That was a better discussion to get a new and better cross member 😎👍

[@cryingdemocrats1460]

Hay the holes for the rack and pinion go to the back looking at the firewall . Right ?? I don't know how you're steering column will go ; and gear box placement will be . I coud be wrong of course. Like the show 👊😎👍

[@65cj55]

@@cryingdemocrats1460 Rack goes in front of the crossmember, or it will steer wrong.

[@ActiveAquaSPORTSOlympicS-ul1sw]

The most enjoyable show / on KZbin, such entertaining, creative work. Congratulations too both Ian and Jamie.

[@SolarRick]

I loved every minute of today's episode. You keep doing what you do. Don't let any body tell you how to be you. Great job.

[@davidbriggs2515]

Here for another great show. Thank you

[@darylheadley5576]

You're like the Bob Ross of car building/fab etc thank you Ian & Jamie. Can't get enough footage. Please more more more. 100 from Australia

[@smokey2459]

Ian, your creativity is amazing!

[@howardnielsen6220]

Ian and Jamie thank you always fun to watch your Talent and your interaction with one another

[@jfig786]

Can't get me enough of the interaction between Jamie and Ian and his projects. What's he gonna do next. Amazing skills

[@derbf1]

I gotta say Ian is a magician I'm convinced.

[@ellertorresiii1081]

Ian is just not the magician fabricator but he’s also a comedian. I just love his style and having Jamie on his side they become a great team. Retired from Pahrump Nevada

[@Grayhook1]

Between your math skills, imagination and a teetering pile of metal, you can’t lose. And Jamie will provide the proof. Loving it guys!

[@larryparrish7780]

enjoy watching Ian at that higher speed.

[@mustache49]

my experience with a mustang II suspension installation is to place a straight edge under the crossmember and lower control arms so that the lower control arms are parallel to the floor during installation Love all the videos!

[@duaneayers6117]

Ian, you could eliminate the tire rubbing the fender wheels by only driving straight. lol. Your work is looking great 👍

[@bomcdaniel3005]

I love these hour long videos. I wish you had more of them

[@Suzie-Q2]

I really admire your level of patience. You don't say that it won't work, you say, "Let's try it again."

[@shake-the-earth1]

Thanks for the tips and tricks Ian. Thank you Jamie for the video.

[@javman03]

I love how Ian is inadvertently making the front low AF by mounting the frame rails that low in the crossmember. Since low is what he's shooting for, he'll appreciate it in the end. 😁

[@FlorencioRivera-ei6ms]

Absolutely enjoy listening to you both and how real down to earth you both are

[@TrendsbySterling]

That was a nerve -racking install Ian. You the man!

[@nickmorrow3829]

Ian, use two spacers for the bottom controls arm to center the control am since you centered the top coil spring pocket bracket. Good luck on the steering rack. Bump steer is sometimes an issue with lowering Mustang 2.

[@warriorinside1989]

when Ian dumps out all the nuts and bolts searching for the right one it reminded me of doing that with legos as a kid.

[@roywhitman7109]

This Zephyr is really going to kick ass!! Love this build!!👍

[@albertperrault6599]

I love how you all work together

[@TX-biker]

A ONE HOUR video😍 Longest one yet if I’m not mistaken

Too much math to be mathin', LOL. Ian you rock, and Jamie you're fantastic also.

[@DanielSilva-ws5cq]

Great video creative fun entertaining with being informative what a joy to watch

[@StanSzalkowski]

I’m glad to see you got the right parts and didn’t try to bodge the free one.the zephyr is a special ride and deserves the best

[@donnieslaughter764]

Awesome guys learning alot thank you

[@davidechols6797]

Making stuff work out of nothing or old used parts is what I love about your show. The creativity of making something work that people say shouldn't work good job love you what y'all do.

[@Admo-backtothe80s]

It’s Totally Rad watching Ian at work, but can Jamie do another desert tour please. The yellow flowers have me intrigued.

[@davidmanhire5532]

Not only do I get to watch Ian work, Jamie injected a moment to enjoy the flowers! I can't remember ever stopping during an engine swap doing that! I think I'll add that move to the work flow, thanks Jamie! 😃

[@r.a.monigold9789]

NICE - you kept me in suspension for the entire video. Of course the montages with music helped. Jamie - your video skills are getting sooooo gooood ! Thank you both for sharing!

[@kevinching1975]

Love watching you set up the front suspension time taken here is well spent not sure what the caster and camber of the car is but with some adjustment you should be able to get it exactly right

[@donavonbaker5172]

Jonie on top of it with camera 💚👍👽

Nice changes on front end always good to learn tricks thank for the ideas thank you Both TCOMITY

[@bdmattern]

@fullcustomIan Two quotes of yours that have helped me through projects (even house related projects): "It's metal, it wants to be told what to do" and "...but I'm not scared, I have a [tool needed for job]" - thank you for instilling confidence, and for the great content here on KZbin! Appreciate the hours you and Jamie are putting in 💯

[@paulsullivan3419]

Nice production

[@SirWilliamHorne]

Ian you amaze me, perfect choice of metal beams to get exactly what you needed! Perhaps you need a 3rd or 4th hand every once in awhile ? I’d be more than happy to assist!

