Good luck to all in the giveaway! Here are some of the products used in this video:

Shrink tubing:

FYI, in case anyone doesn't know this: if you ask for automotive hose clamps in stainless (i.e., from your local auto parts store), most likely the screw WON'T be stainless.
Marine hose clamps, however, are fully stainless.
Liked and subscribed, BTW. 👍
Love it. Good stuff!! You’d think I’d know that having boats much of my adult life… but I think Ive forgotten more info than I know lol
Instead of using the worm clamps, a Gates PowerGrip clamp could shrink to secure the sleeve in place as well as clamp the hose in place
Ive seen those! Very cool - was just unsure how well they worked or how hose removal/replacement works.
@@intheshoptv The biggest downside is they are one time use.
@@gofastwclass I assume cut to remove?
@@intheshoptv Yes. But they look cool.
New subscriber. Great idea on the hose. Where did you get the colored hose clamps?
Solid tip. I've don this on smaller hoses. Glad that the look scales up to the big stuff. It's a very OEM+ look.
Yessir, thank you!
Nice. This is what hot rodding is all about
Thanks man. I agree… its fun to try something different
This is a great Idea. I will use this on my build but instead of the worm gear clamps, I will use a wire clamp tool and cover the wire clamps with the shrink tubing. Subscribed to see what comes next.
Sounds like a plan! Thanks for the sub, I appreciate that!
I just started watching this video and I like your style so I'm definitely subscribed. Look forward to more videos! Great idea with the hoses,I think it looks great!
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate that!
Cool idea to match the rest of the wiring-nice!
Yessir. Thank you!
NEW SUSCRIBER!! Like what your did with the hoses something different and new... always enjoy watching and learning from other builders . Look forward to future builds
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate the kind words
Subscribed from Australia. Mazda Rotary guy here!
Don’t see too many of those around anymore. Thanks for the sub!
I was just thinking about this radiator hose problems ... then you popped up on TH-cam 😊😊😊
@@m.masudhabdul8037 hope it helps!
I was thinking about trying exactly this a couple of days ago. They look great just as I imagined. Thanks for the video!
That’s cool! You’re welcome
Me and my buddy did the same thing on his small block Chevy in his S-10. We were able to find a lower hose but not an upper. We both hate those universal flex hoses but that's all we could find so put the loom on it and it looked great. Couldn't even tell it was a flex hose. The only thing we did different was to use T-clamp hose clamp and no shrink. The solid and wide body of the clamp captured and hid the end of the wire loom. Plus we cut ours with a hot knife so it "seals" the end of the looming and it doesn't unravel. Still looked great a year later when we ripped the engine out last weekend to install a 740 horse LS 427. Love the show, been sub'd for a while now.
Thanks! Sounds like a hell of a build! Very cool!!!
Looks good. I was just fighting with finding radiator hoses myself. You did a good job making them look clean and professional, with a custom touch.
@@LTscustomgarage thanks brother. Good work on the channel btw! I noticed a week or so ago that its really coming along!
@@intheshoptv Thanks. I had a radiator cover panel video do better than normal for me, now It's back to growing slowly but surely. Im just a clown in the garage, so Im happy with that, slowly is better than not at all right? I enjoy the videos man, like seeing the progress on the project
@@LTscustomgarage Yep saw that one! and the same thing happened with me. The video you’re commenting on right now really took off and then it was back to crickets lol. At the end of the day what matters is my builds though. Sometimes its hard for me to keep it all in perspective. Hey, just some feedback - they kept your interior videos in my feed for a good while. Dunno if that’s helpful information but thought I’d share - at minimum its interesting to see what gets pushed to your viewers. Hope its helpful in some way!
@@intheshoptv Yup very true, just keep plugging along with the projects and the channel will grow right? We're all one video away lol
And that does help thanks. That whole interior series actually did pretty good.
nice...did that 40 yrs ago on my 69 chevelle...mr gasket sold colored flex hose covering...looks and works great..
Yup. That stuff was the only option back then.
