You haven’t missed much. I can come back to the channel two months later and he’s started another two or three projects without finishing a single one. I’ve come to the conclusion he’s just curious how things are assembled.
Strongly recommend the new wire harness as you are dealing with very old brittle wires. You don't want to do all the ,make the mechanical investments and have a fire after all that.
I’ve got a 70 f250. Had to completely pull the totally rotted core support and replace. Watching you pain through some of the front end I felt the frustration. You’ve got a lot of work ahead but I’m excited to see the progress. These are cool trucks
He knows how to pull the trucks apart and throw them in a corner somewhere. Still waiting on the resurrection of the ford you took in two or three years ago? What ever happened to it?
Bolts with slits in them are. Self taping. After. Thier removal can b replaced. With standard coarse thread. The self taping. Are used for initial assembly.
As soon as you finish taking this one apart you can get started on the next new project. Can’t wait to see what the next one is. 😂 taking bets now on, will CT ever finish a project. Just giving you a hard time CT. Hopefully you can prove everyone wrong😂. It ain’t easy, I have taken a break from my bus project cuz of school. Hope to get back at it soon though. Gotta replace my front leaves.
This is the 3rd F250 on this channel. The first one was a 1972 F250 my brother and I pulled out of south Georgia about 7 years ago. I replaced the carb, distributor, brakes, exhaust, tires, etc...ran and drove great. Lots of videos on that one. The Swamp Dragon had some issues that might not be worth bringing back money wise at this time but we can use some of those parts on this one like the engine! =) ....This one "Big Reg" or "Red Dragon" will be up a running soon. Stay tuned!
@@CTmoog Wait... Are you saying the Swamp Dragon is dead? No chance of finishing? I've been waiting for so long to see it come back. Major disappointment if this is true.
Today these old cars are like chasing down the rabbit hole. Hey it looks ok then you tear one thing down, then another, Before you know it your replacing the whole truck.
You’re definitely getting there. Great job so far. I would suggest LMC truck for some of those replacement parts. It’s not factory but will definitely save time and labor.
For those watching getting ready to do this, you avoid some of the struggles if you remove things front to back. Had the grille and then radiator support been removed before the inner and outer fenders things go smoother, and you don’t get half your front end wanting to tip sideways.
those big washers on the body mounts act as shims to get your lines correct. I'd label which side they came out of so you know which side needed what shims. best bet is to replace the rubber mounts with poly ones, they're grease and gas resistant and overall last a whole lot longer.
also, you were WAY more nonchalant about the hornets in the headlight bucket than I would have been haha. I would have tossed that damn thing across the shop and come back with a torch!
The haters on here are making me scratch my head. Even teams of pro car restorers it can take over a year to finish just one project. CT is just one man in a garage. What is wrong with people.
If the so called "pro restorers" just got on it, they could often finish a project in a month. It all boils down to two things: proper equipment in a spacious shop and the application of man hours. Of course, I'm assuming a high level of actual talent as well. Best wishes! - Max Giganteum
Sins you are going to freshen up the entire engine bay with new or rebuilt components, I would suggest replacing the inner fenders, radiator support with aftermarket parts. You would be much happier.
That right cab mount might need to be replaced, very easy to replace them same with cab corners inner and outers, replacement of these parts fit from 68 to 72 . I'm surprised you are not using a 390 motor instead of the 360
Hey man! Thanks for checking in! I've been busy working on this Ford FE 360 engine and I have a 2.0 Type 4 engine that Darrin build. Working on that as well. I should have an update video out soon.
@@CTmoogI think he asked when you are getting back to it. It’s not finished, just like everything else. Your content is fun to watch but it does get extremely frustrating when you don’t finish anything. It’s constantly bouncing around with no completion and your subscribers have shared their frustration. I have unsubscribed now as well. Best of luck to you CT
CT i was thinking will the swampdragon cab fit to that frame iam curious. I forgot the Chinese new year is the year of the dragon that be cool to see the dragons cab on that frame 🤔 take care stay cool👍
Can someone contact me when he’s putting one of the vw’s or Porsche back together! Got excited for him when he drove the chassis down the street and now nothing but testing the batteries in his impact? CT you’re losing us I think?
Why are you removing the body? Do you need to replace the floor pans? If you need to remove the body to work on the chassis it helps if you remove the glass, bumpers and doors to remove the weight. You can lift up one end at a time and use a jack to get it off the frame. You may need to remove the seats to give you move clearance to move the chassis out of the way. It helps if you have a friend or two as well to lift the body of the chassis.
@@CTmoog Floor pans and everything else needs redone. I want to do a full chassis restoration like you did and keep the body patina like you do :) I've been studying cars for a few years now and think I'm ready to begin.
What's the point if you can unscrew everything and remove old rusty metal sheets with the Flex, but you can't put anything back together. Apparently he doesn't know how to weld to finish a project. See Porsche 914. It's very rusty...lets do it.😂
@@CTmoog I don't need to watch your Beetle series. I was interested in the 914 restoration. But you just can't go any further because you keep starting new projects without finishing the old projects. Read through the many other comments. This bothers not only me, but also many others. You don't seem to care though ha...ha...ha
Whether you actually finish a project or not, at a minimum you should offer some closure on each of these projects. It would please your audience, which is losing patience with you. Every story deserves an ending.
Been waiting 2 weeks. Missed your videos.
Thanks man! Sorry for the delay. We got behind schedule last week. 😎
You haven’t missed much. I can come back to the channel two months later and he’s started another two or three projects without finishing a single one. I’ve come to the conclusion he’s just curious how things are assembled.
Hope this one doesn’t end up in the CT Graveyard as well! Was hoping to see the 65 Patina Beetle finished up! You’re so close brother!
Me too! 😄This one should be up and running soon! =)
I gotta introduce this channel to my wife. This bro's got a worse case of ADHD than I do with unfinished projects! :) Doh Squirrel ! Love ya CT! 💛
hahha! =) its all good!
Strongly recommend the new wire harness as you are dealing with very old brittle wires. You don't want to do all the ,make the mechanical investments and have a fire after all that.
Yes, I'm looking at them now...they aren't cheap...
Why I stick lawn mower projects 😮 I’m like you pal!😂
You never restore and finish any projects. What ever happened to the swamp find ford truck?
🇦🇺👍time to push this one aside with the other ones and find another project
😅👍 He looking for another project as I write this comment.
I’ve got a 70 f250. Had to completely pull the totally rotted core support and replace. Watching you pain through some of the front end I felt the frustration. You’ve got a lot of work ahead but I’m excited to see the progress. These are cool trucks
Yes, it's bit tricky getting those rusty bolts out. Love these old trucks! =)
Do you ever finish a project?
Started the 67/72 truck project, what happened to swamp dragon?
He knows how to pull the trucks apart and throw them in a corner somewhere. Still waiting on the resurrection of the ford you took in two or three years ago? What ever happened to it?
Exactly
Question: Do you ever complete a project????
CT in his best (teardown) mode. 😂 Cheers!
Bolts with slits in them are. Self taping. After. Thier removal can b replaced. With standard coarse thread. The self taping. Are used for initial assembly.
What ever happened to the 65 beetle? Did to sell it? Your shop truck is cool but the beetle is Kooler!
I still have it. Trying to get a title for it so I can drive it around a bit. Needs a few things but it's basically done and ready for the road.
As soon as you finish taking this one apart you can get started on the next new project. Can’t wait to see what the next one is. 😂 taking bets now on, will CT ever finish a project.

