New episode, sweeeet !

The Kings Crown!!!

Stoked to see you lads working on your own rides 🤙

[@garystinten9339]

So Matt... You want to explain what's going on?? Matt: uhhhh no.. turns and walks out of the shed

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

I love how you guys willing admit you have never done something, and find the right folks who can teach you. personal development like that is priceless and so fun when you "get" what it is they are teaching.

[@sky73x]

So keen to see this come together. 0:26 - "I

[@RS-uy5lv]

Paused at 39sec to look at comments for BBC - not disappointed 😂

[@c20neTD]

The Harrop episode, a 1.5 hour special please.

[@belvit]

Love this build and that it’s a sponsored build. Al deserves a dream build like this! 👌🏼

[@jonathanwright5550]

Who's the sponsor??

[@embbuilt]

I felt that LJ Torana dig. I started split tubing mine 15 years ago. It is still not done.

[@Shane_Torok]

I got some real depressing shit going at the moment. Thanks for posting stuff like this. It really gives a brother something to look forward too.

[@russ123321bunya]

You'll get through it mate.

[@Elxmo]

Chin up bruv, the Skid Factory fam have your back if you need us 👊

[@MrGixxer1300r]

I don't think it matters if it is Woody's, Alan's, a friend's or a customer's car the work quality that gets done at Alans shop is pretty hard to match even by much larger shops due to the fact Alan and crew never let anything out the door half assed. It is a true privilege to be able to watch you guys do your thing, for that I thank you.

[@oldschoolmotorsickle]

Matt is an artist; period. Good planning makes good results. Very precise, insists upon a butt weld, knowing that lap joins are nests for corrosion. The finished product looks factory, well worth the costs.

[@patrick247two]

Nice tubby. Consider holding a auto darkening welding lens over the camera lens while welding. Looks amazing.

[@someyoungguy6990]

When Al's new engine hits the dyno it will be all nerves until he see's the numbers, then he will be a hansom little tubby with a massive chubby.....lol Love ya work guys !!!

[@ericm8811]

Hey skid factory! I like your style! All fast no flash! Greetings from Vancouver British Columbia Canada! Ride ride ride!

[@amysato7882]

Also Cortina has TRW front rack same thing just a bit wider , however the pitman arms will end up close to your front rims when you add ackermans angle , great build

[@Villageidiotsworkshop]

That smoke from burning undercoating 🤤 Gotta go back to the workshop

[@aserta]

Chopper back fenders make for great tub substitutes in the right size, if one wants to start with a clean slate. I helped a friend tub his old Mercedes and we used the biggest fender we could find. Came out really clean, factory.

[@djrug]

Trailer mud guards or wheel covers come with a square edge and usually a larger radius. I've used chopper guards on open wheel kit car and they worked great with rolled edge on both sides.

[@leetester8612]

this car puts a smile on my face almost as big as al's .

[@GarageItYourself]

Any progress is always a good things Al. Keeps the motivation flowing 😉 Steering is always a PITA when doing such a massive change to any vehicle but being mates with a mechanical engineer sure is a boon 😊

[@Twisted666]

Great work guys it nice to see your a humble man Al shows real character im so disappointed I miss you guys at rocky nats keep up the great work love the show.

[@davidthompson245]

Matt is a man of few words,just get it done attitude!.

[@Mr16bit]

Any time Dandy gets mentioned i get excited. You're in safe hands Mr Yoda sir.

[@marvinmartian7941]

The first one will always be the best imo .... we went on a school excursion to Melbourne to see it way back and the teacher had no idea what type off movie we were going to see ... hehehehehehe .....

[@simeonorive145]

Sweet beats on this episode. Old Matty is a good looking rooster my missus will watch more episodes with me if he keeps showing up.

[@theskidfactory]

Expanding our audience base.

[@SpeedmanRC]

Over 10 years ago I heard dum dum used for the black sticky pasty/glue. Butyl is the more correct term but I still use dum dum or "sticky black tape" for the need to stick a window vapor barrier, weather strip that don't hold or even around wire/AC lines running through a bulk head. Crazy how long the stuff lasts doing it's job.

[@bladieeightwheels]

Some legit one handed death wheel skills on show here respect 💪

[@stefanmondello8220]

The harrop factory is a great place to visit.

[@davidt3196]

Stoked to see you guy's working on your own lately and it would be awesome if you guy's organised a meet up/cruise when you come down to Melbourne.

