  • Tom Tom cuts out rear fenders, frame cross members, and the truck bed to make room for the rear suspension. The trailing arms and shocks are mocked up with the help of an unconventional new design tool, the pool noodle!

    The folks badgering him about the lighting and sound need to chill out. Enjoy that he is building an awesome truck and taking us along the adventure. Also realize he left a successful channel to go out on his own and risk everything! You do you Tom!

    Jesus Christ! The people complaining about the lighting and sounds in his garage, are you kidding me? It’s a garage for crying out loud. What does your garage look like? Is it set up with lights and sound equipment? Is it set up as a recording studio? Then shut up about his garage, it suits him fine. He doesn’t need a recording studio to make him happy.

    Geez Tom, you shouldn't fret at all regarding lighting and echos. You proudly use what you have and, as you explained, you will eventually upgrade when it is feasible and financially possible. RUclips's unfettered comment system unleashed a hoard of unqualified critics who never seem to be satisfied. You create a truly informative content that brings myself, and many others, a great degree of satisfaction. Keep up the great work!

    Ahhhh, Tom, releasing the inner child at heart. As an engineer, I really love listening to your rational thoughts on reasoning behind your designing. When I watched you cutting the tops off the trailing arms, I thought you were making a terrible mistake, only for you to tell me exactly what I had been thinking and that you had plans for adding the strength back in. Confidence in, and respect for you, now reinforced.

    If there are any pool noodles left over, maybe you can tape them to the wall to calm the echo.

    Hey Tom.. A little trick I've learned from many "pro street" and "bracket car" drag racing builds.. When you have to weld in a bracket that is factory riveted and painted, use a torch to burn off the paint first followed by a stiff wire wheel or a round mandrel mounted kind you can put in a drill or die grinder.. You'll still get a few "gas holes" but far less and smaller than sanding alone...

    There is also audio processing you can do at the edit time to help reduce echo. It won't fix it entirely, but you can reduce the effect. I personally don't really mind the echo because it is clear that you are in a big echo-ey room and that's part of the experience. Of course it is better to reduce the capture of the echo -- another way to do this is to use a shotgun microphone which prioritizes audio from in front instead of from the sides. But I would be willing to bet that with some simple editing software settings you can reduce your echo enough.
