Good to see you teaching the young man!
Did Keegan get one of those "I helped build this" shirts? Man was putting in some time! Stoked for the next video
Haha yeah seriously!
tiny suggestion, you could make a rear mesh in between the original height of the bed and the new higher one, that way hot air from the radiator has a way of coming out when you are street driving and the top panel is on, that way the top panel can be completelly flat and nothing small on the load falls through
I was going to comment the same thing! I also think it would look way better in the long run and not have a chance of stuff fall through onto the radiator.
Might not look good because you'd then have to cut the bed door
I think he means that solid strip in the back could be mesh that way he doesn’t have to mess with the tailgate
Someone get this man one of those contour tools that tile layers use to get perfect fit cut tiles!
Seriously tho, kinda amazed how well you can follow a contour without one. And definitely a little jealous of Keegan getting that Gingium instruction time!
I’ve been watching your videos for quite a few years now gingium and I love the progression you’ve had with the channel. Even with your toughest time probably being your move to your new state, you still pumped out videos of building/working on your cars and it really just made me think of when you were in your parents garage. Anyway you’re one of the most genuine RUclipsrs out there man keep up the good work!👍
Thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate the support a ton!!
Keegan's shop slides going hard
Young Keegan was doing a great job with that welder! nice one dude 👌👍 , that truck is dreamy man I’m loving it I’d love to be annoying my neighbours with that 😂
Love that your showing Keegan some knowledge!
man Keegen has grown up soooo fast I remember watching the quad bike videos and now he's soooo big
Tip
Don’t mig weld near your nice new aluminium radiator!
The welding sparks that can be tiny or even much larger than a grain of salt can find their way into inconvenient places. If they are very hot they can stick to the very thin walls of the core and create a weak spot when they come loose, or they can stay there and cause corrosion eating away the alloy.
Was thinking the same the whole time was stressing me out
Very good point
Wait a minute... Gingium has a son 👌 keep that bloke on,killing it on the welding
lil' Keegan ain't that little no more. great to see him taking his first steps in the fabium world
Caleb making this whole giant process look as easy as a simple arts and crafts project. well done dude
I'm sure it's a lil late for this one but some dimple die holes in the back wall would not only look cool but will also help with air flow when the floor plates are on, and you could do matching ones in the tail gate so it flows all the way through
you can still do the dimple dies by using an impact to drive a nut and bolt through the middle for the clamping force
Yeaaaaah that would’ve been cool 😢
@@chrismichaelyoung I meant late as in maybe he already did it depending on how far ahead he is on videos
@@_Gingium_ you can still do it if it's something you wanna do
Totally agree. Some dimple dies along the back wall would help alleviate any airflow build up while driving with the top covered. Great idea!
For the flooring thats going over the radiator, have you considered doing a grate instead of a solid piece with air vents? That way, it would be visible even when its in street mode, and the air flow will remain solid.
that's a grate idea
Yes I think that’s exactly what I’ll do actually!!
Nice! @@_Gingium_
@@chrismichaelyoungmy kind of humor 😄
man you really deserve more views for the quality of work and videos you put out. hope you're enjoying starfield, i've been playing it too much so i haven't caught any live streams yet
Haha I appreciate it! Definitely been enjoying Starfield. Maybe a little too much 😂
Awesome to see Keegan again! Hope to see him back more often to learn from you Ging! :D
I absolutely love that you're teaching the next generation in the best possible way. Great job for real.
I maintain that you have the most unique car builds on RUclips
Safety glasses, gloves, ear defenders and sliders 😂😂
I'm so proud of you because you woke up and started using metric
As I was watching this, I still can't believe your content went from sticker-bombing the interior bits of Fred the Focus to this. I love your channel and its been an incredible ride
Edit to say it was super cool to see Keegan again and how much he has grown! He put in some serious work this video and its cool to see you teach him the ropes and give him the chance to do things. Gonna give this kid the passion and skills to do what you do in no time. Keep it up!!
lil Bro growing up!