The finished hoses looked good. Thanks for the idea
Thanks for watching!
As a somewhat retired, I call myself retreaded, tech and shop and parts store owner, I'm always looking at the OEM parts to put a custom application together and have raced with them to much success. I had thought about your sleeve addition to improve the looks. Great job. I've still have many OE radiator hoses and if some one has the patients they can usually find a hose for their application, Also Gates has adapter to make a too large hose fit a smaller outlet, they work well. thanks for you video
I didn’t know that about Gates. Thats great info!
Nice. Did this on my radiator hoses, but used aluminium ends to cover the clamps
Very cool
The hose deal ive done for many years. But the covering was a great idea with heat shrink finishing it off. Thank you for sharing
I appreciate that! Thank YOU for watching!
This really is a great idea.
Thank you!
I was watching this video on my other YT account. I liked the idea so much I had to come here with my build channel and say something good! I was going to use those sleeves on my new wire harness but never had the thought cross my mind to use them on coolant hoses, that's fantastic man, I'll spread the wisdom 😎
Thats awesome man, I appreciate that! Just gave you a sub back!
@@intheshoptv Right on!
New subscriber here. Retired from NAPA a few years back having folks browse the hose racks was a common occurrence . We were always glad to help a hot rider. By the way Gates Power grip clamps are available under the NAPA brand.
Welcome! Oh yeah? Do they sell them in-store, or is it an online only type of deal? (Im old school… I still like to physically go poke, prod and smell all the fun stuff at the store)
Subscribed ... glad I searched for a solution I'm faced with right now.
VERY cool. Thanks for the sub and hope it works out for you!
Great job brother
Thanks man. I see your name… I just got my son his first car - an SN95
As a Subcriber I just wanted to say this is a great idea. Cleans up the hose and the wiring nicely with the tech flex. I didn't realize they made it that big. Thanks for the tips.
You’re welcome! Now that you mention it, im curious as to what the largest diameter is…🤔
@@intheshoptv I could see using that also as a cover for a vehicle that has a exposed fuel filler pipe in the trunk. Like if the filler was not good looking or old but still functional. I definitely like your style. It's like budget friendly meets clean functional styling. Thanks again for sharing your ideas and build.
As a subscriber and fellow car builder that's one of the best solution I've seen in a long time 👍
Thank you!! I appreciate that!
The brass barb used for the small hose, another option might work. Get a fitting with only one smooth barb at the end leaving a smooth original diameter mid section for a hose clamp. Instead of the typical hose clamps, try a PEX crimp ring instead. The copper rings can be found in black. The stainless steel rings can be squeezed a bit tighter than the copper ones. I use this to fix my shop air hoses and it works great.
Love having more options!
Subscribed. This is a simple, and relatively inexpensive, way to do a stealthy dress-up of the engine bay. I'll have to check out more vids for tips like this!
Thanks! I appreciate that. And thanks for watching and subscribing!
I like to roll the ends inside. Makes a nice rounded end with no fraying 👍
Its those little steps that make a big difference
Subscribed. Thanks for showing a solution to a problem that I have been trying to solve without ordering custom hoses.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and for the comment!
As a Subscriber I think it a great way of complimenting the 6.0 and keeping things neat and tiddy
Thank you! 👍
Great idea, looks cleaner and adds some abrasion resistance as well. A couple other ways to clamp it are the gates shrink to fit sleeves, or if you wanted to spice it up a little, you could use one of the wire hose clamp tools with stainless, aluminum, or possibly even copper. Thanks for the link for the Techflex!
You bet! Yeah the gates power grips are cool. The only thing is, its more of an option for when the truck is finally finished because they’re a one time use clamp… and these hoses will likely be on and off again before then. Hope that makes sense.
@@intheshoptv Not only does it make sense, I feel your pain... LOL
@@speedbuggy16v Hahaha… aaaaand they came off once already since that video lololol
That ended up looking pretty slick so I subscribed. I had one of those cheap metal mesh tube cover kits for my Police Caprice car. It came with factory silicone extreme long life radiator hoses from the factory that were cool to me but they were green. Everyone else thought they were garden hoses so I eventually had to cover them up.
