Soooo cool!! Awesome to see all the work Glen has done with grafting in all those panels and pieces. Great job! Now the work begins on getting her all smooth.
Love it when a plan comes together. Good job guy's. When you pulled out of Coastal Blasters looked like the Duck was sitting there watching the cloud front.. Vids are looking better with each one and you're finding your style. Cheers mate.
Good job you had me going there for minute i thought the Rain wa gomna get you.! Glenn couldn't fine someone that cares for Eleanor the way you do..bro you are the best..
My Florida experience is more limited than yours, but I thought you weren't supposed to watch the clouds. You're supposed to watch your clock. It WILL rain, it's just a matter of what time. LOL! Glad you beat the rain. Looks like It came out pretty good. Regards, Solomon
DuckmanCycles and VW Garage Glenn I’m not dogging you on your welding sir .You know we love her as much as you do guy.You put months and months into her and we watched every minute of it
When I saw the rubber duck on the dash I literally laughed out loud! That touch was hilarious! Well played! When Eleanor was in the booth, you should have played some stripper music. 😂😂😂
That bug Looks really cool. I'm sure you have heard of dustles blasting haven't you? A mobile blaster that uses water and media to blast which because of the water keeps the surface cool so no warping. Then a rust preventer is in the mix so that rust does not happen and you have x amount of hours to get a primer on . Seems like that would be the way to go.
@@ya472 epoxy primers or other are metal protectant out there that are good for several weeks before you need to prime. Not sure right off hand who makes them but I have seen them used.
Yep... different name, old german spelling... Eleanore... and has different meaning. Its Miami slang for "the other woman." So yeah, even if you compare my Eleanore to the Eleanor of the past, shes still the other woman.... I dont expect you to get it. There will be a video about it, because more than one person has mentioned! hahaha!
So cool to see this done. Nice work gents.
You're blowing the dust off on the highway, thats time saving. Smart idea! lol
LOL junkman I get ya... actually they did blow it all out before it was loaded but yes I have had small part that we had to do....
I had a hard laugh as i had seen that. And still. Oh men
Coastal did an amazing job blasting her, glad to see everyone made it back with no rain👍👍
Thank you! just a half hour after we got Eleanore off the trailer it rained... Blessed!
Me especially! LoL!
Very well done, that is the best way to honestly do it.

Thanks very much! I kicked my own ass building her. I'm not a pro by any means so I did the best I could, and learned a lot along the way!
@@DuckmanCycles that's what it's all about man... not being afraid to break some shit... lol
Thanks for sharing your trip to blasting. Love that bare metal look !
Testament to Duckman's work on the shell... she's all in 1 piece with no whacking great holes having appeared after blast. Top stuff! 😁👍
He did a great job!
Thanks you guys! I appreciate it!
She looks great
wow, you can really see all the work duckman put into this body to get it the way he wanted.
Thank you! I'm no pro, but I tried my damndest!

Really tying to get them better for everyone... still working with one phone!
Wow, those welds scare me....
doing this for so many years... you become immune to every aspect of this work. The welds are strong and that is good.

Nice hustlin! !! Work your plan, well on her way !! 👍👍
I like your taste of music.
Coastal is a great company to deal with!
Nice. Getting There!
Dads after strapping things down are required by paternal law to shake the straps and say "That aint going nowhere.." XD
Excited to see how you get this bug straight before paint
Lucky lucky lucky!
I foresee some time with the welder.
yes we are going to fine tune before any leveling.
Yep, gonna need some patchy patchy... lol, thankfully only a little blast-through!
Yeah surprised at all the tiny little holes!!
Good job Earl. I'm sure that was a stressful ride home.
The lucky duck hahaha
Hehehehehe!
Curious what type media did you use to strip Eleanor?
I am sorry I dont know exactly.... I need to ask Them! good question they know how to do this very sucessfully Thank you
Glen /Duckman did a great job but I did see lots of holes in the roof.Curious to see how you guys do what you .I grew up using bondo so I’m learning
Gotta love blast-through of my shitty welds! Haha!

I have no experience with blasting, but seems to me that one can't prime until the metal work gets done?

I dunno where you guys have been but the name "Eleanor" has already been taken.
The Duckman named the 56... different spell.... Eleanore..but I know what your saying

Sand blasting is so satisfying to watch. Did they prime it too? It didn't look like bare metal.
You have yourself a fabulous ride my friends. Excited to see her come together. Thanks for sharing
Well you better hurry. you know how our weather is. lol
LoL! Yup!
Thank you Ron! We did.... been a very hot summer for us in Cocoa!
Oh yeah its been roasting hot. As soon as you go outside your dripping sweat. But when winter comes, we will be bitching about the cold....LOL
Duck 🦆 on the dash 🤣
Are you in south east Alabama? ;-)
East coast of Florida... pretty sure the duckman is closer to you
