Reminder for everyone to just get out and do something on your project.. anything, if you just dedicate a few minutes of your time a night you will be months ahead on your project. One "thing" accomplished today after work will translate to a lot being accomplished overtime
Absolutely!
Even just get out into your garage and clean/organize; it'll get you thinking about what needs to get done. Just dedicate an hour twice a week or more and stuff will get done.
I wish but my trip to the US left me flat broke lol
Nah. Im waiting for the paint to get dry. Cant work on a wet motorbike
Good point...
17:19 - turn that bolt around, ALWAYS have the nut on the bottom if possible so if the nut falls of, the bolt still can’t fall out.
that bugged me big time, especially for steering
ha saw this later :) i commented same thing!
yes, it's what we do in aviation when possible
"Screw down so you don't screw up!" was a phrase we used all the time
Dude that plasma table has to be one of the best additions to the shop ever!
Man, the ability to take a picture with your phone and get the program to cut a piece to fit is absolutely incredible.
Kinda jealous, cuz I’m still doing cardboard aided design to make simple shapes.
@@spaight711 considering the set up and programming time, if you are nifty with a grinder its almost as fast. the cnc is unbeatable for making multiple identical parts though
The gusset plates are just absolutely mint
I happen to agree 😃
I really appreciate that you're keeping the solid rear axle. Don't use a panhard bar. Use a watts linkage. Panhard bars are good if you need a lot of travel, but they cause the axle to move side to side throughout the travel of the suspension. A watts linkage keeps the axle centered, as long as there is not a ton of travel. I'm not an engineer or anything, just a teenager who has done a lot of research on solid axles because I'm slightly obsessed with them. Keep up the great work!
I second this! Watts link is way cooler and almost 0 side to side movement
The counterpoint is always: once you go "real racecar", you don't see much suspension travel. So then it becomes a question of whether the extra complexity and unsprung weight of a watts link is worth preventing a few mm (or even less) of sideways axle movement..
Try do a watts linkage instead of a pan hard bar for the rear end may help with drifting with a solid rear end
Came here to say this. Or triangulated 4 link if space is a concern.
You literally level up in every aspect every video! Production 10, content 10, fabrication 10, design 10, presentation 10. Keep it up man!
That phone camera app is amazing. Managing to get accurate measurements and dimensions off of a picture. Talk about a huge time saver. I assumed it would be able to ballpark stuff, but every piece you cut out is perfectly flush.
I love the attention to detail! The patience required to do the CAD, the cutting, the grinding, the sanding, the dying, the polishing, the tacking, the little smacks and tweaks and bends! its great man this is going to look sick as HECK!
The White wheels look absolutely beautiful
Yes they do! You’ll see em more in the next video
Fuck yeah the front looks insane. I can’t wait to see some big ol brakes on there!
😉
i know youve already painted your front subframe 😅 but i think you should have done a rack relocation forwards, to avoid using offset rack spacers. gktech do some bushes that might help as well. I just dont want you to run into overcentering tie rod issues, which im pretty sure you already have. ❤️ fantastic work as always!
Anti intrusion bars from the cage to the tub gonna be a thing? Just in case a tandem bump ever takes the spindle/wheel off and tries to shove it back through the tub. Trying to keep ya safe as possible!!
Yes! Once I know it clears I want to do that
Your skill set grows with every new video. Might I suggest an english wheel as your next shop/fabrication tool. It would allow you to make more dished pieces that you could use for those tubs. Also, a bead roller.
I love everything about this project.
Keep up the amazing work!!!!
Much respect for this guy, I've seen old videos of his where he was working on his car in the rain under a useless roof and now hes building a drift truck by himself, hes like leveling up in a video game
You are literally the sleeper of mechanics, you don’t look mechanically inclined but god damn your builds are like no other. ❤❤
With how great he's gotten at making brackets in CAD and physical (Cardboard Aided Design) I feel like one day he will acquire a 3D scanner and take it to a whole other level it just feels like he is on a path to that tool
computer computer aided design and physical computer aided design XD
he probably will soon it’s not too expensive for one anymore
I just finished watching a video of some mad Australians restoring a German Tiger tank from rusty bits that had been sunk in Russian mud for the last 70 years. After watching someone use a full foot of welding stick to maybe get one inch done, anyone else talking about “fully welding” something does give me a bit of a chuckle.
