no outro? you guys stop slacking on editing .
all the brushes for grinder look to be made at the same place, they all lose the wires quicker than i lose my hair. Have a nice week.
When you look at a vehicle stripped down to its bare chassis there is no wonder they rot like hell.
Love the videos. Where do you get your magnetic cob lights that I’ve seen you use when welding? They are just what I need
Another great video but as I have said before the amount of work required to get that vehicle to this state and it is not yet finished and done at a commercial rate now would be beyond its market value.
Two questions
1) the front of the body tub floor is a different colour to the rear half is this just another colour of Hammerite.
2) it is impossible to get access to all the chassis internals unless more access points are cut and cleaned and then welded again. Unless all the areas are mechanically cleaned inside as shown in the video, it is questionable about internal spraying of anti rust coatings to the blind areas which will just land on loose crud. Therefore as you have said before this is a training video rather than a complete restoration. It has to stop some where as you just chase your tail in the end.
I see you usually alternate between a wire wheel and a flap wheel in your angle grinder, have you ever tried the rapid strip wheels (Norton do a wheel called blaze rapid strip) I find them in my limited use to be an ideal cross over, aggressive enough to remove rust and paint but not so aggressive that you actually grind material away(if you concentrated on one spot for an extended period of time you would actually remove some material but not much)
What are your thoughts on these?
bruh hammerite is 1 of the worst paint for a car … it chips right off every 1k primer is better than this stuff
Enjoying the content : ) BUT rubber gloves are for washing up not welding or grinding ; )
You need to move that poor Snap-On House (Rollcab) out the way with all that chaos right next to it! Gawd the rot on that Rustzuki..
You really should wear a mask when cleaning the chassis or anything else for that matter. Appreciate they're not the best when trying work but they do help protect your lungs from all crap in the air.
Nice job n the Chassis repair – really impressive welding on the outrigger
