If you're going to do much of this kind of stuff, you need a portaband table and a bench shear
Its firee
I'm all for everything happening here and it's nice to see another S30 owner with the ambition of hiding a V10 in these cars! Represent! 😀
HOWEVER!
shortening the wheelbase of the S30 is not ideal for multiple reasons. Though, given as many videos as you have already posted and me just finding out about this and binging it since yesterday; I get the feeling you may have realized this by now.
BMW only packaged the car that way because of how big the engine is contrast to the little space it's been shoehorned into. Remember, that car was a family grocery car first, track spirit was an afterthought.
The S30 body is a perfect candidate for a stellar mid-front setup just like Mercedes, Ferrari and Aston Martin etc.
You obviously have the skill (and patience) to do all of this fab work, so why not figure it and do it 'right' (the 'right' way being subjective… I know :p )
I don't see the link for the weatherstripping, could you post it please? Thanks in advance!
I'm new here. Wondering where you are on this build right now. Cause i see a huge issue….Don't wanna say till i know where your at…
B is for buzzed!
H is for Hack
B is for Bangin build!!
This really does not make sense to me why is Chris just building the frame for the Datsun and then just modifying it to fit the BMW subframes?
After this is complete you should race tavarish on the circuit track
Awesome love this build in case I need to do something similar
b is for Bladdered lol
came back to watch the video because I remembered you had a honey link! 🙂
Not gonna lie I kinda strayed away from your channel halfway through the lotus but I’m back now I’m excited for this
B is for botched?
check out FabForums custom frame build for his foxbody might give you some ideas and he is super knowlegable on all things frame you could reach out for tips!
Chris, you should watch and reach out to these guys and the carbon 240 build

Though a lot of the engineering specifics go straight over my head I love that you take the time to dumb it down for me
balls for following a piece of paper to build a car, hehe. Keep it up, lots of elbow grease will build this car
Best episode so far, learned a lot. I've been using Honey for a long time, great app.
i enjoy you videos but i feel that sometimes you ramble on and on about the same topic instead of actually getting to the project itself, just constructive criticism for future vids !
I love the caulking gun being used as a G-clamp lol.
All those tools and you dont have a RotoZip?? Woulda cut a perfect circle in about 30 seconds
Should probably add some triangulating to the those tower templates, surprisingly easy to tweak that metal, also maybe you'd consider reordering those rear hoops? Etc?
This is all great but can we see something on the datsun
Buy a plasma cutter.
Our old shop had no windows. Got in the zone many times and got surprised by the sun coming up. That will beat you down for a few days. Keep it up can't wait to see this thing.
Hey look! A Bad Obsession Motorsport style Negative Jig Thingy 😀
Wow that is a really nice and beautiful job â¤ï¸ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂ
Hey guys, I have a question. Do any of you remember the name of an app which Chris shown in long time already? This one where you have an account and your cars, you can post pics of mods and etc?
