--> 00:08:00,043 This is gonna be something we can get in, 227 00:08:00,043 --> 00:08:00,209 This is gonna be something we can get in, 228 00:08:00,209 --> 00:08:01,510 put our signature on it, 229 00:08:01,510 --> 00:08:03,610 and just roll out, and show the world 230 00:08:03,610 --> 00:08:05,843 -how we build cool cars and trucks. -Mmm-hmm. 231 00:08:05,910 --> 00:08:06,943 So, y'all ready to get it? 232 00:08:07,010 --> 00:08:07,910 -Of course, man. -Yeah. 233 00:08:09,743 --> 00:08:10,843 Let's do it. 234 00:08:19,209 --> 00:08:20,710 [Bill] You know, this is a brand new truck, 235 00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:22,910 so we're gonna be extra careful with this tear down. 236 00:08:27,710 --> 00:08:30,043 First thing is, go ahead and start getting this bed off. 237 00:08:30,043 --> 00:08:30,309 First thing is, go ahead and start getting this bed off. 238 00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:31,410 Before I do that, I might've to grind 239 00:08:31,410 --> 00:08:32,943 all these bed bolts right here 240 00:08:32,943 --> 00:08:35,109 'cause they got a lot of build up from the bed liner in there. 241 00:08:37,309 --> 00:08:39,510 Now, disconnect all the electrical. 242 00:08:39,510 --> 00:08:43,209 That's going to the bed floor to tail gate right here. 243 00:08:44,343 --> 00:08:45,510 It should come right off. 244 00:08:48,643 --> 00:08:50,410 Go ahead and pull it off easy, straight back. 245 00:08:53,209 --> 00:08:54,309 [laughs] 246 00:09:00,243 --> 00:09:01,143 Thank you. 247 00:09:02,443 --> 00:09:03,576 Thank you, guys. 248 00:09:08,109 --> 00:09:09,943 [Bill] So we ordered a half ton crew cab bed 249 00:09:10,010 --> 00:09:13,943 that's way shorter than the 350 short bed. 250 00:09:14,010 --> 00:09:15,710 All the mounting is totally different, 251 00:09:15,710 --> 00:09:17,010 but it's gonna line up perfectly. 252 00:09:18,309 --> 00:09:19,510 Watch your hands on the cab. 253 00:09:22,910 --> 00:09:23,810 You got the back centered, Jamie? 254 00:09:24,610 --> 00:09:25,543 Pretty good right there, huh? 255 00:09:27,943 --> 00:09:29,209 You know, like any project, 256 00:09:29,209 --> 00:09:30,043 you have an idea in your head, how it's gonna go, right? 257 00:09:30,043 --> 00:09:33,143 you have an idea in your head, how it's gonna go, right? 258 00:09:33,143 --> 00:09:35,843 I was thinking the bed was just gonna bolt in place, 259 00:09:35,910 --> 00:09:38,443 and we're gonna chop the back of the frame off, 260 00:09:38,510 --> 00:09:40,610 shorten the wheel base, but of course not. 261 00:09:40,610 --> 00:09:44,209 The bed floor is totally different from each other, 262 00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:45,810 so there's nothing that lines up, 263 00:09:45,810 --> 00:09:46,643 so we're gonna have to make 264 00:09:47,410 --> 00:09:49,510 our own specific bed mounts 265 00:09:49,510 --> 00:09:50,910 here and here, 266 00:09:50,910 --> 00:09:52,910 that's the first issue. 267 00:09:52,910 --> 00:09:54,810 Once the back of the frame is chopped off, 268 00:09:54,810 --> 00:09:56,410 we got the bed mounted, 269 00:09:56,410 --> 00:09:57,910 then we can get down to business 270 00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,043 and actually modify the bed sides. 271 00:10:00,043 --> 00:10:00,143 and actually modify the bed sides. 272 00:10:00,143 --> 00:10:01,943 I think we're on plan C already, 273 00:10:02,010 --> 00:10:03,076 and ain't even got started. 