2019 RAM Build Crushable Metal Body 1/18

Foil parts I made before had folds. These parts are seamless and have complex shape.
I want factory made crushable metal parts. Such as a batch of 10 fenders that can be bought, crushed and replaced.

[@neobaggins3718]

This is amazing. I’m now imagining how it would bring a new dimension to RC rock crawling vs a more durable custom piece, or worse, a vaccuformed shell that can be cheaply replaced. You’d drive this thing like a really car because it has real risk of damage, and clearly took a ton of work to make (although, damaged panels could be replaced so it’s not a case of never wanting to risk using it) also, scratches, dings and dents will add a whole new level of story to the truck as it ages, something that previously had to be simulated during the build process.

[@robertrosson5476]

Agree all the dings and dents will give it even more character as well

I watched this guy a long time ago and I finally found this channel again trust when I say he makes some pretty damn good stuff and nice ram

[@cougarfarmer]

I have always wanted to build two cars, out of aluminum foil, in great detail like this and slam them into each other. There is beauty in destruction. It is the used car look in Star Wars, where the ships always look dirty, scratched up and dented. I have used aluminum foil to make seabox cargo container models. They are easier to modify than the styrene HO scale ones, that double as a plug to make the metal ones. I did this when I was designing a cargo container house design for a client. It is an absolute joy to watch this video. Nobody running there neck, telling you the obvious as they build their model. No goofy flute music from their nephew. Just a master model builder and the sounds that he makes as he get lost in another world of his own. Great Video. You Sir are my hero.

[@blaccteezy]

That’s about how thin and bendable my actual RAM is. You lean on it, it’s got a new shape.

[@mopedmarathon]

When I read crushable I thought this was some kind of rc car that would suffer realistic damage. Not sure why I jumped to that conclusion but I think it would be cool. Edit. after watching, if those panels were damaged I’d be heartbroken. Truly stunning work sir.

[@richardcox82]

I too thought I came across crash test science. I would make 2, and crash one for the views. But I'm not a youtuber

Crushing handmade panels would be crazy, but if these were mass produced and cheap it opens up some really interesting possibilities.

[@thisolesignguy2733]

This is 1000x better than I was expecting. I thought this was going to be like those aluminum foil cars that I used to play with when I was a kid. I don't know if anyone remembers those Stomper monster truck derby kits where you can make your own aluminum foil cars to have your Stompers drive over them? I know it's way back in the day, but nothing beats Stompers, I wish someone would bring them back. I really miss those.

I think this technique might be interesting using multiple layers of a thinner foil laminated with some type of light adhesive just prior to pressing. The complex shapes may take with less force and greater detail without manual effort.

Insane amount of detail. Blows my mind. I'm working on a disign for a steel body 1:10 scale rc car. But it is really hard building from scratch.

[@tristanphillips8937]

I could be wrong but I work with stainless steel foil a lot and that’s what this seems like. More specifically it’s called tool wrap, it’s a foil used for heat treating to prevent oxidation because aluminum foil would melt.

[@maxboonkittypoison]

@@tristanphillips8937 That would be a good idea. But i can't use stainless steel because i want my car body to rust a bit. But there is also something like steel foil But only company's can buy that stuf here in the Netherlands. So i have to wait until i have started my own business.

[@tristanphillips8937]

@@maxboonkittypoison yeah I mean I’d bet you can get it to rust though with some weak acid, when I heat it up it gets a really thick layer of black oxide. Just saying no steel (well very very few) is truly stain-PROOF just stain-LESS.

[@chriswilliams644]

This guy is the reason we CAN have nice things

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

Nice work, it's surprising that a c-clamp was enough for that. Grab yourself a woodworking vise so you can put even pressure over the entire mold/die, it might reduce the need to bone in those details. If you make some of the sharper areas a little deeper and taller than they need to be, it's possible to eliminate detailing after the press...especially if you use a harder wood for your mold like oak or walnut rather than pine plywood. For such small pieces, I bet just using a thick enough piece of rubber with a steel press plate behind it would give you exact forming down to the last detail, might need to upgrade your c-clamps to a small hydraulic press though.

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

Or just a bottle jack. Lever vise. Proofing press from lithography. Many ways to squeeze things.

[@thomasbrock1215]

[@oliverscorsim]

Man I worked at a resto mod shop and we had this body guy that a few times a week would have a few too many beers at lunch come back with a 12pack and get to drinking. Then he'd stop working on the actual car we were working on and get his little hammers out and cut the cans up and make him bodies for his rc cars. But so detailed it blew my mind when I first saw it so much so I didnt even bother him about it😂. What really blew my mind was hed make the inner structures and everything then crash them.. his reasoning was it would crash right 😂. He was really good too like made some of your parts look rough and he did them without the molds in no time.

[@DirtyDovi]

Good question, I was curious about that too.. [My mind also jumped straight to stainless steel foils]] Stainless Steel foils usually range from like 0.002mm to 0.15 'Soft annealed' being the most pliable Thinner would be nice for the extremely detailed panels [More cosmetic and never/rarely touched after shaped] Thicker would be nice for the larger 'structural' panels.. [Floor pan, main body, hood, roof, doors, bed, etc] It'd be cool to use this method to fab a firetruck.. then paint it, and get crazy accenting the exterior with gold leaf.

[@tristanphillips8937]

@@DirtyDovi yeah, stuff gets expensive though so I wouldn’t get every size. It does work harden and even the thin stuff is really thick. Be careful though if it’s too thin it very easily will tear if you try to stretch it too far

No there is a ton of work that goes into alignment and fit.
