Thanks so much! Trying to make every video I do better than my last.

your idea is good but you need to anchor the other side of the bus to get leverage on the side you are pulling some floor anchors would work with chains on the chassis rails 🙂😉

@besenzon1 3 месяца назад

Exactly what I thought. Need to secure the Bus to the floor somehow. Get some mate over to sit in the Bus 🍻

@centerbayclassics 3 месяца назад

Yes, I agree. I'm trying to avoid drilling into the concrete so I'm going to add weight to the bus first. Plan B will be to anchor to the floor..

Gawd…our neighbors across the street used to have one of these things. We had one of these things. Pretty sure “everyone” used to have one of these. My sisters best friend had a “beetle”. They were all over.

Haha you ain't kidding!

@Mikefngarage Месяц назад

Usually when you make one of these the bottom leg you put a T on it and attach it to the other side of the car frame. SO your chain would attach to the right side of the bus front end and to the top of the left side. Better leverage. But it looks like it is working.

Yeah, it can use some improvement still. I used mostly scrap metal I had in the shop to build this puller, but I think with this puller and a porta power pushing from the inside I should be able to get it straightened out.

VERY ingenious and satisfying! Great work!

I just had to pull my nose structure out of my 68 double cab because of a collision that happened a long time ago (because my new nose wouldn't lay nicely on it). I wish I had a frame like that. Funny enough I have the same clamp.

@centerbayclassics 3 месяца назад

It seems like it's either rust or collision damage. I picked up this clamp on eBay and it works great!

@Mikefngarage Месяц назад

Looks like your making an L style frame machine Body shops used to use them all the time.

I really like that side profile template, thats really handy. How did you make it?

@centerbayclassics 3 месяца назад

Thanks! In episode 9 I show a little bit about it. I used 18 gauge sheet metal, but cardboard would work too.

Nice job? But what happened to the bus? Did you roll it??

@centerbayclassics Месяц назад

Thanks for watching, the bus was in a accident in the 1990s, It rolled over on the driver side. And then got parted out and sat for several years. When I found the bus it was in that unfortunate condition.
