Bespoke Hand Built Sheet Metal Dash - Ranger Build EP13

[@JohnnyChimpo907]

This channel gets quiet sometimes, but the instant you guys post something I get excited. Regular dudes putting out high quality work and doing it right at home like a lot of folks. You guys are the ones who taught me how swingset steering works! Thanks for all the great content you’ve put out.

[@lessthanscientific724]

This is exactly why it's my favorite channel. It's guys building high quality work that try to remember to film stuff when they can, for the sole purpose of helping others build fun shit.

[@Odins-Dad]

This build is sick guys! Christian, you've got some fabrication talent man. Wish there was more footage of the work being done, but I understand that it adds a lot of time and work to do that, so I'll take what I can get, and I really enjoy these walk around videos. I'm always excited to see you guys have uploaded, and I'm looking forward to seeing the update on the rear! Keep on Keep'n on guys!

So did Ryan win the lottery? 😂. This truck is incredible.

[@pwatkins70]

the purple degreaser is the only thing that has ever worked for to clean my white fiberglass fenders. that stuff is magic

[@JacksonD489]

I've gotta admit.. the WING brothers are stepping up their game! Excellent workmanship guys... This is one of the best looking Danger Ranger's I've seen, and I'm OLD, so I've seen a lot! Keep up the good work lads...

[@SHFabrication]

Mr clean magic eraser will change your life. Haha use those to clean all the white stuff. Works great. Also great work guys. 👍🏻

[@7.3psd90]

That dash is insane how cool it looks!! You’ve mad skills!!

[@Jay-uh2jb]

Really love how you explain in some detail your fabrication techniques. Great for us amateur fabricators. This is something a lot of channels skip over. One thing...wish you had mentioned your fab technique to make the curved (radiused) edges on the console box.

[@RobertJuarez-zf1nh]

Cool video wing bros Rob from autofab

[@ChristianEwingVD]

Thank you Rob! Hope you're doing good

[@Innercityprintshop]

Awsome dash came out great can’t wait to start on my ranger im here in Massachusetts and will probably be the first out here with a pre runner love what u guys r doing!

[@hendo337]

That truck is outstanding, I just spent 8 months in Brazil and I saw a few crew cab Rangers in that body style down there...this is really making me want to buy one that 25 years old to import and build like this. I even have a roller cam 351w, rwd ZF-5 S47 trans and Sterling 10.25" rear in my front yard for it from my '97 F-250HD that unfortunately got wrecked...very inspirational stuff, built like a tank. You guys definitely have developed a ton of experience, accumulated the proper equipment, have learned how to engineer and assemble a quality truck.

[@TheChicagOP]

Love your guys explanation of travel number

[@coletonevans4384]

Super inspiring stuff! Gives me tons of ideas for my own interior build. Love the creativity with the build and seeing an in depth walkthrough with explaination of the elements is super helpful. Thanks yall, keep up the great work!

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

You guys are killing it! Becoming my favorite Ranger build. We'll thought out. Can we buy Vital design lids?

[@durtywood]

That Dash came out so good!

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Question. I've heard from other builders a wider front track width than the rear is more prone to roll overs when cornering. Seems counter intuitive but what are your thoughts?

[@Nickwillfixit]

Beautifully done a lot of thought and time has gone into this build. One question is there going to be any type of fire suppression system a build like this I would want to have a good system not just a couple of fire extinguishers, I would mount one at the front of both seats under the seat so easy to grab a couple of companies do some excellent mounts designed to mount to the seat mount brackets or adjuster rails.

[@jeffwooton7138]

Well thought out, well executed. Excellent work guys. Yall should be proud!

[@dirtydezertmind3033]

Dude you’re knocking it out of the park man killer job!🤘🏻

[@davidmays3333]

Beautiful work guys!!!!!

[@DIGGER19860]

try using tub of towels to get the finger prints off. they clean anything.

[@YWaitConsulting]

beautiful work!

[@MarkJones-sk6vk]

Looks great

[@RobertoMartinez-tm8xt]

Awesome job guys, do you guys work on personal vehicles? I have a 94 ford bronco that needs some work

[@BuildSomethingAuto]

Beautiful build, Christian does such high quality work. I've been following you guys for a while and love everything you do. Jake you still working on an engineering degree? If they do SAE baja competitions at your university I'd highly recommend it, you'd be a force to be reckoned with. I know those little buggies might be peanuts compared to what you're used to working on, but it does really help teach suspension and drivetrain design, fabrication techniques, designing to race rules, etc. If you ever want some input from another engineer, help with analysis/modeling, or just someone to bounce some ideas off of, I'd love to collaborate. Hit me up.

[@JD-ub5ic]

13:00 The right answer but for the wrong reasons 😅. Either way still a great build and design, so forgive my pedanticism. The heat transfer at this point is dominated by forced convection, the more air you can force through the radiator and up and out the better. Natural convection, the fact that hot air rises, becomes negligible once you start forcing a ton of air through. Also, stagnant hot air won't be what heat soaks the engine, not being able to shed enough heat through the radiator will. I know you were working on an ME degree, 3rd or 4th year you'll take heat transfer and learn all about this - at that point a few quick napkin calcs will show you the orders of magnitude difference in heat transfer between the engine not radiating heat as well due to sitting in stagnant hot air, vs how much heat gets shed through the rad. Additionally there's orders of magnitude difference in heat transfer between forced vs natural convection when you have a giant engine fan. That vent will definitely make a big difference since it will allow higher airflow through the rad (not because it removes heat from the engine bay, lower underhood temps is a bonus but not a big factor in overheating). If you do end up still having heat problems consider adding ducting to direct the air from the rad and up towards the vent. The easier path through the vent, and the higher the air velocity as it moves through the vent, the more the vent will help "suck" additional air through the radiator, the cooler it'll run. Without ducting directing the air, the air velocity will be low as the air will turbulently tumble where ever it wants to go all throughout the engine bay, out the fenders, etc, which means it won't be sucked through the rad as efficiently. Of course additional cooling may be unnecessary so ducting may be overkill.

Hell fucking yeaaa boy earning those shoes

[@nicksans5039]

Nice truck! The owner should of saved more for a new motors because this thing will be struggling almost everywhere.

[@yoringer]

Can you elaborate on the wirings courses? Where? When? Costs?

[@theryanweaverphoto]

HPA academy!

[@yoringer]

@@theryanweaverphoto thanks

Somebody get this guy a different shifter

[@linecrosser1738]

You spoke about online corses? Could you share what courses he is taking. I am interested for my build and learning my self.

[@theryanweaverphoto]

HPA academy! There is different levels of courses, I bought the beginner and club level course
