Putting water on it while it’s hot will make it dog leg even more..
I have welded axle tubes up on 8.8 but I tig welded with 309 wire seemed to work really good and didn’t crack!!
Tig weld with super missile rod. Preheat to 500*. Start welding and don’t stop, weld all the way around. The tube will move and follow the heat around to where it was at the start. Wrap in a blanket after welding to let cool slowly and it won’t crack.
Calypso is coming along, looking good can’t wait to see how it handles!👍🏽
Looks nice underneath. I did same thing. Disassemble and paint everything.
solid advice, when welding axle tubes (mild steel) to the center section (cast iron) you really wanna weld it, then immediately douce it with water. that loads the welds up with stress.. so when you hit your first pothole the welds will crack, but those cracks will hold the center section to the tubes since they dont crack perfectly straight. its simple science my dudes. also, another good tip from this video is dont use nickle to bond those dissimilar metals. Use a high carbon steel MIG set way too cold.. its beautiful. It will hold since they will probably never put enough power through that rear end to overcome the OEM plug welds and spin the tubes. so as long as they didnt dogleg the shit out of the diff all will be good.
Center is not cast iron its cast steel
@@blueblood76 my entire post was a joke dude, i basically gave the worst advice i could.
love how you were able to do a good cleaning under there, I’ve been putting that off on mine for too long, looking good man
Looks serious! Sooo looking forward to seeing this run in TN!
I just hope the motor and trans last that long 😆
@@BREW2LFOXBODY dont kid yourself it will
Me too!
Good stuff bro💪🏾💪🏾. It is crazy clean under the Calypso.
That's the exact same set up I want for my rear!!
It’s Christmas all over again 😂Great stuff ya’ll!!
Wow! Did that paint come out great! Also, that brace looks so much easier that the one that has the plates inside the car. Great stuff as always.
Thanks brother 🙏
To keep car stable you could get 2 long tube Jack stands to keep pressure on front what I did just because I worry about car falling off. Same stands they use in muffler shop.
Hey now. We all need a Jo Nate. Shot in the dark on spelling. Just sounding good. Sonnnnn!!! Gonna get down and dirty for sure with this setup. 👍👍👍🔥
Jonate is the man!
I used that Axle bushing tool on my Mach rear and didnt catch the bur and stripped the nut and bolt (cross threaded) and had to replace to finish the job. Those get hot AF with all that pressure also!!!
nice, nice, nice stuff Brew, TeamZs suspension is badass dude! double adjustable sweetess!!! if you ever put a cage in that car, TeamZ cages are sweet too. when you cool your welds like that they harden and can become brittle. easy way yo set your pinion angle, disconnect one upper control arm, set your angle with the one thats connected, then adjust and install the disconnected arm. way easier than trying to adjust both at the same time. if you get a solid brand diff cover for your 8.8, thier powder coat closely matches TeamZs😁
Man what a nice setup !!
I just did the strange 35 spline axle swap, I put the Hy Tuff’s in. I don’t know if you have researched it any but the Strange Axle studs are prone to bending/twisting and they actually only rate them to 600 hp. I went ahead and swapped mine out for ARP studs before I even put them in the car. We welded my tubes up without a jig also, worked fine and it’s been good for 4 years. I have relocated uppers also and the car launches so nice... your going to love it.
I hope it hooks! We will see 👀
Hey bubba, cars looking good and gona hook even better, I got excited when I saw them rotors for the front. Hope everythings good with ya, and yours....
Sweet!
Always great content love watching!
Funny how often you hear “ this is not how you do it”!
Lol I’m obligated to tell people 👀😆
Fancy bushing tool, I drilled mine out 😂. Good thing they were original and brittle. Just did all of this last week.
I’m sorry
Cooling your welds down while hot like that is a REALLY BAD IDEA.
You would be better off welding preheating the axle and tube slightly- maybe 150 degrees and welding a 1.5” on one side and flipping to the direct opposite side of one axle tube at a time until it’s complete.
Anyone with basic knowledge of metallurgy and welding would tell you the same.
While I won’t argue with you on the fact that cooling welds like that is a bad idea.... but honestly a few good tacks would hold it.
Nice! Hope you did yours the right way
Just need to chop the front end off and add a tubular front and you are good to go. I have the same set up for now lol.
