    You may be underestimating how entertaining AND therapeutic the '58 Apache project is to a lot of your fans. A fair number of us feel better about our projects as we see you deal with the similar frustrations on yours. You have a real knack for making your projects fun to watch, just like your intro states! Thank you!

    That rat cracked me up...I saw that the other day on Channel 2. He looked like a shoplifter making a break for it and running face first into the glass security doors at the mall. Save that clip, Puddin. 😂 I'd add it to the channel opening.

      A '58 GMC just became available, but I can't afford a stick of gum right now. Of course, the five years that I spent harassing the owner, he didn't want to sell.
      Timing can be brutal.
      Oh well, congrats on your project!

    Good for you wearing a respirator when messing with those brakes. I lost my father 30 years ago from lung cancer and asbestosis. In Virginia they required vehicle inspections and he did them for 36 years before he passed in 1994. It's nothing to ignore or dismiss. Keep safe.

    This episode is a keeper! I also have a '58 Apache with the BIG rear window. She's in pretty rough shape, but a workable roller. No engine or tranny, would like to pop a 260 or 290 inline 6 in her with a 4-speed. The rest is just tin work and hammer-and-dolly action. Your rig is just cherry, and the gentleman will have a truck he can be proud of thanks to you. Cheers!

  • @handyhippie6548

    asbestos is why you use brake clean instead of compressed air to clean the dust out of them. i remember the tech in the bay next to me cussin' me out for using an air hose on the first brake job i did, at the first garage i worked at in high school. i always used an airhose at home on the farm when i worked on brakes as a kid, so i didn't think much of it. i'll be 57 in a couple weeks, and ain't died of asbestosis yet.

    Dear Puddin, Perhaps the most valuable lesson that i learned as a recovering Christian is NEVER EVER EVER pray for patience. My pastor taught me "If you pray for patience you will get TRIALS". Yep. More reasons to be patient. Also do not allow others to pray for you to be more patient. I believe that praying for another to be patient is an act of violence. Ponder that. On a happier note please know that my entire family loves and adores every minute of your content. Thank you for all that you do to entertain us. I wish you all maximum prosperity and perfect health.

'40's and earlier GM door panels etc. Glad to see you with a mask on while blowin' the asbestos dust from the brakes. One of my many sins from the '60's on.
