Well I have to say this .....what you have Accomplished is Totally amazing. Most seasoned fabricators or the like backyard mechanics whatever wouldn't dare tackle what you just accomplished, hats off awesome wonderful job and you got a pretty big brass set to tackle something like that and get it accomplished....merry Christmas 🎄
Mad respect! Not sure some might appreciate what it's like to work in the cold even in an enclosed space. Cold floor. Cold walls and door. Cold workpieces. Cold cold cold everywhere. LOL The "maths" are gettin more impressive too.
Mr. Incredible should be your name Sir. What "you" have done this far is just incredible! I watched you drag that car(?) On the trailer and look at it now. WOW! Someone gift this man with a shop!
The way you described the steps of this build reminds me of a high school shop teacher I knew several years ago. Who would have thought that an understanding of basic math and geometry would be such useful knowledge? LOL
Why you pay attention in math class👍👍 A very talented fabricator and welder. Made the right decision, going to be a lot stronger and able to handle more power. Awesome progress and content.
Homie, you, this car deserves a riddler award. Bold claim i know but i see the vision. And i know you see it better than i do, Nobody's got jack #$%% on this build for how much you've done so far and once its complete it wont only look good handle twice as good but probably last far beyond expectations.
Much appreciated, thank you. It’s got a long ways to go before it’s at that state but that’s the goal. Just need to keep working at it, one step at a time.
I would have made a complete frame from front to the back of the car. Just two full length framerails. I think that you could have saved a lot of time and work by building a full frame and make your own body mounts. I think this is one hell of a project to be doing alone and in such a small garage/ storage unit. I will continue to be patient and follow this entire build. Keep up the awesome job. 👍
I can only agree with all the other remarks here... You're highly skilled and I'm actually (a little, can be left out) jealous of what you have achieved so far... I wish I had half the skills you have nd the time and space to do something like that... I love watching your videos nd I will keep following the progress... Keep it up!! Greets from The Netherlands
I love watching you work and it came out just as you said. Well decided and easy to follow along. You make me want to get a welder even more. Thanks man!
I’ve seen frame rails made using mandrel bends that were very similar to these. It might have cost a bit more but you wouldn’t need the fish plates. It’s good to see a young man like yourself DIY’ing it and getting it done! You should make a kit, I’m sure they would sell! It’s the proverbial better built mousetrap! Love the build series! Keep up the great work!
I like your idea of the fish plate tying it all together rather than separate fish plates for each joint. That is good advise about researching in actual books rather than the internet. Your welds are killing it, keep up the great work.
When I first saw that car I couldn't believe the plans you had for it but I revised that and have to say you're doing some remarkable work! Thanks for this great video and I wish you and your family a wonderful New Year 🎉✌️🇺🇲
I like how this is going so far, it will look amazing once ya have it done I'm sure! And it will definitely be one of a kind! Keep up the excellent work Cale, your building yourself one hell of a resume here!
Excellent work!! Are you planning on going directly through the torsion bar cross member and tying these directly to the rear frame rails? Basically full frame. It would be really great if you make it a bolt on so you could separate the frame from the body.
The plan is to have the rails go all the way back. I don’t think I’ll make it a bolt on just because I plan on having a cage tie it all together anyway
I’ll have to check it out, my only concern is having to keep the door open with a gas heater so it kinda eliminates the purpose haha. Haven’t found something totally ideal yet
@@camracing you can just fab a custom exhaust to run under the door, the piping is super tiny and just lay a piece of insulation over top or around to keep the heat melting your storage locker door seal, that or it comes with some vents that you can keep the heater out side and just run it to the the inside of the locker to keep it toasty in there. People have been all over them on tiktok lately also doing comparisons between the small heater to their heating bill. Pretty cool
I’ve been trying to catch up to speed on the series. Very cool. I did a bit of welding for fun/tech school, but never like that. Fyi, not the best idea to weld on concrete. Something about concrete and moisture if I’m remembering correctly.
@@camracing I can’t remember if I learned that in welding school or one of the welding groups on FB. Something about the heat might expand whatever moisture might be in the concrete causing it to explode. Idk, I guess technically you’re welding the top of the square tubing and not so much like a plate directly on the surface of the concrete, so it might be fine??
Front suspension will all be QA1, I plan to sand which the engine in-between the rails and hood as much as possible. Hard to tell what it’s gonna look like clearance wise now, but I think if I make the motor mounts lower I can make something work
Im surprised you havent heard of a step joint. What you have done is stronger than factory by a long way, but step welds are better than butt welds. It all looks great though
2x3 .120 wall, works best to save weight but usually for this specific tubing a cage is suggested to keep its strength. If your wanting to do just a chassis, no cage, 2x4 .120 is what I’ve seen used. That’s what I’ve read on a few peoples websites haha
You mentioned in the last video about using a tubular k member and seeming you've gone this far and you clearly have the skills why don't you have ago about making you're own ?
@@camracing Get a tube bender and then you could make anything and everything including exhausts and cages 🤷♂️ just a thought and makes pretty good content, just don't know of you have the space.