HAHAHA I know exactly what you’re talking about! I had a 90’s z24 cavalier that had those!
I'm a faithful subscriber. Love the content, love tje build, and have used the advice and skills you've displayed to achieve a safe, reliable and cosmetically pleasant result. Thank you Sir.
Wow, Thank YOU! And good luck with the giveaway.
subscribed. Great content. The truck looks great. Can't wait to see it finished.
Thanks so much. Me too!!
First time watcher, just came up in my recommended feed. Great job, well done video, good information as well. Subscribed today. Going to watch your others. Probably too late for plasma entry but that’s cool. Keep ‘em coming!!!
Nope you’re all good. Every entry counts up till we do the drawing later! Thank you for the kind words and for watching & subbing!
Really like your hose idea. I'm building a 53 f100. Always looking for good ideas to dress up the engine bay. Just found your channel this morning,well done. You had some great comments . I subscribed.
Thank you! Oh man, the Chevy guys may get mad at me but I LOVE that gen of Ford trucks. Sooo hard to find one though! My 55’ is pretty much all Ford front and rear end
I've used heat shrink hose clamps when I worked at the truck dealer and on my personal vehicle. They've worked well for me. I think you might be able to adapt them to this to make it look even cleaner, and I know you can buy them through Summit.
Since they’re a one time use product, I wouldn’t be able to use them until the truck is closer to being finished, as with a custom build - there is a likelihood of the hoses being on and off again.
Sorry dude, but your title "How to make preformed radiator hoses that look great" is a bit misleading. You didn't 'make' a preformed hose...you covered a hose that was already performed. If your title had 'that' removed, 'How to make preformed radiator hoses look great', it would be an accurate description of what you did. Not criticizing your video itself... it's good. 👍
You’re preaching to the choir. I wish I could title my videos “hey today I played with my hot rod” but unfortunately TH-cam has a crazy algorithm that only shows your video to people if the title is worded a certain way. So BELIEVE me… I LOATHE clickbaity titles, but in reality, it’s completely necessary because you, the end user wont click on videos unless “power words”, “emotional words”, “phrases that invoke an emotional response” are employed. Its ridiculous but thats the way the human brain is. I have to spend literally DAYS researching what title will get views before I release a video. I hate it. Dont hate the player, hate the game.
@@intheshoptv Yeah, but I came here looking for how to make preformed hoses and just wasted my time. This was 100 percent you just taking a a close compatible hose and putting flare on it with a little trimming. Doing this wont land you more views either. If you actually made the hose then I would have more than likely came back, subscribed, and watched more of your videos.
@@ApexMotoLab256 Im a small channel, my videos net an average of 1300 views each, and about 25 new subscribers. This video got 70,000 views and 800+ new subscribers. That tells me that unfortunately TH-cam and viewers reward these types of titles. So my options were: this title, which yielded fantastic results. Or “Hey please watch me put some stuff on my hoses” which nobody (including you) would have clicked on. Nobody HATES that is has to be that way more than me but the truth is - you never would have found ANY of my videos, watched, this one, OR commented on any of them, if it had been some other title so… dont get mad at me, get mad at the human brain. Additionally, this title aside, I work really hard on these videos and the content. You don’t have to watch anything else but there is some really great content in there. With or without you, the channel is growing rapidly and has 3700 subs in just over a year, we’ll continue to do great with or without you along for the ride, though I’d prefer “with”… you do what you feel you need to. Thanks for watching anyway.
@@intheshoptv I do not care.
@@ApexMotoLab256 Apparently you seem to, very much in fact.
Great idea! Thinking outside the box
Yessir, thank you!
I'm subscribed. And new! This is my first video here and it won't be my last. Those hoses looked pretty good. I'm always on the lookout for new ideas, especially as my truck ages into the parts black hole.
Thanks! Hahaha I know that feeling
I did the hoses on my classic car with some really cool loom I found on Ebay. It looks amazing!