[@kevinhall2266]

lol, I’ve had a few of those mock up juggling acts. It’ll test your patience but I needed the visual as my motivation to proceed. Looking Fantastic. Such a beautiful designed car.

[@bobhalstead1879]

Ian i know i have a lot of comments but the importate one is the top hat tilting to the front for antidive.the new ones you have are level.i place a 2x6 under crossmember with a short one under crossmember aprox 2 ft and another longer out to ball joints giving lower arms slightly lower than level for proper ride height.i have installed over20 ov these susp.in hot rods and fixed over 10 that were not installed properly.im no know it all but have exp.if you want to stop straight under hard braking include the anti dive into install

[@terryosz8458]

You have skills that will work great stay safe

[@RoninDosho]

Nice Work. Master Class.

[@BigBoxDodge2020]

Nice full hour of Ian, & Custom Fab! Nice job Jamie-Camera & Edit, and by the way, Jamie don't forget to look under the picnic table and the bench seat if you ever sit on one because I had Black Widow crawl out from under the picnic table once, and that was pretty. Shocking! Been watching Ian 4 many years, on that other show.

[@markchodroff250]

Great work ! You are truly a all around custom designer! Your the best ! Your team is Jamie the hounds and you ! -fantastic!

Very nice work Ian and good job on the video Jamie Coming along nicely

[@onlyme4997]

I could watch you work all day Ian

[@paulthomas-lo3ry]

Hi guys, ive done several mustang ii fronts. Two different manufacturers and both needed to have the hatts pitched. The pitch or angle front to back. Not saying keeping level is wrong.... i dont really know. Anyway thanks for another great video! Cheers

[@mpark3447]

And the top hat needs to be back a bit from the spindle center for proper caster and camber alignment.

[@duanedortch4923]

Weld temp brace from cross member to top hat top inside will still slide fore and aft for axle center line then put Temp bar from top of all thread to other all thread also front of top hat needs to be half inch higher than back helps in anti squat during braking

Love his projects and I know he's a master builder. My suggestion is 10-20 minute vids. One hour is a bit too much. Keep up the great work.

Nothing pumps me up like watching the master at work... You Guys are AMAZINGLY INCREDIBLE at what you do... there's nothing else that even comes close...

[@scottishcontentcreators]

You can tell Ian always has safe and healthty at the forefront of everything he does. By the way, just for anyone thinking about doing odd things, I filled an aerosol with jenolite rust converter recently and it had some sort of reaction with the propellant and it exploded on the bench 😮, acid everywhere, thankfully not on me. Don't try this at home folks lol.

[@65cj55]

I opened a 4lt can of brush on rust converter once that had been sitting in the hot car, the lid smacked me in the face but also shielded my face from the contents... the rest of my head and my neck etc, copped it all and it burnt like hell.

[@scottishcontentcreators]

@65cj55 you have to be careful with hazardous stuff eh.

[@65cj55]

@@scottishcontentcreators Sure do, i think being in a rush causes a lot of accidents etc.

Beautiful weather and beautiful company what could go wrong

[@michaelalberson126]

Ian you are absolutely amazing probably the best car fabricator on the internet and definitely the best well spoken and easy to understand what you are doing by your talking about it as you proceed through the fabrication process.

i love hard work ...could watch it all day ......lol.....thanks ian and jamie

Great video! I hate it when I see a Street rod at a show, that can't turn! A 3 point turn into something much greater. That was a very informative video! I have to get a marker holder now!

Can watch you guys all day , keep it up

[@rixkafer56]

Totally radical !👽✌️

[@legrandcaulder6102]

I have really enjoyed all your shows. I check youtube each day for updates. One think that I would like to offer is years ago I was like Ian and had my nuts, bolts, washers in a pile. I took the time one day to make wooden boxes on draw slides, labeled them, separated them and put them in an old cabinet on the wall. Pull out the box you need, you should find what you are looking for much quicker. I also have some old cricket plastic sheets that I pour them out on and then all I have to do is pick up the sheet and pour them back in the boxes. Just a thought. Really enjoy the way you make decisions on the fly and not have to follow some pre drawn project.

[@101scetch]

You’ve done it again Ian. You still blow my mind even to this day. The one thing I cannot get over on that Zephyr is how great that front grill is. It is amazing how straight everything is on that. I’m dying to see what you do with her same as the bug. I think both of those are turning into my favourites. Please keep up the great work that you do and your channel. Please take care of yourself and blessings to you and Mrs Ian(and shadow of course) from England.
