    Boy you just don’t see cars like this anymore. They’ve been scrapped and are license plates now. This is a cool project.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Love those 55 wagons. I have one handed down to me from my grandmother 37 years ago. Built my first engine at 16 for it. Just pulled it into my shop to bring it back to life. Thanks for the great video!

    Those station wagon bumpers used to be popular to delete the tags from the trunk. Just subscribed. Like what I see so far. 👍👉🇺🇸

    All the places that you have double panel dirt gets in and stays wet so watch out overlapping stuff

  • @timothyparker9810
    @timothyparker9810 Před 2 lety +1

    The factory uses a fat tip 3/8 in spot welder and overlaps the spot welds till you have one continuous seeing that's waterproof and then you don't need caulk but they caulk it anyway

    Yeah the factory in the old days did drill holes and then weld them but then came along good spot welders and the factory nowadays cold welding with lasers

    Was there a reason you didn’t corrosion proof the hinges before you reinstated them?

    • @tjames1858
      @tjames1858 Před 9 měsíci +1

      The tank is from CPP and it is set up to use the factory fuel fill. The tailgate and rear panel are from Golden Star Classic Auto Parts. The delete kit is from Real Deal Steel.

    I don't get the whole spare delete thing. First the fuel capacity was fine for 70 years and second it's a great storage place.

    If you're only welding sheet metal you should be using one of their 115-volt mig welders there is no argon tank and it has a cold weld and the only cost 200 bucks

  • @craigmonteforte1478
    @craigmonteforte1478 Před 2 lety

    in regards to drilling out the Tailgate Screws ? you are replacing the panel so what’s the big Deal? you can easily Weld new Nuts for threads if you need to that shouldn’t be much of a question ? Worst case drill and tap a Steel Plate heck you guys can even design a better system of a floating Plate that allows you to have some small Adjustment for easier Alignment than the Original Part
