Huge Step DONE On The Free Abandoned Airplane

- It's taken weeks to get the tip tanks back on the 401! It's crazy to think that we've been working on the free abandoned airplane for over 2 years! 2 years ago when we put fuel into these tanks, they instantly leaked. We replaced the old Cessna 401 tip tanks with rebuilt Cessna 402 tip tanks. This is a major step in getting the 401 back in the sky. Jason, Joe, and Harrison all went on trips this week and Greg got a ton done at the shop. This is a super packed episode; welcome back to Rebuild Rescue!

I am so excited to see this plane be finished... It has also been amazing to see it go slowly go through it's rebirth. Considering the age of it, and how much is being done to it, I wonder wondering if if it will see it's 80th, or 90th or 100th birthday flying??
Joe please wear a respirator when sanding. Paint particles are bad but resin is toxic. I love seeing the 401 getting closer and closer to being complete!!!
And fragments of glass fibers are worse.
Followed the 401 rebuild from the beginning and wasn't even a huge airplane guy. Now I'm an Aviation Fanatic and a fan of the show! Now it's a Saturday morning ritual to watch the show after my workout with my coffee - so relaxing, refreshing and rewarding. Keep up the great work fellas. The cause is beautiful and the art and science of this rebuild is really fasinating to watch. How do I get in on the chance to win the Austin Healy - another real cool project! Thanks, Tom in CT
Hi Tom! The best part of my Saturdays are hearing from you guys, and I'm so glad you make time for us! Hope to talk to you again soon!! To enter the giveaway, comment "I want the Austin" ! Good luck!
Plug and chug to a massive level. Keep it up,, until you're better paid. I want the Austin.
I admire the time and patience you put into doing your projects, I just happened to come across your channel because I was watching some other show, it was just as you came across the 401. I was a jet mech while serving in the Navy and enjoy shows having to do with planes, I worked on helicopters and just find their operation to be fascinating. I would love to have your free car as well.
2 years already, more 3 years to go.
I want the free Austin. Love the videos.
Hi. I have seen all your youtube on 401😊 I'm living in Sweden I'm soon to be 80 years old but so what.
I have been flying Cessna's and Piper Cherokee's sense 1973 but now I'm to old.
But I should be happy to have that Austin.
Ha ha ha I know thats not to be, but I will follow your 401 projekt all the way.
Good luck.

PS. Sorry for my bad spelling.😅
How did you get all the drilled rivet-debris out from inside the wing - vacuum?
second vid I've seen of yall's and loving it. I want the Austin!
Awesome work! Loving the 401 content (that's what got me hooked) but sadly don't have time for the other aircraft, I'm skipping the non 401 stuff just because I have limited time and too many projects of my own! Keep up the good work.
I want the Austin !
Please Please Please, I want that car!!!
Im enjoying the build. So many skills you have mastered. Thanks for your presentation, and not trying to be funny.
Hey 'I want the Austin' will you ship it to the UK😍😍😍😍
I want the Austin
Wow! Already 2 years! I follow you guys since the beginning of the 401 rescue.
Keep up the good work!
I want the Austin
I started following the 401 from the start and now my 15 yr old daughter has just binge watched all the back videos and is as hooked as I am, Thank you guys!
Are you sure your daughter isn't in the closet?
The apprehension of screwing up a brand new expensive part. I feel your pain! Nice job. The 401 is coming together! I also spied Sam.😊
Was wondering where Sam had disappeared to.
Just mark and drill the flipping holes I mean come on dude really
I love your show ! I worked inside large jet aircraft as a steward for 36 years and never wanted to know how they worked . Now that I’m retired I have learned so much watching your show and have a great appreciation for aircraft maintenance guys . Every time one of the guys would enter the flight deck I would think “ delay “ . But to have the jet inspected, safe and secure means much more than any delays. Thanks again for opening my eyes to the hard work and dedication of airframe and power plant maintenance crews Also I want the Austin 😊
For us Patreons and many military and non-military viewers,..... Please list the many individual items, trips and events that Rebuild Rescue has performed and done for us Veterans and other establishments since Rebuild Rescue began these many projects. We would love to read the list and value that Rebuild Rescue has brought to all of Us. We have Never seen anything.
That would be ZERO...
Nope, lots of promises, nothing tangible…what happened to the foundation! Give away? Remember the car? Boat? Other planes-
Another grifter
Just an observer here from the very first episode, veteran, father of a combat vet son…. I’m not an aviation guy; just someone who likes to follow projects along.
I remember when this guy was just trying to find his way and I’m thinking accidentally went viral on this plane rescue. He didn’t really have a plan except to get the engines running and claim the plane.
