    I checked this out, thinking I might need it, but ultimately did not. I applied a lot of penetrating lubricant to the bolts before starting the job, including shooting it through the little hole in the frame, and very gradually took out the bolts using a breaker bar, occasionally going in a bit, then out more.

    After watching several videos of shop air set up and proper air compressor usage/maintenance I’m sold on your method of cooling the air before going into the air tank. I remember growing up how much water our compressor would accumulate. And it was always rusty, so we knew our tank was dirty. I think the only two things I’m going to different is add a desiccant air filter coming out of the copper cooling lines prior to entering the tank (for just more added extraction) and my lines will be simple so using copper throughout wont be too cost prohibitive. Thanks for the great ideas.

    • @3rdstallgarage
      @3rdstallgarage 15 дней назад

      One person suggested, and I think I might try it, to have the air go through my copper tubing the other direction. That would help the air flow push the water down. I think that might be the one thing I would try differently.

    You will remove more moisture if you put the regulator before you dryer. When the air drops pressure it expands and gets colder and can't hold as much moisture so that is when it starts to come out on its own so there will be less for the beads to have to suck out of the air. All systems for sale as a kit are set up that way for that reason.

  • @Paul-fe4vl
    @Paul-fe4vl Месяц назад

    The way you had it first was backwards in the sense of thermal dynamics. Run the hot air into the top of the coil so the coil can cool down as the air goes downward. You don't want the hottest on the bottom so that heat given off rises to the pipes above it. It will cool better with hot on top and cooler on the bottom. Plus the air will push any condensed water toward the drain tee near the bottom and not carry the moisture up toward the top. I used to teach HVAC and both air and hydronic systems balancing along with thermal dynamics, so I have some experience in that field after 46 years.

  • @dougbadham3642
    @dougbadham3642 Месяц назад

    You did a great job exposing the challenges of most conventional Weld-Thru. Most W/T manufacturers use zinc or copper in their products for two reasons. 1. For conductivity. 2 They actually want it to be a sacrificial coating. They want moisture to attack the zinc or copper prior to rusting or corroding the substrate ie metal. The challenge is most of the product burns off around the weld joint during the welding process as seen in your video; Leving the weld joint itself unprotected and vulnerable to immediate corrosion. Once corrosion sets in on the weld joint it creeps out (creep corrosion) onto the rest of the joint eating away the zinc or copper W/T. To date the best product I have used is from Like90 ( part# 10011) . It is a thin film resin based product that contains a corrosion inhibitor. When welding this product the resin liquifies, as it cools it pulls back around the weld joint. To insure complete encapsulation of the weld joint they (Like90) recommends the use of a secondary product Like90 Dry Film ( # 10012). This product is again a resin based product that will wick into the weld joint fully encapsulating the weld joint and any burn back that may occurred. Because the weld joint and burn back are now protected as well as there are no sacrificial corrosive elements included you are left with a premium weld joint.

    if you can find some at local scrap yard etc, get sole copper hot water baseboard sections as it has aluminum cooling fins on it. its a thinner copper though so care in handling , cutting it and soldering it is something to be aware of a guy told us .

  • @goombagsp

    Glad to see this system, especially the cooling arrangement between the pump head and the tank. Good call on the drop ear fittings and the 3/4" pex. You've convinced me to do the same. The leaking you experienced on the soft copper pipe is because compression ring fittings are not suitable for soft copper pipe - at any pressure. Flare fittings will work, no JB Weld required. If the JB fails going forward, you might want to consider swap out those compression ring fittings for flared fittings. No sweating required, no additional union couplings. You will need a flaring tool for the copper.

    On my 66 the "piller brace" installation looked as bad or worse than yours and I'm 100% sure they where factory installation. Had the Body shop add a bunch of welds per the 1966 weld and assembly manual. Reinforced a lot of areas using that manual. A large percent of the reworked areas where factory original. Ford was turning out Mustangs as fast as possible. Quality only counted on what would be seen on the showroom floor. Quality assembly was NEVER a priority on early Mustangs. They are well known for being poorly constructed right out of factory. Guess it wasn't to bad, 6o years later we are still driving them. They are not known as Ruststanges for nothing. They earned the reputation.

    Thanks for this very helpful video. I would add a few notes: (1) Regarding the plastic rivet thing that holds the dipstick tube to the oil filter housing, make sure when you put the new filter housing in place that the ear on the housing is *under* the ear on the tube. The holes in the ears will not align if you reverse this. Don’t ask me how I know this 🤬 There is a video on the Josh’s Jettas channel that covers this job, and he includes a shot of the plastic rivet before it is removed ; it shows the proper orientation. (2) If I was doing this again, after removing the fans I would cut a piece of Masonite or thin plywood to the same approximate size and mount it over the radiator to protect it from being gouged when the intercooler is being removed and replaced. (3) If you don’t already have a set of the special pliers that are designed for the hose clamps VW uses, buy them before you start this job.

    The only thing I gotta say to people that are rebuilding vintage campers is if you have a camper that has aluminum sided and rough make sure that when you’re replacing stuff, make sure you replace it with non-steel screws because when steel screws rust when they’re used on aluminum, it actually interacted with the aluminum and makes the aluminum fall apart like you wouldif it was heated really hot

    • @3rdstallgarage

      That's true. It doesn't happen really quickly, but the two metals interact over time. The factorys did use a lot of steel screws and they lasted 50+ years, but stainless or having a layer of something between them is helpful.

    boy, as a builder i'm very used to the pluses and minuses of I-joists. Love your idea, but i would strongly encourage you to hire a structural engineer to pay you a visit. This won't be super expensive, and it will be peanuts if you have any structural failure , or heaven forbid an injury. They would probably address three things : 1/the alum beam itself (capacity), 2/ fasteners (bet it won't be grk's ), and then the I-joists. Posts below mention this, but they are designed for specific loading and load direction. Might be the best money you end up spending on this project.

    hello again! I love your videos!! In the video you comment that it is very easy to remove curvature from the hood... how do you do it?? In mine I have this problem, the front is perfect, the back is also, but in the measured one I have a curvature that I don't know how to adjust.❤

    • @3rdstallgarage
      @3rdstallgarage 3 месяца назад

      The side curve of the hood is adjustable. My understanding is that the top layer of the hood wraps around the side and pinches the under structure but is not welded. This allows the top layer to slide relative to the under layer that it pinches. I hope that makes sense. By flexing or bending the hood in the way that you want it to curve, the two layers of metal will slide relative to each other and stay in the new position. For example, if your hood is too flat, then put a couple layers of wood in the middle of the side edge and carefully lower the hood and press on the front edge of it. As you press the front edge of the hood down, the wood will push up in the middle and the hinge will hold the back down. You can force the hood into more of a curved arc. You will need to over flex it until it bounces back to the right shape you want. If your hood is too curved, then put the wood in the front edge and push down in the middle. There are probably other videos around of people doing this too. Good luck!
