What's the name of that Dulux cleaner
Thanks for the question Shane. I wiped over the bare metal with Dulux GP Thinners to remove any residues left over from the previous step. See you on the next video mate 👌😎
Hey Rob, just found your channel yesterday. I've now watched every episode and am really enjoying them. I must admit that I'm glad you've just about finished the undercarriage, as I'm sure you are. Your meticulous approach is to be admired and will pay huge dividends I'm sure. Where did you get the XT from? It's in incredible condition. The fact that you're only dealing with surface rust is amazing.
Hey Brendan Glad you found me 👌 Appreciate you taking the time to watch all my videos. As you've probably seen, it's been quite the journey! Oh yes, I'm very glad to have the undercarriage now ready for next steps. The weather's too cold for priming now unfortunately, but as soon as we get some warm weather I'll be finishing it off! I picked up the XT about 16 years ago. 2 owner original super low milage. She's mint! I've been overseas and now about to get back into it - very keen to say the least. Stick around for more updates coming soon, see you on the next one mate👌😎
i am doin a xf ute, thinking i might warm the epoxy primmer up by sitting it in hot water, before spraying, and warm metal up with a heat gun, not sure what the paint company thinks of that though.
Thanks for the comment Jack. Your thoughts on heating the panel up, and also the epoxy aligns to the thoughts I got back from the manufacturer of the epoxy I use (RestoFinish). So I think you'll be fine! I'll most likely follow the same process if I decide to prime in the winter. Thanks again, and see you on the next one mate 😎🤙
Dedication Rob! Keep hustling bro your doing great
Thanks bro! Appreciate the comment. See you on the next one legend 😎🤙
Having pulled apart a few cars in my time, pay attention to the inside of rails and sills etc as a lot of cars rust from the inside, a great job.
Thanks for the feedback John! Yeah, I plan on spraying the insides of the rails with a rust inhibitor after it's all coated underneath. Thanks again, and see you on the next one 👌😎
Nice trick on those wheel wells; I'll definitely be using that one👍
Thanks for the feedback Stace. See you on the next one 😎🤙
Hi Rob, the time and dedication you are putting into restoring your XT is second to none. I have an XT Fairmont and one day I would like to get it back on the road. Please keep the videos coming as I enjoy watching them and I cannot wait to see the end product.
Thanks for the feedback Watto, appreciate it! I'll definitely keep the videos coming. Sometimes general life gets first priority and I might be a bit delayed like this video, but will keep them coming. Would love to see your XT project if you were local. See you on the next one mate 😎🤙
@@RestoHubAU You certainly will 👍I'm in NSW mate .
I'm in VIC, but I'm sure I'll be up that way at some time or another 😎
Loving the updates, Rob. Fllor mount came up nice . Pleased to have been a part of the trans build :)
Thanks Greg! As you saw, I bolted the brace down exactly how you had it done in your XR! It was a great idea, so I had to follow suit 😀 Thanks again for the help with the trans. Your machine work and knowledge is second to none. See you on the next one legend 😎🤙
I got a xtgt late 70s early 80s and pulled it apart and fixed it up, but to see the work you've done puts me to shame. Gr8 job. BTW I'm still playing with cars. I've taken a 67 Mustang 6 and am putting in a 302w t5 and 9". Thanks for your videos.
Thanks for the feedback Peter! Sounds like you were doing this when I was still a young tacker. XT GT, such an amazing machine. Do you still have it? Mustang project sounds great mate, would love to see it if you're local. Thanks again, and see you on the next one 😎👌
Sadly no, back then I had to sell one car and move to the next, I swapped it for a mint landau and met my future wife, BTW she had a superbird, and life started kids house ect... seeing you with that xt really brings it all back. Thanks again. P.s I'm now going to pull the front end out of my 67 and convert it to disc brakes.
@@petersmith1076 I hear you, life and family come first.before our projects! Good luck with the disc brake conversion, assuming there's a lot of bolt on bits you can use? Sounds like your wife had an awesome taste in cars too 👌😎
Just came across your channel. Now to go back and watch the first seven episodes. Wish I was able to do some work on my old Fords.
Thanks for stopping in and the comment Paul! Hope you enjoy the other episodes. See you on the next one. 😎🤙
Dedication to stripping under the car, especially without a rotisserie. Good work
Thanks for the feedback Barry. Definitely has been a challenge without a rotisserie. See you on the next one mate. 🤙😎
Love the commitment and the attention to detail you showed on the underside. I’ve just been through it with my XE on a rotisserie and it was a bugger of a job. Hats off to you sir.
Thanks for the feedback Stephen! It's definitely been an adventure doing this on jack stands and a creeper. Going to be interesting priming and painting it that's for sure! See you on the next one mate 😎🤙
Great work Rob! Love seeing the paint stripper in action during a time lapse 👍 and love that the psht psht made a comeback 🤣
Thanks Mel ❤️😎🤙 Watching the paint blister up is definitely nice to watch! Cya on the next one, psshtt psshtt!
