[UnusualFabrication]

Thanks man!

[UnusualFabrication]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have added a few new products to the website. I'll be adding many more over the next few days and this weekend as well. If theres something your looking for but you don't see it feel free to e-mail me. I carry bags, valves, tanks, tabs, brackets, and lots of other stuff thats not listed on the site yet.

[soccerbrace]

Soooooooo clean! I would like to see something you have done that is more off-radish possibly?

[UnusualFabrication]

This is as off-roadish as I have gotten. Its a 96 Ford F-150 that I bagged and 4-linked.

http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=952&pictureid=7386

[lil_redd_again]

Dam man looking good, I really really dig the tranny xmember.

http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=952&pictureid=7386

Sweet! Not my style as far as if he ACTUALLY takes it off road, but I can definitely appreciate your work :) Good stuff! Are you itching to have more experience in the offroad side of things?

[UnusualFabrication]

I make my own parts for my 4x4 rig. I enjoy working on anything really, so if someone came in with an offroad rig I would have no problem working on it. Its nice for a change of pace every now and then.

[nuistyles]

[UnusualFabrication]

If you PM me your shipping info i'll get a quote!

[UnusualFabrication]

Here are some massive spikes that I just turned for a guy, they are close to the size of a pop can!

The bottom is clearanced and threaded so it can screw on the remaining thread and cover the nut, lock washer, and flat washer.
http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=967&pictureid=7737

And here they are finished on my desk.

[sparkinframe]

screw on to what?

[UnusualFabrication]

screw on to what?

A bolt..... These screw onto the remaining threads after the washers and nuts are tightened down.

[sparkinframe]

ok, gotcha.

[UnusualFabrication]

Here is the newest project rolling into the shop. Its belongs to one of the owners of MasterShift, a local preformance transmission shop. I'm building a custom aluminum fuel cell for it to replace the un-coated 8 gallon steel one thats in it now. It also doesn't have a vent tube in it so it takes forever to fill it up with gas!

http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1076&pictureid=8035

http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1076&pictureid=8295

[Mhope]

I love the classic's ^^^^

[JOHN92]

I guess you couldn't talk them into bagging that while you had it there? :)

[UnusualFabrication]

I might be able to but it'll take some time, LOL!

[UnusualFabrication]

So I dusted off the English Wheel and Bead Roller for some tin work on the Panel:

Out with the old...
http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1076&pictureid=8259

I'll have to make a new panel to fill in the hole...
http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1076&pictureid=8260

Starting fresh...
http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1076&pictureid=8261

The edge is flanged and the beads are laid out...
http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1076&pictureid=8262

The beads are rolled, now back to the English wheel to smooth out the panel so it doesn't look like a potatoe chip...
http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1076&pictureid=8263

And with a flat panel I added the holes and cleco'ed it to the body...
http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1076&pictureid=8264

[tt660]

Wow, good work. To bad it's gonna be covered up lol

[UnusualFabrication]

Thanks man, I know it going to get covered up but I still know its there!

[UnusualFabrication]

Working on a couple of aluminum fuel cells:

This one is an extra, 24"x12"x10" (12.5 gallons) with internal baffles. I can add any holes or bungs that you may need. Its all sheared up and just needs to be welded together.
http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1079&pictureid=8296

This one is for the MasterShift Panel, its 20.8 gallons:
http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1076&pictureid=8294

Rear clip hold 5 gallons of air



All your work is allsome but I realy like the rear clip that is used as an air tank. That is just allsome:nana2:I bet thats a real head turner at shows.

[UnusualFabrication]

Thanks man, it does turn a few heads! It's pretty funny to hear people ask the owner where the air tank is.

[UnusualFabrication]

The Panel is finished up and gone now so I thought I would add the last few pictures.

Built and added the sump:

[JunYa]

Hell yeah

[1989D21]

Excellent welding! Do you make front control arms for the hardbody in stock dimensions? For more of a performance standpoint?

