I hope one day Cleetus will convince Rob to build a proper American eagle car and Rob convinces Cleetus to build a proper land of the rising sun Dorito powered car.
“I would not have thought to do this” that remark right there is why I’ve grown to really like you. Your not someone who pretends to know it all. When you don’t you admit it. And that awareness makes me respect you so much more than just being a guy who is building a car that pretends he knows every in and out. It also makes watching your progression that much more satisfying to me.
Counterbores should be flat bottomed under load it will deform on the 118 degree drill tips and your hubs will come loose. You need a pilot tip counterbore tool or your' hubs are gonna come flying off
Exactly why I didn’t go full depth so someone can help fix it 😂 but I appreciate the details. It makes sense I don’t want to mess with the thing holding my tires to the car
This is one of the most amazing cars on planet earth. Rob your attention to detail is insane! Coming from a 3 rotor that you constantly were verbally abused for.... for being a hack job. I hope everything goes smoothly for you! There are always going to be bumps in the road. Especially when you are building something so complicated and groundbreaking. No matter how much you try to think ahead and plan, there are always going to be issues and problems that you need to solve. Just do not let critical and negative people bring you down, stay strong my man, power on and continue to build your dreams.
I never post comments on videos but, what this car stands for goes far beyond what I love about cars. Its the creativity and inspiration of builds like this that make me want to start another project. As many of us know there are failures that set us back in this hobby that make us want to throw up our hands and give up but, you my friend persevere and, it is truly awe inspiring!
I wish everyone could understand how much excitement and tears of joy your holding back! I can hear it in ur voice. I have had many projects myself where I just had to control my excitement till it was fully done and not rush it! I am addicted to this build rob!! Thanks for letting all of us enjoy this monumental build!! So excited myself when I get the notification of a new video from you!!!
This is awesome! I don't like / get it when people make comments about your car taking long. You're building a car from the ground up using high end custom parts. All that takes time and money. I appreciate what you're doing.
I just love how everything slides, clinks, clanks and snaps in with this project. Everything is so highly engineered and designed. Top notch.. cream of the crop stuff. Unheard of. Never been done, never been seen before. I know there are behind the scenes dirty work. But what we see.. is sooo Dahm satisfying.
Hey Rob, aren't the holes for the countersunk screws in the wheel carrier too small or have too little air gap for the cylindrical head? If the screw thread takes full advantage of the clearance in the hole and the countersunk hole allows a smaller tolerance, the countersunk head may be loaded transversely and will stress the screw with torsion bending. Potential failure mode: fatigue failure.
Daaaaa-yamn, brothers, this car is off the HOOK! In every respect, it is so beautiful, and beautifully engineered. I am super excited for you guys, you're SO close to having this ROCKETSHIP, all DONE!
@@GortPredator Your message is THERE, just with the wrong spelling of that word! LOL Very slick if it was intentional, or bad timing if just a mistake. Yes, Rob knows what he wants and just needs more people around to teach him how to do it.
I just want to say that I love watching this build come together. No lie, I watch this so I can live viciously through you as I am deployed and wish I could play with cars!! Keep it up man. Can’t wait for the next vid!
I'm not an import or rotary fan, but love the attention to detail and seeing the nuts and bolts of the project. My hobbies and work are very similar in that I do some fabrication and welding and also construction work and do a mix of building things from scratch and also repairing existing machines/structures. Like Rob, I learned to do much of the work on my own vehicles. With doing some changes on my sandrail frame and vw engine (cv joints on the rear IRS) I have had a small taste of what he is working on......his build is only 1,000 times more extreme and complicated, but I would feel right at home if I was helping him on that car.........and I live only 20 minutes from his shop as far as I can tell.
I can't believe this actually happening, this car is actually going to be running and moving under its own power, it's almost too good to be true, feels surreal haha. If I am feeling like this, I can only imagine how Rob must be feeling, it's been a long time coming, super expensive and one hell of a ride, thats for sure. This is probably one of the longest and most anticipated car builds on YT right about now for car guys like us.
countersinking aluminum for SHCS - make sure and retourque after some use, because the drill bit leaves a conical bottom, and the SHCS will pound that out. also try tapmagic for aluminum for drilling / tapping aluminum - notable cinnamon smell, best alu cutting lube i've ever found.