After that he, like other motivated people, started thinking about his situation and the ways he could sustain his viewers and ability to do this full time.
While he’s been at it for 2 years, he’s only getting started. But since you all get something out of the videos (entertainment and education) it’s not exactly like you have a reason to complain. If you gave money, I’m sure he truly appreciates it. If he’s not done events and such perhaps it’s because he’s in the middle of a dozen issues every single day. Most of these producers get divorced at this stage; the stress of producing is serious. I say we give him thanks and some slack.
It seems like he is selling other rebuilds to fund the 401. The 401 is the plane they said they were going to use for charity flights.
You guys got a TON of work done on three projects!!! Well done guys!!!
Probably one of the best videos you guys have done. I have to give MAD PROPS to Joe. His work ethics, his life history, just his overall perseverance gives me big time motivation. As an old fart myself, he gives me hope that it's never too late to put your heart into something that you love.
btw...where's his new smile??? 😁
Joe is an essential part of the Rebuild Team and we are grateful to have him! He'll be happy to hear you gain some motivation from watching him, and we are all happy you are apart of the channel 👍🏻❤️

Hi can you check the reply to my comment and let me know if that response is from you or someone trying to imitate you. There is some discussion regarding items I’ve supposedly won. Thanks so much. Norm
@normanjkew5618 unless it is highlighted from this channel and if it is asking to jump on a telegram or whatsapp number then 1000% a scam. Damn bots doing the rounds on pretty much every channel
@@normanjkew5618 That's a scammer. Been seeing them often here on TH-cam. I reported the user.
@@coldsamon thanks for getting back to me. That was my suspicion.
Another great video guys. I'm already imagining what the Phoenix will look like all painted up.
Hay, love your show, I want a 310 turbo after watching your show. YYES I'dd Love THE LITTLE RED THING. Wish I could help, I am retired Master Machinist, Eng. I watched you struggle on the drill press and years of using that stuff and it's second nature. I want to see you finish your 310, if you come across an abandon one, or quick sale you got my info. You m9tiva5ed me to do this TH-cam hook up,, thanks 😊 Mark
The saga of the 401 is a tribute to all you guys who've put so much skill and determination into the rebuild. I need that Austin and would love to have it here in the UK where it was born.
That’s so wild to me that a piece of $3 sheet steel was $700…. I feel I could fab that in my shop for next to nothing 😢
Joe needs to wear his mask while sanding bondo Resin & /or fiberglass as well as paint. Just looking out for my favorite guys! Anyway you guys sure been busy on lots of projects & going on vacation which is a good thing. 401 is coming along well. I was wondering how Sam is doing? Keep up the good work! I want the Austin Please!
Great to see things moving forward - can't wait to see the avionics and interior fitted to the 401.
At 34:13
Paint looks like a Topographic Map! 😁
Damn, them Airplanes are on another level from cars.
Only thing I've worked on that is more arduous than an Aircraft, is a Spacecraft. Built and Qualified some Power and Signal Interconnect Connectors for the ISS Main Spar back in the 90's while at ITT CANNON.
Paper trail was a Nightmare! 🤯
Still cool though when I see it go overhead knowing on a very Small level, I contributed! 👍
Mike in San Diego. 🌞🎸🚀🖖
🎉 Mounts are done! Can't wait to see the tip tanks on, she will look great. I would love to see me in the Austin, Dad's looked just like the rescue one you are doing.❤
Nice to see Joe working on the 235. I thought he left Rebuild Rescue (saw one of his videos)
LOve all of the effort you guys are putting into the 401 . . and yes . . .I want the Austin!
Another important part of the project completed. Hard to believe those $4 brackets are $300 each, because they are "aircraft". I'm encouraged every week to see things going forward towards the finish!
That's not a 4 dallor bracket.not on a air plane.
Do your homework, airplane grade aluminium is very durable and expensive.
@jerrywilcox9890 kinda the point I was making. Aircraft grade aluminum is used in certain car applications, and is no where near as costly.
@@petervw56That is either 2024-T3 or 7075 it is not expensive. The cost is that high because that is a certified part.
Another 401 milestone is complete! You did a good job from drilling and riveting the mounts, to mounting the tip tanks - they align perfectly! The fresh paint on the 235 cowling and wing tips looks stunning. As always, keep up the Great work and have a Fantastic weekend y'all! 🙌🏼❤🔥
Thank you for your kind words Stoyan! Happy to see you here this Saturday, we always look forward to your comments!
Is it just me or do the tip tanks look like they are on upside down?…..????
