Where's it leaking from exactly

@@GearHeadzGarageUSA thank you. Its leaking at the front, passenger side head light

@sawyerramos3113 well the only thing up there is the radiator inlet sounds like you probably need a new radiator, I would double check the tube connection to the radiator first to make sure it's tight but other than that there's nothing else up there except for that radiator If it's not coming exactly towards the front of the vehicle but it's more underneath the vehicle on the passenger side then you need to start looking at a water pump check the front of the motor and make sure it's dry get underneath it put your hand up there

@@GearHeadzGarageUSA thank you. Its right underneath, I can see the fluid just leaking out. Is there a way I can send you pics? or maybe video chat? I have a leak repair coming, but am curious what it could be, I cannot drive the car at all, too hard to turn.

So honestly what ever route you go your going to be a little tight. I'm 6/3 and did 1100 mile road trip in mine and it's not bad but .........for a few extra inches go with the 27. The reason I have a ton of room is I didn't go nuts with interior padding etc. Check out the 54 episodes of the build I believe the interior was around ep10

Yeah I caught all the main episodes I missed a few short videos in there enjoyed watching the build.

@@austinpatrick6197 just remember the door! Biggest mistake I ever made was not getting the door and regret it everyday

Hopefully it runs

Cheap and fast hot rod....well reasonable

Oh me to, especially with the new cam

Hehe

11000 plus miles and no kickdown, runs great and shifts great! Not using the kickdown won't burn anything up and you woulddnt want a kickdown throwing down on such a lite car.

It's all about that rivnut tool

Kirkland is the same it's rebranded for them and about 50$ cheaper for 4 gallons than the ole shell

Amazing motor, get rid of the junk timing chain set and this thing rips. Its a very unknown motor but its came of the line ready to run 450hp+ with forged internals. unheard of at the time and still to this day for a stock production I4. It was also the first of its kind to offer DI.

Awesome question, actually doing a video now of building a custom set using BC Lowers, QA1 Parts, and some SLA Printed parts. The DF supplied rears were to expensive but I did look at the maxxspeed ones as I did like the color. Will be dropping the video soon

Knowing what I know now and knowing what I would do differently, I wouldn't even get a donor. As for the V2, I did hear the V2 doesnt really require much. Heard the V2 has everything already installed except for an engine, wheels, harness etc..... but maybe that's changed since the release of remember hearing about it about a year ago

Sweet!!! You doing a custom frame or going with a prefab

@@GearHeadzGarageUSA Bought a frame kit, and welded it all up. Came out great but i WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN! Next one i'll just buy a prefab one. Saves on the back and grinding.

@sifuentes31 oh I hear you on that one I was thinking of just having the perimeter frame done and then I'll weld everything else on

@@GearHeadzGarageUSA best way in my opinion.

@@sifuentes31 I just need a little excuse to do some welding I'll pass on the grinding part though 🤣🤣

Take care of it now, it'll last you a long time. Sitting at 80k miles and haven't spent a dime on anything but batteries oil and filters

The wheels are already turning on this bus, always fun to see what people like though

Honestly no.....it's all about the Ford's with Chevy motors lmfao

It has actually, something was not good for awhile and very frustrating whoever was doing shipping was also the person handling the phone and communication multitasking was not their specialty. Overall though just talked to them the other day over a few parts that were incorrect and it was shipped same day. I still have a few other things I need so I will see how stage 3 goes honestly I will only talk to A or L if I need anything the other girl is God awful

@GearHeadzGarageUSA that's really good to hear, and thank you for responding. I ordered my kit last month so I was a little worried, but thats a huge relief to hear now

@FallenAngel92j my advice just stay on them, if you don't get what you need let me know I'll try to help you out got DFs mom on speed dial lol. But overall as frustrated as I was they always make things right. They are truly a small biz doing big things but hoping communication improves as I'm not a fan of the forum. I actually find the forum for DF to be heavily moderated by fanboys just my $0.02 What frame number are you?

@GearHeadzGarageUSA I'm frame #537, and will do man, I appreciate it! I'm looking forward to more videos from you about yours, your videos are alot more in depth than alot of others

Thanks! Yeah im not about that high pace, drug induced videos where you got no idea whats going on lol. I really like explaining and going in deep. I found that although the goblin is completly outside of the projects I normal do I wanted to keep the same vibe as most of the videos out there are just wam-bam-look what we did in 5 mins.

