After finding some leaks in the radiator of the 1949 Dodge Sedan and realizing that we already had a new radiator meant for a late 60s mustang that would fit along with a better fan from a Trans Am, we decided to make the modifications and install it. Video of the whole process coming soon! […]
The Thickstun intake has been installed along with the single Fish carburetor.

On this episode, we get back to the 48 Pontiac Streamliner Deluxe Silver Streak 8! We rebuild the carb, find out we have the wrong kit, put it back together, soak down the cylinders and valves, fix a plug wire, and she barks off just like that! Now she’s running good, lets tear all the […]

Although the video is about 1947-1954 Chevy or Gmc trucks, the process is largely the same for welding cab corners on any make or model of truck from any era including modern trucks. Aftermarket cab […]
Hello. In today’s video we will begin the rust repair on the 1948 GMC truck cab. We will start off by replacing the lower door post, repairing the broken front body mount and building a new front floor pan using simple tools. It can be intimidating knowing where to start on any major rust repair […]
