Indianapolis played host this past week to PRI. It was cold, too! Sub-teen temperatures were not the best conditions in the minds of thousands who traveled to Indy from all over the nation and world. The visitors who attended were there for business, and a lot went down! And new products were plenty! View more…. Continue reading →

We found this sculpture by Brown Dog Welding on Facebook. This piece, called “Partners” depicts a man and his trusty sidekick was made for a charity event. Made entirely of spare small pieces this raw metal touches those who are pet lovers and fans of metal art alike.

Guest Blog, second in a series from Jay Thornton, custom fabrication expert at Vibrant Performance

As we left off yesterday, I was running down some of the fundamentals of fabrication as part of our week-long back to basics blogs for Vibrant Week at Motovicity. This is Pre-Fab .50, the stuff everybody should know as their baseline knowledge of fabrication and materials welding before we move on to the Fab 101 tutorials we’ll be posting here on the MotoBlog.

Guest article on Motivicty’s MOTOBLOG, first in a series from Jay Thornton, custom fabrication expert and technical lead at Vibrant Performance.

I spend a lot of time working with up-and-coming custom metal fabricators and it’s one of the coolest parts of my job at Vibrant. I get to see a lot of new, creative ways of doing things and meet new people who bring a whole new perspective to the craft. I also see this as an important part in the art of fabrication: helping the next generation learn a craft that is constantly changing and innovating. Continue reading →

Hello Fabrication Fans! Welcome to the second install of the B.R.E Motorsports Time Attack S14 build. This post goes more in depth with the entire build up of this one of a kind S14. Showcasing the amount of hours spent on the fabrication. Down to every detail displays the sheer artwork implemented into this vehicle. I hope you enjoy this creation as much as i do!

The S-Chassis has been placed on a rotisserie to ensure clean welds throughout the vehicle. It makes the task much easier to get into those tough to reach areas. A fully stitch welded chassis makes for a super rigid chassis, which is crucial for race cars.

The Team at B.R.E Motorsports are very well rounded with experience and craftsmanship.

While meeting up at a friend’s shop, i came across this interesting S13 Coupe. The color of the car threw me off a bit, and i was interested to know what was done to it. When they say don’t judge a book by it’s cover, this car was the epiphany of the saying. Check out this cool hook slider!

On the outside, it looks like your typical “drift” style 240sx

Until i walked around the car, i knew i was in for a treat!

This would come in handy at the track! I would use an air compressor, cut off blade, and battery charger on this.

The pace hasn’t slowed one bit since we got crackin’ on the Black Series’ headers and exhaust, among other trick little things we haven’t mentioned yet. Today is no different, as the designing, fitment work and welding haven’t broken pace once.

Today, we’re going to focus on the work taking place at the middle resonator set, heading backwards towards the rear section. We’ve already put together the X-pipe and the initial piping that extends to just behind the differential, so enjoy some pictures from that region while we keep crackin’ on the headers up front. We’re moving quickly, but not a single inch of our perfectionist style is being compromised; after all, we’re pretty amped to have the honor to build a SEMA car, and that energy should be riding with us until the minute the BS leaves our facility. Enjoy the pics!

Aside from more Black Series content (obviously), we’ll have a good post or two up about Scott’s twin-turbo Explorer build, which is moving along just as quickly. Until tomorrow!
