Building 240z/M5 Frame Rails – Was That Too Easy?

1. I have confirmed it was indeed too easy lol, i dont want the frame rails going through the middle of the car :p ill talk about this in tomorrows episode and the plan moving forward.. Good news is its really no problem or work lost moving forward.

2. On your builds, it would be nice if you would label these videos Part 1 thru ?

3. I have a question. Why when you are installing M5 power into a 240Z wouldn't you go the extra "security-mile" to get a properly designed and made frame? I hope you didn't have any issues since.

4. You guys left that bar after drinking and then driving? Wow. Thumbs down.

5. $600.00 kit and there's flaws in it. I'd send the shit back.

6. i know its too late in the game to say it, but why not just take the frame off the bmw and short'n it to fit the 240z

7. most skilled car youtuber

8. What are the drink driving laws in Oregon like?

   Can’t even have one beer here and then get back behind the wheel.

   Must be a lot more relaxed in Oregon👍

9. So r u bankrupt or what .. I haven't seen one finished project

10. How has it taken me so long to see your channel!? Epic stuff!

11. I think I would have put a str8 chalk line on the floor and put the rails on the floor on their side and tacked them like that so you know they are plumb and level. I know you used a level but a bubble level is not very accurate. You should buy a digital degree gauge. And a digital angle gauge. You can get things withing a hundreth of a degree level. And a bubble level you could easily be off by 2 degrees or more.

12. Please stop saying level lol

13. Cinder blocks tend to crumble. Use solid wood.

14. Chris, at around 2:20–2:30 you kinda sound like you’re doing a Christopher Walken impression

15. incheresting

16. You should get custom 240m badges made for the car. Mix between 240z and m5

17. You ruined the frame. No way you get away with it without having to weld back the pieces you cut or buying new ones. Plus you weld them at the wrong place

18. The best part of the video was when he was in the store

19. "If you ain't first your last"

20. 4:41 trip me out for a second i thought someone was sitting back there

21. Pause it at 4:40. Look in the background just by the trunk lever arms. Holy sh*t I was scared!

22. Dude, how can I rock your product when your sold out? 🙁
    Love watching your builds!!!!

23. Don't drink and drive man, don't drink and drive

24. Call the car the m540z (m five forty z)

25. VERY good calculations for this build! I know it'll be good and one of a kind on youtube!

26. Wtf…3bux for welding magnets?? We get bent over here downunder…

27. Looking forward to seeing how you pull this off. Have built a few of these cars, with the most recent being a coyote motor. The V10 is going to run into same problem as the mustang motor. It is so wide that even with a full tubed front end, it was too close to the coilovers. We ended up using a different motor, but did use the full mustang rear suspension, and front coilovers/brakes/hub assembly. Looking at your original idea I would suggest you build a tube frame that fits the 240 and adapt the m5 parts to fit that frame. Your idea of shortening the wheelbase is going to make a death trap. The Z has a short wheelbase and by moving it back 4 inches, you are going to make the rear end want to swing around. You can offset this some by going wider maybe. Personally I would tube the front, mount the motor, then modify the suspension to fit in the stock 240 location (or just upgrade the stock suspension on the Z since it actually handles very well).

28. 12:30 here’s a thought, though it’s likely too late now, but if you had placed the straight piece along side the curved piece, you could have marked a notch that would have allowed for full contact because the slop would have overlapped on top of the straight section.

29. Does anyone else find it a little disturbing that there’s a random severed manikin head just casually sitting on the shelf over in the corner?

30. So when are we getting an Episode sponsored by Harbor Freight? hehe

31. well now we know jegs doesn't have the best kits

32. on the next episode we will showcase the tattooed bartender
