Hey guys love your videos, I been going through a lot this past year and haven't worked on any of my projects but your videos last few weeks have been getting motivated to get back out there and get stuff done, your videos are helping me more than you know Big thanks keep up the good work fellas!!
You need to start working on some merch. That's where the money is at on RU-vid. Take some notes from Jacob/Puddin's Fab & keep as much control as possible by keeping everything in house and as local as possible!
For that broken header bolt, try bolting up the header, find a roll pin that fits in the hole in the header flange, tap it in and you have a nice hardened drill guide. Did this with some 5.4 ford heads, worked well
It took you having to LS swap her blazer to finally get her to actually smile and wave at the camera and not flip it off.... LOL I've had quite a few blazers so im a fan... Cant wait to see some more on this one... 🤘
I had the same issue. I bought the GM Hot Rod oil pan (Hummer H3 Alpha) because everyone said it wouldn't require me to cut the crossmember and that it would go right in...and it didn't. Youy can also try welding a washer to the broken bolt and then weld a nut to that. That seems to work some of the time. I also found that using truck accessories, I had to sink the radiator into the core support for enough clearance for electric fans.
@C-Note69 if you can honestly say that this country is in better shape right now than it was in 2018 then be my guest to hit the unfollow button....in less than 4 years I went from having plenty of money in my pocket to spending all we make to get by....bye felicia
On my LS, I had a couple broken exhaust bolts as well. It's what they do. haha. What I did was skipped the washer/nut trick and on each broken bolt I stacked a few quick, but high heat tacks. The heat will help loosen it up and once you get the tacks built up enough, a pair of vice grips on the tacks is all you need. Only had 1 that I had to give a second try.
The next time you have a broken stud Weld a washer to the broken stud first then weld a nut to the stud and the washer it works way better than just a nut
Definitely recommend doing more research next time. You couldve completely avoided hacking that frame by just spending a few bucks. Enjoy your videos regardless though
