I’m a certified welder. From the looks who ever welded that didn’t fuse the metal together correctly. You can still see the square shape tubing. That should have fused with rod.

[@rsproductions5]

It looks like it was welded with a 110 machine tbh... theres 0 penetration in that weld what so ever. it wasnt utilizing any of the strength of the square tube it was relying 100% on the weld

[@arconcritter]

Ambition-pk Hi there, I’m curious what you mean by “a 110 machine” and how that would affect the welding quality?

[@mrsquanch2211]

Chris Armstrong what he means by 110 machine is that, most small welders that are sold in like Home Depot or any other store like that, that are meant for small home projects are powered by your normal 110v outlets. But these welders are meant for thin material like sheet metal, or any other thin metal. When it comes to welding thicker material metal, it requires more heat, more energy to be able to penetrate and fuse metal. That’s where 220v machines come in. These welding machines require 220v compared to 110v. Who ever welded that kit car frame was probably using a aluminum spool gun on a 110v welder to able to weld that, and as you can see, the ‘wire’ didn’t fuse into the square tubing and only created puddle on top of the tubing. That or who ever welded that is just 💩💩💩 welder lol.

I study engineering and there is a simple rule : The material is supposed to break before the weld. Those welds were horrendous and not enough penetrated

[@mushroom032]

I wouldnt say that the material is supposed to fail before the welds. Its more that the material tends to fail before the weld because the material is weakened considerably by the heat welding causes, on a molecular level. Welding in general is far from ideal, but in many cases the only feasible option to attach components toghether.

says the guy who I'm assuming has never had a car project before. A single project takes an enormous amount of time and money. Whatever time and budget you allocate for a given project, you basically need to triple it, because there is always going to be broken shit once you tear it all apart. Modern cars are insanely complicated, they're very likely the single most complicated object you will ever own, in terms of shit you can actually rebuild yourself. It's understandable that when you have 50 different projects, you're going to be bouncing around a fair bit and maybe not get them done.

No shit. How many years ago were we promised that 6 speed manual swap? Of course, i get it. It's not a Twin turbo Gallardo that's been thru the wringer. The Merc just isn't exotic enough. Didn't cost the better part of $100,000 to buy damaged. When done the Merc would be a really cool car with a 6 speed but in the end if someone didn't know they never built any manual equipped one's it would just look like a stocker. I'm not sure buying an Aston Martin and road tripping with two dudes in bona fide exotics has really helped the original spirit of your channel. It's morphed into all exotics all the time which apparently you cannot really afford unless buying them wrecked and yeah, rebuilding them would be good content but promises after biting off more than you can chew, once again?

Tavarish: “I want to learn more about fabricating” Stops project because he doesn’t want to be fabricating that much.

[@ChaosZero.]

It's not that he doesn't want to. Is that he can't learn how to do it and actually do it in time for SEMA. Which would be a fair argument if it wasn't for the fact that all he cares about is to get clicks on KZbin (with clickbait titles and thumbnails), sponsorships and free exposure from bringing cars to events such as SEMA. The issue seems to be that he thinks that in order to counter the lower attention span the average viewer has nowadays (which is below the 20 minutes mark), he needs to spam videos about any random car he has in his workshop, without any work actually being done and just hopping from a flashy car to another as soon as a flashier one becomes available. One of his arguments against sticking to this project in particular is also the fact that he thinks that people are not interested in following him working on a single project for months and that's just not true. There are plenty of other channels that do exactly that and some, without the slightest bit of clickbait nonsense (or any sponsorship) are so successful they get half a million viewes per video. Instead, it looks like he's just chasing the quick buck and the 15 minutes of fame instead of actually doing what he advertises in his own motto, "wrench every day".

[@ZeroD86]

[@cardinaloflannagancr8929]

Comment does not make sense comes off as just looking to find a fault. He clearly explains exactly the statement you take out of context. There would have been fabrication though it was with the support of the company. He now has no access to parts and specifications originally that were said to be granted. For this type of vehicle it would be exceedingly expensive to be drive-able none the less safe in competition use. There would be reverse engineering in addition to fabrication that virtually always is needed on a custom vehicle.

