Well, we're back over here on Jack Stan's car. We're putting the biggest Engine he could find in this thing and that's requiring a lot of work. This thing was pretty stock up front before I mean still race car, but pretty stock So having to cut a lot of stuff out and you know how we do around here Every single time we do something we'll just cut it here and do that and we we end up progressing backwards pretty quick We've gone down a rabbit hole this one But Danny and Taylor have been cutting on this thing all morning Danny started on it. Danny had to go home So Taylor's finishing it Danny was cutting some stuff out of the firewall here. And he said He said he break lines. That's not gonna do it He said he couldn't even he was looking at him and his eyes were twitching Oh, those are those are rough and then I don't know if that came off the Titanic or not It's possible that one what in the world? Yeah, I think she had a leak on that one Hey, leave it out. So Danny said scratch that Steering column, you know, we got to put an adjustable one in there Plus this one went to the stock firewall and this would all had to be all cut up and like jack stand Nick welder that one in there. I don't think that came with the car. I don't think so The guys that built the car are pretty good. So I'm gonna say Jackson Brother all credit budget. Let's go stick welder out on that one much more stuff cut off here a lot of weight This stuff is heavy. There's all that. That's that's probably five eight pounds by itself But that's tough That's tough, right? Oh Catfishes are heavy one. So the side of the go There's a scene here on the floor where the floor meets like the back section and a firewall meat So that's where we stopped the next thing we got to figure out obviously this is going we got Kenny Come tomorrow to remove the glass to do our glass stuff. It's hard to get out. We try this without messing up back around They're gonna move this tomorrow so we can trim up in here more but We got to figure out where we're gonna go here My original thought was that cut way back here and angle it to the front somewhere But upon further review, I think Jackson will be about six inches short on labor in there So I don't even go back that far So what might do is where this is we kind of got to go back at least this far go straight down Straight up to here and then we'll angle it somewhere in here to up here We got to make the firewall look good. This is no longer like a Stamped form firewall. It's gonna be sheet metal that would break and radius and it's we want to do attaching and make it look good So, right, that's what we're trying to do now in the next step As soon as we get this trimmed a little bit more Let's stick it up here on a jig because it's time to put that monster in there. Sure. Yeah. Yeah That's a that's a house right there. So it's a hoss So we're gonna cut us a quarter inch aluminum mid plates that thing Sticking in here Taylor came up with an idea on where to run the frame rails to underneath And we're gonna stick the frame rails out the front start mounting some struts and get this thing All right, well we're under jack stands Camaro I didn't think we're gonna have to come under here too much before we put on a jig Me and Taylor were talking about the frame rail width on the front to make the front suspension work They got down here. He marked it out. He was gonna just grind these tubes here because this we're gonna attach our Our frame rails and well, there was a gusset from here to there just barely in the way of the frame rails Just barely like this It was like what was it overlap on like an inch it not even not even yeah It was just gonna be enough that the inch and five eighths wasn't gonna So we had to come down here cut it off and clean it up. But now we should be good, right? Yeah, hopefully good. I think so You sound for sure I'm not sure about anything at this point All right, so we got that cleaned up we're gonna I think put on a jig now, right We got a drive shaft loop here, that's I think it's offset like that because I had offset Yes, the engine probably was offset, right? Yeah I'm not really sure what's gonna happen there because if we Center this the tunnel might not fit We need to Center the engine pry unless the pinions off and everything. I don't know what look at all this The penny might be offset, too What do you think is it offset or Center I Think everything on this car is awesome. It might be everything everything is Is is crooked except the back? The back structure back here that was put in after the pack. Oh, yeah, that's probably all Center I would say this brake line to a project and yank that out sure Daniel wanna Brief an egg with that brake line. Yeah back there, but this is a torque arm car, too. I don't know you Haven't seen a lot of these Camaros So basically what this has is two lower control arms in the back on the bottom And then instead of like a four link two on the top It's just got this one right here in the middle giant ladder this here torque arm Yeah, just a giant ladder bar it's just uh, yeah, so