In todays episode were doing some roll cage research, were working on frame rails, and were talking the end of the insurance case on the tow truck driver accident.

Insurance guy told me that it is a business decision what you do with insurance money received
Went to shop to try and get advice, then proceeds to ignore all of it, DURP!
I wish I knew what a gambler car is
Dont know why people dog you out you are a smart man and i thought the cage was awsome bud
Did i hear a V10 in a Z?!
Once you accept the payment you accept the deal.
Glad the insurance company is working with you. Remember, they never ever lose money. When they say they’re done, they’re done. Did you know the insurance companies decide what direction the sun sets in….lol
Duuuude.. you are local to me! niiice. My friend has a '82 280ZX and I own a "87 Fastback Fiero. subbed and will follow the channel, any tips on local shops and stuff would be awesome!
What app are you using for your modeling
It would be called a double Z'ed frame. You are doing good. Can't wait to get through the rest of the episodes.
Like I said, The comments section is 'full of pros'. Don't waste too much of your time satisfying internet engineers. Good work.
Prowler no unicorn
Like what you are doing big fan man .
Hate to do this but 18:28 for the title of the video
Hey Chris, saw you were struggling with the Porta Band Saw, SWAG offroad makes Porta Bandsaw tables, you should hit them up and check them out. V3 works with the Bauer you have.
lucky for you the damage on the BMW and Mercedes are things you can do yourself so that saves a lot of money there
Why don't you start using a bandsaw ? It's not that expensive and it's perfect for what your're doing. it's very precise and if you add a bit of weight to it, it'll cut itself

shouldn't you put the front drops where they can grab the bolt holes for the rear of the front sub frame to allow you to finish bolting that up?
i think it's cool you use Max for your plans, but as a convert from Max to Vectorworks, i can tell you, moving into a proper CAD platform, is SO much better for things like that. you should give it a look, or even Autocad or fusion, i like VW for some of the tools it has for my industry but it'd work great for what your doing too.
chris don't stress about what you disclose to us about the insurance situation, you explained it well and don't owe anyone anything more than you told us.
Hey chris, check out the way these guys brace the door, looks pretty good http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/79649-progress-on-my-insane-vq35hr-240z-project/?page=3

This guy built a similar 280z from scratch u could get alot of tips on how to build ur https://youtu.be/f0vb8JFwFog
I do have to admit it you have a sh$t ton of internet engineers comment on your builds

In what world? IN WHAT WORLD would there EVER be an unbalanced force pushing on the middle of the frame rail?! I can't believe that is the reason they won't be widened! Not to mention there will be a cage preventing them from being able to deform upwards.
The engine mounts had me triggered enough, but now I'm just absolutely baffled. It's been weeks and I just can't subscribe to this channel. The lunacy knows no bounds.
Thanks for being honest about the Insurance
BUY A PROWLER FOR THE NEXT BUILD
Measure once, cut twice.. oh wait… 🙂
You think it's going to more then 2400 to straighten the body? I think you're nuts, this coming from a guy who has had cars in body shops through their life.

Did he say there's nothing going on in front of the pedal box? Does he realize he doesn't have any manifolds/exhaust on the motor…? B is for Busted!
Now look like a car lol
Here in Australia, Once you have excepted the offer from an insurance company you cannot ask for more money later. You have to reject their first offer until you're happy with the money or go to court.
Dry owe you 10k for the time lost
I’m sure you’ve seen people comment this already but I highly recommend you check out Street Banditos build on their carbon fiber 240z. They have many cool tips and trick and maybe you might want to even carbon fiber the fairlady like them? Keep up the good work. Really inspiring
150 year old roll cages must be bad ass. Forged with old horse shoes. HAHA
Curious why you don’t use a cutoff saw? I have really good success with all kinds of fabrication using one ..ie:
https://bestpowersaws.com/steel-chop-saw-for-certain-uses/
I would have stepped the frame rail outboard to the stock rocker panels of the Z. Would have been much tidier and far better for seat room and not having frame dangling under the rocker area
that happened fast it took 6 months to settle my insurance case
So glad you went out for a second opinion. You might not like the criticism but you can always repair cars but not bodies
Nice build. Bro. Greats from Holland
Really hope this comes out better than the RX7, saw the car in person, man, lots of shortcuts and didnt even finish the paint properly, leaving runs all over.
The shell is twisted, the doors won’t close, the car won’t seal properly!!!!
Okay um u probly not into paint yet but pearl midnight blue you should look into
This frame cutting thing is getting dumb, you better restart it clean from scratch
Very nice job!!!
