- This is the first of many videos in our build series!!! We will show you what it takes to build one of the fastest drag cars start to finish. Starting with the beginning laying of chassis and chassis construction.
@CJRaceCars
Pay attention folks... That's years of experience telling you what's up ! Nice job Cameron
Thank you. Lot of knowledgeable guys on the team for sure 🙏🏻💪🏻
@@CJRaceCars Hell yeah
Free Knowledge from the best, who could ask for more!?
Thank you 🙏🏻
They're more than just fast, they're works of art. From my years of racing I always tell people, if you like cars, go to the track. Not only do you get to wander around and see tons of show quality vehicles, but you get to watch them throw thousands of horsepower down on the track. It's better than most car shows, and shops like yours make it all happen. Love the content, keep it coming.
I totally agree. Thanks for the support 💪🏻
U guys are killing it on the new build, can not wait to see the progress, looking forward to the next update, keep up the good work guys, Dwayne here from South Africa
Thanks for the support from way over there 💪🏻
It doesn't look crazy it looks awesome !!! I love this kind of engineering .
Cameron can you do dirt late model chassis ? There is a huge market for those !
Not really. We are more geared up to just do the style cars we do.
@@CJRaceCars will this car be heavier than Justin’s? If yes why? I thought the lighter the better.
@@CJRaceCars Hell yeah. When your good at something why change. It takes 100,000 hours to be a master
@@CJRaceCars is that a proline Hemi?
Hell Yeah !!!!!!
Super Stoked for this one !!
Thanks for taking the time to film it !!
BTW, congratulations on that super quick race car you have built Justin !! That damn car goes down through there on rails !! Straight AF !! THOSE AERODYNAMIC ZOOMIES WERE THE TICKET !!
Thank you. Definitely really happy with how he’s doing with the car 💪🏻
@@CJRaceCars absofuckinglutely
Hey CJ is there a difference in chassis between a pro 275 car vrs a no prep chassis?
Depends. Some yes. Engine placement mainly. But also need to clear a lot bigger tire 36”
The Nova build is looking amazing and it shows just how hard it is to make a race car but you and your team are killing it about the picture it those look like 24 hours older maybe 48 hours just kidding a big tums UP to you and your team for making amazing race cars.
😅. Thank you 💪🏻
Bro, have the shirts printed stat. I'll buy 2 right now. DAN THE MAN!
352 IN THE HOUSE
#FLORIDABOYZ
In the process now 💪🏻
Dan the man love the videos yaw are killing it. 👍
Dam the man 🇺🇸💪🏻
Hell Yeah! Dan The Man.
Great video as always lost me on the 3rd bar on the cage
😅. Lot more detail on the next videos.
Hell Yeah, that's Danny for sure. It's a great picture of Danny. "THE NOTCH MASTER"
He’s the man 💪🏻
Really enjoy the videos. Keep up the great work.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Awesome work! When closing tubes on a chassis update, I've had to drill tubes I was joining, with a 3/32" - 1/8" bit . I did that to relieve some shielding gas pressure build-up. Do you do something similar, or do you practice something different? Anyway, your work looks impeccable!
Danny's drawing looks like Lee Marvin and Clay Milligan had a child. Lol
That's a pretty spot on drawing 👌.
😂😂😂😂
The pic is cool as hell 🤙
I thought so too 💪🏻
its within 30 thousands 😂😂😂
Picture is great of Dan The Man.... It will make a killer shirt!!
I think so too. Can’t wait to have them finished.
Greetings from the UK. Thanks for showing us your work, great jib
💯💯💯💯,is this the Nova called'Nitty?
This isn’t. It’s Brian’s new car.
Tell us more about bar size. And sickness
Definitely will do that in next video.
looks just like him .... dan the man ftw !!
Dan the man 🇺🇸💪🏻
When setting the motor/midplates, are you pointing crank centerline directly at the pinion at full rearend extension?
No. Engine is pointed up slightly in the back. Will work better for both big and small tire that way.
@@CJRaceCars ok, so you're pointing crank at pinion with car at ride height?
Danny is petty dam good
He’s the man for sure 💪🏻
Another great video love watching your videos you explain things that even a dummy like me can they understand
Appreciate all the supoort
If you are experiencing breaks in the "X" member area, a HIGH stressed area. Would a "Shear Plate" spread the load?
