I’m happy to see that other people enjoy just browsing through a junk yard ! I go to my local yard several times a year to just “ look “ around. My wife thinks I’ve flipped my lid.
@@SarahnTuned I still remember product code numbers from when I used to manage a restaurant, and used to call in all our orders. Also most of the phone numbers of my friends in HS, which is coming up on 30 years ago. Names are a mystery, though.
Sarah, have you considered trying a more abrasive sand blast media? For the amount of cleaning a restoration you do you should go get a Harbor Freight sand blast booth. I think it will get you a better result in less time.
My Dad said do the best you can with what you have to work with and Sarah you do and that makes you pretty special in my book.Also you know your cars and I drove several of those cars when they were new.
The salvage yard visit is always fun. I’m with you on the excitement of seeing so many different makes. The AZ yard definitely has better pickings, as apposed to NE rust buckets. Fun Sarah
Muriatic acid is just impure hydrochloric acid. It can eat up aluminum pretty badly. Lungs, eyes, skin too, just depending on how concentrated it is. You'll see lots of recommendations to use a full face respirator, and to use the stuff for masonry and tile cleaning only. If it is concentrated enough, a vapor fog will literally climb out of the bottle and then up your arms and into your face.
Poor Charlie always loosing rock paper scissors and getting the sheety jobs, he's loosing on purpose. What a gentleman. Grams would be so proud of the hard work you are doing on her old truck, it's looking beautiful.
A junk yard without rusting vehicles, no way. Yes, I'm from a Chicago suburb. Great videos; you're motivating me to get back into working on cars as a hobby.
Only YOU can make navigating a junk yard fun and interesting. Keep up the great work, there are always lots of people willing to listen to your brain doing it's thing...
Love the walk through the junk yard. Being a boomer, it’s nostalgic to see really old vehicles I once owned or drove when I was your age. Your PPE was “rad”, I believe you youngin’s say. Respect on the many attempts to restore the aluminum transmission. Aluminum is a very stubborn metal to return to new appearance. Thanks for another great production. 👍👍👍
@@SarahnTuned Age and it’s culture appropriation is a relative thing. As a fellow Boomer, I can say we still share many of the qualities and attributes of your younger generation, like fun, automotive restoration, and just general curiosity and knowledge. That’s what draws all ages to your videos….well, and your marvelous sense of humor and world outlook! 🐧
@@SarahnTuned In the late 70's I was roaming through the pathetic junkyards we have up in New England...where it's a race between the parts hunter and RUST. In college (early 80's) I was every shade of green with envy because a friend went to school in Tucson and constantly gloated about his access to these miraculous places they call junkyards in the southwest. They're more like suspended animation chambers...
Replace those three rubber plugs behind the shifter with freeze plugs, and save yourself a big mess and a new transmission. My favorite yard is Pull-N-Save in SLC, UT.
The Dodge in the beginning of video is a 1969 Dodge Polara. Curiosity got the best of me and I had to look it up. Btw- I love the way you talk, twist words, and use innuendos. I get your meanings and jokes. I do the same thing and you're the only other person I know that does that at the same level as myself. I love it. I call Firebirds- Fire Chickens and Thunderbirds- Thunder Chickens. As for your comment per the sticker and Australians, I was in Darwin, N.T., Australia 6 years ago and I died LOL when I saw a Southern Rebel Flag sticker on the back of a car while I was there. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Hi Sarah, I am in total awe of what you do with vehicles, amazing. When I am looking at your videos, I have no idea what you are doing, but you make it so entertaining, curse all you want, love it. BTW, I just bought a Ford Bronco Sport outer banks love it, lots of room in it. Take care, Pieter.
Muriatic acid is a great all around product. You can clean with it, balance the ph in pool water and use it for a drain opener, great stuff, but smells like rotten eggs. haha One of my 30 year old ratchets was slipping, I took it apart and filed the teeth and cleaned all the gunk out of it. I cleaned it so well, it look brand new and I thought, Sarah would be proud. 😁
I also love junkyard walks. It makes me wonder who may have owned the car I'm looking at and where they might have gone in the car. And every once in a while, you strike gold and find what you're looking for. Keep up the great work.