274 00:10:09,743 --> 00:10:11,643 You know, having that vision is critical 275 00:10:11,710 --> 00:10:14,410 when you're turning a F-350 into a Raptor. 276 00:10:14,410 --> 00:10:15,910 You know, we always try to figure out 277 00:10:15,910 --> 00:10:17,410 what can go wrong before it happens. 278 00:10:17,410 --> 00:10:22,010 Like this crew cab F-150 bed not fitting on this F-350. 279 00:10:22,010 --> 00:10:24,309 You know, but like anything, we figure out the problem, 280 00:10:24,309 --> 00:10:27,810 address it, get it handled, and get this bed on. 281 00:10:27,810 --> 00:10:30,243 And this time we're gonna start by making new bed mounts. 282 00:10:32,309 --> 00:10:33,510 So what we've got here, 283 00:10:33,510 --> 00:10:33,687 we had Jessie burn us out some eighth inch plate. 284 00:10:33,687 --> 00:10:36,443 we had Jessie burn us out some eighth inch plate. 285 00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:38,209 What I'm gonna do is build a little channel 286 00:10:38,209 --> 00:10:40,043 that the bed will sit flat on, 287 00:10:40,109 --> 00:10:42,843 and then we can weld right to the frame itself. 288 00:10:45,410 --> 00:10:46,643 Just gotta do a little notch-y. 289 00:10:54,343 --> 00:10:56,243 All we have to do now is go from the top, 290 00:10:56,309 --> 00:10:57,943 poke a whole right in it, 291 00:10:58,010 --> 00:11:00,710 you got a perfect spot to bolt the bed to the frame. 292 00:11:00,710 --> 00:11:02,209 And once we pull the bed off, 293 00:11:02,209 --> 00:11:03,687 we can just round it, 294 00:11:03,687 --> 00:11:03,910 we can just round it, 295 00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:05,910 shape it and make it look perfect. 296 00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:08,610 It'll look like a, like it came that way from the factory. 297 00:11:11,243 --> 00:11:12,910 [Jamie] I'mma go ahead and start drilling through the bed. 298 00:11:16,309 --> 00:11:17,743 I'mma go ahead and put our bolts in there. 299 00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:19,309 All right, here with the impact. 300 00:11:22,910 --> 00:11:23,710 One more bump. 301 00:11:24,743 --> 00:11:25,710 All right. 302 00:11:32,143 --> 00:11:33,343 Once I get our bolts anchored in, 303 00:11:33,410 --> 00:11:33,687 I'll go ahead and tack the braces on the bed, 304 00:11:33,687 --> 00:11:35,209 I'll go ahead and tack the braces on the bed, 305 00:11:35,209 --> 00:11:36,610 so I'll know that's the placement of 'em. 306 00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:44,810 All right. 307 00:11:46,109 --> 00:11:47,276 So now that we got the bed off, 308 00:11:47,276 --> 00:11:49,610 you can see the braces that Bill and I have made. 309 00:11:49,610 --> 00:11:51,410 We'll go ahead and weld these out, and that's gonna be done. 310 00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:03,687 You know, now we know where this bed is gonna sit, 311 00:12:03,687 --> 00:12:04,810 You know, now we know where this bed is gonna sit, 312 00:12:04,810 --> 00:12:06,209 we can tear off all that suspension. 313 00:12:15,810 --> 00:12:17,843 So you know, obviously, we're going with the shorter bed, 314 00:12:17,910 --> 00:12:19,810 so we're not gonna need this portion of the frame, 315 00:12:19,810 --> 00:12:21,910 so what I'm gonna do is go ahead and chop this off, 316 00:12:21,910 --> 00:12:24,510 we'll be able to put our bumper back. 317 00:12:24,510 --> 00:12:27,143 This hanging off the backside of the truck is gonna be unproportional, 318 00:12:27,209 --> 00:12:29,143 so shorter bed, shorter frame. 