Heads up Kevin. I will be coming to see you when I return to America. I am currently stuck in Germany fighting for custody of my daughter. Love your work. See you ASAP. Thanks. Rob Barker aka Sunshine
I like how it started, Steve and Val’s Camaro, then Val and Steve’s Camaro, to Val’s Camaro… hahaha awesome community. Keep shining Kevin. Love how you balance your home and professional life for your kiddos. Real man stuff. Happy Father’s Day.
Another work of art. You guys have so much fun at work, and work. Happy Father's Day to all Dads.
Cool idea showing people what it looks like behind a welders mask showing the brightness of the arc as it works on the metal!!
Hey Kevin, your laptop probably has a spinning hard drive in it based on how slow it is running. All you need to do is upgrade it to a SATA Solid State Drive (SSD) and clone the drive to the new SSD. It will run significantly faster and you don't have to shell out for a whole new laptop.
Also, if it is a spinning hard drive and you don't want to replace it download a program called Defraggler and run that on the laptop.
Kevin, I enjoy your work so very much. Thank you for bringing us along this journey through life.❤😊
I am all for the inserts that give the bars elegant curves and lower the chance of snags. Regards, Stephen.
Hey Kevin. If your laptop does not have a solid state drive as its main storage. just have someone (or like Best buy) swap you to a SSD. It'll make the laptop faster than brand new.
People watch Camron’s channel then come over here and want to compare bars. Two differnt companies and caliber cars. Both do great work.
Cameron... SMH
@@funfun8095 thanks teach
They build race cars every day
The folded dollar was a hilarious surprise at the end of the video.
On the computer, run CHKDSK on the hard drive and then defrag the hard drive before buying a new one. There are other utilizes that will find redundant files and are used to clean up the hard drive. Maybe that will put off buying a new computer for a little while.
And run CCleaner to, also install a ssd-disk, then you have a real good one..
If its still a hard disk.... replace it with an ssd regardless... makes old computers substantially faster relatively cheaply
KSR FTW
Hello brother I wish you could have been on the sick week 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Someone needs to tell Eddie about the tig finger from Welding Tips and Tricks! it works sooo good to prevent "hot finger"!
We have one but it’s uncomfortable for me, I usually put a thicker mig glove on my right hand (torch hand) then the thin tig glove on my left hand that holds the filler, seems to work well for me in hotter situations
@@EddyElder99 You are weird!!! lol. Just messing with ya. It works excellent for me but it’s all about what works for the individual. I sometimes just tape it to the part of my glove that will be on the hot stuff. Looks weird but does the trick!
I swung by the shop on Thursday to grab a Race Cars Are Fun t-shirt... Y'all ran out of them! But I got my KSR t-shirt anyhow! Seen ya back there working hard didn't want to bug you. Maybe next time... I was gonna leave you and the crew some Texas Beers but somehow forgot to before heading back to Texas! Keep up the good work, we really appreciate you!
Was surprised how much work there was left after taking the body off. But with all hands on deck it got knocked out pretty quick! It weighed more than I thought, but it makes sense with how much tubular triangulation there is with the solid floors. 🤔
It is awesome to see all that goes into building a quality race car! Gonna be amazing when it is completed...but until then love the education that you are providing!! Thanks again for taking us along!! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!
So Sweet !!’
Laptop. Max out the memory and swap to flash storage. What I did. Helped a lot on my ancient laptop.
I'd clinch the shift lever, so angle is adjustable.
Great work!
Look forward to seeing it come together.
3:30pmSat6-15 2024this is Tads Dad always great videos
Pro tip with laptops. Plugging it into the wall usually makes them faster. When on battery, they slow down to save power if you don't tinker with the settings.
Also putting it on a flat surface with good ventilation to keep it from slowing down due to thermal soaking. Think of it like retarding the timing to cool things down, it's a safety / longevity thing.
Thanks for the info!
Eddie MAKING CHANGE !
Loving the epic thumbnails 😮 your killing it man CantStopWontStop don’t you ever stop
Another great video, it's a treat to peek over the shoulder of the KSR team. BTW, I got my t-shirt, shipped all the way to North Scotland.
Very cool!
Definitely weigh the thing as you progress and give us the weights
Kevin, switch to a high end Chromebook if you possibly can. I would hope that your tuning apps/programs would have ChromeOS compatible versions. Once I switched away from Windows the computing life improved ten times over
GO Eddie!!! Crankin out those dimes like the US Treasury! Great video Kevin, can't wait to see the chassis in powder coat!
