@bryanoconnor3510 thanks mate!! It came up good with the green paint, only made it just in time for the car show haha 🍻

@@grantlee2975 all of them do haha

@shro73 hi mate, hmm... for small rust repairs.. no I don't. But I do remove the battery. If it's a big repair, or heaps of rust to be done, yes I take out the tank, or at least drain it. But generally it's pretty safe, unless you have a leak!

@deankdx I do agree with you Dean! Plus I like being transparent about stuff, I'm not perfect haha, but I DO learn from my mistakes, and hopefully others can see why things don't work, I asked SCA and they said there was a batch apparently that had faulty nozzles. I must have got that batch 😕 haha

@charlesescarria3726 yeah man, AUD. The average price nowdays

@chrisriley3828 hey Chris, do you use metallic gold as a base? Or you tried the metallic gold paint? How was it, did it come up ok?

@russelblackwell6041 hey Russ, its probably the first "how to" video on youtube with a shitty result haha, but I'm honest and straight up as you probably know, so I wasn't going to hide the terrible job haha. Yeah I have seen and used them when I was a kid, I honestly didn't think I needed it, I just shouldn't have used the first spot can but oh well, the process I showed still has merit, just couldn't deliver a good job in the end 😅🤣, but yeah great tip mate, I should have mentioned that in the video too actually , cheers for the comment mate, appreciate it!! 🍻

yeah that's a good idea mate, i didn't have my air compressor or guns there unfortunately but definitely a great tip!

Hi Craig, glad that you are picking up a few things from the channel mate! Ah ok well hopefully you know someone that can help out with the welding part, i applied the seam sealer between any lap joins but probably didn't record it sorry, ill be doing some more work on the XW next week so hopefully i can cover it in more detail for you mate, cheers for the comment and for following the channel 🍻

@aprilgeordi8969 hey mate!, the current status is the 440 motor is ready, but problem is I want a tkx 5 speed box to put behind it, but it comes to $13k with everything needed to install, so basically I'm just broke and don't have a gearbox, I have a TF727 auto, but need to change the spline to a slip yolk haha, that's all that's stopping me at this point

@craigoz62 oooh, this is good knowledge! Cheers man very handy

@craigoz62 thanks for the nice comment mate! When the new workshop has been built I'll go back into higher detail builds and information on upcoming videos 🍻

Hi Charlie, i really appreciate this comment thank you! yeah i am a little crazy, and lucky to have her that's for sure! cheers mate 🍻

Thanks for watching and the positive feedback, I'm loving working on this build!

@@ChrisArmstrong-ir3fg hahahaha thanks mouse, yeah I agree I was buggered 😄, was good to catch up 🍻

@nathanmacready872 depends on what level of restoration you want, for my rat rod where I couldn't sand in the pitted surfaces, treated it with Fertan, a rust converter. But for a high quality restoration it's best just to get it blasted or maybe acid wash? If it's a small area then I use my hand held sand blaster tool

cheers mate, i appreciate the feedback and good to know what works and doesn't 🍻👍

@bruceaskin9645 very good points mate, leads will be hard, I was thinking of running air line along the walls, dust and dirty stuff... I was going to dedicate a bay for rust repairs and sanding, have dust extraction and maybe a partition wall?? Or curtain??

Plan for the minimising of unproductive time, cleaning, packing/ unpacking and moving stuff around. Pay special attention to your spray booth, light position and various air connections. Dragging hoses around the floor creates dust.

@bruceaskin9645 yeah good idea, I needed better lighting in my last booth, hopefully my new plan is better, I wonder if LED or fluro lights are better 🤔

@pangaute thanks mate, good advice! I definitely wanted to insulated it, aircell is pretty dear but, but I think it's probably still the cheapest option for the roof. The walls I wanted to sheet, and I'll probably insulate them with batts too, what do you mean double skinned? The sheeting inside and the iron on outside?

@russelblackwell6041 will do mate, been looking for good videos to watch on sheds actually 👍

@russelblackwell6041 can't find the video you mean mate, has it got another name or handle?

Yarnies garage solid guy with a beard his cars are also amazing Xy ute with 260 boss chassis

@russelblackwell6041 oh ok, I'll try find it cheers mate !

Yeah absolutely! ill make sure there is a chair there for you around the fire when the beers are on!

thanks Ant! yeah great idea, ive gone extra 25mm thicker on the slab for that reason, hopefully it is enough and thank you very much mate, it is a huge leap of faith but at least live will be more enjoyable! cheers matey

@@TwistedMetalCustoms before settling on your concrete thickness just do a bit of research on what is recommended by the manufacturer or hoists. I say this as my brother in law didn’t check this and when he purchased a hoist he found his concrete to be just 25mm to thin and had to abandon the ideas

Cheers Phil! i reckon you are spot on... i love my fire places, probably wont heat up much but a good place to warm the hands up and have a beer!! and the toilet.. well.. i too like to be civilised sometimes haha

oh wow really! that must have been hectic wind! Yeah high quantity of power points is a great idea, and a charge station to, all in one place, i like that ! safe to say I've added to the build!

@@TwistedMetalCustoms cheers mate You can’t go wrong with stuff all in one place Been a game changer for me Yeah we get some strong wind gusts and this one grabbed the door that was pinned open with a car tyre and ripped it clean off

@@michaelharrison500 holy moly, hopefully i dont have the same weather at this place haha , cheers matey

Haha this is very true Reardo!

