Fabrication Takes Too Long: Locost Support Tubes

Remember that one time that I was going to mock up four tubes to start the day off and then move on to something else, but then it ended up taking all day long? I do.
This is how it goes though. You mess up one measurement, then the tube doesn't sit the way you want. Then you start over, then you go to lunch. Then you get a visitor. Then you play on your phone for a bit. Fabricator problems.
Anyway, I got my four tubes done plus two in the front that only took like 20 minutes.
Also, we have a winner on the T-shirt give away. This was fun, I will do more give aways in the future, stay tuned!

We’re excited to see the next episode, bro. Can’t wait.

[@fatninja987]

are you ever going to post more updates on this build?

[@jameshuckfeldt8259]

Hi Car Sick,
can you finish the Locost build?

[@samcrawford9503]

When's the next update dude as like the videos so far.

[@Micah_Makes]

When is the project coming back?!!

[@rDenizOner]

Hi;
I wonder about your gear suggestion and what type of welding machine do you use?
Could you please make a video to introduce all the gear you use?

[@TrickyCustomer]

It's not the winning that matters, it's the taking part. That's why my comment alone deserves a t-shirt😂 only joking I'll play again next time more fun. Keep the vids going man it's great to be on break and have something to watch at work 👍

[@CarSick]

Thank you for playing, email me your mailing address and I'll send you a sticker. [e-mail]

[@uweeby69]

#7. so close. im hooked. move videos!

[@CarSick]

Cool, my plan worked perfectly. Muhahahaha

[@cec4]

just remember, when you become all big and known, member me.

[@Micah_Makes]

When is the Locost project starting up again?

[@CarSick]

I bought a house a month ago, that has been my priority right now. Maybe in a couple months!

[@Micah_Makes]

Congrats man. Did the same two years ago. I know what kind of time suck it can be.

[@MiniMattTV]

Its coming along dude! Won’t be so long now! Will you be getting the chassis powder coated?
Kinda glad I didn’t win or you would have to post to the uk! Haha

[@CarSick]

I don't mind shipping to the UK, what's a few more dollars? I probably won't be getting it powder coated, I'm sure that I will need to add or remove something after the car is driving and that would suck to grind off the powder coat. I am thinking about POR15 or black Rustoleum brush on, or maybe even a low texture truck bed lining. Something that I can touch up if needed.

[@MiniMattTV]

Car Sick!! Por15 is definitely the way to go if you ask any of the mini people but I haven’t used it

[@theredkhajiit0.154]

#5 didn't really expect to be that close tbh

[@CarSick]

Warpage from welding can be a bitch. Are you a welder by trade?
