I am 81 yr. old and I used to take a lot of short cuts when I was welding-tacking and grinding. So the only way to say this is ( Safety is always first, shortcuts are very long cuts if you are injured or lose an eye or a limb, God forbid. Always use jack stands before climbing under any auto or truck. I do not want to see any of you hurt or injured. I enjoy your videos, and your knowledge to much to lose them. Only an old man trying to pass some real knowledge.
If only older men could tell younger men things and they would always listen with the gravity they should! But they won't until... It's just the way it is and has been since Christ was a cowboy, unfortunately...
@MadeinTN Hard learned lessons are well learned lessons, but losing an eye or a finger or worse is too hard a lesson to learn if you can avoid it. But what do I know? I was one of those young fellas that actually listened to older guys, especially if they were missing a finger or an eye! :)
Fred Chase great comments, unfortunately in this age wisdom is shrugged off as ‘safety Sally’ by this generation, they have to find out the hard way unfortunately. Grinders without guards, no PPE (eye protection, boots, log pants and sleeves, dust masks etc) it’s all ‘too hard’. These channels have a chance to set a standard yet prefer to look cool, mess around and take short cuts. It’s the ‘young... I am bullet proof mentality’. Us old and more experienced can save them time and pain and possibly stop them killing them selves if only they would not be to proud to listen.
This is in Tokyo, Japan, just before 6 o'clock in the morning. I'm looking at your VID as I prepare to go to work. It seems that the work is proceeding smoothly, I am very surprised that you made your own roll cage. I'm looking forward to the Mustang too. My request is to add subtitles so I can watch the video in more detail. I'm not good at English.
Hey all guys working with hazardous equipment, please protect yourself from injury at all times. Shortcuts can be lethal. Why chance it. Great builds, keep up the good work, a real credit to all in the shop.
Think I would feel very safe under that roll cage. Great job. Not so sure about the start of the video though...working on a car with no axle stands and just a trolley jack....bit dubious!!! However altogether a huge improvement in the video presentation..class work! Cheers, Bob
It's just the body. Now if it was fully assembled with engine, etc - yeah - there would no doubt be stands. I don't think he was much concerned as it was though.
@@totalyep I know, right? When he was 1st discussing the build, I thought he said he was going to run a diagonal all the way to the floor on the passenger side - and when he was welding it up, I thought to my self, what about the remaining piece crossways to the floor? Apparently he forgot that.
Mike .R. Frankly it’s probably fine but no one would certify that cage assuming all else was good and if the wreck is bad it will parallelogram in a rollover so why not add 10 lbs more steel.
@@totalyep yeh i doubt a track scrutineer would pass that. although it is technically a 4 point i feel like it needs a full diagonal brace as well and maybe a cross bar connecting the bottoms of 2 rear struts as well near the clamps. i'd even diagonally reinforce the 2 back bars as well myself.
Camera Work and Video editing has indeed improved a Lot 👍 whats Up with the haircut? Lost a bet or is that the new chic with the young folk 😅 keep Up the good Work and thanks for frequently producing good content 😊
Found myself skipping alot through the video now, don't really feel like watching grinding for 5 mins. Should just make those parts shorter. But the general video is getting way better! Keep going
Your doing a phenomenal job! I have one suggestion when separating the tie rod end from the spindle, try one solid wack to the side of the spindle where the tie rod goes in, it shocks the tie rod and 9 times out of ten, just pops out. Try it. I've been a flat rate tech for 45 years, and has worked for me.
Love watching your work but that cage just doesn't look right mate, it needs to be alot tighter fitting to the B pillars and roof. The idea is to get it as snug as possible so the car doesn't cave in on you.
You need those few inches to absorb the impact. If the cage is flush with the roof his body would absorb the full force of the impact instead of the roof. You actually want the padding during the impact.
Nice job fitting the tubes. However that cage is useless if you don’t run a diagonal from the base of the hoop up to the center. It will turn into a parallelogram in a rollover otherwise. Also certified cages are supposed to be TIG welded.
