    Doug, glad to see you are using a gas tank from something else. That shows how you are saving money and using your thinking process. I think you are doing a good job of rebuilding the car and saving a bunch of money.. I still am impressed with your guts to rebuild it. That takes a lot of planning and foritude. Your seem to be doing a good job, so far. I really liked the way you did the bottom of the tailgate area, it looks very good. I am watching every thing you do to the car, just amazed, I guess. I'll let you get back to it.

    Doug, you have a couple of characters there as helpers in the shop! The car is looking great. That passenger side looks fantastic, and I still can't get over how nice that rear tailgate opening looks. You literally made it all from basically nothing and it looks factory. Great work! If you don't already, make sure to check out Mike over at "Junks Automotive".

    You could drop a couple of bolts down thru the holes in the floor, weld them to the floor, used nuts & washers to fasten the straps Wouldn't have to disturb anything to drop the tank. You may have to stop & love on the boys!. Rock On, Doug!

    Looking under the car and then inside of the floor where you have been welding makes you realize how much mig wire and argon gas that you have used. Great fab work going on here Doug. Be a Great Nomad by spring.

    Because I know you can, do a captured nut for front to attach strap . Gives you a little wiggle room to start bolt when holding the tank up with your shoulder and a cat in your face

      What is a captured nut? Is it pre-welded to the strap or tank? Or loosely attached so you can slip one side in? Like to know cause this is a bit of a learning experience

    My opinion on the welding a capture nut on the floor for the gas tank straps; use a carriage bolt and point down to ground. Tack weld the top of the carriage bolt to the top of floor. Then the strap can be installed with some variance of adjustability. Starting a nut on the carriage bolt is easier than starting a bolt that goes though the sheet metal caged nut. Possibility having bolt protrude into the compartment and mess with the plywood your putting down.....

    • @EllisKarKustoms-v9j
      @EllisKarKustoms-v9j  19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      That makes sense but unfortunately as you'll see in the next video,I welded the nut and washer to the floor.That said,I could run a bolt from the top side down and weld it to the nut if that ends up being better.Thanks!

    Hey Doug looks like you’re making great progress. I’m not a T-shirt guy but if you had hats I’d be interested for sure. I am really impressed how far you’ve come in just these few months I’ve been watching. Just thinking back to your first video you’ve come a mighty long ways! I’m glad we’ve met here on TH-cam and if I’m ever in your area I’d love to see this in real life. I’ve never been out of the Midwest though so the chances are slim I’ll ever see it. I’ll keep on following on the web and once again thanks for taking us all along for the ride!!

    I’m exited about the progress Doug. The ford tank will work out nicely. The route you laid out for the straps will look like a factory install. Looks like the top is in pretty good shape. I know it’s a little early for paint colors but I was thinking how nice the body would look black with some flake in it. And the top a turquoise with some pearl and metal flake. Oh well just a thought lol. Keep up the great work. Til next time.