they actually I mean they say they work pretty good, you know I mean, I think this car has been pretty quick Today's video is sponsored by Brunt and most of you know by now I don't wear boots a whole lot But what I do they are Brunt's Josh wears his boots all the time and Danny Just got his first pair of Brunt's about a month or two ago And he actually loves it. Now. These are the boots like Josh has even more kind of like shoes, but how you like there? They're good. They don't hurt. There's zero break-in time I've got painful issues in my feet sometimes and these don't make that happen It's the only pair of shoes I've worn in years that at the end of the day They feel the same as they did when I got here I would trust what Danny says cuz Danny has been wearing boots for at least 60 65 years. Thank you They have a boot for every application plus Brunt is way more than boots front workwear has shirts Long sleeves short sleeves beanies pants socks all kinds of stuff So Brunt is a lot more than just work boots plus Brunt believes in our work boots so much if you get your Brunt work boots and you just absolutely hate them you can send them back and I'm guessing they do that because they know you're not gonna Send them back because you're absolutely gonna love them and you'll notice if you go on a lot of job sites a lot of people are Wearing Brunt work boots and there's a reason for it because they're absolutely awesome But Brunt makes the best quality boot for the best possible price So go to Brunt workwear comm slash CJ race 10 to get $10 off your first order of over $60 That's Brunt workwear comm slash CJ race 10 for $10 off your first order. Thanks Brunt for sponsoring today's cars on the jig and Taylor and Kyle got this thing all squared up leveled up and this is ride height Ideally if we're building a car like this from scratch we'd set the rocker a little bit lower than that, but we talked about the rear suspensions only gonna allow for so much and Subframe connectors and stuff if we lowered this Rocker to three inches that would be on the ground. So we got about five inches on a rocker still not terrible It's gonna look really good Taylor's trying to figure out the the frame rail height Which all we're gonna do basically is match that Rear crossmember that the torque arms attached to and run it parallel up to the front So what's it measure three and a half ish to the bottom? Yeah, that's it Three and a half. Yeah Did you measure off that aluminum or did you measure the table? Okay Alright, we'll go three and a half to the bottom and run that forward and that'll be good for the Strut mounts and stuff like that. So we'll get those in first square them up. You already got a mid plate hoop man Yep, we'll notch it. Yep. Cut a mid plate. Yep aluminum. Yep We set this monster in there and see see how it looks. We're also We might as well maybe I'll get you to do this Kyle. We'll cut this out We're just gonna cut it on this side cut it on that side and get it out of the way sounds like a plan That's why we took the windshield out because this is all kind of sort of Patch together factory stuff again. That's what you got to do when you have rules. We don't have any rules stock ish stock ish And now it's not gonna be stock at all ish up here. So well back here. It's gonna be stopping. Yeah Yeah Not oh, yeah, if you want we'll measure, you know, how long the frame rails need to be I'd run them just wait Yeah, we always just make them real long we usually have a clamp up here and a clamp there for them I don't know that we'll get one there. We may be able to get one there if we can let's run one there Maybe we'll see and then we just not just straight into the crossmember. That's already there We'll run them way out long for now set the engine and figure everything else out All right. Well, we're over here cameras getting ready to cut the mid plate. We already got everything drawn We figure out the engine height me about ten and a half inches the crank height, right and the top RFA today That's kind of we don't do a ton of nitrous engine So I want to make sure he was on the you know Thought kind of similar to what I did figured out the engine location front the back We're gonna try to get it to 84 inches mid plate axle. We have to push it 85 to get the leg room That's okay, too But you don't want to weigh out like where the factory firewall was like 87 88 and he's getting ready to cut this But I want to give a big shout out to compressed air systems. I was out of town We had a compressor go bad Josh bought another compressor on marketplace. Anyway, we had it wired up It lasted two days and blew up. I'm out of town again, and these guys came the same day and brought us this and now It's not like you can't hear it at all But the fact that Josh when got from there the compressor in the building, I was extremely nervous. This thing's quiet nice They got hooked up and I think these guys have been a business like don't quote me It's a family business Local to us for a hundred years. These guys are awesome They came in huge car guys and