F.E.A. would show this and may be the solution to the effect of the Anti - roll bar not entirely doing its job.
Get it get it!
Love watching how the cars all come together ...I had no idea what went in to building the chassis of these are awesome cars... really appreciate your time showing everything...😎🇺🇸
Definitely a lot of work. Hopefully the build series will show everyone a lot of the detail and small things that go into them 💪🏻
Man there's nothing better than seeing you guys take the time to break all this stuff down so we can get that birds eye view of everything with is coming out killer the Chassis looks amazing the attention to detail is insane can't wait to see the next video. Dude that freaking drawing is his carbon copy props to the artist who drew it . As always keep up the awesome work guys 💪💪💯💯
Thanks for the support. More on it next week 💪🏻
Ya’ll build a beautiful car..that man is good son..he acts lucky but it’s not luck…it’s wisdom…I would never want to gun this man..he would draw on you so fast…you would be a dead man walking…say boy I build dream cars…and when you build dream cars you make dream money
Dan the man shirts are awesome.!!
Coming soon 💪🏻
@@CJRaceCars What Whaaat!!!
I love fabrication, it's a art of its own Danny is a artist
Dan is the man 🇺🇸💪🏻
One think i know from building tube cars .It alot of work simple 25.1 chassis would take 2 guys 80 hrs to get it going and another 4weeks tubing and welding .
Nice thanks for the insight & explanation
Thanks for the support as always 🙏🏻
Nice as always maybe I can get the old duster down with in the next year let u guys do your magic love your crew and your work is top notch which u didn't haft to prove yourself uve been ard a while but CJRC is making the bickle,LJRC list goes on I think your stuff is working better than any of them
Thank you we are working hard to try and be one of the top shops 💪🏻
Man I love your guys videos but I was hopping the build videos were going to more of the process then the after math..like videos of danny actully bending up tube and notching and going over that stuff
They will be from here out. We just had a few weeks of no videoing.
The art work is solid
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thomas Deborah Perez Michelle Robinson Gary
If you listen carefully and have a clue What’s up y’all are giving out some good information about building a door slammer chassis
🙏🏻
Oh yea. Incorporated into the Driveshaft tunnel / loop would also distribute the load betterer. HaHa!
you all been hiding
Back finally lol
Yet another great video, always look forward for your new video uploads to check out what is happening in the shop. This build series of the Nova will give everyone a insight on what it takes to build a high quality tube chassis and car to be competitive in todays racing classes and series. The rendition drawing of Dan is spot on and will be a hot seller "Dan Da Man" t-shirts. I'm sure t-shirts of Jessie, Eddie and Troy would sell well. As always keep up the great work and look forward for your next video...
Thank you 🙏🏻 . We will definitely do some with them all in the near future for sure 💪🏻
Cameran is that Mike's car. Danny that is artwork my friend. Thanks for showing us this stuff. I feel like this should pay per view. But glad it's not. Thanks again
Brian’s new pro 275 car
This is going to be fun, to see step-by-step in this build.🔥
🙏🏻💪🏻
Can you add more content and followup about the 2JZ pro mod build. thanks. Larry Crowe
Justin’s car looks great from 20 feet. I took a good look at it when he was at Epping. Definitely a beautiful race car. The wrap doesn’t hold up well when the panels are constantly being removed and installed.
The body needs work. Ran out of time when final figment and body work.
Gentlemen,
I've watched this vid. a couple of times & wondered - why the asymmetry between the rear cross-member to rocker tube from one side to the other instead of a 90 on both sides? I've built some stuff, like back-half stuff, but am in no way as adept as you all. Nice work, BTW!!
Normally we do that to give room to lower the seat.
