Diy Solid Rear Subframe Mounts on the Race Mini - PT7

[@devil2jz500]

I like that you always wear that mask. I just ordered one. A few years ago I decided to do some welding in my Datsun while it was on the rotisserie, and I had previously coated with POR15 anti rust paint the underneath part of it. Well, after 12 hours of welding the floors, I was breathing all that smoke. 3 hours after that, when I was going to bed, I realized that I couldn’t breathe. I am in my 20s and I am super healthy/fit. I nearly died that night. I got a severe case of welders fever mixed with chemical intoxication that made my skin get giant blisters all over my body, plus I was coughing blood for days. The skin inside of my nose started to fall off, just like when you burn your skin with hot water. It was a nightmare. I tell everyone, invest in a good mask! Lesson learned. I love your videos by the way! I am currently working on a 1971’ Honda Z600 AWD K24 with tubular frame.

[@88Frank]

Either is cool with me. Whatever is easier at the time for you. Great to see the progress, you make everything look so easy! Master craftsman

[@andrewcornell2157]

I believe that a combination of both styles would work well. At the end of the day, as long as it's great content, which it is, what every you feel like doing on the day is great.

[@nickblood5040]

Definitely voice over, voice is not monotone, merely factual.

[@mikegluth1981]

I like the ones where you talk while you work. We get more of that dry humour. Voice overs are fine but you should save those for when you got a lot of work and precious lil shop time. Besides if you do both it mixes it up a bit and keeps it fresh. But like most people, either way is fine with me. I'm just happy you're posting regularly. I like your content. 👍

[@philtucker1224]

Matt you’re a good clear speaker, you don’t mumble or hesitate (like some others that insist on speaking live often do) which is rather frustrating). Personally I quite like a little bit of both…by the way I’m also loving this track mini build, nice job 👍

[@mjsmeaton]

Voice over feels more insightful and personal for sum reason… keep up the good work👍🏻

[@toddde6997]

You and your voice and your sense of humor plus your skills makes the show Worth watching . thank you very much

[@dazzx10r]

I much prefer this method to be fair, it feels like we're in the workshop with you.

[@88Nash]

I like it when you talk to the camera, but all of your content is worth watching.

[@fenner-g6088]

Seriously impressive how you make the fabrication work look so bloody easy !!!!

[@beezo2560]

The mini is coming right along. I like a mixture of voice over and live vids.

[@barryrudge1576]

The voice over editing is fine and keeps the interest especially through the mundane bits.

[@imouse3246]

Agreed. TUUUUUUUUUUUBE.

[@weaverhchrist]

For my money you don't have to talk at all bro, I just like to watch you weld. you are a GREAT welder__you don't need no stinkin TIG!

[@jonathanpalmer5505]

Either style works for me too. For me it's all about learning what can be done and how best to do it and you nail that. Great stuff Matt.

[@mikediamond257]

I like this way and I like your “monotone” voice. Feels more like you’re standing right next to you as you’re doing things. Your welding ! Omg. Next level Shcmick. 10 outa 10.

[@luddy812]

I personally like this video style more than the voice over videos but i enjoy your videos anyway

[@ronbedyn3461]

Hi Matt, Love your work. Just wanted to let you know that I enjoy your explanations while you are work, seems more real somehow, get to hear your frustrations and when things are going well. And if it saves you time editing surely that's a winner. Cheers Ron

[@ryle_2058]

Sir Matt. To me voice while doing fab work is a difficult task to do but that’s way more knowledgeable to me nor to everyone, they can understand the work step by step. 💯🙏👊🏽😎. Whatever you might feel like doing is good to me,. Appreciated all of your work really awesome! 🍻

[@sylviabaird9238]

How is the build progressing? Looking forward to the next video.

[@andrewgardner9615]

Looking good-Clean shell and seems a very straight rear sub-frame.Interesting build.

[@malcolmlane-ley2044]

Great work. I think the key is to have an explanation of what and why you are doing things as it helps not only with the learning process but also builds engagement so whichever distracts you less from the filming is my answer

[@possle]

Both good imo. Depending on the level of fabrications depends on what type is best. Either way I'll still be watching. Everything I watch from you helps my with my own resto project 👊

[@michaelanderson3771]

Great content Matt. Love to see how you tackle the different issues. Talking whilst doing makes it real warts and all. The text edit on tuuuube 😂

[@daleanderson7629]

Great work as always. I appreciate the variety of VO and to camera no need to pick one.

[@tylerbarrett6652]

I much prefer the voice overs with an occasional comment or two on the live feed.

[@trevorjarvis3021]

You do whichever style of video you want Matt - there’s nothing wrong with your “monotone voice” or how you look!! It’s the content that’s interesting and indeed how you go about it, fabricating skills, Manufacturing, Engineering, mechanics, welding, plasma cutting, lathe work, hammer work. Etc etc. I enjoy everything, it’s amazing.

