Front frame rails connected and narrowing the 8.8 rear axle

So in this video the Ratstock Ratrod Buildoff Buick Electra 225 chassis gets a little closer. We tried several methods to connect the frame rails together and finally made some pieces I approved. The rear axle was cut, removing 2 7/8 " from the drivers side. We will grab a right side axle shaft to put on that side.

Good info thanks
You should have at least three grinders, one with a wire wheel, one with grinding disc and one with a cutting wheel.....saves a lot of time rather than keep changing out to what you need...
Definately need to narrow, (at least the front). Tricky to get the proportions right on something like this, but,yer gettin' it! Love,,,DUBS,,,,,
The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎👎💩💩💩😬
The last inserted piece of video was your best yet
What on earth is the orange shirt guy trying to accomplish ? Or does he get paid by how many disc he can go through ?
THANK"$ FOR SHOW"N !!! ... .. . 😂 BROTH"R 😮🤩🐎🤠 🤪
Like the helpers FFA T-shirt!
making good progress but one concern is the engine mounting is dead on the joint of the frame...something to look into...and lets try and maintain some P.P.E we cant be cutting grinding and the like and compromising safety
i think the motor mount straddling the frame joint works to add strength. I spent some time in front of the mirror about that PPE. I will de better.
Hey how about telling the young man to put on safety glasses.
I spent some time in front of the mirror about that PPE. I will de better.
What body were those headers originally for? thank you. Happy Father’s Day. Smitty.
CORVETTE SIDEPIPE HEADERS
Some good progress. 👍
Thanks 👍
Making progress, are you going to tie it all together with a roll cage?
not planning a roll cage
Coming along nicely 👌
Speed holes!
Great video love that crossmember style
Thanks!
Videos are getting better every time keep up the good work guys
👍
Love the channel, just a suggestion here don’t forget to “take the camera with you “ although I’ve never made a video for CZcams I do know that I like to see all of what’s going on, I’m loving the project! Going to share with my friends
Don’t know where you are so I can’t bring anything for you to work on lol but you’re probably too far away from MS
Love it can’t wait to see the finished version
The angel of the rear section is interesting. I can see that being helpful in some ways. I'll be watching to see how that comes together.
It's all good it's car building time. 👍
I love rattrods, classics,vans,semis,ratsemis, motorhomes, motorcycles 🏍️
👍🏻👍🏻
4:35 in the morning saw what ya doing so l liked it so l joined ya hopefully you got this big project ahead looking forward for a journey in your project thks again never enough time after ya 65 never but keep plugging away from Canada 🇨🇦 Sk later keep it up lookin fine from hear😊
This channel is turning out greater as time goes by...the 30 min videos are fairly ok...Reckon considering doing a voice over as to what you doing progressively and do different views with close ups too will hold viewers attention and grow the channel too... just a subscribers humblest opinion 👍👍👍
i will give that a shot
Progress. 👍
Hi from UK The more films you do the better they will be. Im enjoying watching your build make progress
Thanks 👍
Shades on the windows behind you would help with that glare in your videos. IMHO.
good idea, thanks
1st to comment...this build is going to be interesting....As you say you learning to make videos which isnt a bad thing...just keep the background music a little lower as it becomes overpowering and distracting to what you doing in video...just my humblest suggestions
thanks
No worries on how great the video's are. sometimes the subs don't come as quick as you would hope they would. I know a lot of people are doing the shorts to get subs. It's taken me 4 years to get where I'm at. But you just keep on keeping on, it's fun to be able to post your videos. 👍 There's a group of guys that Go by the (No name Nationals) they do a 2-day drag racing event in sikeston Missouri in September. If you # no name nationals You can stay connected with that group. 👍
Thanks for the tips!
Very Cool Ride! Cant wait to see the finished product, Subscribed!!!
Thanks 👍
Very KOOL
Kool build I will stay tuned. 👍
Go buy a microphone I'm tired of trying to understand what you are saying..
How do you get a rat rod magazine banner!? Cant wait to see the chasis come together!
i bought it at the tulsa car show last month. they have a web page
That looks like so much fun! You get to play with old car stuff and design it however you want. Life doesn't get any better. Enjoy.
these are the things dreams are made of
That is a great looking start. The back end looks like a rat rod batmobile with those wings/fins sticking out. I like it!
Right on
Get a clip on mic do really think we can understand you as you talk to the car 15 feet away?
Hardcore fab sent me. Subscribed!
Wish you could film more of the build Maybe don’t even have to talk just kill the sound and put some mild rock and roll on in back ground and just film the the build Or not Just a suggestion Making a 15 min video is not easy I have tried and I am not comfortable with it yet but will get there
you need a wireless mike can not hear you allthe time
I got my license test in my dad's red, 1959 Buick Le Sabre convertible!...364V8, 250hp, dynaflo trans...smooth, but not really quick!
Watching this with interest. 😀 No mig welding while filming. hehe, learning all the time eh ? 😂
Looking forward to seeing this build.Thumbs up
Been checking this out this morning..looks like really cool project..subscribed to follow along...hope theres lots more to come..all the best steve uk
Subscribed. I like the vision and I appreciate the honorable mention of your father. My Dad was an inspiration to me as well... made me the car nut I am today. I'm currently working on a 48 IH KB2 on a 89 Dakota chassis... with aspirations of taking it to Ratstock.
I appreciate that
Kinda looks like a rat rod version of the Batmobile.
Hell, you got help. And you're slower than I am. And I work alone.
Good work takes time. 😜
