I love seeing your dad out there with ya! Is he becoming a car guy or is it simply good father/son time???
DIY master class, wey done 👍.
I lost several center caps on the front when running SOLO II. I'm of the opinion that the heat from the brakes causes them to shrink. I started gluing them in with silicone. They still shrink but the glue holds them.
Heat causes things to expand/grow not shrink.
@@farmtruck9885 Agreed. But plastics can end up smaller after a heat cycle and that's exactly what happened here.
Love it! You killed this! GREAT JOB
I remember the old jeep truck. Around the time you revived the old Plymouth trailduster. That’s how I found your channel. The old vehicle rescues.
Got Pops out there helping, NOICE!!!!
I remember yall pulled that out and got it running. Believe it was by a boat
The jeep
Been watching your channel for awhile now bud (I still miss the focus) and I'm really proud of how far you've taken this car.
As far as content creators you are one of my favorites as you're out there hustling every day and learning as you go.
Keep up the good work man and keep hustlin
My Wife's a Psychopath! She always pours a bowl of Milk then add Cereal 🤣😂😄 BTW... The Stang is one Sick Fox Body! I prefer the 86' to 88' T-Bird Fox Body cars myself.... 6'4" don't fit in the Mustang, but the Thunderbird, like a glove :)
Craig , I'd sure be proud of that paint ! I'm sure your Dad is proud of you for not being a video game slug like so many your age too . College ,TH-cam and 4 cars in various stages of restoration and helping friends when needed . I think you manage your time very well ! Ain't nothing you can't do If you set your mind to it .
Well to be fair you can be into cars and also into videogames.
I enjoy being well rounded
Well, I felt the psychopath thing, I never knew 😂😂😂 kidding. Car looks great cool seeing your pops working with you.
Car is looking good. I have same car basically. 92 lx 5.0 hatch, black on black.
I had it painted through insurance years ago and they screwed it up by not using elastomeric (flexible paint for plastic) on the plastic bumpers. First time I got a stone chip up front 6 inches of paint flaked off! After that you could literally spray chunks off with a power washer. Ruined it they did.
You are better off doing it yourself at least you know what you have. Never let an insurance conpany within 15 miles of your classic car!
Cheers.
Keeps looking better. Guys may start making you offers on it. I wonder if you lost the wheel caps from bottoming out. Then again old cars with steelies and wheel covers flex enough to pop the covers, so.....
Good to see Dad joining in 👍🏻
Show us you acceptible 500 dollar maico type paint job that's a long way from a fiddy kidler job 😁
Sure makes me miss my 89 gt, flowmaster exhaust, accell ignition, BBK headers, short throw shifter, crane letter cam and stock gears great on gas blast to drive just smashed my nuts every time I got out and I'm not a big guy really...lol #ecoboostF150
Looks good thanks to all Your elbow grease ! Great job 👍
Keep up the good work and updates . Thank You .
🇺🇲🇵🇷🦊👍
What you say from 18:00-19:00? Wow, you speak with the wisdom of an old man. Couldn’t have said that better. Eye opener for sure. Thanks, I needed to hear that
Try Menzerna polish - it leaves a deep wet finish, smells good, doesn't dust as much, and comes off easy. Best polish I have ever used.
Ah yeah that looks fuckin spicy. Love watching this fox come along. Nice job on that front end.
The car isn't perfect, nor should it be. Its a daily driver, and for that it looks great. Nice work, light years better than how it looked previously.
The wheels probably didn’t flex. I’ll bet the heat from the brakes made the caps soft and the sought freedom. When I autocross or lap my Fox I remove the caps just so I don’t loose anymore
That looks awesome I have a 93 that is all black just like yours. I bought it and it looks good from afar but it’s far from good the guy I got it from had it painted at Mayco. After seeing this I’m going to try this myself thanks for the video
By far this is my favorite foxbody because it’s what a normal person would do to it. Keep it up
Called me out. Have had my 2nd gen ram sitting in the back of the yard for 2 years.. gonnz paint it.
Nice try little brother, from Michigan say's, to much thinner in the megars brand of polish especially for fresh paint and can't do it out in the sun. It turns the shine cloudiness. I did it to on my first paint job back in the 70s.
