This has been a fantastic series. David is such a likeable guy and so talented. His endless devotion to going the extra mile is so amazing. The paint looks great and those rock rails are flipping tremendous. Great job gentlemen! Can't wait for next video.
Next time try tack welding on the screws, that way you can just knock them off and do some light grinding to smooth it out. Much better than drilling into the body and using a dent puller.
@Mr. Labreck Also if there is a extreme crease like that make sure to put the screws just on the crease as it will follow it and all come out. Also if you have the money invest in a porta spot stud gun. Best investment you will make if you have a lot of dents to remove
@rumpleforeskin73 Yes i agree 100% put dentless paint repair is a art that takes a lot of time to learn its not like being able to pull out a dent and bondo it. plus if you hire someone it can be upwards of 700 dollars just for a big dent in the side of a truck you can buy a new door and paint it for that
Key word is "better" as good is a no dents and feathered plus cut and buff... that I have a feeling will come with time. It is like looking into the past and going into the future at the same time. A real nice job..
TFLclassics Is my favorite! Kase Is the man! I really like all the fabrication and DIY stuff that you guys started doing once he came on board. Kase and Tommy great team and great video! Looking forward to more...
@@Boringunguy even single stage paint needs buffed after application. There's always orange peel after curing- so yes you would buff the paint to produce a finished shine.
@@mattshansen9814 yes it will 😂 If the paint surface is uneven from application and curing (which is always the case), then buffing it will smooth out the paint. Smooth paint (both 2 stage and single) reflects lights better than bumpy/uneven paint. Better light reflection results in a better shine. So yes, single stage WILL definitely look better buffed.
Nice video and lots of useful information. I have a 92 Ford truck that I got a few years ago. When I got my kayak cord caught in the tailgate, I found out by accident that those tailgates come off very easily!
I watched the initial video where they "revealed" this truck along side the F-150. I had no idea they were doing the truck as a donation for charity. Seeing their work effort using their skills, talent and sweat equity to meet a need sold me on the whole TFL gang for life. What an amazing little series. Most favorite part of this one was the "rock rails"...that was just cool! I wish I could by this truck for that auction.
You’re doing a great job that truck went from a pos to respectable to drive. Keep it up and I’m sure you will get a lot of money for your charity. TFL Keep doing what you are doing.
I stumbled on this channel and its been nothing but wholesome guys working towards a good cause. I hope I can get my finances in order when this goes for auction! What a great series.
Wow. Great turnout! Those rails look amazing and I liked the whole background story of where they came from! Great truck, excellent job and good to know that you guys are restoring and auctioning it off to support a good cause! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼😊
You have to drill multiple holes like that for a dent that size. Just make sure to wed them up and grind flat, treat the inside of the door with corrosion protection to prevent rust! Y’all did good for beginners!!
Boy, this brings back memories. I had an 88 F250 in high school with the exact same de-lamination and exact same rust spots. Being in high school, I did my own body work and had it repainted (then I lifted it:) and it looked brand new.
Wow, I love this series! Might be tempted to throw a bid in on it for my girlfriend. We both love this body style of Ford! Love the rock sliders too! They are so unique and cool looking!
Honestly, when I first saw that spray primer can, I was worried you guys would use spray paint for the whole project. Things got serious quick though and this thing turned out great. Seriously, well done y'all. 👍👍👍👍
Buddy Holly shitbox build😂 Seriously though this is awesome! I love watching old ford builds, but knowing this one is being built for such a good cause really warms my heart. It's always good to know there's good people left in the world!
@@TFLclassics If indeed it's acrylic enamel (aka "single stage") then my only criticism is that it needed ta be laid on heavier. Similar ta when applyin' clearcoat/topcoat, ya gotta go for the "wet look" as I & others call it...lay it on heavy...but yet not ta the point that it starts ta sag &/or run...it's a fine line though & most people tend ta opt ta go a bit too light when sprayin' because they're worried about it saggin' or runnin' (which it definitely can & will if it's laid on *too* heavy of course).
@shumpie41 I'm not sure if you can wet sand and buff metallic paint. I tried it once and ended up re painting the entire truck. The guy at PPG said you could but I had different results.
@@jimmotormedic your right not a good idea to sand or buff single stage paint. Lay down the paint the way you want to look and leave it alone and it will last for years.
I too love Popeye's Chicken Tommy, especially their Cajun fries and biscuits. Anyhow, the transformation of project Gun Smoke, wow so awesome, and I absolutely love the cause. Stellar job David, Tommy, and Kase 🙂.
dont worry about putting badges on it keep the clean look going, it looks great! but yea a set of 33's and a decent off road front bumper will really set that truck off!
This has been a fantastic series. David is such a likeable guy and so talented. His endless devotion to going the extra mile is so amazing. The paint looks great and those rock rails are flipping tremendous. Great job gentlemen! Can't wait for next video.
The world needs more people like him. The world would be a much better place...
I guess you could say he went the extra step
$79! Ouch! My harbor freight stud welder with slide hammer was only $90
God bless that man, he is donating not only his truck but his time and home to help friends and a good cause.
I love how he just built those steps out of scrap metal he had lying around. This is the kind of stuff I want to do once I have a house haha
You figure the house will come with a scrap metal pile...?
Go Aggies!
Lexington & Concord Gig Em’ 👍🏻
Buckhorn Cortez depending on the house you buy, it might 😂
I do this cause im poor and I love it more the buying stuff
I really enjoy this build series with David. You should keep him around for other projects.
Truck looks great - but those rock rails are incredible
Right let's see it off road tested now 💪
Is there anyone cooler than David? That guy is awesome!
I love all of Tommy’s videos. He is my favorite TFL host by far!!! Sorry Roman, but you did raise an awesome son!
Yeah, he just seems to really be growing into the job nicely.
He doesn't suffer from the "old man" syndrome you get from Roman. Thank god

