Thanks Charlie, I try my best.

Thanks Anthony, great idea!

Definitely not everyone could do it but you would be surprised what you can learn and do with a cheap welder and some practice. It can be very satisfying.

Thanks Aaron, I will check it out. I appreciate the info.

Thanks Tim. I feel really good about finally moving forward and getting a spray gun in my hand once again.

Thanks Robert. Keep up the good work on that door and everything else, it will pay off huge for the next steps. You are doing really well on your build, feel good about that. Looking forward to more pics.

Thanks Ray. I am glad the prep is all done as I was getting burned out a little. It was worth it though that is for sure.

@@charlieseidelmann6702 Thank you Charlie, I will do my best

@@danielwoodard680 Thanks Daniel, I appreciate that.

Thanks I appreciate that.

Hi James. Here is a link to a video I did explaining some of your questions: ruclips.net/video/ZSeMjtuS2fw/видео.htmlsi=1vgO2JMYopl7xbVb DTM stand for direct to metal but it seems it has turned into a marketing gimmick. Yes it can be sprayed over bare steel but there are way better products out there and those are epoxy based. Epoxy is impervious to moisture where as some of these so called DTM products are not as good at moisture resistance and can absorb moisture. In this case since I had the product, it was the interior being sprayed and I intend on sealing it all up with a solid topcoat I went ahead and used it. DTM's are good for sand throughs and small bare steel areas when you are doing repairs usually so that is why they say DTM. Watch my video on it and let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you so much for the nice comment. We seem to adding more each month which is encouraging. I work hard at keeping it real and showing how it is really done but it is not as flashy and click worthy. Thank you for your support and help.

@@FoothillPaintandFabrication Your series on this car has been so beneficial to me as there are really not many other RUclips channels that go into the detail that you do. I have learned so much from watching you and the progress you have made on the car. It doesn't need to be flashy to be educational. I watch RUclips to learn, and I've learned a lot over the years. I need to get the Certified RUclips University Mechanic shirt one of these days.

@@danaszalajeski4416 Thank you for such a wonderful comment, I do appreciate it. This is why I started the channel to help other car guys/gals achieve their dreams. I am happy I have been of some help to you and stay tuned as there is a lot more to come.

Thanks Matt. It is satisfying to see the car get sprayed since I have been at the prep so long. The little hun that could did so well I will be using that set up again for sure. The GoPro thanks you but it needs a good cleaning for sure.

Thanks and I hear you on the dirt and rust. Luckily the rotisserie helps get most of it out. I thought I was all done and then spent 2 hours doing the drip check rails for the fourth time...

Thanks Doug, The Cannon is pretty beat up and the lens has a few welding sparks marks on it but seems to keep going. The GoPro has had a lot of paint, clear and primers cleaned off of it and needs it once again.

Thanks, it went pretty fast but not 17 minutes. That little gun put out more volume than I could have hoped for.

Thanks. Back in the day that was my door jamb gun and served me well for many years. Get yours out and give it a try, they work awesome!

Thanks Dave. So much paint went through that old gun back in the day and now I just sprayed 5 quarts through it all at once. I just checked and they are 60 bucks now but look exactly the same.

Thanks Don. Great news on the progress. Looking forward to getting some update pics from you.

Thanks. I am blessed living in a dry climate but most of it comes from when the car was stripped. Once it was dipped to remove the paint it was then dipped to remove any rust and also treat the bare steel. They dip it in phosphoric acid which inhibits the flash rusting somehow. You can buy phosphoric wipes which I have had a lot of luck with as well. Here is a link to some from Summit but you should be able to buy them at your local automotive paint store. www.summitracing.com/parts/rlp-5003?seid=srese1&ppckw=pmax-paints-and-finishing&gclid=CjwKCAjw6c63BhAiEiwAF0EH1EPBv_mtKTwJrTK6e0Z0a757PPQ7ymzAUWBEJdSrc45xh0MbdiuJMhoCPcAQAvD_BwE

The bearing on the input shaft was not a press fit so once the nut is removed a few light taps and it slid back and came off. I have done a few Muncies and the input shaft bearing was never on so tight I couldn't get it off without using a press. Is yours not budging?

@@FoothillPaintandFabrication I'm working on a Richmond Super T10 similar but different hoping not to pull the thing apart just to get the bearing off. I'll give it a try like you suggest and hope for the best. Thank you for responding!

I ended up getting a bearing puller on it and got it off, very likely it's original so it was stuck on tight.

