xxwhiteneonxx's project log! because racecar!

[XxWhiteNeonxX]

Your father isn't using a frame machine and hasn't been for 30 years? He instead uses a tree in the backyard?

he has had a frame machine and can get ahold of one at any time. but when you dont have one you learn to improvise. just because its not the way most people do it doesnt mean its wrong. if you would have went to vo tech for collision repair, they actually tell you about how you can use trees. and btw im using a backhoe to straighten mine

[TheRandom1]

You went to a school that told you half-assing and using wrong equipment is an acceptable way to repair a car? Did they tell you that JB weld is an OK alternative to actually welding in your front end as well?

I understand time on a frame machine is expensive, but if you can't afford to do it right, buy a car without front end damage. It's very simple.

actually my dads best friend has a frame machine that i can use for free (have to drive an hour though) ask others on here for their opinion on the matter. using a tree isnt half assing anything.

btw gtfo you bombing my thread with useless shit! idfc if it is or not. me and my crooked jb welded car will have our fun

[TheRandom1]

I'm not bombing your thread with useless shit, I'm telling you that you're using wrong tools to do a VERY IMPORTANT job. Do you use a screwdriver as a hammer? Or grill cleaning brush to comb your hair? Shampoo to wash your body? No? Then why use a backhoe to stretch your car out when you have FREE ACCESS to a frame machine?

Telling people it's OK to half ass their shit like this is going to get people killed when they try it too.

i have my own use for certain objects. screwdrivers=stabbing people backhoes=to run people over and frame machines= kinkey times with the gf old spice=both shampoo and body wash

Such recovery after being butthurt.

Dude, drive the hour and spend the day repairing it right. Otherwise you'll be all "Oak trees aint shit. I'm using a Maple tree after this front end inevitably falls back apart."

My opinion matters. Every car we had has had frame damage.my car was so bad we couldn't get it straight here, had to take it to workb to use the laser system.

You will probably never be spot on. You under pull then over pull. Everytime you pull it back and forth weakens it more.

Before we had this frame machine dad found one to use.. Didn't use anything else.
By your measure we could fix anything with a chain hammer and a tree.

You may get it close but it will never be spot on. It probably won't make alignment. And will drive down the road crooked.

thank you

Those rails look amazing, gives me hope that i might get mine sort of straight. STILL haven't talked to my dad about it yet.

[LilSparkPlug]

if you would have went to vo tech for collision repair, they actually tell you about how you can use trees.

I have an associates degree in autobody/mechanics but during my frame classes was actually never taught that. Interesting concept. I've worked at body shops where the tards couldn't get stuff close enough to bolt the bumper back on WITH a frame machine. Best of luck

well when my father was younger he couldnt afford a frame machine when he started doing rebuildables so he used any means nessacery. he has used trees and got cars perfectly straight. im not saying its the correct way to do it but if it gets the job done and saves me money then i dont care

picking up more parts tomorrow

[TheFrette87]

picking up more parts tomorrow

Let's get some of those parts ON the car first

[XxWhiteNeonxX]

picking up more parts tomorrow

Let's get some of those parts ON the car first

tomorrow im picking up a new front bumper, new fenders, and new grill pieces( leaving one set chrome and the other set black.) all for 225!!!


btw if anybody needs grill pieces pm me i can probably get you a set

[TheFrette87]

not going to buy body parts until i actually get this thing pulled, just to be on the safe side. My dad might be able to get a discount vs. what i'd get somewhere else.

you really need to get rid of the dual fart cans it makes the car look like back to the future

[LilSparkPlug]

Yeah start installing parts...lol hoarder

[XxWhiteNeonxX]

my bad

[XxWhiteNeonxX]

painted the grill pieces



drilled out more of the spot welds

[TheFrette87]

I didnt put them on, that's what the car had when i bought it. Trust me, they're trash, and make it sound like shit, but an exhaust is the last of my worries atm.

Did you use a special bit for drilling out spot welds? I read somewhere there's a special bit. Just wondering if it makes any difference.

yes there is a special bit. ill post a picture of the bit i used

EDIT:

[TheRandom1]

You don't have to use the bit though, a regular drill bit will work just fine. Add some tape to the end of the bit so you don't go all the way through the sheet metal.

this way will work but, if you can get ahold of the correct bit it will make it alot easier

[TheRandom1]

Agreed.

[TheFrette87]

Thanks.

[XxWhiteNeonxX]

Thanks.

no problem man
