Anyone know the history on this car. Sounds like it came out of AZ or Cali and these guys bought it at an auction on the cheap.

That looks like a JP designs car. Jesse probably knows the history.

Those guys are clueless.

It was very hard to watch as they barely had any idea what anything was.

The entire weight of the front end was carried by 4 nearly parallel tubes almost exactly perpendicular to the load path from the suspension...?

Yeah, they’re definitely clueless, but I think that’s kind of the point. They’re YouTubers catering to the average American viewer, probably leaning into the “we don’t know what we’re doing” thing just so they can stretch it into more content as they figure it out on camera.


That said, I really hope they actually do a proper repair. It’s starting to look like one of those giveaway companies that slap something together just to move T-shirts. Hopefully they don’t end up handing someone a death trap.

I think they have a major bulkhead upgrade for that frame. My buddy had his do the same thing years ago. Cant imagine all that punishment on just those 4 tubes. Yikes!

Neither could the tubes, LOL.

Once @Goatpoker is done being balz deep in a three-foot Puerto Rican he might be able to comment on the build of that car as well.
