- In this episode of the Big Block Crown build we get stuck into mounting a Sheet metal Ford 9" diff into the Crown chassis and modify the suspension layout from 3 link/Panhard rod to triangulated 4 link.
Thanks to Matt from Rogan Industries for the expertise. @roganindustries

How you mad lads don't have over a million subs is beyond me. The fact that you guys go into detail and explain the process of the job and give awesome advice to your viewers, this should be enough to get you guys over the line surely.
Keep up the good work fellas 👌
The million sub channels are edited for 10 year olds.
Likes should be 10% of views so I suspect people are not subscribing, just watching.
Al doing the proper Australian burnout in the small tractor got an immediate like!
I want the T-shirt!
I would call that a wheelie, not a burn-out
@@pashakdescilly7517 he did do a burnout...
I’d call that a ride on mower.
Al's a brilliant car builder. Even more so he's brilliant enough to know there are other guys like John with the engine build and Matt with the rear end set up who are experts to appreciate. Legend.
can't remember who .. but someone said ' a wise man understands how little he knows '
The older I get the more I realise how little I know.
An old mate of mine whom i spent many years with helping him build cars and do engine conversions back in 80s an 90s his favorite saying as the wise man was why bark when you've got a dog never quite knowing what he meant. Then one day as a young man i asked him what the f..k it meant. Then he explained that i was his dog.
Exactly. I've unsubsribed from more than one hack channel where they are more worried about making content than making stuff right. The Nissan President is a perfect example.
Don’t forget about the ep where they tuned John’s ute with a new carby - despite Al’s prejudice towards carbies he remained open minded and was willing to learn what can be done with a properly designed and sized one
Shout out to Woody for timing the "clang" in the backing track with the gearbox hitting the crossmember. That sort of detail is the mark of a true craftsman!
I legit thought he just put that sound in there until I realised it was the song 😂
this above average engineering is new to me im just used to industry standard
19:51 “Everything’s illegal if you ask people that are shit” put that on a shirt. Best comment ever!
I really loved the behind the scenes stuff of you pulling the chassis out from behind the shed. You need to add more of it into the videos !
All I know is they all should be level at ride hight. Also I would still add a rear sway bar !
They always do...
Precision pine, hand crafted! Bahahah Nice one Woody!
Glad two Al working on something for himself can't wait to see it done
Gotta get a wheelie bar and chute for that mower - love it! 🤣🤣🤣
Al must be getting pretty pumped to see progress on the Crown moving forward.
That Matt guy is quite a confidence inspiring professional !
“Rust repairs” love your work guys 🤣🤣
*Insert "Last time I was this early" joke here.*
No seriously... I wanna see em all 🤣
Last time I was this early, I missed the apex.
Last time I was this early the cheese snags weren't in the Bain Marie yet
Got to love a good CAD template.
Brilliant episode! Matt is such a metalworking legend. Looking forward to seeing the Crown in all it's glorious episodes that will come.
Good to see you’re using CAD* for the project
*cardboard aided design
Should have a chat to the lads at Patriot Campers about about powder coating,they powder coated the young fellows fj chassis they other day.Could be a good collab as well.
love ya work lads!!!🤘
It's awesome watching someone who knows what they are doing. I wouldn't have a clue on how to set up suspension geometry.
Please tell me you guys gonna build that red A70 Supra 👌
I think more people will complain about the spirit level not beeping than the cutting of the body :)
"Make the Noise" 😁
Magic work boys. Loving the level of detail you've put in the video in terms of the work that goes into this sort of project, Top stuff. Even just stuff being angle-grinded - love seeing the detail
Grinding. Welding. Shorts. Must be Queensland 🙂
Yep QLP PPE
Is that a SUPRA! I own a Mk3 supra, same colour as the one in the intro, stock standard, very fun to drive 🤙🏽
Ye ol' wackin stick and presision pine blocking. . . Well atute to your precision methodry
Are you planning on putting a couple of big dash fittings and hoses on the sides of those two mini-sumps to link them together so the front one can drain into where the pick-up is?
Yes, I think I said as much. Transfer pipes.
@@theskidfactory ah OK, must have missed it in the video, I'm suitably embarrassed.
anything is legal as long as the engineer says it's OK.