Thats awesome! Yeah, don’t they have some really cool looking variations of that stuff?
I like the result. In between oem look and fancy AN hoses.
Thanks, Something different you know?
I subscribed
I'm going to use this on my Pontiac just to make the engine bay look a lot more professional. Thanks for the information
Thank you! What kind of Pontiac are you building?
It helps having auto part stores willing to help. Using factory style parts to me is always a better option, when you go too fancy on everything, it starts to look cluttered and then if you have an issue out on the road, it makes things more of a struggle than it needs to be. The engine and cooling system looks great
Thanks so much. Yeah I think that you can still use stock stuff - just make it look better and keep things simple and reliable at the same time
I am subscribed! Lots of good info on your channel!
Thanks man, I appreciate that!
Subscribed. Thanks for all the great content! Looking forward to receiving the plasma cutter.
Thanks man, you’re welcome! Haha, yeah! I love the optimism!!
I have been subscribed for a little over a month now and really enjoying this channel. Keep up the great work!
Awesome. Thank you so much. Glad to have you along!
I just subcribed, I'll be enjoying your channel as I go back and watch previous content. I look forward to seeing the progress made to the Chevy.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that!
Subscribed! Great idea on dressing up those hoses
Thank you!!
A metal 90* (or whatever bend angle you need) and two short pieces of straight radiator hose on the ends is how I've seen a lot of guys solve this. It can be done using stainless steel bends if that fits with your overall look.
Ive seen that! Yeah I was trying to avoid splices but a solid bent stainless tube would be real nice too.
That was a great idea, the only thing I’d possibly change is to put a heat shrink colour over the hose first, you could match the wires with red then the black, or custom it say blue for water, red for electric!! The choices are endless!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Wait till you see the fishing rod shrink tubing with designs embossed into it!
great idea looks awesome
@@brenttamatea7578 Thank you!
Just finished up a ls swap on my blazer. I'm definitely stealing your idea lol. Subscribed
Thanks man! How’s she running?
@@intheshoptv few hiccups here any there but to be expected with any hotrod build. I daily it to work and wrench on it during the weekend
@@raventate4029 Thats cool that you daily it! Im days away from starting this thing and I guess I shouldn’t be pessimistic but I have anxiety that Im going to encounter hiccups myself. We shall see.
Very good Idea, I will try it Thanks.
Thanks! Good luck!
Super super super idea mate !!!!
@@m.masudhabdul8037 thank you!!
Nice work!! Hoses look Great! Love to see the full build and first start up!
Thank you! That’ll happen in the next two episodes!
New sub. Great idea, bookmarked for when I need it. Thanks.
Awesome thank you!
Subscribed! I am enjoying the build.
Right on, thank you!
Great video, I like this product, I'll have to get some.
Thanks for watching
Subscribed, great reference videos. I’m working on a 53 Chevy truck!!
Very cool trucks!!! Unfortunately those cabs are a little tight for my triceratops-lookin’ ass. 😂
I am subscribed. Thank you for the information I can use this for my project
Thank you and good luck on your project!!
Those hose covers look really good. And I just subscribed.
Thank you for both!
I am a subscriber a new subscriber at that. Your channel reminds me alot of my dad. My dad was always in the shop. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you! Its my home away from home lol… and now its yours too!
I just subscribed! Great content. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Working on my 56 gmc. Can use that plasma cutter! Enjoy the videos!
Nice! Love seeing these old trucks come back to life! Good luck and thank you!
I subscribed
Love your videos. Building a 56 as well.
Thank you! Are you?? How far along?
I’m subscribed. I’m a fan of the content.
Awesome. I appreciate that. Good luck!
I like that hose mod. Subscribed!
Thanks so much. I appreciate that!
I’m subscribed! I need to go back and do this on my truck! I just ran flex hoses for now…
The flex hoses are the quick no-nonsense option that just makes sense sometimes.
I'm subscribed, doing a ll8 swap in a 54 3100, so good reference.
VERY cool!
just subscribed. Always interested in new ideas, even though I have been building and racing cars since 1967! Not a bowtie or L-ass boy, but ideas can be applied universally.
