    Don't ya just love cutting plastic with a cut off wheel? It's messy but it works!
    Super slick stuff as always. Recycling at its best!
    I'm on vacation all this week so I'll be in my shop if ya need me.
    I appreciate ya, Bob!

  • @MrPanzerblitz
    @MrPanzerblitz 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Using the piston ring to hold the lens in the piston is absolute genius Bob! That was the first question that came to mind when you were cutting the plastic. "How is he going to hold it in the piston?" What a perfect solution!

  • @nicholaspatterson9275
    @nicholaspatterson9275 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was thinking that some rods would be cool for tail light hangers. But the piston as the actual tail light is over the top. Man it sure looks good Bob. Keep em comin,watchin and learnin!!!

    @kinotransam 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That's got to be the coolest idea I've seen for tail lights!! You are an absolute artist when it comes to metal working and thinking outside the box. There isnt a single component on that truck that hasn't been hand made or modified, and it looks downright amazing. Keep up the great work, Bob!! #RRBNation

    Love your show Bob. Yeah, the mirrors were cool, but yeah, you right, they did not fit the truck. I am sure someone will want them on ebay. The tail lights are genius. The wristpin hole and keeper with the lens is pure cool, and super functional. Keep up the good work. Tom

    I wish I had turned out more like you and a lot less wild side of me stuff that got me in so many ways and that I was for known to have done. Spilt milk under the bridge. your honest and not a clickbaiter like so many have gone to be. I don't expect the world to take care of me and ask little of those who do help me. We both have stepped in some high cotton once or twice. Great video Bob
