    Dude. This was awesome and you crushed it, from the car to the episode. Definitely excited for the next episode. This is going to take this channel to the next level, I am confident. Just have to get eyeballs on the ep and the algo will do the work.

    Maybe not a spiderweb, but most definitely some sort of geometric design .

    Love these longer videos. I’m so glad Cory moved there because you guys make such a good team. And seeing him get more comfortable on camera over time is great. And in the gussets maybe the Ludwicks L in there

      @@JohnLudwick BTW, keeping the missteps (grounding the MIG and running our of wire) in your edit is a smart move. We appreciate the reality. If you'd left them out it removes the reality. And who hasn't grounded the welding tip and startled yourself? LOL.

    Thats neat buddy, i took a 99 jaguar vanden plas and I made a full perimeter chassis for it, it was very hard but I got it and it is so much stronger now I never was a fan of unibody construction so I fixed this jaguar with a tubular frame it had massive rot in the framerails and it was the only way to fix it to be safe.

    When you're done with fabrication I seen this really cool thing you can do to the car where they sandblasted and then powder coated with primer.

    It's definitely a big step out of the way. Im jealous of the plasma cutter. I used to use them in a past job but on a much bigger scale for JCB parts, etc. Great pieces of kit.

    Hello, great I work! Question, by using heavier steel material/ Doesn't this defeat the cars race design? Why not leave the hole you filled in, stay open? The steel alone should provide the structure enough support. Keep up the great work,thx
