To calculate the material needed in a bend, you want to find the arc length. The arc length of a 360 degree circle is 2*pi*radius. Multiply that buy the angle you want to achieve and divide by 360. For example, 4" centerline radius die would need 2*3.14*4"=25.12". So it would take 25.12" to make a complete circle. For a 70 degree angle, multiply that be 70 and divide by 360=4.88". This won't account for the material stretch though. I hope that helps.
Your vision, skills and execution are mind-blowing. To basically design as you go takes a lot of experience and knowledge. Just your bending and notching skill is a sight to behold. I think you have also saved a lot of weight from this video with a massive reduction of kinda's. Makes it much more pleasant to watch.
@@markgriffin4888 The opposite is true. I can't stand it. Superfluous use of filler words is usually a sign of being uneducated. When seemingly intelligent people do it, it is so damn annoying. I am slightly OCD with things like that, and it really spoils my enjoyment. I point it out to anyone I talk to face-to-face as well, so it is not a keyboard warrior thing.
damn that's a HUGE amount of weight savings even despite the amount of tube used etc... crazy work. Any plans to swap the radiator core support for a more idk, "standardized" piece (flat stock/ etc)? Not sure how to word it exactly.
Hi Sir. Very inspiring videos. Thank you for your time. Question: On your tubing bender, what kind of hydraudlic pump do you use for your set up? I found your other video on the bender.. Thanks
Just a tip, you can stand on the scale while holding each part and subtract your body weight. Seems a bit more accurate than trying to balance it on the scale just my experience 🤙🏻
In the background of the shot where you picked up the car is a stack of wheel cribs. Im curious as to the size of them. I have material to build some but I don’t think I need them as big as I planned (16x16x15). I need the height to do body work in the rockers and chassis mods. Love the channel and have learned a lot since the days at the old shop and the Bibbsters humble beginnings
Amazing work, however if you remove the original bumper reinforcement off the original front clip, it's gonna be lighter than. The one you made. Then you can either use the newer fiberglass reinforcement or you can make your on small reinforcement bar and probably be the same weight as what you made. So all the weight on the original is the original bumper reinforcement.
Son ... of.....a .....bitch..... I seriously learnt me something today. Haha The radius always throws me for a loop! Thanks man, I will put the logic you gave me to work. It worked for carbon fiber components, I gave that a try, and now it is so easy. Thanks again man!
That shirt is bangin lol
He’s got that Boyd Coddington vibe too with that beard lol
Clean work as usual. Really enjoy watching your builds.
Man I love the goose get loose she looks good and that Workshop you got did a good job

The explanation on the bender leg / height length was cool. Great work as always

😀😀😀 I take it that you can stand " like " or " ya know " either !!!🖒🖒🖒

That's a lot of weight. = Free horse power! That thing is looking nice man!
I just have to say. This is amazing. Nice job, Nice Music. Very well done.
Love watching videos of your foxes. Makes me wish I was as talented as you so I could build mine to be as badass as all of yours.

yeah potentially
Great content , keep up the awesome work ! Thank You ! 🇺🇲 🇵🇷 🦊 👍
Awesome Video Bro
Love the Build
The Goose is Lookin Good!
Need a Drivin Video! 💪😎🇺🇸
I noticed the Seymour brand spray paint. Man they have the best stuff, nice work!
Awesome!!!! Like the way it’s tied in and that you left the part of rad support. Diggin the flannel Dixon?
Clean! Wish you was closer.. I'd try to talked you into some work.
I think when i did mine, it was like 80 lbs dropped off the nose or something ridiculous like that. I did the rsm kit though

My 350Z doors weighed 90 pounds each after complete gutting of the glass and electronics with some cutting of the metal structure.
Nice work

yeah it might be close, but I was needing to make space as too
Do Your Passion!
💭 I’d love that in my stang man! Possibly making set for a viewer lmk if that could be a thing?
I try not to do customer work
Rock Solid Motorsports makes a really nice kit. And goes together with ease. Just food for thought.
What brand is that belt sander?

@@Thefabforums Thanks.
Not going with the rear mounted radiator?
most likely not
What wall thickness of tube are you using for this?
the 1 5/8 is .085 moly I think. The 1 inch is .065 moly
Is this car going to be a full drag car with cage?
no
Wouldn't the removal of the front 'crash bar' make it that your vechicle won't be registerable, I don't know if the vechicle has airbags or not ??????
Most states don’t have an inspection requirement, especially if it’s already registered.
Is the car being built for drag or drift?
Everything....I guess I would classify it as more Pro Touring
Watts link in the rear?
triangulated four link setups don't really need them....although if needed I may make one down the road
50 pounds is a lot of free horsepower

She’s gonna be a skinny girl 😎👍
You're making my head hurt. I think I'm starting to like fox bodies. I hate ford.
lol...everyone thinks Im a Ford guy. Really just a foxbody guy. Prefer chevy when it comes to old trucks
@Thefabforums same here. I think I like the late 70's early 80's camero.
