Is there an email address where I can get in touch with you guys looking to have someone to build me a car.
Ya'll should do a ford maverick
Bummed that they didn’t show the quarter panel replacement.
How can i work for you guys?
If you move one side of the hood forward it screws up the whole ft end alignment. Teach it right or not at all.
Grind the backside of any stuck thru bolts that you can get to; the rust will seize things harder if you do break it loose
You guys have gotten a way better fender than I did. Or got to pick through them. I've done a bunch, and never seen one fit that easily. Love the show regardless. Lol
Putting the sheet metal back on my
Grandmother's 66 chevy two Nova, it take a lot of patience, & help that has
Your goals into mind, hell working by
Your self, four eyes better than two
This is OK wish there was more detail on how many screws/ bolts etc to remove & install Q panel location of all. Be nice if there was some detail on this sort of stuff for us non auto geeks/ first timers.
Oil your tap.
That's funny, my pawpaw gave me a a whole set of vices and clamps.
How about the music when they were putting on the front fender lol
I've was in the auto salvage business for 50 years and removed countless broken exhaust manifold bolts. You did that all wrong. I always heat the manifold cherry red keeping the heat off the stud. Any heat on the stud softens the metal and it will twist the broken stud just as you did. After I heat the manifold I then put the vice grips on the stud. I've never had to drill one out if there was enough to get ahold with the vice grips.
Love Detroit muscle 😍
We replaced all the body panels….lol
That is a Heavy Chevy hood at 6:49 , not a Cowl Induction hood. The hole for the Cowl Induction flapper is missing.
I'm a Ford guy from birth found on road dead .last but not least first on race day
I received my 71 Cheville r. fender last week from = Jeggs = AMD. bottom of front of fender was rolled under 4 inches, right in the middle of the bodyline was a dent about 1/4 inch deep about the size of 1 1/2 of my hand… then 5 inches down , from the top of the sharp top edge there was a dent right on the edge next to the door , about 1/2 inch in and anout the size of my hand. I have been an auto body man since 73 full time … this is the worst part , out of hundreds I have received new in a box. Still waiting on the L fender some time in June !!!!!!!! I start from the front because I 'm also welding in rear quarters last lining the deck last..
Why didn't you trim out the metal before mounting ?
Why cowl induction emblems on a non cowl induction hood? It looks a bit stupid!
Looked like it would have cleaned up nice before it was blasted
Not a cowl induction hood, why put the call outs on? Passed on the fake SS badges, which is good
lesson learned… use actual steel when rebuilding classic muscle, not fiberglass crap panels
السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته. ويلكم. أهلا".
Ohh very mor speang
Might have had a better chance to remove the stud if you heat it, and quench it with water rapidly 2 or 3 times, then move onto your Visegrips.
👎
when removing that rusty old broken exhaust stud ,,, try putting a second pair of vice grips on forming a T handle ,,, if there 's enough stud sticking out this will make the job almost twice as easy and keep you from twisting it off like Tommy mentioned
By far this is my favorite car show!
Price
That's not a cowl induction hood. It's an SS sport domed hood.
Buy some Kroil penetrating oil comes from keno in laboratory’s in Tennessee
Is shimming that fender a standard practice? Or would that be considered a jury-rigging?
why not use left handed drill bits all the way
to much talking fffffffff
Just stick half a dozen spacers under the guard👨🏭
Big lol when he made poor factory panel gap sound like a feature to reduce wind noise and provide door clearance – which meant he didn't have to fix it either…
next time try poring water on the hot nut rapid cooling makes the stud shrink before the other metal
helps some times