Agree. Theres a few different videos on TH-cam about bending a main hoop that a great. I got my first roll cage touching the body in all 4 corners just by watching Urchfabs videos on measuring bends. Its super simple to do the main hoop and rear kickers. The front of the cage is the really hard part. But he also wants it removable for whatever reason so more clearance needed
Good idea to wear safety glasses when using the drill press, so that you don't get bits of metal in your eye. You should also be using hearing protection when using power tools, because over time you will damage your hearing. Take it from someone who's been there, done that. Looking forward to more progress. All the best from Queensland Australia.
About the rollcage, i'm not an expert or a fabricator, but i've watched a lot of builds and i know that you shouldn't bolt a rollcage to sheet metal floor on a car, you should make a base plate/box with stronger metal, weld it to the car and then bolt the rollcage to that base plate/box
Possibly invest in a milling machine, carbide hole saws and end mill tooling. Duplicating brackets and drilling would be much easier, that is if you continue to do custom cars. Kudos to you for learning new skills under the microscope. Keep up the great work!
I’m so surprised you don’t use air tools more , rather than battery ones . I’m amazed the drilled isn’t dead with drilling that tubing . Love your builds , keep it up 👍
Heaps safer than not having a roll cage. Before you paint it you could consider adding a properly positioned harness bar. Ideally it will be higher than your shoulders so that your spine is not compressed during an impact. You will also find that positioning it at least 6 or 8 inches behind the main hoop provides room for the harness mounting and adjustment hardware. You did say that the horizontal bar that you installed is the mounting point for your harness, but if you test fit a seat and harness you will be able to see if the existing horizontal bar is high enough or far enough back to satisfy the requirements that I mentioned.
I figured that you would have drilled a large hole in the plates for the roll cage to fit in and then weld it on top and bottom. I would think that would have given it more rigidity because the cage would be in between the plate itself also.
Hey Ben, regarding the strength and protection the roll cage has to have... It's best to bolt or weld it to the frame not the floor pan. Also, check the support design nascar uses to ensure the driver is fully protected in a roll over. Right now you have no driver door protection and integrity strength on the right side. Build it to withstand a high speed impact and rollover that will save your life.
Great work man but I would be wearing a respirator for sanding grinding and spraying you are going to regret it in later life. Coming from someone who used to be metal worker.
@@Kent. I was thinking the same. Best a tight fit with the body and then weld all together. Also reinforce the floor until the firewall, even to the socks.
Good start on the cage, but make sure that harness bar is at shoulder level. You want the harness to go back, not down. We have a few videos on a full drag cage if you need ideas, the principal is very similar.
Im pretty Sure that V-Tuned has ADD. You can tell by watching him work. He is just all over the place even when he sands or even something as simple as using a spray can. I wish he would get back on the Mustang
Most Racing clubs require the main hoop diagonal to be one piece bar that goes all the way from the upper corner to the opposite lower corner of the cage. The shoulder harness bars are the ones that are cut. The diagonal bar is very important if you roll your car. But if you aren't planning on racing it really isn't a big concern (you'd be in a ridiculous expensive racing class anyway, having the V8 swap).
Hope you are going to put a crossbrace between the two down pieces coming off the main hoop as that will add a lot more lateral strength to it. You only have to look at modern rally cars to see how strong they are. Great work though
The Raptor lining looks a little thin on the floor...I did Raptor liner on my son's Jeep Wrangler and I did 3 full coats in order to get the best coverage. Good job on the roll cage for your first time...have built many race cars...just assisted my buddy with the cage part...and you are on the right track...
Vtuned is definitely now my favorite channel, and I'm glad to see his subscription number growing, now a very healthy number. I wish he'd use eye protection more, certainly using the drill press with metal spirals spinning off. Even if it's a pseudonym, I suggest he give out a name. We need something to call him by.
Can't see for sure, but your tubing looks seam welded You should always use DOM tubing for a cage. It's much stronger, but as long as you are not racing the car, should be OK.
Great series. One thing... you should wear some kind of hearing protection. Take it from someone who has ringing in their ears from grinding on metal. It's not fun.
Love this channel and build, but def get some input / mentoring from one of the local race / chassis shops on the cage; you guys no doubt have relationships to leverage so learn it once and then just keep repeating
The floor plates should have the tube through the plate and weld top and bottom. If you weld on top of plate they are not strong and will not pass any track inspection. Just a tip from an old racer.