Gingium and Prizzamike are my top 2 favorite car channels.. will I ever use what I learn from them on my own projects? Maybe 🤷♂️ but it's 100% inspiration and influence towards my aspirations
wait till you go down the rabbit hole that is "bad obsession motorsport"👍
Idea for the cooling. Cut the backside plates you put in the bed and cut lower side of the tailgate if the hinges dont go to that part. With this way you could use the bed and you wont lose any cooling. :)
That bed looks like it finna be STURDY
Yet again, another superb quality video. My prayer for you is that your chancel gets the recognition it deserves brother 💪
Drift truck looking insane 😍
Love that the tacks look like rivets!
bruh I happened to come a cross your videos in the middle of when you first started the rally Miata and I've loved them, and now your videos are hella sick and can't get enough of the builds no matter which build. hell yeah man
I think some "speed holes" in the very back would look awesome and help with cooling
you inspired my mini drift truck build love this
absolutely love this project
Crazy asl to think I remember u not even knowing how to weld and now u have come to be full on fabricator and its crazy killin the game
2 things... 1 are you sure it's a good idea to put the fuel tank right over the drive shaft with nothing to protect it if the shaft breaks. 2 are you going to put some vent holes in the bed or back panel of the bed floor to help hot air escape from under the bed cause I feel like you might have overheating issues if you don't
Dope video, that bed looks unreal!
I think the level you threw away is the correct one 🤣
Good to see you get some more help in the shop!
Absolutely amazing work man! So fun to watch. Keep it up!!
Looks great now I started throwing some frame jacks
Quick suggestion. You should get the bed sandblasted. It'd clean up the old rubber coating, rust, and paint and make it so much easier to just quickly prep and SteelIT the whole thing gray.
I'm so glad I found this channel, I love when actual car RUclipsrs really working on their own cars 👏🏾👍🏽. Keep it up bro 💯
Maaaaaaaaan the bed is looking so nice, it really does transform it form a messy set of pipes to a purposeful display of fabrication. Keep pushing through ging 💪
Food for thought, when you make the "cover plates" and complete the bed. Look into doing the structural rolls that most truck beds have. You can use a thinner gauge metal to save on weight while keeping that rigidity and usefulness.
You always leave me wondering how the hell you do this stuff. Absolutely amazing is honestly an understatement with your work.
This car is becoming so good!
Keep it up!
i just love how this channel transitioned slowly from a gaming channel to an automotive channel
I've been watching your channel for a long time, and I must say, your build quality and attention to detail has drastically improved. Not that it was bad before.... Awesome work!
Put vents in the rear vertical piece in addition to the bed plate.
You should also cut holes and add rubber flaps into the fan shroud for better airflow when the fans are off. Look at Flyin Miata's higher end fan shrouds for inspiration.
Some old school hot rod style louvers would be a nice way to get a little air flow on that back plate by the tail gate. Keeps it low profile and you could maybe even us em over the top of the rad
Just a hint, you can check if a level indicates correctly by putting it on something that's somewhat close to level, take note of where the plum is, turn the level 180 degrees around and put it in the same spot again. If the plum is in the same spot, your level is good. If it's in a different spot, your level is bad.
love this series fr
You should definitely do tie bars from the bottom of the bed sides to the bed because the bed side will flex and bend without them. Also should drill holes between the old bed height and the new floor so you can vent the hot air put when the floor cover is on by opening the tailgate when driving
14:15 though. Just amazing
@gingium I think you should drill speed holes in the rear plate behind the radiator to help with air flow while the floor plates are in
What are you going to do in terms of painting the frame? Powdercoating, flat black or durabak?
The frame itself? Probably black Steel It
Consider making the removable plates out of aluminum for weight reasons. Get ya-self some of that diamond pattern aluminum plate.
I am never dissapointed with these vides bro! Keep up the hard work! Lookin hella sick! :D
This looks so awesome
You should rethink below the tailgate and make that a vent for the radiator. Either active flaps or just speed holes like you do on bumpers to release captured air.
