- Back at it on Wednesday morning, I found my lost door, got some body line work done, suicide hinges on a new pillar, and the door handle placed. Sure does fill up a video fast, and if you all are like me, your attention spans can't take much more.
If anyone actually read this, I'm considering doing a short CAD video once a week, and see if I can't pass along some basic, and not so basic skills. What's everyone think about that? And are there things you'd like to see?
Go out and build something, and enjoy your day, right after you watch me mangle some metal. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Nice, it's great to see old junk being brought back to life.
I enjoy the "backyard tear it apart and build it together the way you want it". Not only will I subscribe but I'll
be looking at your old videos to ketch up. Keep rocking
I promise, there's more good stuff coming. The comments are driving me to make it awesomer than I had planned.
Love seeing restoration like this
keep at really coming together can't wait
Thank you Mark 🍻
Love your work 👍👍👍🇦🇺😃
Thank you 🍻
I wouldnt worry about us not enjoying the deails yes you could fast forward on welding hammering etc but how you fix the doors to the hinges and posts would be fascinating on a future build loving it all and thanks for letting us in, Joe
Love how your using what you have to work with.
Yes it would be nice to have all the tools but it would cost you lot's of money
It all build by you and with help from your kids it's going to be a awesome ride when done
Thank you 🍻
This is killer, great work! I’m stealing this idea for my van! 👍
Thank you 🍻
A lot of good tips and wisdom. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. And you're welcome. I enjoy trying to get what's inside this rock on my shoulders out in a way that people can understand.
Morning,loved this episode.really refreshing to see a grass roots type of build..thank you,Steve,Helene and Fred the dog
Right on! Fab u Lou's 👍
Thanks man 🍻
Right on you will c me around your channel! Do they call you Mr repurpose 😁👍
I kid you not, King of Booty fab is a moniker a friend of mine gave me on an internet forum probably 15 years ago. I am a huge fan of building from the trash pile.
Reminds me of an adult sized Fiat Topolino lol. Keep it up, enjoying seeing the progress
Those are such cool little cars. I'm 6'4 so I could never fit in one, but still hahaha.
Thank you. I'm having a blast showing it off
@@kingofbootyfab yeah I did metal work on one and squeezing my 6’3 290 pound self inside was a challenge to say the least lol.
It's called work smarter not harder !
To each their own .., to me the back window needs to come up to be centered with the door window openings, maybe a tad bit higher than center. But looks to be a nice build and shows a ton of skills in your work.
liking the project... amazed how you can go from digital to stone age tech and make it work together...a rare talent indeed..
I have way more fun building low tech. But know that the high tech has some serious value. A very good friend of mine told me the other day that the ability to switch back and forth between makes what I do easier to understand, I'm planning an entire series of weekly videos to show more CAD work and high tech stuff, to hopefully help open doors for people to be able to make use of the tools people have in their own communities. Pretty much every guy with a plasma table will cut your brackets if you give him a file. I want to make that easier for people.
Thanks for sharing this, going together nicely!
Nice content... tricky job which you found a way to do. Still suffering from poor sound... you need a mic on yourself or one of those big fluffy jobs so we can still hear you when you turn away or the camera is further back. Looks like you are heading for a fast frame sequence filling all those patch holes, a good opportunity to try some music.
I do have a mic coming, and I hope that fixes everything. I'm glad that's the biggest issue I seem to be having 🤣
Looks good ! Get some safety glasses man !
Yeah, I'm horrible for that, and realized someone would point it out.
Ok , if you don’t get safety glasses I’m unscribing 😂
I own a few pairs. I'll remember to film them next video
I like your style this is a great project hope we see it finished Jeff from England
Some days I have the attention span of a squirrel with ADHD. But it will be done. Eventually I'm sure the channel will mix in some of my art, and 4x4 work too, I've always got 6 or 8 projects on the go
You could use some 1/2 tubing bend it around the back window than cut it in half and weld it on . I've tried it it works for me
I appreciate your ability to know when something is good enough for what it is. I’ve followed your work since the Pirate4x4 days. Like you I really enjoy designing things in CAD, but sometimes that ability combined with my personality stifles creativity and progress in a free form way. It’s hard to convince the mind that not every project needs to be designed for production and to be easily repeatable by any fool. Repeatability and accuracy is great, but will often never pay for its time/intention cost in a project that’s only getting built once. I could have spent a whole day making a fixture for your hinges that would ensure their linearity and would consider it bonus points for making it applicable to the other side of the car… but in reality you’re not a fool who can’t with some effort sneak up on good enough without all the planning, and the effort spent chasing perfection and repeatability would probably not pay off against utilizing your talent to make it good enough on one side and repeating it for good enough on the other side. Such pursuits can suck me down the rabbit hole so bad that I get stuck in analysis paralysis and project burnout.
I wish I could have a bit more of the artists mind sometimes, and hopefully following you show your mix of styles/talents can teach me something and inspire me to take these projects a little more for what they are and need to be.
Thanks!
Yeah, I've been making bad decisions for a real long time 🤣
This project is super healthy for me, because I seriously get what you're saying. I went into this with the complete expectation that is was just a pile of junk, and who cares. I've built so many things where I worry about repeating the hinge bolt patterns if it ever needs repair, and skip over the fact that I'd have to find a set of 38 doors first.