We're narrowing it down! Started to see a consensus

Heck, I'm a long way off we still gotta get the goblin done, the t bucket engine rebuilt, but I did start collecting parts for the new build already I won't lie. Had a nice 489 BBC show up needing some love

@@GearHeadzGarageUSA. Got to go with the 32 coupe .

I'm liking the trend in these!

@@GearHeadzGarageUSA Most of the parts for a 30/31 are about half the cost of a 32. You can still use a 32 grill. with a 30/31 hood. the frames are a third the cost of a 32. I built a 28 Love the front fenders. But the engine compartment is more narrow. Hood and fenders are a must to be legal here in Pennsylvania. I built a 30 Coupe and loved it. I have almost everything to build a 30 Roadster.

@aerialimagesbydoug5733 agree on the frame once you move up from 31 the frames are crazy. Was thinking a plain Jane a rod 28-31 spring behind frame with a nice z chop so the motor doesn't sit so low and a nice Richmond manual

@@GearHeadzGarageUSA Just a FYI My 28 I built with a spring behind the rear axle. Not bad if you are going down a nice flat road, But a bump in the road on either side and it threw the rear one side or the other' My 30 I used and after market frame and a 4 link suspension a Panhard bar, QA1 coil overs and a Chevy S10 rear axle. S10 Axle does not need to be narrowed.

Got that strap on special should be good, but you'll be the first to find out!

@@GeorgiaRidgerunner yeah like triple

Thinking about a nice z frame high motor, Channel body

Save you a little dough$ to

Looking like a grade 8

@@GearHeadzGarageUSA thank you

That's the joke Pontiac is out of business

@ what's the thing you throw down? I'm confused

@uPilot it was an old video, but it's a new cooling system install. Unfortunately you can't really get any parts for these things and the aftermarket support sucks so you have to improvise. It was new charging and cooling lines for the LNF cooling system.

​@@uPilotthere was a playlist for the car build here youtube.com/@gearheadzgarageusa?si=TbL1jeMCfTmjg-ho

Coke makes parties more fun

Good eye.....that fan and welder were on the same circuit and that welder pulls a lot of amp. I have since moved it to its own dedicated circuit

@@duckhunter8387 alrighty maybe we need a video

Didn't even know they made a Ford Transit Diesel. Seems like a terrible place to put them as well. I can only guess what they charge to replace them!

@ It was an option, we had decent success with our other diesel’s, I expect it it be my last diesel.

@@airecraft1 how many miles you got it so far? Any issues?

@ It’s a 2015 it’s almost 300,000 miles . It’s been repaired quite a few times , I can’t remember everything. The Brakes were terrible until I discovered that year the brakes were swapped divers and passenger side in the factory, the exhaust DPF clogged twice. Fortunately the second time it cleared out thank god.

Yeah that DPF is expensive. My 2014 Duramax was almost 10K to replace the DPF set and it was about at 200k

@@GeorgiaRidgerunner it’s an odd place for batteries but we’ve managed to deal with them

Oh they make their money on battery changes at the shop! It took me about 2 hours I think book time is 1.2

​@@GearHeadzGarageUSA I ain't a Mechanic, but I ain't afraid either. 2 and a 1/2 times book, usually works for me!

Not in the winter 😁

Glad I can help, the link to the exact kit should be in the video description but you will use 4 bottles total if you want good layers and multiple levels of adhesion otherwise it will peal on the gell coat but you must also lay down an 2k epoxy primer after you prep and then prep that as well

Not a AE, but 💯 agree!

The interesting thing about this kit is it's actually designed by a former AE machine fab shop known as Doyle Fabrication. It's my understanding that they made parts for the industry before forking into kit cars. So far I believe there are about 500 plus of these on the road and so far I have only heard of 4 accidents that were associated with speed, as well as a design flaw in the steering upright which has been corrected but definitely don't want to be the 5th incident. Once everything starts coming together more like I did with the T Bucket we will go back and do our own changes. But to your original point, will take a revisit to some of those you mentioned as it was a head scratcher for me also!

I'll try a small amount of carb cleaner and see