I read many comments complaining about how he quit on this project, well I am an experienced Auto Body Tech and one of the biggest challenges he had was the aluminum chassis, aluminum is a metal that has MEMORY, after a metal has been molded if it gets bent the memory stats to recover and the metal will pull to its original shape but aluminum is not flexible(thats why you dont see aluminum springs🤣) so it breaks and tears. Another thing the person who welded this together didnt do a "K-groove" welding, that is needed to weld on thick metal for the weld to penetrate 100%. If you put that car in a frame machine I garantee you that when they start to pull, that aluqminum will ripp off in pieces 🤣. The best thing to do is to create a new rear frame and bolt it on the the mid chassis just like bugatti did. You do that, and the ski is the limit🤓👍

[@matthewl.5059]

T Man it's a good call to lose a dream project to get another one going, but remember, your dream car is still out their and you will find it.

[@Adzie36]

“Cars aren’t made of flesh” thanks for the reminder.

[@-JonnyBoy-]

The welds are not even upto flesh strength yet.

Well, not with that attitude of his they're not. We must test if they can be, for science

[@trainmanbob]

Depends who you run over

[@martyncopeland6896]

Sorry about that that the aluminium should have been prepped ,and pre heated before welding the amount of penetration looking at that, was not great as,you said the welds should not fail!

[@ranchsauee5809]

DUDE been waiting for another awesome car vid not cancelling protects

[@ThijsDijkstra]

I thought there was going to be a Dollar Shave Club ad because you're looking fresh 😂

[@originaldylanbaxter]

Turn it into an iRacing simulator cockpit or a couch or something?

[@nickbell975]

Tavarish, we want to see a project go all the way through before the next one begins! There are a few cars like the manual Mercedes, and the MR2 that we’re going to be so cool!

[@JasonA1124]

I finished the Lambo, playlist! I'm very fortunate to be here man. I'm glad I subbed.

[@tyler1848]

tavarish using storage wars pricing on those parts lol

[@nononsenseBennett]

Sometimes it's best to throw in the towel. I was wondering how the car would ever be certified for road use anyway.

[@badger_claws]

@Bud Smokegood Wow!! In the UK we have to have an MOT Test every year checking dozens of things from tyres, brakes, suspension, lights, windscreen, wipers, licence plate lights! even if your screen wash bottle is full!

[@JoshuaNicoll]

Getting penetration on aluminium is nothing like on steel. The AC used by TIG welding, or the spray arc used by MIG welding, will not really go very deep, it usually only goes about 15% in, maybe 30% if you really push the amps. To get penetration on Aluminium, you have to bevel the joint to be welded, usually about 80% of the way down. I'm not surprised the box section wasn't beveled like that as it takes time and honestly, the strenght benefits from it wouldn't be huge, since it is aluminium, yeah you'd get probably a weld twice as strong, which is huge, but aluminium is soft so the members would have likely bent and buckled, and then the welds would probably have broken anyways.

[@robertgonzalez8419]

This is eye-opening for anyone who may be considering buying a car like this and for that reason I would never invest in this type of car or for clarity this brand car in particular seeing that is pretty sketchy.

[@QALibrary]

Do you ask Tony the welding Jedi to have a look at the welds and tell you what happened?

[@strict89]

I don't know shit about welding, but I heard that TIG welding, which is used for welding aluminum is something quite different from steel welding, so not every welder knows about it. Although Tony might know it, that's a good probability.

[@QALibrary]

@@strict89 that is very true

[@4IN14094]

The material that was welded is too thick for full penetration, making it very weak compared to the base material, in fact, for the thickness of the part that he showed, there should have been some preparation to be made, edges should have been grind off to an angle to make maximum penetration easier while the filler material becomes fully jointed with both sides, the beads looks good, but its weak, also depending on the Alloy, proper heat treatment is required for most Ally welds and unlike steel and iron welding, one should avoid grind off Ally welds.

[@hulksmash8942]

@@4IN14094 , should have up the amps aswell...do some RnD by cutting a welded section in half to determine the best amperage for penetration. ...

[@Sarcastisfaction]

QALibrary Freddie knows what’s wrong with it. He’s refraining from staring an opinion because of liability/class. Although, he’s clearly given us the green light on letting loose on this company’s garbage welds.

