I admire your patience. You know what has to be done. You are outstandingly consistent or consistently outstanding. . . . take your pick. 😊 Thank you for your videos.
John, I’ve said it before before, but definitely seems appropriate to say it again…… It’s so refreshing and relaxing to watch you elegantly solve mechanical conflicts. I just wish I too had the Bewitched touch to levitate the tools I drop back into my hand. 👍👍😜👍👍
That cut where the wrench flies back into your hand was amazing. I don’t know how many times we’ve all been up on a ladder or in a tight spot where that trick would be a winner. As a previous Corvair owner I’m eagerly anticipating the final product.
Unbelievable beautiful build i watch your videos many time thank you for sharing your skills !! As I said I have many of my build c4 corvette suspension f/r have the steel trying to find a better 1969 square body wagon v.w
Flaming River products are spendy but the few ice used have been nice products. Like you, I prefer threaded bungs to nuts and find myself machining them quite often for various projects. Mike
That’s a pretty swell trick with that Allen Wrench. Oh Lord how I wish I could have done that a few hundred times! Looks great! Nice surprise getting to see it so soon. Cheers!
Videos coming thick and fast nowadays, nice to see your making progress. steering column install is a big job thats often underestimated, so thumbs up on this one.
Awesome video as usual. Have to take my hat off to you for your patience. I’m starting a project as we speak and I hope I can take a page from your book your the best I’ve seen on you tube. Kind Regards Andrew
Rivnut tip A washer and thread locker can help the nut grab onto thin metal. If you have access to the back of the panel put the Washer there with some thread locker or super glue to stick it in place , being on the back works better but it can work on the front too. Drilling to hole too small and expanding it out with a punch can also work depending on access
I'm building a 37 CHev PU with a 5.3 LT1. The engine bay is filled and getting a straight steering column in was impossible. SO I got an IDIDIT 16" shorty column. It's connectee with a Borgeson U joint and passes through a bearing on the firewall to another U Joint. From there it goes to a Ujoint on the Rack. The angle as it passes through the firewall is around 42degrees, Too sharp according to Borgeson. My thought is to get a 12" colum which will change the angle as it exits the firewall. From there I will likely put a bearing on the frame rail and use another Ujoint, for a total of 4.
I recognize the subscribe tune, but I just can't tie it to the device. Maybe an old school video game, whatever it is I used to have it around me. That steering wheel is gorgeous!
I could easily and eagerly watch an hour at a time if not more. If television was like this I'd have after 22 years of being television free. Thank you for the extra work of sharing this awesome build.
Put full weight on the wheels and test for binding etc before continuing the build, you might need to change things. Silly question but why not just use the factory column mount? An adjustable wrench would have solved the angle problem, 1.5^ of angle is an easy bend to put into folded sheet metal with no detriment.
What is your steering rack ratio? Seemed quite a few wheel rotations if not completely miscounted. Would that not be slow in case of any sliding action and need for fast steering input?
Your magnetic personality came in handy to retrieve my wrench.

I don't have anything clever to say just that I enjoy seeing you attack mechanical problems with good outcomes🤗😎🤗😎
Gawd! It was like Harry Potter in the garage with that Allen Wrench!

Fascinating, love your self deprecating comments too
Beautiful work. You make it look so easy it makes me want to start a new project, but I'm old enough to know better now.
Always a pleasure John. Always!
I always look forward to your videos and can't weight for the next installment.

The floor grommet can hide a multitude of sins can’t it ! As always your work is impeccable John 👍🏼
Thanks John for another awesome video, it’s hard to wait for the next one.
Always a joy, makes me wish I had spent that little extra and got the boomerang style Allen wrenches.
Flaming River products are spendy but the few ice used have been nice products. Like you, I prefer threaded bungs to nuts and find myself machining them quite often for various projects.

Phenomenal craftsmanship!
No nuts. Never thought about that before, but you're absolutely right.
Superb work again. I love your attitude when something doesn’t go quite right you just crack on and come up with a solution.
Those boomerang allen wrenches are awesome. I need to get me a set.
Looking good John. Enjoying the build as it progresses. Definitely SEMA material, bravo.
Thanks for your excellent videos.
You are an incredible fabricator...
Hi John, I love that you share when you have figured out the next big thing. You are Tenacious! 😊
oh man i skipped a video, brb gotta go watch that one. This one was great tough!
“I’ll have to have a chat with my camera man….”😂
Love that self homing Allen wrench. Cool tool.
I'm a stickler for detail so I get where you're coming form, my wife calls it OCD .
" birds of a feather flock together "
I love the build !
Coming together nicely. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. 💪👍🏼
Thanks for another video of the Corvair coming together John. I Always look forward to the next one 😉
What a kickass install!
Videos coming thick and fast nowadays, nice to see your making progress. steering column install is a big job thats often underestimated, so thumbs up on this one.
Nice work John. Your designing and Fabricating skills are good buddy!!
Way better than any TV car show Bud Bruston ever directed.
Man that was nuts !
Awesome video as usual.
Have to take my hat off to you for your patience.
I’m starting a project as we speak and I hope I can take a page from your book your the best I’ve seen on you tube.

As always 👍 a pleasure!
Nice.

Yep, nuts are nuts, we're always on the same page.
Pretty Amazing... Thanks Again
The cameraman did a much better job after you had a talk with him.
Awesome project. I really like your videos

You make it look so eazy. I wish things would go that well on m build.
'They're proud of their product . . . it's reflected in their price'. I laughed at that comment.

That steering wheel is gorgeous!
Ha, it's the Nokia ring tone from the '90s.
@@JohnReynolds661 Yep, that fits the timeline and the sound! To think, its already 2022...
I could easily and eagerly watch an hour at a time if not more. If television was like this I'd have after 22 years of being television free. Thank you for the extra work of sharing this awesome build.
The second of ::sigh:: before we rewind and the allen wrench is back in-hand…😀
It’s all the little details that seem to take forever

An adjustable wrench would have solved the angle problem, 1.5^ of angle is an easy bend to put into folded sheet metal with no detriment.
Did I miss the rear suspension cantilevered spring/shock fabrication?
I have separate videos for rear cant and front double A arm suspension.
👍👍👍👍
Nice job John, how is Rusty's Mopar coming? Can you get Rusty to do a Video on how he made that turn table? Thank you.😊👍🏻
That gas tank, how big will you make it?
What is your steering rack ratio? Seemed quite a few wheel rotations if not completely miscounted.
Would that not be slow in case of any sliding action and need for fast steering input?
I think it 4 turns which is fine for a manual rack.
After all that great fab work your steering wheel is upside down! Just kidding
I see what you did there, ha!
Howz that corvair build going dude?
Probably* the next video will be of it running, not driving, but running.