And Im not an exclusively Chevy guy. I love all cool cars and engines. My first car was a 73’ challenger and I just bought my son a torch red sn95 mustang.
Hot Damn. I like that. When I (we, my brother and I) get to that point in his build will for sure show him this. Always like to use the Norma Clamps and hide the heads when possible. Subscribed....
Thank you! What are y’all building?
Just found your channel and subscribed; I look forward to more content and viewing older videos. I could also use that plasma cutter on my 77 K5!
Awesome. Thank you and good luck
Subscribed --- First Time Subscriber.
Thank you, good luck!!
Subscribed. Good content so far, thanks
Thank YOU for the sub and for watching!
subscribed! Love the custom coolant hose idea. There's a lot more to unwrap here :-)
Thanks man, I appreciate that
Great idea on saving the part number stickers, but I'd put them somewhere in the vehicle, in case they're needed away from home. Subscribed for more.
Thinking about making a small binder or something like that. Then again… Ive got those video that lives forever too lol. 😂
Seriously though, yeah thats a great idea. Thanks!
Always love trying to figure out a way to do something custom that other people don't do. This is an incredible different inexpensive way to do something custom! I love all the blackout. I am not a fan of chrome and shiny, you did a great job!!! Can I steal your idea?
Please do! Its ironic you say that because, Im kind of the anti-blacked out thing (since like every pick up on the road does it). This build was originally supposed to go in a totally different direction - and then I saw these black wheels and it inspired a complete change lol. Thank you so much for the vote of confidence. I appreciate that!
Another new subscriber here. I've replaced old and flakey onvolute on wire bundles with tech flex, but it never occurred to me to use it on hoses, let alone throw heat-shrink over it.
Thanks! Something different for a change right?
I love what you did. Granatelli Aluminum Hose Clamps would look killer instead of worm gear. Little more money but they are also reusable.
Thank you! Im going to check them out right now!
Subscribed, great idea. Very clean
Thank you, I appreciate it
Thanks for the info. I fight this all the time.
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
I am subscribed! Love this content.
Thank you! Love to hear it!
I'm subscribed. Would have anyway, the plasma drawing is a BONUS!
Thank you! And good luck in the giveaway!
Just subscribed, gonna check out your earlier videos. Like your no nonsense, no cheesey trying to hard comedy. Informative and well done!
Right on brother. While I love a good comedian - I figure people are here because they want to see car stuff! Thanks for the sub and good luck!
Great idea! I'm a subscriber now!
Thank you. Glad to have you on board!
This is something I have been curious about for a while. Subscribed!
Glad to have you along! Thank you!
Liked your ideas and so I went ahead and subscribed. Keep them coming as I enjoy hearing different options to dress things up.
Awesome thanks so much. Really appreciate that!
I'm a subscriber - thanks for the videos!
Awesome thanks for subscribing
Just ran across your channel and like the no nonsense style. Subscribed and will be watching the older content and future episodes. Keep it up!
Thank you. I appreciate that!
Really inventive, I like it. Subbed
Thanks. Much appreciated!
Subscribed. Hoses look good!
Thank you!
Love the info and ideas you share. Working on old cars can be so fun, and a huge PITA at the same time. I am subscribed to your channel, of course.
Oh man, SO true. Especially when you’re filming it all. I have one more scene to shoot for the next video and I cant do ANYTHING until Amazon finally decides to show up. I LOVE the work but hate outside elements causing delays, sending the wrong stuff. Frustrating for sure! Thank you for the kind words and for watching and being part of the journey!
Subscribed! Great informative video!
Thanks. Good luck!
Subbed...love the build. Got a 59 apache almost roadworthy. Ive used the heat shrink hoseclamps from Summit. Work great, downfall is they're a 1 time use, but very clean in appearance
Thank you! There’s been some discussion about those down further in these comments, I might try them just out of curiosity!
Looks good, subscribed!
Thank you!
I am subscribed! I really like your content. I am new but I do like your content.