talked to us months ago and at the time we didn't think we needed a compressor But when we did they got us this unit hooked up quickly, and I think it's got even a dryer built in built-in dryer This is by far the nicest thing we've ever had. This is the nicest Compressor by a lot. So I want to give these guys shout out We're over here cutting and four of us were conversating. I said we got to talk about our new compressor You guys need a compressor get with these guys again family-owned business I think their grandpa or great-grandpa started this business a long time ago great group of people So shout out to compress there. I mean that big blue compressor We used to have that burn up for it looks like it's from the 80s It came from I bought it you yeah, and it was super old then and they were the ones who maintained it and sold it To the original owner, correct? Yeah Yeah, they do it just clicked off. I'm quiet. I think it's quiet right here. We're all talking I know that and they they brought airlines that that's what they're gonna do next. Oh, yeah, we need it When you have a factory floor car and you got a weld something underneath it gets a little tricky, huh Taylor, yeah Well those frame rolls back there at least get a tack on them. We can do some welding once they come out Ready How much? So Try to figure out engine location when we talk about that It's basically center of earth to the back of the engine like the mid plate, right? And the factory where it was before is out here. Well, that's gonna be probably farther than we'd like it's a lot of weight really far out front there's a Good balance between it's gonna wheelie or there's not enough rear weight percentage. It won't transfer weight So I think we want to go back a few inches farther than that But what we're worried about is that before the pedals were basically against the firewall So if we went back he's gonna lose legroom James's got pretty long legs, you know, not a short person so But what we notice is we're putting a carbon bucket seat on this thing from the canvas and if you look here We got like four inches between the head The back of where his head's gonna be. Oh, wow. Yeah, so I think We'll be okay, right? So remove him back. We'll move the engine back He'll still have the same legroom and we'll have the engine location we want So again with this engine way in whatever way 675 650 700, they're they're head. They're massive Yeah, we want to get it pretty low compared to like a the engine and Eagles gonna be a lot higher than this And we'll have strut cups to adjust it for tuning because believe or not a quarter-inch crankshaft height half-inch makes a difference So we'll have that adjustability. We will be able to move it back. We'll just move his seat back right now Taylor's put the frame rails in and then we have our mid plate cut right here And now if Taylor mathed everything right, which if you didn't we'll cut it out and we'll do another one make it look like you did This here should sit directly on top of this frame rail, which it is gonna be a little off now Well, hmm math ain't math. Well, we had to add some shimmy. That's right. You can put this in a mill You just open that so basically it's gonna put the engine too high so All right, well We'll have to adjust that a little bit But what we're basically trying to do is get these frame rails in here get this opened up Set the engine down in there and we'll set the angle we want the engine at and get it front to back, correct? And then we can start fabricating. I'm also gonna get up here a second So that's gonna be in our way. So I think I got my saws off with a fresh blade. Ooh, we'll cut that out Fine tooth blade fine to precision work. Yeah. Okay. So, all right, we're gonna do that. Hopefully get this engine in here For now, I'm just gonna cut this out of the way because then what we'll do basically, it's like the factory Firewall stuff again. It's gonna be hard to tie sheet metal on that. So we'll run a 3-ace tube We'll put the windshield in so it has a correct contour We'll fit a 3-ace tube. We'll we'll roll it to fit the bottom nice Tack it in on both sides and then we'll make sheet metal come directly off the bottom of that To be honest, if I was Jack Stan, which we'll have to talk about this I wouldn't put that factory looking dash back there. I mean, it's cool, but we don't need that work going either I mean, it's not it's not that anymore. Well that is an ultra street car to a Real deal race. Yeah that and I'm sure this car could shed a few pounds, too yeah, I mean that dash is a caustic dash and it's super light, but So this is like a this is not that anymore. He don't he don't need that where he's going We're just trying to get that away You put my yeah, we gotta keep them in number two. Oh, yeah street car. This is still a street car. Yeah Yeah, it's just Yeah, it's fine You don't bent the brand-new blade bud Well me and Josh show you how to do that, it's perfect I'd be scared No face, I'm sure he has safety glasses. I know I'm thinking you actually practice our safety It's probably the