are you will feel nauseous and unwell. Quickly run a flappy disk along the edge to take some of the surface electro galv off and it will weld a bit nicer. Used to find 0.8 wire was best. Welder sounds nice.👍
This is rad. Where did ya buy the steel? Nubco?
Ahh so if I need anything more than 4 metres I’ll go to an actual steel yard that sells lengths. But if I only need a metre or two I’ll go to nubco or Bunnings yeah, it’s so much more expensive though.
Very interesting seeing how it's all done!
You obviously know what you're doing 😜
Good onya for having the balls to have a go 👍
Watching out for updates 👌
I’m glad it looks that way but absolutely not, just winging it mate haha.
Loving the build, even down to the measurements you’ve used and taken.
But fuck vic bro, might just cut my shit in half! 😂
Cheers mate 🙏
Madd
Enjoyed the video.
Really liked seeing the work and planning as well as the intelligence that went into fabricating the parts
Appreciate it mate, I honestly am not that savvy with fabrication but just yeah talked it all through with a mate that’s a fabby and went with the flow thanks heaps 🤙🏻
😎🚙
Keep it up make can’t wait to see that on the tracks looking great as a ute
Oooft I love hearing people call it a Ute 🤣
This is great mate! Loving it!!
Awesome!! Thanks man!
...looks like the grinder flicked some steel into your nose and lip..ouch!
Haha turn it up
Super keen to see how this turns out, can’t wait to do it to my patrol!
I’m keen to see how it turns out too aha 😅
Looks awesome dude - another guy did similar and used a 79 series rear window - dunno if sorts what you need
Yeah I was gonna go down the route of using an existing rear window but in the end just made a custom shape to get made up 👌🏻
Old mate should have some glasses on when tacking and holding things. The spatter can burn through your eye lids just closing them. Great work mate, clever buggers.
Cheers mate! Ahaha ahh well safety squints never let me down
@@timmyhasheart me either however if you keep rolling the duce eventually you get a 6 🤣
Builds coming along well Tim, looks good😎👍 Your doing well with the editing aswell.
Thanks heaps mate appreciated!!

Awesome job so far mate. By chance, did you happen to weigh it before hand to do a comparison?
Na I didn’t, it’s a good idea though I should have done..
Hindsight is a wonderful thing aye 😂 you wouldn’t happen to be from the north west coast of Tassie would you?
Na dude, I am from Tassie but from Launceston
Ah right oh. Pretty sure I’ve seen you at Bellingham. And I think I’ve seen your old navara up this way is why I was asking
Yeah it sold to a fella up there
Drew’s the type of mate I wish I had lol
I’m glad someone brought it up tbh, he’s a fucking unit and we’ve done a lot of work together on both mine & his cars. Super lucky man 👌🏻
@@timmyhasheart good to hear man it’s hard to find someone like him btw man good job with the rig
This is fuckin cool
Cheers mate! 🙏
wicked ! 🛻📹😎🤙