Thanks for the videos always been more mechanically minded but I think I will try some buffing on my rigs to spiff them up a bit I have been waiting on that power wagon rebuild is how long I have been watching lol thanks for the content
taking sandpaper to fresh paint is scary asf but so worth it, plus black paint is not very forgiving at all, couldn't of been white😅
Do you know anyone that has a 390 I can get for my 1967 F100 or should I go with a 302 crate?
I pour my cereal, then pour in a little cream, then pour in the milk until it completely buries the cereal. That way I can have enough milk to pour a second bowl without getting the milk back out again.
That came out very nice, black is a pain to work with, it shows EVERYTHING from two miles away. I do the same thing when I shoot a two stage on one of my cars/projects, orange peel drives me nuts. My first two stage paint job was on my 67 Cougar. Too much air pressure, the material was too thick, not enough reducer, and it was like the surface of the moon rather than like an orange. That was in 2008, I am a lot better at it now, but still not a professional. More of a hack when it comes to paint and making body panels flat. Need to rework the Cougar, get it running and drivable. The last time I drove that car was 1987. I have owned it 40 years this summer. Bought it for $450 when I was 13.
Shot the 65 GTO in 2016 and it came out a lot better, but because that car was so incredibly rough and rusty to begin with, I was only building a driver, so you can see every bad bit of body work in it if you know what to look for.
I agree don't take 10 years to make any car perfect thats 10 years of not driving it and enjoying it perfect it along the way and rack up them miles🤘
cool video thanks for posting I had done that to my F-250 one time and it's amazing how fast the basket fills up if you go to a legit detail or body shop supply, for what you did on that car harbor freight can't beat it you got your Maguire's heavy cut medium cut and then polish....
Your car looks sick now that it look showroom clean from far away, but would also would pop off the mustang letters would to paint the letters white on the bumpers💯
It's good to be a do-er, is amazing what you can do with your hands , so get busy people 👍👍👍
I’m loving the way this car is turning out! By the time you get done with it, it’ll look really really good!
You did a great job on the car. I'd rather have a driver than a garage queen. Any upgrades planned for brakes?
I have seen centre caps get hot enough to melt off on front wheels especially when running hard on the brakes. Saw one fall off when we parked and got out, then a few seconds later the centre fell off with strings of plastic like cheese still coming off.
Compared to what You started with It looks pretty good Show Car, NAW!
Wish I had a friend like you, you lend tools and also pick them up. Lol ✌️
Wrap the center caps with electrical tape and pack it in the hole. I guarantee you won't lose them again.
Next time you wet sand...use a spray bottle with a little drop or two of dish soap...
Looks good! I have a black fox too! A fine cut or push and a good wax would hook it up!
The foxbody is looking amazing I bet the guy you bought it off thought it would never look that good. Hats off to you for keeping it real like most of us that spend hours on the ground in are driveway or on the side of the house working on are projects. Thank you sir
Have you painted before? It looks really good!!!
Always wondered what happened with that Jeep truck lol. Really cool to see it
Hey bud if you add a little bit of soap to your water use a bucket it works a lot better makes it more slippery
You can repaint the trim too. Clear it it'll never chip fade or peel off again.
Bro the jeep truck I’ve been waiting so long to see it again that things sick
So where is that driver's front center cap Craig???
Dude that thing looks CLEAN!!!!
Trim around the side windows is a awful sight to see. Fix that next.
Man, that car has come a long way. Nice work!! I can tell you, having too perfect of a car is no fun. I built a nice car, all I do was worry.
The owner of the local Merlins shop had the most perfect '55 Chevy street rod I ever saw . He got rid of it because he was scared his kids would scratch it up with their bikes in and out of the garage . Perfect example of a car too nice to enjoy .
Good job , cheep education , next time you'll nail it
The caps popped because of the twisting force on the rims when you turn
You remind me of the cartoon johnny Bravo !!
Man...the difference is WOW! Looking awesome...
I remember when chris got the jeep, been waiting to see it again
Why is the door and fender alignment so bad?
Nice and simple. Gotta enjoy them
love what you've done to this car considering where you started with it, great job
Lol I have that same buffer and stool.
Somebody didn't have time to steal all 4 lmao
Drivers beat trailer queens 7 days a week!
J10 yes sir love that truck!
