Robby it is amazing how much of the knowledge you learned from demolition derby school you apply daily to align wheels and axles, build motors, and tweaking frames then welding them back into their perfect position to achieve maximum performance!
Nice job on the frame and axles!! The HellCat is going to be interesting to see what all is damaged. It certainly looked like it got hit pretty hard!!
5:28 Hillbilly did a great job showing me something I always wondered but was too lazy to google, that's amazing how fast the modern welding helmet flips from dark to visible, it's instant. Thanks so much for that, that's neat.
Good ones are instant, cheaper ones have a slight delay because they are just solar whereas the good ones have batteries. If you use one every day you want one with batteries as the 10th of a second instead of a 100th adds up eventually.
I have the 3M Speedglas welding helmet with respirator, it's not cheap but once you have it, you don't want anything else.
That hell cat has got a ton of power stock man wish my pops could have seen all the rides created in the future👊🙏😎
This is 1of those multi videos, Love it,
Wish it would have been a lot longer but that's okay, steps are fine
As someone that uses that Bauer portable bandsaw everyday, it is quite awesome (especially for the price). Its corded but if you are cool with that, its fantastic.
I have the 20T press. Before the first use, I replaced the bottle jack. Harbor Freight has a 20T air over hydraulic bottle jack that is a great upgrade for the press.
Exactly what I just posted. Then you can crush two hands .. .. I mean hold up a wobbly stack of spacers :D
I have the same press from HF in my garage. But the first thing I did to it was get an air over hydraulic jack from HF and replace that manual jack in the press... It's much nicer not having to jack that press all day.
Nothing like a new Robby Layton video before i get to work on restoring my 1969 Camaro
Another great video ! Almost wish they were longer and or more frequent. This is just cool stuff 😎 👌. So watching it is extremely entertaining. Beats anything that shows on the television.... looking forward to getting back to the Broncstar and seeing it come together. The Jeep build is cool ... the Hellcat is very interesting and curious to see if it totals out or not. Almost a crying shame how quickly insurance will total a vehicle. When in the right hands and a shop like yours. It can be repaired. Which seems to be a trend with many shops anymore. Instead of using the skills and experience to repair the vehicle. They just aide the insurance and price it out to a point. So it totals out and gets out of the way for the next vehicle. I understand the whole cost of parts and labor and etc.. nowadays. But it sure seems like the drive and talent to do the repair work is fading. Total it toss give the client a check [insurance] and go get another one... next. Anyway bit of a rant there... Really enjoy your channel and the builds . Looking forward to seeing what's next. 😎 👍
LOL, they make like 4 videos a week. Some channels do like one a month or fewer.
Also, if you have a $65k car that has $30k worth of damage, they'll make more money selling the dead carcass at auction and just replacing the car. Probably more money in labor than the parts. NOW if you're watching a channel like superspeedersRob(which is a good channel if you're into watching supercars and other interesting stuff about body shops and just cars in general he also is building a house from scratch, a nice custom house and he filmed the whole thing like a TV show.) he explains in detail the cost of fixing an expensive sports car. Rob(Rob from superspeeders) owns a rental business in New Jersey and rents exotic cars there and in Miami, and also does tours all over the world. His cars are always getting wrecked. He makes more money off the wrecked cars cause he can charge like a $1k a day in loss of use to the insurance company. He also does news in exotic car industry, the channel is pretty interesting.
My glovebox was too small, so I called the insurance company. Instead of sending a new box .... they totaled it. Had the batteries go dead in the flashlight that I keep in the glovebox. Once again, instead of sending a new battery .... you guessed it .... they totaled the whole car. 🤣😂🙃Sorry .... couldn't help myself 😎🥴Take care 👍🏻✌🏻
That shop press was very imPRESSive.
Perfect video! A great mix of typical shop work, and personal builds! Thanks for the content! ❤️💯
Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
We are always amazed at the projects your crew tackles; and the outcomes are outstanding!
Robby, check out a hydraulic lift table. They have them Harbor Freight. I got one to transfer my milling machine vise and other heavy stuff on and off the table. Strong as Hillbilly but without the attitude 😂. They’re a back saver. I got one from Uline that hat lifts 1780 lbs 40” on a 40”X20” table. Think mini Frank.
I am definitely looking forward to and hoping you guys get to fix the Hellcat in my opinion that would be a fun project for sure.
When removing refrigerant from the AC lines it’s called a recovery process..when removing air before charging it with refrigerant it’s called a evacuation process. Hope I win that charger when you reach 1 million subs. You guys are awesome I’m really happy for Big Dinner 🎉🎉
The manual bottle jack in that press will get tiresome. Get yourself one of the pneumatic ones. But keep the manual one, there are times you'll need it. Also, when you are worried about the frame or vehicle teetering, just strap the light side to the lift arms.
The pneumatic jack at harbor freight is a great addition to the press and they also have a long one that's awsome on your cherry pickers.
You have much more control with a manual jack.
Really sucks that it's listed as a video on a Hellcat but it's not about a Hellcat.