@@thegamingchanel100 As someone who used this same dent puller they did on _my_ truck, I must agree that a stud gun would be the way to go.
@Mr. Labreck Great advice I wish I had when I did exactly what these guys did lol

I used that kind of tool in 1981. Never again.
David is such an over the top generous person. It's amazing how much he cares. I wish we had more people like him.
@@mattshansen9814 What "downfall of this series?" And what part are you disagreeing with? That he's a nice guy or we need more people like him?
Roll some bed liner in and coat the rock rails with it also!
Keep up the good work. This is good content, turning into one of the best TFL series.
I really love the work of the children’s home. Great project!
Awesome job. Nice to see some real world affordable stuff you can do in the ole barn anywhere.
when the truck rolls out, you can feel it like a second rebirth
David is a true gentleman and craftsman. Great series.

I like the colour! Good job boys
your new friend david is awesome. everyone needs a friend like that
God Bless you guys for helping those in need through giving willing Charity!!!!
The truck looking amazing keep up the good work!!!
most realistic painting I've seen of a truck/car! Great video!!
Pleeaasseee tell me you're going to buff that truck out after the paint has cured. Will look 100x better.
I second this. You'll get that mirror-like shine you're looking for.
Needs a buff in a bad way! Would make a night and day difference
You going to buff the paint? There’s no clearcoat

What y’all did with this truck is awesome so far !!!👍👍👍👍
Great project for a great cause. I hope TFL will continue to produce DIY videos with David. He is absolutely amazing.
Nice video and lots of useful information. I have a 92 Ford truck that I got a few years ago. When I got my kayak cord caught in the tailgate, I found out by accident that those tailgates come off very easily!
David did an awesome job on those side steps....
The world needs more people like David in it. Great job guys, truck looks great!
Those rails/steps look better and more robust than aftermarket. I'm already starting to want this truck.
Really great series. Nice to see TFL crew turning those wrenches. Perfect project to learn these skills on.
I applaud you for keeping the 87-91 front end. Almost everyone that restores those years right away change it to a 92-96 front end.
I watched the initial video where they "revealed" this truck along side the F-150. I had no idea they were doing the truck as a donation for charity. Seeing their work effort using their skills, talent and sweat equity to meet a need sold me on the whole TFL gang for life. What an amazing little series.

Thanks guys, for the motivation! I got some work to do on my 96’ F250.
Great job guys, paint looks good. Can’t wait to see the truck rolling down the road.
You’re doing a great job that truck went from a pos to respectable to drive. Keep it up and I’m sure you will get a lot of money for your charity. TFL Keep doing what you are doing.
Love the rebuild series so far and the paint job and rock rails / steps looks great!
The truck is looking great now. I would happily drive it anywhere.
I stumbled on this channel and its been nothing but wholesome guys working towards a good cause. I hope I can get my finances in order when this goes for auction! What a great series.
If you sand the headlights and taillights with 1000grit sandpaper and then spray them with 1k clear coat they will look better than new!
Just did this to mine. Can confirm
I LOVE videos of restoration of trucks!!! ❤️
Dang that looks amazing! I'm looking at a 96 F-150 project so I might be doing some of this.
Serious props to you guys for doing this for the charity. The world needs people like you. Thank you guys @TFLclassics! God bless!
Wow. Great turnout! Those rails look amazing and I liked the whole background story of where they came from! Great truck, excellent job and good to know that you guys are restoring and auctioning it off to support a good cause! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼😊
Spray the inner wheel wells with Bedliner when you do it. Great durable coating and it adds to the lines of the vehicle when the wheel wells are dark.
Those sidesteps are fabulous!
Throughout my childhood my dad had 3 of these bricknose Fords. Now I'm in the process of restoring one of my own
david is such a genuine guy.

