Oh NO!! My Cutlass Frame is BENT!! KSR Cutlass Build Episode 39!!

[@FJ40Mark]

Being stuck in Canada no where near the ocean I like the sunrise shot a lot 👍

[@gtmotorsports937]

Kevin thanks for another great video. Good luck to your daughter for her gymnastics competition!

[@bigjon1961]

Don’t be too hard on yourself Kevin, I learn more from you and what you show then most guys who talk you to death about tell you how good they are!!! I’m 62 and still am learning so thanks for that!!! 😂

[@bryanmunson1685]

Like the opening. Need some perspective every once in a while. 😊

[@17s550]

Good to see ya Kevin. God bless you & your children

[@604cuinkillah]

That was such a wonderful intro❤️😇 Anyhoo, great work on following your instincts and checking out the alignment

[@TK-fp5fp]

As another fan from Canada I liked the change in the intro and think it would be interesting to see more of the odd places from around Florida where you guys live and work. There must be tons of interesting sights you could share with us in a two into to your videos.

[@jimdieseldawg3435]

Tough break, Kevin. Better that you spotted it and had a chance to correct it now instead of chasing random front-end alignment issues further down the track though 🙂 See good in bad, it makes life sweeter. More power to ya, bud 🤟🏼

[@gcrauwels941]

One of the most impressive things about you brother is your commitment to your kid(s). 👊💯

[@CaptainRon513]

Great to see the detail of your builds...Perfection!

[@OriginalMomo]

Kid chasing the birds on the beach was a perfect intro.

[@BBossman1]

As a frame and body guy from the late 70's to mid 90's, that frame wasn't "straight' from the factory... LOL

[@Mark-um7ey]

😂 I was thinking the same thing

[@chrisschmidt4792]

Me too. Same experience. 1/4” is insignificant for factory stuff.

[@ronbuckner8179]

Ditto! But my Ford was way worse. My 1965 Gal 500 was over 1” off. Tire wear? Much? Wheel alignment was impossible.

[@ronbuckner8179]

Hammering on a car frame is NEVER a good idea. Cleetus Auto Body fixes things like this with a strap and a fork lift and it’s always worked for him.

[@gwick358]

I'm thinking 1/4 inch is in spec for a factory frame. The original enginerds never took Kevin into account.

[@strykerentllc]

Kev, we're still watching and enjoying every video. Each one shows everyone just how genuine you are as a person, builder, dad, and employer. You're definitely not getting rich doing these and want to say thank you for taking the time anyway. The intro was fine, regardless if you caught the sun rising or not. Cheers!

[@Brtmyster]

Don't beat yourself up. You are doing what only a very few can do. There are millions of people and there are only a very few of people that do what you do. You are an expert and a craftsman. Keep up the great work and content. 😊

[@mrdukerulezz2327]

As always a plesure Watching and learning from you kevin. Pleasr keep the video's comming.

[@timgresdal3617]

I LOVE the beach rain or shine. The beauty of the beach in the rain is the peacefulness because there are so few people. And of course sunrise, like you were attempting, and sunsets at the beach are unbelievable!!! Love the different intro and of course children chasing birds is beautiful!!!

[@BrickNewton]

Good morning Kevin. I live about 400m from the beach and there's no better way to start the day with a coffee and sunrise.

[@KEIFabrication]

My metal cutting band saw is my favorite tool in the shop. It is by far the most utilized piece of equipment I own. Funny story with mine, I bought it at a yard sale. It began life as an old meat saw! It has an all cast iron frame. I put a 16:1 gear box on it to get the blade speed correct for cutting metal. Been making brackets and plates with it for more that 25 years.

[@teetwom8210]

Yeah !!! Cutlass time from Cognac France !!!!!! Thanks for the update !!!!!!

[@dmrhodes4829]

What day is it, although it’s not…Sunday, Sunday, Sunday…Cutlass Fun Day…Thanks for the great Cutlass fab videos…I respect and appreciate your attention to detail. NICE!!!!!

[@Sean-i4r]

It worked,I liked the intro and want more Like it

[@mini-vg8ri]

I must admit I thought in the last video you were coming back from Cleetus with his chassis jig he was going to sale ....love the Sunday Cutlass videos

[@AJ_Jabber]

A true fabricator you are Kevin! Top notch work!!!!

[@timmummert63]

Thank you for our weekly brunch with KSR

[@johnnickerson6522]

The beach intro was a nice touch. I imagine it was good for you to take time out to enjoy a sunrise. Too bad you got rained on but I’ve found a walk on the beach is a blessing regardless of the weather. It’s a reminder of how big God is and how small we are. I live 20 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. You have inspired me to get over to the beach more often. Thanks.

[@MacBolden]

Hey Mr. K., another cool video! Thank you for sharing your project adventures and like you, I'm anxious to see the Olds on wheels.

[@JimBuckley-v8t]

Is great to watch a good fabricator.

[@pwnd32]

When I hit the lottery you're the first person I'm gonna call! Great work Mr Smith

[@SaltyMeatHook]

I can't wait to see that Cutlass on the strip!