They seem to know a good one, who doesn't look too closely at the "rust repairs" and wastegates "plumbed back to atmosphere"..
This car definitely does not have wastegates plumbed back to atmosphere.
well... or you are in Germany... imported classic US car, it came with upgraded brakes, got registered, 3 years later brakes had to be repaired- nobody wanted to do it because besides OEM parts everything is illegal to use and the engineer can't say OK because most parts for US cars don't come with the needed paperwork.. and because the car was modified in the first place there are no fitting OEM parts available... so the only legal way would have been to downgrade the disc brakes to the original drum brakes.. which is also not possible because the needed parts are not available anymore...
Did alittle spot weld in my undies when I saw it was a 30min episode 👌😍
Does BOM know Matt stole their CAD program?
Skid Factory's best skid ever.
I actually build new chassis for old cars like this and used to assemble the new chassis and it is really cool to see this channel taking on a similar job to what I do for my job.
Is this illegal
probably
do i care
no
Hello everyone. Super happy to be here.
We all should be so grateful for this place 🙏
Another *fab* episode boisssss
I see what you did there
The best advice you’ve given so far. ‘If you don’t know what you’re doing, get someone who does’.
The diff looked like it went on campaign with Charlemagne
I'd love to see a video explaining more around the mods allowable under NCOP and how you can work with/around this. I always thought the crossmember notch would not be permitted, especially with a heavy engine being installed. I'd also love to know how you are getting around the forced induction engine capacity multiplier!
I believe the trick here is the car is pre-ADR, being a 68.
Never knew crowns suffered so much front end rust! 😜
Love this thing. As an Alan myself sitting on couple ke20s love the old Toyota's to. If i had the parts or $$ id be doing the same, but id do turbo in a cruiser like that. Cant wait to see future vids 🤘👊
What was in the sandwich 🥪??
The Supra a future project????
Some mornings I feel just as beat up and worn down as a chassis builders magnetic level.
If it's a matter of keeping the rear in the middle and giving it all the mobility required, then look no further than 1907 ish. They had a very, stupid, simple design. Basically, a triangle that came from the mid section, meeting in the middle of the pumpkin with their equivalent of a ball end (it was a leather lash setup). Nothing more, nothing less than pure simplicity. If it worked for 1,5 ton trucks back then it works now too. All the mobility required up and down, all the mobility required in the axle swing, no quarter given to side to side, no quarter given to axle wrap-around (they had to deal with this even harder because of the odd chain driven setup).
My favourite show on TH-cam
Might be best build ..from SKID FACTORY. ..cause ,Woody give Alan = Hurry up to build His Own Car.👍
any reason why you wouldnt try get the elec assist working, it sound like a mint convenience for a crusing car.
Matt said this wasn't being done in CAD, then, the next shot, out comes the cardboard! (CAD = Cardboard Aided Design)
I enjoyed the laughs, it’s really cool seeing you guys having fun. And Matt’s an excellent recurring character, it’s great seeing a young rooster with some skills and a great work ethic. 10/10 would watch again.
So a young rooster and not an old cock?
HQ suspension bids when one side is lifted , because the 2 trailing arms are fighting each other .
XF falcon arms up/low are inline , the watts linkage controls sideways movement
Global Powdercoating at Archerfield in Brisbane do very nice work. They have multiple large ovens.
Next episode: How to install a lawnmower LSD
Haha,
I have a 40 series crown and used the same steering rack too, random 😅
Also, i used the electric column from the yaris too - used the upper half of the crown column and lower section of the yaris
Thanks for the welding "explanation". Not everything is TIG, despite what TH-cam tells you! A bit the same with stainless vs mild steel......
So you guys get a MIG Suntan from welding in shorts? Speaking from experience welding hotrod frames.
Precision machine pine ..😂😂😂 👌
That’s very expensive stuff that precision pine , don’t blow the budget 😂😂😂
He's quite good with C.A.D. (Cardboard Aided Design) and the hot glue gun (welder)... 😁😎👍
Can I get the "precision pine" 123 blocks laser engraved with the skid factory logo?
love the chassis builders work ethic !!! awsome work !!!
