- In episode 25 of the Hotwheels Legends Tour $2K budget 1948 Bedford Build, we attempt to turn a jerry can into a fuel tank filler.
That's right, we transform a metal 5-litre jerry can into the fill point for an alloy fuel tank we mount under the tray. We fabricate a jerry can holder that mounts to the side the wooden tray, making it like any fuel container mounted to the side a vehicle but the twist comes when we TIG weld a pipe on the back of the jerry can that leads to the fuel tank. The only noticeable reveal that this is the fuel tank filler is the fitting that is TIG welded to neck of the jerry can, connected to a hose that acts as the breather for the fuel tank.
That's not all After fabricating the mounts for the fuel tank, we spray the entire underneath of the back of the vehicle with stone guard and change all the tray hardware to stainless steel bolts. We mount new shocks the rear, run new brake lines from the rear wheels to the front of the vehicle, run all new fuel lines, and run electrical from the front to the rear bringing the rear of the vehicle close to being 100% finished. We also add a few finishing pieces of wood to the tray, some finishing rubber trims to the rear fenders and bolt the cab down for the final time.
On the interior, we fix a patch in the floor and attatch some rubber pieces on any sharp edges of metal for both aesthetics and safety reasons.
The build is getting close to completion, and the bar has been raised again in this episode, turning this build into something unbelievable for the meager budget of $2K.
Is this the best and highest quality budget build on TH-cam?
You decide, but we certainly think so and believe it may well be in the running for the title of Hotwheels Legends Tour winner.
Love the fuel filler set up! Amazing work as usual!
Thanks! It's a bit different!
Finishing touches ❤❤ all these little things is what makes this thing unreal
thanks mate
I swear i was sitting here just saying I wish he had another vid on the Bedford rdy, and 1 minute later here it is.
this one nearly wasn't I accidently deleted all the footage after I finished about 20 hours of editing on it. I had to buy a recovery program to try to recover all the deleted files I recovered about 75% of the files and then had to start editing it from scratch again.
Love the filler turned out really well
thanks
Looks good geat idea
Thanks!
Merry Christmas! Cool, cool, cool fuel filler. Yet another amazing addition to the build, I don't know how you think up these ideas, but they are incredible !😊
thanks merry christmas to you
Its looking so good, getting close to completion can't wait 😍 🎉
Thanks! Yeah, its getting there!

Looking fantastic mate. Great detail. Maybe wheels need some pinstripping. Or some pearl coat. Getting ready for a test drive soon. Good luck. Happy holidays. 👍👍✌️🇬🇧☃️
the wheels are painted in pearl, am thinking of powdercoating them eventually there is a nearly identical gold pearl powder coat powder color available. but a little pinstripe around the outside of the wheel would look cool, what colour do you think?. yes close to finishing then test drive cant wait. happy holidays to you aswell
Love the content and how you achieve things . Keep up the good work 👍🇦🇺

Maaate, you wanna truck this lil beaut to a few hotrod shows....even down to Melbourne Hotrod show hey??
yeah will definitely take it to a few shows and see the reaction if good we may take it interstate to some larger shows
Man I need a project that gives me unlimited creativity... I was thinking of doing a campervan build maybe but like a rat rod camper build!! What you reckon... could be interesting!!
Sounds good. I have a long nose Bedford here that is fairly complete that would be good to build. One i won't be doing
@copperheadkustoms you selling it? What you chasing?
@@Brooksyscarrestorations 1200 if you want it
Yeah from CHinnaaa my wife ordered a chainsaw, they sent her a picture of one..... I am madder about it than she is. :P Since you talked about now im just laughing at it,
haha my wife nearly did the same thing there was a lamp they were around $30 then she seen the same one but cheaper around $6 was just about to buy it then seen that it said that it was a picture of it. you should be able to get it refunded though they are generally pretty good to refund stuff that you complain about
There’s NO way you can finish that for under $2k no chance , if you’re buying stuff from Bunnings . 👍
Don't think I've bought anything from bunnings.
