Hey LT! My wife has a vinyl cutter that can cut thin cardboard, it's called a Cricut Maker. I design my sheet steel pieces and before I have them laser cut I have my wife cut the parts from old cereal boxes and tape them together as a "sort of close" template (taking in to account the thickness differences) but it really works well for flat parts. And she can also cut me vinyl stickers for my cars.
The government doesn't want you know this, but cereal box cut down to 8.5x11 will go through home and office printers. Make sure you print at 100% scale.
Give fusion 360 a shot if you run into a barrier with sketch up, also consider getting a cheaper 3d printer (like an Ender 3), you can print your mockups before getting them CNC, it'll save you time overall if things don't fit or they need to be changed.
Hi Lawrence, I've been a Mech Eng for coming up on 20 years now, and what you're doing is absolutely Engineering, has been the whole time. People in my field get really finnicky about what is and isn't Engineering, but the bottom line is that it's solving problems. I love watching your work and follow yours and other builder youtube channels to watch you guys design and build :) I'd suggest that you may want to consider looking at a SolidWorks Maker licence, they're only around $100 and you'll hit serious limitations with Sketchup pretty soon... It's a fun program, but it's not going to give you the outcomes that a proper parametric CAD program will. Anyway, I hope that helps and keep on kicking ass :)
I agree with you Drew. I’ve been an ME for 18 years and the amount of technical problem solving I see with LT’s builds is definitely engineering. I also agree that Solidworks is a better choice given LT’s desires to do modeling and designs similar to the guy he referenced on Instagram.
Thanks for the suggestion on the program, I learned on Unigraphics NX back in school, and I definitely do not love sketch up so I will for sure try solid works. And thanks for watching as well! I do like solving problems as these projects evolve.
@@LawrenceTolman I use NX now... Solidworks is sort of like a simplified version of NX, it does the same things, but there aren't as many ways to do things and once you get the hang of it it's much more intuitive than NX... I usually tell people who've come from other CAD platforms to expect not to be happy with their output for at least a month of use after a week long training course... In Solidworks I've seen people getting the hang of it inside a few hours and becoming reasonably proficient on the basics in a couple of days... Nowhere near as powerful as NX, but you're not designing a whole car, part by part, from the ground up ;) Also, Solidworks has a Sheet Metal function which I think you'll want to learn :)
Give OnShape a try. You will thank me. There are some major limitations with sketch up since it’s not a parametric modeling program. It will also feel much more like what you used back in school.
Hey LT, I had a 98 gt that went through 3 or 4 sets of plug wires and had intermittent misfires. I finally figured out that the boots weren't sealing up well and water was getting into well the plugs were set in and corroding the connection to the plug. Dielectric grease around the top of the boot to seal it up and never had another problem.
Tip Most of the newer cad drawing programs can import pictures from a camera or scanner. So you can simply take a photo of what you need to draw import it to the program then use it as a guide to trace the cut lines etc.
Junkyard Dave here on youtube has an amazing awd hellcat powered dodge magnum and uses send cut send for his project. They are amazing. Glad you are using them, maybe you can work on a deal with them if you start using them enough!
I can't wait to see these come back and to see how they look once welded on the chassis. The Ugly truck maybe Ugly on the outside but it will be beautiful on the inside and down under!
I used the cardboard method on my s10 frame and boxed it in. Couldn't afford big pieces but I talked to a machine shop and was able to get 18 to 24 inch pieces of 1/4 inch. I appreciate where you are headed it's a lot of work.
I follow a bunch of rc builders who use SCS. And people seem to have excellent results. Most were using fusion 360, seems to be a reasonably good free software. Up to this point everything I've ever built was just by old school cad.(cardboard aided design) But because I already have a plasma cutter, I have been looking an arc droid. I am interested to see how this all works out. Good luck man
Mqn I am PSYCHED too see this build come together! Everyone can hate on 8.1s all they want, I've been waiting for someone to prove every one of them wrong
@@LawrenceTolman It's the same concept of a trick I often use on an engine that's not idling right, unplug one coil/spark or injector at a time. If it gets worse that hole is good, if it doesn't change that hole is your problem.
