Custom Fabricated Crossmember and TRANS MOUNT for the Single Seater Race car

[@oakswamp]

nice work dude , glad im not the only one who uses a battery drill in car building 👍

[@bennettscustomsco]

Hahaah oh man I’ve been cruising this thing from day one but still seem to use it everyday!

[@johnnyseegood]

The starting hole for the plasma is such a good idea

[@bennettscustomsco]

Helps save my consumables!

[@ralphhammond8398]

Hey Jordan, looking good, moving right along....Ralph

[@paulcrombach7262]

Just found this channel. Love it! Love this car, love the editing and the music. Keep up the good work!

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks for dropping in Paul

[@hankburton2043]

Love how you use the cardboard as you template awesome idea mate thanks for sharing

[@bennettscustomsco]

Surprisingly it works! Haha

[@tintat2]

I've been watching since your "make it custom" visit with Karl. Love your work and vision of this rig. thanks . Darell NS Can.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks for the support Darell!

[@andyd2806]

This is looking amazing!! I love the old brown single seat in the background, hopefully that is going in this build.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Something very similar! Unfortunately my big fat hips don’t fit

[@ronbunker5778]

You are doing a fantastic build! I really enjoy watching you put your ideas together to create really great brackets and parts.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thank you kindly Ron lots more to come this weekend

[@sb18436572]

Excellent. Complicated Simplicity. You have a way to make it look easy. Every day garage tools.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Plasma table will be ordered soon! Hahah

[@trickywoo356]

Impressive. I'm gearing up to building a small single seater and love videos like this; I'm guesstimating measurements from the detailed video coverage. Thx!

[@bennettscustomsco]

Any measurements needed please feel free to ask!

[@ivanolsen8596]

Coming along great, Jordan! cant wait for the next episode. Request, pls show more of the grille on the wall insert, ha ha.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Yes you bet! You are currently putting a light behind it as we speak!

[@ivanolsen8596]

@@bennettscustomsco You Beauty!!! Just saw why you are so excited building your car, watched the races at Perkolilli. When you mentioned the name I hadn't heard of it, thought it was overseas somewhere, What pisses me, I was born in WA, spent my first 40 yrs there, am a devoted revhead, worked at Kambalda and never heard of the place. Had I known I would have lived there. Almost. Will be watching your build with even more interest.

[@tarouyamada2686]

Looking good! I hear so many jokes about holes in chassis/body panels as a weight reduction measure, it's been a while since I actually saw it being applied to a project. Keep it up 👍

[@bennettscustomsco]

Many holes to go!

[@TBS_Machine]

Nice work, I’m liking the style and elegance you are building into every part 👍

[@steveveness3829]

G'day from North of the river😉 Looking much better, that there Gearbox mount, not to mention the leg room achieved 🙂👍👍

[@bennettscustomsco]

Night and day difference with space!

[@steveveness3829]

@@bennettscustomsco I can see that as a fellow tall man, one has no choice but to use a Holden gearbox mount and under slung cross member. You might want to consider some corner gusset gussets in your brackets, if there is enough room to fit them. Just a suggestion 😉🙂👍👍

[@michaelanderson3771]

Great work Jordan- Not a lot of days left - You will need to pull the finger out, as they say. Still got to get is assembled and give it a test run - Times ticking!

[@bennettscustomsco]

Fingers was pulled last week and I’ve been burning the midnight oil! Fingers crossed we can get a few test runs in before we pack up and leave

[@joell439]

The project is one of my favorites right now on YT. Amazing fab. May I make a suggestion? I would add a small hole or two through the “I-beam web” so that it doesn’t become a bathtub collecting water and other road debris. All the best…. 👍👍😎👍👍

[@bennettscustomsco]

Excellent idea! I actually did that last nice thinking the same thing, much appreciated!

[@gregjobson4844]

Nice design Jordan, the level of detail on this racer keeps on rising. Cant wait to see the main body take shape. Cheers Greg

[@bennettscustomsco]

Next week! Panels and exhaust

[@donaldhalls2189]

It's certainly coming together, looking great, can't wait to see the floor and seat,it's cool, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thank you Donald!

[@65cj55]

That's a better idea, like you said, much more Leg Room, i like the details you put into all the Parts you Fab.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Trying to keep it all on the same baseline! Thanks man!

[@oakswamp]

great music mate too...😁

[@johnkranz4004]

Jordan very nice job on the Crossmember Looking great The whole build

[@lauriedooker1031]

Love this builds idea of a single seater . Personal fun machine with old school coolness . 👍❤️🇦🇺

[@mikef.1000]

Mate you have some great skills and intuition for how things should be! Great move with the proper cross member between the rails too -- a big thumbs up B-)

[@kevinkelly1523]

Great show !! I’m always amazed at how you work. Seems like you have this puzzle already figured out in your head and know exactly where everything goes.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Definitely running this build by the seat of my pants! I have the overall image in my head, but it’s all trail and error so far hahaha

[@darylthexton2287]

Great job on the crossmember!. Looks good & strong!.

[@warrencole2974]

Already looking forward to the next installment W.

[@MrLangleylad]

Nice work Jordan , I really like the I beam design. Definitely frees up some foot room 👍

[@bennettscustomsco]

Finally got a wee bit of room to get my long limbs stuffed in

[@brunocoutant4204]

Love this race car... Very Nice job you do... Bruno from France.

[@fonhollohan2908]

Should be one cool looking Racer when she's all said and done. I think this final design for more leg room is the key you don't want to be cramping up on the track. making something comfortable will make a huge difference so you can focus on the race. why not eh. Its not like its not achievable. So you might as well, right! have a good one jordan.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Couldn’t have said it better Fon lots more room to squeeze the limbs in and focus on going straight!

Thank you Melvin!

[@mattblack6268]

Another great vid mate. I like the way you explain things, I can always learn something from you. Keep up the good work.

[@erichgeorge7093]

I have to give it to you young men. Great video.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thank you Erich! Much appreciated

Great work…mate

Great Work. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸

[@peterd1440]

Hey Jordan, loving the show and the soundtrack who are they?

[@bennettscustomsco]

I’ll find out for you Peter

[@WoodenSteel-J6artisan]

Just curious; Why not use 2” x 1” “C” channel, cut the two angles upward, weld them? Seems like a ton of plasma cuts, unless it’s a new tool and you’re practicing….. I’m a carpenter relatively new to welding/fab work… we’re trained to neatly cut & frame with shear ply to gusset everything. Very clean work, obviously a great idea in a limited space.

[@andrewpring6449]

All your videos and explanations are great but they are too short, if you can make them longer then we would be able to see more of your work. Thanks

[@bennettscustomsco]

Okay certainly will try and get them longer! We have a lot to do on this so there will be many videos coming!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Fab on. weld on. god bless.

[@paz6918]

You got your moneys worth with that plasma cutter eh.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Certainly have!

[@ShotgunAU]

legito

[@garyvincent9663]

Love the build, Your audio sucks. Music blasts and your mic is too quiet.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Roger that, we will be trying to sort that out

[@lauriedooker1031]

My understanding of old school American suspension is zero as I grew up here in Australia, as reference I’m 60 and both my grand fathers never owned a car but this build has captured my imagination. Have you included any modern geometry set up or superior parts of any sorts’ ? ‘ into your suspension or is there a formula set of rules your guided by ? Nice 👍❤️🇦🇺 I would love to drive this one increasing to the limit with my inner Fangio spirit . 🫠👍❤️🇦🇺
