How I picked up a car shell with no front suspension, without causing any damage and no fancy tools.

- I found some parts for the Mustang build but there is a catch. I have to pick them up from a house using only my trailer and whatever I bring with me. I have an idea, more of an excuse to fabricate stuff. Let's see how my idea works out. If we don't destroy the parts we need in the recovery process, we can get them pulled off and ready for our build. If you need any parts from this Mustang you can send me an email. vehcor1@gmail.com or through my website link below.

I am in awe of your skill. If I ever manage to be half as talented at trolling people who take themselves too seriously as you are I will be in the ppth percentile. Much respect sir, much respect. (I've already given up on having my body work look like anything better than screws and duct tape.)
I don’t see the point in trolling random people on the internet but I gotta say, trolling the trolls is sooo much fun! 😂
@@vehcor the pile?!!!!!!!!!
📜People thoughout the land let it be known from dirty snowbank to deep dish pizza rim that on this day he used something from.....THE PILE!!!!📜
let there be goblets of haters tears and and reverse trailer yells ring across the kingdom!!!!
I love your sense of humor taking shots at the "keybord experts" telling you how you've done everything wrong. Just remember, they are all watching your videos so obviously you must be doing something right. Always enjoy your content brother!
The scary part of people who worry they will burn their retinas watching you weld online…..those people can vote too.
It happened to me. The only thing that saved me is I usually close one eye. And that's the only eye I can still see out of.
Common sense should be a requirement to vote!
@@vehcor if common sense is the requirement to cast a vote, election night will be over fast counting votes.
@@ShainAndrews do you require people to say, close your eye or close your eyes, when you get a surprise. Why should you be required to close the eye that can’t see….we need to teach that in school, be aware of people’s disabilities….it’s like asking a guy in a wheelchair to stand up and take a bow.
@@ShainAndrewsYou lost your vision from watching a video? I can certainly believe it could happen in real life but not from a video.
I have to say you are the one person I look foward to watching everyday. You are skilled and funny. I was actually anticipating the scream when you pulled the car off the trailer. You didnt let me down, lol. And ill say that the one thing ive learned from 20+ years of structural welding, it dont have to be perfect to be solid and hold. You keep up the awesome work you do. And thank you
Today it was "from the pile" not "into the pile"😅. Awesome idea though
It’s the circle of life! 😂
@@vehcor🤭
Interesting concept. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention.
Also laziness! 😂
Love that you included the scream taking it off the trailer. LOL
Always!
A Vehcor program isn't complete without the scream.
As per usual you have perfectly framed the problem and the solution. Have a great weekend!
I’ve learned so much by watching your channel, can’t stress it enough. I know it’s just words on a screen but thank you for taking the time to do the videos. Love your snark.
As a USDA certified FIG welder with over 86 years experience since 2008, I can say that your weld look great to me. But then again, after watching your video on my Ultra HD/UV monitor, I couldn't really see anything after the first 5 seconds. So whet do I know?
Now I will have to make brail video subtitles! 😂
I hope you realize how happy you have made Nosy Neighbors, and Mommies in that Neighborhood.
Don’t forget the city code enforcement officer. 😂 They we’re actually selling it because they were going to start getting tickets.
Was anyone else waiting for the scream as he unloaded the shell from the trailer? LOL
Shell was in very decent shape. Good to see all the original buck tags were still on the doors decklid etc
I was afraid you'd skip the scream, I should have known I could count on you! If you make a more permanent version of the dolly wheels, you might consider making the width of the dolly adjustable for different sized vehicles.
That was once a very much loved Mustang, there's practically no rust in it...May it give a lot of life left to others.
Best part of the video is the sound effects of the car coming off the trailer! Also glad to see Smiley in a Cameo every now and then. Keep up the Great work Scott!
Thanks for the support!
Hope the afternoon crew are well and causing chaos wherever she is
Do you know that there is some so called mechanics doing TH-cam videos that you never see them doing even the most simple thing.
I try not to be that guy! 😂
the you tube experts also watch eclipse of the sun so now they totally blind and their brains are fried so that explains it all.
