American GT-R! - AWD Mustang gets Custom CNC Machined Chromoly Axle - Ep 27 

Recently subscribed. After watching so many people F up cars on RU-vid all day, it's satisfying seeing someone engineer and build their own axles for a custom engineered all-wheel-drive system. Hats off. Those are some cool toys too.

It’s awesome that you’re making a very novel and unique modification to your car not just to say you did it and show it off, but to actually make it practical and reliable

Glad to see someone picking up those auctioned toys! Definitely not affordable new for a hobbyist, but used or retrofitted... We are moving into a wild age of automotive tinkering!

I am THOROUGHLY impressed with your enduring tenacity to create and perfect this rare project. I believe FORD may have you on their rec radar by now. Amazing documentation of a truly unknown build.

Awesome content - thank you for this goldmine of information.

I really enjoy watching someone like us that understands how much time and effort that it takes to do good fab work. I think you will really enjoy that supercharger been seeing many coyotes and they put down some power with great response. Looking forward to the next steps keep up the great work.

Splines being cut is soo satisfying. You'll love that supercharger. I def love my Odin.

Amazing. Love the progress. Would absolutely love for this to be a kit one day.

Amazing work! I've been following since the beginning, and I can't wait to see more of this build!

I want to do my own axles... but by adding up all the tooling costs, and its just cheaper to have a pro do them with a warranty.

Man your work satisfies my ocd with how much attention you put into detail. Man I haven't seen a vmp supercharger in a very long while. Every youtuber stopped using them and they faded away like a memory.

Great. Binged the whole series after finding Ep.23 in my suggestion.👍👍 What an absolutely great build, well done, engineered, smartly planned. 👏👏💯 Boost will make it even better.

I truly hope that the engineers at Ford and or Ford performance aftermarket help fund a kit for enthusiast to convert their mustangs over to all wheel drive. The amount of time and effort and brilliant ingenuity that this guy has put into this is inspiring and amazing. I really hope he gets a patent for the parts and pieces that he created so that it can be sold to an aftermarket company or Ford directly

Boosted AWD Mustang. Can't wait!!!

Looking so forward to seeing your awd stang in action

Don’t worry what people say. They’re not you or do what you do. I love following that journey and yes some failures and mistakes will happen it’s normal.

I thoroughly enjoy these videos. I will say, I did get a bit of a neighbor Wilson vibe from Tim The Toolman Taylor. 😅 From a seasoned professional fabricator to an engineer, very nice work. All too often, engineers do not walk the path of executing work in the real world. Nothing but praise here, my friend. Keep the videos coming

Looks great! I'm a year away from graduating with an ME degree and this is the kinda stuff I'd want to do. Would you have any advice for a student looking to get a career in the automotive industry?

OH SNAP!!! can't wait to see it with the supercharger....

Well thank God you had all these internet experts telling you what you were doing wrong, without them, who knows what would have happened. 🙄🙄

you can make splines using a tap as well, have a free moving spindle end and a tap with the correct tpi on the mill and it rotates itself

What a phenomenal channel! Ford needs to hire this guy!!!!

welded AAM1150 shafts, 1.78 square inches of 84'000psi E7018 run +30% above the top of the rod spec just to burn the E7018 into the shaft deeper. two shafts... whatever 13'000lbft looks like. nothing wrong with welded shaft, just need to use the right process. mig is for sheet metal... adding 700 pounds to the rear end and a hypoid locker grips on snow and ice and it all goes down to a... 400'000 mile 4.6 2 valve brakes 1'' shaft. rev N'drop. snow ice pavement ice pavement over and over... 3000 miles and the cv's snap, at the wheel hubs causing the wheel hub to fall off... """sleeved rubber damper blocks on the drive shaft's"""

can you let me know when a neighboring house goes up forsale?

I would fully give my 2018 for RnD

Any plans for coilover suspension and upgraded swaybars, control arms to help it hook even more? Congrats again on such a well engineered and badass build.

Drewtromics probe totally worth it.

thats awesome. I use the newer prototraks at work. keep it up!

A VMP blower! youre nuts!

Will you sell some of the one off fab parts ?

this is going to be insane when its "done"

Saw awd Mustang in the thumbnail. I hit the sub button. Love the content

One of the coolest and most in depth builds/series on here. Thanks for the amazing work!

This dude is a fn genius!!!

Will you offer any axle shaft making services?

I thought the heat treat only went into the material so deep. Warm soft center like a icecream cone?.

loved the detail of your machines and techniques. love what you're doing. keep up the good work!

I have a 2024 Cadillac CT5 V AWD. Any idea how my AWD compares to yours? Any idea how I could learn more about mine?

This is awesome

This is fantastic

Cant believe you dont have more subs this is a truly unique build you could produce a kit a get rich lol

I predict you will get an invite from Cleetus in the not too distant future!

Some questions for you. What is the outside diameter and the number of outside splines for the short "coupler" axle going into the Crysler/Dodge AWD transfer case? Is it possible to buy the original short "coupler" axle from Chrysler? And to be even more a pita, do you have an original part number? I like your solution and I'm looking into doing something similar but using a BMW 8HP70X AWD transmission.

BOOOOOOOOOOOST

Please make a kit.

Glad you went with a positive displacement blower.

BAMF

why not use 4130 , just curious ? was it weldability , hardness , tensile ?anyway , awesome shop , brilliant project

Thanks for uploading again missed the build. I was wondering how this swap would work with the 6R80 or if it would even be possible. Thanks

Another awesome video and thanks for sharing the lathe and milling machine setup. Very cool stuff.

Yoooooooooo!!!!!

I'm looking to make a splined shaft for a project out of 4340, did you go through harden or just to a certain depth? If through, was it tempered?

Thank you, truly facinating and informational!

Why u didn’t just get the splines rolled save a lot of time and then heat treat it

I was literally just thinking about this car last night.

So amazing seeing your progress. Looks great

Great to see progress, I’ve been waiting

That was interesting and the box content at the end 🤩

This build is crazy

Ohhh yeah that’s the stuff 😍😍

Nice, getting there!

Awsome work!

Looking great!

That thing is gonna rip!

Positive displacement blower , great choice for a street car that's made to accelerate. I never had access to a place that could harden my CroMo to a specced hardness range , still don't. What else am I missing out on ?? Thank you for the continued Education
