a caroliner frame rack designer took 10 years to achieve this same design an you took a few days to take over his prime idea and even mastered it...!! genius indeed.!!!! hopefully it wont become a nightmare finding a spot for it when not in use.

I can't wait for the pulling vid. Excellent work for having to do everything outside. Those Harbor Freight welders are a game changer! These new ones are not junk. Thanks for the time you put into filming.

Nice work- thanks for sharing. If anyone plan to build one of these - consider making the rack lighter by welding material to the tower to fit the rack dimension instead of expanding the rack to fit the tower dimension.

My men ! That’s stronger than original! Will last forever! Now boys let take some tool and do your own body frame! Good luck to everyone!

Outstanding job man. You can really handle that plazma cutter and your welding is great too. Its just a well built piece of equipment and I think it will do the job you built it for.

Great job man. I considered welding up a simple setup for vector pulling for a long time, but I eventually tripped across a used Dataliner 80, and saved myself the time doing it. I'll probably still fab up some universal jig fixtures for times when sill clamps won't work. In any case, I'm thrilled to finally see someone put a DIY video up for this kind of thing. I think that rig will serve you well.

Dear sir, if you are afraid that it will bend, you must rest assured, before that it will bend the vehicle you are repairing will break. Rest assured that it is very well done. A big greeting from Buenos Aires.

That's awesome. Real mans work in a Real world environment. Not a $200.000 shop with massive fabrication tables. Out in the slushy shitty cold and damp, in the laneway. Snow on the bloody ground and you're out in it making things happen. Good on you bud. No doubt just trying to make a few extra $ for you and your family. Good job lad,and best of luck and success to you.

Brilliant use of the plasma cutter! Really made it look a million dollars 👍 Thanks for sharing 😎😎

I think that your frame pulling stuff will be just as strong or even stronger than a factory made one. You did such a great job on this! Absolutely incredible! The workmanship is of the highest quality. You really have alot of talent. Well done!

Former body man , for the cars that you will be pulling that rack will hold together no problem . I would recommend that you put a pressure gauge in the hydraulic line so you can see what the load is . Like your rocker clamps, great idea . I commend your fabrication work . When I was doing it I had a parameter track buried in the floor .

Really entertaining to watch. I wish my kids would watch this type of stuff than rather than useless video's that don't teach them how stuff works. I'm also fascinated by the tools used.

I will never be able to build that myself, but man that was entertaining watching you build it. Very talented sir!

Great Job, you’re skilled man, working on the floor.

I was using a mk5 caroliner body jig on an insurance production line at the age of 17, fantastic bit of kit!

Omg this looks amazing bud, collision tech here, you just saved your self over 15k$ easy. I want one now. 😩

Woow, Excelent, I need 1 to my Body Shop, congratulations buen amigo.

I have used a Car O Liner frame rack in the past and it’s a good set up, as long as your welds will hold you should be in good shape. 👍

great job! respect from republic of Georgia🇬🇪🇬🇪. i think you should continue filming vidios on youtube. your videos are helpfull to learn how to fix cars!👍👍👍

Really helpful , I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks all the way from South Africa

It turned out very nice, looks like a professional frame machine. It’ll work very well on unibody cars and suv’s, frame work will be dependent on the capacity of the ram but I think the frame work that you made will hold up no problem!

i'm impressed. well done. it looks beefy. i don't think it's gonna break...

Your welding technique is second to none. Rack looks GREAT 👍

A big greeting, gentleman, and a thousand congratulations on your good work. I think your idea has been good and with patience, effort and detail you have achieved a very efficient tool. An artisan work of the few that exist today. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Very impressive. Youve got some mad skills Sir !

That was amazing man! Wow I've been looking into a frame machine for a while but even the smallest bought setup is pretty pricy, and this hadn't even crossed my mind. After watching this im pretty stoked. My motivation is out the roof rightnow. Those plates you welded on the sides should be enough reinforcement and if i remember right welds should stand 60k psi or so you should be good man.

Oh My Goodness.. Never could I imagine building my own frame machine I love m car-o liner but what an amazing job this turned out to be!

Even if it has some unforeseen problems you will quickly rebound from it and solve the problem that was an inspirational build I'm proud of you and your drive to get a machine like that even if you had to build it yourself great video

This will work great for a front or rear end wreck, but I think you should have welded the 1/2" plate to the boom instead of on the one end of the frame. That way it can be used on the sides as well. A and B pillars take hits and need to be pulled as well!! Otherwise, great job!!

