AGREED

[@evankirschenmann4653]

Your old editing laptop has lived a long, productive life. It's doing CAD now lol. Sick.

[@_Gingium_]

Its barely hanging in there lol

[@yeeterskeeter6565]

Yo Gingium, just wanted to let you know that I'm the fan you met at FD Atlanta after the podium show on Saturday, and it genuinely made my month. Sorry for being nervous, but it was a huge moment

[@atche8004]

this thing is going to be badass when its done. i remember V1 from 4ish years ago, and i cant wait for this version to be complete!

[@_Gingium_]

Yeah, V2 is going to be SO MUCH better!

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

Updating the user interface is definitely one of the most enjoyable parts You can box the floor pan and lower firewall if clearance allows to help better fit the pedals

[@jetink600]

How do you box a floor pan?

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

@@jetink600 basically like tubbing for slicks but from the inside to better fit your feet and pedals. Also part of the firewall cut out the section of the floor pan and firewall you need deeper, drop it the desired depth, the fill in the gaps with sheet steel.

[@jetink600]

@Thoroughly Wet gotcha. That's what i was picturing in my head but i figured i might as well ask to be sure. Thanks for the explanation

[@briantucker2570]

Hey I'd recommend putting washers on the outside of the seat to bracket bolts, it'll just make it a lot safer and won't risk ripping through the metal of the mounts in a crash.

[@38tech]

Def coming along. And watching old gingium turn into new gingium has been satisfying to see.

[@Apodaca11]

LET HIM COOKKKKKK

[@TWCAAO]

excited to see the 4x4 front fenders on

[@aurekcollins4557]

Who else is absolutely stoked to see this thing rip

[@aronaltmets2467]

LIGHTWEIGHT BABYYY, YEAAAHHHH BUDDYYYYYYY

[@_Gingium_]

YEEEEEEAAAAAAH BUDDDYYYYY

[@Drunken_Hamster]

With your shoulders back against the seat, you want your wrist to still be able to fold over the top of the wheel, and you generally want the top of the wheel about chin-nose height for proper reach and clearance.

[@ryansutherlin5613]

I’m always amazed how easy you make fabricating look. Gives me lots of inspiration that I may be able to do this myself.

[@calvinburda1602]

Definitely could see an iron worker station as a great addition to the shop, best fab tool i every did buy for my shop

[@mikeyacullo]

My favorite build on youtube. An i watch alot of builders lol

[@tripifi9303]

I've loved this thing and it's idea since you bought it Shit I've been here since BEFORE Molly I'm very proud of you Caleb, you've come along way from FM7 build-n-tune vids man

[@402SHO]

If u have the hog ring issue, theres a rubber washer under the metal ring, replace the rubber washer and it will hold tight again I’ve done it a few times on my stubby.

[@_Gingium_]

I don't really know what issue I have, I just know the sockets fall off lol

[@402SHO]

@@_Gingium_ lol I feel that. I just thought I would throw this in here, the Milwaukee rep that does the Home Depot’s near me told me this trick for people don’t need to send there tools in for a small issue if that’s your issue.

[@skylersell2763]

The quality is amazing on this thing huge step up from v1, love the work.

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

Drifting is in no way my 'thing'. BUT, I have enjoyed watching you fabricate this truck.

[@_Gingium_]

Good! It's a "drift" truck, but it'll be great for everything else too!

[@mochabear88]

youre killing this

[@parkerbanken1831]

seeing the drift truck in person is crazy, gonna be one of the cleanest builds at FDD for sure

[@LaZzieHeifer]

I seen you at drift yesterday! Hope you had fun and thanks for the upload!

[@RATTL3R186]

8 into one exhaust !!!!!

[@ikel018]

I really enjoy the fabrication aspect of this channel...

[@roboman2444]

From personal experience... If you can reinforce the back of the seat to the harness bar, it will help quite a lot.

[@_Gingium_]

You can't on these seats, but they're also steel frame seats, not aluminum or fiberglass, so they're much stiffer (albeit a little heavier)

[@roboman2444]

@@_Gingium_ Yeah, steel frame is probably good enough. I just had a lot of side-side flexibility in my Aluminum seats that was completely removed with bracing. Front-back wasn't bad, it was just side to side that became very noticeable on the track.