Take your dolly concept one step further. Make a second set (and even a third set) and add in a connector to link them together. You could put one in the front, one in the back, or with shorter connectors one in the front, one in the middle, and one in the back, You could pretty easily load whatever you want. Keeping them linked together will help to keep them from rolling over.
Overall, 9/10 to start, and 10/10 looks like it just needs some wash ,rinse, repeat. Oh wait, you might not know that one ;)
Looks like you got a lot of good parts from this car. Nice building and equipment inside.
On to the next video.
2.3L Rustangs would still go all cars and coffee on wet turns... I've heard😂.
Good parts vehicle, great field expedient dolly. Use what ya got!
You've got a legit "seagull manager" there in the shop huh?😂
I can’t get anything done without her sticking her nose in my work! 😂
@@vehcorcheers buddy, really enjoy watching, thanks for sharing your work, hope it'll buy you and yours some ramen from time to time😂
I don't know if I already commented to you about that last video you did it was absolutely right on the money I don't know how you hacked it out with that whole scenario that was over-the-top good for you glad you're still sane. All the best from Canada
It was a bit rough but telling her to take her car and go was the best feeling ever!
I was almost blinded with your welding and almost missed you wearing “bitch mittens”
Hey Scott…You should’ve screamed in reverse when the car came off the trailer cuz it came off in the opposite direction.
Geez….I thought everyone knew you just use a welding lens filter on the camera so you don’t burn peoples eyes watching. 🤓
You should always wear a welding helmet when watching automotive channels! 😂 For safety!
A good source for bolt on axle stubs / hubs / wheels is from the rear of most any domestic front drive Chrysler product from the Omni to minivans to the PT .( I don't recall if the LH cars had bolt on stubs or not ) There are variations with bearing size / type / bolt pattern but all are of the same concept.
Two wrongs don't make a right,but three rights do make a left.
Great video !
Loyal viewer from Canada 🇨🇦
One here from Queensland Australia.
Thanks for the worldwide support!
Your welding is better than mine.
Thanks, it made it through one recovery mission!
I didn’t like that you did not put any tow in on the the new wheels it’s going to be hard to steer 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I’ll fix that when my welds inevitably fail according to the experts. 😂
The rust hole was from the meth that was hidden in there, from a previous owner.
I had a similar thought on how to move wheel-less shells. my thought was to take a trailer axle, weld on some kind of channel I can slide pinch weld clamps in to grab said pinch welds.
Lmao the screaming when unloading. I was wondering if you were going to do it dude to the fact that you were not inside the car 🤣🤣🤣 didn't disappoint 👌🏼💯
He should do a Wilhelm scream sometime 😂
Always, I know the proper procedure for trailer unloading! 😂
Great idea! V2 you could weld some Jack stands to your square tubing so it can grab the fram rails and eliminate the 2x4 Jenga 😅
Great Scott it's that time again !
Time for another Mustang to die on this channel! Will he ever finish one… the world may never know! 😂
Hope you remembered to pick up your jack from the grass.
I did!
Yes, Yes , i thought , will he ? , wont he , he did !! 20:25 😂😂
Of course! 😂
9:40, what? no zip ties? what kind of a mechanic are you? no project like this is complete with out at least 50 zip ties! that's it, I'm UNSUBBING!!!
Ok, I spoke too soon....10:14, pulled out the ratchet straps....(still zip ties buddy ZIP ties, no dodgey jenga is complete w/o zip ties!!)
Awesome back to the Fox Body!!! As soon as I saw this video pop up, I grabbed my 80s greatest hits tape and my parachute pants and sat back and watched the video!! You should have the pizza girl dress up in full 80s attire for you end video!!! Looking forward to this build!!! LOL!!!
I like your vids but the pacman/person/it/them joke was rly cringe, get with the times brother
I appreciate seeing projects done they way most of us do things. Yes there might be text book method, but I grew up in a time when we didn’t spend money on everything, every project and job didn’t cost a week’s salary.
Some great success,and many fails,,but always got where we wanted to be. The best stories, are tales are about getting home with baling wire and scrape metal from the ditch. Think Apollo 13, or Shackletons survival… That’s using your brains, and working with what you got…inspiring. And NO, I’m not comparing dolly wheels to Apollo 13, but you get the idea.