Hey kev. Talking about dropping tail shafts. I was racing one of my old cars it was a 265 4 speed charger and it dropped a front uni and it dug into the road at a 120 mph. And it picked the car up and turned the car around backwards and I saved the car I didn’t crash it. But it broke the bal housings and gear box mount and broke the diff center off the tubes and turned it down ward. And it was a ride and my mate that was with me needed a new nappy. Poor bugger cried. But it did put the shits up me a little. But I have had some whiled rides so it was not that bad. But I didn’t think it would ever happen. And now it’s no. 1 thing on my list when building a car is a tail shaft loop. I’ve never liked having people in my car when racing because you are responsible for their lives. After that I don’t have any one with me when drag racing. But track racing we are allowed to have passengers and I take people out on the track for joy rides. I just take it easy so I don’t hurt anyone.
Aussie Hemi. Awesome engine.
Its good to see Eddie grow up and have a job although i do miss watching him on the Munsters . Gigggity
I'm always subscribed to watch Kevin work
Kavin I glad you are doing videos because I have learned a bit about what it takes to build a race car
Awesome!!
That parting comment was funny as😂
Unreal how much work goes into building a cage like that until you see it out in the open lots of work 😮😮😮
Wow, i guessed 398lbs. Sooooo close! Great videos!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDDY!
Haha he must not have his earth quake certs yet ! lol and I don’t like throttling I like constant volts and feet wire to make the (dimes) but looks good !!!!
Adjustable steering column and Breakpedals would work great in that Car, CJRC.
The CJRC adjustable steering column is a killer piece, bit it would not work with how I have this car laid out.
Very good weight for a drag and drive build.
Enjoying the build. Thanks, Kevin, and shop. ✌️
Never have i saw a "Dime" that small. All the "Dimes" i have are about 1/2" in diameter...............jussayn...,😂😂😂 Y'all take care.
You should have tried to tuck it in Kevin 😂 We could have seen Eddie dance😂😂
That's a nice piece of art work. Well done. Rex in NZ.
Enjoy the content brother.
I’ve always wanted to know what a bare chassis weighs! 🎉
Kevin, on your high end builds for ballast take a look at Densamet or sintered tungsten balls heavier than lead and more compact but not as cheap
Of cause the computor is not working. Its a Dell. By the way, good to see you guys cleaning up.....lol
Where I live in Granbury I saw a loaded concrete truck pogo, it was going downhill and it dug a good trench in the highway. I'm pretty sure there is a video about it.
I was welding the roll cage in my 72 Duster and I just got done welding a place that I couldn't see. I
Was using a stick welder. So I grabbed it and yanked on it to ensure it was tight and I herd I herd something sizzling after a few seconds I realized it was my hand. Lmao, I had to drive home with a ice cold can of beer in my hand. And no, the beer didn't have anything to do with it. Thick cales. 😂
You and Steve good guys keep at it both really cool to watch thanks again.
Do you have some one close that inspects and check the chassis before paint or powder coating.
Yea, I think his name is Kevin. Lol
I don't know much about welding but I was curious to why you still use a foot pedal and not a finger control when TIG welding?
Thanks again for getting threw another Sunday.
Just my personal preference
I would have just used light weight steel floor pans. But if you were insistant on thicker barely lighter alum. I would of heated the mild pipe until it just barely noticibly gets to starting the sweating phase and fused alum alloy rod to it and just flow it to the alum pan no need to heat it the temp of the molten alum will heat it enough for a fusion weld after just being close to the heating of the weld.
Guaranteed to break where the alum sheet was heated right next to the welds edge when teasted. If it takes more than 3 90 degree bends back a forth to crack your golden.
what a great shop
It's the stretch of the bend that reduces the diameter slightly
Cool stuff! Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
Thank you for the video. Time for powder coating
Be interesting to see what it weighs after coming back from powder coating
On the fire bottle make sure you can mount it on its side, unless designed to lay down it won't work
I don’t know if HTP offers a wireless peddle option or not but they are the bees knees when you’re crawling all around the chassis.
How did Eddie/Eddy learn to weld? My 17 year old is starting welding school in Aug.
My dad taught me how to mig weld when I was 16, then I went to UNOH in Ohio to learn about racecars, I had a 6 week welding class which taught me the basics. Then I bought a cheap tig welder and practiced in my garage!
