Travis, great video as usual. I was pretty disappointed early in the video when you said that you were no longer doing daily updates, however the amount of effort you have put into this one showing us the methods you use to fabricate the patch panels us unreal. I really enjoy watching how you make these pieces, and the explaining you have done on the lower cowl piece is a great example. Thanks again, Michael
Can wait for you to do the floors and bracing in the 36. About to start my floors on my 35 Slantback and as much detail you do in the videos are going to help me greatly! Love the channel!
Thanks for the video, was missing watching you do your magic. I will miss the daily uploads, but totally understand the reason for not doing them hence forth. Keep up the great work.
A lot to digest in this video but still great work. Manhandling the coupe onto the table gave me a couple 'pucker moments'! I would however, suggest you might stick to the 'meat' of your work and never mind the granular details of getting the shop workspace arranged etc. Glad you are getting content out - personally I've been lookin' forward to the '35 coupe work. Cheers.
A couple of suggestions if you don't mind: @ almost 82, I also used to be "young and immortal" @ age 20. I used to pick up the front of Volkswagens. The older bugs used to have a "overrider" bar above the front bumper. Squatting down and using that bar was perfect for lifting the front of the car. Well, I'm currently recuperating from my second lower back "fusion" surgery. So, don't abuse your back. You will pay for it later. GET HELP or mechanical equipment for putting bodies on top of tables. ;o) Your electrician friend did a very nice "real electrician" job on your wiring. First of all, he did the job using EMT (conduit) instead of the DIY junk (romex or MC) quick and dirty style. He also used all 20 amp receptacles. Very nice !! You can simply use that junction box above the band saw for another outlet. If the box is too full, you can add an "extension box" on the existing box to give you enough space for a receptacle with the industrial cover. I doubt that will be necessary. Convert those 8' fixtures/lamps to the LED's using lamps with the highest "lumen" rating you can find and a color spec of about 5K.Use the 120 volt replacements so you can eliminate the internal transformers. You will be very happy. Sorry to hear about less videos but completely understand since I also have a channel and am familiar with the process.
Did you decide to reproduce rear fenders? None of the patch panels currently produced seem to be properly made. I believe the bead on the 35 and the 36 cowl are not exactly the same. Keep up the great videos!
Hey Travis, it looks like you need some lift trolleys or a over roll around crane!!!! Just saying. Yeah RE: that bottom panel taper. Just make up a steel die with the taper so once you pullmax'd it then sit it on and locked in just re dress that bottom fold to suit second die block. Just saying.
Can never get enough of patch panel installation. Continued learning. Thanks
New lights are a well-deserved improvement! That cowl patches are a work of art! "Minty!" Go RAC Garage, keep moving forward!
"it's on the way to greatness" hahahaha, that was spot-on. Whatever works for you on the video approach works for us, we're here for it!
Glad you are back and missed you more than my own kids!
Beautiful work as always!

Keep up the great videos!
Those old metal scissor lift hospital beds make good body work benches, i had one years ago.

Is the discoloration where you've been with the shrinking disc from heat, like the heat affected area around a weld.
I think these videos are better least you actually get to see something in short ones you don’t see nothing. It’s over and done with too quick
These one a week videos SUCK….! Keep it up and you’ll start loosing viewers……!
Do you want your money back ?