@@uletek Time has a way of doing that doesn't it? Glad you got it off.

Thanks Matt, I am pretty much over this stuff and could use something else for a while. Getting a little burned out you know.

@FoothillPaintandFabrication Yes , I know exactly what you mean! I have taken many breaks from the Buick. Go to the lake or work around the farm. Give your brain something else to chew on. They're labors of love, but they are also hard work! Hope you can find a nice distraction.

@@mattsteffee Great advice Matt, thanks My distraction lately is a total gut of my sisters kitchen. Almost done so that will be nice. Once Ruby is in Epoxy I can take my foot off the gas a little.

@@FoothillPaintandFabrication Deconstruction can be very theraputic.

@@mattsteffee Yes it is. Thanks

Thanks Jake and welcome to the channel. Mark

Thank you Anthony

HI and welcome to the channel. Is it a convertible? What year Caprice? Generally you want to do some bracing and replace the floor pans with the car off the frame so you can do a better job. Let me know the year and model and we can go from there. Is the rest of the car pretty sound? Will it be on a rotisserie or just stands?

Thanks Chris. Christmas is just around the corner so maybe if you start dropping hints right now.... That thing worked better than I had hoped. It works pretty well stripping paint too but you have to watch your heat input into the panel so you don't warp anything.

Thanks, she sure looks pretty all clean and prepped. This is a first for me.

Thanks David. There has been 66 videos so a lot of steps so far but we are making good progress and it should speed up a little once we get over this hurdle. I appreciate the nice comment and encouragement.

Thanks Robert. That conditioning tool works great doesn't it? The DA was just to make me feel better and did help get some spots nothing else would. I will be applying seam sealer after the epoxy and DTM even though many say you can apply them to bare steel. I will be using 3M Urethane seam sealer on most of the car. If I were you I would use urethane as well. The old school solvent based sealers just don't compare to the urethane ones. The urethane sealers cure in the presence of moisture so you are covered there 😁

Hi Steve. I live in California in the foothills as you may have guessed. I will definitely show footage of Ruby on the road and at car shows and with other cars I have painted or built. We are a little bit away from that though. I will do a short about me on a video on of these weeks so you all know a little more about me. Dave is a car guy as well. We used to work together so that is how I know him. He has a 1950 Willy's Station Wagon he built over 7 years and is now working on a 1929 Model A. He lives just a few minutes from me and we help each other out all the time, go fishing together, drink beers and hang out too. He is very skilled and creative.

Thanks Doug. Very soon indeed! I can't leave Ruby exposed any longer. Super nice weather here lately, did you take advantage of any of it?

Vinegar does work but it also eats the base material where this solution stops when the rust is gone.

Thanks Charlie, yes it is a 5/8"-11 thread standard arbor size for a sander/polisher. Google high speed wire wheels and you should find what you need. Make sure they are high speed or they will just end up spitting wires all over the place. Boy I am not sure hour many hours since I kept stopping to make another repair then back at it. If I had to guess I would say 10 hours on the inside total as there was stuff to deal with along the way. Straighten this, smooth out that or add this. I cleaned as I went as well trying to vacuum up as I went so when I rotated the car all that junk wouldn't slide down into some crack and not come out.

Hi Ryan and thanks. Yes you can easily swap the cross over line from the back to the front and put your pressure in and regulator out in the back. The Edelbrock regulator works well but may pose a space problem at the back of the fuel rail. A remote regulator would work just as well too. The larger return line is a good idea. I had a problem with a 67 Chevelle I installed this system on because the vibration dampener had shifted over all those years so the timing mark was way off so when I set the ignition timing to 12 degrees before top dead center it was very retarded badly. So bad that the exhaust manifolds ran cherry red at idle. Ended up cooking a brand new set of plug wires before I figured out what the problem was. If you are running your original dampener confirm the timing mark has not moved. Good luck on your build and let me know if you have any questions.

@@FoothillPaintandFabrication thanks for the advice. The install doesn’t seem as daunting after your video. I still have a ways to go to get started on the install though. Got to get the frame painted and the body back on first

@@roym.9875 I agree completely. I am getting a ton of use out of mine on the GTO build. It definitely is a great investment in quality on any build.

@@balisticsquirel Thanks, I appreciate your concern for my well being. Gloves for sure from now on.

@@kevinrenville4030 Hi Kevin, at the end of the video I figured the cost including everything I had except the casters and it came in at about 700 bucks. Interesting enough that was about the cost to ship one to me so even at 700 we still came out pretty well.
