Brilliant Ian UK watching 🇬🇧 absolute master 🙏💪
Them parts are called a upper and lower A arms. Because it looks like a 😳👉 A
That was a better discussion to get a new and better cross member 😎👍
Hay the holes for the rack and pinion go to the back looking at the firewall . Right ?? I don't know how you're steering column will go ; and gear box placement will be .
I coud be wrong of course.
Like the show 👊😎👍
@@cryingdemocrats1460 Rack goes in front of the crossmember, or it will steer wrong.
The most enjoyable show / on RUclips, such entertaining, creative work. Congratulations too both Ian and Jamie.
I loved every minute of today's episode. You keep doing what you do. Don't let any body tell you how to be you. Great job.
Here for another great show. Thank you
Ian, your creativity is amazing!
You're like the Bob Ross of car building/fab etc thank you Ian & Jamie. Can't get enough footage. Please more more more. 100 from Australia
Ian and Jamie thank you always fun to watch your Talent and your interaction with one another
Can't get me enough of the interaction between Jamie and Ian and his projects. What's he gonna do next. Amazing skills
I gotta say Ian is a magician I'm convinced.
Ian is just not the magician fabricator but he’s also a comedian. I just love his style and having Jamie on his side they become a great team. Retired from Pahrump Nevada
my experience with a mustang II suspension installation is to place a straight edge under the crossmember and lower control arms so that the lower control arms are parallel to the floor during installation
Love all the videos!
Between your math skills, imagination and a teetering pile of metal, you can’t lose. And Jamie will provide the proof. Loving it guys!
I really admire your level of patience. You don't say that it won't work, you say, "Let's try it again."
Ian, use two spacers for the bottom controls arm to center the control am since you centered the top coil spring pocket bracket. Good luck on the steering rack. Bump steer is sometimes an issue with lowering Mustang 2.
I love these hour long videos. I wish you had more of them
enjoy watching Ian at that higher speed.
Ian, you could eliminate the tire rubbing the fender wheels by only driving straight. lol. Your work is looking great 👍
Thanks for the tips and tricks Ian. Thank you Jamie for the video.
I love how Ian is inadvertently making the front low AF by mounting the frame rails that low in the crossmember. Since low is what he's shooting for, he'll appreciate it in the end. 😁
That was a nerve -racking install Ian. You the man!
Ian i know i have a lot of comments but the importate one is the top hat tilting to the front for antidive.the new ones you have are level.i place a 2x6 under crossmember with a short one under crossmember aprox 2 ft and another longer out to ball joints giving lower arms slightly lower than level for proper ride height.i have installed over20 ov these susp.in hot rods and fixed over 10 that were not installed properly.im no know it all but have exp.if you want to stop straight under hard braking include the anti dive into install
Hahaha, the eyemuffs marker thing was great, congrats on the Zepher, you guys are killing it. 👍❤
Absolutely enjoy listening to you both and how real down to earth you both are
This Zephyr is really going to kick ass!! Love this build!!👍
Use a 2ft 2x6 and a 5ft 2x6 under crossmember it will let cont arms drop an inch ant lock them in place as lower arms point downward slightly for proper ride height.
I’m glad to see you got the right parts and didn’t try to bodge the free one.the zephyr is a special ride and deserves the best
A ONE HOUR video😍
Longest one yet if I’m not mistaken
It’s Totally Rad watching Ian at work, but can Jamie do another desert tour please. The yellow flowers have me intrigued.
when Ian dumps out all the nuts and bolts searching for the right one it reminded me of doing that with legos as a kid.
Even though I'm not quite sure where you're headed, it's a fun ride.
Beautiful view
It's amazing hey, like a oil painting sometimes..
Thank you for sharing.🛸👽👍
Too much math to be mathin', LOL. Ian you rock, and Jamie you're fantastic also.
Not only do I get to watch Ian work, Jamie injected a moment to enjoy the flowers! I can't remember ever stopping during an engine swap doing that! I think I'll add that move to the work flow, thanks Jamie! 😃
Hi guys, ive done several mustang ii fronts. Two different manufacturers and both needed to have the hatts pitched. The pitch or angle front to back. Not saying keeping level is wrong.... i dont really know. Anyway thanks for another great video! Cheers
And the top hat needs to be back a bit from the spindle center for proper caster and camber alignment.
