Welcome to The Fab Forums. My name is Kyle Voss and I produce Custom Motorsports Fabrication content of all forms for you. Carbon Fiber, TIG Welding, Metal Shaping, Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, Custom Choppers, and everything in between. I work hard to bring you new content on a weekly basis.

Here are some of the builds you can find on this channel.
I have built several Chevy trucks on this channel. The first was my 1964 C10 named Crown Spoyal and the most recent C10 truck project was the 1969 I currently have named the Black Pearl.

I am also finishing up a custom twin turbo Ford Mustang build I call the Gray Goose. It’s a 400 cubic inch Windsor style engine with twin 70mm turbos. I am hoping to make around the 1000 horse power mark to the tires on this particular build.

Last but not least is the one off custom hot rod build called the Bibbster. This is what I call a modern day hot rod. It’s made from an old Ford Mustang foxbody, but made to look like an old school open wheeled hot rod.

I also feature other fabricators and shops like Cutworm Specialties hand formed aluminum wide body kit for a BMW e46. Jeb Greenstone has also built a twin turbo, coyote powered model A style hot rod from scratch, and is currently building a Toyota TE72 wagon drift car powered by a 1UZ Lexus v8. Jeb’s custom fabrication skills are fun to watch and always make for good videos.

Check out my playlist to see some or all of these builds.

Ive been using these for years on the job, everyday use " fulltime mechanic" and love them. I do wear out a set every 3 to 6 months, snapon truck swaps them out for free everytime! Good stuff!

Knipex makes very good tools - got all three sizes, but I haven't used them very often on hex bolts / nuts on motor vehiles. More for gripping round objects, like when doing plumbing jobs or 'stuck' filler caps. I was given a set of 3/4" sockets by my grandfather when he retired as an industrial mechanic / huge commercial washing machine assembler, just as I was getting into the auto repair business. Besides handling the "big stuff" the 3/4" sockets make handy seal drivers, using a brass or plastic hammer to keep from beating them up; mostly what I used those for over the years.

Knipex Cobras are awesome, and also highly recommend the Knipex Pliers Wrench (part number 86 03 180) and come in same sizes as the cobra pliers.

I have had mini bulk cutters from knipex for years and they are that accurate still that they will cut paper with the tips even though they shouldn't because there bulk cutters lol