@anthonybulmer1198 haha it was way funner that's for sure!! Cheers matey 🍻

@@bogader89 cheers mate, thanks for watching ! 🍻

Cheers Danny!

yeah.. you are not wrong haha.. in fact its exactly what i ended up doing in the next episode, i got my wires crossed and didnt realise how cheap the skins were, but you are spot on mate! but at least now i know i can shape a replacement piece if ever needed for a small patch 🍻🍻

@@TwistedMetalCustoms Ive been a panel beater spray painter since I was 15 years old I’m about to turn 50 soon and I’ve retired and brought my own place and only want to work on and finish my own cars one EH Ute .3 xh falcon Utes one 75 ford TD cortina and maybe one other car a HR Ute after that I just wanna drive them up the Goldcoast Cruze around go to car shows and Summernats live life out before I all ends

@michaelbyrnes7944 mate that sounds like such a good idea, I'm a carpenter by trade... so I'm working on all my own projects with that exact same plan in mind, I want to be able to enjoy and drive my cars, I'd rather do that then have one in "project" status for 15 years and then be too scared to drive it in case of a scratch haha.. well I think you have a good plan, hope to see you about on the road or at a car show one day mate 👍

Hello from Australia! thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it, cheers 🍻

cheers mate, it turned out much better than i expected to be honest !

Cheers Benny! glad you found TMC, welcome aboard! oh i like the 1 tonners, 2 at once wow good stuff! plenty of everyday tips and "how to" in previous videos mate, and yep.. pretty terrible burnout attempt haha, i will get some tyres ordered and tailshaft and redeem myself i swear 🤣🍻

@ronaldlingle8766 this is where I won't tell you so you watch more of my video haha, joking! 👌 glad you found my channel Ron, the engine and gearbox combo are factory. It's from a 2001 AU falcon, v8 EFI, has a T5 manual box, thanks for the comment and hope to hear from you again 🍻

@@TwistedMetalCustoms oh you will I got content icon beeping at me for your channel right now. Talk later

@@ronaldlingle8766 sounds good mate cheers

@ernestchapman1194 ooh cool project mate! I am pretty sure the J3 chip can support most extra add ons, safest way would email or call TI Performance (or Facebook message ) and let them know your plan and to see if they can supply a J3 chip tuned for your purpose, The J3 chip primarily is to just bypass the security and BCM stuff, so all you will need is a ECU, like me. Then you do whatever you want to the engine, then go get it tuned, as if you would any other motor I believe , cheers for the sub mate! 🍻

@@TwistedMetalCustoms thanks for the info just got done checking out their website and seems as though the stage 3 chip and complete tuning kit is what the doctor ordered. Ironically enough I happened to have a second 99 ranger ext cab that is kinda going the same route as your build except for a351 cleavor and the cab off an old Studebaker truck (basically just windshield frame and firewall) the rest will be a custom Woody wagon 33 Willy's nose and fenders

@@ernestchapman1194 thats awesome mate, that would be a complex build too! also glad that the J3 chip is hopefully what you were after, cheers 🍻🍻

Cheers buddy! looking forward to see Ruby completed too!

@darf26 thanks Darf, I would really love to leave it, but as a semi buisness I can't have poor paintwork on my own car as It leaves a bad message haha, either I do it all properly (I'm actually leaning towards this now) or make it faded style, not sure yet though haha, cheers 🍻

@shanedavies9564 thanks Shaneo! We are both pretty stoked with what we achieved 🍻

@larrybritt7758 cheers Larry 🍻 👌

@afoolintheshed9929 cheers Lawnie! I appreciate the redemption 🙏 🍻

@@TwistedMetalCustoms A Lawnie is what ya call a burnout or skid on the lawn or grass. 👍

@afoolintheshed9929 oh hahaha, yeah now I see it.. sorry for some reason I thought it was your nickname 😅

@@TwistedMetalCustoms 🤣🤣🤣 Lawnie would be a funny nickname.

@@afoolintheshed9929 🤣🤣🤣😁

@barrygriggs4099 lots of steps to be honest, best way is to get it sand blasted, if not use that disc I show in the previous episode, it needs to go back to clean metal using that , it's the quickest way, then sand metal with 120g, then apply an epoxy primer to the metal, you can bog over an epoxy primer

@@TwistedMetalCustoms Thanks a stack man, i have my work cut out for me then definitely. I thought as much but am not experienced

@barrygriggs4099 have a watch on some of my other videos, I regularly give tips and tricks for home restoration, "strip it disc" is what they are called

@@TwistedMetalCustoms Appreciate it man! Hope you enjoy the Rugby today !

@williamquinones2870 cheers Will! I appreciate the pass on the failed burnout hahaha 👌🤙

@kdsboosted4954 hahah it's when bulk of the work gets done! Good Luck mate!

@damianjackson9084 cheers Damo! Yeah drifting it was much more successful than the burnout hahaha

@@Stuffdexdoes cheers legend 👍 🍻

@ChrisTucker-xe1is wow really Chris? That's awesome 👌, thanks for the continued support for the channel too mate! I can't believe it either! It looks pretty bloody cool I have to say 👌