Get ready for the 97 changes Justin’s gonna make while you all build that thing lol
By far the best car building channel out there the detail givin is amazing yeah you can what Mcamis he’s funny but really doesn’t go into the builds in as much detail this channel goes from the little guy getting work to the big guy getting a whole car the shop is always clean and neat. Team looks happy and engaged that’s what sets you guys apart keep the content comming please
Definitely appreciate that. We are definitely trying and working hard as a team to get to the top 💪🏻
Excellent content Cameron 👌. That was so informative I feel as though I could go and build my own chassis 🤣💪
😅💪🏻
You guys build one of the best chassis I've ever seen probably the best just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to show us and explain everything it's really cool of you guys love the videos can't wait for the next one
Thank you. Have an awesome team here and they all take a lot of pride in what we do 🙏🏻💪🏻
Sick! You guys do some awesome work! Very impressive
Dan the man is killing it very nice work. Also Cameron I can only imagine you doing this plus running a business I’m sure is not easy but trust me a lot of us out here really enjoy your videos your content and your effort for all you have done thank you so much
It is but I enjoy it and cool to see so many people share the same passion we do. Hopefully we can keep growing the channel 💪🏻
This is going to be a super nice car Dan is definitely the man.
How high off the ground does the body sit at ride height at the front and rear of rocker panel thanks for these videos
Relay like this build. The X Body is one of my favorites. Are the t-shirts Within 0.030.
Mine also
Keep up the positive videos. Couple questions. Who manufactures the rear housing? Do you think a fuel bladder type cell would help prevent the frontal damage, explosions and fire like we have seen lately? Very nice videos guys
That is a Carmack Engineering rear end. Not sure if fuel bladders would help or not with the force they hit the wall some times. But something to consider
Since I have experience with bladder style fuel cells I'd have to say that cost and manufacture time would make them a deal breaker for most drag racers. The types of cars that require them are carrying 10, 15, or even 20 gallons of fuel, so keeping the fuel in the cell is a big deal. These fuel cells come in standard configurations designed to be installed in the rear of the car and are not only huge, they are very expensive. These types of drag cars will carry 3-4 gallons max, so you're looking at a much smaller mess (fire) if some gets out. Bladder style fuel cells are usually available in standard sizes and designs for their intended purpose where drag cars will usually have a custom cell built to fit in a tighter spot in the front of the car. To have a bladder custom built would be extremely expensive, and could take as much as 6-7 months to have done. They also require certification and will have to be re-certified/replaced every few years. Most of the fires you see at the dragstrip are a result of an engine failure causing engine oil to be liberated from the crankcase onto glowing header tubes which then ignite into a ball of flames. I'm not saying there isn't fuel fires, fuel lines fail, the car can nose into the wall causing a rupture,etc. I'm just saying a bladder fuel cell wouldn't be a huge safety advantage considering the cost and the difficulty in manufacturing a custom bladder for every custom fuel cell. Besides, we're drag racers, we'll die like men! (that's a joke) lol
I think that drawing looks 100 percent like Danny 👍 and thanks again guys for a great video good content 👍
I agree lol. Thanks for the support 🙏🏻💪🏻
Y’all got the best jobs ever. I wish I could get into fab work. Y’all are killing it.
Thank you we definitely love what we do. If it’s what you want to do you can make it happen 💪🏻
Nice job
🙏🏻
more danny vids doin chassis work man the young kids really can learn just how critical this part is!!!!!! Great vid guys thanks,Spittin imagie Danny of danny HA-HA
He will be in this whole series. Next video will show some tube bending, lay out and notching.
You guys are top notch. I think the picture was dead on.keep up the great work
Thank you 💪🏻
Could the tube that houses the anti-roll bar be incorporated into the chassis instead of being separate?
Love seeing that Lexus run that y’all did, top car in every aspect!!! Can’t believe the little dirtbag Chuck this weekend but what can you expect from a dude that spits in another mans face, but all in all it’s on Justin should’ve been ready.
Yeah that’s racing unfortunately
How do you guys been just watching old videos over and over
How do you determine the length of the 4 link bars needed? Is it whatever fits from the axle C/L to the first bar?
Thanks,
Nick
There are a few lengths for big tire cars that most use. All somewhere around 21”. We make adjustments in the placement front to back of the #1 bar to always use that same length
All I can say is wow. Alot of years wrapped up In 20 minutes
🙏🏻
Honestly its just the best kind of art work!
Now theres days of tig work lol.
Question.....is this the new Murder Nova? 🙃
No sir this is a new pro 275 car
What will the weight be chassis only
Love the details in your builds!! Over the top nice work!!
Thank you 💪🏻🙏🏻
You guys rule Cameron and the vids are awesome!