319 00:12:29,910 --> 00:12:30,910 Made quick work of it. 320 00:12:37,610 --> 00:12:38,810 All right, that'll do. 321 00:12:41,343 --> 00:12:42,209 Chop it on the flow. 322 00:12:43,543 --> 00:12:44,810 Thirteen and three quarters. 323 00:12:45,510 --> 00:12:46,343 Right here. 324 00:12:48,209 --> 00:12:49,143 All right. 325 00:12:50,443 --> 00:12:53,309 So the next step is building our four link, 326 00:12:53,309 --> 00:12:56,843 connecting the rear end to the frame itself, 327 00:12:56,910 --> 00:12:58,243 so it all track straight... 328 00:12:59,410 --> 00:13:00,910 ...rides good, handles good. 329 00:13:00,910 --> 00:13:02,743 We're gonna go with the parallel four link. 330 00:13:08,743 --> 00:13:10,643 He still wants to be able to use this for work 331 00:13:10,710 --> 00:13:12,910 and still wants it to look like a Baja truck, 332 00:13:12,910 --> 00:13:14,343 and you still want it to ride good, 333 00:13:14,410 --> 00:13:18,510 so with the four link we're gonna install big air bags 334 00:13:18,510 --> 00:13:20,143 in place of the leaf springs, 335 00:13:20,209 --> 00:13:22,209 you know, not to make it low, not to make it high, 336 00:13:22,209 --> 00:13:25,410 just for ride quality and still be able to tow whatever he wants. 337 00:13:26,810 --> 00:13:28,410 -This right here. -Uh-huh. 338 00:13:28,410 --> 00:13:29,343 [Bill] See that seam right there, 339 00:13:29,343 --> 00:13:31,910 is even with the outside of this four link. 340 00:13:35,043 --> 00:13:36,243 Three-quarters, let's do it. 341 00:13:41,510 --> 00:13:44,410 Cool, we got our last little part of our 342 00:13:44,410 --> 00:13:46,309 suspension is the lower four link bar, 343 00:13:46,309 --> 00:13:47,843 so we're just gonna tack it in place 344 00:13:48,543 --> 00:13:49,810 on the axle itself, 345 00:13:49,810 --> 00:13:52,209 and that's gonna locate where it's gonna be on the frame. 346 00:13:54,910 --> 00:13:56,176 [Jamie] That looks good, man. 347 00:13:56,209 --> 00:13:58,443 -[Bill] Definitely. -[Jamie] Nice, parallel, it's huge. 348 00:13:58,510 --> 00:14:01,109 that definitely connects the rear end to the frame. 349 00:14:01,109 --> 00:14:02,543 You know, it really kinda starting to look like a, 350 00:14:02,610 --> 00:14:03,687 a short bed Raptor truck now. 351 00:14:03,687 --> 00:14:04,510 a short bed Raptor truck now. 352 00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:05,743 It's a wolf in sheep's clothing. 353 00:14:05,810 --> 00:14:08,043 [Bill] So our next step, we just weld all that out, 354 00:14:08,109 --> 00:14:09,410 -let's get that done. -[Jamie] Mmm-hmm. 355 00:14:09,410 --> 00:14:12,610 And then we'll go on to the, the bag mounts themselves. 356 00:14:19,510 --> 00:14:20,910 Man, caught you working. 357 00:14:20,910 --> 00:14:22,810 Well, you know, trying to get this order filled out. 358 00:14:22,810 --> 00:14:25,443 Speaking on work, how is that Rolls-Royce going? 359 00:14:26,443 --> 00:14:28,510 -You heard, right? -I heard and I've seen. 360 00:14:31,109 --> 00:14:33,209 [Bill] Looks like somebody has been using it for target practice. 