Weld temp brace from cross member to top hat top inside will still slide fore and aft for axle center line then put Temp bar from top of all thread to other all thread also front of top hat needs to be half inch higher than back helps in anti squat during braking
Making stuff work out of nothing or old used parts is what I love about your show. The creativity of making something work that people say shouldn't work good job love you what y'all do.
I love how you all work together
Love seeing the entire process,here on yt.
Your builds that they show on tv in one program,must take months,or more.
Months and months with help off screen when it was allowed…still wasn’t enough time to fully develop an idea… ~ Jamie
Another great episode!
Great video creative fun entertaining with being informative what a joy to watch
cool long show. it was a nice day in west port today. little cloudy now.7 pm.
Really coming together now, great job mocking up that front end.
Great video and videography as always.
I like the hour long format.there wasn’t any part of it that was boring.there never is in any of the videos.
Please keep the videos coming
Nice changes on front end always good to learn tricks thank for the ideas thank you Both TCOMITY
Awesome guys learning alot thank you
Looks like you need safety glasses when operating those pens😂😅 thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Don’t forget to hit that LIKE and SUBSCRIBE Buttons. 😊
And Like Comments aswell.
Do not disturb, genius at work! 👍😎
Love watching you set up the front suspension time taken here is well spent not sure what the caster and camber of the car is but with some adjustment you should be able to get it exactly right
Another great video, Ian. Love watching the hard work paying off. Keep up the good work.
Awesome as always 👏 a whole hour with you two ❤ the zephyr #1 FAN of this channel my last build was a 29 model A with my Uncle we built are own chassis chopped and channel it thanks for video 👊👽👍
Looking good can’t wait to see it a roller coaster
Really enjoyed this episode on the mustang 2 cross member. I have been thinking of changing the one on my 33 Chevy sedan from the strut to a no strut cross member, but I have never done one.
Be sure that the top hat is positioned front to back relative to the lower control arm to give you the right caster.
Great video! I hate it when I see a Street rod at a show, that can't turn! A 3 point turn into something much greater. That was a very informative video! I have to get a marker holder now!
Really enjoyed the process and the figuring today!
Hi My Dear Friend Very Good Job ❤❤❤❤❤
NICE - you kept me in suspension for the entire video.
Of course the montages with music helped.
Jamie - your video skills are getting sooooo gooood !
Thank you both for sharing!
Nice full hour of Ian, & Custom Fab! Nice job Jamie-Camera & Edit, and by the way, Jamie don't forget to look under the picnic table and the bench seat if you ever sit on one because I had Black Widow crawl out from under the picnic table once, and that was pretty. Shocking! Been watching Ian 4 many years, on that other show.
That's awesome Ian, you're like a mad scientist. Lol😂😂😂❤
great frontend kit some asembly requared keep up the good work ian
As a metal worker one of most valuable toil was a turn buckle makes squareing frames ect so precise and east
Very interesting, for sure! I liked the loose mock-up. Thanks.
Great video. Cool how you can picture what you want and make it happen. Have a good week. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺
❤great video folks have a great week 😁🔥
Absolutely gorgeous love your work keep up the good work you are one of the greatest fabricators of all times and I enjoy your show been following you for a long time you and Jamie have a blessed week and God bless to both of you
Thanks so much 😊
lol, I’ve had a few of those mock up juggling acts. It’ll test your patience but I needed the visual as my motivation to proceed. Looking Fantastic. Such a beautiful designed car.
Very nice work Ian and good job on the video Jamie Coming along nicely
Good Clean American Fun,Thanks!
You can tell Ian always has safe and healthty at the forefront of everything he does. By the way, just for anyone thinking about doing odd things, I filled an aerosol with jenolite rust converter recently and it had some sort of reaction with the propellant and it exploded on the bench 😮, acid everywhere, thankfully not on me. Don't try this at home folks lol.
I opened a 4lt can of brush on rust converter once that had been sitting in the hot car, the lid smacked me in the face but also shielded my face from the contents... the rest of my head and my neck etc, copped it all and it burnt like hell.
@65cj55 you have to be careful with hazardous stuff eh.
