The 2.75" ID / 3" OD aluminum pipe was the most satisfying fitment I've seen in a while

I can't tell if I love this project and your "get it done" attitude or if I'm scared for your life..... Either way, this is awesome!

As a mechanical designer/drafter, I like the slots and tabs. The welders in the shop like them too! Blinker fluid. HA!

I believe an upright is called an upright because it holds the wheel up, right?

Oh, now I'm glad I didn't actually win the Crack Lighter from that last video. I'm more of a meth man myself, and it turns out that that lighter wouldn't have worked for me.

From the standpoint of reading the manual first, and then following steps, I'm damn sure I'm watching the right channel...

I don't envy you having to do it all over again for the uplefts.

I love this kind of humour! always gets me hooked through the entire video!

"cause i like it simple" i laugh and cried at the same time. you are brilliant!

love your humour

Bro, you are inspiring me to design my own custom suspension for my VW bus

One more time, you sir are a hoot! You bring voice to my parallel foibles. I had a hub project recently that had a number of twists, resulting in tools hitting the ground at velocities 4or 5x what gravity was exerting. I was the critical bastard asking about the toothpaste looking welds before you tried to hide them. I welded my loose lug studs in place with the same toothpaste dispenser. You made my day. Do continue!

7:40 "Blinker fluid"! 😄

You sir are one Brilliantly Sarcastic SOB! Well done! #Impressive

I've got an engineering degree, but this is mind-boggling! A regular car manufacturer would have a team of 500 engineers working on this for a year before it was done. Bravo!

Your sincerety is encouraging to tackle problems and not stress about being perfectly efficient at it.

Again, most of it passed me by, but I chuckled all the way through it. Thanks Matt.

Always awesome and funny. You hide how really brilliant you are with easy humor and a 'see how it's so simple' attitude. Love it!

Brilliant. Always a joy to watch

Hmmm. Whenever I've wanted to lower a vehicle in the past I figured I had 2 choices, cut the springs and pretend the effed up camber curve, the 'orrible ride and bump-steer weren't that bad, or spend too much for some pretty dicey Chinesium cast iron drop spindles from a company more concerned w "Stance", or "Laying Frame". Not sure why it never occured to me to just fab something myself. An upright is definitly within the scope of my skills and tooling. THANKS MATT! You don't suck.

I'm never going to do this but the entertainment value you provide is priceless. Thanks.

You make me want to build cars again. Love the work you do.

Great job, You are a real designer, and a true craftsman ... machinist ... fabricator ... and assembler. There are very few people like you left in the industry. Very few, if any, of the viewers are thinking ..."oh yea, I've been meaning to start that project tomorrow" thanks for the reminder!! :)

The algorithm lead me to your channel, and it's fantastic. Your oversimplified explanations of complex fabrication products absolutely reeks of someone whose remade parts fifty times to get them right. So I can relate.

Excellent!... I recall salivating over some fabricated Formula 5000 uprights in the 1960's. (I'm OLD!) The car was one of the earliest F5000 cars made by George Begg, probably New Zealand's most prolific domestic race car builder of that time. For the local historians, I accept I might not be 100% correct; (I'm OLD!) the other car it might have been was the Begg Daimler, a single seater with a Daimler SP250 "Dart" 2.5l V8 engine. This one first ran with eight vertical exhaust pipes, with conical megafones... they did little for the power, but they sure did wonders for the volume! I'm pretty sure this car was carved up, and re-engined with a big Chevvy... it met its end in a scary end-for-end high speed crash on the main straight at Teretonga, while driven by Laurence Brownlie. Laurence survived OK. Ooohh... mind wandering a bit there... did I say?... I must be getting old! 😜

Beautiful job you did there. All 27 times. All of those times were great.

The blinker fluid bottle made the day for me, great detail.

It didn't even take me 3 minutes to realize I should just subscribe. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge in the form of well edited videos.