361 00:14:33,209 --> 00:14:33,687 - [laughs] Right? - [Carlos] Yeah. 362 00:14:33,687 --> 00:14:34,510 - [laughs] Right? - [Carlos] Yeah. 363 00:14:34,543 --> 00:14:36,910 It looked good before sitting just out in the parking lot 364 00:14:36,910 --> 00:14:38,643 and then took it in, got it stripped and-- 365 00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:40,510 -It's overwhelming for sure. -Yeah. 366 00:14:40,510 --> 00:14:41,910 [Bill] Good thing we've got somebody like 367 00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:44,410 Sisco and his son, Boston, come in and help out. 368 00:14:44,410 --> 00:14:46,810 They're just cutting out patches on top of patches 369 00:14:46,810 --> 00:14:48,276 -on top of patches. - [Carlos] Ah. 370 00:14:48,276 --> 00:14:50,143 [Bill] They're thinking of start making a brand new rocker 371 00:14:50,143 --> 00:14:51,543 from the front wheel well 372 00:14:51,610 --> 00:14:53,010 all the way to back wheel well, 373 00:14:53,010 --> 00:14:55,209 so they're gonna need some sheet metal. 374 00:14:55,209 --> 00:14:57,309 Not the regular 20 gauge, but the galvanneal. 375 00:14:57,309 --> 00:14:58,810 -The good stuff. -Yeah. 376 00:14:58,810 --> 00:15:01,510 -We're gonna hand build a hand-built car. -Yeah. 377 00:15:01,510 --> 00:15:03,687 I think all of us is gonna be busy on this one. 378 00:15:03,687 --> 00:15:03,710 I think all of us is gonna be busy on this one. 379 00:15:03,710 --> 00:15:04,810 Absolutely. 380 00:15:04,810 --> 00:15:06,543 Speaking of work, I gotta get back to it. 381 00:15:06,610 --> 00:15:07,910 -Get it shipped out. -I'mma do it. 382 00:15:11,043 --> 00:15:13,143 [Bill] Sisco is done making the rear part of the rockers, 383 00:15:13,143 --> 00:15:15,410 now he's gonna make the front part of the rockers. 384 00:15:15,410 --> 00:15:16,843 [Sisco] So now we're gonna start building our channels, 385 00:15:16,910 --> 00:15:19,710 just gonna mimic the old rocker panels on here. 386 00:15:21,309 --> 00:15:24,410 This will mimic the panel we cut off earlier. 387 00:15:25,109 --> 00:15:26,643 So I'll put new holes in this, 388 00:15:27,710 --> 00:15:29,510 we'll plug weld it right to the original panel, 389 00:15:29,510 --> 00:15:31,410 and it'll look like factory at that point. 390 00:15:31,410 --> 00:15:32,710 So the next step, now that I've got this 391 00:15:32,710 --> 00:15:33,687 bent to the right angle and it's the right length, 392 00:15:33,687 --> 00:15:35,143 bent to the right angle and it's the right length, 393 00:15:35,209 --> 00:15:36,643 I'm gonna go with the bead roller, 394 00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:38,643 I'm gonna do a little finisher edge in this thing. 395 00:15:39,743 --> 00:15:41,910 I got a nice little rolled edge, 396 00:15:41,910 --> 00:15:45,143 finishes off that panel a lot nicer. 397 00:15:45,143 --> 00:15:47,710 Rolls up over the top instead of just being a sharp point sticking out. 398 00:15:50,510 --> 00:15:51,610 These are ready weld on. 399 00:15:56,243 --> 00:15:58,343 I'm super excited to be here 400 00:15:58,410 --> 00:16:00,610 and work with my son, Boston, on this. 401 00:16:00,610 --> 00:16:03,687 He's been super excited ever since the day I told him about it. 402 00:16:03,687 --> 00:16:03,943 He's been super excited ever since the day I told him about it. 403 00:16:04,010 --> 00:16:05,343 I had to pull him out of school, 404 00:16:05,343 --> 00:16:07,910 so that was interesting to tell all the teachers, you know, 405 00:16:07,910 --> 00:16:09,743 and they didn't give him any homework and nothing to do, 406 00:16:09,810 --> 00:16:11,343 they said, "I'm glad he's going, it's cool, 407 00:16:11,410 --> 00:16:13,543 so that's always a great experience." 