Great to see more progress on the XT Rob. Are you going with floor shift or column shift? It could make a good episode seeing you cut out the section on the tunnel before you paint the floor interior and epoxy the underside. Looking forward to the Barra turbo build, your XT may be a tyre frying beast as well as a super cool cruiser. I'm looking forward to the next episode of the build.
Thanks Warren! Going floor shift, but not the traditional factory shifter, running a B&M Megashifter. I'll definitely pop a video of me installing that though! Hows the XY? See you on the next one mate 😎🤙
@RestoHubAU Cool, you only need to pre fit shifter and drill holes to mount it and one for the cable. I haven't been able to do anything on the XY for a few months 😕 hopefully I will get back into it again soon.
@@warrenbrown5621 yeah good point. I may temporarily fit the driver seat, and pre fit the shifter before I prime underneath. 🤔 Otherwise if I drill it after priming, I may have to touch up the exposed bare metal from drilling.
Good work
Thanks Frank! Appreciate the support as always legend 🤙😎
I’d love a t-shirt! Keep up the videos HC, things progressing well
Thanks mate, appreciate the comment. Good luck on the tshirt draw. See you on the next one HC 🤙😎
Great work
Thanks for the feedback beanbean! See you on the next one 😎🤙
One word … rotisserie!
Yeah, I wish I had room for one Stephen, but unfortunately don't have the length to fit one in. Thanks for stopping in, see you on the next one 😎👍
You are doing a great job but get rid of that brain dead anoying background noise that you think is music. Do you get paid to put that clicking,banging drum noise in?What is the purpose of it? Your video is interesting .Do you want your viewrs to listen to the background noise or to you?
Thanks for the feedback What sort of music would you like to hear, specifically in the time-lapse segments?
@@RestoHubAUThank you,for replying to my comments.I would prefer to not hear any music or background noise..I enjoy watching the restoration process and listening to your explanation as I do in any other youtuber's similar videos.Any music or sound effects to me are just a distraction.I turn the sound off but it is not the same then.I have made similar comments to other youtubers and to my surprise,some of them actually dropped the music. I suppose your question would be "Will your followers still watch your videos without music/background noise?" No one seems to be mentioning it in the comments." Did you put music in because other people do?. . Re: what to do re: time lapse speeded up etc.Some people just record all the hammering,scrapping,drilling grinding etc and leave it speeded up in the time lapse,That works for me ..Thanks for listening and again, I am impressed by the quality of your work on the Falcon.. Richard.
Thanks Richard. I appreciate your honesty and the time you've taken to put your feedback forward. I can understand that the genre of music may not be appealing to some of my audience, and I've been looking at changing it to a soft rock style. I don't think I will be switching the music off totally, but I've been open to changing it up to appeal more towards my viewers demographics/etc. I hope you continue to watch when I switch up the music to the rock genre. But if you really can't stand any music at all then I understand if you choose not to watch in future. It would be a shame to lose a viewer, but I don't think I can produce anything with no background music at all.
Thanks,for yourr thoughts re:your plans for changes in your car restoration viideos..I will continue to watch your progress with the XT Falcon with or without the sound for now. Regards, I had a 1965 XP 200 Cubic Inch,Ford Fairmont Estate ,Borg Warner automatic,electric tail gate,14 inch wheels, etc which I bought for 750 dollars back in 1977. Regards,Richard.
Chemical dip would be better if that could be done in AU. Acid gets insige the box channels
Thanks for the comment Lesley. Yes, chemical dipping is available here, although not an option as the car is only going to have the engine bay, undercarriage and boot restored/repainted (for now/phase 1). The exterior is pretty good, but will eventually undergo the full bare metal treatment. I'll get it back on the road first and after a year or so will come off the road for the exterior freshen up. Thanks again, and see you on the next one 😎🤙
use etching primer anywhere that has surface rust before the epoxy primer
Thanks for the comment James, appreciate the idea. You got me thinking there, so I just rechecked the TDS of the epoxy I shoot (RestoFinish 2k Epoxy Primer), and they call it an anti-corrosive zinc phosphate coating, which is pretty much what an acid etch also contains from my understanding. Let me know your thoughts? Thanks again for the comment, and see you on the next one 😎🤙
Getting there dude.. sooo close
Sooo close indeed dude, I'm excited for the next stage that's for sure. Thanks for stopping in and see you on the next one bro 😎🤙
Your doing such an awesome job Rob, your XTs is in great condition and your quality work is going to preserve it for many years to come. I'm looking forward to seeing you laying down the epoxy soon. Thanks again Rob for the RestoHub tee-shirt, I'm a happy chappy 🙂
Thanks Warren! You and me both, I'm starting to get sick of looking at this clean metal and keen to see the red epoxy on it 😂 Glad you like the teeshirt mate. See you on the next one legend 🤙😎
Reap the rewards Rob, enjoy the cleaned product what an amazing underbody for such an old car.
Thanks Nick, appreciate the comment Definitely reaping the rewards. It's a fine example for a 56 year old vehicle that's for sure! See you on the next one legend 🤙😎
Nice !!! Bring on the paint :)
Sooo close Greg, I can almost smell the epoxy curing! Thanks for stopping in, see you on the next one legend 🤙😎
Amazing attention to detail. Great job
Thanks for the feedback Albert! See you on the next one mate 😎🤙
Congratulation Warren. looks like a top bloke. Rob hurry up and prime the god damm thing 🤣
Haha, we're close Frank! 😂 You might have to come on down and make an appearance in one of the next episodes doing what you do best 😉 See you on the next one legend. 😎🤙
Great progress Rob!!
