End result was siiick. The Attention to detail with your style in the mix makes for some eye candy forsure.
Thanks!!
I have binge watching all the episodes, got nothing done in the garage today. your insight and craftsmanship are invaluable. keep doing exactly what you're doing. Hell, I will even watch all the ads if it supports this channel. 😁
Thanks Sam! That means a lot! We have lots in store
Just when I start thinking highly of my work I watch something like this and realize that there’s so much more I could do I absolutely love the attention to detail making sure every hole is evenly space and it all flows right you’re a true artist man.
Smarter, not harder! Brilliant!
Not sure why your content isn’t more popular!
Great insight to see how things are done in your trade. Simple tools with a lot of patience and attention to detail.
Awesome 😎
The channel is still in its infancy stage. Don’t worry we aren’t going anywhere! The projects, content, stories & journey has just began!
@@MorganClarkeDesign1 Good to know. I think it’s pretty cool how you do things and keep the camera rolling and show first hand-completely step by step. Never been around off road fab but it very interesting and informative. My trades a bit different working with heavy equipment, not so detailed and intricate.
Your attention to detail is amazing. You set the bar in fabrication. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!
Thank you!! I’m glad you can feel it!! And thank you for the support!
Quick TIG/cage guide maybe? It would be cool to see, how you do it ;)
There will be several stages of TIG welding episodes. The cage work will prob be split up into several avenues.
@@MorganClarkeDesign1 cool!
Very clever with the hole spacing. These are fantastic bro keep em coming.
👊🏿
Thanks for describing the mesh and where you got it. One of the hardest things for me when I started my off-road fabrication hobby was finding out the common materials you see on many builds and where to find them.
Glad to help
Pro....Fresh....in all.....................................................
Comment MCD1 if you're gonna be there when this channel blows up. Morgan your work is amazing keep it up
Thank you
This is awesome content! Thank you for sharing your design and build process, it really shows the level of quality and pride you put into your work! I really like how calm and relaxed you explain it.
Your work is consistently innovating the way things are done in this industry. I am just beginning my welding and fabrication journey but your attention to detail and design balance of every piece you touch is inspiring.
Perfectly stated! Glad Morgan is finally gaining the National notoriety he deserves. Hes obviously been quietly killin it for years, everybody in tue industry knows his rep for PERFECTION, but gettin to the masses is gonna be awesome for MCD in the future, Cant wait to see more!
I appreciate that. It’s just the way I do things. Don’t know if its wrong or right or good or bad. Just what works for me!
Would love to hear a little back story of where you came from and how you got to where you are today. Where you learned or got your experience from, places you've work for in the past. Maybe do a short documentary video about your self, make a post on insta and have people write some questions you can answer during the video.
Go to the page and was the “Roots” episode on the Chasing Passion series!
Awesome video! This is the type of content I love seeing and there’s definitely not enough of it on here! Would love to see some material blending, tube bending, and suspension geometry content. Keep it up! 👍🏼
Very nice video. I see your a lefty. 👍🏼 keep the videos coming they are very informative.
Thanks for the support! Yes I’m a lefty, so are both of my boys🖤👊🏿
@@MorganClarkeDesign1 yea only 1 of my 3 got my lefty attribute. And she loves being hands on with stuff
100% on the molykote or copper kote on the stainless hardware!!
so cleann!
👊🏿
I'm super stoked for this series. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Pizza hut vent is looking freshy! Definitely would like to see some vids on suspension set ups: where to locate brackets, rear end truss building etc. I'll be studying up so i can reapply at your shop again in the near future 😂
Great eye for detail and craftsmanship. Thanks for wanting to teach the tricks of the trade to your viewers.
Glad you enjoy. Thank you!
I truly appreciate the work that you put out you take pride in what you do. I love the contact man keep up the great work and I hope the channel continues to grow
Great insights! All your stuff is so sick, keep it up!
Much appreciated!
Absolutely loving this content 👌🏻, I will watch anything, even down to you building simple brackets, it’s the techniques and thought train you take that can be used elsewhere not just the specific part,
Love it all
Thank you! I’m glad you can feel it!
Damn good job, keep it up. We all enjoy your insight into high end fab work.
I love and appreciate the content. Please keep it coming.
Amazing! Keep the videos coming!
YES! love this stuff!
Pure artwork right there! Amazing work and skills!
Thank you!
