Chassis - Part 1
Plan 1 - Episode 1
The Flatbed Felix Pedal Car Build kicks off with Episode 1 – Part 1, where Vaughan begins shaping the heart of the project: the chassis. In this episode, you'll see how the main chassis rails are fabricated, including the creation of a distinctive "lobster back" curve for the nose—formed using a wooden template. The session wraps up with notching and fitting the front cross member, setting a solid foundation for the rest of the build.
Skills Learned
Viewers are introduced to a range of essential metalworking and woodworking techniques. These include precision measuring, cutting, drilling, deburring, and MIG welding. You’ll also learn how to bend metal over a form and read plans and templates effectively. Safety fundamentals are a key focus, making this a beginner-friendly start to the series.
Tools Required
Tape measure, square, scriber or marker, clamps, angle grinder, drill, hole saw set, metal files or deburring tools, MIG welder, wood saw, and a sander. Don’t forget to use personal protective gear—gloves, goggles, and hearing protection—for safe and confident building.