[Ven]

Just wanted to say I purchased a LCA kit and some bag mounts from Chris and the transaction was nice and smooth. Communication was good and I received the products in a timely manner. Prices were very good as well. Thanks and I would definitely do business with you again.

[UnusualFabrication]

Are you wanting them to work with the factory torsions or something like coilovers?

Thanks for your purchase Ven and the feedback!

[UnusualFabrication]

My friends 1964 Buick Skylark. I helped him bag it a few years ago as he wanted to learn to do some things and save some cash. I built all the cups and trimmed a spring pocket out for him so he had an idea what to do. He did a good job trimming the other spring pocket and bolting everything up. He dropped it off yesterday to have some front shocks installed so I took care of it.

http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1155&pictureid=8597

Custom rear cups:

All welded in and painted:
http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1155&pictureid=8599

After the mount cooled and the paint dried I installed the new Edelbrock Classis IAS shocks:

[1989D21]

Yeah the torsions, sorry. Nice work on the Buick

[GrantH]

Everything looks really good man, but do you not need straps on that fuel cell??

[UnusualFabrication]

Everything looks really good man, but do you not need straps on that fuel cell??

Nope, that fuel cell cannot go anywhere. Its not like the pre-fab aluminum fuel cells from Summit or Jegs with the four tiny "L" tabs on each corner. Those will fail if not supported underneath. The plastic fuel cells have to be strapped because they don't have mounting tabs to secure them.

[UnusualFabrication]

Yeah the torsions, sorry. Nice work on the Buick

I haven't ever had anyone ask for aftermarket arms that work with the torsion bars. So no, I haven't built anything like that but I don't see why it couldn't be done.

[1989D21]

Just figured that tubular arms would flex less than the stamped ones... I guess I could reinforce the stocks ones, but then they'd be pretty heavy.

[UnusualFabrication]

I also shorten rearends when needed.

This is a GM 10 bolt that I took 1" out of each side so the tires won't rub the bed sides when laid out:

[tim.workshop]

how much for 1.5" or 1.75" steel ball threaded for a 89 hb shifter powder coated maroon?

[Dope909]

Custom built wishbones:

http://www.infamousnissan.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=967&pictureid=7635


Can you do something like this for a extended cab hardbody? I am building a drift truck, and I plan on coil over suspension. How much would it go for? You do an amazing job by the way..:thumb:

[UnusualFabrication]

how much for 1.5" or 1.75" steel ball threaded for a 89 hb shifter powder coated maroon?

I'll have to check my ball turning attachment and see how big I can do. As for the thread size I believe its a female thread but i'm not sure what the size is.

I certainly can! I can build them anyway you want. That particular wishbone went on an extended cab Mazda. Shoot me an e-mail to Chris@UnusualFabrication.com and we can get you a price qoute for exactly what you need.

Here's the newest project in the shop, its a 1974 Chevy Vega Wagon.

The way I picked it up:
http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/1974%20Chevy%20Vega%20Wagon/VegaWagon.jpg

Wheels and tires as well as the rearend, its a D60 with a spool:

Rear disc brke coversion:
http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/1974%20Chevy%20Vega%20Wagon/VegaWagon2.jpg

I'm using all new S-10 parts for the front end and bulding some one-off tube arms to connect them to the chassis:
http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/1974%20Chevy%20Vega%20Wagon/VegaWagon3.jpg

[tt660]

Looks like that'll be a wild ride when done lol...

[mini_570]

work looks good man cant wait to see the wagon completed!!

[UnusualFabrication]

Nothing revolutionary but here's a Universal Front Shock Kit that I make and sell:

http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/Parts/IMG00253-20110714-1400.jpg

Its availiable on my website (http://www.UnusualFabrication.com) under "Shock Brackets (http://www.unusualfabrication.com/index_files/shockbrackets.html)".