[@drheaddamage]

That footwell looks rather narrow, I wish with all my wish-granting capabilities that you'll have no problem getting the clutch in there in a comfortable position!

[@DelTalkoh]

Have you thought about just flipping the bar to the other side? Still keep your rigidity but not effect your seating position.

[@raceace701]

Most sanctioning bodies require the rear diagonal to be on the drivers side

[@daniel.booth218]

Always nothing but quality content🫡🤌

[@mikeyacullo]

Beautiful work man. Keep it up

[@danieljohnson1640]

I know everyone has their opinions on it, but I think the dash and trim flocked would look nice in there.

[@triggrhungry4065]

i really like those seats.

[@yungkidnf]

Man, can't wait til this one is done

[@Iamdesignproducts]

Love it. One of my favorite builds on KZbin hands down.

[@alejandrovelezcortes7392]

Man , how i Tell u on Saturday at the drift event, you do the amazing and perfect projects, and you are a very humble person , was a pleasure to know you!!

[@mahdialsenussi3066]

Nice work And Man, can't wait til this one is done👍

[@yesormaybeno]

The bar should be a Y shape connect to the 2 top corners and direct center, or a v which is safer, but you will run into the same seat problems.

[@javierestrada2637]

I’ve always wondered if you could sell the sheets of metal you have left over from the plasma table to farmers. It would make a cool looking fence panel.

[@boydb1212]

I litterly wake up on Sunday and I'm like is the new video out. Sometimes it is and some it's not. When it's not I'm just like let's go I'm jonesin here.... the only utuber I do this on. Thanks Gingiumfor great content.

intro sounds, well done

[@bluboye]

DRIFT TRUCKKKKK

[@shawnbierstedt9972]

I wish we could get one 1hr long video love watching the insane work and progress you make

[@mrredfeet]

Hello Caleb, what are you planning to use as anchor points for you harness/seatbelt? Because I would like to warn you that you might need a re-design of your seating frame if your planning to use it to mount your harness to. The reason is that the connection between seat and the front bolt is based on a weld which could snap under the force of a crash resulting in the seat moving down/to the front which would lead to an increase in forces on your body. I would make the base frame out of 1 peace or make the longitudinal strips (which bolt to the car) out of a single piece of metal. Or At least brace the welds by boxing the frame. If you want to know the forces per point I would like to refer to ECE R14 or ECE R16. Unfortunately I do not work as a mechanical engineer in the automotive anymore otherwise I would’ve have helped with the actual design.

[@ngarmy6602]

Love videos very much, love builds , fun and nice 👏🔥

[@ralo1558]

Paint your new seat brackets Red, nice accent against the black seats

[@MASI_forging]

Great video.

I'll have my own shop one day, and i want to do the same stuff you do, this truck is gonna be badass

[@RideforKink175]

Badass

[@roninvirtues8012]

You don’t help me budget, cause the way you’re building this truck is a dream come true 🤙🏻

[@_Gingium_]

I don't know how to budget 🤡

[@tturi2]

thats becoming a beautiful machine 8:26 btw i need one of them presses to bend my seat bracket up

[@anomamos9095]

Too late now but moving the front wheels closer to the front by an inch or two would have given a lot of benefits . Better weight balance, less intrusion into the cab for wheel tubs and possibly better drifting ability.

[@aBROhamLincoln42069]

Light weighttttttt. Ronnie Coleman would be proud

[@asadumatitus874]

Great build but to be honest your front wheel tubs need a re-work(re-shaping)...they are too dished and not enough leg room.

[@_Gingium_]

Yeah they'll be getting notched and such when I go to install the pedals!

[@kadenbourgeois1]

Been a subscriber for the past 7 years wow thats crazy to say. Love the videos man keep being awesome🤙🏽

[@Gerard_Blooter]

Cameraman Kirk be finessing those shots 👌🏻

[@bibbob3531]

Bro I remember watching this guy when he started play forza motorsport 6

That diagonal bar only has to be within 6” of the bend

[@yaseenamin8056]

Welcome to a new videeyo

[@_Gingium_]

thanks u 2

[@roboman2444]

This man needs a drill press.

