Looking good. Anyone can paint a vehicle, not everyone can prep a vehicle for paint. Your doing it the correct way. Quality over quantity. DP & MBTS for the win !!
After watching your videos for a year or so now, I'm not surprised it took longer than expected and went further than expected. I see you do the same thing when you're working for other people, going further than expected, and doing a better job than they ask for, so I think it might just be in your nature. Thanks for sharing!
You two working together is always entertaining. People will argue about this, but when it comes to tighten bolts. You should always tighten from the nut side and not the head of the bolt. I had to through that in there. Looking really good guys.
Fun fun fun video. When you watch the video you hate to see it come to a end. It is a little bit like a soap opera (cliffhanger) will MBTS cure himself of his sandpaper aversion? Will rust creep in before Lt. Dan gets painted? The answer to these questions and more on the next video of DP and MBTS. Keep up the good work. Be safe Be good Enjoy life.
I own a drive train shop. A little advice. Im pretty sure those are International RA472 or 474 rears. pull the power divider lock air cylinder and make sure the cylinder and piston O ring are in good shape. IH rears work opposite of all other rears . air unlocks the power divider and spring pressure applies it. If you are leaking air into the diff housing, you wont hear it. You will be riding around with the power divider locked and not know it. It will destroy both rears.
@@DirtPerfect but we’re they really the good old days if they had those stupid plastic clip things that I break almost every time I try to take them out?
After a day filled with stress at work, coming home and watching you two and laughing my backside off really helps. A million thanks. Might as well go the extra steps and really do Lt. Dan some justice. Do a full photo shoot before he gets all dirty, because that truck is going to look so DANg good.
There's nothing worse than body work. You hit the nail on the head "it takes lots of patience" That's why I will never be good at it lol. Truck looks awesome Michael. Great video.
Mike if you end up having to reuse that windshield seal. Put it a pot of water, heat it up to just below a boil. Then take it out using gloves. Then reinstall the windshields. This will make the rubber soft enough to get the glass in. God bless
I honestly didn't mind the audio issues. I understand that you dont want to put out a bad video but just seeing the progress and the craftsmanship of you and MBTS makes the vid worth it
then it's worth taking the time to do it right. I will be looking for the next video of working on Lt. Dan, so be careful and stay safe and you all keep on joking and laughing and smiling and enjoying the building of a great looking truck. As always, Jeffrey !!!
Jack all the wheels off the ground and put it in gear and paint them as they're rolling slow ,like when they make the driveline. Just have to paper tape the frame. Wont have to pull the drivelines.😉 Put a sun visor on it Mike. I'm still looking for a chrome radiator shroud for ya.
Happy new boots Aaron. I did notice the treads on them when you were in the cab, lol. Mike put a same segment of the video in twice too. All the work is the the preperation as you know Mike. Great job, lads.
Hey dirt perfect you know what you should of done is paint the gas tank green that would of made the truck much nicer the man behind the scene had the best idea painting the truck green and black green is my favorite color too
ahhh dude, I got all my stuff done before noon, I am back to hit ''play all'' that happened today and well aprt of yesterday lol hahahahahhaha wait, don't admiot to that ... don't hit repl
You did add sound deadener, while the cab was stripped? The holes in the back of the cab for a tractor are not needed. The cowl vents were addressed? I think you two are doing a great job.
That windshield gasket should have a built-in lock strip on the outside. It looks like a seam but if you put a small flat screwdriver in it, it will open up and give you more room to take the glass out or put the glass in. Those windshields use to be cheap (like $30 some bucks) but it has been a few years since I've had to get and install any so they might be more now. You fellas are doing a fine job on the truck.
I knew it was going to go to "large car" status. I could hear it in the tone of your voice in the last LT Dan video. Did you know that you are supposed to use a special aluminum primer when painting or doing body work? The sand blasting probably made it gritty enough for the bondo to stick, but smooth aluminum or sanded panels need to have a primer/sealer sprayed on it.
As many times as I have driven those international trucks , I have never noticed that had stand-up cab on them . I guess every cab is a stand-up cab for MBTS. Seriously though, truck is lookin awesome .
Good video again LT Dan is looking good my friend you and Aaron keep up the good good work that truck is going to look sharp When y’all are done with it tell Aaron I said what’s up be safe my friends
Thanks boys, after having a day of not feeling too good,watching that has made me feel a whole lot better.... when Aaron stuck his head out of where the windshield should be, all it needed was for him to say "cuckoo"
Lt. Dan looking Good! Mike, what TMBTS meant to say about the cross member was, he number the bolt holes on the frame because he is not 6ft tall. When you painted the frame, you covered up his markings, so he was unable to match up the cross member to the correct holes!
I worked in a body shop through the winter months when I was younger, a skill that carried over through the years with a few lost brain cells from lacquer 🤣 so I'll reserve my cheese grader use. Zinc Chromate primer is best to seal things up but the shop is a dust bowl to paint in. Clean it up the best you can and flood the floor with water, hope for the best. You have gone to great lengths and the truck will turn out fine. Cheers 👍 Have to order me a pair of those boots and see what the fuss is all about.