Probably the sickest mini truck build on the planet!! 🤙🏻😎
Have you considered triangulating the rear suspension so you can eliminate the need for a pan hard bar? You can also dial in the control arm geometry while doing this and achieve much better driving characteristics.
Always love those little edits that go to the music! :D
HP academy always has their alignment course on sale. Well worth the read/watch. 18:43 Stock 2urgse!
Amazing build, i have an idea about the fender flares, there is a youtuber named Kordare who widened his mustang by using another set of oem fenders, spacing them out and attaching them to the stock fenders. It could be and idea to have wider fenders but maintain a somewhat stock look.
that bead to instrumental transition at 02:05 was just *chefs kiss* please never change
Awesome video, may I suggest two things, take the springs out of the coilovers to test wheel clearance, and tie your rollcage into the strut towers,
Man that plasma table has more than paid for itself with how much time you’ve saved from having to hack your own pieces up.
Plasma cutter is probably the best tool I've seen you het over the years 🤩
Been with the channel 10 years man love to see you progressing and growing. Keep up the hard work love this build brother.
One of the absolute most underrated channels. 🎉 great content Gingium
That’s chunk of floor you cut out is a common rust spot on these trucks, some one is drooling over that chunk of floor lol
I just want to say that I respect you very much Caleb!
Whoa!...last time I checked in you were just getting the rally miata running...you've come a long way man, kudos to your success.
Fantastic progress, have you thought about doing the 240 rack/subframe mod while your in there?
Friendly reminder that Ging used to only make project cars on Forza. What a wild ride it’s been.
Absolute Picasso, this truck is turning into art my g
A man of culture, H3 Podcast in the background
Go Gingium! This build is one of my favorite, I just like the style of the drift truck so much. Very happy to see you taking it all the way.
"cz it's cool and pretty much that's it" - Gingium 2023
really the only reason we build cars
Yup at least I'm honest with myself lol
I really appreciate that the camera cuts are on time with the background music.
Never thought I would like this truck when you first started it, but now, I love it ❤️. Just amazing how you come up with such cool projects.
Gingium thank you for making videos it always keeps my inspiration high and always putting fab ideas in my head for my future builds, I'm going to be finishing welding school in August and I can make the step from gaming to doing it in real life like you 🤣
6:50 intrusive thougts won on that one😂
The truck is looking neat!
So cool to se you progress
Love how well the front end turned out but I feel like a cantilever suspension for the rear running a solid axle is just looking a for a ton of headaches compared to adapting a rear subframe from an s chassis. And parts availability and aftermarket support will be even greater when something gets torn up which will happen in drifting.
This truck deserves to be a DLC on forza!!!! Keep up the work my dude u are killing it, gingium and the whole team way to go
the ETS hilux deserves to be first. But this the mazda is looking good.
Do you have a PO Box? You should consider doing mail call videos. I’m sure lots of people would love to watch that and send you stuff. Me included.
Put the bolts from the top in the tie rods, prevents the bolt from falling off in case of anything
that thumbnail is terrifying
I'm f*cking hyped to see this truck come fully together, the front end looks amazing and I can't wait to see what's in store for the roll cage and frame
11:13 I was a fabricator like you once, then I took a wheel well to the knee.
an honest recommendation to an already badass build, instead of a normal panhard bar, try out a Watts Link setup, it'll keep the rear axle perfectly in line up and down. It would just add another level of different to an already out of the box style drift car/truck.
Love how gingium sticks to doing his own fabrication from start to finish unlike other youtubers who are just a face and have a team of mechanics and fabricators to do it for them!!! Been watching since forza days such a glow up.
Gingium I'm glad you didn't give up a while ago when you were at your lowest
We would of never got to see this glorious idea of yours manifest into reality
Keep on trucking brother never stop 👊🏽💯💯💯💯🇧🇧
Vardy Exciting Stuff going on!...Awesome Fab work!
Truck v2 is coming out awesome! On the rear instead of a pan hard bar think about a Watts link instead.