Imagine if this young man had a bigger shop?
Heck a steel table to lay out on
This gives me hope for our future
I’d die for a steel table haha, one day!

It probably wasn’t my smartest decision to do this, but I figured why not haha. I appreciate the support, hope you had a good Christmas as well!
Well said!!
Looking forward to the 3th video....
To tackle something this big and intimidating at your age and by yourself is incredible, Cale. Major kudos!
Thank you! Probably not my smartest decision but it’s good seeing it go back together is exciting haha
Your a highly skilled young man. Well done.
Thank you! Learning as I go haha
For a young man I admire your work ethic and drive. Love how you are seeing things finished when you begin. I’m a fan. Keep at it young blood!!!
Every video you amaze me more
Great work
Awesome job 👍👊

Cold everything is right haha, it’ll make having a heated shop one day that much more worth it though!
Mr. Incredible should be your name Sir. What "you" have done this far is just incredible! I watched you drag that car(?) On the trailer and look at it now. WOW! Someone gift this man with a shop!
Haha one day hopefully I’ll have a shop and this will be 10x easier! Thanks for the support!
great stuff man, keep it up
Awesome work young man ! Matt Murray paid you a nice compliment and he is a great fabricator also.
You are a very talented young man what you have done is very cool
Much appreciated!
The way you described the steps of this build reminds me of a high school shop teacher I knew several years ago. Who would have thought that an understanding of basic math and geometry would be such useful knowledge? LOL
So true! In high school math class all I would think about is how I could apply it to cars in the future haha
Cal, you are doing an incredible job. You are one hell of a fabricator, I`m sure your parents are very proud of you!!
Haha I appreciate it, thank you!
Why you pay attention in math class👍👍 A very talented fabricator and welder. Made the right decision, going to be a lot stronger and able to handle more power. Awesome progress and content.
Much appreciated! Exactly why you pay attention in math class haha
When a difference from what you started with! I can't tell how cool it is to watch your progress! Your doing a great job! Can't wait to see more!
I appreciate the support, thank you!
Merry Christmas it’s coming along amazing
Awesome job looks great

Awesome work man. Keep it up, car is coming along and I think your channel is really going to blow up if you keep going.
I appreciate it a lot man, thank you! Hopefully one day!

I appreciate the support and the comments on every video, thank you! Heck yeah, get a welder if you can . Options are endless
Dude you do some impressive work!! Really enjoy following along on this build and can’t wait to see more. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate the support man, thank you!
Nice work young man can't wait for more