408 00:16:13,610 --> 00:16:15,843 All right, it's cool, so we got the mount welded on, 409 00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:18,109 now it's part of the car, ain't going nowhere. 410 00:16:20,810 --> 00:16:23,209 [Sisco] So our new rocker will slide right over the top of that, 411 00:16:23,209 --> 00:16:25,209 it'll come down and hook right to the bottom of our, 412 00:16:25,209 --> 00:16:26,343 you know, rocker that we built. 413 00:16:29,643 --> 00:16:31,109 I'm gonna go ahead and start making the pattern 414 00:16:31,109 --> 00:16:32,710 for this center bar here. 415 00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:33,687 It'd be kind of weird shape, 416 00:16:33,687 --> 00:16:34,109 It'd be kind of weird shape, 417 00:16:34,810 --> 00:16:36,243 gonna be flat, 418 00:16:36,243 --> 00:16:38,109 it's gonna go back and be rounded all at the same time. 419 00:16:40,643 --> 00:16:42,043 Didn't get it close, though, 420 00:16:42,043 --> 00:16:43,209 so I'm gonna hit it with a sander and finish it off. 421 00:16:45,610 --> 00:16:47,443 I corner welded it on the outside, 422 00:16:47,510 --> 00:16:49,610 and you always wanna do that anytime you can 423 00:16:49,610 --> 00:16:51,610 get the outside corner of something welded, 424 00:16:51,610 --> 00:16:53,243 'cause on the, if you weld the inside corner, 425 00:16:53,309 --> 00:16:55,209 you'll get a lot of built-up. 426 00:16:55,209 --> 00:16:57,143 You want it to look crisp and clean. 427 00:16:57,209 --> 00:16:59,410 It's hard to get that inside edge ground down 428 00:17:00,143 --> 00:17:01,410 with a grinder to look smooth. 429 00:17:06,510 --> 00:17:08,643 So we got everything welded in place, 430 00:17:08,710 --> 00:17:10,309 and our door gaps are pretty far off, 431 00:17:10,309 --> 00:17:13,109 so I'm gonna pry this over gently, 432 00:17:13,109 --> 00:17:15,143 I'mma need you to grab the welder and tack this real quick. 433 00:17:15,143 --> 00:17:16,010 Ready? 434 00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:17,610 Okay. 435 00:17:23,043 --> 00:17:23,910 Now... 436 00:17:25,343 --> 00:17:26,643 ...the gap should be doable. 437 00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:28,309 That's doable. 438 00:17:28,309 --> 00:17:30,510 Now we can trim that up to get a nice, even gap 439 00:17:30,510 --> 00:17:32,243 that's gonna be the same around the whole door 440 00:17:32,309 --> 00:17:33,510 for both these panels all the way down. 441 00:17:42,943 --> 00:17:44,076 [Bill] You know, when you're rebuilding 442 00:17:44,076 --> 00:17:46,510 a 60 year old vehicle like the Rolls-Royce, 443 00:17:46,510 --> 00:17:49,410 you know, the big thing is just bringing it back, making it stronger 444 00:17:49,410 --> 00:17:51,843 for the next 60 years or even 100. 445 00:17:51,910 --> 00:17:53,910 So right now, Sisco is rebuilding the rockers 446 00:17:53,910 --> 00:17:56,510 even better than they were from the factory. 447 00:17:56,510 --> 00:17:59,143 I'm gonna start building the outside skin of this rocker 448 00:17:59,143 --> 00:18:01,043 to make it look like a finished car again. 449 00:18:03,810 --> 00:18:04,930 Let's go try it on the car. 450 00:18:04,930 --> 00:18:05,043 Let's go try it on the car. 451 00:18:06,143 --> 00:18:07,510 I think we're pretty darn close. 452 00:18:08,610 --> 00:18:09,943 It's hard to get it all the way in, 453 00:18:10,010 --> 00:18:11,710 so I have to trim this rocker off here. 454 00:18:16,343 --> 00:18:17,610 Before I can put these rockers on, 455 00:18:17,610 --> 00:18:20,743 I've gotta have these doors in a proper space. 