Just a bunch of guys that have been hanging out together since before we were driving. Now....We are still doing the same thing just with some of the toys we dreamed about when growing up. Just recently we decided to document some of the stuff we do. The name? Well that came about while sitting around a campfire drinking a few adult beverages reflecting on some of the things we should have done on previous projects. That was around 15 years ago. We would have started this RU-vid channel then .... but RU-vid was not a thing.
@brandonhorstman1774 That's awesome! For up there you can keep it simple. Just make sure it's mechanically solid and has a good diesel heater, and they'll have a blast!
Good stuff. I have a 1970 Dodge D200 I pulled out of a barn, had not run since 1989. Everything is toast and crusty on it and cobbled together junk for trailer lights. I have it running and driving now and started going through the bulk head and it is flat out scary. Stuff cut, scotch locked, twisted, bug nuts,. So just installing a entirely new Painless harness. Thanks for the tips.
Just gave you a subscribe. Like minded guy here. Love old cars and hanging out with my buddies turning wrenches. Recently started a youtube channel myself.
I just did a 1969 W200..wish I had found you vid before I finished..I found out all the hard way. you have to push the steering column in towards the driver as the new box is 1.5" longer. No instructions and no help from manufacturer/suppler. Same for pulleys no help and none lined up. I found steel OE pulley's but still have to space out the WP pulley 1/2". Make sure you get all the air out first, disconect the drag link to do this so the box will go full lock..
What wheels do you have ? I have a 71 D200 and it has the 16 inch split ring wheels. I'd like to get rid of the split rig but want to have a factory looking wheel that I can use my hub caps on. thanks for sharing, love the truck!!!
Every time you hit the road it can be an adventure but things are never as bad as they can be when you have good friends along with you for the ride. I got into streetrods in 1981 and shortly after formed a club and the runs we went on together I will never forget. Thank you for sharing this. FWIW I had registered to go the NSRA Quad cities event but had to cancel out.
@mikepirkl9653 that's really what this channel is about for us! We're preserving the memories! We're several years in now and I enjoy going back and watching the times the guys and I spent together! It's just a drop in the bucket of the time we've all spent together over the years tho! Thanks for your comment and thanks for watchin!
I did this to my engine block as well, hung the block in a plastic 200ltr drum, a sacrificial anoide from rio bar, and washing powder, cleaned it perfect, machine shop was impressed 👌
I highly recommend this kit if you want to put a quick drop on the rear of your D-100. Pretty smooth installation and you still have some suspension travel when you're done! It drove great on the way back to Cam's. I love this truck more and more every day!
The lack of videos on the F-100 is definitely my fault. The trip to Davenport IA for the 1st annual Quad City Street Rod Nationals should include some videos of the F-100 and all the Hyndzyte rides!! Stay tuned!!!
I took the cluster loose in my 65 Dart GT 273 and grounded it,Still had the fusible link thankfully,it did its job and burned the wire in 2.Yes,I put the fusible link back in.Still not ideal but works.
Great job explaining all this. Thank you for doing the dial indicating procedure and showing this perfectly. For those watching, this is THE one step that must be done correctly. These Tremec's feature tighter tolerance machining than our older 833's, which can take .015 run out with ease.
I have a 70 d200 and it has power steering that was installed by the previous owner, it’s a power assist ram type. The ram was leaking so I had it rebuilt. I bled the system no bubbles no noice but steering is a little easier left but right is very hard. I have no idea what’s wrong. Do you have a link to the parts you bought?
Damn!! That thing looks amazing! Love the stance! Gonna be a great street car. Can't wait to catch a ride in it! The coolest thing, in my opinion, is that you will probably NEVER pull up next to another one at a show or cruise night!
I screwed two wood blocks to the MDF that were the inside diameter of the hubcap. At times the polisher would get the cap to spin a bit, but worked really well.
Thanks for the informative video, I own a 1968 Charger that we use in film to do stunts with. We keep blowing off belts either with the clutch fan or straight engine driven fan. This happens frequently when the director asks for the desired high RPM shifts! This is probably the best fix we could do. Definitely will keep a few spares too.
I'm currently building a 69 D100. Planning on using your front suspension and a Gen 3 hemi with an 8 speed. I would love to talk to you about this build. It would answer some questions I have about mine.
Good Morning, Guys! Why limit yourself to only 2 Tour vehicles? We have 3 that continuously fuss about going until we are back, THEN, they want to Cooperate!
I am probably the only one in the group that has this opinion… and I struggle with it- so many good cars to choose from… hard to limit it. I’m over my limit now and struggling with it -my Roadrunner and the D100 are probably lifers and my Wagoneer is really cool… it would be even better with a late model hemi…. Sooooo many choices and so little time/money! Thanks for watching!
I think the theory behind the 2 car rule is you drive one and work on the other. If you have more than 2 you are possibly working on more than one "upgrade" at a time, splitting time and money.