Caleb, you do great work! ...you have completely rebuilt the front of the truck, and it looks awesome! ...Why not notch the Front subframe & relocate the Steering rack?! ...those spacers are VERY unreliable, and are for ppl who have no inclination to fabricate ...you are capable of doing the rack relocation. The loading that the rack end threads will be put thru is quite brutal ...and many racks have split and caused wrecks. If you've followed Jimmy Oakes/AdamLZ in the last 5 years, you would see how many times they've had to replace their racks.
this is some serious weld asmr! love it
beautiful!, I love the way you can photograph a cardboard template then cut it out in metal to an exact fit, very clever
This thing is going to be gorgeous when it’s done. Proud of you, dude!
This truck is going to be a beast, can’t wait to see it on a drift track
These are the best videos on TH-cam. Try and change my mind. You can't
Cant believe how much fabrication you can do yourself!
It truely baffles me as to why this channel isn’t really growing. I feel bad the content is such high quality
🥲
From the white fc to here man you have grown so much keep it up bro
Love the content! I can't wait to really get going on the chassis work on my first gen prelude. I recommend that when you get into the firewall work, you cut the whole thing out and just go with a flat firewall. It will make so many things so much simpler.
Gusset plates are insanely sick!!! Cant wait to see her all put together!! I hope you are building a screamer of a 1uz for this sexy truck, a big supercharger scoop wouldn't even get in the way of visibility when you are only looking out the side windows ;)
ur choice on music is Amazing!
Need that gingium channel to grow to a milli subs this year with edits like these😤
You could've put the wheel and tire at full lock and mostly compressed and then built the tub around it so it could save space and still give enough room for the tire
I swear dimple dies can turn any noob project into a sema build
Should build yourself a custom strut Tower brace with dimple die holes that match the rest of the car
itc crazy how far you came from your first vids back in the day. keep up the good work
At 17:19 when you're bolting that tie rod on? The bolt should always be pointing down, not up. That way in case the nut vibrates off or another failure, gravity will hold the bolt in place. And you'll still be able to steer!! lol It's like an aircraft standard. Bolts always face down, or away from the direction of travel, for safety.
Put a v10 or v12 in it 😉
Amazing video, There is something in your videos which is satisfying to watch 🤩
This build is screaming for an IRS conversion. Hope we get to see it.
I think you could've made those tubs way smoother and save a lot more space in the cabin. But none the less, i can't do what you do and you are good at what you do 👍
Please make a video on how you use Fusion 30 for ur projects! Amazing content!
Truck is looking sweet
Madness!! That steering angle kit is epic too!! How about watts linking instead of a panhard rod setup? It's not much more effort with the tools you have in the workshop. Definitely worth it at the end of the day. Cheers. Leigh.
Looking pretty Good !
I would consider getting rid of your firewall, finding a seating position, position your pedals and then building the tubs and firewall again
Me watching you use a little tiny amount of blue tread-lock: meh.
Me watching you use a ginormous amount of red tread-lock: oh, yeah!
😂
Yo gin, ur work previously is like as long as it work the quality is put aside but this n the mitsubishi u should be proud. It is way far diffrence n alot of improvemnt. Great job
Are those the new wheels in the thumbnail?!! Looks great!!
Probably the wheels of Hunter his 240sx.
Love the content man keep up the good work!!!!
Damn I wish my Suzuki looked like this
Look into a pre runner truck body kit for your year truck. They may have made your wide body kit for you hahaha
Great Work
Puddin would be proud
11:13 soccer players when an opponent doesn't even touch them:
Nice fab work dude! Do you plan on adding anti intrusion bars to the floor board?
Those tubs are hugee
I know it a little 2 late a old hotrod trick was to use a metal wheelbarrow for tubs ect perfect once it cut up
Looking good!
The spacers from FDF go on the bottom side of the shock tower
Box flairs in the drift truck would a AMAZING.
Yo imagine parallel parking that bad boi
Just an idea why not tach the bolt head to the frame so all you really gotta do is slide the k member on and attach the nut or vice versa so it can be a little easier to deal with
So satisfying
The new Nissan suspension places the wheels much further away from the cab. I doubt they would of contacted the wells. Also adding the tub on the driver side will definitely be weird once he gets the pedals in as it won't be centered
