Awesome video. Brought me back to the hundreds and hundreds of times my dad and I worked on his midget in the garage. Or helping my uncle work on his sprint car in NZ.🤙 🤙
Cool Build! I just finished working on an old Monogram sprint car model from the eighties and researched a lot of pictures.The biggest surprise is how little has visibly changed to sprint cars in all these years. Downtubes, upper cage tubes, safety seat, knee protection, fire system, and front brakes were the biggest visual changes. The actual chassis geometry looks pretty much the same. There's probably more the naked eye can't see, but appearance is everything! Like the bulldog!
Coming together, and that's a good way so far, all right and torqued one bolt at a time. Better slow and right, then fast and crashed. Hope that guy hooks ya up with the 270.
Tmez, brought back some great memories when Jim, Andrew and I were putting together our cars and racing you and others at the weekly shows at Gas City, Kokomo and The Burg. Keep up the great work bud!!
Aside from a few extra tubes for safety, it's amazing how few tubes they get away with probably due to using cage and front down tubes for beam stiffness.
Grade 8 racing… we roll like that as well. We also use a similar wooden rear axle holder in our shop too! Thanks for always posting great content. Love getting our notifications of fresh TMez content!!! ❤❤❤
Dude, i sure appreciate your shop videos, as well as the vids from the track. I just built my first wingless sprint last year, it was super fun. Mid season i got in a chain of tire jumps and had a guy bounce up and i jumped his tire and ended up yard saling it. Ended up building another car (Maxim), which was unplanned to finish the season. Im enjoying these shop vids as i can take away some of your tips and ways of doing things. I appreciate ya man, keep it up and good luck this year!
Another great video. Would love to live close to someone’s shop that didn’t mind me hanging around watching and learning. Until then I’m depending on you Tmez. 😂
Just got my send it shirt and my send it and slide or die decals I'm really happy with my stuff T thanks I can't wait to sport it all!!!! And thanks for TMez TV man you're awesome!
Thomas a good 305or410 for local racing to play with, I know the 305 class here at the local track draws some cars and they will fly, the 410s are raw power flat footed on a lil 3/8 mile banked track is a rush. I've wrenched sprints, micros late models from the mid 70s until 2012 I really miss it.👍🇺🇸🏁🤘
Thanks for putting this out I have always wanted to see this being done. I am looking forward to meeting you this summer at a track. This is the best channel on TH-cam by far. 🤓
This video is awesome! Please, more of this. I love learning more about the behind the scenes. What would be the actual elapsed time of what you did in this video?
I did not spend the time on this edit I need to for sure. Busy week. Editing on the 10 hour drive to Kansas. Probably should have waited but the next one will have music
I'm not asking to be a D but truly curious. Why not use heim safety washers or heim spacers? No need to cut bolt heads and allows for proper heim rotation. I come from a world where there is over 3 ft of wheel travel and all the heims require the spacers for proper travel. Spacers or washer seems easier than latheing a bolt or hand grinding it.
I was thinking about selling it but now I might put a create Ls motor in it and do a driving school or rental at Puttnumville. TH-cam channel has me wondering if it wouldn’t make more sense to do something with it or sell it. 🤷♂️
oh you are showing a build for those curious about it and asked about it, thanks tom its a lot of work, and time out of your schedual to film and edit. and show just how much goes into it thanks :}
@@tmezTv yes though I imagin it would be a lengthy process putting it all togather. I like the aspect of how things are created or what goes into them the process even if I cant well execute some things myself, as never had the opratunity to learn, or little to try, like mig welding or hot riveting
I credible talent. Have you ever tried? It takes a mevhanical geniuos to fabricate a rolling competitive racer like this. Only a gew ralented people can pull this off - from prchasing ybe steel to time trials.

Always watch your videos when I fire up need longer videos
Thank you Thomas for showing us how you put together a sprint car. It was an awesome watch❗👍🙂

That was cool. I'm impressed with the variety of content you keep putting out.
I appreciate that! Just filming my life. Trying to grow the channel and I feel like the different content brings more ppl in to the channel

Thanks for sharing.
850 HP 1400# ya gotta love it!
This video is awesome! Please, more of this. I love learning more about the behind the scenes. What would be the actual elapsed time of what you did in this video?
I spent 8 hours on the car. 2 cleaning parts finding bolts and 2 messing with cameras
Great idea for a video! keep up the killer work man
U need so old timey music during long sections lol thx bud
I did not spend the time on this edit I need to for sure. Busy week. Editing on the 10 hour drive to Kansas. Probably should have waited but the next one will have music
Thank you for sharing.
Come on don w. Give it up 🤙🤙
1000hp in a non wing sprint car! Now I want to see some in car video when that bad boy gets rolling!

YULP... That's How I Would Have Done It... 😂🤣😂
Thanks for the shout out!
Grew up watch your show!!
Hi, okay, what's a bird cage, i am totally new to building a sprint car. What is the best frame to get. What do you run ?
Another great video!! Are you gonna sell that car or keep it? The build videos are great! #bestyoutubechannel
I was thinking about selling it but now I might put a create Ls motor in it and do a driving school or rental at Puttnumville. TH-cam channel has me wondering if it wouldn’t make more sense to do something with it or sell it. 🤷♂️
@@tmezTv a rental would be cool. I'll start saving my penny's now. Lol
Nearly all these sprint car frames are made in China, from Chinese steel. Makes you feel real safe
oh you are showing a build for those curious about it and asked about it, thanks tom its a lot of work, and time out of your schedual to film and edit. and show just how much goes into it thanks :}
I know you would like this one. The next build will be better bc I will film it better. Learn with each edit
@@tmezTv yes though I imagin it would be a lengthy process putting it all togather. I like the aspect of how things are created or what goes into them the process even if I cant well execute some things myself, as never had the opratunity to learn, or little to try, like mig welding or hot riveting
No ti bolts?
Not on this one. Plan on selling it. My Drc will have all the Ti bolts 😂
Thanks Tom!
The beginning got me not breathing properly💀
shop time before good time T thanks
8:30??
Thx Tmez
5:25 Surely that's just bragging?

Teach me. Lol
