where did you aluminum sheets from?
You should use a hockey puck when you jack it up, so its not metal on metal. Saves car parts and makes jacking easier
A very anal comment but Chris we know you know across is across and not acrossed or some even say acrosst yes with a t. Anyway. Just say it right
I hope one day to see a 2-stroke diesel Prius on this channel. Recycle an old engine, and a knackered Prius in one go!
the knocked over spray bottle in the background is a tripping hazard, you should take care of that
Should have designed some form of corrugation, or bending some lines into it to make it more rigid, still could.
Chris, please don't forget the eye protection when you're drilling/grinding! Hate to see you end up like idiot I know 🙁 that ended up with a small bit of metal lodged in his eye….Which the eye docs had to remove and then take a dremel to my…errr…I mean his, cornea!……trust me that sucked!….
A fellow Evora owner in VA…
Bead role some beads into it, it will help stiffen it up.
5 grand winnings get a hoist
“acrosst"
do you want this to be your daily?
just one construction advice….probably it would be good if you reinforce that big flat sheet, it would wobble, and you will hear it..anyway, nice work!
I put adblock on paus just for this channel. I watched a insurance ad and ended up buying it… Maybe i should stop using that program
A 2"x4" is not expensive and will save you all sorts of damage when jacking up the car!!!
I wish I could do what you do, you are so inspiring
get a plexiglass windows it will be better then glass it is harder to brake then glass
No jack stands >_>
What does a front under tray do for a car
Instead of using a marker on the bolt head to mark out holes you can do this:
Put the bolts in (as you did) – line up the material against the bolt heads (as you did) – but the have some strong round magnets, use these on the other side of the bolt heads, the material will then be sandwiched between the head and magnet.
Then use a marker on the other side and draw a circle around the magnet – then you circle centre will be the bolt hole 😉
Hope it is understandable!
But it won't work on steel, only non magnetic materials.
Chris, this is coming along nicely, Did I just watch you under the Evora without any form of jack stand etc? never get under a car relying on only a jack. We are along time dead mate so play safe. cheers
You could hold the spacers in place with a tiny dab of glue.
your link to vote doesn't show your car. so I can't vote
Nice work! If I can offer some constructive criticism… Next time you're working with aluminum, try to avoid cutting out portions with square corners. If you can, cut a radius as the corner instead of a hard 90. In this case the areas cut for wheel clearance could have included a radiused corner. Aluminum can sometimes crack at corners, especially under vibration and flex. Excellent work as always!
You can also use C.A.D to do that. Cardboard Aided Design. 🙂
