Thank you for showing us how easy out is to install. You talked me into installing it... now I just gotta talk the wife into the price

[@RobStapleton]

I guess we need to make a follow up video called "How to Talk the Wife into It" lol 😂

[@dirtydubber88]

Great videos I just built a 4 inch narrowed beam for my 66 sedan

[@AirkooledKustoms]

great kit cant wait to install another one

[@markemery2918]

Love your videos and products. Im gonna say theres probably around 8-10 blades if you use all available option.

[@vw_beetle_dave]

there are three diff blades . i want that hoodie. i like the idea off the way you did the job . lots of work

[@TheWhitetailrancher]

There is one blade available. great video! lots of major fabrication though. Not for the faint of heart. Work like that takes guts! i love it!

[@derrekjohnson2919]

Looks to me that they offer a plethora of blades for every cutting application, "we offer a range of mild steel, thin steel, aluminum and stainless steel cutting blades for every application". Not that it matters to Rob as he will be on the phone, chasing pizza rolls or riding bicycles.

[@rayanesoto1054]

Great tutorial!! 2 thumbs up! 1blade

[@RobStapleton]

Thanks!

[@nickingvolboth]

Great video!! Love to upgrade my thing. Don’t quit ur day job tho boys

[@VWJawbreaker]

Sweet vid and setup on the rear. Excellent bafoonery! (You still owe me a shirt) 👍

[@RobStapleton]

We haven't done "Bafoonery" in a while so we had to make up for lost time. lol

[@VWJawbreaker]

Rob Stapleton great balance imo.

[@SERGIO-ym5pc]

Good video, but I'd rather have independent suspension for front back side to side 3 wheel pancake and corners

[@RobStapleton]

Front and rear are independent and this set up rides just as good as they do stock but you can't 3 wheel 🙁. BTW the video of this car completed is coming out real soon and shows everything we did to get it on the ground.

[@dannyvw6247]

Cant you 3 wheel with air bags as well?

[@jedschleisner8960]

That so cool! But not easy peasy. I could cut it apart just fine but tigging back together would not be so easy. I want my bus done! I’ll volunteer my bus for your video 😎

[@RobStapleton]

You can mig weld it... it just won't look as pretty. 😎

[@MiguelRodriguez-pz8wi]

4 blades

[@MiguelRodriguez-pz8wi]

4 blades 4 different colors- blue , lite blue, lite green and yellow

[@tonypeters8298]

I guess coz I'm in Straya I'm ineligible? No worries, got no idea how many blades there are anyway, hahaha. Nice work guys, well guy that is. Cheers Tony from Down Under.

[@RobStapleton]

I think we can get it shipped there... I'll check into it.

[@tonypeters8298]

@@RobStapleton nah, all good, but thanks for the offer. I'll keep watching anyway.

[@my_smile1969]

Where’s the bus example ? I have a bus on real lowrider hydraulics with 4 batteries but would like to reconfigure part of my job

[@enfamy_OG]

That's a nice setup! Any videos of the car? I'm betting it lays on the running boards!

[@RobStapleton]

I'm pretty sure it was this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gajIh6yIdttphas

[@enfamy_OG]

@@RobStapleton well I take that back! Lower than I thought! I assumed it was a bug pan. That's a killer build. One day I'll be there. I'll thug it out on a static build for the moment!

[@RobStapleton]

Hey there's nothing wrong with static. 👍

[@c-man5679]

That pan (@7:30) is done... self draining... obviously he's got bad seals 🤭

[@MakeItMetal]

Three different blades (if you stick to Evo only blades) however, i know of other manufacturers blades that fit but aren't worth the material the're made of! now ship me that hoodie! :)

[@RobStapleton]

What kind of life span are you getting with the Evo blades?

[@MakeItMetal]

@@RobStapleton i've got the evo rage 2 333tpi blade i think?..life span is pretty good, i get well over a 1000 cuts in thin wall (2mm) box..if you treat it kindly it will last a good time..at over £50 per blade you pays to be nice to it.

[@RobStapleton]

@@MakeItMetal That's pretty good... I feel like you might get 100-200 cuts with a fiber blade so the Evo blade would be well worth it.

[@MakeItMetal]

@@RobStapleton I moved away from composite blades the day I got the Evo...best chop saw for the money by far 👍

[@RobStapleton]

@@MakeItMetal We just got one so hopefully we'll be able to make a vid on it pretty soon!

[@thomaskittredge8238]

Does that assembly have a bearing or bushing that the center splined part rotates inside of ?

[@RobStapleton]

It has bushings.

[@pierreduplessis1507]

Cool setup. Does it work on irs or swing arm style rear suspensions? And what route did you go for the front?

[@ryanlowther6447]

Yes It will work with irs as well... it doesnt matter . We build a whole beam for the front with the hydraulics built in it. The beam just bolts in

[@pierreduplessis1507]

@@ryanlowther6447 its a very expensive mod too do and not done at all.

[@iadubber]

Damn! Wish I could get this for my 60. Still too expensive sadly.

[@DemonMotorsports1]

It's not to expensive... If you only knew how much work is involved in making it you would think exactly the opposite! This isn't just some thrown together part. It's made to last forever....not designed to be cheap

[@musclecarfan70]

Save your pennies and get demon's motorsports hydro kit. Great and best system in the market plus support local/small business not corporation. Just my 2 cents, thanksss.

[@rogelioramos469]

How much the hidro piece. For vw bettle 80.

[@RobStapleton]

The kits start around $4500. USD for a standard Beetle... No Super Beetle.

How much are they ?

Send me an email and I'll get you with Ryan for the price.

[@greasepunk6619]

Not to be the safety cop but, how about some hearing protection? 3 blades

[@DemonMotorsports1]

Our grinders are silent....Rob just edited in artificial noise for the vid!

You should have a close up comparison of yours and Robs hands.
