Big difference between a driver that just drives and a driver that knows what hes driving. This is why this team wins so much.
Purpose built tools = speed & consistency.
Something all important on the track as well as in the pits.
Watching you do what you do, and seeing you enjoying doing it, speaks volumes.
Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
Thanks for the videos Stevie!
Stay safe , stay well, stay you!
C15 Cat head bolts are torqued to 330 ftlbs. You have to hit them twice. I usually go a third time if it sits for a while. They will definitely wear you out!
Thank you for taking this down time in racing and using it as a reason to make informative videos on in depth tech and tricks. This is what I need more of. While swanstrom is making real world / road rules videos of his family and going mattress shopping, you are making videos showing us how this stuff works! Please keep making in depth tech videos for us racers that have a desire to learn more about things that we can’t afford yet.
Good video Stevie!! Thanks for sharing!!
Loved your videos and great idea for making deep sockets
Steve thanks for keeping the videos rolling brother 🏁💪💪💪💪. Hopefully the crew and yourself are staying healthy.
Nice to see you using a little bit of machinery. I’ve worked most my life in our family owned machine shop. So seeing a milling machine and a lathe in the shop was cool.
My kids are into racing karts and drag minibikes right now. Speaking of putting heads on, I put a few dollars in chasing the exact cordless impact I needed so it would torque itself 🤣🤣 now in between classes I can swap head gasket sizes and swap heads etc in no time. 💪💪💪
Good advise. We always said failure to plan is planning to fail.
Like everything in life its about the R & D that's put into it situation.
"I'm gonna show y'all how to ruin bandsaw blades"... Take it from someone who has been cutting and welding hand tools into custom crap for 40 years: Never ever cut hardened steel (like a hex socket) with anything but an abrasive wheel (chopsaw) if you can help it. A 14" chopsaw and a belt sander would've knocked that whole job out in about 20 seconds. Other than that, good job on the tool Stevie, fantastic idea.
Ya he's not so good in that area
Efficiency is the key to winning
As I am not equipped with port a band or power hack YET, I tend to cut a lot of stuff with cutoff wheel, especially something hard like that socket. You and your guys rock
It is why you are number 1. You been around that lay a lot
Stevie i agree with you on the planning part. Nothing can run your race day quicker than leaving certain tools at the shop or in the wrong tray lol
Hell yeah! Run with a nostalgia nitro team, can put a couple pistons in 30 minutes with 3 guys! Specialty tools make any job easy!
gota say stevie dam sure miss the sound of ur fire breathin dragon on these vids,thanku fer ur time hope u and urs r safe from this bug.peace
I have been a machinist for the last 25 years and I use my lathes in the exact same way you do FAST!!! Got to be the Rednenk in us I'm guessing. Hope to get to see you back at it soon!!
now that's a DEEP socket.....A+
Great info. Thanks to the peoples champ!
As my Grandfather always told me: If you're prepared for the worst, only the best will happen!! 💪
always enjoy these videos ,i am a close friend\customer of justin bond hope to meet you one day stevie
Very nice !🔧🔩🛠🪚🚀
Gotta love this dude...
GAPP. Can’t wait till racing is back.
I'm the same !I have a shop full of tools I have put together for different jobs!
This ought to be called "Fixin' Stuff by Stevie Fast"
Now you need a partner just for comedy relief....
Quality content
Lol @the grabbing the pipe bare handed after welding it.."stud" lolol
Inner tie rod end tube tool. Cut the end off weld your socket for the rear tires.
You weld like old people you know do it…. Just kidding good video. Keep them coming
Thanks
An engine swap video would be awesome, just like at the track!
If your definitely not a welder your Definitely getting a grinder for Christmas
buy yourself an FMB bandsaw and smile every time you make a cut. Also, if you're cutting a register in it to fit in the tube the cut really doesn't matter unless it's so far out of whack you can't get the register you want.
On real hard materal I perfer to use a Metabo and a cut off wheel. If you want the part fairly straight and i do just use mark the part or materal with what ever you can see ..i dont use my port a band much any more because of my Metabo. I enjoy your videos thanks
Buy a cut off tool for your leigh stop tearing up blades. Just a thought.YOUR THE MAN AT RACING
Stevie Fast, which racecar or car was the toughest for you to work on in all your years of racing?
