Nothing better, more satisfying than to watch Daryl take a rusty old part and bring it back to life, better than bought because it's original. Thank you Kurt and Oz Armour for the hours and hours of interesting, pleasurable, informative videos you lads produce, loads of thanks!
this video was so cool. Who would have thought seeing a dash board being brought back to life would be this interesting and then the neat bit about finding the stamped letters in the dash for what the bits ment. I am looking forward to the next one and seeing how the wiring goes.
Once again some lovely work bringing a piece of scrap back to life. Just one gentle observation: Just a shame those original panel marking Daryl unearthed under all that paint were not picked out after paint. Maybe impossible but that is SO original.
I just started watching these videos and am thoroughly enjoying them. No overbearing background music, just the sounds of the shop and dedicated persons performing restoration tasks. Well done!
If I'd been a factory worker building this vehicle back in the '40's I'd have been both astonished and proud to know that someone yet to be born was restoring my work - Brilliant stuff.
Great restore job Daryl. The stamped indicator lettering would have had black paint wiped in to make them show up. All American parts were part number stamped and a lot had batch and Mfg marks the same as the Germans did. This vehicle is coming along great mates.
Kurt 70 years ago, when farmers brought these machines, they were looking for a reliable means of transporting farm equipment, stock food, using a vehicle with reliable means (the tractors of today were not even being thought of then), so when they "stripped out systems/parts, they considered unnecessary" - if you had told them then, hang onto it, it maybe useful some day, they would have thought of you ""as mad". Restoration of former WW2 Military equipment in the 1950's plus was not even considered. I live in NZ and the Military vehicles & aircraft that have been found in storage sheds, in reasonable condition has been amazing. That is when re -establishment to functioning entity was considered. I have said this before, those who originally created and built your Military Vehicles would be amazed at the effort, the staff at your place of employment, take to restore them, even to a functioning & moving machine.
I could watch Ryan wire up that panel and be glued to the screen the entire time if it was published haha The entire crew there are excellent mechanics and machinists but on top of that they are artists in what they do!
Watching the attention to detail, and the fun discoveries while our collective histories are restored and preserved is just so enjoyable. The work that the gentleman do at the work shop provide such a view into the past it's incredible. Keep up the good work. Well done.
It should hoot with a couple of small block Chev's under the hood. Love the dash refurbishment, looks like something you'd find in an old school touring car!.
That was impressive, and all in only 20 minutes.! The music towards the end was a nice touch, it added to the sense of bringing a part of the interior back from the past.
Grandpa was a retired Tool and Die maker, his hobby was building old Model T and A Fords from parts. This video really brings back memories of watching him work. Thanks so much.
You popped up in my feed so took a gander, thank you for saving the old US tanks. Got to love how interchangeable the yank's built everything. Watched a British tank shop and they commented the brit tanks are more of a repeated one off as none of the bolt patterns are the same between tanks. Were as you can chop an American tank Sherman in half put the turret ring on the two halves and weld it together. Then bolt everything back on
all the fun and games of working on instrument panels, particularly those in aircraft where you have multiple gauges and switches, and so many variations of fittings, and those that are easy to work on and those you want to save but have to sacrifice, i took a year to restore a Phantom II, and had to replicate some bits including the pilots handgrip, and now i have four genuine made by Bendix of USA its one of the many things i consider when working on these as well, that someone designed all this, different companies had to create the parts, someone fitted them, and they may only have a short service, and then the history continues when i jump in the cockpit to restore it all (incidentally, any one wanting genuine Bendix switches, that's the old style metal toggle switch, i have a reasonable stock of them for less than you pay on eBay, 2way and 3way loving the vids, great content as always
G’day and greetings from Tasmania I really look forward to my dose of fabrication and workshop building, it’s terrific how the blokes restore these machines in what would be heavy work, great channel would never miss it look after yourselves regards John
Always enjoy the videos, I know you've changed the engine, it's a pity you couldn't use the old gauges and highlight the original dashboard markings/ lettering.
Nothing makes Wednesdays better, than a workshop Wednesday! :D
these are the only reason i look forward to wednesday
Same kinda
Same 😂
Sounds disappointing to me... I think these are the best reason for me to look forward to Wednesday
What a transformation but so true to the original. Daryl is a master of his craft. A pure joy to watch him work.

Damn Kurt you're getting to be a master of making us hang for the next episode.
I don't know if I have told you, but I love Workshop Wednesday, Cheers
Is there anything Daryl cannot identify, rewire, weld, fabricate, etc..., ? The man is an absolute wizard.
this video was so cool. Who would have thought seeing a dash board being brought back to life would be this interesting and then the neat bit about finding the stamped letters in the dash for what the bits ment. I am looking forward to the next one and seeing how the wiring goes.
Another awesome video! I take my hat off to Darryl’s skill at recovering bent sheet metal, he’s a wizard!
Why can't the videos be longer?

