Well done.... From a car builder with 33 years experience!
+RWES thanks, from a car builder with 2 years experience!
@@thomsenmotorsport7201from not a car builder and have no experience
@hansa
Can you brief a little about your academic journey and work experience in Automobile industry?
Can you please make a playlist with the whole project under one name - Properly numbered. Thanks a lot.. I loving this. Subscribed for life. Keep it up.
+Aditya Sreekumar certainly can do, I'm away at the moment so it'll have to wait until I'm back.
Hi where I can get a Solidworks sowftware to download?
just google solidworks first thing, but it's a super expensive program
its ffree for students
@@thomsenmotorsport7201 a question you might've had many times is
Why H beam vs double A arm suspension?
god how is that you only have a 4k subscribers ....you should be having like million subs ...😂 ..best vedio tutorial ever
Now 12K
Not so many people plan to build a racing car you know ;)
@@felobazo24 Now 30k
@@ulysse21 Correct!!! there is also 4x4, electric, drag, dirt oval, nascar, street, pro mod, speed/salt flats, drift, endurance, desert, hill climb, lemons, cannonball, sand dunes, amphibious... I'm sure a few more
now its 30k
It's so amazing to find a video that explains so well this type of project. Congratulations, you're making an incredible job. Keep doing more, please.
Incredible intelligence and persistence. Admirable.
Mate, just came across this channel. What a resource. Looking to purchase a formula vee for next year, but the idea of building is tempting now.
I was modeling a racing car in 3D and I found your video very helpful to achieve believable results. Thanks for taking time to make this video!
I've been a Solidworks user since '94.......Have just received 2019 and starting to play with CFD.....very exciting!
You can see where the experience of your father was 3 steps ahead of you :D GREAT JOB and nice to see father and son working together.
it's incredible what can be made in a shed, given the motivation and skill of a couple of guys:P
Wow! Dude, it is exactly what I need! God bless You and thanks for your hard but excellent work!
Fantastic work your a hero to me so structured and organised! I admire you
that’s how you achieve success on any project whether it be a horse trailer, a roll cage, or a super vee chassis.
This is so much amazing. No words to describe your work. You are very lucky to have your father helping you with his precious skills and tools. Your videos must get millions of views, you are doing something productive work rather than the pranks... Thanks for posting it
GREAT VIDEO! Very well filmed and the narration is spot on, i found it a little to follow and look at different apparatus you constructed to assist your build. I know I can slow the replay but I was keen to see your build as you showed it. thanks keen to see more.
man!!! you are the flash!!! :) one of my dreams is to build a race car like you did it!
very impressive 3d cad work hats off to you mate
Watching in 2020...who is with me ? great video !
this was helpful, I'm planning on making a drag car and this helped me design the frame so it would prevent me from getting hurt in a crash.
Wow. A lot of time and detail you put in to these plans.
Would love to see your FEA spreadsheet - that must have been quite a lot of work in itself!
Wow, this video is a real treasure...
Nice effort man
Congratulations for this vehicle
This is incredible. Haven't found any other video or video series like this on RUclips. Awesome presentation, production, explanation.. Beautiful. Thank you!!
+James Befurt thanks, I wanted to put together something I would want to watch on RUclips, good to hear it's enjoyable.
so much patience work and skill!
In the seventies I worked at McNamara. All of the tube frames were brazed. Formula Fords, Formula Threes and Formula Vee. some of the FF frames went to Winkelman. We did very nice work. All ink drawings, nobody even dreamed of CAD back then. Working as a mechanic later on, a FF made in Britain that I was responsible for had a frame failure as a result of an accident. Cheap seamed tubing had been used. There was no failure of the welds, but the tubes burst open along the seams under compression like a cardboard tube. Very nasty.
I finally have time to build a chasis. These videos are amazing and will undoubtedly help me with future projects!!
So much important knowledge in 1 video.
close to my dream that never came true .I wish to you best results and enjoy the first lap!!!
Thanks. I've enjoyed every lap, almost done its first season of racing already.
who downvotes this!?
its informative, entertaining and well shot
Fantastic video my friend. Best of luck to you on track.
This looks immensely inspired as well as inspiring!
Very precise fabrication. I'll bet that this car is going to a front runner.
I wish I had the time to build a chasis. Looks like a lot of fun
Props to pops. ❤️ Gifts from God
absolutely a great video
Thanks.
Wow, truly amazing effort! Well done! Editing is great also.
Thanks. Probably close to the same amount of time went into the video as building the chassis.
Great stuff. Really interested in seeing how the finished product goes. Looking forward to Part 2
Thanks, great to hear the feedback.
Really cool project!
Thanks.
Haven't seen such a clean project in my life, well done :D
Thank you Thank you Thank you. I have been looking for something like this for a while. I plan to build a formula car and this is amazing content and help!!!
