Fine work Dif!
that Sir, was a hoot!
Another awesome technical episode you never disappoint one of the best on you tube
Hey Diff, I've got about half my socks in the drawer with holes from welding sparks. I've found the solution!:) No socks!:) And the burn will heal!:) Thanks for another great visit to South Africa forest! Keep up the good work.!
🤣
Good man 👍👍
Hey Div ! Dude !!! I always learn something from your channel ! This time some great fab work , and awesome machine work , but power washing the jeans was the best ! Not everybody could pull of wearing a purple towel man !!!!!!!!!!
😂
Ya can' t build a Rat Rod without Classical Gas🎼.. 🗣 A bit of Argon and bottle of O2 doesn't hurt either. Good to see you back and in good form. Thanks for sharing and most of all.. Caring. 👍🏁
This is really interesting to watch this suspension develop! Also I really like your hold down clamp on your welding table! I am going to copy that!!
Very creative. Always thinking out of the box Div…I LOVE IT!👍. Great way to wash your pants too 🤣
Nice job Div. 👍
Running out of stuff in your location is a pain in the ass. Oh well, it gave you a chance to catch up on your chemical free laundry process! 👍 😃
Div she is coming along very nicely so far. Love watching your videos. Seeing you work is always good to see. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
Oom Diff, lekker om te kyk, kalmeer 'n man na dag se geite by die werk. Lekka Boet!
Nice work 👍 laca .😎
Looks good
Always love hanging out with you and remembering what it was like to build rods with what you have or can make.long live the good old days. Build on my brother and all the best to you and your family.🛠️🤠
It will be very interesting to see how this suspension finally works out, because you will have torsion bar "spring" as well as airbag holding. Thanks Div.
We will find out!
Great video!
Say Duff. Don't forget that the torsion bars are going to twist too so the air bags will have to push further to compensate.
I enjoy your work thanks for sharing 👍😀
I love the character you are makes me laugh extra bonus watching your videos
The suspension is looking great Div. It's like watching a serial, today I'm left wondering about the air supply and plumbing. See you next week.
Another awesome video that truck is gonna be wicked man
Hello Boet, this air bag suspension is really interesting, look forward to seeing how it all works. Nice work Div. Take care and have a Lekka day. 👍
Good video, it was fun and informative. Thank you sir
You’re an inspiration to us home garage mechanics.
I Love your metal fabrication skills. I Love welding and precision grinding steel myself. I also know how to operate Lathes and Milling Machines when I have access to them. Because I live in the Philippines which is close to China I go through those cut off wheels which are cheap over here, buy them in packs of 10. Same thing with sanding discs that are made out of multi layered sandpaper. Like you it drives me crazy when I know I could have done something better but didn't. I know I am probably the only one who will see most of it......but I know the mistake or problem is there....Grrrrr 🙄 Over here in the Philippines supplies and parts can be a real chore to locate at times. I find myself chasing my tail sometimes trying to get things done but it does give me more time to watch inspirational videos like yours, Thank you for that 😊.
Thanks!
My vote is for the Blue towel
😂
Sunday!!! Saludos desde Argentina!!
That is a real Lekka suspension system
So well thought out. It's going to be an epic build
Thank you!
Awesome stuff Diff :)
nice one diff i always enjoy your vidios great ideas and craftmanship welding and fabwork see you next time have a good one bro
That torsion bar extension setup is seriously smart.
Thanks brother
Great afternoon video Div have a Lekka one
Wow!... Lots Going On here.
Nice work, Diff. You make very entertaining videos. I like the pressure washer idea. I have to wash my garage clothes in a pail because the little woman won't put the dirty stuff in her washer.