Sarah, I understand why you need the aluminium case clean, but unless you’re changing the oil and filter, you probably won’t see the case again, so don’t worry to much about it. Great content for the pick a part yard crawl! Can’t wait for the Caddy road test! Thanks again for sharing this information!
Sarah, the most satisfying thing any serious car owner will do is spend hours in a wreckers yard. Filming Charlie & yourself in the wreckers yard, I hope to see more of. 13:16 you look like that girl in the original Blade Runner that was wearing a see-through rain coat. Cosplay at work!
It’s coming along very nicely Sarah. Glass bead blast it is the way to go. You just need a large enough cabinet and seal any opening up. I have done it in many aluminum and drivetrain parts. Things will look brand new again and you will be happy with the result matching your standards.
0:38 No, you're definitely no moron of any kind. You've got almost half mil YT channel (100% you'll get there this year), you've got the shop and the project cars. A moron wouldn't make it that far. Stupid is as stupid does, and you do right things. Your quirky mind is your precious asset. Love your jokes and innuendos.
You're awesome! Thanks for keeping me sane in this trying time. You make me smile with your humour. Everyone should watch your channel. The world would be a better place.
Don't know about the junk yards there, but every one I have been to in my area there's nothing left of any car. Like you got 1 hour after a vehicle arrives before it's picked clean. Love the video though. Honestly, the transmission looks great.
My favourite restoration This is a lovely truck and worth every bit of effort especially since its so sentimental. I wish I had something from my grandparents to restore :)
Nobody can question Sarah's work ethic! She's a grinder and very detailed/task oriented. Surprised you didn't wear gloves when working in the junkyard - given that you aren't sure what you could find there. Glad you got some sun! 😊
Need to keep a bottle of baby powder at the shop for those swamp ass issues .lol .laughed my ass off .thanks for the honesty .you rock .!!!!!!!👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️🥰🥰🥰
Sarah your gram is definitely looking down on you with a big smile giving you a big thumbs up on all the hard work and dedication to restoration of her truck. Great job. Gonna look great when it's all back together.
Muriatic acid is used to clean fresh brickwork after the masons point up the joints, We used to spray it on brush it down then rinse it with water. I find it has multipul uses. Used to to clean rust from a motorcycle gas tank worked great. Just a mild acid.
Sarah, one of the most common uses for muriatic acid is to clean missionary (brick) they use clean fire places . What ever to do use protection on skin face and eyes. Stay safe.
Have you heard of this super cool power tool called a, "Dremel". Doesn't cost a whole lot. You can use it in really tight spaces. And you can use small, fine wire brushes to clean and buff things. The tool can also use small cloth-like buffers for polishing surfaces. I'm certain it would work well with Brasso. IMO, it beats dressing up like a bag lady and using caustic chemicals. I'd gift you a few cats to go along with your new garb but I'm certain they wouldn't stick around due to the smell of the chemicals. They'd probably find their way over to more fun territory. Like that vehicle with the hoarding rats. 😜
Hey, cool video. You're committed to restoring your truck to factory condition. Respect. I think the process you're looking for to restore the factory sheen on alumin(i)um castings is called vapor honing. There's lots of videos and diy stuff here on youtube. And you can replate those brackets and bolts using the copy cad setup from caswell plating. It's real zinc plating with a yellow chromate wash. It's the real thing. I'd love to see you do this. If you REALLY want to see this truck look factory new, you would be very satisfied with the results.
Cool to see a Datsun :) My first car was an 83 Datsun/Nissan Stanza (hand me down). I loved that little hatchback. It had both Datsun and Nissan tags on the back because it was the year they were switching.
Everything I have read on the subject says you want to use glass bead blasting on Aluminum casings and it will bring them up like new. Small sand blasters are very cheap and you just put glass bead blasting media in a sand blaster. IMO it would be a worthwhile investment if you plan on doing more restos.
