Demolition tricks and tips. Spotting cheated frames. And the methods used.

Just a quick video on spotting cheated frames and how and why they try these things. Like us on facebook / helzapoppindemolitiond...

[@CoachWagner09]

Other ways of cheating pipe in the front fender wells. All the holes welded shut on bumper at a show that doesn't allow loaded bumpers, double body panels list goes on.

[@CoachWagner09]

Another thing is the rocker panels and the frame take a piece of angle iron that's just as wide as what the top of the frame is and weld it down. Then take a sledge hammer and pound the rockers into the frame. Feel normal on the channel frames if you stick your hand in a spot connect that angle iron to where you talked about in front of the humps. You can bring the angle iron all the way up to the front body mount and suck the body tight against the frame had to tell anything unless experienced.

[@DemolitionMissions]

Don't forget tilting the front, a lot of people do that around here.

[@leedawson7720]

with the bubble top (or newer) model fords they cut the front frame at the fire wall and pull it down ford front ends 98% of the time go up anyway so the give it more time to do so and it make the fronts alot harder

[@CoachWagner09]

You can also lay flat steel on top of the frame where the body sits down on and wrap it around the humps and down throw some grease or mud on it. Too noticeable on fords though mainly on cars that has the body sitting flat against the frame. Some other signs frame has clay stuck all over it, painted frame, tar, and pretty much any thing else as a cover up. That all hooked together you're left with what's up front. Bolting the A-frames down after an inspector leaves is another one.

@HBMAN665420 I did that to leaf spring my outlaw car. Not enuff tho. It bent up fast from one hit from a Imperial. But I still won.

[@1979mustang31]

Good ideas but not even close to some of the stuff they run around here 80s moni Carlo I helped a guy cut a full-size impala frame down to fit this car an he ran agenst the full-size cars after his ran 2 mini an in the full he stood a 80 model chevy up

[@andymallory8631]

People used cut open frames and put another frame inside of it and weld it solid

[@ReverseGear]

Yes. Mopar guys love that trick. Also spray foam, But that only makes a mess.

[@chev500l8]

He even tried running a hidden gas tank for more run time and all it did was bust and catch fire( fire ended his night, figured he suffered enough losing the car to flames) a lady was declared the victor with a '78 Chevy sedan that was about 2 and a half feet shorter.

[@ReverseGear]

@DemolitionMissions Yes. I will do a video just on fomoco frames some time. There is a lot those guys do.

[@ReverseGear]

Thanks. A little hard right now. I have no internet at home.

[@Grognarthebarb]

as for filling holes. i bet u i could make those holes dissappear without adding steal other than weldmaterial. u just use a mig and go tap by tap all the way around. grind it all flat. fill the low spots with weld again amd grind it flat again. but like u said. who is gonna not cheat on purpose

[@ReverseGear]

Yes. And foam, beer cans, and concrete. All will break apart and litter the track.

[@ReverseGear]

I forgot the part on shocks. I'll have to add that to suspension cheating.

[@ReverseGear]

No problem. Glad it was useful.

[@chev500l8]

A long time ago someone put cinderblocks in between panels , they knew right away after a few good hits didn't even wrinkle stuff that this individual was cheating

[@VXKnightHawkXV]

These are great videos, you deserve alot more viewers and subscribers!

[@Vito324]

Awesome vid

[@sillygoose2508]

Yeah there's many ways to bend the rules as long as you can get bye the tech guys I don't know about you but I've seen cars sent home it also has to do with what kinda money is at stake small time state fairs a little easier but big money shows you really gotta be on top of your game and for the most part they know all the tricks and so do your fellow competitor's that will scream bloody murder if they think something is a foul didn't mean to bust balls very informative but take it with a grain of salt just my opinion thank you

[@johnnybgood774]

Rust hides everything lol I learned how to weld on derby cars as a kid from the frame seams to drilling out more spot welds all over the body the early 70's Chevy wagons were the best things other than imperials

[@ReverseGear]

Or spray glue and dirt. Instant non removable mud. Lol !

[@johnnybgood774]

@@ReverseGear 😂

[@ke4977]

good thing no secrets were given away

[@FlamEffect]

Man you would not believe how much people cheat on the rules, adding sheets of metal, bolts, and who knows what else. Guess I need to cheat with them next year. hmmm

[@philliptalbott1389]

Do you know if the cadillac fleetwood frames from 1985 are tough? I just bought a fleetwood brougham stretch limo for the european banger races so i'm wondering if they're tough wreckers or not

[@ReverseGear]

Nothing in the 80's is very tough. More just a go have fun car.

[@thomasuras]

[@ReverseGear]

[@nationalcitysycho]

Can be a semi tough front end car. Weld all the seams. And front kickers.

[@dustingillenwater8545]

[@brandonfrost16]
