We just fabricated a C-NOTCH for $50 🙌🏼

  • Before we can start fabricating a floor we need to deal with the chassis. The rear axle is welded to the frame which means there's no rear suspension. We want to keep the same ride height, so in order for that to happen we need to fabricate a c-notch on the chassis which will provide the necessary suspension travel. We're going to show a basic and universal way to fabricate your own 😎

    I have learnt a lot watching his work. It helps with my own build. I often shake my head as what I see as mistakes or taking the long way to do a simple job. But as he says” take what you want and leave the rest”. I’ll continue with my build (34 Hupmobile) maybe a bit wiser because I watched, listened to other constructive comments and not having a time schedule to meet. Love the show.

    C-notch made with steel strapping might be good for a lawn ornament. If I was building a car to drive I would be using 1/4” 2x2” or 2x4” steel tube, make the notch, and tuck it inside the frame channel. Then I would box in the frame. I had a VW Beetle body on one of those Chevy “X” frames. Even a mild 283 flexed the frame. If you have any serious horse power going in the car you have to box that frame.

    Doing a lot of projects at one time can be expensive, and it takes up needed space and time. Everyone does things differently and in their own way. This channels viewers appear to be split between true motor heads and casual car enthusiast. Not finishing projects drives them crazy while others enjoy seeing multiple builds. This is his channel so I won't try to tell him how to run it. However, I would advise him to complete at least one or two of the projects he started that's nearly done just to satisfy his viewers. Never tamper with ones creative imagination and vision for a project, just give your opinion and live with his choices. Yes it's frustrating at times not seeing the final product but it's also good to see his versatility. Everyone has a vision for their own lives, respect it, support it, or create one for yourself to pursue but please don't disrespect and be rude to those who are pursuing theirs.

      @Davey-Drums 3 месяца назад +4

      @@TheRavnKnight Sometimes it seems Chad is not building a car to actually drive, just to "generate content". Problem is, I really enjoy seeing a job done right. And, yes, the frame is a big safety issue. Better too strong, than too weak. As soon as I saw him pull out that 1/8 inch plate "because it is what I have", my enthusiasm faded... Echos of the frame butchering on the 39 Ford (in progress elsewhere). In general, I just don't think frame/suspension is Chads specialty - more a body design and sheet metal master. He is capable of great work. Sometimes I don't think he respects his own work enough to use quality materials. Penny wise, pound foolish?

  • @guyman2134
    @guyman2134 3 месяца назад +4

    Your level is only as accurate as the chassis is to the floor it's sitting on, inflation of the tires, and wear of the suspension. Just throwing a level on it only makes your work as crooked as the chassis is in relation to the floor. Not a good idea without checking first

Using a laser level would be better. and would allow to validate the ground . Hoping the ground is level and the tires are the same here (air and use)

    Keep in the back of your mind, all you fabricators out there, Chad is showing how to use what you have,not spend a lot of money. He has said many times the show is more for the “ normal guy” ( or girl) to build their dream vehicle. Not so much for someone with the wherewithal to buy what is “ needed”. That being said, the comments from you fabricators, are very much needed for the viewers that don’t mind spending some paychecks. Those that can spend will probably have a better safer vehicle. Just try to be more educational than bashing. Most of us appreciate the knowledge you bring.
