First: Oil the Come-a-long. Second: Oil the garage door
Safety first how bout some gloves an leather sleeves
It's OK Ray; I would have crawled under and shot the support from the back too! 😀
Twisted Metal !! Love that game, watch out for the ice cream truck
Grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't! I woulda done the same thing. Fixed, nobody is gonna see it and not structural! Wassup with the d-max dually with the water in oil/oil in water? I think it torched a hole in the block judging by the fuel knock on first start.
Ejoyed the vid, just a small question does the battery have to be disconected before electric welding, thanks
Do you have OCD?
12:18 Glad to see the flap wheels getting used now Ray. Behind every great welder is a great grinder. 😂 Using a G clamp to squeeze the tear back into place is another little win. ðŸ†
No hitch on the Tayho? Prolly cuz it can't tow anything anyway… It's a Tchevy thing… 😂😂😂
I do the same body work in my shop… Can't get that bumper straight? Just hook it to the Cummins… Who needs Devin!😂
A grinder and paint, make me the welder I aint.
@10:22 just realized Ray is the Mr Rogers of automotive repair
Your welding is getting better man
When your glasses slide off your face like that it is a good day for a shake at the Shake Pit on Manatee. Now that I think of it, every day is a good day for a shake at the Shake Pit.
Bodywork with large hammer and come-a-long. LOVE IT! After all it ain't no Bentley.
I would have also used a large C-clamp in conjunction with the hand winch…
Edit: I wrote that RIGHT BEFORE you used the brake caliper spreader.
Ray you have a body shop next door why didn't you ask them for advice
If it were me doing this repair, I would probably have taken the bumper off, used a torch to heat the steel until it was hot enough that it was malleable, and then used clamps and an eye beam that is flat and straight to base to press it intoa straightened form while heating the bend points so that they remain malleable and allow it to be bent into the correct shape.
I was in your neck of Florida last week visiting my family, really cool having a celebrity in town haha
Rainman Ray the man with the plan!
I wonder if there was enough room for a scissor jack between the bumper and the body? Open it up to straighten it out. 🤷ðŸ½â€â™‚ï¸
A large c- clamp would help you there
I want that tahoe
I've seen worse body work performed by "professional body men". Hell I've done worse welding jobs in the past. For a feller who doesn't do body work, you did fairly good work in my opinion.
You are a brave man, doing welding on YouTube !
Click bait title worked great on me
Welcoming back!
more better
ray you drive me crazy the way you use the hammers in your life. Hammers have leverage down on the handle and less on the neck.
Shady Girkins is selling remanned Dodge Pro Master rear bumper supports, they also will re program it, double charge, and have it done before you even get there…
Not bad. You are a pretty fart smeller!
Straight up Red Neck Shit right there! I Love it! 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah call me a fraidy cat , but I agree 100% put a weight blanket over the cable at very least, that shit can kill ya w/o you ever hearing snap.. Great job just kinda, had me walking backwards and I'm on my phone watching this lol.✌ï¸
Nice video.
Yea Ray. Beat it till it fits
When you said "beat it" I was expecting micheal Jackson to come on 😂