Hi Rob, have been following your build from the beginning. Really excited now as its all coming together. First thing I do after work is look for your new uploads. If this car is ever in or near England, I will make every effort to come see it in the flesh!!!!!
Rob i have to say this car is absolutely sick and beautifully built. i have been watching it for a long time and since the suspension was complete I have had dreams about putting suspension like that in a car. now with everything else setup too it has totally come life and holy shit wow, looks unreal. this future is now rob dahm has made that 4rotor.
ALERT!! Please revisit the bolt hole you counter sunk and make them flat. It looks.like you created a stress point in the bolt, by not sitting flat when it's tightened it will deform the hole,possibly could come loose or snap after it comes loose. Hope to see you and the smiles this project will give you for a long time to come. Brilliant idea that gives me pleasure to see it come together and I know you will not be disappoint by its performance.
Hey what you need is a counterbore bit that will leave the proper flat bottom bore for the cap screws because now they are just digging into the edge of the taper and could get loose after a while. but you can come back later and give it a pass with the counterbore bit.
Hey rob im a fabricator for a living and if you get some coper anti-seize and put them on all of your bolts that tread into aluminum it will lessen the chance of them stripping. It will still cross thread but it just helps it not to. Its better then putting grease on them.
I look forward to these updates all the time. Truly some inspirational shit my man, you've got a clear vision and unlike many others you actually get things done. Can't wait to see you drop the clutch at WOT on this beast, keep up the fucking fantastic work.
Should have used an end mill to finish the bottom of the hole to take out taper put in from drill bit... now there is only a tiny amount of surface area for the bottom of bolt head to tighten on... not the end of the world now but definitely do it before car is 100% done... bolts will def come loose if ya leave taper in there
Congratulations, Rob! These videos have been my favorite ones lately. There‘s so much I‘ve learned and I‘ve come a lot closer to planning my dream car! Keep it up and good luck with the SEMA deadline.
Hey FYI I saw something about those Corvette hubs breaking wheel studs. They showed something about pulling those studs out and drilling them out and installing larger (thicker&longer) ARP wheel studs
8:36 shouldn't you use a bit that can flatten out the lip that the bolt heads sit on? The underside of the bolt head is flat so having it sit on a tapered surface might be very bad.
@@ryanschaff123 Wrong, you get 0 work experience when you do a ME degree. If you want experience then your gonna have to get an internship or join some of the university design teams. we
DO NOT "countersink" socket head cap screws. You need to be using a counter bore to create a flat shoulder for bolt to sit against, NOT a drill bit. Right now as you tighten the bolt you are sitting against an angled surface from the tip drill bit, meaning the bottom of the bolt has a very small contact area. This WILL cause the bolt to loosen over time, and rather quickly, as all of the force is exerted into one small corner resting on a tapered angle instead of the full face of the bolt on a flat shoulder.
Rob, I just wanna say, if you need to skip a day or two to finish the 4 rotor, PLEASE TAKE IT! Bring it to SEMA first :) I can't imagine how much work all that editing on top of building the car takes!
If that second oil cooler is not needed, you can pump the gear oil from your transmission, through a filter, and make that a transmission oil cooler. But then you would have to amount to more coolers one for the transfer case and one for each differential. Also if you do not need that secondary oil cooler oh, you can use it as a fuel cooler. Or you can run the oil through it like you had originally planned I really prevent any overheating when idling for long periods. And somebody mentioned in your video not driving long distances... A car like that should be able to drive from Alaska down to Florida then up to Maine and back down to Southern California. That's a hell of a lot of miles, and you probably wouldn't want to drive that anyway, but it would be amazing to say it is that reliable.
I love how everything is coming together, it’s so satisfying, I’m by no means a long time sub or watched many videos, but i always followed in the dark, and was kinda watching so i kinda knew what was going on and I love it
Hey rob love the build. Keep doing what your doing. You inspire backyard hack jobs like me to push harder. I've learned a lot watching these videos. Keep it up man!!! Wxcited to hear it rip
That is not a Cnc drill press, it’s a standard manual drill press.... drilling into a cnc machined part. Either way your doing amazing job. We are so pumped for you!
Dude if you don’t use a plug drill bit to drill them countersink holes on the upright the bolts will come loose all the time. As you have already drilled them now you will need to get some washers the same shape as the drill bit made to fit the hole now. For the drive shaft bolts i used to use schnor washers to stop them coming loose.