[@pistolpete5189]

Think your pricing is like that off storage wars to be honest lol 😂

[@toddniehaus]

...or American Pickers

[@gearheadlydia]

Letting go of the SLC was a completely reasonable and realistic decision that - to me - demonstrates that you're thinking about what you're doing. I agree with the general advice to finish pre-existing projects before getting another one, but I say that mostly because I know giving away the SLC shell probably hurts and you could probably use something to go back to basics with in order to bounce back from that. Hope things go well.

[@calvinr.johnsonjr.9076]

This is a year old and I don't how I found your channel. But as a man who grew up wanting to do this. I say thank you

[@DashnCars]

It would be interesting to get a Certified Weld Inspector to check these out on an Xray and see how all the welds look.

[@skev303uk]

Freddie, we’re cancelling the project. Freddie, let’s fit this amazing sound system before she goes!

[@knightrider1545]

Tavarish should be the first on KZbin with a TB48DE swap in America.

[@rambo4war]

Couldn't get manufacturer to "sponsor" the build or provide freebies and advice. Tavarish: Proceeds to trash the build quality and weld quality of the company's product. US: Certainly wont buy that junk new or used or salvaged....MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

[@bummer6]

"to build it better you need to stop cancelling projects and finish what you started"

[@flatusmax]

I admire your wisdom my friend... I've been looking at SLC for a minute... They say a picture is worth a thousand words. The shot of that weld was all I needed to know. That and the companies unwillingness to "support" you with even the specs. P.S. I see no reason for you to apologize... Peace!!!

[@sadelcol]

I see a lot of people bitching @tavarish is abandoning the build, but these same people dont understand the difference in reengineering a custom aluminum frame and making a few motor mounts. I applaud him for realizing that he was in way too deep and wouldn't accomplish anything with this build. These are more then likely people that sit behind a keyboard or on the phone acting like they know everything. Tavarish I really like the content you put out and like to see the projects you do. I have only recently started watching your channel and enjoy what I have seen thus far. I cant wait to hear that ferrari with a 20b fire up.

[@bboydrummer1]

Don’t worry about it. I think if the company is not on board then it’s a good decision to abandon the project. You can spend the time on other things. Keep up the good work!

[@KCLEPilot]

RIP, I’m still excited to see your next project!

[@shadowreaver752]

I just want him to finish the other projects he started/bought

[@KCRambles]

Best decision Tavarish - Keep On Keepin' On. :)

[@nednf5048]

lol he needs some ac in his warehouse, mans is always sweaty asf

[@robertmiller6444]

That second lever is for the reverse gear. There are typically two configurations used for sequential gear boxes. One is ...2-1-N-R with a lockout lever for reverse - in which case there is usually some sort of little lever mechanism mounted on the shifter for this lockout. The other configuration is as in a motorcycle with ...2-N-1 on the main shift lever, with a separate reverse engagement which that second lever is used for, which is what Mendoloa uses in their S5R sequential gear box.

[@litoaz]

I’ve had plans on buying an slc for quite a while now. With this support I rather not.

[@kesando84]

5:27 Like the SL55 Manual Swap? 😁

[@BigLavs23]

Dude, not sure why KZbin put your it’s in my feed. Not a big car guy, but like your sense of humour. Consider me subscribed. One thing though...all these super cars and no Ferrari?

[@PS-ps8mo]

That engine/gearbox combo is not going to fit into a 355 chassis I am afraid without a ton of chassis mods. The 355 uses a transverse gearbox in order to get the driveshafts to line up with the rear wheel location in such a short wheelbase, (which is actually exactly the same as the F40). In order to get the driveshafts to line up with that gearbox output location you will have to cut out the structural crossmember that sits behind the fuel tanks (not a great idea as the 355 flexes like crazy anyway in this area plus the whole rear subframe bolts upto it) the engine will have to go where the fuel tank sits and possibly even into the cabin area (which is how Ferrari got a v8 into such a small space in the F40). It would have been less work to build a custom rear frame for the SLC and have stuck with that chassis for the project. If Tavarish reads these comments, we have a far better option for your 355 sitting here with us, that would blow the minds of the crowds at SEMA, and all based on Ferrari architecture, let me know if interested.
