Candyshop Customs
Registrace 21. 01. 2008
Candy Shop Customs is one of the most famous shops that never existed; The name came about when a bunch of us were hanging out in the garage drinking some frosty beverages and listening to some 50cent...the rest they say is history! My name is J.D. I bought my first truck at age 15, and I've been lowering everything in sight since then, I've learned some do's and don'ts along the way and have been lucky enough to contribute back to the car and truck world with some Tech articles I did for Minitruckin' Magazine with a Lil Ol' Chevy Luv dubbed the "Junkyard Jewel" that we debuted at Sema2013. But we just call the truck Pedro.
Hopefully we'll get to share some tips and tricks with you on some of our projects, and maybe help you guys figure out a few things on your own projects along the way!!! If all goes well I hope to post a video about once every Month or so.
Give us a follow, and post your Positive comments!!!

Muffler fell off, New exhaust fix
OK, so here's the full video of the exhaust repair. As the story goes the wife and I were out and about and the muffler fell off when I backed into a driveway to turn around. So I ordered a new muffler on Amazon and had a look around at what I had on the farm. What I came up with is just a new 3" exhaust with a muffler and a resonator and a turn down.
Nice deep rumble, doesn't drone on the highway, and not too loud. The muffler I think was somewhere around $150-160 I think.

Swapping out the 0.35 for some 0.23 on the Mig
zhlédnutí 59Před 7 hodinami
Just swapping out the thicker 0.35 wire for some 0.23 so I can weld up the rockers on the Daj! Heat control is the best strategy when welding sheet metal, too much and you'll burn thru and warp everything. On my machine I need to flip the drive roller for the proper feed groove and you'll need to swap out the contactor tip to match the wire size you're running. Set up your wire tension and then...
Maytag washing machine door sag Fix!
zhlédnutí 21Před 9 hodinami
So the door on our Maytag Maxima washing machine started to sag more and more, to the point it would drop significantly and drag on the opening when opened or closed. After doing a bit of research I found that this was a fairly common issue. It's a pretty easy fix and we were able to buy a new hinge off Amazon for about $60cdn.

STARS air ambulance spool up and take off
zhlédnutí 39Před dnem
Was pretty cool to watch the STARS air ambulance spool up and take off. If you don't feel like watching the idle time just FFW to about 1.30 for the spool up and take off! Sounded super cool in person! I sure hope no one I know ever needs it, but it's nice to know it's around.
Fixed the Microwave for $11, 😱 The Microwave is Sparking

"Honey, the Microwave is Sparking!" So out of the the Microwave starts "sparking/flashing almost like a fireball.😳 Like, Woah, that ain't normal. So apparently the silver square piece in the inside, called the Waveguide, is a piece of Mica that protects the Magnatron, and prevents sparks. So I quickly searched on Amazon, found a 10 pack of Mica sheets for $11 and it was on my doorstep the next ...

Here's the follow up vid from yesterday's diag video on the CTS. Just a quick little confirmation of the diagnosis.

Tool Tip: Hacksaw
zhlédnutí 364Před měsícem
Tool Tip: When using a hacksaw, use long strokes, often people will use short strokes, this only uses a small amount of the teeth on the blade, causing them to overheat and fail. Long strokes allows the teeth to do their work and time to cool, the result will be a faster cut and a longer tool life. #tooltip #tipsandtricks #lifehack #hacksaw #hacksawjd #shorts #short

