I love those types of projects ! Always nice to see things being brought back from the dead and put to use. 👍

Hey Andy. Check out Packer fastener out of Wausau for hardware. Kind of like Fastenal without the robbery part. They deliver to Stevens point every day and are easy to set up an account with. Been able to get even really odd metric stuff in a few days. Catch you later, Mike

You brought that one back from the dead. One thing I learned about auctions. Don't leave anything behind. You never know what piece of junk turns out to be some unobtanium you need.

Did you say "it's gettin darker because tornado is coming... anyhow..."???

This one turned out well, you're good 👍 Too bad we didn't get to see the burnout

Derik Berry copy? Chinese or other 3rd world country junk. We need to make stuff here and keep the junk out.

Good times, workin on the hoe

The best use of making tools for ease of accomplishing tasks.

Good example of a bargain being more expensive than a quality supplier. I feel your pain about getting bad or wrong parts. Seem like all the overseas manufactures are racing to the bottom on quality. I return them for refund, so they lose any kind of profit. Counterfeits are being bigger pain also.

Changing out my 86 Bronco waterpump, while having a beer thought of Changing out the timing chain. Is it good, who knows but after watching this and a few beers why not....cheers

Great work! Love how you talk to the camera, I laughed when you asked us for a filler rod haha. Rock on brother

Your funny but your bits are a little to long drawn out I can see it losing you views

It's cause the stang is lowered an that's rough for doing a custom exhaust an rides like pooh

I see a lot of these Case 580 machines for 10 to 15 grand. With 4ish thousand hours or so. I’ve been contemplating one as a farm machine. Glad I found these vids so I know what to expect.

the fucking safety squints had me dying hopefully I can start my shop like you some day

I'd say that car's been f***** over and it needs somebody that's got a half a brain to make it right and it sounds to me like you are that person. Rock on brother

Somebody added a performance engine cradle it didn't smash in anything. Somebody put a late. Somebody put a performance cradle in it to reduce the weight of the the vehicle and from the looks of it they they did a half-assed butcher job and probably change. Charge them all of the money that they could get out of them cuz he's probably young, dumb and full of c** that's my guess

Nice job ! Especially with what you had to work with. Now don't let them put on a vpt decal😂

That looked like one tough job Andy. When life hands you lemons for a job, time to make a Scotch on the Rocks. 😂😂

Wow what state lets you have window tint that dark?

Do you still have the factory front suspension?

Whats the red stuff you used

You did a excellent job on that lower unit!!!!!

It's always a good day when you can knock out a bunch of projects. Are you going big time on us. I see you had on a nice clean, presentable shirt with you logo on it. Not like your winter coat. 😂😂 That was a great save on the boat motor.

Neat!!

My opinion; That thickness of rust is so thick that I think that the rust was already there to begin with, in as such the VPT was basically knocking it off. Of course, I am not a metallurgist nor a professional. Nor did I not see what the metal looked like when you first started. Just my dumb opinion. New subscriber 4-21-2024. You have great content Sir!

Awesome work ! You have a lot more patience than I do 😂

This was a wonderfully shot and edited video. Your production experience is showing. Making a power feed for the bead roller would be a challenge . But, making an indexing lever so that you could position the handle at the best angle for good leverage should be relatively easy. Use an extra ratchet wrench as the basis for the fabrication.

My oil pump is pumping 10 times too much. The adjuster doesn’t stop it. This give me some good ideas to check out.

Even with the bead roller you get warping or twisting of the metal; hence the bow in rhe panel, your best bet is to pre stretch the path of the beads on an english wheel, or get the biggest bead male die and the flat part of any other die and roll it through a few times, even the rubber bottom die would work, also a tipping die makes good breaks if you don't have a metal brake but great work overall it looks great

I've use a "croissant" wrench many times for things that do not come close to loosening up nuts and bolts! Nice job on those panels too.

Always good to see the shotgun approach to applying leverage. I mean, that's a pretty high-caliber setup. I don't even know if it can be accurately gauged....

The vin number was stamped on one of those inner fenders. Do you think removing that will cause any problems down the road? I’m simply going to patch my shock towers closed when I convert mine.

Did nice work man I really like it 👍👍👍

I’m wanting to do this to mine, find a second hand intercooler that’s got a broken mount or something and make up my own piping, looks sick man.

Keep rolling on Anndy. I just had to fill my C25 bottle also. Fortunately, it happened early enough to get to the weld shop. They just exchange it so I was back welding after a couple hours. I laughed at your jack stand. I have the exact same pair here and still use them.

Can you tell us the chain pitch or where you got your top sprocket. Also would you tell us why you chose what looks like a bout a 6" sprocket? Thanks for a great video.

looks like Ziebart.... spray on liquid moisture holding tar.....

You need to move to Arizona

POR 15 works just fine if used properly. You have to actually clean the rust off first, desalinate the frame, and then you use POR 15 and THEN paint it or whatever. You can't just use POR 15 only and go along your merry way, no one would ever do that and expect different results. Its meant as a prep to neutralize rust before painting or something else. Literally everyone knows that, even the rustproof/removal place I took my 2008 Jeep Wrangler to told me the same. My daily Driven 2008 Jeep Wrangler, and I live in upstate NY, was done 5 years ago, POR 15, first, then painted the frame and it still is solid as a rock.

Looking and hearing about the rust and road conditions perhaps you need to add some annodes and change them out every season. Dont mess around use Magnesium. 5 or 6 blocks evenly spaced along each rail should get you protection for 90 days over brine. basically the snow season, replace at the end after a decent wash and maybe a traditional oil treatment or a paint. The only thing that will protect it if bare metal is there is an anode.

Old motor oil and a pump sprayer is fhe best way to keep frame rust away. Just make sure to hose it down in your neighbors yard, especially if that neighbor lets his dog crap in yours

5 parts used motor oil, 1 part diesel. Spray away. (Park in grass for first week though).

I have to call bs..

Use white lithium aerosol and used oil

Any seal coat is horrible and anyone saying oh mine is great it's probably sitting in a garage 90% of the time and never sees winter or salt. Fluid film or any oil based coating is the way to go

Fluid film is far superior.

oil is the best undercoating.

There must be a better way - Galvanising a chassis would be it - but what a job that would be.... Complete disassembly, Stripping, Galvanising, adding an etch-primers, re-assembling the whole ute. But it would make the frame not rust. But then - there's the cab. Unless it's made from galvanised steel.... Urgh..... So hard.

Por will stop rust but it’s not meant to prevent rust. It’s used as an option to restore cars that will never be subject to road salt.