[@_Gingium_]

Drill press, nice big bandsaw, lathe, and so many other things!

[@roboman2444]

@@_Gingium_ Fabium would go absolutely bonkers with a CNC mill/lathe setup.

[@calebdipaolo]

Why wasn't the rear bar mounted the other way were it would be behind the passenger seat? Id think that would make more room as the passenger seat doesn't need to have room for the pedals

[@raceace701]

Most sanctioning bodies require the rear diagonal to be on the drivers side

[@calebdipaolo]

@@raceace701 oh didn’t know that, good to know

[@NisusGG]

got the same steering wheel!

[@danielhughes9556]

Just a thought, but make a bracket that utilizes the existing holes for the guage pods. So the dash isn't all wobbly.

[@randomthing4639]

Time to buy powder coat tools hahahahah

[@dorkvis5008]

Love the vids ❤

[@nubitos355]

Wonder where that clutch pedal is going to go

[@_Gingium_]

on the roof

[@gavyndawson3907]

Saw your miata at atl fd wish I could’ve met you.

[@_nader.essa_]

Man, you’re such a great fabricator. I wish you’d use a respirator when you use the angel grinder tho, for you lungs sake

[@Caswell1984]

Always love watching your videos dude,job well done but can't stop thinking about how small the pedal box is going to have to be..

[@georgeknight7079]

I good driver can adjust to the vehicle , no matter the car/truck. You keep changing the truck instead of changing your technique. Driving competitively is about driver adjustment more than car . You keep changing the truck but yet to master anything you have done from day one without looking at the big picture. A good driver can drive a slow/ under powered faster than a powerful car with a inexperienced driver. Long time sub. But to be honest the channel was much better when it was low budget because it relates to the masses.

[@danielhughes9556]

Them seat brackets are "mui" bueno. 😂😂😂😂

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

Ging the kind of guy to sit in his project car making BRAPBAPBAP noises when the car has a big V8. And also buy a plasma CNC cutter before he has a decent set of gasket scrapers. Sorry, I’m never going to let that one go. 😅

[@ryannickfabrication]

Also, I hate to be that guy bc I cannot stand ppl who comment on my stuff telling me how to do it. If you are ever going to compete in any sanction body racing, then those seats must be mounted to the cage. Love the mounts though

[@ShawnGuertin]

I lost same clip on my Milwaukee impact, I walked in a service centre expecting to have to pay, but that clip is covered under warranty, and they didn't need to see the invoice.

And the pedal box

Any bolt that can slide to adjust will slide during vehicle operations no matter how tight you get the bolt. You better flange bolts with teeth

You should leave the speakers and radio.. that weight is t gonna make that much difference

in which CAD do you draw the parts to be cut?

leaving internet for 4 months cant wait til i get back and the truck is done

[@wrxluis2175]

Watching gingiums videos while eating hot Cheetos it a vibe

[@tommallory4841]

I would of boxed the seat rail in and welded it in to the chassis just welded the bolts to the otherside would of been stronger

[@dumbestoyster]

What does the ium stand for on the seat bracket?

[@n2Fast_]

His YT name.. Ging - “ium”

[@kb-elmo]

IUM Industries is the name of his merchandise company. Basically just a short for his yt name.

[@valdeera]

Hey why dont you switch the bar behind thr seat from sode to side. Have it mout to the top of the cage on the pass side this way it will give you more room to lean the seat back on the driver seat. Pass side, who cares lol

[@schotzfired]

I die a little inside every time you wear gloves when using the bandsaw. Don’t wanna see you lose your hand man. Human is the softest tool in the shop.

[@FufsowyFufs]

CONSTRAIN YOUR GEOMETRIES

[@luxtempestas]

I will be extremely disappointed if this truck ending up not doing "tu tu tu tu waaah waaah". 😂

[@volvo-enjoyer]

why didnt you cut the cage bar out and point it the other way? more room for the seat that way

[@_Gingium_]

That technically doesn't pass tech then. The bar has to be going up to the drivers side corner

[@luchonix]

good video, but can be longer or more weekly content

[@tristan8243]

seats seem a bit big for you🤔
