Digging the river details and love that you wrapped the rails around the front
That’s some nice welding work, MIG and TIG.
Very nice work Jordan ! A small handful of rivets make a huge impact . 👊🏻
Thanks Mike. I have a few ideas for more of them to make it all uniform
What a fantastic idea to use those rivets, they are really setting off the frame and like you said gives it a factory or old look.
Exactly! I’ve had them for ages so it’s nice to find them a home finally
The radiator in the background on the wall 🤌 I love it 😂 👌
Hahaha it’s a favourite that’s forsure
Thanks to make it custom for sharing this channel, I especially like that you don't have a plasma cutting table, so it grinder all the way ... same as me , anyways very very tidy workmanship 👏🙌👌
It’s on the bucket list, but for now it’s wafer blades! Haha
Nicely done! Great channel Karl from make it Kustom sent me your way. I so enjoying this build. Use a grinder alot. I like! Lol. That DA pad you have on the grinder. I never seen one before! You have a part number for it. Thanks. Keep those videos rolling.
Thanks man! Means a lot! I’ll have a look if there’s a part number on the pad, it’s a good setup, spins fast so the sanding discs don’t last ages but does a quick job.
Very nice work and attention to detail, while using only a few basic tools.
Devils in the details.great looking frame...Steve and Helene and Fred the dog.
Looks fantastic. Can't wait till part two to come on. Karl from " Make it Costom" did say you were great at fabrication. I agree. Take care and be safe.
Thanks Fred! Part two isn’t far away!
28:52 put safety glasses🕶🕶 on and put his ear protection on😂😂😂😂
Hahahah was waiting for someone to pick it up
Sensational! Extremely dedicated to details. The dummy rivets kkk were excellent! Congratulations!!!
Some of my favorite fabrication channels are commenting and this is one of the coolest builds I’ve seen in a long time, you’ve earned my sub.
Thanks very much. Means a lot!
Great tutorial on a frame build. Your attention to detail is is superb.
Rick
Thanks Rick! More to come
Great design and super craftsmanship! Looking forward to more.
Thanks Gary
Looking back at some older vids thanks !!
So happy to finally being able to watch this great build. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making. God bless.
Its a pleasure to see something, where there is so few things you want to do differently!
Super nice work!
Very pretty and stylish.
I would have went for a more simple Tardel style drop, because I’m no artist, just a worker.
Because that is pure art!
Thank you kindly my man! Means alot
I see that you and Karl have the same problem 😂🤣 what craftsmanship 🥰 beautiful 🤩
Same breed hahaha
I am so happy I found you through Karl from Japhands. As a builder myself I learn so much from all the builders on here.
Well I hope there’s lots more to learn through out this build and into more future builds
Love the rivet finish.
Adds that classic historic look.
Thanks to Karl @Make It Kustom for passing on the link to another Canadian builder who has seen the light and moved to Aus. Pity you're in WA as I am in Victoria and would love to see you work live.
Cheers Michael! We might see you over there year for a few shows!
Cool working mate
Awesome job, great video, thanks for sharing 👍
That's some really nice work 👍
Cheers Mac
Classy chassis. Just found your channel. Good content. Thanks, from Coquitlam, B.C., Canada. Peace
Thanks for joining the channel! Local as well ( from home )
Beautiful fab work. Excellent explanations. Can't wait for more. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks man! More to come!
good music mate well done
When you started using the rivets I thought, well ok? But once I saw the finished frame with the other riveting done. GREAT IDEA! 👍 looks great. Plus I liked the squared off sanding pad mod. I like it when I actually learn something new like that. Keep up the good work.
Yeah I thought they would add a nice touch once painted, hopefully through out this build there’s several tips and tricks I can share!
I dig it!!
I really enjoyed watching your video 👍👍👍👍👍
loved the rivet touch on the plates.... lots of attention to detail on the chassis, cant wait to see the body take shape. I think it might turn out to be the flashest racer at Perko and the Flatty looks cool with early speed parts Cheers
There’s some pretty amazing cars being built for it but fingers crossed this can get a few laps under the belt without issues! The shinny paint might make it go faster
nice looking chassis and a great trick with the rollock
Thanks mate!
Fantastic! Love your Cad-work 😜👌🏼Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Much cheaper than the real deal! Haha
@@bennettscustomsco And probably faster!?
Love the rivet details.
Nice!!!! Looking forward to the next one.
Nice work on the frame, some really classy work. Ive just come over from Karl's site after watching you 2 doing some panel work. Im from South Oz and plan on being at the Red Dust Revival.
Well Be sure to pop over to our camp site and say gday!
I Like the retro look of the sheet metal work. You did a good job the rivets make it look authentic good Job Jordan. I'm a Canadian as well. Got suggested by Karl from Make it Kustom to check out your channel, all thanks to Karl.
Love it!
Looking good. I did not know that I need a single seat racer too. :D
Everyone needs a single seater speedster!
Nice job brother! 😊
So dope mate.
As someone who wishes that he did a trade instead of going to university, I am following along closely in the hopes that my welding will one day be good enough to fabricate my own stuff as well as you do.
Inspiring to say the least.
Lots practice, fail, success, blood, sweat, tears, and much more! Start sooner than later!
Awesome work, haha and i LOVE the model A grillshell on the wall 😊
Daisy’s!
Great job. I'd say you sound like a transplant. I'm from Canada but spent a lot of time in South Austrilia when I was younger. I never picked up much of an accent either.