Just throwing this out there for future reference... the little handheld sand gun and hopper at harbor freight with really fine sand works amazing for little touch up spots! I have used it for touching up rust spots on and ground stud cleaning on frames I have the snapon blaster because I got it cheap, but it’s identical to the harbor freight one It would be perfect for those rivets
Are ya' doing flamingo pink on the cab with chartreuse lace on the inside. Be sure to put in some cup holders for your Carmel Machiato double chocolate expresso.
I said the same thing when I was your age Mike. We lived through the fifties and sixties and never knew how good we had it. At least then the national debt was a few million.... not the zillion it is now. You took it this far so a visor might happen... a bit spendy but wow what a difference looking through glass at the sun or snow. Both really suck when so bright that the birds have to land and walk. I too was surprised when no nests in the ceiling or sides of cabin on the inside. They make a perforated board that is a sound deadener and for me a clearer head at night or day when you crawl out of your sixteen hour shift in a truck. Oh is it gonna shine.
Lt Dan needs a locomotive horn. Between that monster bumper and brush guard with a locomotive horn, lesser vehicles would jump out of the way. Really good body work people have to be part or all saint because it requires a level of patience I can not fathom. Still recommend some good sound deadener and insulation for the cab if you have it partly tore down when this video came out. I think when this truck gets done the poor puppy dog might get jealous with all the miles Lt Dan is going to get. As for audio issues if we can hear you then its good, I would think most of us understand you are recording in a shop not a sound booth.
Really have enjoyed watching this truck go together, keep up the good work! BTW wouldn't worry so much about the audio, always sounded fine to me before, Background sound is supposed to be there and could always hear you fine 99% of the time.
Was I seeing things or was MBTS stand up in that cab, removing the head liner😳 Prep for paint is a pain in the butt!! Love the way MBTS try’s to figure out what went wrong 😂 then DP drives it home😂👍🇺🇸
Might have been better to complete the work on the cab surfaces BEFORE you painted the chassis/fuel tank etc in view of the dust generated. Can't wait to see the finished job though. Expect it will be beautiiful regardless. What a worker is MBTS!!!! Must be great having someone to help who is as enthusiastic as you are DP. Keep up the good work! you guys. Cheers from Scotland!
Seems like that's the way it always turns out, well this looks good so might as well just keep going and about half way through you realize that you're never going to finish if you literally do every little thing Lol... you're doing great and it'll be awesome when it's all said and done and definitely be something that you can be proud of!
Very entertaining this morning- no problem with the audio or video, except when MBTS says you turned the camera off. Happy to hear the “backing up 2 miles” twice...that’s funny. John.
Hello; I also liked your quote of the day about the "Good old Days". Question, If this is going to be a dump truck why do you still have the trailer connectors (air and lights) on the back of the cab. More stuff to paint around. I am happy to notice the location change of the exhaust inlet to the stacks. I know that the truck was painted some time ago But here's some more tips. Use box fans with furnace filters on the suction side pointed out the door to help keep the place clean. Dust settles, let gravity work for you. When spreading body filler either cup the spreader or trim a slight excave or depression in it. This will leave it a little higher in the middle, less sanding. It is a true delight to watch you and Aaron work together. Like Martin and Lewis. The work on the truck ain't so bad either.
DP and MBTS need to start a comedy show up, but anyway they are awesome you too Capt. K and can not leave HR out cause she the boss. DP Lt. DAN is looking awesome
I work on aircraft these days in my late part of my life and have a little bit of experience with sandblasting and aluminum. A flat surface it usually works ok of the right media is used. However concave areas and around rivets drip rails and door jams you are pretty much assured warping will exist to a point. The question is what your willing to live with. When repainting these areas we find chemical stripper and a pressure washer is best path and then using. A small spot abrasive wheel or abrasive blaster (not sand ) usually works best and does the least damage. With that said we blast the hell out of steel and aircraft frame tubing. It’s not prob an issue with your truck but another issue with sand blasting is it can put a static charge and even magnetize a frame or panels. Which in an aircraft with magnetic instruments (as well as the radios ) is well a problem. So you might have avoided a worse issue if he had tried to blast each rivet head as it could have induced more warping. Another issue I would caution with is dissimilar metal contamination. Steel wire brush on aluminum often can embed small bits of steel in the aluminum and thus causing rust and dissimilar corrosion under the paint and primer. I realize you probably already painted and primed it at this point. This contamination can be reduced by some wiping down of the aluminum surface with chemicals made to treat the aluminum and seal the surface which is a good idea with aluminum anyway and you all may have already done that anyway.