[@denis9450]

Said in the early days nothing wrong with your voice not hear looking for MSM type presentation just a highly skilled man doing his trade glad you stuck with it and your numbers have gone up maybe look for a CO.LAB with a youtube'r that needs a Roll cage.

[@chrismechanic2000]

ooo we love a bracket or 2, don't make too many or you know who will come calling ;).

[@jakobrebeki]

that mini is proper taking shape, looking nice. as for the video format i don`t mind. just like watching your stuff. always seem to walk away just a bit smarter each time. i am rebuilding a classic 1976 Honda CB125J fitted with a 1974 CG125 engine. reckon it will take about 4 months....

[@bradstanley116]

I like a mix of both, honestly

[@daveharris5323]

Awesome Fabrication & welding it’s coming together really well, hope you are going to bead blast or sand blast before you paint it. Just keep talking while you are videoing you’re doing great.

[@crazyoilfieldmechanic3195]

If I had trouble with your face or your voice I wouldn't be a subscriber !!! LOL I tend to think it is the projects you build and the quality of work you do that keeps me watching (for sure). I prefer the voice over style videos but it's your channel. Bar anything else.......I say TUBE !!!!

[@BrianSmart1959]

Matt, I think I'd go ahead and weld a small lip across the boot floor to hold the CF panel. That open edge seems like it's going to catch a lot of road crap and be really hard to seal up. Maybe not a big problem for a track day car unless you ever run in wet weather.

[@markmorgan9334]

Matt Urch. LEGEND! Nuff said!!

[@Jinxid77]

Man, wish I could enter the welder draw, being in Denmark sucks ;) Thanks for a great video as always. I really love how you always explain the steps you take. I'm not going to tackle anything like this, but it's fantastic to get a clearer picture of whats going on, and I'm sure the random bits of knowledge will randomly pop up and help me one day. :)

[@ruglund]

fellow dane here, I'd love to win that welder too :-)

[@Urchfab]

Sorry guys, the next one I do I will make sure it can go world wide.

[@Urchfab]

Sorry guys, the next one I do I will make sure it can go world wide.

[@peterbonnez]

Good work. Voice over works well.. Live voice woeks well too!

[@peterwall9896]

Please remember to watch the adverts people and help grow the channel 👍👍👍

[@100Jeanluc]

Hi Matt, Don't really care which method, I just enjoy your content. Love your work.

[@austinmorris3970]

Voice over works for me matt great stuff mate 👍

[@stephencook4577]

Whatever works best for you Matt. A bit of both I reckon.

[@PaulinesPastimes]

Beautiful brackets as always. Either style of video is fine with me, what ever you feel like doing at the time. All versions are good. 👌

[@micheltebraake7915]

Another nice piece of work Matt! The voice over is most pleasant when you are working, in the camera is pleasant when you explain something. It is important that you feel good about it.

[@peterhills5594]

Parcel shelf can go, just leave a flange to bond a carbon panel in and a couple of strips fore and aft.

[@paulwhiteman3625]

I’m sure the vast majority of your viewers love your dulcet tones, Matt. Great video. Quick and to the point.

[@kirkjohnson8589]

You have Absolutely Mad Mad Skills ! The Quality of Your work is Awesome and the Cars You build are Wicked Sick looking and are Super Fast ! I wait with Anticipation to see the Mini done and racing around the Track. I grew up watching Mini Cooper's Eating up the Big Block Corvette's at Laguna Seca. It was a blast to watch them Ripping up the Corkscrew. You really are Mad in a Brilliant Way and Silly too ! Don't ever lose that Ability Please. Your Fellow Mad Gear Head Captain Kirk. 😎👍🏁🏁🏁🏁🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ Rrrrrrrrrrr--R !!

[@stevenharvey4695]

The voice is much better 🤣🤣🤣 only joking .I injoy watching your channel keep up the great work. thank you

[@stuartbradbury9514]

I have no clue if these sub frame mods are common place but fair play its thinking out the box to get that competitive edge on the competition. 👌

[@sudathwarnakula2094]

Great video Matt, You are a master builder. Enjoying and learning . Thanks

[@MakewithJosh]

Those are some of the best mig welds I've seen for a while

[@timjw5704]

After working on lots of Mini's I would suggest you check the welding on the subframes, my experience is it is shocking from factory!

[@djyjrlz]

Voiceover stuff always seems to flow better and make a more consistent story. Amazing work as always matt, getting my own workshop soon so hope to get making my own videos!

[@brentonpaterson7047]

Tube. I like all your videos so happy with a mix of styles.

[@jef____4054]

All videos are good and welcomed Matt 👍🏻

[@donaldwatson6342]

Your content is GREAT! Either method you need at the time of video works well.

