It has been a great local place to purchase supply's for my build, and pick the ear of local guys on what and how they build. Please keep up the great videos!

when adding the bungs to the frame, you could get your bolt thread a normal nut then a washer then your bung to make sure you get a perfectly flat level with the frame and would take out some of the guess work

For those without a metal lathe you can buy flanged nuts and use a step drill to create a hole and recess, then weld the nut in.

Great video. Wanted to ask why you opted to tig weld everything instead of wire feed, mig or flux, or even stick. Years ago, when you were down on Rt.30, I bought a Century flux core machine. Used it when boxing some frame areas on my 51 Chev. 1/2 ton. Was happy with the results on the frame, not so happy when I tried sheet metal, too hot. When watching your video I thought the flux would have worked fine, especially if you ran into a position situation. I need to justify the need before purchasing another machine, agree that the tig finish is tops but who's gonna see it, so that benefit is lost, know what I mean. Thanks in advance. Jack

@Maxlopezswing8 жыл бұрын
Just as a heads up your TIG welds are going to crack from vibration, you need to fill in the craters at the beginning and end, add extra filler, and taper off on the amps when you get to the end of your bead will help prevent it from cracking right away.

@eastwoodco9 ай бұрын
This is a traditional method that has been used for decades. You could go that route but it would be a different approach to the build that would be an entire re-work of what we had planned, as we built the frame and planned suspension with this in mind. Custom cars are built like a cake - with a recipe. So you have to make sure your components all work together nicely.

@@eastwoodco I kinda wondered why "no one" tried that…after finding an uncredited pic (via google) where someone did. In some cases it seems like wasted work, but in others it should be easier & it seems like leaf springs should be fine… But it would destroy the body if a spring or mount failed…

@johndoeOU81TOO5 жыл бұрын
George Dean you will either notch the bottom of the grill shell to lower over the front cross member. Or you can section the center of the grill out. But doing either of these two if you go very far you’ll need to get a shorter radiator to match the grill shell. I have seen in the past people moving it forward an inch and using or building some aluminum offset tubes for the water neck. (This is one reason I like quarter elliptic suspensions, it cancels all that out) 👍👍