This series of videos really got me inspired to learn to learn 3d. I'm a few years into my engineering degree now, but my dream is to be able to build a whole race car like this.
See if your university has a Formula SAE program. I started there, similar thing but with a team of students.
man thats inspiring, much respect
very well communicated. great educational resource.
Watched all parts and i can say that easily you deserve 10x more subs
Excellent video... Been there and I wish I'd had that turntable at the time...
Loving the build so far and I can't wait to see how she performs.
Love it, you guys are inspired.
this is so freakin awesome!! gonna try and design one myself :D
Looks insane!!
Very interested in this.
This video series is phenomenal! This is 98% T.V. worthy quality. I'm looking to build a car as well, and these videos are invaluable. How do you only have 4.4K subs?!?!
Thanks. Glad to hear you're getting something useful from them.
Great Work
Awesome project!
That was amazing.
Thank you.
Very impressive mate. Nice work. 👍
Again, great work. Looking forward to more.
Good vid.
This was interesting to watch. My dad and I built cars a lot simpler way than that. Not that one way or the other is better. We just use tape measures and guess work where he used a computer.
Modelling the car in CAD meant that each part was able to be built quickly and usually only once - there was very little trial and error. I'd not have been able to do this project without it, if only because I wouldn't have had the patience or willpower to put up with repeating work in that way.
Now I know that you design the chassis by yourself what make it much more amazing project! Did you made the project available somewhere? Now I'm dreaming about make it!!!!!!!!
Yeah I'd like to make it public. Most of the drawings are finished but it's not quite there yet.
@@thomsenmotorsport7201 AWEWSOME!! Can't wait to try do it myself - even with my limited skills...
Great explanation.
Really great show. Love the detail. Thanks for posting
Well done
freaking awesome job. so cool
beautiful
You got my Sub button after 10 seconds, love the clean solid look of your videos
Yeah, congratulations, real nice work
Wow this is awesome! Keep it up.
Welldone!
Thanks
Great video! Good job!
This is great. thanks for sharing.
I know this an older video, but I wanted to tell you how great of a series this is! I was wondering if you could talk briefly about how you built the Jig. I'm wanting to start building soon and I'm afraid that I'd build the Jig crooked and then the whole thing is shot. Any tips?
Thanks. We laid it out on the floor, measured, tacked it together, measured, welded, measured... Basically we just measured over and over, whatever we could to make sure it was perfect.
very well made video! well done!
Oh man. I wanted to do this, but holy macarena is it a lot of work!
Quality work mate, good job!
Nice gussets.
im 17 and planning on joining the navy next year, im ganna be living an extremely cheap lifestyle and saving all of my money to build my own open wheel racecar!!!
subscribed man im sooo amazed
What a great series of tutorials (plus racing)..Is the tubing D.O.M, or ERW
Tubing is cold drawn seamless, drawn over mandrel.
Hi! This is fantastic. I am a formula ford mechanic and fabricator. Most of the joints on our chassis are brazed, I'm curious what filler wire you are using and what material grade tube you have used.
Great video, got put on to it by a friend. I'll be watching the rest !
Thanks. I can't recall the exact type of filler I used, I selected it after doing some reading online. Glad you enjoyed the videos.
awesome
Really good video!!!
Instant subscribe
It is really a very good project. It will be great if you can share the chassis design files
Great work bro...👍👍
it's really helpful sir...thank you.
Do you offer internships? :P
This is the kind of work I want to do for the rest of my life!
Where do you live
Love it
Thanks George!!!
Yes u should have millions of subs
Awesome.
Thank you so much
amazing! be proud in what you have created. I wish i knew where to start in designing my own chassis. What program did you use to design it?
Thanks. I used Solidworks to do the 3D CAD design, Excel to analyse the strength.
The documentation of this project is excellent, and it is really cool to see everything from the design to the manufacturing. I was interested to know of any books or other sources that you referenced for the design of the frame.
Hi Jason, I mostly went off what I learnt in university as part of its FSAE team and reading online. I spoke to a few more experienced people before starting as well. I don't have any books to recommend, though it would be a good idea to find some, there are a couple of mistakes I made which might have been avoided if I had.
amazing
It's amazing
amazing!
You are very patient man. A
Is solid works something that anyone can access or is there a lease program involved?
Incredible job, do you know any tutorial to unwrap each tube of the chassis at solidworks?
The chassis jig reminds me of the Big Blue Jig used by Bad Obsession Motorsport in their Project Binky build.
Haven't seen that, it's probably a common solution though, for tig welding being able to rotate it was invaluable.
Oh yes, I've even seen them mass-produced. Coincidentally enough they're almost always blue.
This makes me want to make my own
