  • On this episode of The Fab Forums I TIG weld together some strut supports on the foxbody mustang hot rod build. I made a little more progress, I hope you dig it.

    Welcome to The Fab Forums. My name is Kyle Voss and I am a automotive fabricator that produces Custom Automotive Fabrication content of all kinds. Including Carbon Fiber, TIG Welding, Metal Shaping, Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, Custom Choppers, and everything in between. I work hard to bring you new content on a weekly basis.
    Here are some of the builds you can find on this channel.
    I have built several Chevy trucks. The first was my 1964 C10 named Crown Spoyal and the most recent C10 truck project was the 1969 I recently sold to a friend named the Black Pearl.
    I am also finishing up a custom twin turbo Ford Mustang build I call the Gray Goose. It’s a 400 cubic inch Windsor style engine with twin 70mm turbos. I am hoping to make around the 1000 horsepower mark to the tires on this particular build.
    Last but not least is the one off custom hot rod build called the Bibbster. This is what I call a modern day hot rod. It’s made from an old Ford Mustang foxbody, but made to look like an old school open wheeled hot rod.
    I also feature other fabricators and shops like Cutworm Specialties hand formed aluminum wide body kit for a BMW e46. Jeb Greenstone has also built a twin turbo, coyote powered model A style hot rod from scratch, and is currently building a Toyota TE72 wagon drift car powered by a 1UZ Lexus v8. Jeb’s custom fabrication skills are fun to watch and always make for good videos.

      great to see progress on the bibbster! i want to express my concerns with the "strut bar" and how they are integrated with the turbo mount which then looks tied to the engine. with the forces of the suspension and any aggressive cornering, the engine and the turbo mount will be the parts taking the beating. i would recommend designing a bar to go from one "strut tower" to the other. that way it'll act as a true strut bar and the forces that are applied to it are isolated. however, you did mention that the front is likely to change as the build progresses. just my thoughts. can't wait to see more videos on this build!!

    The bore offset is appoximately the width of the big ends - Big End Width: 21.11mm/0.831".
    The actual head offset to machined faces will be fairly close to that.

    The tighter you get those strut towers bound together, the better. At least in cornering.

      none of the upper tubes will ever move its all solid mounted by design, no different than a traditional strut tower on a modern car except I just made everything out of tubes. The lower a arms are the only thing that move. The hydraulic cylinder will be the strut and spring in one with the help of some accumulators.

    • @DodgyBrothersEngineering
      @DodgyBrothersEngineering 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Thefabforums I was speaking with a friend of mine at length about it since he has designed a number of chassis, and he is my go to guy for anything suspension related, and we both had concerns about the heim joints near the engine breaking at the threads. The biggest concern is the two non equidistant heim joints at the bottom (of the top arm at the firewall) are going to cause a rotational twist on that arm, since the whole arm is just like a massive breaker bar with a pivot point.
      Upward force on the tyre from a road bump is going to act like a multiplier at those heim joints since the top arm is going to act like a meter long lever. And while the heim joints would ordinarily allow a certain amount of rotational movement on a single pivot point, having two different axis locked (from the point of inertia) is going to cause them to bind and twist at the weakest point the heim joints. The reason most lower A arms are on the same plane (basically you can put one long bolt through both mount holes) is to stop this rotational twist / binding. They don't have to be absolutely symmetrical from the point of inertia (although desirable) but they do need to be on the same plane.
      The best example I can think of is a motorbike rear swing arm... Now it doesn't matter if it is a conventional arrangement, or a single sided swing arm like on a lot of Ducati's, that doesn't matter, but what does matter is at the other end where they mount. Usually motorbikes have a long single bolt that goes through both mounting holes, now imagine you keep both holes parallel but you shorten or lengthen one of the swing arm legs by a couple of inches. Even though they are parallel they are no longer rotating in the same plane and will bind and try to rotate around the new axis between them. Even if you didn't want the swing arm to move, let's say we decide to make it a rigid. So we replace the shock with a solid bar. The twist force on the rear trailing arm will still be there even though the swing arm can no longer move, we have built the stress point into the design.
      The top arms you just fitted to stop the sideways movement adds a third axis on which it is trying to rotate at the same time. Heim joints work well under compression or tension, but are prone to failure when placed in a sideways sheer situation. The top arm lower heim joints are subject to this, but no where near as much as those new bracing pieces will be.
      The top arms will move under driving conditions, there is just too much mechanical leverage for them not to. It may not be that much, or that obvious (without measuring deflection during driving conditions) but it will cause movement and fatigue over time. The new shorter arms don't have the length of tube to absorb the twist as much as the top arms, and the heim joint seems more predispositioned to sheer.

      everything is designed to be solid. none of the upper bars and heims will be moving. Think of it just like a traditional strut tower on a modern car but made with heims and tubes.

      I think that's the special fusion tack setting he has on his welder. He talked about it in a recent video.

      It's the tack feature the Magicwave has. It basically flutters the arch for a specified amount of time.

    I think this is a cool idea, but what does have me puzzled is that the movement from the motor will flex the suspension angles and is not suitable for driving, especially if its got anything but solid motor mounts. even with solid mounts there will be a lot of stress and flex you wont see until you drive it.
