- In this video I show you how I installed a 1934 Ford steering box in my custom frame. Eventually I will probably replace it with an early F1 pickup steering box since those are supposed to be really nice, but This will wok for now.

Your "Goal" is for it to last 100+ years ... you have wonderful attention to "detail" except on "corrosion prevention" ... EVERY place you weld or drill needs to have at least 'Zinc Chromate Primer" everywhere you have bare metal Bro (including the inner portion of a Tube Frame) ... I am only trying to tell you what is required for people to marvel at your ingenuity far past when you pass ... free advice. Also welded gussets where you cut out the frame ... "Buttress" all cut outs.
I can't tell you how wonderful your Brain works ... you do wonderful work and I love watching it !!!
Your dad and you must have spent a lot of really good times togehter in the shops over the years, beautifull work !!!
I just wanted to say, I really like the "no bullshit"-approach you have with your Videos. No unnecessary talking, no getting to 10min for that midroll-ad. You're just showing of the beautiful projects you do, nothing more, but also nothing less. Really appreciate it!
I'm loving these frequent uploads. Keep up the great work and thank you for inspiring me to create more.😀
Damn, you do it all! TIG weld, metal turning, metal forming, wood work, wood turning and all at the same time some amazing video footage. I should take some pointers from you. Keep it up, you'll be at 250,000 subs in no time.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how clean those welds are?
I love how ingenious you are with solving some little problems with everyday items!
Everything is simple, elegant, and SO nicely executed. I look forward to every video. Good work.
great to have you watching!
Oh yeah, Homemade IndyCar is back! I always enjoy to watch your project!
Great update and your fabrication skills are fantastic.
I've not commented before but felt I should let you know that I'm enjoying your project very much. In a few months, I will be starting a complete ground-up design and build of a 1940s / 50s MGTD/Mercedes stylize road car for my wife. I have acquired the engine/drive train I plan to use and most all the critical bits, the last part is the design of the body. Currently, I'm rehabbing my shop to prepare for the project. Your frequent videos and detail will be very helpful once I start the actual build; As a fellow creator I know you will understand when I say `Thank You for Sharing'
Thank you for the videos. You're quite the fabricator. keep me entertained and inspired
Very cool project and nicely documented. I like this channel.
This is a very interesting Channel. WELL DONE. I like how positive changes are being made, throughout. So we the viewer are learning with you. I am also building a Speedster type car, using a Willys L-226 Flathead 6 cylinder engine and a 1946 Ford truck straight axle. TY for sharing with us! ...Newk from Kentucky
great to have you watching!
Awesome work. Nice tools too. Thank you.
Glad you did your research on the F1 steering box. I was going to say for you to look into it but you beat me to it. Lol.
I learn something new everytime I watch your video's. This time it was the paint and marker thing. Pretty cool. Never thought about that. See MacroMachines that's why your going to be one of the best engineers in the world. Right? Well I think so anyways, That my friend looks great.
Excited for the next one!
For the love of God, mount a telescopic steering column that will collapse in on itself in case of a crash in stead of impaling you!!
But damn son, that's some epic fabrication talent you got there!
I can't wait to see you ripping it on the race track!
Great job, looks awesome!
Wow, nice job. It would be nice to have a CNC plasma cutter or just a plasma cutter. I wish I could tig weld. I bought one but got too discouraged. Keep up the good work. It will be nice to see the project done. I have a CNC plasma cutter and a mig welder. I make metal art. It is good to see a project go through all the steps; programing, cutting, forming, welding and paint.
Great job on the bracketing this machine is going to be great
I have to admit you are blowing my mind with this build I am seriously impressed and can't wait to see the end result "Keep up the good work"
Haha glad you're enjoying it!
Looks good! Please keep the uploads coming.
How the heck does a young fella like you know so much about fabrication? Your work is very good 👍
I`m over 40, and still Learning alot frrom you :) Thanks
Man this thing is gunna be sweet.
Using an endmill as a boring bar? How dare you break the purist home machinist magician code of never showing the tricks behind the magic. Lol. Nice job man and nice useful real world content. Best!
That looked clever... but I think I heard Abom shudder from 1000 miles away :)
@@donaldlittle1489 I can definitely see Adam facepalming, lol. But it got done.
