XB Coupe goes to the Engineer for Torsion Beam testing Eps 90 How good can it be? will it Pass? 

Yeah I had the confidence it was stronger, but this was above and beyond what I expected , thanks mate

The overall weight of the car is something that I have been thinking about since Tom started to build the car. The car is stiffer with the double sills, that’s good. But it may weigh a bit more. Fascinating journey.

@@panners125 Just thought Id add a little on the topic guys, I'm sure she will weigh more, but not so much because of the sills, I'm sure they will only add another 20kgs max, but for the rear sub-frame built to mount the IRS, and also the front chassis rails had to be plated where the mustang joins the Falcon rails + the United IFS Cross member which is fairly solid , but I'm hoping shes not much more than 100-150 kg's heavier than the stock 1580kg or so for a 302-351 v8 Coupe/ Hardtop ,whatever you like the call them ) The 2016 Mustang is by some reports on the internet around 1773 kg's , but I see that figure varies depending on the website. As long as it isn't heavier than the Modern Mustangs I don't thinks there is any problems, but lets wait and see 🤞

Amazing, we look at cars built in the 70s as big heavy steel tanks but a modern Mustang weighs 200 kilos heavier even with all its modern components, aluminium, plastic and thinner gauge steel 😄. At least any weight gain is all in strength, which will only improve the ride and handling. I'm sure you're not too worried about the fuel economy.

@@rustydog1805 Yeah your right mate, actually the mustangs are built very tough, sure the sheet metal is thin, but the frame work, inner sills inner rear quarter structure and rear subframe all seems to be made from toughened steel, I had to strip the donor car and I soon gave up trying to use drill bits and just blew out the spot welds with the plasma cutter or air hammer

thats one strong Datsun, good to hear from you Derek

Didn't even have any bracing which did on others.

My Pleasure Andrew , thanks alot mate

Hey mate thanks ! yeah I did have the Gossy at a Meguires show Bback then, not sure of the year exactly , cool you remembered , really miss that car, Trick & Mansweto 393 in it, it was Epic

@@phatridesgarage3760 wasn’t your gossy in a few car magazines as well ??

Yes, it was in street fords, but i used a pseudonym for security, ) haha dont ask my why lol. Sold it to a Car collector in Tasmania, he got Tbonded in it, but he was getting it rebuilt last I heard

Cheers mate ! Yeah boot latch is fine now , thanks for watching

I hope before xmas, Im reorganising the workshop and installing a lift

@@phatridesgarage3760 Look forward to it.

Not really , I guess once its finished we will know for sure once compared to factory weights, but im guessing at least 100kg, but then the coyote engine will be almost that much less than a Clevo. I think it should come in somewhere between a stock coupe and a 2016 Mustang GT

yeah much closer now all the hardest work is done

@@phatridesgarage3760 For sure mate. Way above how strong a std Coupe is. Well done.

yeah! couldnt be happier with those results

Hi mate , your question is fair enough, not all my video work is great, in this case I just left some of the footage out, i think you get the idea of whats done. But yes your correct both sides are done the same

Thanks Sam! , oh..........no kisses

Interesting question, time will tell i guess

Yeah mate, a massive tick

Feel better now ? 🤣

Thanks mate ! I appreciate your comment) clowns dont bother me , just treat them that way lol) Im in NSW
