[@richardreinhard8864]

imagine what this guy could build with a real workshop, cnc plasma cutter, cnc milling machine, more floor space.

[@lorin4]

more floor space is the thing that he needs the most now ^_^

[@1one3_Racing]

Probably the same as he builds right now, just faster

[@1one3_Racing]

Probably the same as he builds right now, just faster

[@Ratkill9000]

I bet he has a few possible sponsors in the background, he just needs his own place with a decent workshop. Cause I'm sure he'll be getting a CNC plaz table to help out cutting gussets, skid plates, floor pans, etc.

[@1one3_Racing]

@@Ratkill9000 make your own plasma table. Its super simple and a great weekend project. Can buy all you need with plans online.

[@MaNNeRz91]

The perforated sheet looks awesome you should use it in front of the steering collumn too 👌👌

[@vettepicking]

Floor pan under your seat is the most important one! A stump in the junk might end a career

[@williamcummings6562]

Love all the engineering you do. I worked years in a machine shop at Republic steel, and wanted to say you do really good work.

[@HerrKruppstahl_]

Dude i just love how you're stepping up the game every time you build something new!

[@PHUSII]

Manually milling that, wow! You are a man of shear determination!

[@MrBennyboyC]

Dude. Punched plate for body is an awesome idea. Huge benefits with crawling but can still be painted. Love it.

[@petemartus8876]

Your blessed to be able to make all those parts that stuff is expensive!

[@joemcneil6602]

I am watching these videos in amazement. What you are able to do is nothing short of brilliant.

[@yawningkitty457]

That gas tank is looking awsome, plus its big enough that you will be able to go for extended play sessions without having to worry about running out of gas. looking forward to seeing this build up and running, that 1000RR engine is a monster.

[@siouxwarrior5396]

Keep your head up! Love your work! Nice to see some good Ole fab and machining !

[@Teammizera]

The hole plate is sweet!! Washable, will stop mud and rocks and then deflect water, it’s hot in summer air flow for the win

[@shanek6582]

I bet you were awesome with an etch-o-sketch as a kid lol. Manually milling those pillars.....wow.

[@garylamoy5010]

Dude , you are a true craftsman man .. Beautiful beautiful work

[@pennykrueger5644]

Hey Hey, Uncle Vic here. Dude, watching you build this fuel tank was awesome. I love how you pulled off simplifying all those seams. WHAT do you do for a day job ? BETTER YET, how many years of and what type of classes did you take to gain the level of skill you demonstrate ? I've watched many of your videos. It makes me sick to know that I will never be able to do what you do. Man, when I look at you, I see an Engineer, a Welder (Extraordinaire), a Mechanic, and a basic all around GENIUS !

[@wymershandymanservice9965]

Nice thinking out of the box. Like the expanded metal , fuel tank build extremely nice. Great content 👍👍

[@bloodredhornet2704]

Buggy is looking great. Going to be an awesome build. Good choice on the perforated floor material. Be easier to wash. Sorry your still dealing with truck issues. Patiently waiting on some more reverse trike build videos. I’m building one as well and would love to see them done around the same time. Keep the vids coming!

[@keithw372]

you need a skid plate under your seat.... sensitive area there.....

[@Avetho]

Ooh if a rock hits the underside of the seat in juuuuust the wrong spot... mega-oof

[@Crewsy]

🤣😂🤣😂 Yupp. Right in the.........brains.

[@danburch9989]

Chevy, Chevy, you're the best. Drive a mile, walk the rest. In my high school metal shop more than 1/2 century ago, my instructor said to tighten all lathe pinions. There's enough slop in the scroll gear that some of the chuck jaws could be loose. Doesn't take much to be loose.

[@lukedesousa2893]

its ford ford thair the best drive a mile walk the rest

[@redz83]

I just love your builds. Great work!

[@nickfleming6568]

The perforated sheet looks good under the seat! Will look better when it's paint the same colour as the frame and the diamond plate is silver. The perforated sheet would be ideal round the engine area for protection and air flow.

[@eugenesbackyardrepair4593]

Omg I love the outtakes at the end. That's keeps you grounded in our eyes so we love it for sure. Shows ur average like us but keep up the great work.