Just looks weird to actually see them fitted after all this time.
Great job guys.
Well that was a full video!! Fantastic to see the progress on these various projects, well done all of you, thank you.
Joe is a master, makes paint and prep look easier than it is
Happy days Joe. You earn your weight in aluminum. Enjoy your trip. And yes,I want the Austin
Man I hope you guys have pictures of everything from where it was until finish, would love to see a full before and after montage once this thing is done!!!
Great idea Eric!
@@rebuildrescue first one I ever had 😎
there's a lot of trash in the new paint looks bad lightly resend and try again.
ALL OF YOU GUYS AND GALS ARE SO AWESOME! A BIG HELLO TO LITTLE JOE AND SAM. GOD BLESS EACH ONE OF YOU. GETTING SO CLOSE! 😇
Respect on how much time and effort has gone into this project. I want the Austin.
Great progress guys and I would love to own the Austin
You’re doing a great job guys.
Following the re-build intently. 👍
Awesome, thank you for your support, we couldn't do this without you all!
Can't imagine Saturday morning without this great show
I can’t believe the cost of those little pieces of metal. I’m 73 and can’t believe how the cost of airplane parts have increased. I would be interested in the Austin Healy.
Seriously, the single best episode!!!! This was incredible. Been in the passengers seat for the whole ride so far. But Joe? Damn that guy is SO friggin’ talented! So impressed. Enough that in my house we have rechristened the 401 as “Big Joe”! Great job on the brackets too!! Can’t wait to see the dashboard get handled. What color will the front of the dash be? Any accent color for the black displays?
Thank you for all your support, Joe and the rest of us are super glad to have you along for the journey! We'll have to stay tuned about the dash 😁
Has it been 2 years?? Holy crap lol it doesn't feel like that long. Great job to everyone!
As I was watching you drill out the upper & lower holes at 7:50…..why do you need to use a sharpie to mark the holes??😂
😂🤣 I noticed that. 🤷
You put all this hard work in, and still find time to take us along the journey. Keep on keeping on!
Met Joe at OSH in Target. Great guy.
1- why not use cherry max pull rivets there? Can get same tensile strength albeit at a bit more weight and cost.
2- when are you taking your A&P test? Clearly your experience on this channel would qualify.
Great episode. Great progress. What I can't believe it's that I've been invested in this series for two years since the 1st "I can keep it if it starts" episode.
We'll done guys! It's amazing to see how much work it's taken to get to this point.
All your support means the world to us. We wouldn't be here without the Rescue Crew, thank you for always being here for us!
I would like the car.
Interesting as always!
It would be Reaaly interesting if you could explain a little detailed sometime about riveting. Like how exectly do you drill them out. Do you use the same size rivet in the hole after drilling? When can you use cherry rivets?
BR from Sweden!
Hey guys. Another great episode! Been with you since day one. Unbelievable how much TIME was involved in just those two small brackets. Really coming together…can’t wait to see the 401 take flight. Yes, I want the Austin!
Another awesome vid! Hey Jason, I want the Austin. Went for flight in a Russian Yak the other day, great flight!
Holy crap, that looked like quite a bit of work to replace those two small brackets what a royal pain. I want that Austin... I bet it looks like perfection the way you all have refit and rebuilt the Plane. Really enjoy having the mechanic explain why systems are made the way they are with a double redundancy in the system to make the planes more reliable. Makes perfect sense of course but I enjoy a explanation of things like this.
Welcome to the world of aircraft that are basically hand-built one-offs. Even if they're built from the same standard drawings, there's no CNC, no universal drill jigs, everything is unique to that specific aircraft. FAA regs and construction methods are basically stuck in the status of how things were done a century ago... even for airframes designed and built a handful of decades ago. Think of them restoring a 1925 Rolls Royce motorcar, but with a massive government bureaucracy overseeing the whole process. Yes; it's more than a little irrational.
I love this channel and I love the 401! My wife and I would love to cruise in the Austin!
I want the Austin!!!!
I started following the 401 from the start and I thought it was going to be an impossible project and you've done a tremendous job. I admire what you do. Love airplanes
That means a lot! Thank you for your dedication to the 401, you all are what make the Rescue Crew so amazing!
I want the Austin! - Been watching this series ever since the first video about the airplane, I figured "hey this will be fun for a few weeks, maybe months", still it doesn't feel like I've been watching for 2 years!