That’s probably coming 👍
That thing should hook up even on a dirt road!
I hope so
Building a beast brother!
The hammered finish looks great.
4 Lug EEEEEEEEWWWWWW just kidding looks good can't wait to see her on the road.
I ended up getting the powerstop Z26 Street Warrior fronts! Lots of bute!
Maybe these will help some
Always Team Z FTW
I woke my wife up at midnight to help me when I was trying to wrestle my rearend back under the car by myself lol.
Man your car looks great, motivates and depresses me at the same time lol
Dropping some dolla bills for that delivery. Nice!
It was pricey for sure
Why would anyone hate on the BMR toque box kit looks nice!
Im jealous I need to do my rear too
Ya know how those trolls are. Lol
@@BREW2LFOXBODY not to be a hater but I don’t think your gunna like those solid bushing but from a price stand point and durability I understand why you got them. I’d like to see what your car makes when you hitting a dyno?
Nice job, the underside looking good and strong.
Nate has some sunburned hand!😂
Can't wait to see how it hooks up when you are done . What size tires are you going to run in the back ?
275/50/15 👍
I changed out rear ends on my mustang in my driveway on back with a single jack in 100° florida sun with no help. It wasnt fun.
I feel ya brother... 🔥🥵
@@BREW2LFOXBODY check your IG real quick. I found something you MIGHT be interested in.
Please show how to set pinion angle.. Thanks for the video!!
Will do
Looking good buddy. We should lock in a race if I can get to one of these events
No need to lock in brother, I’m always game to run 👌
Nice video! Just got a set of those rims!
What are you using for paint under the car. I need to do that to mine
Satin black and SEM undercoating
are you gonna do a anti roll bar or axle tube braces like UPR, racecraft inc, or tigvision fabrication sells, i ran them on mine, cheap insurance.
I’d be tempted to weld in the upper braces where the bolt to the subframe.
So with the BMR kit you don't have to do anything inside the car? All bolted in underneath?
Sounds like you need to turn your wire feed speed up.
We did. It was burning in a lot better
Looks Great under there
Have any rear steer without a pan hard bar?
Welding gloves? What welding gloves?
No rear sway bar mount on those lowers?
Not on these.
But still no 5 lugs😂😂😂😂😂😂. I know it’s not necessary, but lol.
I would have to buy all new wheels... 😳
@@BREW2LFOXBODY your going to anyways!........eventually 😂. (I do understand the convenience of interchangeability, just giving you crap)
Whats the benefit of welding the axle tubes?
Keep them from spinning under stress
Thinking you might need another foxbody..call it the peoples parts car...you must have a pile of extra parts saved up to build another foxbody buy now.all those new goodies you exchanging.
He said that’s not the right way to do it, lol, what is the correct way??
Take it apart and use an alignment bar and dies to guarantee no issues.
Just an FYI sweet video dude
👍💪💯
i don't know any other way to weld axle tubes...looks like the "right way" to me.
Looking sweet! Gonna start calling you Captain! You gonna hook so hard. So what would we call Andrew? :)
Drag Queen works for Andrew 👸
@@BREW2LFOXBODY ha!!! I wasn’t going that far!
If it doesn't hook up an haul ass now it's not going to lol
Exactly 🤯
Shoot fly me down next time and I can weld anything you please.
man you really hate 5 lug
Nah.. LOL just trying to show people it’s not necessary
@Chris K what you want me to say? I get questioned on this topic all the time. I just don’t care for a 5 lug swap other than wheel options and all my wheels are 4 lug already. So it’s pointless for me to swap then have to go buy more wheels.
Noooooooo water!!!!!! Use air compressior!!!!!!
I would if it was on anything else
That brace kit looks badass!! I may go with somethg like that on my 79
Ole car gonna hook and book!!!
Again why would you weld it
When you apply pressure in a drag race scene, when car hooks hard over and over it will cause the center section to break loose from the tubes and kick it up into floor busting alot of stuff
@@jerespeed1271 he isnt dragging it. That's my question. Why would he weld it?
Oh ok. Then why does he need 35 spline axles and all that high dollar suspension?
If your going to do it you do it right.
Like most of us we spiral out of control just like he said budget build went out the window with suspension parts. What’s going to happen next year when he builds dart block on 25psi.
