Top 5 for me 70 Trans Am 69 Charger 71 Cuda 66 gt350 mustang 2014/2015 Koenigsegg one:1 (extremely unrealistic)

Yup! The F40. What an amazing car!

Ok, so I just stopped the video at 20:35 to take a guess at which Ferrari is your pick. I'm guessing the F40. I'll see how well I know you, Mike. Be back in a minute, lol!

My top five. 1968 to 1970 Charger. I had a 69. 1969 to 1972 Chevelle.I had a 70. 1967 to 1969 Cougar. Wanted one. 1970 Callenger. Really wanted one! And 1965 and 1966 Cnevrolet SS Caprice.I also wanted a 1940 Ford Coupe but had to settle for a Tudor.

You and I have VERY similar taste. I agree totally on your Ford picks regarding the 69/70 Boss Mustangs, however I would add the 66/67 Fairlanes with the 427 and that Tunnel? hood scoop. Also agree on the 57 Chevy as it is a timeless design.

58 fury, 69 Daytona, 34 ford 3 window coupe, 70 Super Bee, 73 ford falcon.

1. 67 GTO "Light Blue" 2. 70 Ply. RR airgrabber hood "Yellow" 3. 68 442 4. 70 Chevelle SS 5. 66 Chevelle SS only one car that can't be had ever again probably from my teens Probably more well yes My 74 Duster wish I still had that car. BUTT and it's a big one what do all these car's have in common? They have to be PRO STREET CAR'S LOL RAWK!!!

I'm the same way, a hundred projects that all appear to never be moving forward to those around every day. Those who drop by once a month however see great progress. I've been in a hell of a funk lately though and it feels to me like I'm not getting enough done. It's really starting to eat at me though. I'm not getting enough done lately. The shops a wreck and I can't seem to get it cleaned up before im side tracked and onto another task. It's when the shop is a mess and tools aren't organized and it starts to stay that way for too long that I get really frustrated and feeling down. I don't care how many tasks I have going all at once as long as the tools are n7cely organized, once that gets out of hand I get in a gnarly dark funk and I'm right in the middle of one this very moment. Watching vids like this help pull me out of it when I see I'm not the only one. Well I better stop writing before I los3 this wind. I'm gonna blast some tunes and get things put back together!

Very cool-I always wanted to learn some basic machining.

I knew when I saw all that mopar I was in the right place

This is sort of what I did for 7 years, only my machine worked on wood not metal. If you want a one machine that does it all woodworking tool look up WEEKE BHX-050. A drill press, router, and groove saw, all-in-one. It also has edge drills for drilling dowel holes to join. Great for cabinet making. And it's footprint isn't much bigger than your end mill. You mainly need to leave room on each side to feed the material, so the area it takes up is mainly determined by what you are feeding through it. If you are working on a 7 ft. tall bookcase, then you need more than 7 ft. on each side. You can have it outfeed to the same side as your input if you have limited room on the right side. Your door panel, from the previous video, would be a breeze for this baby. 😼. Until next time. Make it Safe, Make it Done, 👨‍🔧&🚘 Go Have Fun❣ Stay hydrated, safe, and healthy. 🤟RAWK!

Nice video Mike. Up and down is z axis?

A word of caution about those Chinese mills and lathes. Some are pretty good, and some are pretty bad and most of them need enough upgrades you could buy a used full-size mill or lathe. I have jokingly said that I'm going to turn my Vevor lathe into chips on my mill when I get a decent lathe. My list of parts I want to make on my Bridgeport is getting longer. It can all be done without the Bridgeport, but the machine makes you more proficient. It is hard to relate to making a part when someone jumps on a machine that is out of their reach. But I expect quite a few people are watching for the entertainment. And if, like in my case, owning this equipment is in your bucket list you have to do whatever it takes to make it happen. I also think something might be wrong with my boring feature. I didn't catch what you did to make it work and I watched that part twice. I'm not where I can get to mine right now, or I would go out and play with it. RAWK!!!!

Is there a version without the music?

Hmmm okay Mike your next project should be a Ford Focus? 😂😂😂😂😂

Dad made a creeper type thingy that we would use to push heavy stuff around with. It usually got delegated to either having bags of potting soil and large ceramic pots on it, or used to move the shop vac after it's base got broken. I also think he used it when putting a door on a car once. It had locking wheels so we never worried about stepping on it and having an accident, but I can count on one hand the number of times I actually saw it being used as a creeper for under cat work. I actually am more afraid of skateboards than creepers. Those things were a menace to every student at every school anywhere! Until next time.

Both of the doors you show at around 11:30 are two toned, with that trim strip you were talking about adding. I sort of like the idea of two toned panels. You could also make the armrests two toned. I think a dark grey, or even a black, maybe with red stitching to match the car color. It isn't adding much to the overall cost. I am not sure what your plans are for the seats. They are currently light grey and dark grey, so you could match them. Just tossing out some ideas. Can't wait to see the finished product. Until next time.