@@scottishcontentcreators Sure do, i think being in a rush causes a lot of accidents etc.
Ian you amaze me, perfect choice of metal beams to get exactly what you needed! Perhaps you need a 3rd or 4th hand every once in awhile ? I’d be more than happy to assist!
I like what you do i have Only watched the last few months and I like the way you work with the heart to day i watching for about five hours and I love what you do to cars trucks and bikes i will follow you.I am78 year's old and retried in Bali Indonesia love what you do 🙏🙏👍
You have skills that will work great stay safe
You’ve done it again Ian. You still blow my mind even to this day. The one thing I cannot get over on that Zephyr is how great that front grill is. It is amazing how straight everything is on that. I’m dying to see what you do with her same as the bug. I think both of those are turning into my favourites. Please keep up the great work that you do and your channel. Please take care of yourself and blessings to you and Mrs Ian(and shadow of course) from England.
Glad ya went with a wider crossmember. 👍
Great fabrication work! Brilliant outcome! The Zephyr is getting closer to completion!
Jonie on top of it with camera 💚👍👽
Yeah, I’ve been around the block a few times myself. Just, not this block.
Absolutely love that you let us watch the process.
Great job. You both are doing awesome. So close to 100k. Thanks for sharing
@fullcustomIan Two quotes of yours that have helped me through projects (even house related projects): "It's metal, it wants to be told what to do" and "...but I'm not scared, I have a [tool needed for job]" - thank you for instilling confidence, and for the great content here on RUclips! Appreciate the hours you and Jamie are putting in 💯
Thank you! Appreciate that! ~ Jamie
Nice Work. Master Class.
BTW>>>>> love the ( MOCK UP ) notification.... LOL
even when you do no welding, I learn something every episode😊
Great work ! You are truly a all around custom designer! Your the best ! Your team is Jamie the hounds and you ! -fantastic!
Beautiful weather and beautiful company what could go wrong
I could watch you work all day Ian
I Love how you make such a MARK on your builds.... But great planning, thinking to get it just right
Master craftsman, metalsmith and engineer all rolled into one. GREAT NEIGHBOR TOO! Mojave, CA
Love his projects and I know he's a master builder. My suggestion is 10-20 minute vids. One hour is a bit too much. Keep up the great work.
You’re right it’s coming together. Thanks for the content and more views of the desert as it blooms would be appreciated.
Certainly a lot of head scratching and mock up work for the new front suspension set up, but it's coming together really well 👌 👍
Nice production
What you drew on the floor is just what we did to my 50 Dodge p/u. I put a mustang 2 front clip in and I bought it from Speedway. Motors and the kit was for a Chevy p/u 51 to 53. The frame rails on my Dodge were much wider. than the Mustang, but we got it to fit like a glove.
Fatman Fabrications makes kits for most all of these old cars, no universal kits. Follow the directions and you will get good results. Call them if you have any questions, good tech support. They are by far the best MIi kits available in my opinion.
I have really enjoyed all your shows. I check youtube each day for updates. One think that I would like to offer is years ago I was like Ian and had my nuts, bolts, washers in a pile. I took the time one day to make wooden boxes on draw slides, labeled them, separated them and put them in an old cabinet on the wall. Pull out the box you need, you should find what you are looking for much quicker. I also have some old cricket plastic sheets that I pour them out on and then all I have to do is pick up the sheet and pour them back in the boxes. Just a thought. Really enjoy the way you make decisions on the fly and not have to follow some pre drawn project.
Nothing pumps me up like watching the master at work... You Guys are AMAZINGLY INCREDIBLE at what you do... there's nothing else that even comes close...
It's starting to come together Ian, i like watching work. You do things just like I would. I hope you get to number of subscribers you need soon, if I could subscribe again I would.
I'll call this video...front suspension 101
What a great way to learn!!!!
I just love the way your brain works 👍👍
Many thanks to you both for bringing us these wonderful videos. Ian is a master craftsman with the most amazing skills and your
camera work is spot on. You guys don't need a million-dollar shop. once again thank you, Tom down in Australia.
You guys are awesome together. Coming along nicely.👍
As always great content by 2 great ppl
Can watch you guys all day , keep it up