Yeah it’s definitely weird, I didn’t think it was possible, 8 years. My friends in aus say I sound Canadian, my Canadians think I sound Aussie. Must be a perfect blend hahah
Really nice work just found your channel from make it custom can’t wait to see the next one Jeff from England
Thanks for tuning in Jeff!
I really appreciate the metric to imperial conversions when describing sizes! I work with metric measurements everyday, but my brain is just hardwired for imperial and I cannot visualize anything in metric, it all has to be converted before I can picture it in my head
rollling quaters mate!
also s/o to the Bons shirt! its famous!
if you want to blend your longer welds quicker check our 3m cubitron sanding disc's they cut the weld real quick bit pricey but work real well .
Awesome I’ll have a look
Nice job👍🏼✌🏻
Really nice work, I like that you used angle grinder and not plasma table. Try cubitron 2 fibre disc for grinding/dressing it's awesome. Waiting for the next part!
Dude awesome work 🤘🏽🔥 and great video, keep ‘em coming !! Loving this build !!
Cheers Alex! Part two is not far off
Tidy work 😎😎
That’s a unique radiator shroud hanging with the signs on the wall
Hahah you’re a small number of those who actually notice it. Made with millions on small daisy flowers. It lights up too!
Really nice details
Thanks Warren
your on the HAMB
You bet
Really liked the video. One thing I would suggest is to keep an eye on your audio levels. The voice parts where pretty low and the music was very loud. I kept having to turn up and down the volume
Thanks for letting us know, will try and make sure it’s level across the board, all the best!
The Rivets are cool, hope you use them on the Body Work as well.
You bet. More to come really soon
Liked & subscribed looks like an interesting build.
👌SWEET👍👍
Interesting project. Outstanding fabrication and attention to detail.
One video editing thing though. It is annoying to turn up the volume for the talking bits, and then turn it down for the music. Try music 15db below the talking.
Definitely will look into that
Nice... i was thinking what to do with the running A chassis i have, want the frame for another project so i have all the running gear. hmmmm
Come on let’s see some ideas!
I noticed you're using 150RHS - are you applying the COP for rego, too?
As organisers of the Red Dust Revival we do not want people to think that this is the type of chassis for Perkolilli cars. It is important to note that this car is not eligible for the Lake Perkolilli Red Dust Revival 2022 in its present form, and it will not gain an entry unless it is modified to comply. The Red Dust Revival is for cars from 1914 to 1939 built with original chassis components. Cars with modern chassis fabricated from RHS are not eligible. The event is designed to capture the spirit of pre-war motor racing on the dry claypan. The organisers of the Lake Perkolilli event have contacted Jordan and he has committed to building a car which is more suitable for the reenactment event. People all over Australia have been building cars to take to Perko which are helping create the atmosphere of early motor racing and we applaud them.
Nail on the head, and absolutely correct- we have began to change and modify this to follow the guidelines you have for the race. I new video circling this is coming out for any viewers concerned about the guide lines. See you all at Perko!
@@bennettscustomsco Thanks Jordan. We're really keen to see you with a pre-war style car. There have been some comments that the Red Dust Revival has made the rules too restrictive but nothing much has changed from the last event - cars made from pre-war components built as they raced between 1914 and 1939. It's not about who is fastest, more about having fun.
Rounded inside or outside corner is a fillet
legit again
G day one question how's the the SWS plasma ?
I have just bought the alumatig Tig welder it goes ok but I do need a new plasma I was thinking about one but I am not sold in the alumatig just yet
And one tip if I need to blend in a non critical braze like around the rear spring purch I silver solder or flame braze that in as you can get the solder or braze to wet in to a nice fillet without needing much sanding or profiling to blend it in
I have the alumatig 200 as well, I really enjoy it and really simple to use? There some thing you don’t quite like yet?
As far as the plasma goes I’ve heard great things about their one but I had already owned a unimig 45. Consumables are expensive but it works great!
@@bennettscustomsco
right sorry I must have seen the Tig in the background while you were plasma cutting and i got confused my bad
My Tig has been ok it has a cooling fan issue when it gets hot it throttles up and down just off idol I am a bit concerned about giving it a full run at a job just incase I cook it
I know it's under warranty but I still take care of my tools other than that it welds nice
Where did you get that belt sander attachment for your grinder? That thing is great.
Using it to finish edges works fantastic, I got it from one of the local tool shops but they are very common as an attachment for a bench grinder setup
@@bennettscustomsco I'll have to keep my eye out for one
Had to laugh at you explaining the conversion from metric to imperial, I'm 70yr old who worked with both, I still have to convert metric for my wife , I would suggest that you try and continue to state both measurements, especially for your " dinosaur " viewers from where you came from, plus those south of your border 😆😆😆 I should pass that suggestion on to Karl Fisher.
A lot of y/t channels forget that they have international viewers.
My only complaint is ( I may be deaf ) but turn down the volume on the music.
I will definitely be interested in watching is build👍👍👍👍👍👍
Follower of both channels have to agree on the music being overpowering during the overview and conversion issues u mentioned 👍👍👍
@@JustinPaul1st --- ??? what do you mean, follower of both channels??? I would have thought that Mr Bennett would control the volume, if other channels can control the volume, then why can't he.
@@markgriffin4888 i follow here and Make It Kustom...Karl Fischer..
Thanks for the feed back Mark, wi be sure to suss out the volume levels moving forward. All the best.
Yes the music is way to loud, especially with Headphones.
Great videos. Volume mixing needs some adjustments in my opinion. Can barely hear you speak and the music wakes the neighbors.