Its amazing how a MS55 had a 3
link and panhard rod from factory in the early70s .. So way ahead of everyone else
I would not use poly on the upper bushing. It will bind and break things. I'd use johnny joints (what you used on the lower arm at the axle) or heims on the upper mount because any deflection there will result in wheel hop.... that design is what GM used in their a-bodies (from 1964 up).... the other consideration is the height of the upper mounts so your instant center does what you want (burnout machine, you'd put that point as close to the rear as possible, if you want it to hook - put the IC about the middle of the crank at the rear of the motor....
In reference to 19:40, it's only illegal if you get caught by someone who cares ;-) And excellent music while you removed that small section of the body!
You can now say SHIT on TH-cam team.
Loving the crown build 👌🏻💙
Looking at the steering rack length against the pivots for the lower wishbones. Is the rack ball joints wider than the pivots on the wishbones?
If so, thats likely going to induce bump steer given they're not on the same position in Y (across the car), Height wise looks ok though (z)
Yes all those things. Be thankful you aren't dealing with it.
@@theskidfactory Just trying to help, what's the distance between the lower pivots? Someone might have access to steering rack data to help track down something suitable
It’s ridiculously narrow, no steering rack would work except silly centre pivot things
Paging woodys 2pack paint services
“Yeh nah”
is that a supra
Evil goblin doing skids on a ride on is exactly what I needed to see through my bout of COVID.
Looks like the COX needs a weight plate....... Or bigger slicks...
Well the last train out of Sydney's almost gone... To Rockynats
You're saying you are not using cad but then I see cardboard being used, that is cad right? Cardboard aided design? Love this technical episode.
As always Alan and Woody awesome content. Keep up the hard work
Woody missed his chance to give Al a lemon squash on that tow mower, $20 says Al would have lost half if the way it was hopping. Sad for the lemons but funny af for us!!
And tell Matt my mum says hi.....!
The wife says Matt should quit his day job and become a model. I'd agree with that.
Happy to report that I understood none of the chassis work. Engines I understand. Chassis and suspension: nada. Very informative as usual.
Hey fellas when you're looking for a part like the power steering rack that is the right size and shape for what you want where do you go to buy one?
“Precision Pine” lol. Needs to be a shirt that says that on the front real professional looking then the back of the shirt is just a pic of a block of wood.
Such a cool project and so great to see all the details. So many channels and car shows gloss over all the insane work that goes into a build like this. As others have said: I can't believe you haven't hit a million subs yet, the quality of the content is miles ahead of so many massive channels, as are the jokes.
Were that comic came from cuz it's true when y'all started doing the welding I said the same thing bet you all the ladies like him guess he's got that look
Have a question about your new oil pan. If the pick up is in the rear and then the pan crosses over the top of the steering rack and then back down again to have more capacity, how does that capacity get picked up and used (since it has no way to make it to the rear where the pick up is)?
I can see a shirt with 'is this illegal? I don't know' coming out
Is it legal? cops will tell you everything is illegal even if it's factory, people that inspect the car after it's been defected will all tell you something different depending on who you talk to.
The intro skid and Al with the limmi finger 😂😂😂👌👌👌👌🤌🤌🤌
24:35 - Vernier caliper being used as a scribe burnt my eyes.
Ay don't knock the speed dealer sunnys there very trades dream haha
Every time I see a level, I can hear Richard say, “make the noise!”
Do u have multiple fathers?
Or does ur father have multiple middle names?
Is that a beeper? Lol haven't seen one of those in yrs. Beepers still a thing in Australia?
Skids on your Cox?! Probably time for a shower!
Great to see the CAD design for the brackets.... cardboard assisted design... that is hehe
Somehow there's more than just one cox-joke in this episode. 🤣
I wonder if a yaris rack will be heavy duty enough with the extra load on it?
Awesome video, Matt seems like an absolute legend.
I want to know who he pays to engineer these "street cars" I've yet to see one that would pass legit.
29:35 Nuke the site from orbit. Only way to be sure.
There isn't a car enthusiast alive who can resist doing lawnmower wheelies.
A70 in the background has me very interested.
It's a full chassis car, it doesn't matter what you cut off the body.
What thickness are those 4 link bar tabs 5mm or 10mm thank you
please tell me yall are going to build that mkiii supra!!!?!?!?!
