Derek Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 So I posted this in another thread but figured I should put it here. They are doing a AWD conversion on a Mini Cooper. The fab work is really amazing. The video series is entertaining and really filled with a ton of great ideas. Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLave Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I have been one of their patreon supporters for some time. Great project, amazing, simple (relatively) techniques. They proved you don't need super fancy equipment. Five stars, would watch again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Agreed. I actually ended up watching episode 1 again when I posted it. Any idea when episode 16 will be dropping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkumaNoZeta Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Thank you for sharing. I don't get on Youtube anymore and this is very entertaining and informative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetsaz Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. It's amazing how much they accomplish mostly with tools a lot of people have. Honestly almost makes me want to learn fabrication and do that. What am I doing being a music teacher? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiff Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Just don't hold your breath waiting for new episodes though. But great show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1969honda Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) I just watched the last episode this morning (15). Now to get my funk on and start building my rotisserie... Edited July 21, 2017 by 1969honda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 It's worth watching just to see the rotisserie. That thing is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1969honda Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 That rotisserie and frame reach is ingenious! They definitely thought that design thru thuroughly with all the different ways to elevate, level and rotate the frame and chassis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkspeed Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It's worth watching just to see the rotisserie. That thing is amazing. That rotisserie is not so hot. Check out my one hand check out spin last week for the rotisserie I designed/built in our shop. https://www.facebook.com/262575520591481/videos/801158750066486/ (I know it is not as nice as theirs, but humor me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLave Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Nice work! I had to weld brake rotors as counter weights to my rotisserie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkspeed Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I miss measured the center of the car in the rear about 4" when building the frame holding fixture. (measure twice, weld once!). So I couldn't quite get the side to side cg exact. If you look close, there is a 4 cylinder crank and some steel ty-wrapped to the passenger door cage. Otherwise if would have worked perfect. I may re-do the fixture later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAndyAndTheSea Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Nick is an absolute maniac. I love it. Some of the best, most creative, fabrication I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