Morgan ur a fucking beast bro ur attention to detail is mind blowing and ur fab skills are definitely in my eyes and world ur number 1 fabricator
My father is a gieser bros fan as well am I but I showed my dad Mr Morgan Clark and ur now his favorite
Thanks Dustin! Appreciate the kind words. We are just getting started! Tell your pops I say hi!
This is great! I need to make the same panel for my trophy truck behind the seats
Whew, excellent work. Thanks for citing source for that material, didn't know mcmaster had that stuff it's a struggle to find mesh locally
McMaster & also Mcnichols inc for perforated metal & mesh!
Awesome vid!
I'm about to start a build on a limited class racer here in OZ.
Your attention to detail and explanation on how to achieve it is incredibly inspiring. And count me in for wanting a suspension geometry how to session, maybe over a couple of vids!
Copy that! It’s all coming!
Love it bro
Super clean work man your work speeks for kts self great job man ... hey who built that red and white F150 at the start of the video? It looks familiar but i cant think right now its g
Got that same look like a geisser brothers prerunner that was featured in off road magazine back in 03 i believe it was built
back in the early 2000s for sean sessa a class 10 racer out of Arizona wich later he sold it to bj baldwin that truck kinda had the same paint theme but it was in blue and white
Thanks man. It’s a old spirit racing build. It’s got a updated front center mount kit. It also has isolated bypass mounts front & rear.
Turned out badass! Great work. You should do a video on how to line up/install Dzus tabs. I really want to use more of them but no idea where to start! Saw you used them for that panel so I thought I'd bring it up
It’s on the list!
@@MorganClarkeDesign1 Right on! Looking forward to it
Best in the biz! Only thing I would’ve done differently is made the mesh panels and had them ready before sending the panel out for powder coat, just to minimize the risk of scratching the panel.
Totally agree! Unfortunately this project was for the guys next door. It went out with a batch of other stuff they had before I could get to fitting the mesh! It would be more efficient not having to tip toe around fresh powder!
Yea I figured that’s what happened. Using the painters tape on the mesh to layout your cut lines is trick tho! So simple and effective. Sometimes the best solutions are the easiest/simplest ones, we just tend to overthink things.
🤙
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
you should make a video on how to fab up the airdams like the ones on stephen and eric coomers bajas
Copy that!
love the videos, it would be great to see tutorials on how to use the less common tools.
Absolutely. We will have shorts on specific tools as well
Do you always powder coat your sheet metal panels? I'm considering using Steel-It paint instead and wanted to get an expert opinion on that. Been following you for a while and love watching what you do, always blown away!
Thank you! I prefer powdercoat for most off road & sustained duty applications. Especially for areas subject to abuse and/or weather. Some people like steel-it. I wouldn’t use it on panels.
Can you do a series on tig welding roll cages?
Tig welding will be a multipart series. Roll cage fabrication will be it’s own series as well.
Can you do a video or two on hanging fiberglass fenders?
Possibly at some point.
I would have fabricated a border so the mesh was sandwiched between it and the main panel I have made a few front grills and the firs couple a few bolts pulled through so I added washers but that looked ugly so I then cut out a border the width of the frenched part and looked way better and no more grills flapping as the mesh could not flex and part to pull of the nuts.
The inner frame for mesh style openings does have its place. Purpose & location play a role in that. Also, openings on the mesh, hardware size & spacing will dictate how the panel will or will not flex. I can definitely see how a frame can be aesthetically pleasing. I’ve done it both ways Pertaining to the job. This wasn’t one of those jobs!
Only thing I don’t like about your videos so far is that they aren’t long enough! 😆 could you do a video on mounting fibreglass panels? Currently doing mine and would like to see how you do things.
We broke up the mesh video in 2 for fear of it being too long. Glad you enjoy!
How do I get a hat? Those are sick! Make Craftsmanship great again
Website will be live soon! MCD1.US
So 10-24 is just the fastener size right? 10M -24 thread pitch? Or is that the material or type of the fastener?
No, 10-24 is the fastener type. We use 316.
What are you doing to Will Heatons truck?
She lives up here. Our work is done on it for now. She’s up for sale. Nobody wants it... 😑
Great video, clear and straightforward.
May I ask your song title/music source?
Our editor would know. Maybe he can chime in
What's it cost to have you make a panel like that?
Depends on the layout & complexity of the design. We charge hourly.
Hate it when my nuts get seezed 😏😏. But man its cool to see work like this being done with diy tools honestly.
Where are u buying your cardboard from?
You’ll have to wait for our “template essentials” episode!!
Curious about that too. I’ve used poster board from an office store but it seems a little too flimsy.