Fusion 360 you may find more powerful and is free for hobbyists. I also have used FreeCAD and it has some features that make creating 3d models from images of real parts pretty handy. Lots of tutorials for both on youtube. Also a $200-$300 3d printer can save you a ton of time prototyping stuff before sending it to Send Cut Send.
I used sketch up a few times for my woodworking hobby and I decided it was faster for me to sketch things out on paper. I just never fell in love with sketch up. I use other drafting and design software for my job everyday and we even tested Sketch up and we did not end up adding it to our list of softwares. I hope it works for what you want to do with it.
Have you ever thought about reaching out to tool sponsors? If carsandcameras can get a plasma cutter from the manufacturer for go-carts, I'm sure someone would sponsor you with a CNC plasma cutter.
I'm shocked no one has mentioned the Arcdroid! I think you could make that work in your space when you need to make those cuts and can get instant results, assuming you have the material, lol.
Their cut quality is excellent and turn around time very reasonable. They also provide you with a link to track your order within their facility. Just make sure you understand their material selections.
I have had two C5500 Topkicks with duramax engines. I had nothing but problems with aftermarket filters. Especially fuel filters. Put a wix fuel filter on, truck wouldn't start. Went and got a gm filter, fired up no issues. Aftermarket axles seals leaked. GM ones didn't.
Cool video, the laser parts are going to be so worth it. Your OCD will love the precision. I do CAD full time as my job. You will get faster the more you get comfortable with it. I've also done some side stuff that i have 3d printed for myself. I've never done side work but if you run into any issues and need something modeled let me know.
Check out FreeCad, if you haven't already. It'll do parametric modeling and import and export just about any file type. And the price is real nice, as well.
For templates and stuff, once you have it drawn, print it with a 1:1 scale and you can make sure what you’re going to have cut will work. A lot easier to make a few paper templates and check them vs having to grind some away or not fill in an area. It works great for checking holes as well.
SketchUp is AWESOME! I started using it shortly after it first came out from Google. I've designed quite a few pieces with it and it has served me well.
I’m not sure if it’s possible on that program but something to make it easier that I do on something like that is scan the item and make that the background in solid words then trace it. Once you dimension one line correctly everything else will line up perfect
Quick tip and not sure if anyone has said it yet, so hope I’m not repeating the same point. Since you are using non-standard sized cardboard templetes which are flat, the easiest and fastest thing to do is scan them, edge trace (in you cad software) and scale the the trace. It’s much faster and as long as the scaling and scanning is done well model should be perfect.
Fusion 360 is probably the best free option from an affordability standpoint but if you don't want to learn how to do every key shortcut and are in the mood to try some ipad software that can also run on windows and imacs check into Shapr3D. It is able to draw 2d and 3d (in case you want to 3d print anything). It costs about 300 a year but they often have a discount and it is cross platform compatible so you can draw with your finger or a apple pen on an Ipad. Unfortunately there is no Android version, which is a downer. I love it simply because drawing and designing is intuitive with your fingers and you don't have to hold alternate keys or mouse clicks with the CTRL and Alt buttons to rotate and view your drawings. It has a free version that limits your ability to export and files you can save but after doing a couple of drawings I pulled the trigger and the nice thing about it is it saves your drawings on the cloud, you can export them to your desktop device, but you can always reference them from your ipad or imac device as needed.
LT, the more you start producing cut's on metal the more you will realize the cost of SCS starts to add up and you might want to investigate the Arcdroid in the future. It's a big pill to swallow initially but it looks like it is perfect for the home manufacturing process. If you already have a plasma cutter and a welding table it will attach to your welding table and give you a way to cut items in a 26 x 15 inch window, which is really great for a suspension fab setup. They do have a list of cutters that are known to work and the ownwer (Andrew) seems to be providing top notch support and service. I have been on the fence for a while but I am not making anything yet so it's one of those situations where you buy once and cry once in order to invest in your business and I am just not there yet. Hope that gives you some constructive feedback, and also, Get some rest my friend! You looked tired as heck in the first few moments of that video, lol.
Nah if you draw the templates appropriately and follow the process your own plate can be as consistent as send cut send always provide.. Technology can be nice to have & use but there is not much better than we already have had. General Engineering as named, auto engineers etc. Provide us with the equipment considered to be the current pinnacle of endeavour.
