is this build canceled? literally no updates for months!

I hope this gets finished at some point

Get back on this. The boat is cool. But we come to your channel for car builds.

As a Formula student guy looking at that main hoop: "wait, that's illegal"

[@nicholaszammit8273]

@@cptnscoob formula student is an international competition where university students build single seater race cars to strict safety and technical rules. One of them is that the main hoop must be one continuous bent piece of metal tubing of certain thickness. Non compliance leads to competition disqualification.

@@nicholaszammit8273 Sounds like the main hoop in roll cages for drag cars too. Needs to be one piece of continuous pipe in order to get NHRA certified.

[@RetrowaveUniverse]

true I was in FSAE too, and my brain is like why's everything in this car seems XL size? and the cage design is so inefficient, haha but u know what its Chris's build he can do what he wants. I can design a better chassis for that same car, lighter, stronger and looks better haha.

[@martinbernath]

Dont need to be in fsae to know that main hoop is just wrong. Not only it would be stronger if it was one piece but it would also look better since it seems like this thing is all about looks. He has a tube bender, a really good one, no idea why he hasnt used it on this build.

[@dbgmedia7222]

The cage in the front seems very unsafe in a roll over situation instead of a triangle which is strong the whole front cockpit is only squares and would be dangerous if the car flipped upside down and got stuck and folded the cage over like a parallelogram

[@e36fanatics]

Dude... This is b is for build... Most cars built on this channel are death traps

[@Shane-em6cu]

Any new news on this build?

[@martinbernath]

The more i watch this the more dissapointed i am. First the extremely long wheelbase, then the ladder frame with corvette suspension and now the 5 piece main hoop.. This thing wont only be ridiculously heavy, it will also be dangerous, but i guess it doesnt matter since he wont drive it anyway. The idea is good, but the execution.. It pays off to do some research before you start welding square tubes together. Look at all the tube frame cars, old f1 cars, fsae cars, theres not an inch of square tubing. One of the best things about building a single seatee from scratch is that you can design your own suspension geometry, car suspension is restricted by the width of frame rails etc. Corvette suspension, as good as it might be for a car, a custom suspension with longer arms would be way better. And that main hoop is just illegal. Yes, i havent built anything like this, but i dont build things if i dont know how to build them.

[@keksie_channel]

i put a 6 month timer for this project and we had no new episode on this man that makes me sad. well see you in another 6 i guess

A battleship-worth of steel. May be better suited as a Burning Man kinetic art project?

[@markclark250]

Compared to a Corvette it won't be heavy at all.

[@jacobdavis787]

Mark Clark bet it weighs the same when all is done. There’s a reason why steel isnt the main material used to build fast cars

[@calt2161]

That rear hoop seems like an unnecessarily dangerous corner to cut when a bender can easily make that curve.

[@davelangford2439]

He could have bent 2 halves and then welded them together which would have been a lot stronger than having it in 5 pieces.

[@STRGHTSXBNZ]

It will add some extra ketchup when the welds break during said impact and splices open his neck

[@weatheranddarkness]

@@davelangford2439 that would maybe be better in a vertical inversion test but having a mig weld at the peak load part of a safety structure is verbotten in every situation where such things are counted.

[@bibinvarkey1408]

Remember to make sure the clearance holds after the power train adds.

[@milothetinker]

I'm just a carpenter but if I was doing that, I know that triangles make things strong.. I'd add a diagonal brace in that little box in the front on each side, a cross member in the front where it flattens out, a diagonal brace horizontally in that box I just created, and a small brace from where the hard to get into bar hits the roll bar back to the back brace of the roll bar.

[@qmmadi]

Oscar will be proud of you. Nice welds

[@ghomerhust]

youre probably way beyond reading this comment where it could be helpful, but i highly recommend putting small gussets in the body portion of the cage/frame, check with "go power sports" to get an idea of what im talking about. itll add HUGE strength to your cockpit in the case of a crash from any direction. we use them on heavy duty go karts to increase the frame strength in HUGE ways.

[@cosmicrahal6014]

It’s so intriguing to me that someone can build their own super car. Looking forward to all your videos!

[@americankiwi]

To everyone saying that it will be to heavy there are a ton of power mods for the LS and you could easily get 600-700 reliably

[@thisguyg3005]

Great job...u can bent the last two bars in the back to hug the engine..😉

May can enter this into a go cart race . Should win 😂 kinda wish it would have been more practical tho. Strictly a race car. Love the fact tho its getting built from scratch

[@kylederry6565]

Looks like main hoop needs to be a bit taller to have clearance for a helmet so if it flips your helmet isn't scrapping the ground

[@kemperkrumplifortnite2493]

Any chance to get an update on it?