I really enjoy your video intros. I am looking forward to the one where you have Charlie standing next to your Bronco and you say, "I have a Charlie horse." Haha
I enjoy going to local salvage yards also! That is a very nice and neat salvage yard you and Charlie were @. Alot of nice vehicles that look like they shouldn't be in there! Mazda RX8's look like nice project cars! Do they sell the whole vehicles @ that salvage yard? Glad you found the parts you needed! The 94 Ford Ranger is looking great! Can't wait to see it completed! It will be 1 of nicest 94 Ford Ranger xlt 4x4 around! Take care Sarah!
Happy Saturday Sarah!!! Yes, Tucson U Pull It is awesome, most of the vehicles there are fully intact for the most part, and its east side location can't be beat. High 5 to Charlie!! Stay excellent!!!😎
I suggested the muriatic acid. I use it all the time for intakes, heads, and transmission/transfer cases. Spray it on (spray bottle will work, I use a garden sprayer), let sit about 30 minutes, you can see the oxidation dissolve away, test with your scrubbing toothbrush if desired, then flush with water/pressure washer, let dry. As for PPE, just stand upwind!
Sarah I don't know if anyone suggested using a Soda blaster . It works well especially with all the hard to reach with a brush on the transmission. Keep up the great content
Hi Sarah, just FYI, If you have Harpic Disinfectant where you are, We use it on Motorcycle exhaust's to clean them up. Its removes burnt on crud & rust deposits very well, I may just work on all of your aluminum parts as well !! Love your Vids & sense of humor too :)
Wish you would try sandblasting with 220 grit aluminum oxide. I think you will be pleased of the results. We used it on everything. Leaves a satin finish on steel , cast iron and aluminum.
Yes, that always works, but sometimes you need to clean something without taking it apart. You have to be very careful using sand around openings, mechanisms, seals etc.
Excellent results, Sarah! Especially considering that you are working mostly on your own, with fairly limited equipment. That Ranger is going to be pretty special once it is finished....
I'm so glad you never responded to my Instagram PM about the popperdoodles. This is much better. Plus we got to see a Charlie in the wild! Muriatic Acid is used to adjust the Ph in pool water.
Blaster and a rag and LOTS of elbow grease will do amazing things to casr aluminum. The corrosion is aluminum oxide, the same thing they make grinding wheels and sandpaper from. Oil puts it in suspension and the rag works like a polishing wheel. The corrosion will keep getting smaller and smaller as you rub on it. Dont wash it down untill your hapoy and it can almost make shine like chrome with enoygh rubbing.
That Dodge is a '69 Monaco, a unique look for the 2nd gen Monacos with that front grill that year only. That car would make a great project for someone!
Owner of a fancy ranger and following closely. Try using brass wire dremel wheels. I had a corroded ATV engine and used them and it wasn't too abrasive and left a great finish but used a lot of wheels. Also try brasso or autosol, the have acid and abrasives that work together with your toothbrush.
A woman who walks through a junkyard with such glee, and nerds out on old cars, is a rare and wonderful thing indeed.
That is the tidiest junk yard I have ever seen in my life - Plus the location looks beautiful.

Spray bottle for the acid and a respirator. Let it set a short period and spray with water. I use it all the time
The silly things you come up with is what makes your channel fun and you so induduring.
As a former 2x Ranger owner can’t wait to see it finished
When working with acid , it is best to prepair a large bucket of baking soda and water for safety sake . Keep a spray bottle full handy .
Triumph TR-7???? My first car, a convertible. Thanks for bringing back those nightmares. lol Keep rockin´.
When you’ve finished dressing up the transmission casing put a sacrificial node on it

Yes, that always works, but sometimes you need to clean something without taking it apart. You have to be very careful using sand around openings, mechanisms, seals etc.
@@phila3884 yeah I wouldn't sandblast a transmission without splitting the case and blasting the case stripped and separate.
@@phila3884 You could always use baking soda or dry ice. It won't hurt anything if it happens to get inside.