[@jryer1]

Always loved Florida's balmy mornings. The only sub-topical place in the entire continental U.S. Spent 30 years there, miss it sometimes.

[@vehdynam]

Good honest information and greatly appreciated. The quest for shop tools never stops. Many thanks.

[@sacrificialrubber779]

Good luck to your little girl!🤘🏻 Girl dad here

[@lanceboyett9034]

Brother even though I liked your intro, it kinda made me jealous. The last two mornings it's been 26° up here in Alaska. At least it's not in the negative digits. Lol. I can't wait to see the Cutlass ripping down the track. Congratulations to your daughter on her gymnastics. Keep on kicking butt and taking names. 🙏🏻❤️

[@Mohawk21-oi1nit]

This is definitely a ROCKY BALBOA type build....it keeps punchin even when it is on the EDGE!!!

[@HazelPlace89]

man, i miss the beach. Traded the beach for the mountains, and that's fine...but the beach was home! Great stuff, Kevin! Super cool to see how you handle these type of problems 🔨

[@SeanJoseph-s2s]

Yup....Sunday Oldsmobile content...good stuff....thanks...🔧🔧👍

[@Xxjoker21xX]

The Music of the Ocean is what Makes me feel close to God i feel at home there! one day i want to Live there no matter the Weather and constant shifting of..

[@scotthorner6943]

Kevin if I may you are a awsome builder and you think about everything. Have you thought of taking a min to pick up and make more room. Love the videos.

[@ianf2985]

The joys of working with old frame rails. Nice to see them getting cleaned up though. Cleaning those factory welds. And even if they will be covered, it’s good to know they are done right.

[@6969coxy]

Loving the positivity and onward fight given all the recent happenings ❤, keep up the fight, sharing your travels

[@jrehtil1494]

Great info good luck to little gymnist:

[@Sean-i4r]

Awe to be a kid! I say,ahhhh,to be a dad 😊, your a great one Kevin

[@saddletramp6529]

Love the intro...u r correct, oh to be a kid again!!! Hope gymnastics went well!! You and this build is awesome! Keep taking small steps and you will get there!! Thanks for the update!

[@dj-kq4fz]

For a minute there I thought you had gone over to the west side for your intro. Never imagined you'd be at the beach that early. Pretty cool! Thanks Kevin!

[@Angrymaninmidland.]

😂🇨🇦the frame was probably tweeked from the factory great job,,, Man u WELD like madman NOICE JOB 🇨🇦💯

[@biblemike174]

Dude so grateful for the Sunday cut vids. and you know what they say "race cars ? "Got to love em...

[@jimmarshall1655]

Good onya Kevin. Your attention to detail is what sets you above the Average Joe car builder. You are a true Craftsman, mate.

[@ruikazane5123]

Shew...at least it is not that hard to fix! Now that chassis table will be in the list of to-have equipment, or build your own. Now would be a good time to check the rest of it...

[@espensmith9537]

Love the video and the intro! Nice work, Kevin.👍 From a auto body technician, watching from Norway

[@dannyipwn1203]

Kevin i just wanna say, i hope you see this, but something about your demeanor is so easy to watch. i love the videos. your cool, calm, collected nature is really kinda refreshing from the norm. i like that you dont have a "made up persona" that some other tubers pull off quite nicely. been a fan for many, and will be a fan for many more. keep up the awesome work !

[@scottr9900]

Excellent intro. It’s fine by me if there’s a vote! 👍🏻

[@Tupaistella]

I really want to see a clip of your daughter compete in gymnastic.. because you always takes time for your daughter to go practice gymnastic

[@THEVROD64]

Good luck with the Hurricane Prep. !!!

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing

[@rpitneyjr]

Loved the intro, Kevin!

[@BenjySparky]

Kevin, you rock! Peace

[@beeeennnnnnn]

thanks for sharing Kevin!

[@sergiorangel350]

Great intro Kevin! I like yours videos, Hi from México

[@sidneysnottley6414]

Always interesting.

[@muzakmike]

Stay safe this week!!

[@johnnystanley4469]

Great video good catch love the channel

[@turtlefrog1234]

Intro was awesome

[@korzer]

Enjoyed the intro, oh to be a kid again eh? Have a great week Kevin and co

[@NorthernHDrider]

Your intro.... 👌 "To Be A Kid" For tweaking steel, button heating works awesome instead of cutting. Alot more work..... brings out mint product. 👍 Great Job 👍 Your work is nice.

[@dannmohr5721]

Sunday Sunday Sunday Cutloose Oldsmobubble day……. After Kevin makes young one do laps on the beach…….. in the rain…….😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Ammoniummetavanadate]

I am building a positioner right now, I have enough material to build another on hand. If one with a 4" chuck (but 30ish Nm of torque) would work for you I can probably toss one together and send it down, with the caveat I am still figuring out the code side. I did test the slip "ring" system to 520A and it didn't hear too much. Probably would be a few months until I have the time to finish but I can absolutely fire one down if you are interested.

