Mustang Control Arm Restoration and Fabrication
In this episode, we restore the upper control arms and fabricate new lower control arms for my 1991 Ford Mustang project. This was actually my first fabrication project ever and I learned a lot. There's certainly room for improvement, but, overall, I think things turned out great and the pieces are definitely functional.

Ancient Blacksmith Hammer Restoration
Просмотров 23 тыс.4 года назад
I won't lie, I have a ton of old hammers laying around. Some are in great condition, while others, like this rusty blacksmith hammer, have seen better days. I started this restoration by removing the original, worn-out handle. After all these years, it was still secured pretty well and hand two metal wedges to make sure it wasn't going anywhere. Once removed, I proceeded to remove the rust with...
Rusty Old Ball Peen Hammer Restoration
Просмотров 55 тыс.4 года назад
I really need a small ball peen hammer. Luckily, I have a few old hammer heads laying around ready to be restored. This one was in particularly bad shape, but with a little elbow grease it turned out great. The restoration begins with cleaning and grinding to get down to bare metal and get rid of as much pitting as possible. Once complete, I finish sanded everything with a fine grit to make eve...
Ford 8.8 Differential Cover Restoration
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.4 года назад
As some may know, I'm in the process of restoring a 1991 Ford Mustang, and, since I'm trying to make some real power, it needs a 8.8 inch rear end to replace the stock 7.5 one. I was able to pick one up locally for around $200, but it was in need of a complete overhaul. The first part of the restoration is this severely rusty and greasy differential cover. The process begins with removing the o...
LS Valve Cover Restoration
Просмотров 7 тыс.4 года назад
I'm in the process of restoring a 1991 Ford Mustang and part of the plan is to do an LS swap. The junkyard engine I pulled, however, needs a little work as you can tell by the valve covers. The engine has an unknown amount of miles, but I think it's a lot since everything is absolutely covered by thick grease and grime. This restoration took quite a bit of elbow grease to get right. I started w...
Original Game Boy Restoration - I'm Shocked By How It Looks!
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.5 лет назад
Did you know that the original Game Boy was released 30 years ago this year? Are you feeling old yet? I've had this Game Boy for several years now and it's certainly seen better days. Although this isn't my typical restoration video, I wanted to restore it to its original state (or as close as possible) and enjoy some of the games I grew up with. The first thing I did was totally disassemble th...
Stubby Screwdriver Set Restoration
Просмотров 3,2 тыс.5 лет назад
I received this stubby screwdriver set from a friend and thought they were a perfect candidate for restoration. These screwdrivers were in pretty rough shape including the usual rust, pitting, and twisted tips. I started by removing the shaft and collets from the handle to assess the situation. The shaft and collets were cleaned up with the wire wheel before removing the paint from the handle a...
Epic Bench Vise Restoration
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.5 лет назад
Epic Bench Vise Restoration - This bench vise was left by the wayside a long time ago. But, it's still in fine working condition. In this video, I'll breathe new life back into this useful tool and will put it to some good use in the future. The process starts with disassembly and paint removal. Next, I'll clean everything up using various brushes, scrapers, and the bench grinder. After all the...
You do nice work
I would soak it in white vinegar overnight, then that rust just falls off. I’m doing my Jeep Wrangler covers next time I change my Diff fluid.
Nice restoration! I like the green!
Old things made new. For tools, for people.
Nay sayers are never beneficial and should always be ignored!
Good dealing filing casting marks! I hate when some guys skip it.
Hello, what types of wood did you use for the handle of your hammer? (especially the first?)
The first handle was pine and the second one was hickory.
@@cannoncolossus2449 thanks
If you are reading this, know that Jesus Christ loves you.
Hammer heads are were drop stamped forged not cast, and the shaft were made from Hickory. The factory i worked at age 15 (1958) produced Hammers, Picks, Shovels and Forks. I started work with my dad in welding and fabrication maintainance so got to see the manufacture of the above products. One day Dad gave me a hammer head and said take that to Doris in Wood Shop and ask her to shaft it for you. She foud the correct size shaft sanded it to fit, cut slot in top of shaft fitted head to shaft and then the wooden wedge,, sanded smooth then 2 small cast wedges transverse to the head, job done. That was Doris's job 66 years ago.
Very cool story! Thank you for sharing it. I am still a youngster at 68, but I enjoy the old time stories from fellas like you. Thanks again.
Beautiful. Is there a formula for determining the correct length of a hammer's handle, or do you go by feel?
Good question. Personally, I go by feel. You can also look at a hammer of similar weight and go off that.
What grits of paper did you use on the belt sander?
About 120 if I remember correctly.
Change the water in that scrub tub. Disgusting.
That’s not water. It’s a solvent made specifically for parts washers like this. The solvent is continuously filtered and that’s the color it is supposed to be.
The hammer looks great, but to be technical it was not a restoration but rather a reformation! That hammer never looked like that when it was new!!
Quite a bit of imperfections for putting in as much work as you did practice makes perfect
Nice work👍👍
Those are forging marks, not from casting. Great job.
Nice result, but completely pointless if you simply want a working hammer. There was nothing wrong with it. The head didn't come off without a struggle and the handle was sound.
