Triangulated 4 LINK Chassis Modifications - THE SKID FACTORY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- In this episode of the Big Block Crown build we get stuck into mounting a Sheet metal Ford 9" diff into the Crown chassis and modify the suspension layout from 3 link/Panhard rod to triangulated 4 link.
Thanks to Matt from Rogan Industries for the expertise. @roganindustries

How you mad lads don't have over a million subs is beyond me. The fact that you guys go into detail and explain the process of the job and give awesome advice to your viewers, this should be enough to get you guys over the line surely.
Keep up the good work fellas 👌
The million sub channels are edited for 10 year olds.
Likes should be 10% of views so I suspect people are not subscribing, just watching.
Al doing the proper Australian burnout in the small tractor got an immediate like!
I want the T-shirt!
I would call that a wheelie, not a burn-out
@@pashakdescilly7517 he did do a burnout...
I’d call that a ride on mower.
Al's a brilliant car builder. Even more so he's brilliant enough to know there are other guys like John with the engine build and Matt with the rear end set up who are experts to appreciate. Legend.
can't remember who .. but someone said ' a wise man understands how little he knows '
The older I get the more I realise how little I know.
An old mate of mine whom i spent many years with helping him build cars and do engine conversions back in 80s an 90s his favorite saying as the wise man was why bark when you've got a dog never quite knowing what he meant. Then one day as a young man i asked him what the f..k it meant. Then he explained that i was his dog.
Exactly. I've unsubsribed from more than one hack channel where they are more worried about making content than making stuff right. The Nissan President is a perfect example.
Don’t forget about the ep where they tuned John’s ute with a new carby - despite Al’s prejudice towards carbies he remained open minded and was willing to learn what can be done with a properly designed and sized one
Shout out to Woody for timing the "clang" in the backing track with the gearbox hitting the crossmember. That sort of detail is the mark of a true craftsman!
I legit thought he just put that sound in there until I realised it was the song 😂
I really loved the behind the scenes stuff of you pulling the chassis out from behind the shed. You need to add more of it into the videos !
All I know is they all should be level at ride hight. Also I would still add a rear sway bar !
They always do...
this above average engineering is new to me im just used to industry standard
Hello everyone. Super happy to be here.
We all should be so grateful for this place 🙏
19:51 “Everything’s illegal if you ask people that are shit” put that on a shirt. Best comment ever!
The best advice you’ve given so far. ‘If you don’t know what you’re doing, get someone who does’.
Skid Factory's best skid ever.
Precision pine, hand crafted! Bahahah Nice one Woody!
Glad two Al working on something for himself can't wait to see it done
Gotta get a wheelie bar and chute for that mower - love it! 🤣🤣🤣
Got to love a good CAD template.
That Matt guy is quite a confidence inspiring professional !
Al must be getting pretty pumped to see progress on the Crown moving forward.
“Rust repairs” love your work guys 🤣🤣
It's awesome watching someone who knows what they are doing. I wouldn't have a clue on how to set up suspension geometry.
I actually build new chassis for old cars like this and used to assemble the new chassis and it is really cool to see this channel taking on a similar job to what I do for my job.
Brilliant episode! Matt is such a metalworking legend. Looking forward to seeing the Crown in all it's glorious episodes that will come.
My favourite show on UA-cam
Magic work boys. Loving the level of detail you've put in the video in terms of the work that goes into this sort of project, Top stuff. Even just stuff being angle-grinded - love seeing the detail
Matt is such a technician, it’s a pleasure watching him work.
Should have a chat to the lads at Patriot Campers about about powder coating,they powder coated the young fellows fj chassis they other day.Could be a good collab as well.
love ya work lads!!!🤘
I enjoyed the laughs, it’s really cool seeing you guys having fun. And Matt’s an excellent recurring character, it’s great seeing a young rooster with some skills and a great work ethic. 10/10 would watch again.
So a young rooster and not an old cock?
Cool to see Al and Woody tackle this project, even cooler seeing their pals helping out 👏
Its amazing how a MS55 had a 3
link and panhard rod from factory in the early70s .. So way ahead of everyone else
Absolutely love the environmentally friendly, malleable engine mounts.
Another *fab* episode boisssss
I see what you did there
Good to see you’re using CAD* for the project
*cardboard aided design
There isn't a car enthusiast alive who can resist doing lawnmower wheelies.
Glad to see Al working on his own car! Even more glad that it's a Big Block!!!
Awesome video, Matt seems like an absolute legend.
Is that a SUPRA! I own a Mk3 supra, same colour as the one in the intro, stock standard, very fun to drive 🤙🏽
Such a cool project and so great to see all the details. So many channels and car shows gloss over all the insane work that goes into a build like this. As others have said: I can't believe you haven't hit a million subs yet, the quality of the content is miles ahead of so many massive channels, as are the jokes.
Great to see you guys having fun! Woody’s laugh at the cox wheelie was superb
love the chassis builders work ethic !!! awsome work !!!
I love the subtle smartassery lol 😂
@22:26 that minty precision pine wood *chef's kiss*
You guys need an 'Old car stuff' shirt!
The Binkie project must have rubbed off in a big way... that funky bracket making segment was awesome! Blokes in sheds will be pleased.
HQ suspension bids when one side is lifted , because the 2 trailing arms are fighting each other .
