Grea stuff! Just binged watched first 11 episodes. Living vicariously through your shop and skills. Love the detail and the fact some of this is first time for you. More tripod work would be great to see the actual work sometimes but I appreciate the extra effort all the filming and editing takes.
Thanks! I need to do some planning on how to break down some of the tasks so they can be filmed a bit easier with the camera, as you suggest, on a tripod.
I have just watched all of the first eleven episodes and frankly.... I cannot wait for the next one to come!!!! This is utterly fascinating! Love it! I have to say, I would not be brave enough to walk around a workshop barefoot though! Wonderful stuff..... Fantastic workmanship too!
Thanks! I have a new computer that should make editing the videos easier so hopefully they will come a bit quicker. Barefoot in the shop is certainly not the norm nor a safe choice but when it gets hot it sure does feel good!
@@therestorationshop to be fair I only noticed by virtue of a reflection in the beautiful paint work on one of the panels! I think its very obvious that you have a considerable skill in this area... something that I, as a m,teal work conservator, throughly admire! I admit to not being an organic conservator but i wonder if you might have been prudent to varnish the wood work prior to wrapping the sheet metal over it? What are your thoughts?
@@williamhawkes7437 all of the wood was shot in an epoxy primer before the sheet metal was replaced. If you saw something different please let me know the time in the video as it is possible I missed something. Thanks for your comments!
Thanks! I didn't mention it in the video but I tried to do the West Systems epoxy and it was a disaster. Massive bubbles that wouldn't go away. Ended up removing it before it set up, waiting 24 hours and then going with SPI Universal clear. I think the problem was all the pores in the veneer.
@@therestorationshop that's good to know. 😎 BTW I'm really looking forward to the wiring loom install. I just got my new loom last week and will greatly appreciate you tackling this first. On that note, a friend who is doing a TD says you need an especially big chassis clip to hold the main loom in the engine compartment. I'll check with him to make sure I'm remembering correctly but I think he said he got it at Tractor Supply...
So here is the info on the larger clips. Apparently you'll need 3. Electrical Wiring to Instrument Panel Brace Clip for 8N Ford Tractors - 8M14197. EBay
@@therestorationshop I think you'll still need the Moss clips for the gas line, brake lines and the wiring loom route from the fire wall back... These clips are just for the fat part of the wiring loom before it branches off.
Umm, you are not a good orator, umm, you might want to script your dialogue and have it printed on video, ummm, it would cut your video time in half. Umm, nice outcome though
@@therestorationshop I have to say I disagree with the poster here.... to do what you are doing, it is important to be able to explain clearly and concisely what you have done, what worked and of course what didn't..... but equally important is that you convey a love for what you are doing, and you do that. Your focus on what you do is driving your conveyance of the skills and requirements it takes to do this work.... and that's a credit to you. Keep at it and in time your narration (not oration) will change and develop in any case... now go and continue being brilliant!
@@therestorationshop I love what you’re doing and how you’re doing it. The variety of skills required and the patience to learn and use these skills is incredible. When you discovered the rusted bolt heads and various other pieces I would have been devastated, but you persevered and did a fantastic job! I can’t wait to see the completed car. It. Is. Beautiful! Thanks so much for bring a classic back to life!