😁👍🏼
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
I’m curious about the parts warsher (that’s the correct spelling, don’t @ me): I can see the advantages, but in terms of cost/ benefit or also setup/benefit: a bowl with some warm water, a cleaning agent of your choice and a good brush would do the trick, wouldn’t it?
That works fine. The benefit for me is that there’s no cleanup and a constant stream of powerful cleaner. When I’m done, I just close the lid, unplug it, and store it under my workbench.
Magnificent
How come that Control arms don't have rubber bushings. Looks like it has a ball joint and steel bolt sleeve. What is going to take up the movement, flex and vibration in those Control arms?
These control arms use a heim joint on one end and a solid sleeve at the other. The heim joint is fully articulating, so can accommodate any movement. The solid sleeve serves to locate the axle and provides no movement left or right, but does up and down. They’re made for straight line performance and stiffness. They provide zero dampening, so transmit a lot of noise and vibration. As a result, they would be uncomfortable on the street and would potentially damage the car overtime just from driving it on bumpy roads.
Restore like new❤
Disculpa, pero se nota mucho qué no tienes el conocimiento mínimo para utilizar las herramientas que posees. Tendrías que aprender a usarlas, para obtener un mayor provecho del trabajo, para no desgastar prematuramente tus herramientas, y por tu seguridad personal. Saludos! 🙋🏻♂️
nice restoration.
Amazing job! I love that you left the wood in it's natural state, unpainted. Boiled linseed oil, or paste wax is all wood needs in my opinion.
Мне интересно знать, зачем отверстие на молотке? Спасибо за видео.
You come to my channel talking about cheap Chinese garbage and you use a junk Chinese press to push out control arm bushing you are deplorable.
WONDERFUL, I have no words, always super perfect and unique precise product, wonderful work and video, well done and good luck, respect from old BG. p.. It is a great pleasure for me to see that there are such precise people in the world, and that of the White race!!!

Fantastic videography and transformation🙌, look forward to seeing more 👍😉cheers Rob
Nice work
Nice job well done 👏
Good job, Sir! 👍👍
Phenomenal job! That green looks great! Keep up the good work.
Hammer and handle were in good condition. No cracks, no burrs, almost perfect. My hammers all look like this. They are used. I am really someone who values clean and neat tools. This hammer should have been hanging in a tree for 10 years, or used properly. Then it is probably rusted and out of shape or the handle is broken. In my opinion a waste of time for this hammer. Just a little realistic opinion. A wire brush and some soapy water would have sufficed. ;)
Pay no attention to the naysayers who don't understand the satisfaction of bringing back an object to its new state. Sure, you can just put a handle on an old hammer and continue to use it, or you can chuck the hammer and buy a new one. But restoring an old one to "like new" is satisfying, and you learn things along the way. Bravo!
I agree.
Well said. This is one of my hobbies. I particularly like old hand tools with wooden handles. I am working on a small ball peen that looks very much like the one in this video.
Very nice. One of the best I've seen.
Very nice work! That must have been agonizing when the first handle split after all that rasping. Handles can be tricky. And they don't cost $2-$3 any more.
You have an odd way of handling shaping and grinding tools. Is that natural or an affectation for the camera? Doesn’t matter. Just odd. I don’t understand the purpose of these peening hammer “restorations”. Seems pointless to me. But, I watched your show anyway. Good luck with your videos. Replacing the handle is sometimes necessary. But other than that. What’s the point?
And there you have it: you watched it. That’s the point. I agree with you in principle: I would never take it to this so-called “better than new” point, I only ever restore things to usable condition, or maybe I change things I don’t like - but that just doesn’t make for an interesting video. Or it would be interesting to me, but not to most people.
For easy cleaning next time. Just get some heavy duty oven cleaner, spray it on, wait about 15 min, and then pressure wash off. No scrubbing. Works well on the engine block as well.
What did you use to clean it before primer?
I used acetone to remove all the oil.
Remove to much.
Wow that ball peen Hammer looks amazing green is my favorite color I own my grandfather's 32 oz vintage Fremont thing is built like a tank and don't make them like that no more I want to restore it but I like the charm the character it has if you restore it it loses it it's different if it's a old school you find a swap meet or something but if it is hand it down by family members sometimes you don't want to restore it you just want that nostalgic feeling you don't want to be afraid just want to use it but I do want to collectors want to hang in the wall play me some vintage plumb or something
I am working on a small ball peen that looks very much like the one in this video. There were specks of green paint still visible before I started, so I think it could be a Stanley tool.
@@Richard-mz7qu that's sweet I watch scout Crafter the restoration he does on tools is amazing no joke things look better than new and they are vintage tools
Tome o merecido like.
Отличная работа
Don't quit your day job!
Put your money where your mouth is.
@@cannoncolossus2449 LOL.... Hey softy, go back to watching "My Mechanic" to learn more, noob restore copy cat! LOL
@@podocrypto6072 I'm still waiting.
Is that a framing nail you knocked in the top?
Are you talking about the oval thing? They make circular hammer wedges, and I just put it in a vise and crimped it to make it more oval shaped.
@@cannoncolossus2449 oh! Thats what that is! Thank you for explaining. Im still not sure what the rounded bit does? I have a ball pein hammer and its apparently harder for use with chisels... but the rounded bit is.. A bit of a mystery to me