The story of are life always running out of something in the shop
I really enjoy your work Wallace from New Orleans la let’s keep hot ridding man😎🎶👀
Great video ty
WHAT NO SOFTTERNER MAN AND LOVE YER SAFTY SANDELS LOL
very cool , it is good to have friends that are machinist , you can put a shield as well around the air bags so you get no punchers from say road debris . Build On Bro
I was like what the heck is he doing lol ? It’s all coming together bow haha very nice fab skills man. Keep jammed brother!
great progress on the ROD again , nice t see.
with such a private place like You have Dif, and with the Camera shut-off i would not boughter wearing anything anymore for the rest of the day. 😁
You got to be sure though that Dirk isn't dropping by later the day to "om wat los werkies te doen" on his RIDE while You are "kaal loop" 😄👍
😂
Loads done this time.
Mooi Man.
Great video Div, have a lekka one. Love the engineering set up for the airbags. You explained it well enough that I even understood
Ìts gonna be a very cool setup.
Nice Dif engineering on cross member.
I think you're on the right track. You move pretty fast for guy my age! Cheers from the shed
I'm back..El Guapo....sorry i had to do my own work lately..getting busy again catching up on house repairs and other things...Springtime here in Canada..
Always like to c what ur up to, thanks for the lesson brotha
get engineering Diff, cant wait to see more.....HAHAHA jungle workshop laundry service hey
Love it
That's looking like some cool fabrication. I hope you have a patent on your ideas so someone else can't make a bunch of money on your invention. Can't wait to see how it works. The 60 to 62 Chevy Apache truck had a torsion bar front end to I put a block in between the middle of the bracket and the cross member with a longer bolt and it lowered my truck 2 inches without turning the torsion bar nuckle.. that way they weren't dragging on the ground. Take care div.
Hello Diff, Beautiful work good to see a Hudson getting attention. A quick comment - with 1500 pounds plus added with engine trans, cab etc. the torsion bars are going to be needing more twist than with an empty frame. I really enjoy your videos.; have brought 4 Hudsons back to life over the years,now I want a rough old mutt to modify, Thanks and all the best, Robert
Thank you. Yes, I can preload the torsion bars by turning them a notch or 2. If required.
Another great episode Div, I enjoy watching your projects come together.
Keep up the great work brother 👍🤘🔥🔥
Awesome bonus footage Div. Although borderline stiffy causing stuff. I know you do your best, but still only borderline.
🤣
Nice to see a video from RRFA popping out. I can't help myself from thinking that the bars of the machine shop say a lot about SA.
When it comes to cutting disk. We’re going to start calling you ebenezer Scrooge. 😂😂😂😂😂
I truly enjoy your fabrication videos. Looking forward to see the suspension in action.
Fantasies Diff. Alles is so perfect gedoen.
Dankie😀
👍👍👍👍
Funny thing !
I’m surprised RUclips didn’t have a problem with the background music 😮 or did they ?
Nice job 👍
? I only use music from RUclips library
Where did you find that bench? Nice work Div..
Yes, I can see the wisdom in you and that comes with years of experience. I enjoy watching every one of your videos. Knowledge is power. It appears you can make almost anything out of metal. How many years have you been a welder?
Been playing with steel in some form for around 40 years.
Thanks
Nice Div . Die crossmembers het mooi uitgekom . In die 90s het ons n ou gehelp met sy formula vee . Die suspension het min of meer dieselfde gewerk agter maar het net 1 coilover shock horisontaal gehad . Jy kan dalk wegkom met 1 bag .
Op jou voor controlarms moet jy dalk die ball joints check laat hulle die travel kan handle . Jou werk is stunning . Ek geniet elke video en kannie wag vir die volgende 1 nie . God bless .
Everything is coming along well. Seems to be working out like you want. Looks really good.
Are you thinking about shocks on the front? You’ll have to deal with the travel limitation there as well.
Great job lekka boet!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Yes, definitely shocks as well. Will get it figured out
Your wife must love you for doing the washing like that
Don’t push yourself to hard or you’ll end up in the hospital Diff⚡️
👍
✌
👍
I thought I was the only one who said snazzy
👍🏻🍺 i’m waiting for one of them, hot sparks to land between your toes, and we can see A true South African dance😂