You do great work man you're awesome I'm working on my fox too
Awesome video as always Craig!!🤘🤘
Team cereal first, then milk 👍🏿
That was great to watch. Love your attitude with this.
A little dish soap helps when doing this
Nice job , by the way where did you get those hood pins
Nice job but more Galaxie please!
Y’all should have both had on white T’s knotted up when washing!!!!
Also paint looks awesome!
Looks a lot better bud, good job!
Paint looks good man for real
I have wet sanded and buffed many vehicles. Like you proved, it is very satisfying and definitely not a budget buster. Your video got me stoked. I'll have to do my daily/beater 01 F150. Of course it's black. Keep up what your doing, it's great to see someone your age with that much enthusiasm. I think we all agree, seeing your Dad jump in really rocks. 🤙
Looking very sharp craig,well worth the effort for a nice daily.nice ur dad chipped in think he knows what it feels to have pride in ur ride,and q-time with his son.keep on with pimpin rides craig we enjoy living thru you!!!snooky pa.remember that big red turd furd you had long gone are those days!💥🖐😋🤪👍💥
Looks real good. This is what I want to do. A simple cheap paint job. Don’t want to worry about scratches on an expensive paint job. I’m going to try it myself
You may be proud of you’re self!!! It looks very nice , aspecially for a spray job in you’re garden, it looks good!!! Greetz from the Netherlands , ramon
Craig, I said this already several times, and I say it again, you 5.0 Fox is a Diamond in da flesh! I owned a detail shop, have detailed 6 figure cars, wet sanded old cars and made them shine better than when they left the plant where they were build… you’re spot on, what I like is, you use every guy stuff! And HF stuff is good and produces decent results! One last thing, you can be DARN PROUD of yourself and you Fox Body! I’m a smidge envy. Well I own a Black ATS Coupe and let me tell you, nothing beats the shine of a deep Black paint job! Keep rocking
Brew2l would be proud.
In my experience in polishing paint, especially black, a rotary polisher works better to polish out sand scratches and it creates more friction and heat to work the compound on the paint the brinf back the gloss, then do the polish/glaze work with a d/a buffer.
Came out great man good job
Inhaling that 105 lol.
Danm looks good shinny lol
The caps were stolen.
Definitely one of my favorite videos. Almost matches the patina other rest of the car, I'm sure when you're 20ft away you don't know! For the amount of your own sweat equity, it really turned out. Not into ford's, but I really enjoy your channel. 3 times your age, but man I enjoy learning from you! Keep up the interesting content and definitely looking forward to the screaming truck engine build
That jeep brings me back to watching the start of the crown vic parts going into the f100 so hype to see how far you’ve gotten with your passion content is never dry💯💯
no clay bar first?
I remember that truck!
Nice vid man. I will give you some pointers for next time that helped me in my earlier days. Black is hard to shoot just the color and i think you did a good job considering. Wet the floor next time you paint it will stop dust and shit from going on the project. I would at least drain the water out of the compressor the day b4 and have at least 2 filters one at the gun and one at the tank. Spend the money and buy a good clear coat all i use is PPG for clear. Better to have more than less. When wet sanding the finer you go the easer it buffs. When wet sanding or buffing concentrate on one square at a time mark it in your head then when that is finished move to the next. hope these tips help. Btw BAD ASS STANG
Great job on that Fox body ! If those Galaxies turn out anything like the Fox body they are going too be awesome!!!!
Was a jeep gladiator
Good looking Hot Rod !!
Looks really good Craig! I'd be proud of how it turned out, all things considered.
Great job on the body work and paint. The Fox has come so far from what it was when you brought it home. 👍
Next time you do wet sanding outside turn your water hose on to where it just barely trickles and keep your panels wet that way. Fantastic job on your paint and buffing!
When I first started to go to cruises and shows and the like I did this same thing to my truck (also black) and it took the paint from a 5 to a 10. Nice that I still had pretty much factory paint to work with from a thickness standpoint. Time consuming as hell but worth it.
From there I ended up going full on show truck now haha.
I remember that jeep!
Me and my dad spent all last weekend wet sanding and buffing my truck love spending time with him
You should let the guy who traded you see his car now. Its like day and night. You have done so much work to it,it boggles my mind. You really do good work.
