What happens here

After tack welding, the creator addresses the rough edges left by the chop saw, filing them down with a hand file. He then test-fits the crossover pipe under the truck again, noting a slight error in his previous cut for the U-bend, which he will correct. He also explains the utility of safety glasses, mentioning a previous incident where debris got into his eye. He now wears Pit Viper safety glasses for the duration of the project due to the rusty conditions of the vehicle's undercarriage.

Goal: Clean rough edges, correct previous cuts, and ensure proper fitment of the crossover pipe.

Tools and materials

  • Chop Saw — Making precise cuts on exhaust tubing

to the drive shaft without hanging down too far this is where i'm gonna want it two i'm not gonna use this uh i'm gonna save this for later i'm gonna cut this right on the middle here create a 90 and then i have more of a one-piece deal it may end up getting cut here and done another 90. it may end up using some of this and then going the rest of the way up i don't know but this is gonna minimize the amount of monkeying around and i always like to do things using the least amount of pieces possible i think that's like that's the the best way to do it from like you know good fabricators will use the least amount of pieces and you're not just like just random stuff together to make it work if that bothers you i am not sorry it's true i'm filing all these cuts out now all the crud like this some of it's worse than others filing all that out with this this little needle dick file because it's the only one i can find i usually like the ones that have like the they're like the half moon shape with the flat top those you know do work on these and even better than that like a die grinder air powered one with uh the rasp tip it's like the swirly one and you just go clean that's it that's the one drawback to the chop saw is it leaves a lot of debris like that where a bandsaw doesn't you still got to clean it but with the chop saw it tends to leave a flatter face so you don't have to uh like square it up with um like with a belt sander or something it's just personal preference really most of the time i prefer bandsaw but i don't have one of those yet either so we're just making it work as you can see just making it work so i'm working for a bit off camera i got this going got that all marked up there it's going to line up this wood just like that and i had an episode where i got some stuff in my eye so i'm just decided i'm going to wear these pit vipers the whole time because uh i didn't have anything on on my eyes before but i'm not also not usually working underneath something that has like flaky rust crud all over the place so it's like anytime you bump anything here it's like oh my god there's stuff in my eyes so yeah these clear pit vipers are actually like ansi certified safety glasses if you didn't know that actually all pit vipers are so the clear ones just make great safety glasses and you look like a freaking pimp too i'm gonna get this pullback off and tack weld this here and then we're like on the home stretch now this is the hard part so uh nice so this…
