Hey Bud I just got the carburetor in from Amazon and I put on my 78 350 pickup and fuel just poured out of the top of the carburetor. Can you please tell which seller did you get from on Amazon. Thanks
I really need to pull my transmission, can I come over and see what it's like to do it on a concrete floor with a roof, last time I did it, it was in my dirt and gravel driveway 😂, my only envy in life, people with garages, work shops, I didn't mind it when I was young, they say hard work and suffering builds character, I guess I'm dripping with it 😎
I watched this video last night and ordered the Avapow jumpstarter since I needed a second one. There was a 50 dollar coupon on Amazon so it was right at 100. It was on my porch when I woke up! It comes in a nice case and was fully charged.
You have much better results with your flux core welder than I ever have had. I hope you will do a stand-alone video on your welder setup and your welding technique.
Thanks for these videos. We learn so much. The biggest thing I take from your videos is how you break it down into small easy steps. Restoring a car is overwhelming but you’ve got it down to a science. Completing small tasks adds up to a lot over time. I think this is why people have projects sitting in their garage for years. It’s just too overwhelming. But if they did an hour here and a task there it’ll add up and get done!
The grill would look good painted silver, great job on that front, wish I had one of those spot wielder dent pullers years ago never did like to dill holes to pull dents.
I was curious about the availability of some of the van parts you mentioned that you needed. Lucky you! Looks like the side markers and tail light lenses are out there. So is the windshield, which I figured it would be. The Vevor puller came to the rescue and pulled that front end out real nice. You got that tool mastered I think. The rust repair on the pillar should work just fine. I fixed the pillar on both sides of my 73 Dodge too. It was rotted through in a small spot up high on both pillars. The front end looks nice now!
Hey Lee, I know we are a ways apart from being ready to painting, but when the time comes i think a 2 tone white on the top and a lime green on the bottom would look great on this van.
Carter’s Auto Restyling would have cut the entire front end off and banged on it for hours. I like the way you do it. Get it close and getter done and move on to something else. Front end looks a thousand times better. Great job!
Stop dikin around and flip that body on to an S-10 4 wheel drive chassis, with an LS 7, 6" lift . Pad and carpet the whole interior, full canvass retractable roof. You know, have some fun with it.
You have one of those hydraulic spreaders you hand pump don’t ya. That would push that front end out before you go pulling it w/ a slide don’t ya. Thought I remember you using it once.
There are videos of Pakistani people on RU-vid refurbing those old copper radiators and w/ your skills I know you could do it after watching the process ..
That dent puller sure is pretty damn useful. It would have been a lot tougher without that. The last video i belive i did see a little rust through in front of the passenger wheel house but, that's a whole other can of worms. That rust in the pillar looks way gooder now.
I think that van would look cool in a big flake yellow and creagers. Love seeing you work on her. She would be good for power tour. Plenty of room for Nikki.
Hey Lee. Just wanted to let you know that the van is becoming a boogie van. Awesome work. Just wondering how much for the black Aspen. Give belly rubs to Nikki for me.