Nice Mike! RAWK!!!!

Fancy panels, tin would rattle. Custom arm rests and cup holders needed. 😎

That was cool Mike. I am looking forward to the rest of the panel.

Good video Mike. Thanks!

Great episode Mike...Like me some FATFANNY!!! LOL RAWK

I knew that one of the reasons would be the long hair... ouch

I asked for help on social media with two car projects. I had one guy come over and help wire (I had to fix his mess).

Yes, creepers should be banned. The one I used many years ago (my dad's) seemed to find every crack in the concrete, every stray bolt, every tiny pebble or anything that would just stop those useless wheels dead in their tracks. I'm happy to say that I have been creeper free for about 20 years. A few years ago I invested in a 4 post lift, and the other day I was thinking how much more pleasant it is to work underneath a car without rolling around on your back, especially when you get older.

My floor is too bad for one. I'd rather have a lift. RAWK!!!!

I don't like creepers either but I have a bad back and concrete is just too hard. I use cardboard if the vehicle is too low for a creeper.

Watch out for the haunted creeper 👻 sounds like it was out to get you since you kept standing it up 😂

Creeper (from Scooby Doo) lives in my shop

That's why you didn't want the one I was getting rid of. Lol

Agree...Hate them as well, yes I have had them owned them...cardboard much better, or those foam puzzle squares, have a bunch of those. RAWK!!

Hey Mike good buddy .. It's only thing to admit hey I'm not a bodyman .. and that's why none of my cars are painted Or have any really nice body work & finishes .. it's a whole other thing to Just Patina everything Or Semi survivor rat car / drag car just to escape the responsibility of having a really sweet ass finished street car ...Oh AND MIKE..where I come from we don't SATIN BLACK anything except maybe OEM frames . We would no sooner grow tits before we ever intentionally painted any car satin black ..And every day we try moving forward ...

Hope you get to feeling better soon. You’ll have to proctice with a lighter guitar. lol I have a tall old steel shop stool I use in the garage at the bench. I’m 71 now. I hate it !!! But you do what you can 👍👍👍

I had some suspicions about your back. A lot of videos of you filming other people working, which isn't normally what you film I am sorry to hear that you did so much that it was that bad. I am glad that you are getting better. I am also having some back, or to be more precise spinal issues. I am starting to develop that old man hunch. I can no longer stand against a wall and have my "Fat Fanny" and the back of my head and the heels of my feet all touch the wall at the same time..I have lost about an inch in height because of this as well as I am having issues with my sinuses and swallowing because my passages have become sort of kinked.I have begun doing stretches trying to pull my head back for ten seconds and then relaxing for ten seconds repeating this ten times. So far it doesn't seem to be doing much. I also stopped using a pillow and just lie flat on the mattress. It actually is uncomfortable, as I can feel the muscles being stretched just to get my head down. As for robbing from Peter to pay Paul, I am thinking of taking the base off of an old office chair and swapping it out with another at work. The one chair has bad cushions, that are all cracked and have holes, while the other has bad hydraulics, it won't lift up so the chair is all the way down. Swap the base off the one and put it on the other and make myself a decent chair. Until next time. Make it Safe, Make it Done, 👨‍🔧&🚘 Go Have Fun❣ Stay hydrated, safe, and healthy. 🤟RAWK!

I hope you feel better soon. Take it easy and heal up.

Mike you sound like a 13 year Airborne Infantryman. I feel you there.

I have the same jack in red. I have had to weld where the gear shaft engages into the handle after it stripped out. It still works but the spring is broken now.

I think I have bought 3 jacks over the last 30 ish years. They all wear the teeth out and the pump starts leaking. My latest jack has not lifted enough cars to have a problem, but it is already low on oil and will not go all of the way up. My next jack will probably be one of the ones with the air bag. RAWK!

I have also made one functional part or tool from 2 broken ones but nothing recently. It's no fun having a bad back. I know!

Happy to come up and help. I hope your back is doing better. RAWK!

My nice little garage was built with the house in 1923. Built for a 23 Ford. Now it’s a nice little shop with benches and shelves. Air compressor, welder & torches, tool chest. Engine hoist & my rower. Not a lot of room left. So I work on my car & truck outside. I try to keep it organised but it’s tough. You’ve got a good shop there 👍

I just love these old cars. What are those knobs on the back of the car?

I recently volunteered at a local bicycle shop that is building bikes for kids that can't afford one. They had benches for their employees to use with a pegboard and all the different wrenches and other tools outlined on it and each one written down for size. They even had color coding for each bench, so the tools had colored tape wrapped around them. When I got there all the tools were there, but about an hour later other people had come by the station and "borrowed" tools from it. I ended up spending a fair amount of my time wandering around to find these "borrowed" tools when I needed them. When Micro meets Macro. 🙄 Until next time.

Nice Mike. Still in the middle of the rearrange of my shop now. RAWK!!