[@1981dasimpson]

i thonk fuel tank built around the drivers seat its internal alot of unesed space and well procteted you could get to decent size tanks there as well

[@dontetenon8796]

Sorry for a long winded response .You can have a just as fast fill up if you have it around the seat or ware it is now, you would just have to get out and fill it that way. If the gas tank was around the seat you need more gasoline hose, and it could strain the gasoline pump.

[@dontetenon8796]

Wow, these are good Ideas. If only I could weld. You guys make good points, as Eddie said the about the weight being on the rear axle it is so it dus not slide that much it give the driver enough traction so the driver doesn't not slide dus not have to be above the axle. I was saying about a reserve tank I don't know how much the fabriced one would hold and last while driving it, that is all.

[@RossMacRae]

Love the perforated sheet! Leave it! Easy to clean as well.

[@joshblainer4950]

Amazing work, I love that tank so far! Also I really like that see threw material you used I think it looks awesome

[@garageguy5174]

You can never go wrong with diamond plate, love the vids!!

[@martinhogan5970]

Love your channel; and love the tracks!! 🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@mixonmachines]

Lovin this build !! Love the channel too !!

[@sammylisasmith2104]

Nice tank the milling was sweet as well

[@trecedaves3159]

Always been my favorite when you machine parts

[@christopherscott6794]

Dude you have come a long ways in your ability and skill level. Its cool to watch you work. Your projects seem to be getting a little more complicated as you go as well as better. Keep up the good work man

[@Tampaboys]

Dude your making some serious progress on this build

[@DktheWelder]

That fuel pump holder is crazy! You did a good job of it though. All you need is 3mm alloy plate and tig a blob onto the back so there’s enough material to tap into lol. Good skills on the mill!

[@caseybinion806]

Your work is amazing bud can’t wait to see it get done and it driving and hope you get your truck fixed and don’t have stress about it😎👍

[@richardormrod5758]

hope you get your truck sorted great vid as usual

[@Tampaboys]

Those floor panes look great bud

[@MrCodgedodger]

This chill-fi is golden

[@andrewhippeli6951]

The floor pan looks sweet dude. You are on my top five youtubers I love to watch you have some sick builds keep them coming

Your work is amazing

[@imanuelgarcia9917]

Tus videos son terapia para mi! Gracias!!!! Saludos desde Argentina, ojala algun dia te pueda conocer

[@mathijs-zu9oj]

That stuff looks super awesome that with the holes

[@seanbinyamin]

I was there two radiators, one to the right of the seat, and one to the left of the seat Then there was tax space for a fuel tank in the back of the seat and quite deep And the part you made from the aluminum, huge wow

[@narrowroadtransport8318]

Hope you get the truck situation figured out thanks for all the content

[@32587msw]

I love the mesh stuff I think it looks awesome. Keep up the great work. Im sorry you are having so much trouble with your new truck. I would imagine that would be very frustrating. Best of luck.

[@garthkerr621]

Things coming out looking awesome 👍🏼 sorry to here about your truck that sucks

[@fuck1fuck2fuck3me]

that looks sooo fresh, its easy to wash and it gives it a new look on buggy's of this kind, tbh looks a lot more modern that way. i say wrap the sides with it too. maybe even stagger the diamond plate and it to give it a even more modern look 5:40

[@kingavegarage8722]

Wow, I cant believe you did that plate pretty much by hand(cranking). Well done.

[@mdftrasher]

Getting better and better!

[@tristan_andrade]

Amazing work 🔥

[@jakecamacho3382]

Awesome build just subscribed

[@hrsey71]

looking good! the perforated looks cool, but it will let all the water and mud in.. maybe put it in areas where its not an issue

[@Self.reliant]

Watching you machine the gas tank top all I could think 8s I can't even make a circal on an echascetch great job

[@Crewsy]

I was thinking the same thing. He did a great job mimicking a CNC mill cutting those radius. My brain is like an etch-a-sketch. One good shake and it’s blank. 🤣😂

Coming along nicely yo. Good luck with the ute mate

Hey that perforated stuff looks pretty cool! Wish I had a good scrap yard here. I just end up paying full price for metal... 😢

[@Hellsong89]

Go around your local shops and ask if you can look their scrap bins. That is way i find most of my materials. Trying to find something specific usually gets you in and after that just look if there is anything else you might need. Even salvage some tools they have trown away, since usually its just easy fix and you get professional quality tools from that.