Coming along nicely! I would still like to see MBTS put a black and green candy cane stripe down that driveline!😁
I agree
He needs to have a narrow white stripe in between the green and black for separation/definition.
It will make for some great future videos.
Looking good. Anyone can paint a vehicle, not everyone can prep a vehicle for paint. Your doing it the correct way. Quality over quantity. DP & MBTS for the win !!

Love this series. I know I'm not watching them all in order but what you have done so far is brilliant. Man, she looks good!
I own a drive train shop. A little advice. Im pretty sure those are International RA472 or 474 rears. pull the power divider lock air cylinder and make sure the cylinder and piston O ring are in good shape. IH rears work opposite of all other rears . air unlocks the power divider and spring pressure applies it. If you are leaking air into the diff housing, you wont hear it. You will be riding around with the power divider locked and not know it. It will destroy both rears.
Better look into it. Sounds like good advice.
Lots of over spray on that cab😮
"We lived through the good old days and didn't know it." -- DP quote of the day.
😁
How about some sound deadening material inside the cab before you put it back together.
Yes sir we sure did
@@DirtPerfect but we’re they really the good old days if they had those stupid plastic clip things that I break almost every time I try to take them out?
Dyna mat behind all of the interior panels to quieten it down a bit. Replace the horns with Grover stuttertones, you will not be disappointed.
Lt. Dan needs to be a parade truck....a lot of work to get scratched up...great job on this build
... especially the green driveshafts - all the green driveshafts 👍
90’s ya haven’t lived unless were late teens in the 70’s😎 Lt.Dan coming along great🤩
After a day filled with stress at work, coming home and watching you two and laughing my backside off really helps. A million thanks. Might as well go the extra steps and really do Lt. Dan some justice. Do a full photo shoot before he gets all dirty, because that truck is going to look so DANg good.
lol thanks
What i like about the build is you are taking your time and doing it right the first time. Keep up the great work 👍 👏 💪 👌.
Thanks
There's nothing worse than body work. You hit the nail on the head "it takes lots of patience" That's why I will never be good at it lol. Truck looks awesome Michael. Great video.
Great video Mr Dirt Perfect and Aaron
Thanks 👍
put some sound proofing on the inside of the cab.looking good guys
Mike if you end up having to reuse that windshield seal. Put it a pot of water, heat it up to just below a boil. Then take it out using gloves. Then reinstall the windshields. This will make the rubber soft enough to get the glass in. God bless
Man that looked like a lot of work. Great outcome though. The extra work always pays off in the end!
I honestly didn't mind the audio issues. I understand that you dont want to put out a bad video but just seeing the progress and the craftsmanship of you and MBTS makes the vid worth it
Thanks
Your welcome MBTS. When you get Lt Dan done I am coming to see it.
The banter was flowing like the Lava in s week.
Great stuff guys the extra effort will pay itself off in the end I’m sure.
Aaron it is like you being the DAD and MIKE YOUR kid just watching DAD doing all the work
then it's worth taking the time to do it right. I will be looking for the next video of working on Lt. Dan, so be careful and stay safe and you all keep on joking and laughing and smiling and enjoying the building of a great looking truck.
As always, Jeffrey !!!
Jack all the wheels off the ground and put it in gear and paint them as they're rolling slow ,like when they make the driveline. Just have to paper tape the frame. Wont have to pull the drivelines.😉
Put a sun visor on it Mike. I'm still looking for a chrome radiator shroud for ya.
Good job guys enjoyed watching the DP paint and body shop at work. I enjoy watching all the videos.
Happy new boots Aaron. I did notice the treads on them when you were in the cab, lol. Mike put a same segment of the video in twice too. All the work is the the preperation as you know Mike. Great job, lads.
Hey dirt perfect you know what you should of done is paint the gas tank green that would of made the truck much nicer the man behind the scene had the best idea painting the truck green and black green is my favorite color too
Mike and Aaron, if you’re going to do it right, go crazy and do it awesome. Great job. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Thanks
Great work DP and MBTS, I wait for your videos to come out and just like Dave I too get motivated with them. Thank You Dirt Perfect,,
" I am not overly motivated today." Me too. That's why I am watching DP.
Lol
I wasn’t either until DP and Captain K posted.
I was watching DP too but my mom came home so starting watching this instead
ahhh dude, I got all my stuff done before noon, I am back to hit ''play all'' that happened today and well aprt of yesterday lol hahahahahhaha wait, don't admiot to that ... don't hit repl
Psh ain’t that the truth
Good morning, LOOKING GOOD!!!
Awesome video and thanks for the helpful knowledge on Bondo. MBTS and DP thank you for the videos and the laughs along the way.
Well done Red Dog, he needed new boot's and Thanks Mike and Aaron.
You did add sound deadener, while the cab was stripped?
The holes in the back of the cab for a tractor are not needed.
The cowl vents were addressed?
I think you two are doing a great job.
Yes the video is perfect sound did come back love the truck
It’s Great to see it coming along , love the blooper clip

