How long have people been watching grind hard for
And what are peoples favorite build or builds
Great question
4 years ago first vid was the abandoned Tacoma
Since the barbie kart, just got better since.
Since the start of the Barbie Jeep
As an automotive painter for over 20 years I can attest to how good Duplicolor self etching primer is. I have used it extensively and have nothing but success with it. I have nothing to gain by making this claim other than helping people out.
Edit: I don’t mean that it is the best product for every situation. But for a rattle can primer, it’s the best I’ve found. It dries fast and is very sandable.
Secretly a duplicolor rep
Op sounds like a Fed.
I used it to restore a old Honda ct 70 and used their primer and paint and it worked great too...
@@lifebehindtheselens - I can also attest to Duplicolor’s amazing one-step self-etching primer that’s available in any possible color and finish & conveniently found at all respected suppliers of your painting needs, though I’m no professional painter. Duplicolor’s one-step self-etching primer comes in a conveniently easy to use pressurized canister, with a pre-installed spray nozzle that was designed by NASA for painting plastic & steel enclosures that housed return system CPUs of the Gemini rockets. collect the whole spectrum, no assembly required. always wear a respirator when using product in enclosed spaces & the capitol of Nebraska is Lincoln.
@@lifebehindtheselens man! That would be great! Especially since I’m retired and on a fixed income that Brandon has severely impacted. If you hear about a job opening, please send me a pm!
Pro tip: use gaffer’s tape to mask surfaces from sand/media blasting. It is stronger and doesn’t leave as much (if any) adhesive residue. I have 5 years of aircraft parts processing experience and assure you, I have tested MANY masking materials for almost any parts finishing/preparation process and Gaffer’s is gold
We use gaffers everywhere in the AV world and it never leaves adhesive amazing products
@@aidanwhipple2005 Only problem is its $25 a roll. Yet black gaf tape is all over our shows and equipment 😂. Good for making sun visors on cameras too
@@anac3652 I work for a place that did a huge bulk order so we have cabinets everywhere full of it. We aren’t running out anytime soon 😂
Ironically painters tape (the blue shit) does all of this just fine.
@@aidanwhipple2005 gaffa gaffa gaffa all day everyday in AV world. Best tool we have ey! :)
Badass guys!! Still waiting on that full send video now that its really finished and has the welded rear differential and a fresh rebuild on the engine. Can't wait to see more of this.
Same, it's been a long time now and still nothing. Did they sell it? They have done several projects since.
Absolutely love the build but I would recommend looking for a custom triple tree online, they make them for dirt bike to atc conversion kits and essentially just spreads out the front forks to fit a wider front wheel and it'll make a nice difference in safety and high speed stability, will also allow you to float over bog and sand easier without trenching and will make it better in snow... not to mention overall look imo... Anyways I love the build just thought I'd offer my suggestion:)
low key forgot about this build
Same dude 😂
Sammeee
Me too😂😂
It’s back!
Not sure many people know what "low key" actually means. Glad this thing is back though
One of the most unique builds y’all have tackled. Glad to see it get wrapped up. Colours are on point! Need the iron man helmet to drive it
Your ideas are AWESOME!!!
Yall yall yall yall
I know you were concerned about a cable snapping and you losing steering, but have you ever thought of replacing the cables with either threaded rod, or just 1/4 inch solid rod with threads cut into the ends to accept the heim joints?
I'm guessing that wire rope is just as strong if not stronger. 1/4" WLL is 1400lbs and UBS is 7000lbs. Those fasteners would fail first.
The cables on that scetch me out more than anything else I have seen them do
@@alexanderjones6383 Yes but with rods you have redundancy, if one fails the other will work alone. Not so much with cables.
@@marcoseifert-simpson8138 Dam, I just wrote this in my comment and here it as from you after reading comments. 😂 😂
Fantastic build guys...thanks very much for great education and entertainment...love the design overall but not a huge fan of cable steering for this application...just makes me uneasy...stay safe please.
Some of the ridiculous stuff you guys do just breaks my brain. Using the frame to route coolant surprised the hell out of me. I've seen a lot of your builds and some of your solutions make me wonder why you haven't been approached to open a custom bike and rod shop! Keep innovating guys, you're killing it!
I've always loved this build, good work! A hitch with a hitch carrier setup would be awesome.
Absolutely we will have to do that
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo You should protect the engine from rocks thrown up from the front tire,
@@GrindHardPlumbingCo can you guys do a powerwheels side by side build showing love from naples maine
this is by far the best build yet
arguably the best random fabricator on the internet. Keep it up
I LOVE seeing channel’s like this evolve into amazing things and watch the people grow there skills with amazing projects over time!