@EddyElder99 how did you like UNOH? I taught at IvyTech in Indiana.
@@EddyElder99 so how long did you go to UNOH? I’m a big dirt car fans so very familiar with the school.
So you graduated with a degree from UNOH or just 6 week welding class?
It looks like the Grand Canyon on video, but is much narrower than it looks.
What type of material are you using compared to what CJ is using on Garrett’s new car?
Great content thanks for sharing
When is that SMX going in Soccer Mom
Nice work
Practical question: how do you make sure you don't miss any welds? Do you have a system for keeping track?
Multiple times looking the car over from multiple people.
Fun fact, the spinny blue thing when the laptop is thinking is called a "throbber"
Being a welder over 20 years.
Your product is mint, but to weld is an easy part of a build. But........ your welder NEEDS to move around. To be taught & understand "Heat Effective Zone" shows how iron moves.
Fingers crossed the body slids on as good as it came off.
Am a HUGE Fan of your work, but have to speak seeing what I live for a career & express my knowledge.
Wow,that is light....I was guessing 600
It's looking great 👍
Where's my 2 dollars ????
Eddie the PaperBoy..
Need that computer upgraded/tuned lol
people talking bout gaps there talking about the gap in-between there old lady's legs only difference is the tube will get filled with weld and she'll continue to disappoint and you can fuse those gaps no problem no filler
Run the can all the way up even if it needs to be 2 pc, do some research on " Barbara Nesbitt driveshaft failure " and the fallout of that incident . Steve is probably going to run a carbon fiber drive shaft but still it can be a hazard.
Eddie is sick? I mean, he worked too much in this video! :D
I know you are powdercoating the chassis.
But why not powdercoat the body too, we see that done in drifting and I believe it’s also something that is done in circletrack.
Would be very durable
Had to be a Dell laptop 😆
I guessed 331. But with Eddie's welds, I could see where that extra weight came from. 😂 (j/k Eddie)
How much would it be for like a 25.2 chassis? Or like a 25.1 chassis?
Hey Kevin, I Was Looking At Val And Steves Car, You're Building, Particularly The Frame Around The Engine, Should Val Do A Decent Wheelie And Comes Down To The Track, Which Part Of The Frame Will Or Should Absorb Most Of The Shock? Where Are You Mounting The Front Springs And Shock Absorbers And Is It Going To Be Strong Enough To Handle An SMX?
The front struts mount in the factory location off of the upper rails of the cage. They will absorb most of the load before the K-member hits the ground.
And yeah, its going to handle an SMX just fine if Steve and Val ever go that direction.
Need to name the Chevy II Black Ice.
Fuckin A Eddie!
Going to be so fast!
Let's see it in powder coat 😅
Is that a nos front end shouldn't it be stronger for blower or turbo
The front end is not stock......and it will handle the twin turbo SML just fine.
Great content, is the trellis style frame down the meddle over the transmission a NHRA requirement or just something extra.
Something extra
Curious what the powder coating adds in weight to the chassis.
We will find out!!
No what you should do Kevin is design and build a welding hood for a camera.
MFR that and sell it and finance a lot of race car stuff.
Lol no no really don't think they've made one yet.
Keepemcoming
Kevin why didn't you and will run sick week drag n drag this year 😂
We did......
I was honestly guessing around 400
replace the hard drive with a solid state drive get someone to clone your existing drive and that thing will be gooder...
Whats powder coating gonna add?
weigh it again after powder coat, see how much that added.
Powdercoat added 3lbs on Grants C5, for reference.
What a tutorial
" Tuck it in there "...🤣🤣🤣
How heavy is the powder coat
We will find out soon enough!
🤘😎👍
He was welding with the same gloves before the camera was on him didn't have a problem then?
Kevin I was wondering do you go around the chassis with a sharpie and make a mark on or near every joint to make sure everything is welded? But you guys are doing an awesome job!
Several of us do, just incase one of us misses something
Awesome
that laptop need new ram card and defraged
Kevin is Steve Morris going to put a reliable proline racing engine in his gen 5 Camaro
This has already been answered in multiple videos. The car is getting an SML from Steve's engine shop. I think you may just be making these posts to take shots at Steve, which is kinda silly.....
Looks awesome but the one bar from column to floor needs to be removed just looks out of place
It looks a little bit more “normal” when the pedals are installed.