Great Job Fix206 in fact so good I subscribe :>)

You built that right as rain,it's not going anywhere but where you want it to.good job!!

Great job man ..... lots of planning to go just off a picture of a auto body pulling rack.... admiring your engineering skills there!! I bet this saved you a good chunk of change!!! Thx for sharing it with us!!😊

It is stronger that a factory one , u need to put plates for side pulling also , if you need to pull a door pillar ...

Freaking awesome

Dude that is fantastic work. For some reason I was skeptical of a guy wearing sneakers welding in the snow but man your welds are great and the design looks perfect.

when i was in the Trade our Company bought one of these from CAR BENCH ,1972 they called it the Car Bench , it came with 3 or 4 different jigs for different makes and Models of cars, you could hire extra jigs for lining up chassis holes and securing cars in place to allow pulling on crumpled zones it also raised and lowered like a normal car ramp but left the wheel beds on the ground

Is it possible to purchase the plans from you??? I an in Western Australia. Cheers

Why not weld the 1/2“ plate into the tower? Doing that, the tower would fit everywhere on the frame!

Very good work sir. My congratulations on a piece of equipment that can help put people's cars back together. There's no way that thing is coming apart.

Mind blowing job man, that skills of welding, then lathe was masterclasss

I think that heavy frame needs V12 engine!

You did an awesome job on the whole thing! Those with the negative comments would never attempt or complete a task like this.

THE BEST TOOLS ARE ONES CREATED YOURSELF Nice build from thought process to final fabrication. I have used almost every bench out there from Autorobot, Celette, Blackhawk, MiTek, CarBench, Apple trees, lamp-posts, and my favorite Car-O-Liner, so I've worked with a few and have observed their varied constructions. Below are a few noted aspects that may help to assist others with a build like this and are not intended as criticism of this build or builder in any way. This bed is sound in design and construction and will serve its purpose amiably for years. Intended use and the constraints of the individual will vary and so too will the build. 1. Even though substantial steel stock is used, a central crossmember would be beneficial in combating distortion from a loaded pull which will improve measurement accuracy if intending to use the bed as the datum plane. 2. The side pull issue previously mentioned in the comments. Any of the suggested rectifications would of allowed a completely true bed, a must when using it as a datum plane or for reference station points. 3. Consider enlarging outrigger backing plates. If these are compared to other similar designs it will be seen production examples (even when employing the use of jam-bolts) use a larger mating surface area against the bed, working to react to pull loads by pivoting slightly when starting to slip thereby working as de-facto retainment wedge. 4. Bite teeth on outrigger clamps are overly vicious, almost appearing on screen to look as though it could pierce the metal or marr the surface. I would be inclined to use smaller spikes or use something like bench vice-jaws. 5. Outrigger bolts look like a pain in the datehole to access being back there but that could be due to my spoils of using the latest chassis machines. Easy access to all fixture fasteners is a godsend especially with a vehicle that is being awkward to mount due to an unforeseen problem and requires fixture relocation. My 10cents anyway. Worst chassis machine: CarBench Best chassis machine: Car-O-Liner (Quick42) (Interestingly Snap-On just recently purchased the Swedish company)

Amazing build i lov watching people make stuff i learned a lot with cutting straight lines and I'll watch all your content well done.justsayin!

Nice job for a homemade machine. NOT for precsion collision repair that is needed on late model vehicles but okay for older veicles with greater build tolerances. One thing I would change right away though is your jaws. Those jaws will rip holes in pinchwelds and the vehicle will slip and you will have to repair the rockers when you are done. Consider buying some jaws from a frame machine company. Keep in mind that "Energy Management Controls" on late model vehicles require precision measuring capabilities of less than 2mm and some late model vehicles to 1mm. Your homemade machine doesn't come close and air bag timing and other energy controls will be compromised. Stick with sheet metal repairs and you should be okay.

That's an impressive build.

Looks like it would work good on light pulls nicely done. The hard part looks like to me is getting it underneath your vehicle. That’s gonna be a friggin nightmare unless you drive a four-wheel-drive then you gotta lift it up to it. It’s still cheaper than the frame machine. I understand that.

Congratulations you have done amazing work .

this is a super mad build!!!! I Love it..i gotta build me one of those!! looks way better and more solid than the store bought ones..ya gotta do a vid with it in action!!

