    I'm so glad to see your son helping you on this project, I am learning so much just by watching I know he is learning even more by doing it alongside you. You have a wealth of knowledge to pass down to children and these are the forever memories they will remember you by. As always a great video and looking forward to the next one.

    Great tip I learned from Eric the Car Guy... If you want to get the tie rod end out of the drag link or a ball joint out of a steering knuckle... Hit the thing it goes through. It works most of the time...

    First time I've seen your parts cleaning setup. Have you considered the cheap Harbor Freight cabinet with the cheap self built upgrade options? Total investment ends up well under $300 and the shop vac added to it keeps all the dust to a minimum.

      Man, I can totally relate to working weekends...too many of them. Good to be busy though. As my Grandad used to say, “Make hay while the sun is shinin’!” Hopefully I can catch you at a show sometime down the road. I gotta see that machine in person...and pick your brain on a couple of things. Maybe that blue one will be done by then too.