Thats some dang good looking welds Robby! I think an expert body guy knows a little more doing this kind of work than the internet experts. Keep it up! HELL of a Hellcat!!!!! Only negative comment..............gotta work on the tomorrow snap.😆
Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab on. Weld on. Keep making. God bless.
Great video and keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe
pst, get a 20t bottle jack in air version for the press. You can press the valve with your foot and have two hands free. It’s ace 👍
It’s heartbreaking when you put your heart and soul into building a Hellcat to see it end up like that.
Take the new shop press and the new bandsaw and mount them onto pallets so WHEN you need to move them, go grab that new pallet jack and zooooooom. :)
And in the next episode... Robby buys a wrecked charger from the customers insurance company!
To keep your off-balance frame from falling off the lift you can ratchet strap it to the arms of the lift.
Your going to need a bigger shop here soon with all these new toys you are getting.
Will be nice to see how the hellcat ends up
Great job guys....Awsome video
If that charger gets totalled you should buy it and use the Hellcat engine for the JK!!!!!
you might think about a 20 ton air jack for the press. i have the same press
I saw you on the freeway at 10:10 this morning you southbound me heading north before the Provo, Utah exit. Yay 🎉 have a great time in Hurricane
Saw you guys on Heavy-D-Sparks loved your optimistic attitude trying to recover that Tele-handler ! Lol
Robby & Hillbilly? You guys did great work today!
Robby? You laid down some superior welds today! Really great! Way to go.
THANKS FOR SHARING 👍🏻.
Cool toolz! 👨🔧
Excited for the Hellcat and very interesting Jeep build. Off topic…I can’t help but notice that Robbie you and Dinner have lost weight . Great idea!
Cool stuff as always. Much respect everyone.
Looking forward to seeing more hellcat videos 👍👍
Haven't seen Dinner in a while. Hope he's doing ok.
Get the SWAG break for that press! Easy to take in and take out. Nice simple presses, they work!
I have one of those Harbor Freight 20-Ton presses too. I am currently using it to press in bushings into a 4L80E transmission I am rebuilding. I also have one of those Bauer hand held band saws. I have it attached to one of those tables made by Swag that turns it into a table band saw.
Awesome guys
@Robby. You have some nice looking, solid welds there!
The fumbled voice-over with sound effects is golden.🤣
Please do this for us, show us the complete evaluation and/or repair of the 700HP Hell Cat. You have shown us so much in the repair of the Nugget, and other vehicles like derby cars that don't rely on precision to make them whole again, it would be nice to see a precision job to bring one back to life. It would be nice to see the expensive machines that you have at your disposal such as the frame straightening rig to demonstrate the work you have to go through to bring it back to life. It would be a good advertisement for the repair industry.
If the Hell Cat is doomed to be scrapped, how about you purchasing it from the Insurance Company so you can use the motor and other parts for other projects?
Awesome build and totally rad hellcat..
Awesome video love that Hell Cat 🐈
Great build! Can you guys do more recording through the welding hood so we can see the welding in progress? Those are some great welds.
I, for one, am looking forward to seeing that hellcat get restored to better-than-factory
im looking forward to him sanding it for a year
Hopefully Robby will do a series on the rebuild of the Hellcat.
@@battleborn3660 I'd watch every episode.
I'm not overly impressed with factory Dodge paint... so yes, I'm betting it will be better than factory.
Better then factory ? Turn it into a SEMA car?
Watching matt, Paul, Robby, and all the other Fab'ers around here, I swear the "sponsorship" from Harbor Freight is money well spent. I would never have thought that the most popular off road recovery winches, jacks, etc, would have come from HF. I love shopping there too. I go down because I need something I know I can get there and come home with another ten things I didn't go for.
(This comment is sent with the hopes they send ME a pallet of something).
@@TSKseattle You and me both, I goto Harbor Freight just to look around and still come home with 62 new things. My wife says I can only go to Harbor Freight 1 time a month hahahahahahaha.
Of course she joking...
or is she hummmm.
"Holy crap, Batman!" "That's alot of damage $$$$$$"
I always do my u joints with my ball joint press it works amazing
Owen is supposed be working on his motor swap witch he blew, what was he doing there 😂.
Anyways don’t touch what you finished welding with your bare hands, it’s hot 🔥. 🤙
I would say that they were driving pretty fast.🤔👌have a good week and count your blessings amen.
The jeep frame is coming along nice And nice Hell Kat
Get a ball joint press. You can change ujoints with it. Anywhere. An electric impact and tailgate, work bench or on the vehicle.
Thanks for explaining things as you disassemble the hellcat. I hope you get to rebuild it, too!
You should open a shop in Arkansas that does nothing but put back together Chargers that got pitted by the Arkansas State Police. Over on the Police Pursuits channel they are wrecking 1 or 2 per week. Lots of guys haven’t figured out yet that the cops have chargers too, have training on how to drive them, and have Motorola’s that are faster than any Hellcat.
Hellcat is gonna be Awesome 👍🏼
Put the hellcat motor in the JK.
