This is amazing! I have been wondering, can roll bars be completely hidden looking more like chassis strengthening? So what it would take is a digital scan of the bare inside of the unibody and then it might need cut a bit, probably best done digitally and had pre cut at a CNC or something, then stitched together. The idea to me is that these birdcages made of water pipe have had their time, we have way better resources, so why not revolutionize and start making something just as strong you can hide underneath interior panels? I guess you would need to start by getting some way to measure strengths of existing rollcages. Then find ways to meet or hopefully exceed the strengths. While you keep pushing this technology with precise measuring and the scanning, and design in software, I would think you might already have some physics simulations to test what it can withstand and how it would bend? If not is it just educated guesswork? Do you have computer controlled mandrel benders too? That would save you a ton of headache trying to chase a dream like that. Everything would need to be so precise to fit the contours of the structure. It would take a lot of prototyping and testing and then a lot of work with officials to get something passed for that level of protection, but for safety I don't see why not. I would guess there are plenty of people out there that want that safety but don't want rollbars in the way. So it seems like a no brainer that eventually this is just going to be the way it will be someday. Though I know a lot of people feel safe by them being so huge and visible too. I just have that vision. You are perhaps the only one on youtube I have seen even coming close to the quality and technology innovation that might be able to pull something like that off. Thanks for reading.

I had just found you guys on KZfaq and have started watching from your 1st video. My question is where did you get that jig built with the holes in the plate. I just have a 2x3 table with 1/4" plate on it. Thanks and keep it up

Thanks...

Can you show mounting the body on this one please

Where have y'all been. We need more videos from you. Awesome content as usual. Really impressive what y'all do. Best of luck. Take Care!!!

what is aluminum tube for race car frames? Please let me know

What brand was the front clip

Whats does something like this cost? Ball park.

Bummer! You fast forwarded thru the actual crimp procedure. Did you need to remove the masking tape from the end of the hose before crimping? Did the aramid braid try to unravel requiring trimming before crimping? 0:04

Air got spicey!!!!

I loved seeing your pets, they are pure and true friends. Congratulations I have learned a lot with your tips. Thank you.

Friend, I am preparing to begin construction of a trike, tricycle with a transverse motor. Can you tell me what type of tubes you use and the measurements please.

Awesome work as always.

What will the Vette certify to? With the square tube back half, does the main hoop land on the square tube crossmember or through the square to a continuous 1 5/8 # 1 bar? I have a square tube chassis with a 4 link and a 3 piece crossmember that as the rules state, needs to be 1 piece. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work with out cutting it completely apart.

I’m well aware this is a stupid question but I’m curious anyway. To your knowledge would your 4th gen fbody 25.3 kit fit in a 3rd gen? Well, I guess i mean would the shell fit over the chassis. I know it’s a dumb question but no one sells a 25.3 kit for a 3rd gen so I was just curious before I build my own. I know they’re very similar but wasn’t sure if it would work

What's the engine combination? And what type of fuel do you run on the street and race? Just curious?

So cool

Thanks for the video! I love watching your adventures at Sick Week!😁

Too fast ….when right down the track….good luck the rest of the week

Geometry is definitely off on the lower control arm ball joint man. I bet you that tire moves in and out on the range of motion.

I love marks explanation of anything. I'm surprised there aren't more views on the chassis tech videos as they are the best on KZfaq.

I love all of your videos!😁

Can I work intern

Could you please provide info on the sanding drum regarding sourcing?

👊

looks like you guys have been busy!

What frontend did you use? I have a 86 and needs a front clip. Thank you

MRC does an awesome job! Thanks for the walkabout in your Shop!😁

You guys do really nice work!

When do you think the backhalf is necessary or required?

Fantastic work! What do you mean most people don’t pick that car!!! lol

Y'all are always doing exceptional work. Thanks so much for sharing.

hey guys. i was curious how much tig welding experience you think is needed before someone takes your class? i really love the quality of work you guys do! hopefully ordering a 25.2 kit soon. finding a roller/shell in good shape has actually been difficult. havent seen 1 so far that i would buy....

Are the head studs available to the public yet , had a quick look on the BTR site but could not find tool steel ones. Car is really coming along , looking forward to this years results!!!

Best of luck at Sick Week!!!

Congratulations on partnering with BTR.

All of your hard work will pay off! I'm so proud of you Matt!

Could you not use a Jiffy-tite quick connect fitting on the street gas or methanol return and not need the valves?

👊

I’m glad to see you getting ready for sick week, good luck, be safe

3lb saving on a oil pan, but add 15lbs of BS for dumps and plumbing 🤦🏼 why do you need all that anyway. K.I.S.S.

Good luck at Sick Week 2024! 😁✌️

👊

Man I just did those frame connectors

What brand did you say those doors were?

Congrats on the wins brother! 💪🏾👊🏾

CONGRATULATIONS!!! One of my favorite KZfaq channels. Really enjoy the informative videos. I'm trying to learn as much as possible and what works and what doesn't. You've forgotten more than I'll ever know. Very talented people. Congrats Again!!! Take Care!!!

Congrats!

Where did you guys get that 1 5/8 drum attachment/ paper for it? This looks super handy. Thanks!
