Instead of fitting more tubes on the chassis this video, I begin to install the new lower control arm chassis side brackets. This is a pretty critical installation because if they are not installed perfectly square into the chassis, binding can be introduced into the rear suspension movements and we DO NOT want that!!

Can’t say it enough- Kevin your channel is the best. Love how you make time for your kids and still make content for all of us to watch. I’m picking up lots of ideas of how to apply your knowledge to my 67’ Nova build. Keep up the good work!
Looking forward to seeing Cutliss win it's class at world cup. Attention to detail is mind boggling.
in 2027...........
Great video Kevin! You're a good dad and have your priorities straight. You are a perfectionist and are awesome to watch.
Kevin, being fastidious in your work approach is an important skill to ensure the quality of the KSR brand.
@@stephcooper5998 Kevin don't get this wrong, you don't skip on driver's safety with that said you have to get things done on the Cutlass for us to enjoy.... I understand family first it cost me alot!!!! Enjoy your family but please work more..🙃🙃🙃🙃
Dad, business owner , car ....in that order. Great information and explanations. Many thanks.

I find myself avoiding certain projects on cars. So much so that I’ll do unnecessary upgrades to avoid it. 😆 Once I’m into it, it’s no different than any other problem to solve. So Kevin is right. Just do it!
At least you’re building I’m still sitting on my brain not being able to figure out how to build something without money space or the physical ability because my back is shot😂. Like I said before I live through you. 😂
Well we are in the same boat
Good day nice boat you have.
Kevin you inspire me thanks for being in the entertainment in my world.
47yo and in the same boat. Glad we have YT to watch as we waste away in life.

Ok hear me out. “Building a car” doesn’t have to be just “building a car”. I’m a big man with limited mobility who tires quick. I started modding Powerwheels for the neice and nephew. Gave um custom paint jobs, modded the wheels and powertrain. Added speakers, underglow and a usb… did it cheap, when I was younger I raced dirt oval RC cars, and built plastic car models. Not nearly as cool as building your own drag car but it’s still neat and fun. During lockdown I took up carving wooden spoons, just sat in a chair with RUclips on and a cheap knife carving my spoons. Plenty of creative things you can do with a wrecked back and no money.
Never get tired of the Oldsmobuick Regalass! 😂
You must be a Eddie fan 😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
Awesome to see how you get the brackets to line up so everything works the way it should .
Keep the content coming!!! Love the Cutlass!
Its Gutless Funday Sunday and i am watching a old one. Hope to see new one up latter
Great job Kevin! I look forward to Cutlass Day every week. Definitely appreciate the return of the soundtrack which is a bit weird because my main music tastes are much heavier. I agree with you in the matter of our children's education, as I find it mostly useless to say the least. It seems like you have the delicate balancing act of Dad life and business owner life worked out. Well done sir!
Happy Sunday ‼️ with a build of this level, there are a lot of bars that have to be installed. It's interesting seeing the steps and your thought process on a chassis build.
I just got off the jobsite and KSR has an upload. Let's just say my girlfriend "thinks" that I'm working over, on Sunday. I'll give eight hours on the clock, and explain to her nextweek.❤😊
Good to see some other parts get some attention everything has to work together
I just wanna say congratulations on the Connecticut race. Let’s go hurry up and put a video out.😂😂😂😂😂
You win at Stafford!! It’s not an easy track!!! Congratulations!!
Those fireball fixture clamps are money dude
Best part of Sundays!!
i watch cj steeve and you for precision exacting work. sure there are more your my favs
The music is very good for a time lapse. One eight of an inch might not be much but everything to do with suspension and traction is important.
Take care Kevin.
I appreciate your striving for perfection! Have fun at the lake Kevin! And good luck at the race!
Kevin, Just in case you didn’t know it, the biggest draw to the KSR RUclips channel is you and your very articulate way of explaining things. Especially when you couple it with that look that you give at around 3:12 in the above video. I want to support you and your channel because you know what you’re talking about and I think you should prosper like a rock star. That look you have when you keep your head facing forward and you peer out of the right side of your face. That look should be trademarked with a t-shirt. I would definitely wear one.
Congratulations on the win tonight excellent driving brother
Hell, yeah brother, let’s go Sunday video getting my fix in
kevin been hang out with you on the vidoes things come up appreciate your content 100%
Love my sunday Cutlass videos. I'm learning a lot about building a good race car. I'm looking forward to seeing you on the 1/4 mile leaving people behind.
SMASH that like button Y'all.
I really like watching this car come togather you make great progress with each video and give us so much information on how and why you are doing what your doing I have learned a lot from this channle I wish there were more videos from you but I know people got to work I can never wait till the next one to come out
Love these videos!
Did this stuff years ago!
Those spring buckets front and rear are super important!