Always enjoy your videos 🙂 I really want the Austin 🙂 Even better is when the 401 takes off for the first time since restoration 🙂
It doesn’t look like putting the tip tank mounts on was that hard, the hard part was getting the alignment to be perfect. You did an amazing job getting everything perfect. Your crew shows their commitment to excellence with every aspect of the project. Even when doing the oil change by checking over the entire engine,hoses and plugs. Kudos to you all. Remember that safety is the most important thing, be safe and enjoy life.
Love the show. I want the Austin. Excited to see the finished 401. Good luck
back in the day like in the 70's I use to worked at Piper Air Craft in lakeland fl. I have not seen you use a chip chaser yet you guys are working your butt off Yes I was a riverter
A very interesting project... I have been following since the beginning... your learning curve has been fun to watch..
I have been in the aviation business since 1974... A&P thru ATP.
From general aviation mechanic to captain of B767...
Your love for the industry is obvious and refreshing... keep up the good work.
and yes... "I want the Austin"
so you flew how many extra hours to save doing a 30 minute oil change? and might i add you fully markered out holes that were clamped into place, like what was that marker pen supposed to do at the 7:30 ish mark? I really wanna know
Well done on all projects! Oh BTW, I would love the Austin! Happy to give it a good home.
Great job I would say that road trips are my favorite especially I want the Austin to do it in😅
401 is looking like it might fly sooner than later. Who would not want a Austin Healy.
I WANT THE AUSTIN 🚘
Also, Joe needs a respirator when sanding…. 😮💨
Bubba could've whipped those mounts up on his bench vise out of aircraft grade aluminum and it only would've cost a twelve pack of beer.
I want the Austin. Great show I wish I had a chance to get with you in Marshall Michigan. Make sure you stop at dark horse brewery for a burger and a beer.
TIP TANKS!! Oil change!! Engine parts!! Joe back!! What an event filled time!!! YEA!!!!!!
I want to Austin. =)
Why can't you use the kind of rivets with the pin in the middle that pulls the back to you instead of having to back it up with a bar?🤔😎
I love the work that you do, can’t wait to see all your videos … count me in for the Austin… I want that Austin
Just put the bracket on the plane……….been watching since day one, but this is getting tedious now.😢
Such committed hard work, Youse guys are awesome Oh, I want the Austin!,
I want the Austin. You guys are getting more done. It’s slowly getting there but perfection takes time. Keep up the great work!
Jason , Awesome work with Greg. I hope Joe has a Great Time in Utah- Yah Baby ~ Oh Yah - "I want the Austin Healey" refinished by 23rd Garage ! Yah Man - See you on the next one guys ~
I want the free car for my wife
Ok. I'll try it. I want the Austin. Its fun watching this aircraft come together
I'd be concerned that the drilled and punched rivets will cause damage to the fuel cell.😮.
She is looking good Jason and I never win anything but here I go I want the Austin see you next week
Joe is awesome, but please remind him to wear his mask when sanding. That dust will ruin his lungs.
I'm still curious. With all the time and money wouldn't have been easier to buy a plane ?
I want the Austin it be very appropriated. Been watch your channel for a long time
25:36 them oil hoses are shot sorry been gone for 2 months and come back to see your oil cooler hoses rubbing on the front cowl also the air hose is melting not good !! need to cut an old rad hose to put over the new hoses to stop the rubbing !!
I never heard a guy talk so much about drilling a few holes and be so unsure of his abilities.
Me and my boys love watching the episodes, and "I want the Austin"
This is my go-to channel when I travel. Love it! Keep up the awesome work!
Where's Sam? He's barely been in any videos recently!
Love what your doing with the 401 I I want the free abandoned Austin
Make this OLD Sailor Happy, I want the Austin 🇺🇸
Followed this series since the beginning. I never thought it would require the amount you guys have put into it! Totally approve of your attitudes, but wow. I look forward to following it to first flight and beyond!
And, oh yeah, I want the Austin!
I want the Austin, right up my alley. Nice work guys!
Always watching and learning from you guys all the way from Ghana 🇬🇭
Can’t wait to see this plane ✈️ fly
When ive been in that position with drilling ive cut apiece of card stock the size of the area in question and made a template. Love your channel. Thanks for all you do.
Glad the mounts are in the ‘free abandon airplane’ Jason.
And btw, “I want the Austin” 😃
Good job on taking proper care, finding the problems and fixing them. So a question, will you have 5 or 6 rivets that you haven't removed. LOL
Almost makes you think that you should have just taken it to pieces and then put it back together.
The nice thing is that the plane will be right and good for a very long time to come.
In a way, it's a good thing that you did not go with Sam, you might have wanted to do a slightly larger 2 engine airplane project. Just like the Austin could be a fun little project for me.