[UnusualFabrication]

My friend Nick added electric fans to his 1972 Pontiac GTO and he needed a way to hold the top of the radiator in since he wasn't using the stock fan shroud anymore. So here's what I came up with:

I layed out all the holes, drilled them, dimpled them, and bent it in the brake:

And here it is on the car:

Adding some new machinery...
http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/Shop%20and%20Tools/Bridgeport/IMG-20111028-00296.jpg

I had some people asking for bungs that would fit inside 2.000" O.D. round .250" wall so I made these 1.500" O.D. bungs with 1-1/8" threads..
http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/Parts/IMG-20110912-00228.jpg

Picked up a few vises from a friend, not bad for $100...
http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/Shop%20and%20Tools/Bridgeport/IMG-20111205-00352.jpg

I tore the vises down, cleaned and lubed everything and put them pack together...
http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/Shop%20and%20Tools/Bridgeport/IMG-20111207-00353.jpg

Sometimes when the laser is broke down, and you need a part, you have to do it the old fashion way...

[Ven]

Good shit man. You make some nice stuff. Btw love the Vega whats the plans for that?

[BaGGeD NiSSaN]

wonder about how much for some control arms tubuler or mmw type and about how much?

[UnusualFabrication]

Good shit man. You make some nice stuff. Btw love the Vega whats the plans for that?

Thanks! The Vega is a quarter mile car. Its getting a full tube chassis, tube arms, coil overs, 4-link, wheelie bars, roll cage, new floor and firewall, fiberglass nose, fiberglass doors, high horsepower motor, and a powerglide. I'm sure I missed a few things but it should give you an idea, lol!

[UnusualFabrication]

wonder about how much for some control arms tubuler or mmw type and about how much?

I make tube arms and they run $600 + shipping for a full set.

[UnusualFabrication]

Few more things done on the Vega...

Temporary bracing to keep the body straight when the floor and firewall is completely gone...

[UnusualFabrication]

Turning some balljoint cups on the lathe, these are for S-10 but I make Nissan cups that fit the stock lower balljoints in the same fashion...

Started with this...
http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/Parts/BalljointCups.jpg

After I sawed it up into sections on the bandsaw I started turning it on the lathe...

[pugz]

great work man. top notch stuff.

[xgolferdude]

What do u typically charge for balljoints cups Chris?

[UnusualFabrication]

great work man. top notch stuff.
Thanks!

What do u typically charge for balljoints cups Chris?
It depends on the balljoint cups. Some require more machine work than others.

[UnusualFabrication]

Test fitting the wheels and tires and as I suspected I am going to have to stretch the wheel wells. This is fine because i'm going to increase the wheelbase at the same time. I'm going to have to clear more around the tire because it needs to go up about 1" more.

Making some progress on the vega:

Marking out the 4" stretch...
http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/1974%20Chevy%20Vega%20Wagon/IMG-20120120-00437.jpg

Cut out the inner fender and the quarter panel...
http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/1974%20Chevy%20Vega%20Wagon/IMG-20120120-00438.jpg

A quick test fit...
http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/1974%20Chevy%20Vega%20Wagon/IMG-20120120-00439.jpg

http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/1974%20Chevy%20Vega%20Wagon/IMG-20120124-00441.jpg

Finishing the panel some more and checking the wheel and tire again...
http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/1974%20Chevy%20Vega%20Wagon/IMG-20120124-00443.jpg

There's still some more fine tuning to do on the body lines but its looking pretty good at this point.

[Mcpcola]

Very nice

[UnusualFabrication]

Thanks man!

[PROFIT KUSTOMS]

Very clean work!

[UnusualFabrication]

Well i've been picking away at my English Wheel and i'm finally done with it. I am still going to add a rack for all the anvils and maybe some wheels so I can move it easier when needed...

http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/Shop%20and%20Tools/IMG-20120207-00467.jpg

[PROFIT KUSTOMS]

Well by the end of this week i should be ordering those a-arms from ya..thank god cause i need to start rollin with this

[UnusualFabrication]

Well by the end of this week i should be ordering those a-arms from ya..thank god cause i need to start rollin with this

Sounds good man, just let me know!