Thank you!! Got a little bit before she’s ready to give you any sort of challenge but you know I’ll be knocking on your door as I get it close
Cleetus McFarland less positivity. More trash talk
I hope one day Cleetus will convince Rob to build a proper American eagle car and Rob convinces Cleetus to build a proper land of the rising sun Dorito powered car.
@@RobDahm that means cleetus has your bell on rob
Can’t wait to see the Cleetus vs Rob Dahm drag race 😯
Kind of upset you got the clutch so fast. I was waiting to buy it on eBay
You know this is a true OG subscriber! History in this joke!
I was going to get get a job at ups so that I could buy it from the employee auction
That's made my day! Pissing myself laughing 👍
Alex Conkle no such thing lmao
That’s what happed last time. The motor was sold to a ups employee as a lost package

And a trusty call to notter. Build to Apex can you re billet my billet billet with some extra billet please...... Billlet
por mans way is to use a standard drill and grind the tipp flat and sharpen the tipp like the crown of a norman drill but now in the flat angle.
You could buy a matching center cutting endmill and you should be able to flatten that bottom real easy.
You can put a matching taper on to the bolts as well and that should actually help using the same concept as a lug nut
Haha Rob you have been dreaming for four years.. of Isaiah holding your shaft with two hands on camera in POV. Good one.
Sloth Big W....
Most people just powder coat their suspensions at sema, you actually built it better. One of a kind.
"that's smaller than I expected... Even though it looks big in your hands"
Daddy Dahm 2019
Funny how it looks bigger in your hands lol
"I can feel the plunging working!"
Friken lol’d at the “everything is fine” meme
The man has a half a million dollar car and still makes Mario Kart references.
I can only aspire.
This is why we support you Rob.
I love how you have the shape of a Rotor machined into the spindle even though it will be hidden behind the hub, that’s attention to detail.
I had forgotten I did that to be honest. I was goofing around in CAD and thought it would be funny
This is one of the most amazing cars on planet earth. Rob your attention to detail is insane! Coming from a 3 rotor that you constantly were verbally abused for.... for being a hack job.

Never clicked on a video so fast..i mean didnt even saw the title as soon as seen the thumbnail knew exactly its rob
TJ hunt: basically done
B is For Build: just needs to do bodywork and reassemble the interior
Rob: hold my beer
@Rob Dahm. I dont know much about custom car mechanics. But I enjoy all of these videos you are producing. Thank you so much.
Hey Rob, aren't the holes for the countersunk screws in the wheel carrier too small or have too little air gap for the cylindrical head?
If the screw thread takes full advantage of the clearance in the hole and the countersunk hole allows a smaller tolerance, the countersunk head may be loaded transversely and will stress the screw with torsion bending.
Potential failure mode: fatigue failure.
B is for build: I got the strongest axles on the market.

Dang. This thing might actually make it to SEMA.
And it might even ve running
And it might even be running

In every respect, it is so beautiful, and beautifully engineered.
I am super excited for you guys, you're SO close to having this ROCKETSHIP, all DONE!
“CNC drill press”....proceeds to adjust it manually.
He was joking
He then say he is going to countersink but then counter bored. His passion is their just not his terminology.

I was so fascinated by this video. I love how in depth you were with explaining how things fit together

It really is so cool seeing this all come together for. Just another fine example of what hard work & determination can truly do!
Watching this thing come together makes me happy been watching before I graduated high school
I've never wanted Rob to finish the 4 rotor in time this much as now. I'm hyped
Man, I hope people realize how awesome this is, those parts really are works of art, can't wait to see it rippin👍
This build...this odyssey...seeing it come to fruition is surreal.
5:28 Thumbs up for centripetal force!! My physics prof. would love you for getting that right.

This is absolutely awesome dude!! Your killing it! Can wait to see you driving it!
I feel proud too ... since iv watched this from the beginning.. I am so stoked for you rob
Keep it pushing, you are so close... rooting for you man
I love watching this build, all away from Iceland.

It has been a long time coming ! Nice work rob !!!! Cheers for bringing us this goodness
I feel like this build is coming along so quick now, can't wait to see the 4 rotor drop in!!
3:20 is it cool for the drive shafts to have that much gap from(i think its called) the spline and the actual shaft? Not sure just asking.
THE GREATEST UA-cam CAR BUILD OF ALL TIME, OF ALL TIME!
Nice work Rob . Now if only it was Right Hand Drive

It’s so close I’m so happy Rob can’t wait for it to be done and pop a fat burnout!
So awesome been excited to see the build in progress good job man!!!!
I love watching your videos and seeing your progress. Best build on UA-cam in my opinion so keep up the great work!
The right stuff. Awesome sealer but it's gonna be fun when the time comes to take them apart.
That is not a Cnc drill press, it’s a standard manual drill press.... drilling into a cnc machined part. Either way your doing amazing job. We are so pumped for you!
Haha that was me being tongue in cheek
12:14 is a perfect slot for brake ducts!
This is such a cool build, very well engineered Rob, good job.
Wow it's crazy how well made this car is love it man
Dude if you don’t use a plug drill bit to drill them countersink holes on the upright the bolts will come loose all the time. As you have already drilled them now you will need to get some washers the same shape as the drill bit made to fit the hole now. For the drive shaft bolts i used to use schnor washers to stop them coming loose.
Starting to see how epic this car is really going to be. Happy for you. Good shit 🤙
So excited for this to be a finished product, it’s gonna be crazy