You might consider dyna mat or some sort of sound deadener/ insulation in the cab. Especially useful when winter comes around...
Love the attention to detail. It's the little things. I think the name of the truck inspired you to go further. Lookin good DP!
Thanks
You guys are amazing together. Thanks again❤
Dirt perfect you are a professional entertainer.
Lol
Thanks
Good morning DP and MBTS. Paint job turns out great, looking forward to the lift axle been mounted
Thanks
I'am from the Good OLD Days 1950's - 60's !! You young bucks LMAO !!
All your body work will show off after the paint lt dans looks awesome mike thanks for the video buddy
I knew it was going to go to "large car" status. I could hear it in the tone of your voice in the last LT Dan video. Did you know that you are supposed to use a special aluminum primer when painting or doing body work? The sand blasting probably made it gritty enough for the bondo to stick, but smooth aluminum or sanded panels need to have a primer/sealer sprayed on it.
That is going to be awesome when done. If it’s worth doing it’s worth doing right. Stay safe
As many times as I have driven those international trucks , I have never noticed that had stand-up cab on them . I guess every cab is a stand-up cab for MBTS. Seriously though, truck is lookin awesome .
The best paint job is in the prep work so should look awesome 👌😎👍
Good video again LT Dan is looking good my friend you and Aaron keep up the good good work that truck is going to look sharp When y’all are done with it tell Aaron I said what’s up be safe my friends
Bondo and a long board makes a lot of things perfection !!
Thanks boys, after having a day of not feeling too good,watching that has made me feel a whole lot better.... when Aaron stuck his head out of where the windshield should be, all it needed was for him to say "cuckoo"
Thanks for the great video Mike!
Lt. Dan looking Good! Mike, what TMBTS meant to say about the cross member was, he number the bolt holes on the frame because he is not 6ft tall. When you painted the frame, you covered up his markings, so he was unable to match up the cross member to the correct holes!
BondO is my friend. I am not a pro, but I can get amazing results. It is all in the preparation and a LOT of sanding.
Paint the drive shafts green, yes please. So long as it's Dirt Perfect green. 👍
I worked in a body shop through the winter months when I was younger, a skill that carried over through the years with a few lost brain cells from lacquer 🤣 so I'll reserve my cheese grader use.

