@@craigjones6887 hey thanks for sharing that information. I did buy left hand boot floor from patchmaker. I find it easier to get their stuff on eBay through mrsnowman though. No need to wait for replies etc.

@@figzrc Cheers mate. Yeh the level of workmanship is crazy compared to years ago. Definitely a higher standard especially the interiors.

@@russelblackwell6041 yeh mate great looking pickups

@@jamierevis4972 Thanks mate. Still work to do but come a long way so far 😉

@@ashleyarnold9810 I get slot searching on eBay. There are some panels I won't buy because they aren't a good fit though. I usually do a bit of research before buying.

I have a lh torana I need a full panel I can't find anyone who can do a full panel

@@ashleyarnold9810 yeh depends on the car. Some are available and some aren't which makes it hard. Could have a coach builder make one which would be expensive I'd imagine. What panel are you looking for?

Lh side rear panel exactly the same as what u just did

@@mrporsche4236 Thats awesome. Very cool engine that isn't that well known about. Great to hear how it was in a factory Falcon 👍

@@RestoHubAU Cheers mate. Never thought I’d be doing this but here I am 😂

@@hugelavalava thanks mate. 🤟🏻

Thanks mate. Lots of work to get to here ha ha. I'm not going to do any lead wiping. Looking to tig weld up the join and then use a fibre based filler over the top. Howard Astill has a video on what he does on show cars he's built so if he says it's good I'm happy to use his technique.

Thanks mate. I just keep moving forward. Thanks for watching.

@@JAStheACE thanks mate. Yeh hopefully this can help someone else who might want to try it themselves. Thanks for watching

@@russelblackwell6041 Cheers mate thanks for watching 👍

My neighbour is a sparky and we've talked about this. While he said you can do it if you modify the plug but you are at risk of causing a fire if the 10amp breaker doesn't trip in time due to the higher load generated from a 15amp electrical product. It's also illegal so do it at your own risk. Also insurance won't cover your house if you burn it down by using a 15amp plug into a 10amp socket. Not worth the risk IMO. I have had the adaptor trip just once since I've had it so worth the price I reckon.

@@robsgarage69xw You have some valid points. I do think that the 10 amp breaker should do the job though,. If it fails? Unlikely, but the 15 amp device has the same low chance of failing. I would say that running a 15 amp device continuously would be stupid and dangerous but would still trip the breaker before a fire most times. Running a 15 amp tool in short bursts has a negligible chance of causing any problems. By the book you are 100% correct. In real life there is a bit of leeway if you understand the principles and the risk. I guess we do live in a by the book world these days so your advice is more sensible.

@@newblown cheers mate

Thanks mate. Yeh you have to keep motivated which isn't always easy. Thanks for watching.

Thanks mate. Much appreciated. Also subbed to your channel. Looking forward to seeing your XT come together as well.

​@@robsgarage69xw thanks mate, weather's starting to look nice for the resto work! Super keen to get back on the tools.

@@hugelavalava thanks for the support mate. Much appreciated.

Thanks mate appreciate the support. Learning as I go :)

@@robsgarage69xw we all are 😁

@@WayneCook-r4r thanks mate. Best thing to just keep going and do your best with what you know. I sometimes see others show another way of doing things so always learning. Maybe that can be for another build when this Falcon is finished 🤣

@@TSIXGaming they can look the same. Only difference is this machine is way easier to get started and finished with your welds because it has a high frequency feature and of course this can do aluminium while the 185 can't as a tig.

​@@robsgarage69xw cool man! i was considering buying the viper 195 its like the 185 but comes with tig gun and has the hi freq. but the 195 might have same issue with aluminum without AC tig or pulse mig :/

@@jamierevis4972 Cheers mate thanks for watching

@@newblown I’ll consider stroking the Cleveland to a 408 but also considering other options

@@nickf6062 I don't know if what I've done was right but it is done 🤣 thanks for watching.

@@newblown yes they are Rare Spare skins. They fit pretty well but aren't perfect but that is more on the inside when it's folded. Outside looks great. I'll have another video coming about the doors and skins soon.

Yeah nice I mite have to replace my drivers side skin

@@afoolintheshed9929 cheers mate. Glad you stuck around too 👍

@@robsgarage69xw always us smaller Chanel’s need all the help we can get 😁

Thanks mate. Appreciate the feedback. A lot of big jobs doing repairs on these old Falcons. I was originally going to do the lower rear quarter and repair the wheel arch but in the end decided it better to replace the entire quarter as it was already welded along the top which I didn't like. Cheers.

@@stevepierce3509 hey Steve, no plans to sell them at the moment. All the best in your search.

@@RicardoMartinsAU That's great. Excellent team there. Enjoy your flying.

You could but generally I think it's not a good idea to use extensions with tools that draw a lot of power. Personally I don't.

@@robsgarage69xw ok, thanks mate, I’m still a beginner with compressors and I got that beast, lol. Do you mind to make a video or something showing how to use it properly? Like, I don’t know if once a fill the compressor I can unplug it and leave the air inside for days and just plug my tools and use it unplugged while it’s filled and if I should take the air out after each use and how I do it properly, cheers

Thanks mate appreciate it. Good luck with your welding. :)

Thanks mate. Hope that helps you decide if you're looking for a Tig welder. Check out the range of welders cause there are a few options for newer models since I got mine. 👍

Hi Wayne I've been using mostly 1.6mm mostly multi-mix which is pink top. I've just ordered 1mm LaYZr tungsten which I've heard good things about and might be better for sheet metal repair but time will tell.

@@robsgarage69xw thanks Rob I’ve heard 1.0mm ceriated(Grey) are ok & around 50amps on 1mm panel steel? ….. will lift arc be ok when tacking ? Haven’t tried any of this yet

@@wayneodonnell8847 I ended up buying a dedicated Tig machine with HF start. Makes life easier. I'm sure it can be done but I didn't persevere with lift arc Tig on the Viper 185.

@@robsgarage69xw I was wondering if I should do the same … the lift thing might be a pain ! … can I ask what machine you ended up buying for TIG ?

@@wayneodonnell8847 I got the Unimig Razor AC/DC 200 Pulse. They have since updated to a newer version. Have been happy with it other than switching to a ball float regulator.

Thanks mate. Never seen that before. Interesting.

Hmm that would suck but I think you might be right. Looking back there is no calibration certificate and the label on the box doesn't have a serial number.

Hey mate, it's KBS rust seal.there is a kit called KBS chassis coater that has the clean, rust treatment and sealer in it.

Yeh I didn't think about the caliper because I measured mine based on the drum so I only just have enough clearance. If not I would have gone to a triangulated four link and ground the brackets off. Looking forward to your build update too mate 👍