4:47 we all love your work Darryl; we could watch it all day!

Another step closer to getting the beast rolling, love watching Daryl's work

Best thing about Wednesday morning !!! another great show.....watching from Scotland 😃

That bracket repair was really good👍
Great work Daryl! Henry Ford had Ford stamped on every part they made!!
Good on ya, Darryl, amazing work!
I could watch this all day. Well done
I really like the music towards the end of the video Kirt. Great job! And excellent fix on the mounting bracket Darrell.
I could watch Ryan wire up that panel and be glued to the screen the entire time if it was published haha The entire crew there are excellent mechanics and machinists but on top of that they are artists in what they do!
Another great episode. Thanks and thank goodness expert Kurt is there to sort out the tricky bits. 😆
Thanks. My Wednesday is officially off to a good start and it is always great to see
good craftsmanship.
Beautiful work Darryl
6 holes that all lined up first time. Daryl is a magician apparently!
Stunning work again! Always looking forward to Wednesday!
I am glued to this sight every weds. Because you guys do such a great job on the resto
I looked the museum up on Google Earth and it was interesting to see the large scale of it and the beautiful green countryside and town.
Waking up to a workshop Wednesday is always a treat. Thanks for sharing this with us. Cheers!
Fantastic job on the dashboard restoration by Darryl, I really enjoy watching the progress on the Grant.
Thanks for the video and thanks for all the work you all do to preserve the military history 👍🇦🇺
Fantastic guys, another half hour of fun to watch!
Great things happen on Wednesday mornings with a fresh cup of coffee and a new episode. Definitely makes me like hump day!
Wow. From a hunk of junk to useful equipment. You guys work wonders...!
Don't know about everyone else. A garden shed the size of the tardis and walk in and all that kit . I'd be happy man indeed.
It's so relaxing to watch workshop wednesday after a busy day at work. :)
Love your work 👍
Nice work Daryl, and another nice edit, Kurt. Look forward to the next one, as ever.
im so happy i found this channel, it seriously scratches a child hood itch.
Thank you for saving Wednesday! Really can't wait to see this one finished and rolling again 👍🏻
Brilliant as always, thanks 👍🏻🇦🇺
Great job guys! Keep them coming.
It's coming to life for sure.
The music seemed very appropriate, dare I say, great editing Curt.

Love a nice panel job! Great work, fellas!
Nice to see folks fixing things instead of replacing with new...

A great way to finish off Wednesday.

You brought that panel a long way back . It looks very good
Daryl the Maestro!
LOve Darryl's chatter as he works:.."That rubber is in good nick"

Great job by Daryl on the restoration of the dash panel. Shame you couldn't use original gauges etc. Enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing.
just woke up, saw this video and now my day is already good
Hahaha Daryl ....a tale of two dashboards....brilliant mate
Lets get to 100k 👍
You guys are restoring our (USA) history as well, it just occurred to me. Thank God it's being done by folks who know what they are doing.
That was Kool after he stripped it down you could see what went where😮Awesome Work!!! Thank You all So Much
The craftsmanship is wonderful and SOOOOO enjoyable to watch. Thank you. USA
Daryl's works great..as is all of the team! The combined efforts going to be awesome to watch this old girl return to life!!!!
I so enjoy watching these to the point i change my lunch break to accommodate it. Simpley bloody marvelous craftsmanship
all the fun and games of working on instrument panels, particularly those in aircraft where you have multiple gauges and switches, and so many variations of fittings, and those that are easy to work on and those you want to save but have to sacrifice, i took a year to restore a Phantom II, and had to replicate some bits including the pilots handgrip, and now i have four genuine made by Bendix of USA
its one of the many things i consider when working on these as well, that someone designed all this, different companies had to create the parts, someone fitted them, and they may only have a short service, and then the history continues when i jump in the cockpit to restore it all
(incidentally, any one wanting genuine Bendix switches, that's the old style metal toggle switch, i have a reasonable stock of them for less than you pay on eBay, 2way and 3way
loving the vids, great content as always
Good job Daryl, bloody good work mate.
Love! Love! Love this channel! Greetings from Pennsylvania USA.

G’day and greetings from Tasmania I really look forward to my dose of fabrication and workshop building, it’s terrific how the blokes restore these machines in what would be heavy work, great channel would never miss it look after yourselves regards John