[PROFIT KUSTOMS]

ITS KILLIN ME! Then the wife wants me yo paint her things for her car so i can pass the time.

[UnusualFabrication]

More progress on the Vega, started stretching the passenger side wheel well. At some point this thing was hit in the back corner and the repair was, well lets say, not so good.

Opening stretched and gas filler removed...
http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww359/unusualfabrication/1974%20Chevy%20Vega%20Wagon/VegaWagon14.jpg

Tacked in with all the filler panels...

[PROFIT KUSTOMS]

Looking good Chris!

[PROFIT KUSTOMS]

So u drivin the vega yet Chris...lol i bet u wish u could right now. When is that deadline or is it just a steady here & there build

[UnusualFabrication]

Lol, not yet! I'll probably be done with this in the spring sometime.

[PROFIT KUSTOMS]

AWESOME! So about what hp on the wheels u expect? thats body work & all too?

[UnusualFabrication]

The motor makes 600hp on the dyno with race gas. It'll lose a little horsepower through the powerglide, driveshaft, and rearend, but it'll still have over 500hp. The car is real light so the power to weight ratio is going to favor the power side. Completely done, i'm figuring this summer sometime. I'll be done with all the metal work (chassis, link, arms, cage, firewall, floor, fuel cell, etc.) this spring.

[xgolferdude]

hey chris why go with that style ball joint instead of the screw in? just a curious question..

[xgolferdude]

looks like top notch work as always!

[UnusualFabrication]

I offer them in the screw in style and the bolt in style. The customer wanted the bolt in style.

[xgolferdude]

Well by god... Lol I didn't know if that ball joint maybe got more travel vs the screw in kind er something... Well carry on sir.... Lol

[UnusualFabrication]

I have been out of town since last week and got back home last night so I will be returning any calls, e-mails, and PM's today as I get back business.

[UnusualFabrication]

Well by god... Lol I didn't know if that ball joint maybe got more travel vs the screw in kind er something... Well carry on sir.... Lol

Lol! I have both balljoints and surprisingly the screw-in ones really don't get that much more travel than the factory bolt in ones.

[mathis10]

your one lucky dude. im an air force machinist/welder and love building custom parts but they strongly frown on us making stuff for personal use. hook a fella up with that control arm jig. ill send it back to ya after i make mine...i know to much to ask. you and can-do customs are makin a killing on those things.

[PROFIT KUSTOMS]

Well its down to fine tuning other things as Chris gets those arms done. But ? for ya Chris.....the stablizer bars towards the front am i gonna have to make holes for those or do i even need to put them back?

[xgolferdude]

I would assume u got lowered built as well... So u won't need the strut rod cuz those lowers are triangulated... Which is a good thing cuz I don't know that u could lay out on a 22 without the that rod hitting the steering sector lol... If I'm wrong plz forgive and correct me Chris! Lol

[PROFIT KUSTOMS]

I wasnt 100% sure so never hurts to ask.

[UnusualFabrication]

The lowers come with a new machined cross shaft so you don't have to use the factory strut rods. You will remove the LCA bushing and the new shaft will slide in from the rear and weld into the existing cross member. Then the new lower arm bolts to the cross shaft. You will want to run a small gusset from the cross shaft to the frame just to add a little rigidity to it. Then you will have to drill the hole/holes you need to mount the airbags to the lower arms.

[PROFIT KUSTOMS]

Ok cool. wasn't 100% so cannt be scared to ask. Oh have you thought about $$ amount for that frame I was talking to you about? Cause I thinkin I could manage that along with doing my wifes Challenger.

[UnusualFabrication]

I haven't really sat down and ran any numbers on it. I'm try to get caught back up with what I have now and then we'll figure something out.

[PROFIT KUSTOMS]

Ight thats cool

[UnusualFabrication]

Figured I would throw up a few pics...
