Thank you for sharing.

Awesome video. Brought me back to the hundreds and hundreds of times my dad and I worked on his midget in the garage. Or helping my uncle work on his sprint car in NZ.🤙 🤙

Cool Build! I just finished working on an old Monogram sprint car model from the eighties and researched a lot of pictures.The biggest surprise is how little has visibly changed to sprint cars in all these years. Downtubes, upper cage tubes, safety seat, knee protection, fire system, and front brakes were the biggest visual changes. The actual chassis geometry looks pretty much the same. There's probably more the naked eye can't see, but appearance is everything! Like the bulldog!

Coming together, and that's a good way so far, all right and torqued one bolt at a time. Better slow and right, then fast and crashed. Hope that guy hooks ya up with the 270.

Aside from a few extra tubes for safety, it's amazing how few tubes they get away with probably due to using cage and front down tubes for beam stiffness.

Thank you Thomas for showing us how you put together a sprint car. It was an awesome watch❗👍🙂

1 more part to this build coming next week!

Tmez, brought back some great memories when Jim, Andrew and I were putting together our cars and racing you and others at the weekly shows at Gas City, Kokomo and The Burg. Keep up the great work bud!!

Always watch your videos when I fire up need longer videos

Got that 90's music bumping.

Love there videos brother! My kids and I watch from Christchurch NewZealand. #Respect

Great idea for a video! keep up the killer work man

Dude, i sure appreciate your shop videos, as well as the vids from the track. I just built my first wingless sprint last year, it was super fun. Mid season i got in a chain of tire jumps and had a guy bounce up and i jumped his tire and ended up yard saling it. Ended up building another car (Maxim), which was unplanned to finish the season. Im enjoying these shop vids as i can take away some of your tips and ways of doing things. I appreciate ya man, keep it up and good luck this year!

Grade 8 racing… we roll like that as well. We also use a similar wooden rear axle holder in our shop too! Thanks for always posting great content. Love getting our notifications of fresh TMez content!!! ❤❤❤

Another great video. Would love to live close to someone’s shop that didn’t mind me hanging around watching and learning. Until then I’m depending on you Tmez. 😂

Thanks for putting this out I have always wanted to see this being done. I am looking forward to meeting you this summer at a track. This is the best channel on KZread by far. 🤓

This is awesome! And I have s many questions. Looking to move up from .25 midgets, I have no idea on the bigger cars

Thomas a good 305or410 for local racing to play with, I know the 305 class here at the local track draws some cars and they will fly, the 410s are raw power flat footed on a lil 3/8 mile banked track is a rush. I've wrenched sprints, micros late models from the mid 70s until 2012 I really miss it.👍🇺🇸🏁🤘

850 HP 1400# ya gotta love it!

YULP... That's How I Would Have Done It... 😂🤣😂

Thanks for sharing.

1000hp in a non wing sprint car! Now I want to see some in car video when that bad boy gets rolling!

Come on don w. Give it up 🤙🤙

This video is awesome! Please, more of this. I love learning more about the behind the scenes. What would be the actual elapsed time of what you did in this video?

I was thinking about selling it but now I might put a create Ls motor in it and do a driving school or rental at Puttnumville. KZread channel has me wondering if it wouldn’t make more sense to do something with it or sell it. 🤷‍♂️

@@tmezTv a rental would be cool. I'll start saving my penny's now. Lol

I'm not asking to be a D but truly curious. Why not use heim safety washers or heim spacers? No need to cut bolt heads and allows for proper heim rotation. I come from a world where there is over 3 ft of wheel travel and all the heims require the spacers for proper travel. Spacers or washer seems easier than latheing a bolt or hand grinding it.

Nearly all these sprint car frames are made in China, from Chinese steel. Makes you feel real safe

Hi, okay, what's a bird cage, i am totally new to building a sprint car. What is the best frame to get. What do you run ?

oh you are showing a build for those curious about it and asked about it, thanks tom its a lot of work, and time out of your schedual to film and edit. and show just how much goes into it thanks :}

@@tmezTv yes though I imagin it would be a lengthy process putting it all togather. I like the aspect of how things are created or what goes into them the process even if I cant well execute some things myself, as never had the opratunity to learn, or little to try, like mig welding or hot riveting

Teach me. Lol

Thanks Tom!

I credible talent. Have you ever tried? It takes a mevhanical geniuos to fabricate a rolling competitive racer like this. Only a gew ralented people can pull this off - from prchasing ybe steel to time trials.