If it works, then its not a dumb solution.
Fun fact about internet experts - they don't really exist. Case in point, I built a FJ40 that was universally panned on the internet. Funny thing, though, I've never (7 years and counting) found anyone say anything but how awesome it is. Weird, you'd think the basement dwellers would at least come out and make a mob... but, alas, probably can't fit up the stairs from mom's basement.....
Nice work Scott! Thank you for great no bull content. Have a good weekend.
The dolly worked great. Did you make it to match the track width of the rear of the Mustang so that you didn’t need to move the ramps for the front, or was that luck? Might be good if you could move a dolly wheel in/out a bit to suit different cars.
Neighbors have all sorts of thing you can borrow like those wheels. One time I had to strap 2x4's under the front of my tractor to drag it back to my garage. Worked great but left a drag mark all thru the lot.
The jack sounded like the witch who was melting on the Wizard of Oz. Good work on the dolly wheels! There are some very decent fox body parts left.
Safety expert here. I didn’t see you grease your dolly wheel zerks. That’s going to introduce premature wear to this dolly, eventually causing the axle to wear through and break, killing everyone around it. Unacceptable.
Hmmm. Let's see. Molten weld beads flying right next to my new looking plastic air hoses. Yeah, that's the ticket! 🙃😁
Brother ain’t that the truth I have welded stuff on this for him. They got nothing but thumbs down but I’m sure at least 2/3 of those guys. Haven’t even touched the welder their entire life. Keep doing what you do bro I’ll keep watching lol.
You'll have that til the day you die. It's only temporary unless it works. Well, maybe a little larger diameter wheel. Other than that? Perfect!👍
@vehcor. I hope you have a great weekend. What is the one woodworking project you want to tackle?
Have a great weekend. I want to take over a cabinet shop! 😂
@vehcor you needs new cabinets for your house?
A mate here in Australia was in the same sort of pickle. He had found a complete body shell for a mercedes W111 Coupe (1962) but was a shell only.He had to get it from Sydney to Brisbane (565 miles) and because he was away working in the bush he had to get a shipper involved. He made a set of small dollies to roll the car on with a ride height of 5 inches. ,and while the shell was still in Sydney he got it painted!. All went well and the car survived the long trip on the back of a semi ,with no damage.
I can't believe scott's auto parts emporium didn't have a front or rear axle laying around.....the rear axle out of an 80's cavalier would be perfect...all it is is a piece of pipe with hubs welded on to each end.
Should have gotten Pizza Girl to make a special appearance for the trailer unloading! LOL 😂 Aaaaahhhhh!
I’m a regular visitor on this channel. Whoever is watching this video, I hope this day will be a great day.
To prevent eye damage from TH-cam welding videos I always wear my Apple Vision Pro glasses. Best $3000 I ever spent 👍
20:25 That's a proper Vehcor "lose control of the car while taking it down the ramp" scream. Fits perfectly. :)
FYI I watched the welding scenes yesterday and now my eyes feel like sandpaper. Thanks for nothing. Not a joke.
Should have just had the Pizza girl pick the front end up and walk with it up the trailer. She looks like she pays to do that stuff in a gym. Would probably be a fun date night for her!
I thought for sure there would be no scream unloading the Mustang but you did and I chuckled out loud...Thanks for the humor and the dish on the trolls buddy...
Ive seen professional tow companies use sketchier methods. quick and dirty tow dolly did what you needed it to do. find a spot in the corner for it, stash it for now. never know when you might need it again (most likely sooner than later). whats left of that Mustang oughta cover fuel expense so win there
I was actually looking for something like the dolly you made for a donor car I picked up at action! I left it blocked up on my trailer as I needed the front suspension and subframe. I made one from a 4x4 with cheep dolly wheels that broke apart half way off the trailer. id defiantly buy one if you were too make it or id have to make one of them for myself. its a bit heavier though with its engine and transmission still in it.
youtube wielding xpurts do have wielding machiens they stole them from there brothers.
