hey guys welcome back to Full Tilt Drift
today starts the first day of
fabrication month this is Fabrication
101 and today we're going to be making a
skid plate for the S 14 out of this
piece of metal right here. and get it nice
and fitted up in there so we have better
air flow through the engine bay and
protection for the oil pan. today we're
going to look at taking up metal cutting
it pouring it to a certain degree on a
budget without many tools first up
whenever you're doing a big piece like
this is you want to use a template. we've
got this big piece of cardboard that's
just about the same size of this, so we
can go in there, get this up, make our
measurements with this then do the final
cut on that.
good morning guys it's Saturday morning
at the preparation we can put events
next weekend and right now we're up the
bed with the flash up we're hoping to
get metal first dip blade tips for a
batch bar and probably some stuff picks
up the table so I can make video about
that for you guys so we're we're going
right now with IMS this giant metal
supply warehouse I feel they've got
brand new pieces for you to pick off of
but we're going early because they have
a scrap section which is a lot cheaper
and it usually has pretty good selection
we also just hooked up the turbo
yesterday and we haven't really gotten
to drive it around yet so this will not
only be the maiden voyage for the GoPro
but I'm also the turbo on the real
vision I guess like I said when I'm a
veteran
this right here is from area all the
extra metal
like Motown Quentin
that
so I'm going to give you a little look
around real quick we've got deal too
Lawlor to Bremen
aluminum plays
mobile play Pablo play diamonds late
we got everything so as long as you get
here when the scrap metal is going good
you're all set now we're gonna get the
car jacked up get a cardboard fitted in
there actually how would Park measure
exhibit and then we're going to do a
final cut all right let me show you guys
what check out that blue bar right
there's like a fan and it a can see it's
just a little lower than my sway bar
making it a little part of my friend
that's not going to be okay if I can
really do
so we put some protection you can keep
the bolt smooth lined up on the bottom
of the air cooler here and on the
subframe right here so it should reach
all the way from the intercooler here
covering the sway bar the oil so let's
get this mucked up on the cardboard and
then I'll show you how we transfer to
the metal
alright guys we got our cardboard all
fitted up how we want it let me show you
how we did that and how it looks now
before we transfer it onto the metal
okay so here in effect is our skid plate
right now it's the cardboard cut up so
the way we got this all fitted up is we
put just a little bit of Loctite
on the head of the bolts and then we fit
it up the cardboard piece took it down
and we had an exact plot of where the
bolt holes needed to be so now we're
going to take the cardboard skid plate
off and work on the metal one alright so
this is a better shot of that cardboard
that we're going to be using and you can
see the four bolt holes also and where
they line up we're going to measure the
distance between all of these and then
mock it up onto our metal skid plate
before we drill holes or anything all
right we've got our whole dome our stuff
we measured them horizontally vertically
and diagonally we're going to drill the
whole thing you'll see how it fits us
all right guys just wanted to show you
real quick when you're taking drill bits
or some bolts the easiest way I found to
do it when you don't have something to
measure the bolts it's to hold the bolts
up to your eye and take the drill bit
and hold it behind it when you finally
get one that is just slightly bigger
than the bolt threads that's when you
know you're set
all right we help skip way up against
the bottom of the car and it looks like
it's pretty good but we're going to
throw some slots on the hole so it's
easier to install and then get it on
there alright guys what we're trying to
do now is make a cut along this line so
that's were able to bend the plate so we
want to put one Bend up in so that it'll
rise up to where the intercooler is
instead of using like some really long
bolts or something so we're going to
make not a deep cut not even halfway
through the plate maybe a third of the
way across with an angle grinder and
then try and give it a best the real key
here is trying to make it even Bend all
the way across all right guys we've got
a pretty good even cut all the way
across so now we're going to shove the
big part in between the back tires and
wheels to get some weight on top of it
and then we're going to use something
long like a 2x4 or two two by fours to
clamp that and try to bend it up
leverage my friends
alright guys we have the skid plate the
Mustang nine of us we just need to take
care of one more thing as you can see
here just dislike things over with a
lower control I'm just going to go when
the suspension sags so we're going to
take a section of that off and I'll show
you that here are the foxes we're going
to be cutting out that's going to allow
an arm to be moving this way and not get
caught up on the skid plate and this
line right here is where we're putting
our second crease we're going to cut
these out first and then run a solid cut
along this line and do the same thing we
did before with the two by fours and try
and get a bit this is what we're going
to be doing with it's just a cheesy
Harbor Freight angle grinder but I've
had it for two years and it keeps
getting the job done so the angle
grinder is great for making small
low-risk cuts where you don't care about
you know a perfectly straight edge we
can come back with the flap wheel or a
file or something and grind it down a
little bit later right now we're just
trying to get these pieces off make sure
it fits and we'll take care that afters
when you're using an angle grinder you
always want to make sure you're wearing
gloves and eye protection because as you
just saw that thing for sparks
everywhere
I suggest also using your protection if
you're not used to it but the gloves and
the eye protection are definitely a must
all right now we're going to put the
horizontal cut
this case we're at here in the front
yard Z that there was a good place to do
this in the garage or anything we've got
the first Bend hanging off the craft
here I'm going to put my body weight
onto the flat part grab this deleverage
and yank up to bend this piece for that
way we're going to have kind of these
shaped skid plate here that ought to be
good voila v-shape skip plate
alright guys and that is a fully
installed skid plate it's always a rock
soup I can kick the hell out of it and
not even tempted alright guys good place
pretty much done I took it out first bit
last night as you can see it already
stopped me from tricky we're going to
make one more cut and Bend up along this
top line so that the part of its
gameplay angles up just in case it falls
or grab something we don't want to say
getting ripped off the bar and then we
should be ready to connect okay so I
actually had the line thrown
you want to make your cut so that after
you bend the metal cut here and the
metal pull upwards it blows up because
LF you cut on the bottom and then
bending upwards then you gotta make a
petal
now children in the angle grinder fan
tailored is also common flatten is to
take some of the sharp edges off here
I'm not going to end up showing you the
grinder right now because you're going
to be a lot more than the upcoming
package all right you got to see a lot
more the grind you're going to the
bachelor bills because we're going to be
a lot of mystic latest in Toledo Nina
painted some other time they put a
couple reinforcements on there the track
are going to this weekend to stay ended
event is rainy Motorsports Park is a
go-kart track out in the desert and
there's they drop offs rocks comment
except you don't like hitting the other
side here car so the pledge be an
excellent addition that was the first
episode for fabricating pump it's like
wasn't a big deal
we're going to get bigger and bigger as
we go on we're doing a batch bar some
more air panels things like that
stay tuned
