Thank you so much for your video and channel! It’s so easy for guys to say the material and size used- but they DON’T for some reason. You DID, and it’s a huge timesaver! Again, greatly appreciated 😎
Mario Munoz I used 2”. I went to harbor freight and bought 2 engine stands. I put the back wheels on and nothing on the front. By doing that the engine mount will be level to the earth and just weld in the center piece of box tubing. I also extended the back of the engine stands where the wheels went so it won’t tip over. Sorry for the delay been busy
353/5000 good morning dear friend very good your channel would like to know what diameter of tubbo you use to reinforce the chassis and what thickness of how many millimeters, and that you suggest me to reinforce a chassis of malibu more than everything in the area of the cradle of the engine contracts the chassis closes a bit what ideas can you suggest my dear .. and I await your response
DJ ANDREW torres on the rear round dom tubing I used 4.7625 mm thickness and 1 1/2 tube. In the tube closest to the body I used 3.175 mm thickness tubing and 1 1/2 inch. For all the rest of the medal the thickness is also 3.175 mm
Did you get your rims and tires combo ? I notched the frame and removed 1 1/2 for wheel tubs to try to get the biggest rubber I can run? Thanks for sharing your bracing!
Ronald Lewis not yet. They make a tool that mounts to the wheel studs that can get you the widest wheel and also finds the offset and back spacing. As long as you have the body in the car. Thanks a lot for watching
paul87buick thanks!. You gotta start with the right tool. Don’t get a harbor freight crappy welder. Get a Lincoln electric 180 or better. Gotta get good penetration. Home Depot has it for $699. Thanks for liking and watching
Welding isn't just about looks. It's about penetration. You can have a bead that looks perfect but if it didnt penetrate the metal, the weld is useless. I feel like most people go by the looks
I'm a certified welder. Your welds look fine. You're probably using a small 220 welder so you can't expect them to look like a top dollar machine. When you are welding, pull the arc all the way out of the puddle so it cuts a crater into where you are headed with the weld. Some say push the arc, some say pull, so just whatever works for you. Just don't leave any gas holes or porosity. Cut out porosity and reweld it. Just some tips. Notch the hell out of it. Throw a 10" wheel under it if your building a drag/prostreet car. They just look good like that.
Thank you for the idea of tying in the spring buckets on the frame. Have you had this chassis performing on the street or track? What hp are you running and how did this help with grip / chassis loading (g body shuffle)
God damn that frame rotisserie made out of two engine stands is a fucking brilliant idea

Home made rotisserie haha.. genius man.
87national thanks bro
Stop being hard on yourself, there's nothing wrong with those welds.
Nice. At one point I had my car body on its side on tires to fix the floor
Nice video man. What size of square tubing did you use for your Rotisserie I'm in the process of making one.

Won't then tubs get moisture in them and fill up with water? The ones that's welded all the way around. No drains so win they freez they will split
Looking good so far
Welds look nice hope I can weld that good

I have purchased a Eastwood 175 haven't used it yet. haven't got the gas i want to do the frame one my grand national
Do it bro! Take lots of video! Lol. Have you welded before?
No just some oxy acetylene welding 20 plus years ago

dro sedo that was my first time welding too lol
Keep up the good work bro

Unfortunately I haven’t finished the car yet it’s still sitting in my garage. I’m just finishing up on the steering links. And the rear axle.
Welds aren't that great! 🤣 that is one humble man.. awesome welds bro 👍
Thanks lol. With all these videos of welders showing their welds all perfect. Lol yeah mines weren’t that good.
This looks good bro!
noneofficial305 thanks.in about a week I'll be boxing in the frame rails. I'll put up a video soon as I'm done
That’s a bet man when I start mine I’m going to ask for your assistance lol
How long did you have to cut each pipe?
I honestly don’t remember. I just bout like 20 feet lol and cut as I went thru
If I remember I mounted the 2x2 tubing at each end. Then I mounted each engine stand on to them. Then I measured the gap to get the length
Oh ok...did it feel like it helped with the way it ride?iam thinking doing it to my regal
@@985boi2 lol the frame is just sitting in my garage. Putting it back together. Waiting on parts
Oh ok thought you had it going by now