Nice addition of the ruler 😂😂
Wonder what that Hellcat motor would do in your Charger? If it Totals, Make an Offer so you can Claim Motor and Transmission ,Rear End and The WIRING Harness
Good idea
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
YES!!! More LHAMA!
@1:08 Hillbilly needs to wear safety glasses while the death wheel is 12 in from his face. That cutoff wheel shatters and Hillbilly is going to loose his eyes.
Great 🇺🇸 as always 🇺🇸 👍
I really enjoy the how to videos
Robby, I should probably go back and watch previous videos, but who are you building this for? Is this a personal build for you? Either way, you and Hillbilly are killing it!
we have both tools from harbor freight and many more and they do just fine, the band saw is well over 15 years old. no issues.
Y’all r awesome
Drive like Lightening 🌩 Crash like THUNDER 🔴🟠🟢🔵🟣
Hey Robbie build a box out of 1/2 inch plywood a d 4/4s put it on skids like you would a shed put one bull i it pull it down witb the snow cat then go back up and get the other bull0
your idea of a tack weld and my idea of a tack weld are not even on the same planet. lol
Ohhhh hizeck yes, I'm pretty excited for this one.
So I'm still curious on the outcome of a couple videos back... What happened to those poor Bulls 🐂🐂 I mean is it frozen hambergers now?
The pinion angle has to match the output shaft of the transfer case angle... no math needed, just get the engine/trans/transfer case mounted and match exactly, the angle of the output U joint.
HUrray, yyou are working.....hard!
I had my Harbor Freight for over a year now in my shop works great,,But very slow,, I went and got a Harbor Freight 20 ton air hydraulic bottle jack, fit in the same place as the hand jack, does the same work, it just move a little faster, and still have a hand pump on it,,
I’ve been looking for one of them for a bit. I’m glad your showing this because I’ve been considering buying a salvage one and repairing it myself but I wasn’t sure if it’s worth it or not.I’m not sure if this one is a customers or if your going to be selling it after you repair it. I must have missed you saying in the video but if you do want to sell after your done I’d be interested enough I’d fly out to look at it. So if you want to sell keep me in mind I’m a cash buyer and can leave you a phone number or email. Thanks buddy can’t wait to see you running derbies again too.
The Hellcat? It's a customers.
@@mikemathis3936 what Jeep are you talking about? I was saying I was looking for a wrecked or stolen hellcat to repair. I’m not sure what you meant by finding tons of jeeps. The only Jeep I have ever considered is the srt8 Jeep Grand Cherokee or the trackhawk. But they didn’t make but a few thousand so they are can’t be what your talking about, so I dunno no big deal I was just curious about what you meant.
@@mikemathis3936 if you know of any Jeep srt8 Cherokee’s for sale let me know I’m looking everywhere and they are very hard to find in my area of the country so I know I’m going to have to travel to get one that’s priced reasonably.
Good looking car kinda like the yeller
Put you an air bottle jack in your press, it works awesome, and takes up the gap faster than having to use the hydraulic jack that moves so slow.
The indirect damage doesn't surprise me with the hit that it sustained. That radiator support usually transfers some amount of energy to the opposite side. Most people ignore it and generally have permenant alignment issues because of it.
They're gonna take you to pound town my friend the internet is full of experts and engineers!
Hell they probably already think you're nuts cutting and welding on frames. People been calling me crazy for a few years now.
too many know it alls on u tube! .... good job u guys!
Hi Robbie, a hammer and a vice is the fastest easiest and best way to change you joints. A press will take you a lot longer and it will be a lot more difficult. I have changed literally hundreds of you joints if you struggle with a hammer and a vice you were just not using the right technique and I will be happy to show you, the fastest way to do it. I was taught by a driveshaft machine shop. Paul from fab rats does it almost perfectly but even he misses one important step that makes it easier. Love the channel.
Hey Robby I just noticed something when you were installing the upper links on the rear axle I noticed you dropped the front bolts in from the top are you going to be able to get those out once the bodies on?
A couple of days ago I had to go to the hospital for a Peek-A-Boo accident with my kid. They put me in the I C U! LMAO
I love you guys
I see a Hellcat swap on the '69 Charger coming.
19:21 Is that a GTO?? Love to see what's up with it!
I’m imPRESSed! 🤣
Good progress on the Jeep ! Mopar or No Car !
Always stumps me how people who have the money to buy tools get them for free when others have to spend their last dollar to buy tools… thanks Harbor Freight for giving stuff to rich people, makes so much sense
Enough! You gotta get to Hurricane STAT! Seems there's some shenanigans goin on down there!!!!
“Really came true”….😂
Well good morning brother's and sister sending some California love and as always have a blessed day with your beautiful heart's👍🙏😎
Happy belated birthday Demri! 🎂 from Robyn , Randy and baby Rónán from Prince Rupert
Can you ratchet strap the frame to the lift arms to prevent the frame from teetering?
100%, would make alot of sense to do that, they almost had one crash off a few weeks ago, was it the jeep, or broncstar l? as they disassembled it...needs to start being a 2nd nature safety to do item for them before something happens
I would like to see an extended video of the boring things lol 😆
Those presses are great once you put an air over hydraulic bottle jack