456 00:18:20,810 --> 00:18:24,943 Every door gap is touching, touching, touching, touching. 457 00:18:25,010 --> 00:18:26,910 So I've gotta wrap my mind around 458 00:18:26,910 --> 00:18:28,610 why it could be like that, 459 00:18:28,610 --> 00:18:30,510 what could've caused it, and how I can fix it? 460 00:18:34,543 --> 00:18:34,930 So what I'm trying to do is get these body lines to line up. 461 00:18:34,930 --> 00:18:38,943 So what I'm trying to do is get these body lines to line up. 462 00:18:39,010 --> 00:18:40,143 That's the belt line of the car, 463 00:18:40,209 --> 00:18:41,143 that's the center, 464 00:18:41,209 --> 00:18:42,943 so if I get a decent body line 465 00:18:43,810 --> 00:18:45,143 line up all through there... 466 00:18:47,010 --> 00:18:48,143 If these doors aren't straight, 467 00:18:48,143 --> 00:18:49,910 the my rockers will be in the wrong spot. 468 00:18:49,910 --> 00:18:51,343 And that's a straight line, 469 00:18:52,109 --> 00:18:54,209 that is not. [chuckles] 470 00:18:54,209 --> 00:18:56,343 So our quarter inch shorter door here 471 00:18:56,410 --> 00:18:57,410 compared to our longer door, 472 00:18:58,143 --> 00:18:59,510 so this one is turning lower, 473 00:18:59,510 --> 00:19:00,743 and this one is turning higher. 474 00:19:00,810 --> 00:19:02,243 So there's no way around it, 475 00:19:02,309 --> 00:19:04,543 we're gonna have to either add some to this door 476 00:19:04,610 --> 00:19:04,930 or take some off of this door 477 00:19:04,930 --> 00:19:05,843 or take some off of this door 478 00:19:05,910 --> 00:19:07,910 once I put my new rocker in place. 479 00:19:07,910 --> 00:19:09,843 Messing with the eyes, it's an illusion. 480 00:19:17,910 --> 00:19:19,010 These cars are all coach-built, 481 00:19:19,010 --> 00:19:20,276 they're all built by hand, 482 00:19:20,309 --> 00:19:22,209 usually by a couple of guys a long time back in the day. 483 00:19:24,343 --> 00:19:26,910 So I'm gonna put my new rocker in place straight, 484 00:19:26,910 --> 00:19:29,510 with the body line straight and gap at the top, 485 00:19:29,510 --> 00:19:31,743 and then we'll have to adjust these doors gaps on the bottom 486 00:19:31,810 --> 00:19:33,343 with cutting and adding material 487 00:19:33,410 --> 00:19:34,930 to get them so they line up good with the car. 488 00:19:34,930 --> 00:19:35,910 to get them so they line up good with the car. 489 00:19:36,843 --> 00:19:38,410 All right. 490 00:19:38,410 --> 00:19:41,010 Now we've got it clamped in, fits good. 491 00:19:41,010 --> 00:19:43,209 I'm gonna do this exact thing three more times. 492 00:19:46,843 --> 00:19:48,076 [Bill] You know, a few years back, 493 00:19:48,109 --> 00:19:51,309 I built my own Baja truck out of an old wrecked F-150, 494 00:19:51,309 --> 00:19:53,309 and I've had a lot of fun with it. 495 00:19:56,243 --> 00:19:59,143 Turning this '22 F-350 into a Raptor, 496 00:19:59,209 --> 00:20:01,510 you know, that means giving him that Baja look, 497 00:20:01,510 --> 00:20:04,543 but still being able to let him tow whatever he wants. 498 00:20:07,109 --> 00:20:08,710 I got my measurements of the, 499 00:20:08,710 --> 00:20:11,410 where the bags needs to sit on the axle. 500 00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:13,510 Then I'm gonna tack some spacers together, 501 00:20:13,510 --> 00:20:16,143 so the bag is simulated at rod height. 502 00:20:17,610 --> 00:20:20,410 But I know the lower bag mount is perfectly centered 503 00:20:20,410 --> 00:20:22,843 under the upper bag mount. 