Really like the kickstand at 5:10 – excellent idea!
To think that I wasted that wax by putting it under my toilet!
1:50 like butter on toast ?? More like an English Muffin Lol awesome idea the truck coming along nicelyðŸ‘
Oh man the glass looks awesome in that I wish that one head and it cracked. Hopefully you can find one for it.
Whoa, I never knew the treasure chest latch worked like that! Thanks!
Good video! Slowly getting there.
Yeah, it's a pity that one windshield cracked.
I just learned that there is a great product called weldable primer, you may already know about it, but it is just the thing for protecting supports under a panel because you can spray the primer on and then weld the panels in place. The primer then flows back around the area that was welded, preventing future rust. Apparently there are several types but the copper based version was recommended.
01:37 Nasa could do worse than use this for the dark side of the moon shots. It's more realistic than the CGI they spit out!
watchin'…very very nice truck!
Looking great. Â Your metal work is awesome.
Looks awesome…..the side that you cleaned that is. 🙂 Na, the whole thing is lookin' great, especially the 'treasure chest'! I hope your last video of it will have a bunch of before and after shots.
i love  the brookhaven lumber on the front
Wax job looks mint. Perfect finish for that classic truck. Like the restoration of the side hatch door, clever with the hardware upgrades. Somehow that shiney paint in the cab seems disrespectful…lol Great video of the huge tasks you've completed on the body and bed. Let me know how many teeth are on that 7HP elec starter pinion, hmmm Stay warm, where's the SkiDoo ?
Your work rate is astonishing. It takes me a whole day just to clean and partially service my bike!
Great work you wouldn't know from outside the work done on the inside.
Looking great!! When will you be getting a turntable for the garage ?? 😉
Sweet, you did give yourself a 'gate break'… came out pretty nice considering what was left of the hinges. Love the 'kickstand', repurposing stuff like that is too cool. I dunno that paint matching is a bugger, I was thinking more black, AND more gray, but it's such a difficult balancing act. The cab sure came out nice though… the underside of the old rubber mat that WAS in there is probably where the mice got the felt nest that was in the skid plate.
Ever use vinegar for cleaning up metal pieces? Great for hardware.
Nice job,very clever on the metal fab and preservation techniques,your going to have a cool pickup when it's all done,here in the uk these go for big money. Anyway I look forward to the next update 🙂
wax even comes with 3 year warranty  i see.lol
I can't believe the progress you are making and how fast.
Learnin this ol hillbilly a thing or two! Thankye kindly!