Not so critical with laser cutting, but with plasma don't forget to account for kerf. I've used these services in the past (there are a few local to me) with good results. I've tried using a scanner in the past to convert my templates, but there is some distortion in the X-Y between the scanner and printer.
I did this exact thing this week , and I found one place that has a super big fancy scanner that was able to scan it and it was dead on while other scanners had distortion big time
No need to build brackets for your engine, simply go to Chevrolet and purchase 8.1 brackets that will fit onto your frame and the proper motor mounts that fit onto your engine block, it will set the engine in it's Factory location You mentioned plating the frame, the best thing you could do is x-brace that so the frame is triangulated, go look at some of the race car chassis how they're done, the reason is so the frame rails don't move independent of one another, this occurs when you pour the coals to it
Careful LT you keep adding structure and brackets pretty soon that truck will weigh as much as two trucks instead of a "drag Truck" pretty cool company though that will cut and send you your own custom parts and pieces you will have to let us all know how much $$$ it costs and if its a good value.
@_Gingium_ is new to CAD but from what I observed is he takes a photo of something he needs a bracket for, like your ball joints, and he uses Photoshop I think to be able to make the part he needs. With the pictures, he is able to get the holes pretty much perfect with minimal measuring, then he moves it to his CAD program and does the rest. I'm no expert, but I think taking a picture is easier and more reliable than trying to measure the location of all the holes.
I've had great luck with SendCutSend. Unless you get sponsored by Langmuir or someone and get a free plasma table, there isn't a better way to get these parts cut.
Lt as precise as you are i figured you would hook the problematic mustang up to a diagnostic tool to see what its actually doing vs hit-n -miss which isn't your style at all!
I actually did hook up my scan tool to the Mustang, but the misfire monitoring software inside these early ford computers is kinda primitive and it doesn't pick up on the misfire thats going on, so I am kind of in the dark in terms of what the computer is doing... but yes, normally I'd be a little more precise with the diagnostic process
a question with the stabilizer bar and the shocks I have a 2005 chevrolet silverado 1500 2wd and I have used many brands of shocks moonre, KYB and it does not feel good when driving, what number of models are your shocks I see that they are a bilstein brand could you say the model that you use in front and back, on the bar, why did you change it and it looks thinner than the original, how much does it vary? Tks for you help
I really think this build is definitely way above ugly truck I really think u should just build this truck from scratch like you’re already doing I think it would make a bigger statement.
@@LawrenceTolman how did you get here so fast😂 now that I have you all to my self. I wanna tell you how awesome your channel is. You don’t see a lot of channels doing truck builds like yours. Love it man and I can’t wait to be here when you blow up.
FreeCad is your friend. There are plenty of tutorials on YT that will walk you through it. I’ve designed and 3d printed a couple things (RC rock crawler stuff). It’s pretty nice seeing something that was in you head come to reality.
I am a professional CAD monkey. Dude anything but sketchup! This was painful to watch. I could have drawn and made burn files for those parts in 45 minutes. There are charts online for what clearance holes should be for fasteners. Just send them a 1/2 inch hole if you want a 1/2 inch hole, don't try to out smart them, the laser table is more accurate then you need.
I am gonna get a different software before too long. Any suggestions? And on the hole size thing, I made those undersized on the one bracket since I wasn’t too sure on the measurements I took, so that would allow me to drill through to the exact size and position.
@@LawrenceTolman If I had to do this for free or cheap, I would use freecad then use libreCAD to make dwg/dxf, or I would use onshape which can do dwg/dxf. You are going to be into weldments and will require 3D modeling real soon. You are going to want to learn how to puzzle your engine mounts together with slots/tabs before you weld. This will save you from jigging and set up. Your fabrication abilities will push you far past 2D, that's what happened to me.
Send cut send. I’m loving this lesson. 2023 here we come. 🎉

Leave the initials bro! Artist signature. Keep up the great work LT
YES Fusion 360 and 3D printing is what my brother used and continues to use for designing parts for my Turbo GMC Sierra truck.
There's also Oshcut in Orem, Utah. Much the same premiss as Send Cut Send. They also do plasma and waterjet.