[@theskidfactory]

We know pretty much nothing about the layout of melbourne and where anything happens so it's unlikely

[@jonathanwright5550]

Gotta be good welds when the seat belt mounts are in that panel

[@BradGryphonn]

Maryborough has some pretty cool small industries. I remember delivering a hydraulic shaft out of a dozer that had to be straightened and then hard-chromed. I picked it up in Blackwater and ran it down. Picked it up a week later. Hard-chroming is complex and I reckon it would look kick-arse on some engine and drivetrain components. It has a darker, deeper look to standard reflective chrome. And of course, is hard with the Nickel base.

[@pete1973x]

Awesome build Al, loving the problem solving going on.

[@evanboubouka3031]

Ooh, Skid Factory Melbourne Meet would be mint!

Would've been funny to splice in a clip of Scott Morrison ''welding'' somewhere!

[@ACCELGarage]

My brother Callum works at Harrop. If you could get his mug on camera that would be awesome lol

[@theskidfactory]

Tell him to find us, we'll be down there in a couple of weeks.

[@MadRS]

I'm of the understanding that a mini-tub is to the factory frame rails and tubing is modifying the factory frame to have the wheel well go past the factory position.

[@johngrislis187]

mini tubbing is changing the tubs and keeping stock rail location

[@Holmesy89]

That's how I saw it too.

[@andygrace3825]

maximum oil pressure sounds like a good plan, keep at it, it's appreciated

[@bennyfactor]

Really shaping up nicely boys!

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Been a while since I have caught a Skid Factory episode, but looks like a good one to catch up on. Tubbing is way easier to do that I would have thought. Guess now I have a MIG nothing looks as scary as it once did.

[@19thstep]

So this is a more challenging build than the Barra Bedford?

[@alanbutler8253]

Yes but in different ways.

[@subadude3543]

I cant wait to hear this car fire up. I like when you guys work on your own cars, content is so much better.

[@BradGryphonn]

That's some seriously complex stuff you're doing there, Yoda. Rock n Roll!

[@damien8957]

Looking forward to the harrop video if there is one. While you guys are there tell them hurry up with the hilux e locker stock issue lol

[@jpstrim]

Picking Pete's brain is always a bit of an adventure haha You will almost always come back with a new direction to fix a problem though.

[@DanWallis86]

Enjoyed the music in this episode.

[@ToxicMrSmith]

Seems like if you had a small portable sand blaster, it could be good to blast all the area inside the well before you cut it and then where it's to be welded. Save finicky grinding later. I might be biased though I used to be a blaster.

[@hobo1704]

Love the early Torana dig

[@evanboubouka3031]

Love how the burnt rubber had to be scraped away before welding!

[@TheCptawesum]

That's not burnt rubber it's a factory coating

[@theskidfactory]

There was a fair bit of burnt rubber from the 2jz in there also.

[@andysp8845]

Al! You're one of the funniest guys on KZbin!

[@mitch2839]

I love this show. It just gets better.

[@xozindustries7451]

I’m surprised you didn’t cover the paint to protect it from welding sparks and grinding

[@greatdane3343]

And the Hako 😮

[@cfparson]

I get excited when the intro is short - it means there is going to be a lot of content.

[@hugglepot]

Have the rear chassis rails been modified ( narrowed) as the inner guards on a stock crown are already flush with the edge of the rails ?

[@adaml19]

Thank you so much for giving realistic prices!! 👌👌👌 Tedium= $$$$

[@ivanszky]

what a legend Matty

[@andersjjensen]

This thing is going to be every kind of stupid wild! Blown 7.5L V8 in a car that's the size of a shopping trolley seems completely reasonable to me! :P

[@joshs199]

I love the Hako build video's..! Id be a legend in my town here in the US. I'd I could take this car out to meets. 🤘😌🥃

Can you find some lower control arms that are A Arms like the top instead of using the strut rods?

[@jelledevries2280]

Good morning from 🇳🇱

[@nismofreak33]

hell yea. hey Al, if you want the OEM finish the in arches, use spray seam sealer, not the butal or raptor liner stuff. Seam sealer is what the OEM's use.

[@SerenaBluee]

Seam sealer is different - a silicone sealant that you apply over any seams to keep moisture out. The textured rubber coating I think you mean is often referred to as "body schutz" in Europe from brands such as 3M or Wurth, or alternatively called rubberised stonechip / textured underseal.

[@adman6380]

Tubby, nice work

[@Pumpadeedle]

My favourite part was Al’s funny joke 😂🤙

[@kennethsmith3260]

hahaha, your crown is slow but the project is fast 🔥. nice work guys. great video.

The crown jewels.

[@RyanMiller-ly4li]

Relatively easy to do unless the tub is part of the rear struts. Then it becomes abit of a pain in the ass. When you smooth off the seam sealer spray your fingers with rubbing alcohol. It makes for a much better finish.

[@HL-hw6qp]

Or WD40.