Like you ( well maybe not like you , but I’m retired,and life always kept me from building, actually building my dream car with life the kinda money it took to raise 4 kids and a couple Ex Wife’s just made it cost prohibitive for me) anyway ive spent 500.00 a month ( my Allowance every month) since Dec 2023 till now buyin parts , casual comment by my grown son one day in sept 2023 , he said Dad , I Wish you and I had Built a HotRod together, before yer Health got bad (I’ll be 63 in February) anyway without much more said , Well pardon my mouth , That lit a Fire under my ARS ( ima Scot) so some how I found a 48 Chevy Styleline 2 dr . Had been a forgotten project as many do , long story short it was listed 1,000.00 bucks no motor or Trans, we went down and looked at it 100 miles away , 4 link already done in the rear end chevy 10 bolt like from Chevelle maybe , 74-79 front mustang2 clip with disc brakes ( only thing worked was the brakes lol) someone had bought a eBay floor kit for it and welded it in, but nothing welding body to floor or frame aftermarket center line wheels rolled front end we thought we hit the Jack pot. Came with new in box 4 row aluminum Rad with electric fan kit and relay. So I gave him half down , he said I’ll deliver for 100.00 bucks , where do ya live 100 miles north I told him , he said , I’ll bring it up Sat. He showed on schedule, I said bud , 100.00 bucks won’t cover yer fuel in that big dodge hemi, and McDonald’s, kinda feelin bad maybe give him 20 more , he said , no sweat my wife wanted this out of the front yard you did me a favor lol. So unloaded tarp up (pacific northwest starts getting moist up here around sept.so outside wrench time was over . Anyway 2 months later Dec1 2023 (we have a web site up here called offer up, kinda like Craig’s list) add read 1956 Chevrolet 150 2 dr wagon no motor or Trans 5,000.00 or trade for dirt equipment. On a Whim mind ( now Remember 1956 chev 2 dr wagon is the car I fell in love with in 1973 I was 11 yrs old Lord please that’s the car for me ) Anyway , I sent him a message that I had a 48 2 dr chev did he have any interest in a swap . He answered back kinda Quick, said well let me come look , he was here in a hr. We took tarp off , after a few mins, he said he would think about it . He called just after dinner , and said he and his wife had talked about it , and after dinner prayers his wife and i decided I should have the car , he knew nothing of my love of the car . And what I can Say , The Lord Does answer prayers in his on time , even if it was that of a foolish 11 yr old boy. So Douge for you to be doing reverse Osmosis turning a hardtop into a Nomad , I’ve Never once ever heard of it being done, And your doin a Fine Quality job on a budget (gotta use ever last drop of gas because ya got a budget I’m super impressed, and I’m resto-Modding my car ( I did mtr. ,tranny, rearend, brakes fenders doors . But I’m 4 bolts off frame off . Front end already rebuilt, disc brake conversion done drivers rocker in ( son of a machinist he didn’t weld bolt on new lol so ive taught my old but to weld . So drivers rocker in passenger side cut out and self tapped to hold ready for weld, whole front Floor pan cut out from toe boards to cargo floor . That’s where I am now have 350 bored 30 over ready to assemble as well as trans column rear breaks ( have acs-10 10 bolt but that’s later) so that’s where yer biggest fans at. Make it suck the just did neck surgery from front and back 2 days apart 2 weeks ago. If I’m lucky I can restart in late February . I’ll keep sending ya pics to face book. ( forgot to add the reason Jr. mentioned us building a car , ive had a stroke, left.&Rt.rotator cuffs fused lower l3-4-5 lower back disc , and now my neck . Neurologists had already told my wife no more cars . I was showing 4 cars when I had the stroke . Wife sold it all down to the last washer and tools figure I’ll be pushing 20k when I’m done lol even though originally I and Jr. paid 1,100.00 traded for a 5,000.00k car lol just wanted to share

      That's a great story Willie! The addiction we have to cars is as strong as any addiction to drugs or booze.It may break us financially but it's not as bad to our health.Keep wrenching my friend,it keeps you young (I'll be 61 this year)!

    You could cut down the price by just getting iron on transfer logos made and they could be sent in envelopes and the people could put them on their own shirts, hoodies etc. just a thought. You would have to include instructions

    T- shirts are 50 minimum at any concert, and low quality at that. My daughter took me to see the Gorillaz and bought each of us a shirt for 50 bucks each. Very thin material. It used to be, a concert was about 5 bucks and the tour was promoted to make us buy the latest record. Now the only money that they make is the price of the concert and the merchandise 😂

    • @EllisKarKustoms-v9j
      @EllisKarKustoms-v9j  23 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      It ain't like the good old days Peary.That's why I set the price as low as I could.50 bucks is way too much for a t shirt of any quality.I thought 35 was way too much.Hopefully they will be good quality...

    • @longjohn77
      @longjohn77 23 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      100%. Maybe I'm old but I used to buy nice soft cotton concert t shirts, now they seem to be the roughest, cheapest quality they can find and charge you double or triple what they should be.

    I'm rewatching cause I can't pay attention while typing on this fake typewriter that Evil big brother made into a permanent part of my hand . Our beloved cat Pluti passed away yesterday he showed up at our neighbors door as a kitten and moved to our house when our neighbors retired to Vancouver Island 2 or 3 years ago and my wife and daughter are devastated. Looks like a kitten could be a future possibility, but not right away. Everytime I trip over one of my wife's slippers, I still think it might be the cat. Take care
