    Love how the Cat has to inspect everything. A key player in the build.

      My 2 "shop cats" do the same thing. They give every vehicle I work on a before and after inspection to be sure that the work is up to snuff.

      That's not a cat. It's a heavily altered honey badger

    I like the "Kid with a bag of fireworks" look on Steve's face as he carries the section of floorpan off to the bin

    I'm not a drag racer. But I absolutely love customizing and fabricating. I could definitely see myself doing this if the circumstances were right

    Thanks for giving the weights of the stock suspension vs the A100 axle, back in the day I’d always heard there was a weight saving, but after lifting a beam axle and springs, I highly doubted it. So in fact, they actually accepted a weight penalty.

    I love the lack of high tech tools! Looks like the kind of project I saw as a kid. One stock car build reached a critical decision point: spend the last of the pooled cash on fresh welding rods or beer? Beer won out because they could "borrow" welding rods at work.

    • @Babarudra
      @Babarudra Před 2 lety +2

      yea, though I'm not sure I'd call a plasma torch "lack of high tech". Everything was cutoff wheels, sawzalls and oxy/acet in the good old days.

    Great stuff, Steve. You should alter the wheelbase of Rem Charger.
    Wow. That would be some car.

    @tony66au Před 2 lety

    Wow, so simple!
    One of the nice things is Plasma cutters are way cheaper these days as are half decent Mig and Tig welders, cheap enough so you can afford a proper Plumb Bob :-)

    Would love to see this process done on a '67-'72 F100. Take a long box. Remove only the section between the front and rear wheels. Leave the back long. Then move the Twin-I-Beam forward on the frame. A funny-truck. Could be sweet.

    Chopping up one of my 'dream' cars. In the 70s when I was in grade school there was one of these that used to tool around in my neighborhood. Medium Blue, Cragar SS mags w/ big & wide on a jacked up rear end : and yellow 'slapper bars'. I don't know what for engine it had or even if it was fast ! I just knew as a 8-9-10 year old boy I liked it !

    Very inspirational. There's a 2 door 61 Lark down the road and I have a spare Champ front axle... turbo Slant 6 or the 413 wedge under the bench?

    @MikeBrown-ii3pt Před 2 lety

    Love these videos Steve but, why not just go to a hardware store and pick up a real plumb bob for about $10 in todays money? They have a pointed end that makes finding the actual center easier than with a pulley or washer.

    I’m Curious is this the same guy fabricator that came out on Jay Leno Garage. On The playboy pink AMX AMC car. About 4 years ago. He did the rotisserie restoration. Don’t know just asking.

      That car will do a wheelie every time you stomp it, not smoke tires. They cleaned house in their day.
