There was a great deal of positive response to my last Day in the Shop video, here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vZf7qx_Q_k
So I decided to make a second installment. Of course things didn’t work out as planned and it ended up being a ‘day and a half’ at the shop instead. It also made it so that it’s turned into a 2 part episode. Don’t worry, both parts will stand on their own if you end up watching them separately.
Also, there’s a Fixing it Forward episode rolled in for good measure. That will be in Part 2.
Here’s a link to (Part 2):

I found a little trick working in a machine shop to convert metric to inches and vice versa and you pull out a calculator and multiply the metric # by .03937 and hit the equal button and there’s your inches and if your converting inches it’s backwards you’d divide instead of multiply.
Eric should be sponsored, maybe Napa could be it?😎

Hey bud. When you prep aluminum you can't cross contaminate with steel. Your wire wheel may have been the source of your trouble. You. Need and aluminum only wheel that you store in a clean bag or something.
Eric, you have a lot of lights. You could dedicate a video just to you switching all of them on.
Rule of thumb about metallurgy is to only cut .003 at a time so the metal surface isn’t fractured. Is that
your mode with machinist know how?
That was a thermister on the evaporator right? If so what was the third wire for?
Love your videos. But why are you always working on old ass cars man!
hi eric … what about buyng new cars? r u like scotty or have your own opinnion?
rellay weld … hey weld machines providers … get him a machine for welding. ambarressing weld
You make an excellent point of the car being built for the street as a cruiser. I built a car that I initially built to do the same but I went further than initially planned, 12.5 to 1 pistons, heads shaved so my 428cj had about 13.2 to one and the cam I was running really didn't make it a good "street" car, although it was alot of fun, 8mpg, excessive heat, etc. That said my full bodied 67 Fairlane GTA turned 10.34 at 138mph.
Gotta love Eric the Car Guy.
eric, don't use gloves when using a lathe or mill. look it up.
Grinders and paint make me the welder I ain't!
Good to hear fixing it forward will be running in 2020.
Word of advice to anyone when you make a video repair always show a video that you are correctly diagnosing otherwise you're not going to show the video obviously if you are wrong
This Guy Is Not A Mechanic… All This Guy Does Is Install Parts, And All The Cars He Works On Are His Friends And Family, Witch He Does For Free To Make These Videos. Do Not Listen Or Try To Apply Anything He Says On Your Own Car
pushing brake fluid back up into the master cylinder was the begining of all my problems with bad spongy brakes on my 96 chevy pickup!!!!!!
Good bye Eric
That whole cracking the bleeder deal seems like you just begging for issues
That aluminium welding looks sh*t. Are you using the right gas?