Just a suggestion, but if you put some speed holes in the vertical portion at the rear. With some matching vents in the tailgate, you maybe wouldn't have to add vents to the floor and risk any material falling through. Cheers
Love the roast of the Imperial units 😂😂😂
2:42 Giving you a thumbs up just for that.
I’m so excited to see this thing done!!! and paint or wrap whatever you it’s gonna be so 🔥🔥
This channel deserves more sub.💖
I love the finesser shirt 😂😂😂😂
Caleb-ium, what are you going to do if (when) you tap something with the bed? Way too custom now. Maybe just replace outer panel portions? Or just rock the damage? Sick build either way man!
Looks awesome
Awesome solution. Maybe you already did off camera, but those bed mounts will be way stronger in compression if you weld up the corners that you had slotted for bending.
Love the vids man cant wait to meet you one day
Ayo the fuck did they gave keegan to eat bro!? My man looking like a whole ass senior
I ate my lettuce
I'd really like to see the front fenders done in a way somewhat similar to some Group B homologation cars. The seam/crease/line or whatever it's called right above the wheel arch seems like the perfect place to just put new metal in and widen the front.
Nice work ❤️ 👍🏾
good to see u making progress🛻
Love that you have realised metric is the only way to go
Not only is gingium making this build functional for a purpose he originally designed it not to do he is also making it have more strength for wall taps lol but great thinking having removable plates in the bed for cooling and just overall making it look sick
I really hope u drive this a lot when it’s done , take part in some comps or something
Back panel by suspension and radiator should be a light smoked plexiglass panel
honestly some round holes in the vertical plate after the radiator and the gate of hte bed not only would look sick but also provide some airflow when you have the top cover on
You could make some tool storage in the bed, could be useful
Instead of a removable plate, you ships do a strong mesh screen for the radiator fans to breath through but also durable enough to put shit on top of
These videos are so easy to watch for them being longer videos. Very nice work 🫶🏼
Check out Devin Niemela as well. A bit more of a nut and bolt guy (he can knock out an engine swap in a day from broken to first start) however he just AWD K swapped an FK8 Type R. I'm excited to see what he does next given everything he learned doing that.
Gingium is probably my favorite fab RUclipsr though. Got to meet him twice at MATG this year and he's an awesome guy.
Maybe a louvered tailgate, they look great with the right look, and if you vent the raised bed it could dissipate heat
I fricking love this build but I was wondering if you couldn't leave the rear of the bed open or simply cover it with some mesh or drill some speed holes. Then you could drift the truck with a full bed.
Also, all cantilever suspensions I've seen on YT have pivoting mounts for the shocks. Will you do that in the future? I'd be worried to bend the rod of the shock.
Make sure you add some good thick shielding between your drive shaft and fuel tank!
Are you worried about weight at all with all this extra metal?
I cut out more than I added
Teachium
Caleb the secret Canadian!
Humpty dumpty is getting real with these cars
I think you can officially say that this car has more math into building it than Oppenheimer did with project Manhattan.
When are you gonna be doing the turbo build on the Honda Fit?
I just came back to your channel after having unsubscribed for quite a while and have to say......BIG IMPROVEMENTS!! resubscribed ! keep up the good work. + your cm/mm anti imperial remark sealed the deal 🤣
killer!
19:19 drill some holes and dimple this peace so there can be airflow when cover is on
Just do a front mount rad that’s really wide/deep, but not very tall, so it basically fits the grill space, then duct/vent it out the hood in the space above/in front of the battery pack/motor.
Been watching since you were working on your wrx out of your garage.
EL teachium instructor
knowing Caleb hates the imperial measuring system, he instantly gained a hell of a lot of respect from me! METRIC FTW!!!!
Blew my mind the first time I realized my level was not correct lol I didn't know that was possible and buy did it give me a headache trying to figure out why I couldn't get the machine level...
Gingium
cant wait to see this jon rip