Love the dolly. It if works, why fix it? :P When will you start selling barrels of the hater's tears? :P
The difference between you and other people who do jenky things is that yours work. You probably delete the other footage though.
I only saw the thumbnail, what did you do, just have your Wheaties for breakfast first?
I love the scream when rolling off the trailer. You may have to pay royalties to the pizza girl. LoL
Great job as always Scott! What kills me the most is when someone makes a comment on a comment you made on a TH-cam video . By all means leave a comment on a video , but why go out of your way to belittle someone else ? Trolls are super tough behind their keyboards
I have some advice to make your dolly prettier.
Brush its hair and put on a nice dress. Matching shoes are important.
WAY TO GO THAT RUBE GOILDBERG ROLLER SETUP IS AWESUM....NEXT ONE USE MORE INDUSTRIAL ZIP TIES TO SECURE THE RIG TO CAR LIKE PHONE COMPANY USES. AND SEE I YO CAN GET SPINDLES AND TEMP SPARES TIRES SO CAR WILL SIT HIGHER MAKE A FEW OF THESE FOR. DIFF CARS
30:50 holy crap that door is in good shape! don't see those up here in canuckistan.....same as the frame rails, that almost looks like a florida car
6:17 and put in proper thrust bearings (instead of washers) and put the axle inside the tube spaced out and aligned and all painted and pretty. Been there done that, "might as well do it right, I'm going to use this all the time" and it ends up in the corner never to be touched again hahahah
isnt it great to see that you knew to put washers on your made up axle,how many people in my life ive met that could have the wisdom to build the axle but then it chewed the split pin off
Kind of makes me wonder what happened to that donor mustang to wind up half stripped. From the outward body appearance it seems like it was a solid well-cared for car throughout most of its life. We had a 92 mustang LX coupe with the 4 banger and an automatic trans. Was by no means a quick car but was a good bit of fun out on the highway. I do miss it a bit. Anyways, good to see some parts will live on with your GT build. Stay sarcastic!😉😁👍
Convertible 4 cylinder foxbodys are usually use as parts cars. Could be a failed restoration but more that likely it was used to rebuild a coupe or fastback
If I had to guess, bad trans. It was a pretty common failure. It sat next to that house for years and they slowly parted it out.
I wondered the same thing.
Now that we're all blind I can say you make the best welds that I have never seen. 🤦♂
I sent this video to OSHA. The inspectors should contact you shortly.
Nice gloves, [ bit*h mittens] LOL, great video, great idea!!
That Mustang came from Halfway, MO? That’s in my neck of the woods…
Has a scrap yard refuse to take a car from a friends house I just dragged it up her yard and they took it at a later date it moved easily it was a old car her x had left not mine
I think so alot of people had these things.. Fox body convertibles at the dealer shop and yea. All had Rusty qrs. Think they used Coupe lowers and patched them
Im guessing you were about 5 years old the first time you saw this. The rest of us are 50 and had no idea
The jack was whining almost as badly as some of your viewers.
Good one!
😂
nice luggage rack
They were standard on 86 and up convertibles.
Get a patent Scott. Money maker right there. Awesome job!
How do you know there is nothing worse then getting to the top of the ramp and having it fall off?
What's with the new, clean Handyman Magazine bench? 😊
…but I do my best welding upside down and backwards!
Where is Mr. Spotty? Stike? Vacation? Fired?
WTFrigg ........ snowblower tires that hold air!
Where in Missouri? I live in St. Louis 63012
Wait for it, wait for it……Ahhhhhhhh. Makes my day every time.
One leggers spin the right wheel?But then this is a Ford so who knows.Might have been a scratch that turned rotten?But anway making progress!
Could have been, who knows but I have seen quite a few with a worse driver side.
LOL...that went way to smoothly! But a good video anyway.
Fun to watch you think and come up with doable solutions.
I did the same thing many times but just used a standard light duty trailer axle.
"Botta - Boom" Botta - Bing" just like that, well done.
i liked your comment now that we are all blind the welding must be done lol
I was waiting for that famous yell!!😂
This car is a definite case of “somebody’s been here before”