[@BennHerr]

Best intro ever!

[@mitchtucker5768]

Loved the new intro! I was getting kinda bored with the last one but I wasn’t gonna say anything 😂😂

[@jdinnis]

Man I'll bet that chassis table is looking mighty tempting right about now....

[@eriklarson9137]

Just like he said in the video you commented on? And gave the reason that he doesn't have one yet? Yup.

[@dellerb]

You do you! Love the intros !!!

[@eddieparis6739]

Thanks for the video

[@Dacat_83]

Laser driven and something like photogrammetry is for real precision yeah my friend,!!’

[@shanesutton7580]

It’s so weird seeing his video not stopping on the minute and being a second or so off 😂

[@stephcooper5998]

Kevin enjoyed the intro. Stop into the Toronto Canada area beaches. Still 78° to 82°, no humidity or rain. Time taken now will shorten the 1320 ETs.

[@wretchedexcess1654]

It's always better to show your suffering and humanity. It's more relatable. If everything was made buttery smooth and looked easy, you'd have haters barking/mewling constantly! Keep at it Kevin, we'll keep watching!

[@lonnyself3920]

Great sunrise and sets in Florida' I get that mountain and ocean look great northwest, Never fun fixing frames ' yes a jig if your going to keep making chassis cars even a nice sports car frame great work thought with laser and a few mathematical devises .

[@hommie789]

Kevin, how do you prevent the frame rails from bending from welding on them as they stuck out with limited support? Do you know it was the left that was high or maybe the right was low from welding on it?

[@Mister510]

I have a chassis plate. Building and fixing stuff on it is so much easier I can't imagine building a car on the floor again! It's a 6 x 12 foot 3/4 inch steel sheet with an I beam frame under it. The newer cool thing is to have a minimalist jig for better weld access but I love having a perfectly flat plate and find myself building all sorts of non-racecar stuff on it. Being strong enough to weld a super late model down and use a porta-power against it is huge.

[@rustyh8806]

You might want to try 1/4” wide bandsaw blade, you can cut a pretty tight radius. Get a blade welder and buy blade stock in bulk to make or repair your own blades. May be a lifesaver during a late night or weekend thrash.

[@billtruett8593]

Great morning Kevin… oh yeah I’m really glad you took the time to make the front end right. Because Front end geometry is a real thing. Dog leggin at 9sec./ 145mph I think would be a little more exciting than you would want !! Great Sunday videos.

[@richardwillcoxson6177]

Can just hear Eddie in the background saying “Imagine if we had a frame table!!” 😂

[@georgem.6136]

The build is awesome & love seeing the process! Too bad you couldn't have nabbed that Chassis Jig from Cleetus

[@terrybarker6525]

Hi guys love you all

[@dannmohr5721]

If all else fails…….. beat the crap outa it…….(PS……get a “BFH”)(if someone needs translation….. pm me😂😂😂)😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@alraybaca6235]

Sunday fun day cutless day

[@patriotbrickrepairhotrodsa6099]

It's still almost 100 here in Odessa Texas 😂🥵

[@williamward3492]

Lets go cant wait to see this rig rip

[@tjcolon6573]

Keep up the good work Kevin as always 💪🏼 🏁💯 and don’t worry there’s a saying in Spanish (en casa de herrero cuchillo de palo ) in the house of the blacksmith his knifes are out of wood 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@tilt213]

68* here in Detroit at bedtime. Was 89 and cloudy this afternoon. Usually hoodie weather though. Not knocking it because the pool is still 73*

[@Drgntoyz24]

Should have bought that chassis table that cleetus had for sale. That was my first thought when you mentioned picking up a tool last video. Band saw was a good buy too tho

[@josephyoung2204]

Here in N,C it was in the high 80s and low 90s this pass week

[@bigdan1500hp]

Loved the intro!!

[@troyadams1076]

Great video

[@fotogfitzfoto412]

Our son's ex-wife from Lake went into hibernation when the temperature dropped to 70°F. He's been in Bonita Springs/Fort Myers since 2010 and has become fully acclimatised so feels the "cold" too.

[@KH-wy6em]

Now to convince my new boss to get a chassis table for his dirt cars. Lol

[@tmacie2]

Isn't it crazy how much metal will move when you weld on it? Not saying that's exactly what happened here but as you said, likely a possibility. Also, do you like the ceramic tig cups over glass ones for a specific reason? I haven't tried glass ones yet but see quite a few people use them.

[@stephenhammer7357]

nice job Kevin

[@jaratt85]

I highly suggest welding vertical up over down.. It's so much easier to have the puddle naturally below your torch where gravity wants to take it than to be fighting gravity and chasing the puddle. Hmm.. a bent frame you say.. I wonder if anyone had ever brought up that possibility before... maybe on the first video when you got that chassis? :D

[@ftcentrepreneur]

How much is a chassis jig? 🤔 looks good though! Hope your daughter has fun. Making memories is what counts when they're still young. God bless and God speed. 🙂

[@JIMMYRogula]

Cool to see, something different,, and ya daughter