[@royaloreca]

So glad you said this was an apocalypse build and not a Motorsports build, otherwise you would have a bunch of people complaining about why you are using cut instead of bent pipe,...

I get this an apocalypse theme project but that thing looks like a deathtrap 😂 hoping that this is just a show car. Cant imagine doing anything other than driving straight with that narrow wheel base. Love the grind though

[@Blurgamer17]

Looks like there are a LOT of comments regarding the safety and overall style of the build vs Expectations. So, I'll say what I think about the build: -Judging from the natural (Estimated) turning circle of that Cadillac-sized frame, you REALLY shouldn't be trying to fit an LS in the back of this thing, as it's causing unnecessary length requirements to fit it. -Steel tubing is just making this thing look like it's supposed to be a single-man military cruiser meant to take an IED impact (Don't know if this is what you're looking for in this build). Still, I would go for something lighter like Stainless/Titanium/Carbon Fiber rods to reduce the Glaring weight issue of the current state of the build, take into mind that this is BEFORE you add the cross-bracing, mechanical/electrical internals and the ~200Kg V8 in the back. Just want to look into that bit before it's too late. *-That hoop design. You should've designed it with the intention of making it a single, bent Metal hoop, right from the get-go.* -Everything design-wise with this project right now screams 'ramp-car disaster' waiting to happen. Add a HALO ring around your head or lose it in a crash. Make weight reduction by bending the chassis tubes (This point is stated above) or risk SUV characteristics in any Hairpin. Add Dimpled plates with the cross-bracing to amplify the rigidity or watch it fold from the center overtime. If anything, send any design you make to an FIA team and see what changes they make to adhere to the safety regulations on a track. Because it will almost look like they threw yours out the nearest window with where it's at. Gotta give you props though for how far you've come and how much progress you've already made. But _Please, don't take it anywhere other than SEMA_ (On a trailer of a Lifted truck) or McDonalds until you sort those underlying issues out before you risk it all in a Trackday Coffin, with your measurements, at Laguna Seca or Willow Springs!

[@AhmedAli-lk7qp]

Us: what about blindspots and visibility Chris: yes

[@backyardmechanicrestoratio6958]

I think this could be the next bat mobile 😂 would be cool tho

[@charliepaultompodung5153]

That frame really looks so heavy.

[@tomrockholm-timeless_morph6691]

Hard to tell from the video but I hope you’re clipping your wire before each weld so you’re not causing large cold starts. At least that’s what I was taught from I-CAR for my welding certification. Something to think about if you haven’t been starting each weld with a fresh wire.

[@telemproswensleet.5046]

[@johannor7450]

Can you wheigh the whole frame? I am really interested.

[@jacobtighe3234]

My only concern is the triangulation of the cage. You're using a lot of boxes, and not a lot of triangles. I would urge you to reinforce the sides of the main body with alternating diagonal pieces like the Ariel Atom so you have a lot more rigidity. Also, that hoop looks ready to crush at any moment. Please consider a single piece mandril bent square hoop with at least one crosspiece behind the seat so that the integrity of the structure is somewhat rooted in science, rather than your confidence in oscar's welding ability

[@MRTAXC]

Man you need a bigger shop

[@exportedafrican]

Replace that main hoop with a single continuous piece. What you have isn’t safe

[@nunoduraes6623]

Just hope you fit some r8 v10 on that at least 😉

[@mre797]

ha ha .. this reminds me of the time i helped paint my brothers car with a paint roller.. this guy should stick to his office job and leave the mechanical stuff to those who are capable.. its all good though whatever floats your boat my friend \

[@hashemh5292]

man why the so long wheel base ? push the rear wheel suspension a bit further to the center of the chassis and keep the engine/trans setup a bit more closer to the center of the chassis too . it is fine to have the engine close to the cockpit , AND PLEASE Buy a pipe bender instead of cutting alot of pipes and welding them together

[@balcorn9211]

(I have no idea what I'm talking about) But the top bars at the front of the car just seem to sit on top of the structure. Wouldn't it be better to take that pipe all the way down to the frame rail?

Will be very surprised if the chassis doesnt bend when you install the engine, etc.

[@nyeeeeeee9346]

ok i have a few questions 1. why is the wheelbase so long? secondly none of that looks safe

[@PatrickJRoland]

I still feel like you didn’t give enough thought about the gear box. Where will it be? Especially if it’s manual transmission.

[@Gkitchens1]

Your feet are going ot ne so close to the front suspension itll break your legs in a bad frontal impact. Not a long of give in that front suslbframe 👀 hopefully your structural work and design goes off really well, it'll make all the difference there.
