For some factor, you locate a lot of doubt when it concerns welding things to axle housings. People that do a lot of other fabrication are often scared to do this. I comprehend, as individuals hesitate of contorting the housing, yet that’s not a large worry when welding on tiny points like link brackets. If you were welding a truss or something like that, you ‘d wish to either put an alignment bar with the axle housing, fixture place it, as well as support it to your welding table, or both. This is simply braces, so weld away.With that stated,

making sure you maintain your brackets directly so that whatever is going to place to them will fit, is key. In this video you are going to get details on both scenarios from Ian, so check it out and also learn things. What does viewing videos similar to this provide for your motivation?

Does it inspire you to build something a lot more severe? Let us know. Video Clip Description: Welding out the 4 web link braces on the Spidertrax Fabricated axle real estates on the Bomber Fab car, and also finishing up the front three web link braces on the Dana 60 front for the UA Colorado.

It’s crunch time and that means the thrash begins! Of course, it also tends to mean that corners are about to be cut, shortcuts are about to be created, and sleep is only a dream. Watch.

If you haven’t been to Bonneville to see land speed racing in person, and haven’t gotten to see what is really going on inside the streamliners that run 200, 300, 400, and even 500 mph then you are missing out at a lot of levels. One is the technology and creativity that is brought to the table at these events. This new streamliner project from FastMatt is one of those that you are going to want to check out, and thanks to his videos you get to see it actually coming together and we dig it. Check out Part Three of the build as he goes over all the challenges of putting a drivetrain in this race car here. Sometimes the engines, transmissions, and axles don’t connect real easily and in a car like this space is at a premium. Watch how Matt handles all of it below.

I’ve been attending and racing at, land speed events for nearly 15 years now which is kind of weird and hard to believe. It’s amazing racing, and a whole other kind of experience compared to drag racing, road racing, circle track racing, etc. But there are still a bunch of similarities in all kinds of racing with regards to speed parts, chassis components, etc. How you put them together and make them work together is a different ball game in some ways though, as frontal area and aerodynamics are so critical on a vehicle like this streamliner. With that said, you still have to fit a driver in it that can actually drive while in it. Makes sense right?