I’ll have to check em out, that’s right down the road from me
Give OnShape a try. You will thank me. There are some major limitations with sketch up since it’s not a parametric modeling program. It will also feel much more like what you used back in school.
Also a 3D Pinter, if you get a Prusa MK3S+ it will just work for about $800.

Can’t wait to see the finished parts, LT! Keep up the awesome work!
Just a tip, you can get autodesk fusion 360 for free. It has more than enough features for hobby use if you find your current software has limitations
Sketch up is such a nightmare to draw with. Great job!
Tip
Most of the newer cad drawing programs can import pictures from a camera or scanner.
So you can simply take a photo of what you need to draw import it to the program then use it as a guide to trace the cut lines etc.

About the ignition coils, you can buy one and switch out one coil at a time until the misfire is fixed.
thats not a bad idea... great way to eliminate the offending coil

Carl Fisher from Make It Custom has several good videos from a non technical guy on using CAD. He does a lot of 2D brackets that he cuts and bends.
Once you go laser cut and bend, you never go back! Enjoy the new tech!
I'm shocked no one has mentioned the Arcdroid! I think you could make that work in your space when you need to make those cuts and can get instant results, assuming you have the material, lol.
Pretty cool
I see the Cleetus shirt. Someone was trying to win that f150 as well lol
You know it!
Can’t wait to see the turnaround time & quality of SCS 💪
Their cut quality is excellent and turn around time very reasonable. They also provide you with a link to track your order within their facility. Just make sure you understand their material selections.
I have had two C5500 Topkicks with duramax engines. I had nothing but problems with aftermarket filters. Especially fuel filters. Put a wix fuel filter on, truck wouldn't start. Went and got a gm filter, fired up no issues. Aftermarket axles seals leaked. GM ones didn't.

It was like $180 for everything
I have been wanting to learn Sketchup.
Looked at scs. Couldn't find the upload link. Only pre-built shapes.
Leave the initials!
Torque plate/mid plate.
day 3 of commenting "rcsb awd LBZ build" until it happens 🤘
Believe it or not, that’s at the top of my wish list for a next project.
@@LawrenceTolman does that have anything to do with me commenting about it relentlessly on the last several vids? 😂
So... I take it you AREN'T going to do the 134" short-wheelbase mod?
I like the wheelbase and look of the truck how it already is
@@LawrenceTolman Fair enough! Thanks for the answer this time.
what software and hardware do you use for tuning and changing parameters?
will you be doing the cage work or send it somewhere?
I found a pre-bent kit from S&W race cars I'm gonna buy, my buddy Brent also used one, it actually will fit pretty good and is 8.50 spec'd
@@LawrenceTolman nice ill be looking for that video.
From "CAD" to "CAD"
Hey LT, you doing okay? You're looking really tired and worn out in the start of the video.
I really think this build is definitely way above ugly truck I really think u should just build this truck from scratch like you’re already doing I think it would make a bigger statement.
First
you are!
@@LawrenceTolman how did you get here so fast😂 now that I have you all to my self. I wanna tell you how awesome your channel is. You don’t see a lot of channels doing truck builds like yours. Love it man and I can’t wait to be here when you blow up.
FreeCad is your friend. There are plenty of tutorials on YT that will walk you through it. I’ve designed and 3d printed a couple things (RC rock crawler stuff). It’s pretty nice seeing something that was in you head come to reality.
I am a professional CAD monkey. Dude anything but sketchup! This was painful to watch. I could have drawn and made burn files for those parts in 45 minutes. There are charts online for what clearance holes should be for fasteners. Just send them a 1/2 inch hole if you want a 1/2 inch hole, don't try to out smart them, the laser table is more accurate then you need.
I am gonna get a different software before too long. Any suggestions? And on the hole size thing, I made those undersized on the one bracket since I wasn’t too sure on the measurements I took, so that would allow me to drill through to the exact size and position.
@@LawrenceTolman If I had to do this for free or cheap, I would use freecad then use libreCAD to make dwg/dxf, or I would use onshape which can do dwg/dxf. You are going to be into weldments and will require 3D modeling real soon. You are going to want to learn how to puzzle your engine mounts together with slots/tabs before you weld. This will save you from jigging and set up. Your fabrication abilities will push you far past 2D, that's what happened to me.
