Great show, just enough information, not too much, and not too little. You kept it interesting, thank you.

Thanks for the kind words!

Just absolutely stellar video. Your brother has some good wisdom in asking such simple questions. Also, I think he was 10 at the time.

That’s bad ass nice job I’m going to be starting a 1930 Chevy

Awesome. Good luck with the builld!

Good vid! Subbed. I appreciate that you're not cutting corners on the most important part of the build.

Great Info. I'm building a frame for my 29 sedan. I totally get "start with what you know."

Quality video....keep them coming!!

Your video is awesome. Please keep the good work up.

Thanks! I should have a new one up next week

Awesome video bro glad I found your channel

Bare bones explanation , Very Good ! If you are checking this remember What he has not mentioned is everything needs to be checked to be square on the frame , suspension with the frame... Otherwise you will be crabbing down the road and never align right.

It's a cool build. But the part I would worry about bending is where you have a the rear part welded to the front part in that crossbar. A piece of tube is going to twist like crazy

You're absolutely rite. As it is, it could rip that tubing apart. I am planning a roll bar with down tubes to the rear and doorbars to a dash bar that will tie the frame sections together more. I probably should have mentioned it in the vid in case someone sees this and copies it, but I forgot to talk about it.

Nice details!

Very good quality video. Subscribed!

Great video you are a very good explainer. Also I think this is going to be a unique/cool hotrod I'll will be following !

Excellent video. Showing your work, and the reasoning behind it. Subscribed. And following on ig If they're close enough to notice it, they're close enough to get a boot in the rear. 🤣

A buddy told me that once. It was a great bit of advice that helped me stop obsessing over details that don't really matter.

Nice skills , simply amazing

Hey Chris. Awesome content. Keep it coming! Also, I saw your old Ford body panels leaning up against your house outside, and just wondering if you have plans for that stuff, or maybe??? Thx

Thanks! The old body panels are all from this project and I'll be putting almost all of them back on eventually.

Are you in Southern California? I'm about to start hotrodding a '29 Tudor sedan, not sure which way I'm going to build it yet though.

I am yea. I love those Tudor sedans, they look really good when they're built. It's tough deciding though. The traditional look is best in my opinion when it's just about looks. Unfortunately a lot of the traditional stuff just doesn't cut it when it comes to performance. For example, i love the look of a dropped and drilled front axle, but a straight axle can't compete with a good IFS when it comes to handling.

Hello Chris!! Good info. Could you let me know how long were your engine rails? Thanks

@chris_the_carman

From the firewall to all the way to the front my frame rails are 42.5 inches. Keep in mind, this is longer than a stock model A frame because I'm using a much bigger engine.

I'd like to ask a couple questions or however it turns out to. I am a seventy three year old was mechanic on heavy equipment plus fab some stuff... about this time of tig welding I got myself completely mangled up so haven't walked since two thousand five. So I like pretty as much as the next guy and my stick welds were rightly excellent... so my question is how strong is a tig weld compared to stick or mig?

@chris_the_carman

Done correctly of course, any of the three will be plenty strong for anything on a car. The big advantage TIG gives is control. While welding you can control the amperage and the exact amount of filler metal you want. Being able to control the heat and filler separately allows for more precision. The other nice thing is no sparks. The downside is that it's a lot slower and more expensive. In all honesty the main reason i used my TIG welder instead of my MIG is just because i like TIG welding. It's a challenge and it's fun. If i was on a deadline? I'd go MIG all the way.

@@chris_the_carman I can tell this is not yer first rodeo and your eager to show nice work. I never gave a thought about every demonstration I have seen is the amperage and how much the breaker will hold so its most likely a forty amp breaker or the two twenty versus one ten voltage. I would surely love to try it as I am a curious old fart.... gnarly that my kidneys picked this time to fail, and land me on hospice.. not dying but ya know, doctors will not prescribe pain management till its time to shoot yerself its seeming like.. Not to fear or worry as this old alaskan has rode a few ruff roads before.... I do like what I have seen so far and did subscribe

​@@morgansword Thanks for the kinds words and the sub. Sorry to hear about your health. I don't consider myself a welding expert but if you want to learn more about TIG i've learned a lot from this guy's channel www.youtube.com/@weldingtipsandtricks