Thank you for the Video, learn alot , Keep up the Good Work .!!👍👍
Just a tip, I would be putting in a collapsible steering shaft so you do not get impaled if you happen to get in a crash.
That's my thought as well.
I've seen that happen on kart buggies using small vintage boxes. Not a pretty sight.
I dig it excellent work.
4 flute end mill as a single point boring bar on lathe.......use what ya got. Nice work, great video.
Luv the Godspeed mode....
I just found your channel, I want to say, Thank you for not dubbing in that irritating background music. Just for that, I subbed to your channel. Keep up the good work.
great to have you watching!
I got to ask, did you already have an Engineering Degree before you began all of these projects or are you flying by the seat-of-your-pants? Son, you really are a breath of fresh air!!!
Haha, I'm only one year into college so I'm still pretty far from a degree
MacroMachines
You’re only one year in but already miles ahead of many of the new engineers I have worked with over the last 6 years. They may have the book smarts but at least one had to be shown how to hold an impact gun to run a bolt in. He was cross threading and kept saying there was a problem with the bolt hole when he was holding the gun on an angle.
Don’t sell yourself short. In the end a degree is just a piece of paper if they can’t apply what they “know”.
Nice work.
Super Arbeit,weiter so
Man when I was a kid we counted ourselves lucky to have a crackle box welder and a torch, Tig was something we heard rumors about.
Was that an S&K socket you were using to mark the center?
Compa que buena chamba te avienta artesanal te va a quedar de a madres
How does this front suspension works? Front axle should be bent when one wheel goes up.
What happened with the lowering video? It popped up in my feed but when I went back to watch it it wasn't there any more - accidental upload too early?
All those tools but no hole saws?
As always super impressed with your skills and ingenuity, but that hole in the frame has probably significantly weakened the frame. Do you have plans to strengthen that area?
its not a "hole" the topendplate just basicly moved inwards, and its welded again, besides that, the material used for the mount, is thicker, so i think its even stronger, its a box in a tube, welded as 1 piece
F-1 Steering Box is a Great Improvement, But in My Experience There Are At Least Two Different Ones . The Later Ones , 53-56 Have A Much Larger Mounting Flange Than Say The 48-52's. You Can Cut The Flange Down On The Later Ones, I've Done it, But That is Up To You, From A Safety Standpoint, I Won't Advise You , Just Sharing My Experiences On The F-1 Boxes.
Vw bus early works as steering box also
Kool...
Buenisimo
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Good job, congratulations
Pozdrawia widz z Polski.
Jealous of your shop access! My next house I buy will have room for such projects! I see you're now calling it an indycar, I wondered how long it would take to do that :P. Are you from Indy? If so I'd love to come check it out!
that's what I've called it the whole time, although "speedster" would probably be the better term. I was inspired for this project after visiting the museum at the Indianapolis speedway
@@MacroMachines That's basically my backyard, quite a few cars in the museum have a product of my grandpa's craftsmanship
Is it going to clear the bell housing?
yeah, I made sure there's room
👍👍👍👍
Two things- hairpins are not a good idea on a tube axle - the axle doesnt want to twist so it bends the hairpin- and you will have to think hard about bump steer when you set up the drag link- get it right and it will be a beautifull thing, get it wrong and it will be a dog. Good luck!
9:11 i thought you were going to say this is a big steering wheel
Чувак, жму руку, это круто)
Isn’t that weakening the frame a lot ?
Also try incorporating a folding steering column.... one never knows
Why not just Mount the box to the frame?? I don't understand all the extra work
You're a big boy now. Just for the sake of the videos get an engineers hammer and put that carpenter hammer in the woodshop. Its for driving nails. Ball peen will give extra cred.
a real big boy would use the nearest vise grips, adjustable spanner, power tool, or rock.
be a bigger boy, and send him one, he's still a student :)
@@francistheodorecatte Well yes, true enough but its the 21century and he isnt framing a wooden house. A good engineering hammer only costs a few bucks at a flea market.And as I said it will make him look even more skilled.
Are you going to make the steering column collapsable ?
HELL no! Why?
Are you going to make it electric?
NO, rubber band, LMFAO!
Shou de dola.
Young man, you have way too much time on your hands. You need a hobby like bird watching or restoring matchbox cars. This business of making an entire race car by hand is just silly..
Great videos btw..
WHY?
You should focus on the important things in life man... Drop college ;P
