  • Like any good structure, a solid foundation is a pivotal component. Fabricated sheet metal rear end housings have been commonplace in the world of motorsports for decades. There are dozens of companies that churn out cheap housing blanks as a foundation for builders to construct their own housing, but the results are always limited by the initial construction, or lack thereof.
    Tim McAmis and company have been producing premium housing blanks based off the Ford 9” platform for over 30 years. Over the decades, the process has been refined over and over. The result is a solid foundation for building a custom sheet metal housing. Strength, ease of construction, usability and overall engineering allow almost anyone to produce a quality housing with basic skills and tooling.
    This video goes in depth on blank housings, how they are made, the benefits in using one and much more!

    I hope you read some of the comments posted here. When I was about 65 I went back to vo tec to get my certificate as a welder. I thought, there is no way I wanted to retire & had always dreamed of becoming a welder. When I was doing the TIG part of the course I would get half way thru the aluminum, perfect stacked dimes. I got so excited I was on the right track I screwed up the rest of the welding. At the end no one would hire an apprentice at that age. That was 10 years ago.
    At the 1:57 mark the stacked dimes are a work of art! I know it would not be selling your product but please feature a few of your welders in action. Please tell them for me I hope they read this comment, darn!, they are good! What craftsmanship!

    We used to do those as a student project at Wyotech. I've overseen building hundreds of them. We even figured out geometry to make a round rear face and bells.
    It's not as easy as you make it look!

    Do you relieve the 4130 after welding it? Not sure it matters, or whatever, just curious about the manufacturing process.

    • @Timmcamis
      @Timmcamis  Před 11 měsíci

      We keep everything fixtured with an alignment tube as well. When doing a custom/complete fabricated housing, we also machine and resurface the faceplate after everything is welded.

      @nobodynoone2500 Před 11 měsíci +1

      Can't take shit for granted, gotta check all your clearances and tolerances when ya get it. "New" just means it's never worked before. Stay safe, go fast brother.

      That sucks, but not unheard of. This is why when doing a custom/complete fabricated housing, we re-machine and resurface the faceplate after everything is welded.

    Tim, My firewall /AV won't let me go to your website - it is flagged as containing dangerous or potentially unwanted content. You're on a list of these websites apparently. Have you been hacked? better check things out!

      Sounds like an issue with youir firewall, not his website. Just checked it is "Google Safebrowsing" certified.
      Edit: I should add sites get added by mistake all the time. Let everyone know the firewall provider, and also notify them of the error.
