My husband is a retired automotive engineer and he said he would move the lights from center another 2 or 3 inches. He stated you’re doing a great job and we’re so happy to see a young man working with his hands and doing quality work. Wanting to see the AAR Cuda as he builds old MOPARS!!
@jenningsmotorsports7554 fantastic bud from one wrencher to another keep it up. I recently saw there was a article written up about your channel so you're on the right track.
The massive size of those fenders and running boards and front bumper needs massive headlights to go with them. Great choice! Loving how it's coming along. That yeller bar is the most useful tool with no moving parts I have ever seen!
Diamond T with a Cummins is a perfect match. That sound of the Cummins and the great look of this truck will be wicked in a great way . I have nothing but great respect for you .
Do you ever run at the Mid-South Live Steam track? I was down there about 2004 with a few friends. It's a nice track. They used to pressure test boilers and certify them, but I don't know if they still do.
I have followed the Diamond T and waited patiently for part 2. Move the headlights around until YOU are satisfied. I really like your will it run videos because you do not follow the square body crowd and bring back what some would say are lost causes. I am 80 and working on a 1953 Dodge 2 ton partly due to you. Live in Arkansas and got it in Arkansas. Keep up the good work.
This truck just embodies the feeling of get out of my way I got work to do vibe. The massive headlights fit great where they are at and that bumper looks like you could hit a cow and not dent it. Really love how this build is coming along and can't wait till we can all see it going down the road.
Man, I've been looking forward to this video for a little while now and have to say it was worth the wait! The headlights look great where they are, they look like they should have always been there.
Wow, that grill, the split windscreen, those fenders.. ..incredibly nostalgic for me; in the late 70's my small-dairy uncle was actively using a old Diamond T on his farm. A decade later it was one of the most interesting old heaps around the place, well-loved but totally run into the ground. I also recall riding in what I think was an early Diamond-Rio, asking about the swinging warning alert arm at the top of the windshield that had something about "air brakes" written on it.. ..and being told not to worry about it! We were moving slowly on fairly level terrain iirc, so hopefully there really wasn't anything wrong with relying on the standard brakes.
After a hard day, it fun to see you putting these old trucks back together. I think I can hear the crickets in the background imagining you’re working on this in the evening. Great work! Greetings from Marietta Ga!
The truck looks incredible!! The Cadillac lights are so AWESOME!!! I’m totally fired up for the Diamond truck build!! It’s also really good to see more videos, thank you!!!
I think the big lights look good I do think they need to move a inch or so maybe to center of the fenders outside that stay on the path your on looking great can’t wait to see the ol girl rolling down the road
Am I ever glad I found your channel. I like the size of the headlights and where they're mounted, this is going to be one tough looking truck like no other. It's great seeing a young guy so creative and mechanically talented doing successful hands on projects most wouldn't know where to begin. I'll be watching for update videos on this truck.
Really enjoy watching your videos! Can't wait to see were this series goes - I personally think the lights look great and I'm imagining the whole will be one awesome monster of a truck!
What a cool old truck! It's coming together nicely. I believe the headlight distance looks good, but the passenger side looks lower than the driver side. What an awesome resto-mod!
big headlights are awesome! i'd leave them where they are, seems to work well as is. you could do a walk around video on the Cuda with just where it's at and what you are waiting on.
I agree with the retired auto engineer and think that the headlights need to move 2-3 inches out from center. I owned a metal fab shop back in the day and you would have fit right in and been a cherished lead guy. You git er done and have mad skills fueled by confidence. Rock on.
You should build a heavy duty box for the jack and one for each jack stand that would be a lot safer than the pipe i love that truck it’s going to be so cool can’t wait to see it finished
Don't sweat the small stuff.. I've a few old trucks and engine/trans packages.. I like how tall it is and really dig the bigassheadlights.. keep on truckin!
"Zoosk it"...."Plasma zoosk it".....That's how we do it here in Arkansas. 😁 She looks good, the headlights look great! The whole truck is gonna be awesome!
Really nice project and well done. The '31 Caddy headlights almost look like the P100's found on pimp mobiles that roll through Harlem. If you are driving to Hooters maybe that is the perfect look. '38 Caddy headlights are a little more bulbous and post Flash Gordon so they may be more similar to the originals. Someone claimed the dash gauges were typically leftovers somehow bought directly from the Packard factory. Four wheel drive is a must have. Cruise control and super soundproofing a good idea, along with high back seats.
I watch the channel from the UK and I love the channel. Don't know if this is what you'd call 'Red Neck Truck Building 101' or if that is an insult but I think it is great to watch. More please.
You are brave, my friend. There is no way in hell that I would have the guts to take on a project like this with the tools that you have. I'm impressed. If you can do this with none of the right tools, I look forward to seeing what you are capable of when your channel grows and you have the proper tools.
Love the headlights, love all your videos, you're the only channel i have notifications for cause i watch them as soon as they come out!! Keep up the great work!
Good evening from Cape Cod 🦈 I really like your vision for this truck. The Diamond T is definitely one of my favorite trucks. Keep up the great work and the awesome content 👍✌️🇺🇲
I know it's not finished yet, but this is going to be an awesome-looking truck when it's all finished. Keep the Cadillac headlights too, they look great on those wide fenders.
Love the headlights, truck is awesome. Experimentation with the headlight position is definitely a matter of personal preference. I would try several positions taking photos each time to determine best functional and aesthetic choice. Keep working hard and achieve success.