Mike doesn't mind work. He can watch it all day. Lol God bless
Thanks
I keep saying with such a beautiful relationship you two have you should have rainbows painted on the dump bed.
Just throwing this out there for future reference... the little handheld sand gun and hopper at harbor freight with really fine sand works amazing for little touch up spots!
I have used it for touching up rust spots on and ground stud cleaning on frames
I have the snapon blaster because I got it cheap, but it’s identical to the harbor freight one
It would be perfect for those rivets
Love watching you guys awesome job on Lt.Dan 🏴
Thanks
Oh Happy Day "Bonne journée a vous FRANCE LYON
TOP JOB !
Just let me know when i can bring another truck in for you guys to work on.
Just waiting to see the Captain looking pretty.
I use a stir stick with a piece of sandpaper wrapped around it for flat surfaces.. Looking good!!!
from a real bodyman your doing a good job. great vid. cheers nelson.
Great job looking great keep up the good work love your videos thank you and you two are still having to much fun
Man, that thing is gonna be sweeet rolling down the road! Loving the progress vids

Are ya' doing flamingo pink on the cab with chartreuse lace on the inside. Be sure to put in some cup holders for your Carmel Machiato double chocolate expresso.
Love to see you two working together
Thanks
Another Great Video, Enjoy watching.
Cool 😎
Yup you procrastinate procrastinate and procrastinate until you get started and then you don’t want to stop

Great video 👍 The rent must cheap if mbs has to do the job twice, flat windscreen are easily broken.
DP it's unfair to be putting all the blame on MBTS. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Loving this morning cup of coffee
Awesome!😁👍I thought the Audio was greati never had a problem.anyhow,have a fabulous day!
Looking good 👍
Another great video guys !!! The truck is turning out awesome . My dad always told me if you want something to look really great
Lt Dan needs a locomotive horn. Between that monster bumper and brush guard with a locomotive horn, lesser vehicles would jump out of the way. Really good body work people have to be part or all saint because it requires a level of patience I can not fathom.

The effort will be worth it in the end.👍👍🇬🇧
We need the MBTS official “I must block the sound of sandpaper” playlist.
Mike, do it right. Fill all the dents with bondo. Even the roof next to the running lights. Make it right. Truck its looking awesome.
Great job guys.
Thanks
Might have been better to complete the work on the cab surfaces BEFORE you painted the chassis/fuel tank etc in view of the dust generated. Can't wait to see the finished job though. Expect it will be beautiiful regardless. What a worker is MBTS!!!! Must be great having someone to help who is as enthusiastic as you are DP. Keep up the good work! you guys. Cheers from Scotland!

Looks good ! It’s definitely getting there.
🇺🇸🦅🌏⚓️🇺🇸👍
In the end you will appreciate the extra time you spent, it will be a long time before you get a chance to paint it again. Looking good!
Thanks
Very entertaining this morning- no problem with the audio or video, except when MBTS says you turned the camera off. Happy to hear the “backing up 2 miles” twice...that’s funny. John.

Hello; I also liked your quote of the day about the "Good old Days". Question, If this is going to be a dump truck why do you still have the trailer connectors (air and lights) on the back of the cab. More stuff to paint around. I am happy to notice the location change of the exhaust inlet to the stacks. I know that the truck was painted some time ago But here's some more tips. Use box fans with furnace filters on the suction side pointed out the door to help keep the place clean. Dust settles, let gravity work for you. When spreading body filler either cup the spreader or trim a slight excave or depression in it. This will leave it a little higher in the middle, less sanding. It is a true delight to watch you and Aaron work together. Like Martin and Lewis. The work on the truck ain't so bad either.
Thanks and yes
Great work on Lt Dan guys!
Thanks
Maybe a lighter color on headliner and inner door panels .. gunna be very dark in the cab
I love working on them old trucks everything is simple an easy to work on.
Me to
Great as usual my two favourite people on TH-cam 🤣🤣❤️❤️
Thanks
That Crain helps a lot
DP and MBTS need to start a comedy show up, but anyway they are awesome you too Capt. K and can not leave HR out cause she the boss. DP Lt. DAN is looking awesome
22:33 I was waiting for MBTS to bust through the opening like they do at football games to get even for the sandpaper caper.
It's not the bolt tightening that's interesting, it's the play between you two that's great.
I work on aircraft these days in my late part of my life and have a little bit of experience with sandblasting and aluminum. A flat surface it usually works ok of the right media is used. However concave areas and around rivets drip rails and door jams you are pretty much assured warping will exist to a point. The question is what your willing to live with. When repainting these areas we find chemical stripper and a pressure washer is best path and then using. A small spot abrasive wheel or abrasive blaster (not sand ) usually works best and does the least damage.
With that said we blast the hell out of steel and aircraft frame tubing. It’s not prob an issue with your truck but another issue with sand blasting is it can put a static charge and even magnetize a frame or panels.