Good afternoon CAM Racing

I appreciate it, thanks for the support!
Awesome part 2
Cam get u a ELECTRIC SPACE HEATER...GREAT WORK
Wow Cale! Hell of a project you have going on. I’m always super impressed by your drive to make it happen 👏
Thanks Liv! Probably not my brightest idea to cut the car in half but it’s nice to see it go back together😅
Cam, I’m really impressed with drive and work ethics. ❤ hope you had a great Christmas.
You as well, I appreciate it!
Wow! Awesome work, dude!
Thank you Kevin!
That's going to be a hell of a machine when uour done.
I got to say some great work CAM
Making awesome progress! Fun to follow along. Keep it up 👊
And a great video, keep up the awesome work CAM RACING 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I appreciate the support, thank you!
Great build in progress, awesome work Cam Racing👍👍👍👍👍
Looking good 😜 you do some beautiful welding
When I first saw that car I couldn't believe the plans you had for it but I revised that and have to say you're doing some remarkable work! Thanks for this great video and I wish you and your family a wonderful New Year 🎉✌️🇺🇲
angled joints. In timber boat building we call it scarf joint. Its stronger because the bonding face is longer. we do 10:1 length to depth ratio.
Love your video in building this '70 Charger, my dream car that I bought before leaving for VietNam. Thank you for your persistence and quality work.
Thank you for watching!
Killing it mate, well done 👌🏽👌🏽
Hey Cam check out uncle Tony's garage he's fixing to do a rear frame repair on a 67 charger. You guys should share information about these cars.
great work ethic. just subscribed.
Thank you!
So awesome!!! I can see it. It’s gonna be sweet!!!!
Very good work!!! Love the channel!
Much appreciated!
I like how this is going so far, it will look amazing once ya have it done I'm sure! And it will definitely be one of a kind!
Keep up the excellent work Cale, your building yourself one hell of a resume here!
thank you! A driveable resume sounds like a win win to me haha
@@camracing Not only driveable, but bad to the bone driveable!👍
Looking forward to seeing more!
Happy new years
Dude, looking so proper 👌🏻💥
Much appreciated!

Looks great 🔥👏🏾👍🏾
Can't wait for part 3. I guess you'll need to raise your floor tunnel approx same distance you did the frame for driveline clearance?
That’s the plan, most the tunnel will be getting cut out…which pains me to cut into that nice AMD floor😅
@@camracing That's what i figured but projects change. good luck and have fun!
Get a diesel heater off of Amazon! They heat really good and it’s only around 100$ and they sip sip on the gas also! Seriously suggest it cam
I’ll have to check it out, my only concern is having to keep the door open with a gas heater so it kinda eliminates the purpose haha. Haven’t found something totally ideal yet

Interesting, I haven’t heard that before. Most shops have concrete floors too

Something about the heat might expand whatever moisture might be in the concrete causing it to explode. Idk, I guess technically you’re welding the top of the square tubing and not so much like a plate directly on the surface of the concrete, so it might be fine??
What front suspension/engine mounts are you going to use? How is engine to hood clearance now with raised rails?
Front suspension will all be QA1, I plan to sand which the engine in-between the rails and hood as much as possible. Hard to tell what it’s gonna look like clearance wise now, but I think if I make the motor mounts lower I can make something work
Im surprised you havent heard of a step joint. What you have done is stronger than factory by a long way, but step welds are better than butt welds.
It all looks great though
Sanitary work.
What chassis book are you using and are there any other books that you're finding useful?
The one I’m using doesn’t have a specific name…I potentially borrowed it from my school and made my own copy from it lol
@@camracing lmao, I have done that before...If you get a library card you can access a lot of great books on line too.
Hey man love the charger! im planning to do the same stance on my 71 what guage square tube you using?
2x3 .120 wall, works best to save weight but usually for this specific tubing a cage is suggested to keep its strength. If your wanting to do just a chassis, no cage, 2x4 .120 is what I’ve seen used. That’s what I’ve read on a few peoples websites haha
Hey what degree of angle on the middle of frame rail pointing upwards?
You mentioned in the last video about using a tubular k member and seeming you've gone this far and you clearly have the skills why don't you have ago about making you're own ?
I don’t have a tube bender so it would be tough. QA1 makes a really nice one that adapts easy so I plan to use that one
@@camracing Get a tube bender and then you could make anything and everything including exhausts and cages 🤷♂️ just a thought and makes pretty good content, just don't know of you have the space.
