- In this episode I am showing how to design for the fuel cell mounting system and the rear clip in a safe way that is light but strong and then also showing the fabrication of that design. This is the 10th build episode showing how to build a metric frame based Crate Racing USA Street Stock Race Car.

Your gonna have people lined up wanting a chassis before it’s over. Lol. I kept looking for the notification for a video. I see why it took a little longer than the others you got a lot knocked out. Awesome work as usual buddy.
Hoping to get one out mid week this week. Looking like a short one just on the front springs and then a major one by Sunday on the upper mounts. That's the plan!
@@DIRTRACELIFE sounds awesome can’t wait !
Looking good Jason . 👍
Thank you Sir
Looking forward to the next video looks great
I'm wide open here Matt, we're on a deadline 😀
@@DIRTRACELIFE I feel the pain I’m currently pulling the motor out of mine as we speak fount a burnt or bent valve with 30 days until season opener it’s a never ending battle good luck and I’m excited to see how well this car will do for you
Looking Good Jason. Amazing work! I really like the 2 independent structures. Makes sense for sure. SEE YA IN AUGUST!
Thank you Patrick, plan this year is for me to run the coil car and if we have Rachel at 100% confidence, she is going to run the leafer.
Good video and explanation of your choices, thank you Jason
Yes sir thank you
Good work Sir.
Thank you, appreciate the feedback sir.
Looking awesome!
Thank you sir
Nice work - always enjoy your videos!
Thank you sir
lookin good. great design
Thank you Dustin, I think it's going to do well.
It's looking Awesome J!
Thank you sir
Looking really good doing a excellent job
Thank you, sure tryin :)
Looking good Jason.
Thank you sir
Looks killer man!! I love that you think outside of the box!! Keep digging man!!
Thanks Chris, just trying to create something that delivers on what's important instead of copying somebody else and assuming that's the only way.
That is looking awesome buddy I really like how you did the the rear half it is just coming together looking forward to your next video but you have a good one and take care
Thanks Rick, I'm tired of digging around in the trunk so we are headed up front for the next video and man o man I am loving how the design is shaping up for those front bay bars!
Looking good
Thank you sir
Been waiting all day. Thought you forgot about ya boy man 😂💪🏼. Another awesome video.
Yeah, It was a long video with about 5 hours of footage I had to edit through to get down to just one watchable episode. Still ended up over my 30 minute mark but that was as lean as I could get it :)
Looking good....
Appreciate that
Great ideas, 💡!
You never really know till you put it to the test. But knowin me it will get tested this season . . . .
Valid point! But from what I've seen and done building these cars, I really like your theory!
Liking the 2 sectioned rear area. Just wondering if maybe you could have made the fuel cell be able to slide left or right, for weight distribution. Good thing is, you have plenty of bar to mount weight to, to compensate. Great build so far.
That's one of those things where I just do not agree with A LOT of racers. Most races I will run will be 8 to 12 lap qualifiers and 20 lap features where there is very little noticeable change in fuel burn off weight. If I offset the tank and then learn the car based on that having an expectation of how it is going to act with that offset position, I will be unprepared for the car having a noticeable shift in left side percentage during a 50 or 60 lap major show. I believe in a street stock under these conditions it is best to keep that potential shift to an absolute minimum.
I don't think it's wrong to offset a tank, I just think it will mess me up to normally never feel a change because of it and then suddenly in the one big show I am in find that the car starts acting very different by lap 50. . . .
Coming together nicely what do you think of doing the rear bars similar to the front bay bars I like that look
I am prepping for those in the next video. Nothing like these rears but I got plans and they are going to be awesome ;)
Just wondering if the weight per linear foot of docol is the same as HREW? Some builders use seamed tubing as a crumple zone.
It is the same weight for the same size/thickness. It is WAY stronger than HREW and honestly considering how stiff this stuff is I am kind of agreeing with you but what I would like to do is maybe have docol 0.065" wall in stock that way I can reduce weight while getting the strength level I want. Seems like perhaps a good compromise.
What do you think about running a stick from the main hoop back to the four-way behind the fuel cell on both sides?
it would sure make it look a lot more uniform. but I am thinking maybe it defeats the purpose of it being collapsible.
Any holes you have to drill I would drill before paint or powder coat to keep your rust at a minimum ? Just a thought.
Thinking about powdercoating but timeline may not allow it
Where will you be mounting the battery box? I personally like to mount mine in front of the cell and to the left. Some like to hang it in the corner. Or centered.
I have a spot picked out but am waiting to be a bit further along before committing to the location. I always mount mine on the right side to avoid too much left percentage
If Ford would've done that on the pinto they would still be making them today
Ford definitely had an issue, thats for sure.
How long is that rear hoop where bumper will go from crossmember for trailing arms? Looks way long on video. Just making sure your body is gonna work out right.
It's exactly flush out to where the body will be which is 48 inches from the center of the rear axle. This dimension is a fixed point that CRUSA limits by rules where we are not allowed to make it any longer.
I think I would have doubled the back hoop one on top and one on bottom
It's a choice each builder has to make.
Either make it more rigid to be less likely to get bent but transfer more of that energy to the chassis and driver or To make the chassis have intentional fail points to absorb the energy protecting the driver and critical chassis points from those extreme hits. Some go one way some go the other. Me, I am in the second group on this.
