    It really is cool to see the progression from the “rather exuberant” guys from the early episodes, to the respected craftsmen we see today. Jimmy, Jeremy, thank you for letting us appreciate the skill you guys possess, and #Powernation thank you for letting these guys become who they are today. I know that I will appreciate the #Carcass show for years to come.

    This is a great video. Thanks for doing it. You do create very nice welds with your technique and setup. The camera shots of the welding are also very good. TIG welding has an artistic aspect to it. When the helmet goes down all else goes away except the puddle.

  • @FJTovar
    @FJTovar 3 роки тому +6

    Well, I hope you don't forget to put a top reinforcement bar on the shocks hoop, because all that tension from the shocks will bend the chassis inward.
    And the brackets for the axle links seems too weaks.
    YOU GUYS KEEP ON MOVING, EVERYTHING GOES VERY WELL.

    You can’t run a steering box with a triangulated four-link front suspension; you’ll have uncorrectable bump steer. You either need to run full hydraulic steering, or run a three-link with a track bar.

    Awesome video, how’d you make sure the axles were completely square before measuring for control arms? Plumb bobs? I’m assuming that the frame was leveled before any plumb bob was used? How about the axles caster? It’s safe to assume that you positioned the axles at the optimum position first? I’d love to do a build and am in the metal trades, you are all awesome! I’m curious if you got sunburns from welding without sleeves?

    When welding near machined parts, especially with MIG anti-spatter spray is your friend. Also when welding near threads its a good idea to thread the piece in before starting... make sure your ground doesn't transfer through the threads.