Nice paint job Kase. The hummingbird is always eating. Awesome step rails David a little WW2 in them is cool. Nice job guys.
The truck looks great 👍
Wow paint looks awesome! That’s the exact color I want on my jeep
I need a garage that big! Those rock rails are unbelievable!
David is a legend.
He is so talented and so thoughtful, he is a very likeable fellow.
God bless you David, you are a legend.

Ummm, why no clearcoat?
Definitely needs a good buffing, but way better than the flaking clear that was on there before.
Wow, I love this series! Might be tempted to throw a bid in on it for my girlfriend. We both love this body style of Ford! Love the rock sliders too! They are so unique and cool looking!
Great paint job, and those rock fenders are beautiful.
Holy gunsmoke! That paint came out pretty good. I had to build my own rock sliders too very nice
What a great job!👍🏼
These are great videos! Have y’all changed all the fluids, like in the diffs? Keep ‘em coming.
David us a great skilled guy
The truck looks great but the side steps with the WW 2 runway material is really cool. What a great addition.
Wow!! That truck looks GREAT!!!
Those Frame Rails are beyond Awesome!!! 15:15
Nice job y'all, truck is coming along nicely. Love Tommy's shirt btw. Keep up the great work y'all
really enjoyed this series. dave is a true fab artist and mentor. thank you
Beautiful! Beautiful truck color and cause.
2:09 a proper tack weld dent puller is better especially on pointy corners and keeping it from have a hole in it
Kudo’s to David! What a guy! All the kids will Thank You!
Incredible job guys. Phenomenal work. That charity looks to be something else too. Amazing.
Mountain States sounds like a great cause, well done guys!
Absolutely love these old trucks, great series, great show 👍
Honestly, when I first saw that spray primer can, I was worried you guys would use spray paint for the whole project. Things got serious quick though and this thing turned out great. Seriously, well done y'all. 👍👍👍👍
Truck looks good. Can that man be apart of the tfl crew fulltime. He does amazing work.

Love IDI's!! It needs dual exaust w/ straights. They sound so cool. Todd the retired trucker.
I would love those Rock Rails.
My grandfather built runways in the Pacific in WW2.
He was part of the Seabees.
The steps are dope.
Awesome job guys! Love the color of that classic f150. One day I’m going to paint my 93 in a 2 tone black and gray scheme.
Older gentleman is very nice and knowledgeable
Good job guys but your supposed to put multi clear coats on it. That isn’t a single stage paint. It’s going to go bad very fast without the clear.
I'll triple check with David and Kase but we bought single stage paint on purpose for this project! -Tommy

Tarps & tea cup hooks make a garage into a paint booth well. 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸 those rock rails are awesome. 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
@3:25 “it’s a hole lot better then it was” punny!
Looks awesome guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up just down the road from MSCH. In fact my family friend who was my horse trainer owned that property before it was MSCH.
I too love Popeye's Chicken Tommy, especially their Cajun fries and biscuits. Anyhow, the transformation of project Gun Smoke, wow so awesome, and I absolutely love the cause. Stellar job David, Tommy, and Kase 🙂.
So effing cool. Just a good honest truck.
Awesome series guys!
dont worry about putting badges on it keep the clean look going, it looks great! but yea a set of 33's and a decent off road front bumper will really set that truck off!
That is a wonderful organization
Turned out great
Wow that is awesome you are donating that truck for the kids
The best way to learn, get an old truck and just start working on it. Is it perfect, no, but you learned, and the next one will be better.
Nice job, looks pretty nice.
Some plastic polish from Meguiar's will help with those taillights, just like you guys did with the headlamps
Wet sand and polish now. 👌🏼
That is totally amazing good job guys
Using that old piece of the bed was clever
Wow David is awesome