Thanks Mel 😎🤙❤️
maaaate, thats the cleanest prep work ive ever seen under a car! you could just clear coat it to show the beauty haha, good stuff mate
Thanks for the feedback legend! Now there's something different, a clear coated undercarriage lol 😂 See you on the next one mate 😎🤙
thats a greet idea
I can’t believe how good a condition the floor is both inside and outside I think I would’ve done some form of media blast on the underside to make it aside and better Looks great 👍
Yes, the condition inside and out is almost perfect David! I'll never find something like this again, that's for sure. I agree, bead blasting would have been so much better, especially blasting it while it's on a rotisserie, but unfortunately I don't have the room to fit one in. Maybe in future on another build I have a bigger space 🤔 Thanks for the feedback and checking in - see you on the next one 😎👌
Looking good! How's the new creeper?
Thanks Mel 😎🤙❤️ New creeper is good, hopefully I don't break this one too 😂 That said - if it does decide to pack up, it's paid itself off a few times over now. "If he dies, he dies" 🥊
@@RestoHubAU 🤣 that quote!! Hahaha
😂 Perfect opportunity for it!
That's a solid effort dude without a rotisserie or sand blasting.. ill never complain again about having to jack the car up to change my oil after watching you on your back. Great stuff Rob 🍻👍
Thanks for the feedback legend 👌 It's definitely been a hard slog doing this on jack stands, but I can see the light now. Next one will have to be on a rotisserie though 😂 Really don't think I'd do another one on my back....but never say never, right? Thanks again, and see you on the next one mate 😎🤙
Good job mate 👍🇦🇺
Thanks Big Al, appreciate the comment! See you on the next one mate 😎🤙
That's so good, great work thanks for showing this
Thanks for stopping in again Nick, appreciate the feedback! See you on the next one mate 🤙😎
Rob, you must be proud of what you have achieved so far without a rotisserie. I found using a finger belt sander in the tight areas between the chassis and boot tank sections great any areas I couldn't get I sand blasted. I found using cheap kitchen scotch pads when metal deox treatment great, they wrapped around a screwdriver and cable tied worked well in tight area. It won't be long before you will be shooting epoxy, all the best on the restoration ☺
Definitely proud of what I've achieved Warren! It's been a mega mission but I look back over this journey and see the amount of work, and how far it's come compared to what I started with - super excited to get it to the next stages. Great tips there, thanks heaps for those! Will give them a try. Btw, your teeshirt arrived the other day...Will do my best to get it in the post this week. Thanks for the feedback and encouragement! See you on the next one mate 😎👌
@@RestoHubAU Cool, I'm looking forward to wearing it with pride. I hope a little bit of recognition of your hard work and some encouragement helps. Your videos will help motivate other enthusiasts to try or continue on with their own projects.
I really do hope my videos motivate others, the feedback I get makes me think it does 😎 Thanks again legend 👌
That floor brace is basically exact to factory. They are not a snug fit to the floor profile. While you're there , cut a couple holes in behind those bolt on inspection covers at the rear of the front chassis rails . That will enable you to get in and rust proof inside the torque boxes
Great idea Greg, will definitely look to doing that idea to rust proof inside the torque boxes! You're a man with lots of knowledge, thanks legend. See you on the next one mate 😎🤙
That background music going to haunt me for a long long time great progress with the XT
Glad you're still able to watch the video, even with the music that you aren't a fan of. I'm on the lookout for some other new music to put in the background, hopefully some day soon it changes and you're happier 🤞 See you on the next one mate 😎🤙
Mate you have done an amazing job

Mint. You make me want to start my own car.❤
Thanks for the compliment Frank! Oh yeah, that would be awesome. You've got the skills to make it happen that's for sure! See you on the next one mate 😎👌
would be a lot easier if you had it on a rotiserie but its coming up great i used 1 of those black fibre wheels to do inside my bonnet it came up like new metal
Thanks for the feedback mate! Agree, would be totally easier with a rotisserie but I don't have enough length in the garage and would have to keep the door open with one. Those black fibre wheels are great. I'll be using one in the wheel tubs, which you'll see on the next episode, see you then mate 😎👌
That undercarriage is crazy for its age any secrets applying the seam sealer maybe a paint brush dipped in turps for the final wipe
Yeah it is very good for its age Russel! I don't think there are many around that are this good, I'm very lucky that's for sure. Yeah, I might use masking tape to create a barrier, apply seam sealer, wipe with a brush dipped in Prepsol to neaten it up. See you on the next one mate 😎👌
@@RestoHubAU Usually finger dipped in prepsol lightly over the seam sealer smooths it up. Can be fairly wet to smooth it soon evaporates
@gregh6794 Spot on mate - that works also! You're a man with a wealth of knowledge. See you on the next one legend 😎👌
Great work thats so clean so much patience