You are setting up your 4way torque steer!
Absolutely no rushing this part!
Great job Kevin!👍🍻
Always glad to see your content. Thank you!
Love watching you Kevin! This series has definitely got me adding bars to my Gbody! Thanks for the great content, tech tips, and real worls explanations as akways, can't wait for the next video!!!
Good job on the frame chopping! Son, that was a cut- job and a 1/2! Yea, I’d box it just for the giggles. Yes, summers are shorter, thanx for the music! I think the term you might’ve been searching for is “frame flex”. Any motion resulting in your original car frame moving could bend and toss you out of square.
Much love from Guam/ Washington state! Hope to meet ya at Sema sometime 🤙🏾🇬🇺🇺🇸🍻
Kevin i just want to say you are the #1 dad of youtube. Respect brotha 🙏
Cutliss Sunday FunDay
And once again!!!!!! YES YES AND MOREEEEEE YESSSSSSS! cant wait to see this a sick week!
It's smart to pit those control brakes exactly how you want them it will be a piece of mind in the end
Yes…Yes…Yes… Sunday is Cutlass Day…Keep up the great work !!!
Hurray Cutlass build content..great job...and thanks...🔧🔧👍
"Science" Well done sir. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
be interested to see how the day to day of the business runs. like is there smaller jobs that you guys are turning out every couple days, between these massive projects.
Yep! Funny, I just filmed something today that shows more of the "day to day" type work.
Hopefully when you guys are at Stafford you'll be able to get to watch the Nascar Modifieds run... Not sure Cleetus would fit in one if he got a chance to drive one...
a little in love with that dart.... i had a 64 when i was like 18
Love Sunday and Cutlass episode ❤ Keep up the greate work, Kevin!
Hey I just put my Racons on…. But mine are really old but still work just fine…zzz. Z😊😊😊😊
Welcome back to Ct and good luck at Thompson Motor Speedway. I'll be at Lime Rock for the Speed Tour All Star racing!
I'll admit, I bought a pair of RAYCON earbuds to replace my Samsung Buds (which died due to excessive moisture, may they rest in peace.) based upon your and Cleetus's recommendations. First set of cushioned ear buds I've had that stayed where I put them (mostly, I have to adjust them once in a while when I get real hot and sweaty). I had some Beats ear buds, but they'd fall out every minute or two (good sound, too heavy to stay in ear).
Love the Cutlass, can't wait to see it done!
Definitely enjoying the process of building this chassis.
And hell yeah I'm going to be there for the Cletus 900 it's physically in my backyard and wouldn't miss it. I'll see you there
Attention to detail is top notch Kevin!
Gonna be a beast.. thanks for the video kevin
Kids grow so fast & no reversing time. Cars are fun but lake trips w/kids etc ... will be your best memories. /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\
Been said. Best timelesp and soundtrack.
Always happy when you post, thanks Kev!!!
I have fought that whole area on my pro street 72 el camino build as that is the area I cut and narrowed the factory frame . It's a tough metal area
Good luck at the 900 Kevin!!!!!! Hoping to watch you take #1.
KEVIN!!! I miss you Friday but I saw you walking Saturday with the best on wanted to yell and scream to get ur attention but I don’t have the courage to do it. But anyway congrats on the win and hope to see you next year or maybe I’ll come down. Have a good and stay safe brother
Thanks for bringing us along.
another good video, thanks Kevin
Kevin! Don’t you have welding jackets or sleeves in the shop? I just slip on a lite weight welding jacket for that stuff. Like cutting and grinding.
That’s a hell of a chunk you cut out. I understand your logic. You are bolder than I.
She coming along nicely!
We do, and I should use them, but I was sweating enough already, haha.
My problem over thinking stuff Soi don't get anything done hating it just a thought Godspeed KSR ROCKS THE DRAG WORLD
Nice to see you so happy working on the cutlass...My first engine in my 32 five window was an olds about 330CI...When I torched that I replaced it with a 301 Modello...You are probably too young to remember the story of the 301 Modello?..Sadly for the olds the Hilborn fuel injected Mondello out performed the Olds with four 97s feeding it...Those were the days of lots of seat of the pants gueesing
I can’t wait to see what the car looks like when it’s finished.
My Sunday is complete....Cutlass Day!!! I can understand an 1/8" isn't much but it would seem that with a certain amount of travel that number would be multiplied?? So everything needs to be aligned and equal. Thanks for the content and hope the lake was fun!! Until next Sunday!!
Looks like you’ve eliminated any chance of the G Body wheel hop!!
I had an oval track car where we cut the lower mounts beat them up to get it flat on the jig welded the mount back up and drilled for the lower trailing arm.
For as long as your car has been sitting in the shop with bare steel bars there is surprisingly little surface rust! That seems pretty unusual in your neck of the woods!