[@deanfletcher8486]

Love all your videos mate, but I am enjoying the voice overs 👍🏻

[@1212sman]

It kind of took me by surprise a little when you first started with the voice-over but I gotta tellya, you've struck a nice balance between the two. The vids are slicker and more (dare I say it?) professional. This build is very entertaining.

[@bruceclarke6368]

Editing at home 🏡 is a great idea,get the kids to help!

[@jeffb2456]

You’ve become an excellent fabricator. Really enjoy the videos. Any way you do them is fine.

[@sylviabaird9238]

Excellent stuff, lots of new ideas for the mini. Voice over for me

[@andyd2806]

Really enjoying this series, many thanks. I would agree with a combination of both types of film works depending on what is easier/works better. Keep up the good work

[@tomscustomshop]

Both style vids are great. I don’t mind the ‘live’ voice while doing as the old sarcastic comment comes in. Mini is looking great!

[@1farmgate]

Talk as you work I reckon, seems more real world to me anyway, should be a great little car

[@Shiryas]

Job well done, your videos have excellent content. The objective and the benefit of the mod is clearly stated then demonstrated. Broken down into easy steps that are well lit, shot, and edited.

[@MrButtonpresser]

Lovely quality welding work. A delight to watch.

[@nickharland2880]

I love the fresh take on the build, seen so many minis built over the years and its cool to get a fresh perspective on a build :D great work, as for editing vidoes, both are great, its really which is easier for you to do. :D

[@jackrusher5101]

Awesome work dude, been watching since the start of the mongrel, come on leaps and bounds man 😎

[@outwrite11]

Great vid as always. Proper CNC plasma envy again :)

[@andrewstoffel1170]

It’s your channel so do what’s best for you. One question though, you may have answered in the past, when you use the plasma table who decides the order the cuts are made in, you or the computer based on spreading the heat through the steel sheet?

[@VolV8]

Awesome work 👍 That's gonna be one stiff mini! Thanks for the upload.

[@Finnspin_unicycles]

I like either - so just do what you feel like more. (That being said, I think intros and outros are best when it's you talking to the camera)

[@paulp96275]

Videos ,anyway you like fanbloodytastic series thanks Matt 👍👨🏻‍🏭

[@hespie1]

great work Matt. Voice over is good.

[@tonyalufurai1334]

Great content. .... either way yu wish to do ur filming I've just enjoyed watching the work process

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

Nice work matt.

[@Farlig69]

Been a couple of decades plus since I was into my minis but you used to be able to get alloy bushings to replace the subframe rubber bushings for solid mounting - maybe check it out?

[@Farlig69]

6:34 and I´ll just shut up then 😂🤣😂

[@MiniMattTV]

Excellent work as always 👍 I definitely think you should weld those rear nuts on so their captive nuts, I’m surprised you didn’t. I’ve not seen anyone solid mount the rear subframe like that, maybe it’s done on the racers. Keep up the great work

[@WestCountryComposites]

Another great video, Personally I like the non voice over vids as they capture more of your emotion and general feels at the time of doing the work. When you heading to combe next?

[@davidwoods6821]

great content, we need more! which ever is easier for you. Where can I buy that welding helmet set up btw?

[@superseven7947]

Loving the mini content and don't mind either way if you do voice over or not the result is still awesone😉

[@phillcampbell5501]

The videos like this are quite good.

[@gatti5002]

whatever suits you , were merely standing in awe...

[@adamr9600]

Do the style you feel easiest. Either way the content is on point mate.

[@anypoxynames]

Are you going tohave the sub-frame dipped.

[@williamholmes9129]

Did you fold those brackets in your brake press? Were they 3mm ish👍

[@glynprice3815]

Either is good. I've watched paint dry for you Mr Urch

[@adman6380]

Nice work as always, personally I like the non voiceover style

[@mpe6678]

Great video and mods Matt. That car will handle like a train on a track. Top man.👌 from S.A

[@quartfeira]

Definitely voiceover! ✌️

[@MidEngineering]

Thought you might have junked the rear subframe completely & gone for a simple beam axle with coilovers. Or is that not allowed in the rules?

[@gonzalosanchez6387]

Great videos overall. Top quality content

[@HanifEFIMechanical]

Good work air

[@daos3300]

so when are you getting a mike and getting rid of that echo?

[@nickthorpe5990]

Are you working to a deadline ie the first round of the championship? Have you got a race license?

[@philtucker1224]

Matt, why did that mini have Mk1 light conversions on it? 🤔

[@strokermaverick]

Sir, you are sharp! In USA, sharp means, very intelligent.

[@stevefield3377]

i just love your work.

[@gwc4020]

You sure take on some projects!

[@stephenhepworth3113]

a mixture of voiceover and talking to the camera, maybe voiceovers on the more straightforward work. Keep it simple, whatever you decide, dont make yourself too much work. And can i request a rear wheel drive fiesta or cortina, with plenty of cc's next please 😆👍

[@macaulayholland3516]

Nice work chap