Keeping things simple is always underrated 👍😎👍

Thanks for the video! I’ve been building a reverse trike and the front uprights and suspension have been killing me. Your video had a lot of great tips that I will put to use. Thanks.

This is officially my favorite channel on KZfaq. I forgot how I found it but I'm grateful

Keep it simple. Works every time!!!

Love it man, you always keep me entertained even on a project I was interested in but after I watch I am alway happy I did. Thanks for making me smile man!

Dude, I love fabrication, love engineering and freaking like your glib! Instant subscribe!

Amazing.......simply amazing. I'm referring to how I had a whole productive day planned out and now I stumbled into this rabbit hole of a channel.....and at this rate I won't be able to get back to work till next week. Amazing.

That "press fit nut" and the half-a-hole on the other piece gives me the safety willies and I used to be a precision/stunt driver. I usually over-engineer/build my prototype bits and then add speed holes later. I applaud your impetuous madcap style.

Wow, probably the best project car channel I've ever seen. Reminds me of This Old Tony

Your videos always make me laugh! The melody and earnestness of the narration is just spot on, and the humor is always... also... how to put it... spot on!

Hot tip for POR15, use an icepick to punch two holes in the lid and pour the paint from that. When your done, cover the hole with masking tape until next time. Saved me a bunch of headache when I learned this method.

I really enjoy your candor so much ... or your sense of humor ... they kinda mix. Oh and I learn stuff and get inspired and re-inspired too and all that stuff. Keep it up amigo!

POR 15 is also my go-to for frame or suspension painting! Every single can has been difficult to open without marring up the lid! I've found I can open it with a wide scraper though so the applied pressure is more spread out.

Always hugely entertaining, thanks , I'm a bit late to finding your channel. Had to look up 'blinker fluid' not something I'd heard before (in the UK)!! 🤣

Just assemble it! That is how you get stuff done! Come up with a design and just make it, then fiddle with it for days and keep redoing it... then maybe toss it... but then you maybe have something useful. Great stuff!

That’s some good stuff right there! Can’t count how many redo’s I’ve been thru, lol. But the journey is most of the fun.

All hail the algorithm ✌️😭🤣

Man I’m in love with your channel! New favourite, you’re an artist!

The level of hackery in these vids comforts me and helps rationalize my own hacks.

Thanks for the reminder to top up my blinker fluid!

I like these videos, and by that I mean I love these videos and they've become my sole reason for existing and I'm planning to call my firstborn SuperfastMatt

I love how the winner of the raffle is just announced throughout the video and not hyped up at the beginning/end of the video. Makes for a much more consistent view

Your channel popped up in my feed yesterday and I’m so disappointed the algorithm overloads didn’t show me you earlier! The exact stuff I love doing and watching! Keep going super fast!

Perfectly Simplified Complexity! I love this channel, got my attention and sub all in one video!

Great job Matt!

You re the entire meaning of greatness Kudos from Argentina. As always your Fellow follower.

Oshcut is also a great source for laser parts, they allow you to specify lead time and shipping method which is great for rush jobs.

Love your videos and the humour. Brilliant.

first time watching your content. pure art, great skills and comedic timing too. i'll be following all the way from south africa

Really digging your dry humor.

Omg how have I just come across this channel absolutely amazing

Damn good job 👍 brother loved the idea and craftsmanship

Loved your story telling throughout this video! Hilarious and informative dude!

Feel like I'm late to the party . . . for the internal threads, just tack-weld a hex nut on the backside before assembly, works great.. You can even leave the hole in the part small and run a tap thru the nut after, to tap the 1/8 plate too. Or if you want longer threads, use a coupling nut. I know this comment is 2 years old . . . but hopefully your welding has improved. Or you could just mail it to me, and I'll weld it and mail it back, lol. I enjoy your vids Matt.

protip for the lasercut tabs, if you put a cutout around all internal sharp corners, like the ones on a straight edge (we call them mickey mouse ears), the fit is way better. the laser can't make sharp internal corners, it gets close, but there is some cylindrical kerf to it. about 1mm radius is enough for most thicknesses

Love it! From fellow mechanical engineer and fabricator, keep burning the rod, your welds will get better, just need more tig time.

