    It really is cool to see the progression from the “rather exuberant” guys from the early episodes, to the respected craftsmen we see today. Jimmy, Jeremy, thank you for letting us appreciate the skill you guys possess, and #Powernation thank you for letting these guys become who they are today. I know that I will appreciate the #Carcass show for years to come.

    Well, I hope you don't forget to put a top reinforcement bar on the shocks hoop, because all that tension from the shocks will bend the chassis inward.

    You can’t run a steering box with a triangulated four-link front suspension; you’ll have uncorrectable bump steer. You either need to run full hydraulic steering, or run a three-link with a track bar.

    When welding near machined parts, especially with MIG anti-spatter spray is your friend. Also when welding near threads its a good idea to thread the piece in before starting... make sure your ground doesn't transfer through the threads.

    Awesome video, how’d you make sure the axles were completely square before measuring for control arms? Plumb bobs? I’m assuming that the frame was leveled before any plumb bob was used? How about the axles caster? It’s safe to assume that you positioned the axles at the optimum position first? I’d love to do a build and am in the metal trades, you are all awesome! I’m curious if you got sunburns from welding without sleeves?

    First time I've seen this particular video series. I really enjoy this type of creative fabrication. But where can I get access to a shop with a plasma cutter? To buy and build a simple shop with equipment like they have would probably cost more than my entire house. Seriously, I wish someone would do a video on how to economically build and equip such a shop, not just how to do projects in a completed shop.

      If you deal with a professional company you mock up the correct chassis height, measure the mounting points, corner weight your car (with the right load), then you send the data to the supplier.
      They will calculate spring stiffness and lengths to get you the ride height you have specified.

And don't forget about your northern neighbors. That's right people from Canada watch your stuff and we want to be included. If you stop giving away whole cars and gave away some car parts people might be more inclined to watch. Also I thing anyone from Canada would gladly drive down to the USA to get one of your give away cars so don't count us out. Anyway just giving you some thoughts.
