And I agree 100 percent on keeping a steering column that's free. I think on several racks that I broke was because of my weight on the steering wheel breaking the rack because of all the flexing these cars do and my steering shaft bottomed out and that broke the ears off of the rack and broke around the pinion on the rack as well. Good derby tech video 👍

Thanks I have 3 84s a Lincoln and 2 ltds 84 s I've ran a long time but these Fords are new to me I mostly run compacts and GM products I'm finding your video is very helpful thank you any Knowledge you could give me for pretty much a stock build we're not allowed to do much but whatever I can hide I'd like to do lol

[@jesses1097]

I've always ran my plates a arms forward on top of the frame. 03 and ^. I think it helps the rails from going sideways. I know it keeps them from bending in the crumple zone

[@kylekallies3381]

Interesting to see how someone thinks about frames but I mean most of the cars I have build were for stock classes and I never even took the body off the frame

Its come a long way from when I demo’d in the 80’s. It used to take me about 50 hours of prep for every car I ran. Maybe at tops get $800 to $1000 if you won. I couldn’t justify the time or money these days. I see what guys are spending on cradle’s, sliders, chassis prep, wheels and tires, and engines these days and it Just doesn’t pay to make it worth the effort. Bring back the chain door class.

@@danfarris135 about every one of these big derby’s that allow what you are talking about, have a “chain door” class to run..

Where was this derby seminar at and is it every year?

[@All4HimRacingVideos]

Was at the Smith Metal Works derby expo. Yes every year in early April in western PA. The location changes each year as it continues to grow, but info is posted at www.smithmetalworks.info/events

@@All4HimRacingVideos thanks for the information

If you do work on both frames it l be stronger any way esp thicker metal along the main frame rails it ain't gonna bend much