What in the hell ? Chuck that thing up in the lathe and part it off . Come on Stevie
Casey Knowles I was thinking the same thing. Man it wouldn’t take nothing to use a parting off bit on the lathe.
Exactly why I came to the comments! Whaaaat?
If you had a windshield wiper motor attached to a rubber wheel rubbing against the chuck geared slow. Could you put the lathe in neutral and turn an object slow enough to weld it in the lathe?
Im glad there's plenty of naive young people out there, you can blow your RECORD
With that length on tubing do you notice any twisting or flex while torquing? May wanna do a stud with the new socket and recheck it using a extinction and socket to see if it effects the torque at all
What are your guys main caps torque to? With that Chrome Molly tubing it’s thick enough that it won’t flex.
Hey Steve can you show us how you service your diffs.
Can you do a video on weight placement for RVW,obviously with out giving any secrets away,but how much does weight placement effect the car/launch/60foot/mph/flying/planting the tyre and so on thanks 👍
Is the socket gonna be longer on the side where the mags are?
It must be required when you own a Milwaukee porta band that the cover is off for quick blade changes. I don't know if I still have mine. Thanks for the Tool-Time segments. Sincerely Jeff from Western Pennsylvania
Hopefully this pandemic runs off when it heats your throttle wacks. See you guys at Norwalk in a few months hopefully
Can Keith Haney get the rear bumper at SGMP
I don't know if your saw is capable, but if it is you need to move the band roller guides as close to the work piece as possible.
Also if you can tell me , what roller lifters do you use and also rockers?
Who's Danny? Is he better at running that bandsaw then you, Mr Fast? lol. Stay safe and keep uploading videos. Thanks
Are all your motor hemi based stuff
I've NEVER seen anyone tig weld without gloves.
Machinists are cringing all over the planet, but Steve, I like the way you get shit done and make it work!
Why isn't Danny allowed to touch the horizontal band saw?
Buy a Lenox diemaster blade and slow the speed down and that saw will work great. Even on a hard ass socket
I have 2 different Green-Lee Porta Band Saws and They are Used Daily but Make Sure to Stay Out of Brass and Copper That's A 1/4 inch Thick Or Thicker LOL
Still had to use one hand to stabilize socket.🤔
You da man Stevie!!! And keep turning those Radial Versus The World cars into Pro275 cars..........LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I also have OCD on all things mechanical. It has its ups and down. Anyways. VaCHina is A sshoe
I'm thinking you could have used the crooked socket anyway .... the crooked part would be inside the tubing .... who would know !
1.400 chro-mo tubing to extend a head bolt socket? Just out of curiosity. What size are the nuts that go on the head bolts? 3/4”?
Patrick Huszarik I think 5/8
And they are all SAE 12 point
You did not show the welds sir
That’s what you call a tuque toque tube
Was that coconut slime , you said?
Good thing you can drive I'm surprised your sponsors let you operate anything in that shop haha just kidding cuz you sure can cut a light
The race is won or lost in the shop
Facts
you have the blade guides to far apart!
I probably would have cut the socket with a chop saw
Why can't Danny touch the bandsaw
Ok so I just have one question when are you going to pat the gas on szabo lmao
Yeah, because of this “virus scare” lexan and plexiglass is hard to come by.
Sanded the weld, now it won't certify lol.
Is that 3 thumbs down from fellow RvW or Promod teams?
I wonder if the guy that comes by the shop and sells you tools has a bigger house than you do lol you know your spending too much on tools when he does !!!
Haha Let’er Rip Tata Chip!!! #KTR #BLOWERCARSTTF #RECORDSOVERHERE #5FINGERDIS
Not a welder, just some old fashioned problem solvin!
That's what happens when you force the blade.
Unless you are a turbo racer... Lol 😂
You’re funnier than shit!!!!
Put your blade guides closer to item being sawed,,,Or Buy yourself a better metal band saw
Dress for the crash...... Not the ride.....
Why are you giving away a great invention? You know a hundred different company's are filing for a patent on your hard work and idea. #Sadbuttrue
