Car That Ate My Brain 2: Episode 12

[@kevincraw5142]

So glad to see you fellas have got another installment up online, Piero! Watching you and Lucky work is much more fun than wet-sanding my engine bay for the fifth time! And it's great to see somebody else overcoming the obstacles that ALWAYS crop up. (It's The Journey, not the End Point that makes these crazy projects so fun and satisfying. And yeah, occasionally so aggravating you gotta scream ;)) I test-fired the stroker I built w my buddy John, last week. Now if I can get it painted without losing my mind, I can start to put it back together for the last time, (I hope!) My best to you and your great crew.

Lucky is a wonderful fabercator his skills are amazing what a kool friend to have

[@formspimp]

Always fun hanging in Lucky’s garage and watching the build

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Yeah we have some good times :)

[@shotsrodder]

Great tips Lucky 👍 your friend is lucky to have you 😂 no pun intended 😎

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Just out enough to not catch the eye... maddening. Worse when you know somebody else knew about it ahead of you. Taking it in stride and moving forward like a boss ! Keep diggin' 👍

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Totally.. my buddy Mark didn’t know either.. he got it with a pile of parts and was still wrapped in the newspaper from the chromer.. it could even been dropped at the chromer during polishing 🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s all good! Got refunded and using that to chrome another ..

[@RustyOlive]

I swear! Every time I watch an episode. I think. This is way to short!! I wish this was a full feature document! I WANT MORE! Lol So sick! So jealous.. so hard!!

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Thanks man.. it’s funny cause my analytics says the drop off is around 12 minutes haha They are in a playlist so in theory you could watch them all in a row and it would be full length 😂

[@RustyOlive]

@@MADFABRICATORSTV what? Nooo? Some people just can’t appreciate the good sh$t when its right in front of them I guess. Maybe when the car is “done” … 🤣 I’ll go back and watch them all again. Lol Keep up the good work! Car and videos I’m looking forward to my new MFS shirts in the mail too.. super stoked

Just simply awesome. Thank you for taking us along for the build and upcoming ride. Just ordered some merch to support you and the channel. The hardest part of this is the wait for the next video/update on the progress. Keep moving forward!

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

[@r1lark]

Man, that sucks on the chrome banjo. Like you say, that's hot rodding. At least your buddies came thru on another one.

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Yeah totally sucks.. I actually had 2 others that we used for the internals so there was plenty of them just not chrome haha

[@JohnnyJalopyArt]

Noice.

[@TrashcanGarage]

😎👍

[@AndyGeesGarage]

Shame about that centre section. I’d be tempted to try straightening it using a port-a-power. Might crack it though Thanks for the update I haven’t abandoned mine just busy with a race car

[@Ecosse57]

get back on that t!

[@AndyGeesGarage]

@@Ecosse57 will be soon.

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Yeah wasn’t worth trying to make it round.. Chrome was so nice too that it would of totally of F’ed it up..

[@AndyGeesGarage]

@@MADFABRICATORSTV Lucky is right though it’ll make a cool lamp base or just hang it on the garage wall.

[@glassblastcollision]

Put a short ten ton hydraulic cylinder inside it and warm it up with just a heat gun and pay attention to the movement. It's not out that far from round. Steel it clay!

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Thanks but don’t want to risk damaging the chrome and I was refunded the money and sent it back :) easier to just get another one I have chromed..

[@grahamparr3933]

Will you get your money back on the chrome casing🤔

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Yes I did. Mark was defiantly cool about and had no idea it was not round. He got it from a pile of parts he bought off someone so he never used it.

[@jcerullo5015]

those tube welded to the torque tube

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Is that a question?

[@jcerullo5015]

@@MADFABRICATORSTV yes because I dont see a crossmember and not sure if it just camera angles

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Yes there’s a mount on the torque tube that’s how it is on the stock set up too..

[@bvcxz47]

at 9:23 that bearing looks pitted

[@anthonycarty9433]

Glad you mentioned that , all that effort to rebuild the axle and they used pitted bearings . Ho hum .

[@luckyburton4787]

Rollers on that bearing are just fine. Plenty of life left and no it’s not much effort.