Thank you 🙏🏻💪🏻
If it was my can I would have the Danny drawing ghosted on both lower front fenders. Build it light twist it tight. thanks guys
That is pretty cool idea 💪🏻
Danny the shit he's an og and is very knowledgeable and a dam good fabricator another nice unit outa CJRC
He’s awesome for sure 💪🏻
Hey man love learning about your builds! My whole family have bikes and trucks. I’m looking for advice to break out into fabricating custom cages/ cars like you do. Long story short 5years ago I gave up a great career in business to persue some thing I really enjoyed. Started out welding and now I’m a steel fabricator. I build railings and monumental staircases for a living but I’m not satisfied with where I’m at now. I was lucky enough to learn start to finish how to fabricate rails before my company invested in a large amount of machinery. Cars, trucks and motorcycles have always been a passion of mine. I’ve applied to a couple of shops around the Baltimore area but haven’t had luck. Literally the only thing I can think of is starting out on my 01 Cummings and Fabing a custom bumper, track bars etc. At least then they see I’m ready to go full throttle with this stuff and learn this side of the trade. Any advice helps man. Appreciate it!!
Can u show us how u polish it and bend it. And size of tubing u are using. Great jobs CJRC
Definitely in next video
Late to the party…but man that shop is clean. Nice work!
Let’s go 💪🏻
New school, old school, don't care, Danny school is where it's at. Take it from me Danny's work is as good as it's possible to get. I'm somewhat worried that there hasn't been any updates from CJ for a long time, even though Cameron said an update every week. hopefully they're all good and a vid will drop soon.
How are you cleaning the mill scale off the tubing?
Tube polisher
@@CJRaceCars what exactly is a tube polisher
WOWSERZ Guys,, Fantastic Video,, and I Think The Artist Did a Dang Good Job With That Portrait Drawing of Dan !!! Have a Blessed Wknd All .
Would love to see how he determines and measures a tube (ex.main hoop) from start to finish, bend points etc. The whole kit n kaboodle from start to finish.
We will do something like this soon.
@@CJRaceCars Awsome and cant wait
Thank you so much for all the details. I found you through the Monza deal.
Thanks for checking us out 💪🏻
Is this Monza’s new car?
Is this Monza’s new car?
Is it difficult to get the wheel base right on the procharger cars with only having the one spot to place the rack?
Not really. Just makes for a weird tie rod angle some times. Some of the longer wheel base cars are backwards
if someone wanted to learn how to do stuff like this what would u suggest? also for sfi books is there one book to buy for all the different kind of cages?
There is a book for each spec. If you want to learn beat bet is just get your foot in the door at a local shop doing anything you can do and ask questions and practice when off the clock maybe. Also looking at pics and watching videos will help get a basic explanation of what’s going on.
Chrome moly tubing come in silver now? Just wondering.
We have a tube polisher
thats like art I want to build a tube car so bad
What centers do you usually build your cars rear end to? Looks like 20 inches
16” normally
What's your theory on 4 link bar lengths? You said you guys run 21" some run them shorter and some longer. Is there any advantages one vs the other? Is 21 your standard for pretty much all of them or is it depending on other factors like wheelbase length?
Yeah we run 21” on pretty much everything. The longer the bar the softer the 4 link adjustment is per move. If the bar was short and you moved it down a 1/2” on the front it would be a drastic instant center move. 21” is about the longest you can usually go with where the crossmember is located in most cars.
@@CJRaceCarsI got you, makes sense. Thank you for replying
U guys are doing very high end work. What camera are you using to shoot your videos?
Go Pro
Are you using all brand new sheet metal/body parts/panels?
Yes on this build we are.
Where's the first video
Cj I'm not good at math my car would not be square ..good work
Just have to take you time and plan it out
I'm waiting on an episode of wheelie bars. What they do and how to build
Definitely something we will do in the future.
Outstanding work! Definitely need one of those Dan the Man shirts when the site is up.
November 1st we will launch site.
Very nice work, Danny most people have no idea what it takes to notch tubing lol
Really is an art. Danny is awesome at it.
Where are you located!
✊🏼amazing content!
Great video guys. Thanks. 👍👍
Thanks for watching 💪🏻
Killer work guys and love the videos. Can you do a video on how you do the set up and the placement of the front upper strut mount and lower control arm and mounts? Thanks and keep up the great work!!!
