I miss your trapped in the garage winter content Darren. Damn algorithm just had to make you more popular…lol
Thanks for the memories man, you are YouTube at its best.
Hey must be one looks good buddy. I appreciate your honesty about your dyslexia to that's got to be pretty difficult.
Down with the snow!
Great thinking ahead re the battery hold down 'bracket'. Allowing for higher and wider use possible in the future.
i have not seen all the vids to this yet but i hope you put a work light in the bottom cargo hold
all most there
You do well, but I can tell Electrickery is not your forte! It's baffling!
i need that flux capacitor for the 46 dodge!
Looking good it has really started coming together. Â Can't wait to see her on the road again. Â Don't know if you have this little bit of information, but Brookhaven Lumber Co is supposed to still be an active business. Â It would be awesome if you could take the old girl down there and let them see it. Â Stay warm and I hope you had a good holiday season.
🙂
Love your explanation of everything, good job. Mike
Very clever fixes, thanks for sharing
That there patch will rust in fine.
thought new motors had low oil shut off. VW coming along
There is a lot of good work there.
To be honest, I KNEW how the old style two wire flashers worked with the bi-metal switch but I never worked much with the three wire units and always wondered about the internals as compared to the two wire units… now I know!
I have been meaning to ask, the bare metal on the passenger side of the rear… some previous bondo? If you advance the rusting of the front door are you going to do that area too?
I had similar sized Crown and Miller welders that I used where I worked, the Crown was serviceable but the Miller was a much easier rig to weld with and changing over from one rig to another that acts dissimilar was always a pain.
Mustie1, U should video some of the electrical troubleshooting, I'm sure the creative profanity would be amusing. Good job on that door, watching this project has shown me that there is a lot of structure under a VW bus/single cabs skin.
Getting down to the nitty gritty my friend! Years ago 63 Impala talked about a rust making brew that he uses to make rust overnight, seemed pretty straight-forward. As far as writing long letters goes, as I told you before, I like writing and I am not really a huge fan of talking on the phone, so I completely understand! Don't worry about replying with long letters to anything I write, a few words here and there is okay with me!
I understand, my daughter is also dyslexic. Keep up the good work brother. You might be more of an inspiration than you realize.
just went to look at a new generator and it also some how blew the oil fill plug out. lost oil and locked up.
Great update brother, looks like you've got plenty of snow and plenty of work too. Single cab is still my favorite subject here, too  bad about that brand new blower losing the engine, big money repair !
Coming along nicely.
Coming along nicely D . . . . do you ever sleep?? haha . . . . 😉 Rog
its gerbled up how german can you get!!!!!
I was just looking at you 'update' from back in July….when it was 90…..man have you come a long way!!
Your still gettin' a lot done! Looks like you've got more done than not. I wonder if that wax would help the battery box and bracket not corrode? I'm surprised to find out you and sixtfive use flux core. I'm just beginning to weld with flux core welder so it give me some hope. Not doing so well yet.