No, it doesn't. You can have as much as 20 degrees of downward angle from your shoulders to the mounting point and you'd still be safe. Stop spreading misinformation.
I don't want to sound like "that guy", but dude wear some safety glasses with that plasma torch. I know a guy that has one super messed up eye (looks like a white eyeball with a black jelly bean in it) and he can't see anything out of it, all cause he caught a piece of slag from a plasma torch in it
For your first cage its not bad, but your measurments for the main loop you could have come a bit tighter to the body. Also those rear arms that attach to the trunk metal, I would redo that and have the two bars go under to the rear tubs. Ive actually built a full 6 point cage for e30, if you plan to just keep it as a roll bar then the main hoop is fine. But if you do a roll cage with 6 points you will have trouble with that loop too small for the upper legs. You can get away with building a roof U bar to the hoop and then put the legs on that.
here is a small suggestion for the roll cage, make the rear part (where the rear seat was) bolt on, it could make your job allot easier, removing it and even powder coating it...
Enjoying the progress on the car, its gonna be a monster. I am surprised that you don't wear eye protection when using a drill press, and other tools. Please be safe and also set an example for your followers.
I would absolutely put on the wide M3 fenders on this project. Dont do generic fender flares. If you want to go really wide cut the M3 fenders and weld in some extra strips.
Awesome V-tuned you are a true master of your craft. For the 1st time you look professional at your best! Looking forward to the LS1 engine drop. Stay Tuned to V-Tuned!
just stop... he is no where near a master at anything. his "roll cage" is a useless disaster. among other things. he has talent but he needs to slow down and do things correct.
Bro you are Genius in Mechanical engineering you will do the best BMW modification in old school, you can put a led stripes inside on the back sit plus do a good sound system with woofer it will be fantastic good sound + led stripes inside but outside a classic bmw
It is,I've said that before ,I live in the UK and BMW,s the same age and model as this have been scrapped a long time ago ,this is a totally solid car 👍

Wouldn't you want it to fit up a lot better than that?
Nathaniel Mathies no bc I want space to add interior, and it’ll be easier to remove for him
Lol why not pinned
Search for the BOQUINHA channel from Brazil. He just ended one E30 right now in his channel! Prepared for drift! Amazing job u too!
I feel like that’s main hoop should have been way tighter too the body.No??
body.yes??
Agreed. Maybe he made it smaller for ease of removal.
Perhaps he's planning on installing a headlining.
Yeah I would say so but building custom fit cage is a lot harder than he’s making it look. Pretty nice job for a first time!
Personal preference.
I tuck it in close to the body so its easy to get in and out, since vTuned is only 4'5" he could run a little more clearance.

Good start on the cage, but make sure that harness bar is at shoulder level. You want the harness to go back, not down. We have a few videos on a full drag cage if you need ideas, the principal is very similar.

You work your ass off every episode and I love it dude. Awesome to see as always.
So talented and skilled but need to protect the eyes when welding. Cant wait for your next video and the mustang too! Keep up the great work! 👍
Don't sell yourself short , the clearance could be tighter , but your overall work is better than most of the pre bent cages you can buy .
Helpful tip - use E30 balljoints with that E36 suspension. The E30 balljoints are built better.
You done a good job of it .stop putting yourself down fella well done 👍👍👍

race inspector not accept this bolt shit system, its only toy car own user backyard user car, not newer can go to race because inspector say "go out"
Makes it all look so easy
the 2nd bar you made *harness bar* it needs to be even with your shoulders or in case of an accidend it will rip your shoulder off
Totally true, in case of accident, it will produce a down force on your shoulders as it is lower to them. Be careful man !
Do you know a lot about accidents? Just wondered cause you cannot spell it !!
Steve Whyte - he’s worried about saftee and you’re worried about spelling.
No, it doesn't. You can have as much as 20 degrees of downward angle from your shoulders to the mounting point and you'd still be safe. Stop spreading misinformation.
Zac I don’t understand what you mean, you mean a rear end collision or what?
