- čas přidán 8. 01. 2016
- The Fabricator Series Segments (TFSS): Chapter pulled from "How To Build A Tube Chassis Front End" which demonstrates complete tube chassis front end fabrication on a Nissan 240SX S13.
This Chapter covers the fabrication methods used to measure, fabricate, and install the upper radiator core support that will also become the front diffuser location.

Another great episode! Loved the grace and aggression description of your work. That s curve bend from the upper rad support that then wraps around the headlight bucket looks so sick. Fantastic work as always! Thanks so much for sharing.

+efitter7 I wouldn't be sharing if people weren't watching, so thank you for keeping it alive!
Excellent video, very informative.
What welder did you use in this video? Can you recommend a welder for someone starting in fabrication? I'm going to be tackling a log manifold turbo kit in my LS swapped 135i.
Amazing work, you have an awesome skill. I have a Bronco build that I'm working on and your videos have helped in my roll cage build. I can't tell you how many times that I have watched them. Thanks!
I thank you very much for watching. Be sure to share some pics of your build if you'd like. I'd like to see it.
awsome job
+Derrick Stockton Thank you!
Looks cool in steel, look the absolute nuts in brushed aluminium! Love the videos!
+Andrew Wilson Brushed aluminum is one of my favorite finishes. Thanks for watching!
The Fabrication Series hey I was wondering where you buy sheet metal? Also I was thinking of getting this done for my car since I don't feel comfortable enough to do myself and I don't have a welder anymore or some or enough experience with fabricating. Haha
Am I correct in thinking that the leading bar or bumper isn’t connected back to the rest of the chassis at the rear ends to allow it to bend only at the bottom and have some flexibility in a low speed bump and not affect the rest of the chassis
Ur a pro
Just wondering what mig welder do you use ? And great videos keep up the great work!!
+That Oneguy Thank you! The MIG is a Millermatic 135 and my TIG (often seen in other vids) is a Miller Diversion180. Both are excellent small welders that will do just about any job you ask related to this side of the fabrication industry (and others).
nice job!!!
+Hihihi Tpt Thank you!
+The Fabricator i love cars!♡
That's as good as me custome installing a turbo kit with swamp meet tool set
Are those tubes mild steel or stainless?
Would there be a benefit to tieing the strut tower brace into the firewall also ?
+Norman Murray It all depends on the build and the chassis itself. Some will benefit from it while some will be nothing more than a decoration. This particular build with all of the additions proved to be ineffective if I triangulated the tower. All it would have done was add weight.
You use level or zero reference on your level finder a lot before you tack a tube in place on the car. Do you have the car shimmed up so that the frame itself is perfectly level, or is your floor and the car suspension that dialed that you can trust your level?
My garage slopes out, and also away from the center of the garage so, I have to shim everything I am working on to ever think of considering trusting level.
+insaynbcr The only true way to ensure it is all completely level is with a frame jig or rack. Off camera, there is a lot of setup involved which includes measuring and shimming slightly to get it as accurate as possible. It is a lot of extra work, but it must be done.
I figured as much, but had to ask anyway. You'd only be so lucky to get a perfectly level garage to work in, right. ;-)
A perfectly level floor would be a dream, but definitely not my luck haha.
I respect the gold lense (all i used when i first learned welding) but wouldn't an auto darkening hood be more helpful
I'll try to explain as best as I can. When auto-dark helmets first came on to the market, I bought one. They weren't what they are now, but I was flash burned too many times to want to try again.
The other part of it is the hood I wear now is the first hood I ever bought about 15 years ago. It has an extreme sentimental value to it, and I never want to get rid of it. There are so many memories and a calmness that follows every time I flip it down or up. 'Ol Chino (the Chassis Tech switch hitter) on the left side has been stuck to the side since day one. I just feel best with my big window lens I guess.
+The Fabricator ahhh got ya. Still have my first hood too, jackson with #10 gold lens. Have it hanging above my garage door lol good stuff I enjoy your videos, very well planned out and full of helpful information.
How did you mount the headlights to the tubed front?
Mario Castro Watch all the videos. It's very detailed in the secondary tube fab/install vid.
Do you think the tubbed front end and the wheel tubs together weigh more that oem front end?
+Jadon Ghereben I believe I calculated all of the material and it is really close. I can't recall exactly, but I think it was only a 6 pound difference in weight, but a serious difference in strength and handling which is often compensatory for weight gains.
have you ever made a sandrail or a tube 4x4 buggy????????
Yes.
The Fabrication Series I do my own projects but I'm stumped as to what to use for a front suspension.what do you suggest for a buggy/sandrail using a GMC Akadia engine/trans combo. Awesome videos !
I am wondering what a shop charges on average for a job like this.
1500-3000
What car do you own
Currently, a Mercedes.
the what not is back lol
+janie rice Its a term I use often.
Love your work, but "notate" is not a word. It makes me crazy.
It actually is. It's a verb meaning "to note".
No. You could say "note"...or "make a note". Annotate also means to make a note. But since Note is already a verb, you cannot make it a verb by adding the -ate suffix.
Notate is not a word.
All that said your work is awesome. I'm just funny about the language. It's my problem not yours.
David Owen sorry man...no. The suffix -ate is used to turn a word into a verb. The word Note is both a noun and a verb so adding -ate is redundant. There's a lot if false crap in dictionaries because lazy people have used a word incorrectly so much for so long that some moron decided it belonged in there. It doesn't.
David Owen well my point is that as a professional who communicates with the public for a living, I place a fairly high value on sounding like a professional. That means using proper diction and grammar. I merely hoped to offer a constructive observation to another professional in order to help him improve the impression he makes with his viewers. The way we speak has a huge impact on how we are perceived. Whether you're on CZcams or face to face, people note these things.