What the hell is happening guys? It’s been 8 months. We’re still waiting on an update on this.
It quite literally says finished in the title and thumbnail 😂
@@kolbyhardy6563You missed the part where they say they are going to rip it etc etc, but nobody has seen it since. Watch before you comment 🤪
Fuck I d k
@@budddove6480 Yup, year later, nothing. Hope the monster chopper doesnt suffer the same fate, that dorky electric car got a few videos.
Put a strong magnet oil plug in the oil pan drain hole to help keep the shavings in one area
Duplicolor the best painting can ever...
Out of all the channels i follow, this is my number one pick. I ALWAYS look forward to Friday to see the new videos.
Always love watching and listening to the tunes. So we’ll edited guys. Ethan is an artist, through and through. Amazing amazing work.
Shoutout to all of my powdercoaters out there. Keep her looking premium.
It would be super dope if you got street tires for the rotary trike and lights so it could be street legal to drive to bike shows and on long rides like the tail of the dragon...
That would be so cool to see it on the road legally
cool yea with open dif. sketchy cornering at best locked
Not with that steering linkage system it wouldn’t be
Rotary is one of those units that sounds awesome no matter how crappy it actually runs. Looking forward to the full send.
I binge watched all of your guys' builds in the last few days and I absolutely love it all
I'm still waiting for that full send video
I love the U-132 soundtrack, it really fits with all of your builds and show off shots.
Wear a cup...that shifter position looks nuts!! :D
Waiting to see the full send lol
That are gone joke was the best thing I heard all day.
My dream workshop broskie ❤️ 💕 everything is made from here
Always a good day when these guys post
What an amazing frame! And an amazing machine, well done chaps. 👏
Iron man called, he wants his trike back. Sweet build guys. The colors are pretty dope too 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I love the tone of voice, eternally positive, keep up the good work. Grind hard!!!!
Both the argon tanks... are gone 😂 that cracked me up lol. Love your videos
Hahah
Will there ever be a final followup to this build?
“The argon are gone”. I could stop watching the video there 😂
Your work just keeps getting better and BETTER. Hell yeah man!! You are a true tinkerer!! And a master fabricator.
freakin love watching your channel! Another epic build, great job as always!
Where is the full send video we are waiting and try to put more power in it send on🎉
I am loving this American boy boasting good foreign parts. Making such an incredible American built frame, to lovingly hold all those foreign components. This is what the world needs. Love for and from everyone. How is this 1 RUclips channel showing what America is supposed to be about so well with just an EPIC DRIFT TRIKE?!
Well... That is one of the most beautiful suicide machines i've ever looked at. Always wanted to put a 600cc on a go kart, but a 250hp 9k rpm engine on a minibike is fucking out there. Might want a roll bar just in case.
What 600cc motors are making 250hp?
@@kaleb97045 read the comment again
its not very mini lol
@@OnlyForThePriceOf999 Well its not technically a bike either, its a trike.
@@sylumgand also true
Love the new color scheme! Now you gotta play with the headlight and make it look like an arc reactor!
This is hands down one of my favorite builds
Editor been going hard for a LONG ass time
What happened to it?
Tip for the next time, the right order is two wheels in the front, one in the rear. That way you have much much much more control over the trike, much less chance of flipping over, which will cause bodily harm. One wheel in the back is also easier to drift with and it provides a easier geometry to work out. I speak from experience.
No where near as fun though 😉 these guys have driving skills beyond most of us!!
Or just get a heavier front end or put weights on it. They wanted this style of trike
They've already done a trike with two in front one in back. ruclips.net/video/KbCXo6fo0-Y/видео.html
It's literally a different vehicle when you do that. Anyone that is driven both types of bikes or trikes, that's the whole reason why you want to ride it. When you put two wheels in the front, it turns into a car feeling
They built a reverse trike a couple years ago. Youre probably right I don't doubt it, but I think they were going for two rear wheels this time to switch it up
It’s awesome to see someone actually wetting the header wrap before using it.
This is incredible work! The fact that you assembled that from scratch and it's been realized is 🤯 Great build series, thank you!
A tip , don’t paint directly over self etch primer , use primer on top of it before painting it
seems like they would mention that on the can right? why call it primer if it's really pre-primer? lol
What happened to this build?
lol who else was disappointed to not see this thing run 😅 I was so pumped it looks so freakin cool great work
These guys are pretty incredible. There’s at least one genius in this group. Probably 2 1/2.
Is anyone else still waiting for the full send video of this trike? I have looked through the entire list of videos and can't find it. Did I miss it somewhere?
where is the full send video?
The frame is beautiful and so is the color scheme. Definitely looking forward to the next installment.