Hands down, this is one of the most fun projects I've ever done. But pretty quick it will bring out the tools, we're building the beadroller and belt grinder I designed, and I've got some cool stuff on the way, the TIG will get wired....I can wait to see it roll
İs there old work of him on youtube? I'd watch it.
No, sadly that was all pictures, that between a few personal losses, and photo bucket destroying old storage pages, I've mostly lost. Actually filming what I'm working on is a new thing for me
@@kingofbootyfab for it to be a new thing you seem pretty natural talking to the camera awesome video man can't wait to see more
@@jeremiahleonard8194 thank you 🍻
I talk to myself all the time, so it's not a huge stretch, but it's still a little awkward on my end. I'm glad people enjoy it
Interesting build and lookin' good. Too bad about those quarter windows, those were a positive attribute. Also, like the door handles, but maybe they should be pointing forwards.
I could still point the handle forward. I'm not completely sold either direction. And I hear you about the windows, but once I had sectioned them, proportionally, they where all wrong. I actually built one side with the window originally, and it was almost a kidney bean, and just deterred from what I wanted. The 39 beside it still has them so it made what I saw even worse.
hey , looks like its going to be a cool car , i have a 4 door shoebox i have thought about making a 2 door rat , but not sure yet , also thinking about setting it a a crown vic floor , stay safe my friends
I want to do a 50s 4 door on an AWD chassis. An Envoy or something, LS Powered and all modern parts but stock appearing outside. Tough to go wrong no matter what you do
@@kingofbootyfab this is a 50 model shoebox , just the shell and already has a tile , i got it cheap , and i feel like i got to drive it ,, ill do a video on it when i start it , the wife said i have to finish my truck first
Was watching your ih axle vid and had just wished we lived closer together,we just sold off 2,1937 chev trucks long box step side partially done
I started doing doors from scratch..inside lowers were gone, after much thought partner decided to go in a different direction.had boxes of extra stuff you could have scavenged for zippo
Always seems like the way. I appreciate the thought. I love where I live, but trying to source parts is an adventure. I stumble on thing occasionally, but most of the time they are horribly overpriced, which is why I start from nothing
@@kingofbootyfab these trucks were derlicks from a farm that the farmer said take-em... If ya look around here alot of stuff just off the beatin path out in the woods and back roads that can be had pretty cheap here in Oregon. I can remember the salvage yards that had been in business for years that just crushed the hell outta some vintage tin that just made me cry man...it was a travesty dude
That's the kind of deal we'd road trips for days for 🤣
I do miss the surplus of old metal that the prairies had. And if definitely changes rhe way I build here
we have a questionnaire here in Australia about being a bogan 'have you ever mowed your lawn and found another car?'.
Hahahaha. In the states (and here by proxy) we have "you might be a redneck if you mow your lawn and find a car.
Mine was on a shelf in the garage, about to be thrown I the scrap bin
Being in that.car is like being in a bath tub, you do not want to be seen in it Cuz!
Interesting perspective.
👍🏻🍺
After having metal removed from both my eyes four times I'd suggest some eye protection
Yeah I've had it a few times. Ironically, I've gotten more in my eyes when wearing them that when I don't. But I make a horrible role model so I'm working to wear them more.
Nice channel. Im lucky to find. Which welder tip ist that? So small. Thats great for this sheet metal
Thank you 🍻
It's just a Lincoln Mig pak, probably close to 20 years old, that I'm using with Flux core so have no need for the gas nozzle.
I have to watch not to ground it out, but it fits everywhere like this.
hope the camera is running when the bear claws are installed thanks
Absolutely. I'm starting to skip over metal work I've already covered, no matter how many times I cut a panel out to replace, it's the same. But there's some technical work in the latches that some people struggle with, I'll make sure to break it down like a caveman would
It appears you are using a fluxcore wire since you don't use the gas nozzle on your gun?
Yes. Once upon a time I had all the tools I could want. I'm slowly rebuilding my shop, and I haven't wired my TIG yet. Think we're picking up a new Mig this month but honestly, since I'm working outside in the wind and rain, the Fluxcore is working super well for sheet metal
Just found your channel, looking forward to watching as many of your videos as I can. If you run into something and need some pointers, and if you haven’t found these two guys yet. Check out Karl at make it custom and Fitzee at Fitzees fabrication. These two are easily among the top ten fabrication channels on CZcams.
I've been watching Karl for years. Or maybe it just feels like years.
Funny enough, he's pretty much just a boat ride away from me. And honestly, he's easily one of my favorite channels, if not the top.
It's tough to stump me, I've been doing dumb things a real long time. But I pick up tricks from everywhere, I will stop learning when I die. 😁
Great stuff here! Rat rods for Africa is a great channel too. Check it out if you don't know it already.
@@tryphontournesol427 I'm subscribed, I've been watching him for a while.
I love the ones that build from nothing.
Sub'd just for the channel name
I'll still take the W 🍻
@@kingofbootyfab hey the video was great too! Don't get me wrong :)
Whats suicide hinge? Im not familiar.
Refers to the hinges being at the rear of the door. I know in North America it's a standard term, but I am honestly not sure across the water.
@@kingofbootyfab thanks!
I subscribed NOW DO ME A FAVOR GET SOME SAFETY GLASSES PLEASE
Would you believe I point out I have safety glasses in my next video, that was uploaded two days ago and goes live tomorrow morning?
Horrible bad habit. But I work on improving every time someone reminds me.
Sometimes your volume is to low.
And I need a mic. It's in the works already. I think it's improved though
