That donor truck is paying off big time! Not just money saved, but they’re real Ford parts. I can relate, to your $8000 pressure washer story. That’s why my wife always wants to go with me, to buy parts!😁👍
That truck is so nice it deserves a carport! I always liked carports... When I was younger restoring my cars we would drive over to Sambucci Bros. across from Shea Stadium and the owners would let us strip a car like what we had then we would bring the parts up to him and he would say "Ten bucks". We were so happy saving a ton of money! =D
I think you are talking about the VT1100C3 Honda Shadow Aero, produced from 1998-2003. I was never much into motorcycles myself but I remember riding pillion on a road trip just over 100 miles each way. My buddy was a physicist and knew all about the slingshot effect they use to accelerate space craft around planets and said that going around a roundabout with me on the back made for a great practical demonstration. Have to say it was a lot of fun burning along the little windy roads we have over here, in glorious sunshine. Great memories.
I watch all of your videos and enjoy them very much. Your quality of finished product always impresses me. I really appreciate your ability to pick and choose where to put in extra and where things will be good enough and still get premium results. Also, I can relate to your 8000 dollar pressure washer. Years ago I went to a dealership to buy an AC compressor for my pickup and went home with a brand new mustang...and a compressor.
Boy that truck is really going to be nice loved seeing all the parts. Your pressure washer story reminds me of my next door neighbor who was like my grandfather to me he is passed away now. He went into a marina store one day to buy a new fuel line for his boat ended trading his aluminum boat on a beautiful 18ft brand new Black and Silver metal boat. LOL
That's a great idea Dave!! We just pulled off about 2 yards of it that was holding the door panels on!! We mentioned you and your idea in the next truck video, we filmed it today!! Thanks!!☺
Man great job of paying attention to details. I repaired an old Jeep and it is a lot of work just to get it ready to paint. Thanks for all the stories and tips. Thanks for the video's.
Yeah Buddy!! The leaves and moisture tore up most of the cab but the bed had a cap on it and that was in pretty good shape!! It's a long bed and I was gonna shorten it but decided to continue fixing the one on my truck!!☺
Swish some Redkote around on the inside of that tank it works and its easy. Just pour it in swish it around for 5 min. or so and pour it out. It will dry hard and it works good. you can reuse what you pour back into the can.
Roadking, i have been looking for a 64 to 69 F 250 with a V8 and a 4 speed. i cant believe what people are asking for them, your gonna have a very desirable truck when it is finished
The paint on the door jams the step and the door panels looks sweet nice job. I'm Indian too so turquoise looks great to me I love it. that color might be seafoam green?
Nah that was completely shot!! Mike got his Borescope out so we could check it out and he started laughing!! I said is it really that bad, then he opened the door and threw the seat forward revealing the fuel tank and the complete top was rotted off!!☺
Good stuff mate. Comin along nicely. I'll take a guess as to what happened to the bike. Someone offered you $5 more than what it owed you and it's fate was sealed, there n then lol. Cheers RK.
Here's something more depressing!! I only had it 6 months, then bought my Harley Roadking, I still have it consider it new!! Only has 6500 miles on it!!☺
I was saddened to see that you declined to work in the rain for our entertainment. This just shows a low level of commitment and general lack of fortitude. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I voice my disappointment at your refusal to risk pneumonia for your audience. I hope we won't have a repeat of this behaviour in the future! 😜

Yeah Buddy!! The truck still has enough good parts left that I should be able to sell it and at least break even!!☺

I wish I could put up a carport!! I'd put up two of them but the Township won't allow them and I live across the street from the Municipal Building!!☺
I unboxed a second-hand mirror for my Jeep, just before watching this, I was in the mood for looking at 'new' old parts. 😁
New old original parts are always great!!☺
I really enjoy these F-100 videos,
appreciate the effort of taking me along the journey,
Cheers.
Thanks alot Dallas!! We enjoy making them!!☺
I am 65 and don't have half the energy you have.love the blue color.
Thanks Ian!! That's because you're alot older than Me!! I won't be 65 till next February!!☺
A lot of people don't realize how much work it takes to get a vehicle back into shape.
That Aero is a good looking bike 👍
Yeah Buddy!! Especially this truck, it was closer to the Scrapyard then ever rolling again!!☺
I have watched every episode of the Ford resto and have enjoyed every one. Man, that cab is going to be airtight by the time you're done with it!
Thanks alot Chris!! We appreciate you hanging around, we try to keep them interesting!!☺

Velcro works well to replace the fuzzy window wipes.
That's a great idea Dave!! We just pulled off about 2 yards of it that was holding the door panels on!! We mentioned you and your idea in the next truck video, we filmed it today!! Thanks!!☺

Thanks Dbut!! Yeah prep is a killer, it only takes about 30-45 to paint it!!☺
Man RK, that was quite a haul from the parts truck. Amazing how many vehicles with good stuff are sitting out in fields or in woods.
Yeah Buddy!! The leaves and moisture tore up most of the cab but the bed had a cap on it and that was in pretty good shape!! It's a long bed and I was gonna shorten it but decided to continue fixing the one on my truck!!☺
It's a lot of work King , But this is going to be better than it was new !! ENJOYED..
Thanks alot Shawn!! It's keeping me busy, that's all that matters eh!!☺
Thank you for the update, I'm looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks for hanging in there with us MrShin!!☺

Just like a kid in a candy store. I could hear the excitement in your voice. Love it! It's going to be a nice truck when you are done for sure.
Thanks George!! You know the feeling when things are starting to come together!!☺
Looking good.

Especially after the concours restoration
Good vid RK - I enjoyed it :)
Thanks alot Buddy!!☺
One piece at a time
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
Those little pieces for the windows can cost some money and the window crank up parts like when the shaft and handle wears out
Yeah Buddy!! All that Nickle and Dime stuff adds up!! And nothing is ever a nickel and dime, it's always at least $15-$20!! ☺
The paint on the door jams the step and the door panels looks sweet nice job. I'm Indian too so turquoise looks great to me I love it. that color might be seafoam green?
Thanks Shartne!! I always liked Turquoise also!! They call that Tropical Turquoise!!☺
Soak the little rusty parts and bolts in apple cider vinegar.then wire brush them.you.ll be amazed how nice they will come out
sweet
Thanks Capt!!☺
Wasn't the gas tank on your parts truck any good?
Nah that was completely shot!! Mike got his Borescope out so we could check it out and he started laughing!! I said is it really that bad, then he opened the door and threw the seat forward revealing the fuel tank and the complete top was rotted off!!☺
@@805ROADKING I guess that the cap was left off, seeing how the rest of the interior was in good shape.
Good stuff mate. Comin along nicely.
I'll take a guess as to what happened to the bike. Someone offered you $5 more than what it owed you and it's fate was sealed, there n then lol. Cheers RK.
👍
Gotta stop walking into places and buying things you don't need. It can be addictive. ;) ;) ;)
Yeah Buddy!! ☺
Here's a depressing thought, that Honda Aero bike was new 22 years ago, yikes...... :S
Here's something more depressing!! I only had it 6 months, then bought my Harley Roadking, I still have it consider it new!! Only has 6500 miles on it!!☺
This is no longer a quick job 🙂
It stopped being a quick job two years ago!!☺