504 00:20:22,910 --> 00:20:24,043 Everything is where it needs to be. 505 00:20:24,043 --> 00:20:25,843 All I need to do is make 506 00:20:25,910 --> 00:20:28,343 mounts from the lower bag mounts to axle 507 00:20:28,410 --> 00:20:30,710 and from the upper bag mount up to the frame. 508 00:20:34,043 --> 00:20:34,930 Oh, man, this is just the way to go, 509 00:20:34,930 --> 00:20:35,710 Oh, man, this is just the way to go, 510 00:20:35,710 --> 00:20:37,543 I mean, the getting rid of the leaf springs. 511 00:20:37,610 --> 00:20:40,143 You can put whatever weight you want on it 512 00:20:40,209 --> 00:20:41,510 and it's gonna the squat the truck, 513 00:20:41,510 --> 00:20:43,410 you just air the ride up a little bit, 514 00:20:43,410 --> 00:20:45,643 and you're riding up the same rod height, 515 00:20:45,710 --> 00:20:47,209 and still riding on air. 516 00:20:53,109 --> 00:20:56,143 It's definitely got that nice aggressive look to it. 517 00:20:56,209 --> 00:20:57,810 Slick, kinda flows everything. 518 00:20:57,810 --> 00:20:59,943 This is gonna look good once it's finished out. 519 00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:11,143 I kinda wanna replicate some little shock hoop, kinda Baja style, 520 00:21:11,143 --> 00:21:12,910 so we'll connect it back to the frame, 521 00:21:12,910 --> 00:21:15,309 so everything is gonna be one piece and it look really cool, 522 00:21:15,309 --> 00:21:17,610 so when you're looking in that big old inner well, 523 00:21:17,610 --> 00:21:19,910 you'll see some nice tube work in it. 524 00:21:19,910 --> 00:21:22,143 It's just gonna give it that Baja style. 525 00:21:22,143 --> 00:21:24,143 Man, the tubular upper bag mount looks 526 00:21:24,209 --> 00:21:26,510 really, really good, nice and strong. 527 00:21:27,710 --> 00:21:29,309 Inch and half, schedule 80. 528 00:21:29,309 --> 00:21:30,610 This is not going anywhere. 529 00:21:34,309 --> 00:21:34,930 You know, couple of things left is, 530 00:21:34,930 --> 00:21:35,610 You know, couple of things left is, 531 00:21:35,610 --> 00:21:37,910 I'm gonna take our bag spacers out. 532 00:21:39,743 --> 00:21:41,309 Bottom the rear end all the way out. 533 00:21:43,810 --> 00:21:45,209 And then we're gonna build our shock mounts. 534 00:21:48,510 --> 00:21:50,109 We got an upper shock mount made, 535 00:21:50,109 --> 00:21:53,143 so all we're gonna do is place our tabs on the rear end itself. 536 00:21:53,143 --> 00:21:54,510 Shock mounts are done. 537 00:21:55,910 --> 00:21:57,143 You know, we ain't doing all this 538 00:21:57,143 --> 00:21:59,043 just to ride around the streets in New Jersey. 539 00:21:59,109 --> 00:22:01,410 It's definitely made to, 540 00:22:01,410 --> 00:22:03,710 to do whatever punishments he's gonna put it through, 541 00:22:03,710 --> 00:22:04,930 this is gonna take it. 542 00:22:04,930 --> 00:22:04,977 this is gonna take it. 543 00:22:07,510 --> 00:22:10,343 Last part of the suspension is the Panhard bars itself. 544 00:22:10,410 --> 00:22:12,410 You know, we don't have any leaf springs any more 545 00:22:12,410 --> 00:22:14,610 to keep the rear end from going side to side, 546 00:22:14,610 --> 00:22:16,843 so that's exactly what a Panhard bar does. 547 00:22:16,910 --> 00:22:20,943 It's a hard mount from the frame itself over to the axel. 548 00:22:21,010 --> 00:22:23,510 And that keeps everything in place. 549 00:22:34,510 --> 00:22:34,930 I like the way everything turned out.
