what's happening guys I'm Curtis and you're watching left foot first this episode we're going to try something new we're gonna try a we're gonna try bending some tubing so the piece of rail start with is going to be the main - hoop that goes over top it's a fairly critical piece because it kind of defines the lines of the car so we'll give it a whirl to start with I kind of a template of what I want the dashboard to look like and then I clamped it in to make sure that we got all of our clearances right it looks okay let's go take a peek of what that looks like so we're clamped onto the chassis here that'll allow us to check to make sure that this this line here is right with the motor height it also allows me to check the driving position make sure the dashboard is far enough away that it won't hit my hands on it all the time so now we'll pull this off and I'll show you how we're gonna actually bend the steel tubing around so we're actually gonna use this shape to bend our tubing around it so we're gonna have to cut a second one of these and then router a groove in the middle and then we'll use that to bend our tubing around this so we get the exact same shape so I'm gonna grab some wood now they've got that the blocks got sanded so that every time I flip it over I'm not really getting much more so I'm going to call them even and symmetrical now we need to cut the groove down the center here in order to do that we're gonna actually split these apart and then take our router router the corner off at three-eighths of an inch there's our group now obviously it would have been better if we could have done this with like a coal bit because ultimately we're trying to get this to be a half moon kind of thing right but I don't have a cold bit that would have worked so now we're gonna take kind of chunk of pipe wrap it the sandpaper and just manually sand this down until it's the right great contour [Applause] we got our formal cut smooth though I also have these these holes kind of all they're round these will allow us to put a seed clamp in here and clamp the tubing down to the form so the next step is we got to go buy some place and to fill up the tubing width and then we have over to my dad's place to do this because he's got a torch and I don't so we'll pick back up its you guys tomorrow and it's tomorrow we're over my dad shop we're gonna bend this piece of pipe first step let's tape the ends off and fill it up with some sanity [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] it's even easier to do it without heat [Applause] we decide that we bent cold he's a lot smoother and the side that we've been with heat last time we were here we made a mess so we're sleeping this time so got this bet it's a little bit too wide I think the spring back kind of it's I don't know two inches too wide maybe so I'm guessing that these arms aren't straight yet so I'm going to put a little bit more of a crayon in the top fine-tune it a little bit and then we'll drain the sand out cut these legs off where they need to be cut and then Walter on the car [Applause] work San Benny worked awesome there's no kinks the curves came over really nice the the bars perfect it's got a bit of a backwards lien on it because I squared it to this down tube not to the actual chassis so leans back a little bit look super AC next we got it we still got doing those motor mounts I got bushings I need to get some tubes machine for them to fit into hopefully I'll have that ready for next week and then we can get started on that if not we'll do something else I'll see you guys