“Exhaust-ing” Bahaha too funny
@@superiorstreetstyles Thank you, I'm here all week 😉
I'd probably screw that up and weld the bolt to the hole
Why doesn't the weld stick to the engine block?
@briholt100 Cylinder head is aluminum. If it's a cast head or block you'd want to take extra precaution not to weld to it. Old School trick is to paint the area around the broken bolt with liquid paper, helps the weld to not stick to the parent metal 😉👊
@@jedlowdually so I've got a broken extractor bolt, inside a broken bolt, inside an aluminum intake plenum (22re). Liquid paper? Like white out? Thank you for your information
@briholt100 Shitty, I'd still use this method, weld don't care if it's a broken bolt or the extractor...
nobody has a welder...
@ronaldwoofer5024 Actually lots of people do...doesn't need to be a Mig, you can also do this with an old stick welder!
How does it not just weld to the threads?
@colinhume5164 This was an aluminum cylinder head, if it's a cast head you need to take some extra precautions.
there is a difference between a simply sheared off bolt and a bolt that has corroded in place. This is the WAY easier one.
@@yeagermcbipper9008 Oh sure, there's many factors. A bolt that's too long and gets wedged into a blind hole is a nightmare to extract.
Damn that’s almost cheating 😂 wish I had a welder laying around
@@Tigermeg816 So Satisfying too!!!
What is that machine?
@@thomasw5518 Machine? A bench grinder?
Thanks
'64, had mine out today
@@tomjefferson3148 Nice! Always a special treat when I get to drive this one.
If I do this will I have an issue since the bolt is on the waterpump ?
@jackeroo75 If the area around the broken bolt is steel then you need to take precaution NOT to weld to the parent material. You can paint the area around the broken bolt with Liquid paper and that will help prevent it. Other than that you'll have to decide if anything else will be affected from the weld.
@@jedlowdually can I use aluminum to shield my water pump and surrounding area?
Not always that easy.
@@pattwidale4045 No, not always, but quite often.
if we only knew what it was you bought lol
@ghost_rider221 They're called a Waveguide. Basically they're just Mica sheets. If you look inside any microwave you'll see one inside. They protect the Magnatron, I guess they wear out or get contaminated over time, food splatter and cleaning, then the microwave sparks/flashes.
for those who can't weld.. wondering if using JB weld could be used in a similar manner.. well we can wish anyway
@@user-ml8dm9fz6l One way to find out, but my guess would be it's wishful thinking.
Haha that’s awesome
@@smh2754 👊👍
And if you don't have a welder you're screwed lol
@Bobcatspiritdude 😂 Well yeah, this method is kinda dependent on that! You can use a Mig or stick tho!
Nice bro

Why though
@TurdCurdle I explain it all in the video I posted the day before, symptoms and the diag I did.
If at first u don't succeed try try again . That is a good method
@@Kevin-vv6oe 👊👍
@@jedlowdually Last yr removed broken starter bolt on a CB 750 Honda took 3 tries . So yeah 👍
@Kevin-vv6oe Still way better than using an extractor any day!
Why the washer I have seen people use a washer in between but I assumed that was like a buffer to slide easier or something but watching this I can only assume is it is easily to get the washer welded then weld the nut to the washer, I juat use a nut and it generally takes 2 trys with a flux core welder so maybe I'm wrong
@james10739 If the broken bolt or stud is broken too far down you may lose too much heat trying to weld to a nut. Welding 1st to a washer gets you the thickness of the nut closer to the broken bolt so you have a better chance of welding to it, then once you do it's easy to weld a nut to that.
Yeah easy to do when the motor is out of the truck

It makes no sense whatsoever to create synthetic crops,only to have them sprayed with pesticides.There is your reason so many are dieing from eating crops.
Old radial powered, not turbine, makes this raid sound pretty neat! Dusters, brave pilots!🇺🇸
@retydeere1111 That's what I first noticed too, the radial! Pretty cool!
Neat video. Ignore the haters.
@waterlife.1905 😂👊👍 It was pretty cool because it had a radial engine, don't see these too often these days anymore.
@@jedlowdually I noticed it didn't have that turbine whine. Ya most are turboprops my understanding. And they are a lot bigger than they appear in the sky. Best pilots in the world in my opinion.

Unless they are completely done no need to replace them they always have a copper color showing ?
@LSXMILLER They were the reason of this tear down, engine had a cam bearing knock.
@jedlowdually OK if they were that bad I would hate to see the rest of the motor ? Just saying a complete rebuild would be your best bet
