    I appreciate your respirator comments. My father passed this year and he was a paint and body man forever. He would wear a respirator for painting but never for grinding or welding. He developed pulmonary fibrosis in one lung and then cancer in the other. He basically died suffocating. I watch a lot of CZcams channels where guys are just grinding away, welding or screwing around and not protecting their eyes, ears or lungs and feel very sad for them after watching my father slowly become unable to breathe for about a year. Protect yourself. I always wear at least an N95 mask when kicking up any kind of dust working on a car. You don't know what that dust is made of from that car sitting for years. Just subscribed to your channel because of your care and intelligence.

      @@HowesItDoinGarage The C10 kit is fully bolt on. Had to slot almost every hole, trim several brackets, had a whole bag of the wrong size lock nuts, and it took 3 tries to get me the brake lines that fit the calipers. The rear 4-link had some instruction issues but everything did fit together better than the front.

    Very nice video Mike. Thanks for sharing. You have a really nice shop there. Thankyou for the advice regarding why you wear the respirator. Metal poisoning from zink and other metals is never a good thing. Its one of the reasons why they outlawed zink chromate and replaced it with zink oxide. The work you did on the Ford Fairlane looks amazing. DD Speed Shop told me to check out your CZcams Channel. Look forward to seeing more future content. Keep up the great work!

    I have a 1966 two door post Fairlane and am going to a TCI suspension kit my self my question is how did you know where to centre the kit in when the original suspension was gone
    Your explanation was good in your description but it would have been better if you explained how and why you got your measurements information from to set the front end up before welding otherwise great video I have subscribed
