It is nice to watch a craftsman, perfectionist at work. I would think that your frame will be more accurate than a '32 frame was as it rolled out of the factory. Great video.
Thanks Joe! Hopefully she’s not crab walking down the street! Haha
Quality work Jordan
Thanks for the support Warren
Great video. There is so much information here. I don't think you can be too picky on the tolerances. I'm making my chassis jig to fit on my rotisserie so I can wheel it outside. My shop is small. Thank you for your time.
Very educational stuff Jordan for me a novice that was really helpful 👍 👌. Great work
Thanks Jason!
im enjoying the build
Outstanding job Jordan Very KOOL
Lots to go! It small steps forward
The 32 Ford is the best-looking chassis ever. Nice work.
Can’t agree more
I loved this episode. Fantastic work Jordan.
Thanks Mark! Much appreciated
One of your most interesting and informative posting
Hi Jordan, have you thought about making fold away legs instead of fixed legs on your frame. That would enable you to still fold it up and wall stow it, saving you floor space when it’s not used. Another good video. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Definitely going to come up with something like that now Paul!
Great work again Jordan. Can’t wait for the next video. Well done.
Cheers Paul
It's coming along nicely. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
Thanks man! Always great hear and see your support
Awesome work as usual. Love the sound track
Thanks for following along Cody
Love your werk .really love your single seat racer.beautiful job.
Got some more episodes coming on that next month, lots to do before racing season begins, hint one piece belly pan, louvers, carbs and more
Nice job Jordan, I reckon putting legs on the jig would be worth the effort and cost as you will have much more access to the underside than on the fab table, nice RPU on the hoist. Cheers Greg
Do agree with you Greg
Very cool!
Hello Jordon. My oldest grandson is hoping to get his hands on a model A frame. He’s sixteen. He wants to build a T pick up. As Paulvanhouts said I was to thinking of fold away legs but with threaded pads instead of casters so you could still adjust to make sure every things level. We like what you do and so we will be following along. Cheers Tim and Liam.
Great idea! Thanks for coming along guys
Good stuff!!
Great episode,good content and simple to follow!.
This car is going to be awesome!
Definitely looking forward to seeing it as a roller very soon!
Doing it right 👍
Awesome video mate! Very easy to follow! Thanks for sharing the info! 🙏🏻
Thanks for following along Nath, definitely excited about this one
Another great video, really informative and easy to follow what you were doing. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Reuben
excellent video thanks
The jig is up!!! or at least on the table. New subscriber. I am so happy that you did a video on this. I was just debating building a jig for some 3/4 scare roadsters that I am planning on building for some modified kart races. They are supposed to look like old hotrods.
Awesome mate! Look forward to seeing it
Awesome video! Patiently waiting to see how you mount the body to the chassis. Looking for ideas and inspiration to mount my 31 A Vicky on my 32 frame
Coming over soon!
Great content, just my 2 cents worth , when you release the front will it spring back up out of shape because you didn't really twist it down like you did at the start of the video with the big piece of pipe, you just pulled it down and bolted it.
Cheers.👍
Most likely hah but I will see how it goes I’ve removed it off and put back on recently and was all very close to where it sat
Move the tubing from the inside to the outside then it would be flush on the outside
Yeah I did that before tacking them in worked perfect
I just know that you must know Karl at make it kustom and all of his dimple dies and other tools he uses, plus there is Brent at halfass kustoms and some of his methods he uses to get some great results. I have been subscribed to your channel for some time but because of illness, haven't been on the computer much. I'm seventy three, have a kidney problem plus my injury that left my lumbar crushed, haven't spent any to little time in any shop. I was heavy equipment repair for years and it served me well knowing fab work so I brought that to my small auto repair shop. Enough about me but just wanted to kind of set the stage of why my comment is crazy.