I believe they have air conditioning in that shop that helps a lot with rust.
Yep, the AC helps, but we are going to be installing a dehumidifier as well to try and help that much more.
Great work can’t wait to see you guys in Stafford
I was subscribed to this channel, and I was starting to wonder why I haven't been seeing anything from Kevin. I'm not sure how I got unsubscribed. I'm glad that Steve Morris reminded me.
Congrats on the win
I wait every weekend for the videos of the buick build 💪😂 loving the progress!
lol
Good luck Kev !!! Have fun and be safe!!
Thanks for Sharing 👍👍✌
Congratulations on the 300k subs 🎉
Hey Kevin I'm watching right know lol. I just want to thank you for time laps in your videos lol jk we don't have to watch the lift go up and down but you do! Lol. Just trying to be funny. Lol I really appreciate everything you do brother I don't miss a video. If I had money I would have you build me a car!
As far as steel goes, try dealing with an older Volvo. That Swedish steel is tough to massage.
KSR Cutlass FTW
Thank you for the video. Little more progress.😛😝
you have to play to the end of the rules in order to win consistently
Ohhhh that looks like a dangerous weapon……. Are you licensed to sell those Kevin………..😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
One way i have found to avoid suffering all day in long sleeves, is to slip on a pair of welding sleeves to keep the sawzall chips off my arms.
So this is Sundays Cutloose episode….. so I guess the Lawn Dart/Val and Steve Camaro was not the Sunday episode this is the Sunday episode ………🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😀🤔
I almost got my hopes up you decided to make her a mid-engine car.
Hey, on;y a few minor changes, maybe a dsy or two extra work and it's all done.
Kevin, you rock! ❤ Peace
Have fun at the lake.
Thx For the videos
We know what you're saying about the binding. If everything isn't aligned properly it will definitely bind at certain points of the stroke.
Great video tanks hevin
Sunday cutlass day
maibe make a temporary frame from either roundbar or rebar and some sheetmetal between the two lower barmounts to get them spaced the exact distance apart and exactly in line with eachother , center and square the whole thing in the frame , (maibe build the temporary frame using the holes in the top mounts to place them as those need to work together ) then trace and cut the car frame around the shape of the plates you need to weld to them to the frame so the lumps and bumps of said frame dont matter , you can work the edges toward eachother while welding them in heating the frame with the tig torch and hammer or pull on it before welding another inch , then ad the bars toward the cage so that any forces left in those plates you welded to wat was left of the car cassis dont cause the mounts to (twang) move and THEN cut / take away the temporary frame between the the parts even if the car frame is crooked the mounts willl be fixated in the place they need to be for the car to drive straight
I have some solid aluminum rod that I could make a mount to bolt them together and that might just be happening in a few minutes ;)
What is the brand/model of the electronic level/angle finder you use? Do you reference sell it on Amazom? Thanks. The race car fabrication is really interesting. My friend raced a 49 Willeys in the 60's and he repaired and improved his car in the yard or the gas station he worked at. Times do change. The info is great, thanks.

Have you ever used a C clamp to clamp a frame on to a lift?
my math says the same. from 30 frames per second to 2 frames per second. is 15 times quicker when played back at 30 FPS
Yep, sometimes I speed the time lapse up by double or triple again so 2 minues of time lapse could be over an hour of real time!
Ive had 2 pair of raycons and on both 1 ear bud quite working i liked em but i guess I hac bad luck with them
Kevin I have a question about the inspector I seen him check the tubes but does he check the welds and what does he use
I believe that he visually inspects all of the welds while he is looking over the chassis.
How is the arc droid treating you guys? I know in last couple video you mentioning send cut send a lot for the brackets on projects. Great progress on cutlass keep chipping away👍
We use the Arc Droid for the quick in shop projects. For the stuff that we may be adding to our site to sell, we get them from Send Cut Send.
Is there a rule saying you can’t just zip tie the frame rail in? It’d be way easier to just add that back in after the car is built. ;) I always wonder what the intention of the rules were in this case.
Seemed to make the whole lift arm repositioning harder than it needed to be. A pole jack would have held the car fine for the minute or 3 it would have taken to move the lift arm forward 4 inches and in to that cage intersection just in front of it. Move that and get to work. Problem solved without having to drop it to the floor use a floor jack, blah blah blah..
I agree, but I wanted to double check that the weight was still balanced and it was not going to tip backwards and try to slide off of the lift.
I over think all the time thats why my car still isn’t ready or ready for me to schedule you to tune it 😭
More work and less talking gets things done.... Learned on our circle track cars.... Building a Cutlass for street stock class...
Is it part of the class rules to keep the frame rails? Wouldn't it be better to replace with tube. Sorry for the dumb question, but drag racing is all new to me. All the best from the UK
