    Austin I have seriously stopped being amazed by your fab skills and work in general. Are you kidding lol... your doing an amazing job. It looks absolutely fantastic. This is the best stages of any build. It's the 'wow" stage. Because at the end of each step you stand back and wow.... and it getting closer to the finish. You're a master craftsman Austin. I appreciate your work ethic. Your attention to detail. You don't spend a lot of time talking and "teaching ".. quick explanation and get after it. Your editing skills are such one almost forgets that you are not doing all this in the time frame of this video... but over a couple of weeks. As always looking forward to seeing what's next. It looks great 👍

    I know you mention it every so often but as far as equipment goes, any plans in doing a short video covering the minimum essential equipment to do the metal fabrication like you do on the FJ? If not, can you just reply with a quick list? Going to start restoration on my FJ next month and would love to know what you think the essentials are on a tight budget. Thanks for the great videos! Amazing work!

    I'm a beginner with no knowledge in welding. I have a wood shop. Wood is what I know. But have a 98 tacoma xtended cabe in good condition. But needs some attention. How do you remember what goes where? And not find your confidence break. Must been doing this since you were little? How did you get into this?

    I’m curious about the raptor liner. Is that like a spray in bed liner or an undercoating? I’m looking for something to coat the bottom and inside floor of my car to prevent rust from coming back. It was undercoated in 71 when it was new and a lot of it is still there but it’s missing everything in the back that was covered up.

  • @joegreer5034
    @joegreer5034 10 месяцев назад

    Try a kneeling the steel before you try and bend it best way I've found to do it is to take oxyacetylene mix it rich words putting out black smoke run it over your steel until it's blackened and then heat it until the black burns off that's when it is annealed and it will be softer to bend doing a great job though awesome work!

    Far better than a whole lot of us could do, Austin. I like you can keep your eyes on the ultimate goal, without worrying too much about this or that, just sticking to your plan. Good investment on the roller, I'm sure you'll get very good at it in the months ahead. For a first swing at using it, great results!