Wow! You built that? such a fantastic job you did! Well done!

Bravo, Dam Good Job, Best Fabrication Work Ive Ever Seen,

That is totally awesome great job nice frame straightener

I SEE THERE 326 PEOPLE don't like this. but as time goes by there be more. how can you not like this? this is better than what I built I built a dozer type. that type is my next one to build. this man did a very good job an layout it and the idea of it. he has been working at the auto body for a long time. I say to you 326 and more you build one and use it then come back and tell us about it. you 326 and more you just bunch lug nuts that loose you know what a loose lug nut good for nothing. your welding was good I have seen a lot on youtube as a welder, i started in 1966 i know ...

I 'm Martin from Benin Republic,guy cheer up,it's fantastic

Wow so beautiful job professionally saving a lot of money good luck keep making these videos

Good job. A lot of hard work thou, amazing reasults.

I find myself working with metal more often. This was an inspiration, i am going to purchase a plasma cutter and mig welder

Legend! Great job. Professionally done.

When spraying large projects with aerosol cans it can get expensive sometimes costing more than the project itself for cans of paint, I'd love a frame straightening machine but have no space for storage good job 👍

Great job. Can't wait to see you testing it.

Excellent job man, very professional.

Just subbed this was something i have been looking for on youtube!!! Keep the vids coming!

my thought is kick ass. dam good fabricator and welder.takes a lot of talent this man has it. i worked many different frame machines this i good for being made in the drive way. most good frame equipment you have to dam near make yourself. this man shows it.

Really nice frame machine! Great job!

Well I guess I just became number 468 subscriber I've been wanting to build my own frame machine for a while stumbled across your Channel seen your skill at fabrication and Welding I look forward to seeing you do actual Auto Body repair good luck and God bless

Liked this post well enough that I will share it with some other metal heads. I have never used one like that as the others were store bought junk that bent before frame give a bit..... I liked and subbed

классный стапель, знал что и в америке русские умельцы есть , золотые руки можно сказать , еше вы продемонстрировали ремонт кузова машины было бы вообще супер!!! молодец! я Россиянин город Шагонар Респ. Тува , хотелось иметь в своем гараже такой стапель как у вас !!!! СПАСИБО!!! Четирдим!

I build a frame pulling machine, including frame tower two years ago, it works amazing.

Great looking piece of work! Love the design and your workmanship is top drawer. Get your design on paper and sell the plans to other industrious people that don't have the room or the cash for a full size rack!

I think you did a dam fine job . I have made things like this before and they worked but yours is better built and will work fine.

love it ! can't wait for a real frame pull!

Great video mate, ive subscribed. Keep up the good work 👍🏽

It will hold! Nice work..

Really great job. Looks more than just capable of doing what it was built for. i would not mind trying to build something similar for the school where i am a trainer. AWESOME JOB man!

Good Job nicely done. Hi from Puerto Rico💪

Fantastic Build

I think it will pull sheet metal door posts shock towers but not old school classic car full frame cars trucks not enough power not ridget enough but fo unibody cars small pickup your fine very impressive congratulations nice workmanship.

I think it's perfect design could be incorporated in bigger units really economical build thanks for the video...👍👍

Very very good work my brother And u inspire me to do it

Very strong frame well done

Great job you made it look easy

Excellent, thank you for sharing.

super job guys ! keep up the good work .

You are a genius man , congratulations....

Amazing job sir I love it 😆👍

Nice job when I'm up and running I'm going to make one too

Great workmanship

Great, looks great. Thanks

I don't know what to say I mean I'm kind of speechless the only thing I can say is wow. Good job

Great job. It would be nice to have had one of those when I was working in auto body. It would also be nice to have two post for compound pulls. With your skills, you can make another pulling post.

Absolutely amazing....you got a new subscribers here:)

Sin palabra super excelente. Podria hacer miles, yo trabajo en enderezaro y pintura hacer esa herramienta es increible amigo y te quedo como de fabrica!!

Outstanding work.

Excellent job 👍

Отличная работа! У Вас руки золотые.

Excellent work

nice job with d frame!!! 👏👏👏

Really resourceful. Fantastic.

I think it will hold up, but just in case I would weld a cross section right across the center to aid in anti twist of the long sections, but u will know when u do a heavy pull, I think u did a really great job of designing, Great Video.

Great job!