XF falcon arms up/low are inline , the watts linkage controls sideways movement
As always Alan and Woody awesome content. Keep up the hard work
I think more people will complain about the spirit level not beeping than the cutting of the body :)
"Make the Noise" 😁
I'd love to see a video explaining more around the mods allowable under NCOP and how you can work with/around this. I always thought the crossmember notch would not be permitted, especially with a heavy engine being installed. I'd also love to know how you are getting around the forced induction engine capacity multiplier!
I believe the trick here is the car is pre-ADR, being a 68.
The intro skid and Al with the limmi finger 😂😂😂👌👌👌👌🤌🤌🤌
I'M Only here for knowledge and the SKIDS. Thanks again gentleman. Cheers!.
Global Powdercoating at Archerfield in Brisbane do very nice work. They have multiple large ovens.
Been a subscriber here for a few years. I feel like the lawnmower was the first time I've witnessed a skid on The Skid Factory lol.
Been quite a few skids, the Volvo project car got some good smoke iirc.
*Insert "Last time I was this early" joke here.*
No seriously... I wanna see em all 🤣
Last time I was this early, I missed the apex.
Last time I was this early the cheese snags weren't in the Bain Marie yet
I think its going ro be the coolest TSF build yet
Half hour episode, Perfect!
Every time I see a level, I can hear Richard say, “make the noise!”
Those precision pine engine keeper in placers are top quality!
Stoked to see Roger not lazing around and getting stuck into the broom 🧹
Bloody good apprentice!
Grinding. Welding. Shorts. Must be Queensland 🙂
Yep QLP PPE
Good to see the rust repairs are going well boys
See you in Rocky.
New short, sweet intro... Just Al yelling "Yeah" while the mower is wheel hoppin.
Love this thing. As an Alan myself sitting on couple ke20s love the old Toyota's to. If i had the parts or $$ id be doing the same, but id do turbo in a cruiser like that. Cant wait to see future vids 🤘👊
Mega as usual gents
Evil goblin doing skids on a ride on is exactly what I needed to see through my bout of COVID.
Been making my own mounts too suit each car over 30 years similar too tuff mounts ,good too see they have spent time and money producing vehicular specific kits,few hours too produce a set for one car all the best too fellas at TUFF MOUNTS look forward too using their mounts save me some time and skin.
Get to Rocky Nats by planes, trains and auto mobiles to check out some....... auto mobiles. This thing is gonna be sweet, can't wait to see it doing another skid in the shed.
I'm excited for you Al!
Never knew crowns suffered so much front end rust! 😜
Can't wait for the MA70
Thanks for the welding "explanation". Not everything is TIG, despite what UA-cam tells you! A bit the same with stainless vs mild steel......
Best skid on the channel to date
That guy Mick is a Genius. Live this episode 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Fitting music when Al was cutting the floor.
Looking amazing guys, can't wait to see it done and hear it 💪
It's nice seeing Matt use C.A.D. (cardboard aided design)
Al man crushing on Matt..
Haha,
I have a 40 series crown and used the same steering rack too, random 😅
Also, i used the electric column from the yaris too - used the upper half of the crown column and lower section of the yaris
Woody missed his chance to give Al a lemon squash on that tow mower, $20 says Al would have lost half if the way it was hopping. Sad for the lemons but funny af for us!!
And tell Matt my mum says hi.....!
Nice video thanks 👌 woke up to do the 4 link suspension myself today and Saw this video pop-up
BEST INRO EVER!!!!!!!
Another Toy Let o what a feeling😁
I'll tell you what...you send me Boss 260/290 intakes and I'll send you BB Chevs! I loved the engine swap steps...so true! Sometimes you just have to roll with it and make it work. Amazing content as always guys!
Mornings, guys!
I can see a shirt with 'is this illegal? I don't know' coming out
Aww man, where was this video 6 months ago lol. More top work fellas.
Got my hoodie delivered today boys love it and I never miss an episode
Ye ol' wackin stick and presision pine blocking. . . Well atute to your precision methodry
Great to see the CAD design for the brackets.... cardboard assisted design... that is hehe
Hahaha it would be illegal! To not do suspension upgrades. I'm glade to see you guys working on your own cars. Cant wait to see what woodie does with the ford! love the show.
Has to be THE best start to one of your videos 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Precision pine love it
The shenanigans with the lawnmower is a classic "..I bet you can't....." moment
Might be best build ..from SKID FACTORY. ..cause ,Woody give Alan = Hurry up to build His Own Car.👍
In reference to 19:40, it's only illegal if you get caught by someone who cares ;-) And excellent music while you removed that small section of the body!
Matt said this wasn't being done in CAD, then, the next shot, out comes the cardboard! (CAD = Cardboard Aided Design)
Thank you really enjoyed this episode. Heaps done lads!!! tyty
Well the last train out of Sydney's almost gone... To Rockynats
Music on the 24min fab scene is on point
Oooo, check out Jotun Jotamastic 90 for the chassis paint. It's 2 part industrial epoxy paint and as tuff as powder coating 👌As for cutting the body being illegal? Well not really, so long as everything remains structurally sound and the vehicle engineer is happy with it then shouldn't be a problem 😉
Love the music choice
24:35 - Vernier caliper being used as a scribe burnt my eyes.