Hanging there, all primed up, it reminds me of the star wars speeder bikes in the woods!
it has been 9 month guys
where is the full send ?
We didn't even get to hear it...and still haven't looking at your other videos 🤷♂️
I know he said real soon and it’s been 4 months.
@@cecilmckeithan5088 10 now
Love to see the trike back, that color scheme is fantastic! Like Ethan I didn't think it would turn out this awesome in the end.
So cool to see how you guys are Growing your channel and still keeping the vibe, crazy projects etc. Thanks for the ride
How is that finished...? Lol cmon man
"full send video soooooon"
4 months later, nothing. Why bother watching this?
1:24 ''ARGONE" nice one 😂
The fab dude is a fkn genius, legit man
Looking forward to it ripping in all its rotary glory and sound!
That's just frickin badass, you fellars out did yourselves on this rascal!!!!
Bro! You and the gents are killing it. Quite the fire!
This is a great video as like all your videos.
My Uncle and I would do the same thing to vehicle, buggies and bikes, my Aunt would holler at him saying , your gonna hurt our nephew. Gents, you have absolutely brought back some excellent fond memories for me and the early 70's. Yes, I am old. But you never out live your dreams, passions and your attitude of "I can do that". I have a Son now (Adult) he is a Mech Engineer and we love tearing into things together. It's good to see younger generations doing this.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Stay safe and keep building.
I LOVE when the builds get all clean, minty and SHINYYY
You are basically riding a drivetrain and enough tubes to hold up a seat. Awesome idea to use the structure of the transmission as part of the frame.
That is absolutely insane! Nice build!
Fantastic! I wish you would have covered the primer with white or silver, clear, red and clear again.
Can't wait to see this thing rip!
thats how you do a sick paintjob!, it takes time and alot fo prep but omg you nailed it
Probs the nicest finish on a project you have done yet
The Crusty Dorito! Nice! Lol
Great name for the trike! 😁
I really like the modifications that are done with creative hands and I'm from Indonesia
That looks surprisingly amazing, night and day difference from before. Amazing what a bit of paint and patience can do
I’ve been using that metal spec paint forever the more layers of it the sicker it gets, I’ll also do like 4-5 coats of clear on my valve covers, looks like the depth of a candy apple
Always a joy watching y’all videos
Gave those fingers a good workout with all the rattle can painting!💯💪🥵
Looks like you've harnessed a chariot onto a wasp. Pretty cool, although i'd prefer steering rods instead of cables and attach them to slightly wider arms to make steering easier and stress the components less, especially when the front wheel deflects off things etc.
Such a brilliantly unique piece of art right there I must say. Cannot wait for the full send. be safe
first youtuber to weld the gears to the housing thankyou lol mines still going after ten years of aussie skid abuse in many different cars and engine forms
Quality 17 minute spary paint commercial 👌
Can not wait to see it running properly !!
That thing is gorgeous the colors look great together a true piece of artwork! And it looks pretty bad ass as well ! can’t wait to see this thing ripping around ,great video and build guys ! keep up the great work!👍🏼🤩💪🏼
Honestly very excited to hear U-132 made its way back into a video. The music was something I always enjoyed in the beginning videos and makes your videos that much better.
this is my favorite duplicolor commercial ever...
You guys don't know the meaning of normal and I love it
This frame is very DIY powder coating worthy. A couple oven heating elements and a worthy structure and very little in money to get up n running, more effort than cost :]
So i have a 98 a4 with a paxton e92 blower on the 2.8 liter v6. Haltech elite 1500 ecu, 6 speed swap. I pulled the front axles off and hub splines off the shafts, bolted them back up to keep the hubs together. This was just an experiment but, 360 whp rear wheel drive b5 a4. It worked and that stock rear diff was a CHAMPION!!!
The paint job is so loud and I love it
i would recommend putting blast plates around the transmission, the stock FD transmissions are kinda weak and the outer casings can shatter. I cant imagine it should be much of an issue with that, but being a drift trike the transmission will get alot of abuse,, as for the steering, superfastmatts straight line racing trike has a VERY similar steering system except it uses 2 sets of hardlinks and heim joints, if you are worried about safety (lmao) those are what i would look into. Love your channel, looking forward to more awesome videos :)
Ohhhhh yeah!!!! Been wanting this video for a while now! 🤙🏻
My mans using chromes on an impact. ABSOLUTE fiend
I remember when y’all only had like 5k subs. Come a long way boys! Well earned!
Sooooo sick! As always, Grind Hard Plumbing FTW!
I can’t wait to see how this performs, it looks so unique!
I love seeing people succeed !!! Awesome build sirs
Need to have the Vargas Brothers give her a top notch tuneup. The trike came out amazing!
