How To: Notch a Frame for AirRide 4Link Coilovers Truck Hotrod

[@lapdogg]

To say that frame was previously molested is an understatement! You brought that frame back to life!

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Haha it was one of the worst ones I've ever seen, FOR SURE!

[@rodneyneil2247]

seen on vise grip thought I'd check out your channel. Good Work!!

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Thanks much! Glad ya gave er a little looksie! Stay tuned for more with Vise and I!

Killer work as usual, I was almost mad that there was no crocs and socks but you got it in 😂 thanks as always bro!!!!

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Hahahaha dang right homie! Thanks for the love and for following

[@BruhhJuniors18]

*_Damn, I remember watching these back in the day._*

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Unfortunately my bills and life goals, along with KZbin censorship and their horrible business practices have slowly pushed me away from youtube. If I have free time, I do still get video footage and do light editing, just can't commit the same amount of time to it now that I used to. A lot of people don't understand, a video like this takes 10-15 hours just to put together well and upload. That's not including the time it takes to do the work, Sorry if that's disappointing!

This is gold brother I'm getting 220 volt installed,and getting everything ready for this winter,I'm doing a 84 S10 extended cab Durango,and alot of what you show is the stuff I'm trying to calculate ahead of time!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge brother 👍👍👊😎

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Thanks much!

[@StingrayOfficial]

Love your channel and your projects. I just wish there were more videos!

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Haha you and me both. Just not nearly enough time. With the work in this video and the editing, their is probably close to 60 hours into this video

[@jimarena1166]

I sew you on vice gripe garage I thought I come over and support your channel as well I'm from Melbourne Victoria Australia 👍🇭🇲

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Heckin yeah! Thanks for the shout and the support!

[@TheCanadianBubba]

I am embarrassed for my fab and weld game when I see work like yours. Thank you for sharing it on here !

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Oh thanks man. This was just a quickie. Could have been much better! Just a matter of how much time a guy wants to spend on it. Keep on keepin on, it'll get where ya want it!

[@jarrettbailey1]

Hell yeah, brother!

[@adventure002006]

Saw you on Vice Grip Garage, pooped over to check out your amazing work. subscribed and rang the bell to catch your videos.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Heck yeah, thanks much man!

[@1armedguy4]

Any structural steel work that I've done over the years the procedure would certainly point out that each end of fishplates do not come to a point and in your case should have at least a 1inch nose. On certain worksites a procedure may dictate that fishplates be welded except the nose of the plate for stress relief purposes. I've followed your builds for a few years now so I know you build them strong to last a lifetime but it doesn't hurt to live and learn ! 🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

For sure, good tip. I'm not an engineer or trained in any aspect of car building. I just generally make educated guesses on what I'm doing lol I didn't even fishplate this one. I've never had a weld fail on me with my old crappy 110v, so i gotta believe this new miller makes any failure even less likely if not impossible lol

[@finlaybichan1275]

i was gonna say this too, all it needs is to be rounded off, otherwise the sharp corner becomes a stress riser ripe for a crack to start from

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

@@finlaybichan1275 well I've never had a problem doing it this way. I see it as it's better than a straight line of weld, regardless

[@finlaybichan1275]

@@Tinman2Kustoms and the likelyhood of you having any problems is probably slim to none i guess, that whole theory is more for big ass structural steel stuff. on another note, i also just got a new welder with autoset etc, and man, what a difference! my old one was ok if you spent ages dialing it in just right, but the autoset on the new one just nails it everytime, no splatter, just smooth as butter! your new one looks like its getting it right too!

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

@@finlaybichan1275 yeah for sure! I dig the welder. After using it for a couple months now, I prefer to turn the voltage up just a little bit from the autoset, but I like em hot, now that I finally have a welder that will do em hot lol my other welder I'd have to double pass or wide weave the welds. It was kind of sad. Haha

[@timblaes7028]

Saw you on the VGG, thought I'd bloop bleep on over here and give you another sub.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Heck yeah thanks man, I appreciate the following :) hopefully you find some good content here for some learnins!

Awesome video, good explanation on what to do and not to do!! And I'm pretty sure my 12 yr old granddaughter could do a better job than what you started with LOL, Looking forward to more videos 👍

hahahah! You're probably right about that. Thank you for the compliments

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Hey man, thanks for checking in! I'm doing good. Just busy with life stuff and KZbin has taken a less important role in my life. I hope to start doing maybe monthly or bi-monthly videos, but it's just low on the priority list because of how much time it takes. My other social medias are slightly more active if you haven't found those yet! Instagram & Facebook. Tinman 2 Kustoms

Is this the vise grip recommended channel? No new videos in like 7 months so I'm just curious.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

It sure is! Just trying to get caught up on physical work here at the shop, so had a hard time doing videos too. But they'll slowly be coming

[@king0cans]

Ok its been 9 months. It's time to pick the camera up.

You have the guy’s phone number that did that awesome work? Thinking I want him to do some stuff for me 😂

I can deal with ass a little highe4 but that gasser look sucks it looks good on a old gasser truck with a strait axel I like them even though I had a back halved 70 challenger with coil overs it was a bit higher in the back but not stupid high

[@jamesmayfield9681]

Where’s the new Videos dude

[@eriklarson9137]

So what's up? It's been a year since any uploads.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Been busy. Unfortunately KZbin started flagging my videos and KZbin doesn't pay the bills, but takes a huge amount of time, so I've been focusing my efforts on shop time and less on toxic media time. Thank you for following. Ok instagram & facebook I post more on my "story" since it's not as much of a time consuming thing to do.

[@king0cans]

Over a year.......

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Yessir. Unfortunately KZbin doesn't pay any of my bills and I havent had any free time to edit. People dont understand how many hours, unpaid, go into these videos. When I have to chose between paying my bills, supporting my family or posting videos on KZbin, it's a pretty obvious choice. I have hopes to get some videos up, just doesn't happen over night.

[@king0cans]

@@Tinman2Kustoms Good luck.

[@titancribbing3363]

Why you turn comments off on some of your videos? Don’t like the comments hahahaha

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Yep, some of them are annoying

[@berserkir]

So what happened? Tinman fell off completely! Anyone heard word what's going on and if he will ever come back?

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Haven't fallen off. Just havent had the time to do the KZbin stuff, unfortunately. A lot of time & effort goes into these videos. Time which I need to use to make my life successful in real life. Thanks for following though. Some day I will upload more

[@berserkir]

@@Tinman2Kustoms That is really cool you responded!! I don't know personally but have heard other big KZbinrs Express how much work goes into their videos and editing. But I have built several vehicles not to the extent you have but personally understand just how much work is involved. If you don't mind me asking are you building cars for a living as well? I've often wondered if you parlayed your skills learned in your youth into a career.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

@@berserkir yeah im building cars. I don't mind getting videos while I'm building, but it's the damn editing that kills it for me. Theirs probably 30 hours of editing in this video alone. People don't realize it and I'm OCD about stuff so it just takes forever and I can't justify it when I'm booked out over a year on actual work

[@berserkir]

@@Tinman2Kustoms Thanks for the responses, I'm happy your building cars bro. Because I know you'll see it just want to let you know I always enjoyed your work! I watched your truck build, the whole build series for your sema beast as you were building it and a lot in-between. I miss your videos but it's really nice to know your building cars still. Good luck with your work and I'll be subbed as long as your channel is up in case you get an editor to take the load off and post again. Happy New Years and Cheers to many more builds!