I watch different things, this caught my eye and thought "Okay", just what has he got on the table now. At first I was puzzled but then it got clear to me just where your going with this. I haven't worked on the real old stuff in some time, even that said tho, my very first build from a chicken house rescue was a forty ford business coup. I took way too long doing it but I was working two jobs so hours to spend were extremely hard to find. I did get a lot out of this project of yours and do think that you are on the right track.... meaning if someone pays attention to detail, he also can do this as well with simple tools. Meaning maybe all you have is a facebook marketplace lincoln stick welder, the old "200" I think buzz box. Not much to work with compared to tools we have today. I would of done a contract killing to have a CNC machine, oh so sweet those are! Or even a plasma cutter, another game changer. I started with some blacksmith tools in the early years with two great men who knew everything steel, cast steel, and some others maybe.... I do not remember any aluminum work or even stainless as it wasn't around where I lived. Huge Blueboy Bus's were made from some aluminum for sure and that goes back into the forties. If I am able to do so, I have been looking at some old ford highboys that the bodies are fair but the frames are severely ruined from being buried in dirt. I just don't understand just why the bodies have survived. I have a son who turns sixty this year and would just love to do one more project and have him do the heavy work. He is a super welder building factories for harley and indian bikes, huge store outlets that needed his skill sets. He currently is a sup for pogo mines here in alaska where he goes underground to build quarry machines. I wish you the very best on any project you tackle and did enjoy this one for sure
Great to hear from you Morgan! Hope you’ve enjoyed the video, much more too come with this one! And many more. Hope your son and you can get working on a project this year for his 60th
Tidy mate
I find it far faster to get the frame square to the table by hanging plumb bobs from the cross members on center and then line up to the table.
Yes that would work much faster!
For a second there, I forgot you were down under, timezones, how do they work 😂What a good surprise, I just got off work!
Bonus!
Everybody needs some 32 frame rails.
They definitely are a gorgeous looking frame rail!
Nice Work.

Nice simple jig and very detailed vid and explanation. A few thing of note the joint on the rear rail replacement sections a vertical cut is simply bad practice and performs poorly over time. 45 to 60 degree angle cut is preferred. The gussets on the front and the rear would be better with a supporting gusset to stop the tab from moving side to side. Also why isn't the frame and new sections already clean bare metal.
You’re right Mark vertical isn’t ideal. I had these ones at 50 degrees but remeasured and this came out.. she will be good once welded and plated. Frame is stay like that. I don’t plan on painting body and outside rail at this time. Inside and chassis components will go black
Agrred, I was hoping for more of a Z cut, where about 50mm of the top rail is the top of the Z, then the 45 degree angle part of the Z then 50mm of the bottom rail is the bottom of the Z
Hey Jordan, I enjoyed your video! Did you ever receive the pictures of my red AV8 roadster that I sent? Sent before Christmas.
Hey John I don’t believe we did, I will double check and let you know
This boy is becoming an Aussie when he says things like "F@*k you're a legend hey?"
(just ordered a shirt and hat cheers!)
Cheers legend!
You will probably end up with a dozen tape measures that have both metric and imperial on them.
I work on older vehicles, so having a tape measure that has both types of measurement is handy.
Most definitely
I am an older guy too, I grew up with inches, still say I'm 6'4" but metric really comes so easy too
@@glennstatham960 --- l was just starting my apprenticeship when metric started, so I went through that working in both systems,
My wife , who is the same age (70yr old) I have to convert metric into imperial for her
👍
Joining frame rails Ive seen blokes cut half way through then cut horizontal for about 75mm then vertical the rest of the way and cut the other piece to match. Then oval shaped fish plates over the top. I’m worried your frame will crack.
Plenty of ways to do it, and definitely better ones than this way I’ve done it, but when finished will be good as new!
You do amazing work,and i love to watch, But its hard to concentrate,On what you are,doing,With the radiator shell,that is on the wall behind,you,that contains a part,of female anatomy on it,what is the story,behind it,cheers kym
You too, eh?
Hahah it done by a photographer called Patrick Van Der Elst he does a lot of crazy weird stuff, which I really like. A made on a million daisy flowers. It’s different, I like different
how about when you take the body off the cart, you use the cart for the frame jig?
Not a bad idea!
What is the blue coating on the steel?
Hello Jordan. Are you talking about Dennis Lacy with the famous green 32 PU ? Great helpful man. Did you get some plan from him to build your jig or just copy the idea ? I love your videos. Awesome work !
👍👍😎👍👍
Awesome 👍👍 job guys great build
Thanks Danny
good old CAD, Cardboard Aided Design, a lot cheaper than a computer and software.😅
Works a treat !
Hey this might be a dumb question, but I've noticed you use that blue coated steel for most of your jigs and fixtures, is there any reason?
Anyways, keep up the good work guys, it's inspiring!
Hey RedHawk, thank you for watching and being part of our community. Not a dumb question at all. It is just the coating they apply to steel here in Australia to seal it properly.
Remember mate, that chassis is under stress from the factory jig
Can I come and learn the trade
I'll be honest with ya bud, Can't hear what your saying while your playing background music Just so you know,
Awsome lesson yet again mate..as for the clamps try evan @hampdon industries in perth.. i live in nsw and he is cheaper than anywere over here and he is a genuine nice guy that will spend the time talking to you so he knows exactly what you need...
Legend! Thanks for the great info! He will be getting a phone call Monday!