[@terrancebarrett727]

Dude. Your more than capable to fix your engine in your truck.. if I can do it you can! You very smart and talented..

Congratulations 🎉🍾

[@rushley5813]

So what youre saying is that instead of messing with your new truck that you'd "rather be welding"?

[@weldingtroop2179]

Hey guys, great content as always. Excuse me, but I have to talk a little bit because my boss is firing me during the quarantine. I've been sitting at home for more than 5 months now and I get depressed. My buddy Dave Harper motivates me and we are putting all our welding knowledge on the spot. If you need a welder or welding advice, visit our website weldingtroop.com Visit the website (weldingtroop.com) and give us your feedback, whether you appreciate it or not. I really appreciate it. Thx!

[@lithiumike]

Nice tank! Sorry to hear about the truck

[@ejayd4293]

I love the mesh man...it lets the water drain out and makes it easier to clean after a good run. Off road buggy's need to be able to run excess water off and not pool up on the machine..

[@4486xxdawson]

I like the punched steel look actaully , ya keep going 👍👍

[@TripleXclown]

Honestly that would be awesome in a buggy.. rocks are the worst.. looking Great Chris!

[@bradshantz2272]

I know it's a chevy but with metal in the oil,I'd say drive that lemon into there show room an leave it for them to figure out

[@sorohamza7091]

Ce gars deviens de plus en plus monstrueux Force à toi Bon courage ras.

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

the holes in the sheets can be filled with epoxy or covered with a wrap to negate the water/wind. The wrap/epoxy can even be clear. I bet some colored lighting would look amazing coming through those holes as well. You do such good work. I am always impressed no mater what you choose to do. O i need a part. Ill just machine that real quick. Wha??? Really?

[@aldydagh5099]

I hope you can continue make videos about this projects.

[@FabiHtc]

[@romaz3053]

Dude, good job! I think your new truck is too ... new. The decent motorization ended in the 90s. I apologize if my writing is inaccurate, I am Polish and I know little English. Take care

I can't wait to see this beast run and tear up some trails. Great build! Return that lemon of a truck and get something better, IMO.

[@thomaspryor8202]

Well Done!

[@fabianmurray7230]

I like it it looks pretty cool

[@sport1349]

Good work

[@timwegman5776]

I like the perforated sheets but I would use them only on the upper left and right side in that area that’s not in the window area but not the side area either. I think this would give you some Peripheral view and allow some air flow on hot days. I mean I’m sure it will be be great where ever you put it in just saying those areas would really be beneficial. Love this damn buggy I want one just like it.

[@julinhoyt]

seus progetos sao muito top,sucesso amigo!!!

[@famamugue]

Ficou muito bom Cris, este Buggy vai ficar show, valeuuu

[@user-yy4eb4et7w]

Great job

[@dontetenon8796]

Just a suggestion Jonn, if don't mind the water with your skid plates you can fill them in with plates or pudy, or a tarp. The water will just drain out so you don't need a bucket. I Injoy your creative videos.

[@idriwzrd]

I skil saw with a wood blade works pretty well for cutting sheet aluminum.

[@jessed2282]

DUDE, love the builds, but one build you need to make a few buggies into mad max style. The views would be awesome!

[@waynep343]

CYA on the underside of the buggy. Needs to be a one piece belly pan that wraps over the outside of the tubes including coming up behind the seats. Welded on u bends to guide it around tubes and keep it from shifting out of position. The lower sides need it also. Not inside the bars . Over the bars on the outside. You may keep eyes out for scrapped HDPE or Teflon sheets. Even scratched up as rock sliders. Much easier to clear a high center with a smooth bottom. If you ever come down on something or run over something a buggy in front of you kicked up. You may brush it off.

[@Mr.GS-147]

This is beautiful:)