Where have you been all my life. This video is awesome.

friggin love this guy

Matt, you forgot the fundamental part of the welder's creed: a GRINDER and paint makes me the welder I ain't.

"Why do something once when you can do it 4 times?" Accurate, but not complete...the rest goes like this... "and spend 10 times as much to get half the quality of just buying the thing." Story of my life, man! The lie I tell myself (and my wife) is that it's the experience! Thanks for reminding us we're not alone.

Best video I watched for quite some time.

the tesla caliper is actually REALLY nice in terms of stiffness. This is good because it gives you a really solid brake pedal feel

Wow that send cut send place is very cool! I wish we had one here in Canada to make things a bit easier for us.

Thank you for the video. You filled me with confidence that, even I, can build a death trap.

Love the design process of using slightly modified off-the-shelf parts and getting things laser/plasma/water jet cut to then weld. Who needs a cnc XD? Also, look into the spray paint that has the catalyst built-in. It goes by the name "spray max" and Eastwood has some. It dries much much harder than normal rattle can stuff. Your uprights are immediately going to shed paint when you spill break fluid on them or clean them with an aggressive brush.

Great channel, great fab work and humor. I'm guessing those Tesla wheels must look better in person than they do on the internet.

Awesome design !

Dude! We use the same brand of blinker fluid, nice!

Not going to lie, this has been sitting my recommendations for a few days and I'm like "yeah whatever" but tonight I figured that maybe I could translate what I see from street car to my race car. I mean, I have a welder. And a camera. My welder is a MIG and my camera is attached to a telephone, but, semantics right? Being a race car I can make it half as heavy and half as thick as a failure won't kill anyone who hasn't already signed a waiver. Great video! Thanks.

Love this channel. Too late now, but I 'think' the Lotus 111 S2 forged steel uprights may have worked, as they take GM hub bearing packs from 4 or 5 lug. Because the are still used on the current Exige V6, bigger brakes are possible to fit (343mm discs /AP racing 4 pots calipers)

Okay, it isn't just me that over-engineers projects. I appreciate your dedication and unique aesthetics.

This is a pretty cool project car

Great title. Well done.

Okay, the ALIENS reference clinched the upvote. Great series, I'm learning a lot. Thanks!

I love the music between "scenes"

Next level detail, and your dry dumb humor is great. You got a new subscriber!

Subscribed in under 30 seconds. I think that’s a record for me. Imma go continue laughing now. Keep it up my man!

stumbled onto your channel, loved the content and the humor

Damn. I keep thinking about what I'd do next and you do it. Either we're both excellent and pragmatic designers and craftsman, or mechanical Cavemen. Loved the hub registers. Careful selection of stock material. Hacksaw. Close enough to hammer on. Works. Can't ask for much more bud.

I love this channel so much

The algorithm sent me here a year after this was released. Don't ask questions about the algorithm. Your pounding the aluminum on as a shim probably brinelled the heck out of that wheel bearing.

I think I found my new all time favorite channel lol

Love the commentary!

Finally, the algorithm sent me something worth watching even if it is sketchy as frick

This is a credit to you you and the gt6 build lot in common great build

"So I did 'x'. And by 'x' I mean 'y'..." Never get tired of this.

who could NOT like these video's, funny informative and accurate

I like this series :)

GREAT VIDEO MY BROTHER. GREAT VIDEO.

I learned a lot from your video. Thanks, fast matt, super!

Keep it comming dude 👌

I'm quite sure I've learned absolutely nothing. Subscribed, because I enjoyed watching whatever it is that you've just done. Cheers!