opposite of safety to wear those in the shop These are you But I mean I can see just fine You are the first person I've ever seen to straighten out a blade though, like You've only got one blade left so make this This way Jackson's gonna leave with nothing he came here with we just keep working this way. This is a constant problem around the shop That's that There it goes Got to figure out where the end goes We're gonna start at 84 and see how far back that is We'll just swear down on the rear end and then run up for 84 inches head across 84 is exactly where this aluminum plate is like exactly Yes Wow Which is which is crazy we probably could go What are you doing? He's Man, can't have no nice. You can't read half of it. Well, we were all way at 84. It's safe down there It was good down there not used up much. That's that's why Well, my math doesn't math you can't read it All right, so we'll do All right, so in theory Yeah, that's still farther back than it was before I think oh Mmm Let's see which tape measure he used on this Snug as a bug Snug as bug in a rug. Yeah, I think so We probably could go 83, I don't know I think 84 is probably where I need to be That's where it's going, all right, let's put the Put the mid plate on the engine and then set this behemoth over here. See what it looks like It's gonna look large Large large and in charge I don't think Chevy ever intended for this here Camaro to have a This is about three times the size of my purchase. Oh, yeah, it's That thing is massive It just looks like a big wrecking ball on the end of this hoist Shoo Loudy Look at it Think so Straight in coming coming go to your left. All right I'm straight in Okay bump your bump bump your force that way other way All right He's down These are on down alright, I Don't know where to where to where to put anything yeah, there's a lot of Tubes and hoses in there If you can get it set on something Yeah, listen you can get it set on something you can unhook the straps in the back and then I can pick up just the front to get it level Gotcha. Gotcha Go up. Okay. All right, come down come down. I'm gonna get the other side Yep Where do you want this? I think we'll go zero or one. That's what I was I was thinking here I don't need it's not that low All right Keep going just barely. All right, hold that hold that Look at that, dude That is nuts, I mean it looked big before but once you put it like in something it looks insane All right, sit that down. See where we're at Let's say in your point too high at the crank Okay I think it's a little ridiculous sitting in there. It's a whole lot of motor Look at the exhaust ports like Perspective like I wear like an XL gloves. Yeah, I can almost put my fist in that thing And then we're gonna have a five gallon bucket Oil container. Yeah Now we did say that we had to raise this frame or a little bit the half-inch so that Crank should be a little high if you want to measure it We want to we want to shoot for ten and a half and we can raise it to 11 But it's probably a little high right now. We're at 11. Yeah, so it's a half-inch exactly So we will have to just pop it back out Mill that pop it out and lower it down a half-inch which is as easy. That's not the end of the world We'll just put it in the mill mill that out, but it's in there Look at this thing. Look how big this thing is I know it's great. That's that's saying something too These are Difficult engines the tune they are hard on parts very if you've never seen a pro nitrous car with an engine like this and a bullhorn and just hanging like a This thing will hang like a six-foot flame. Oh, yeah out the header and the whole path just at night. It's so cool Yeah, these are like one of my favorite cars there to watch at night. It's hard to beat one of these How big are the how big is a bull horn for this thing? It's you know, five or six Yeah, how big are the primaries are what two and shoe that's as big as like you buy a That's probably as big as like a 400 horsepower street car Like if you buy a car from the dealer, that's the whole exhaust out the back. Oh, yeah on each. I mean most each mold Crappy Fox bodies. They have two and a half inch all the way out the back, you know and that's just the whole the whole car not the Individual primary I know We start building the headers it's gonna get interesting because there's not a lot of room but we're gonna trim this back So we do have some room It's not gonna be as bad as it would have been if we want to try to like scout the stock frame rails and stuff Like that, but yeah, that's uh, that's it That thing's in there and that's gonna do it for today's video Make sure if you haven't go to CJ race cars comm every five dollars get you one entry into the giveaway and we're already more Than halfway over we added a 20-foot tilt deck trailer and now you got an option for all kinds of stuff So go over there get your entries. We appreciate the support. Thanks for watching. We'll see you on the next one We just added this trailer to our giveaway and we wanted to test the winch and make sure it worked, right