I have mutable videos on rebuilding the vw front beams. I hope those help. Good luck on your project.
multiple
@@CTmoog yeah. I know what I gotta do. Just don’t wanna do it cuz taking out the leaves and replacing them is a hassle.😆
Pretty good at pulling things apart, Bloody hopeless at putting them back together again.
I think CT knows exactly what he's doing...stay tune...
You’re joking right?
Another ford truck to never finish prove me wrong

Big step today 👍 Nice intermediate projekt until you get the parts for the the Targa . Can't wait to see more CT 👍
Thanks man! 👍
You’re definitely getting there. Great job so far. I would suggest LMC truck for some of those replacement parts. It’s not factory but will definitely save time and labor.
Nice job cool truck Ford good show 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏❤😍
Thanks 👍
Keep making videos CT we are always waiting for your videos
Thanks my friend! =)
❤@@CTmoog
I'm surprised you couldn't hear us yelling while you were trying to get the front fender off, "Follow the wire back" lol
Missing the 65 Beetle. 😞
Over 40 videos in the playlist on the 65 beetle - check it out =) more to come

Thanks for watching! =)
Great job 👍 going to be a cool truck... Nothing like them old Ford's.

i am not big on the rusty look , I like classic , but to each his own
yes, it's nice if you can one with less rust but they tend to be a bit more expensive. This one is going to clean up real nice.
those big washers on the body mounts act as shims to get your lines correct. I'd label which side they came out of so you know which side needed what shims. best bet is to replace the rubber mounts with poly ones, they're grease and gas resistant and overall last a whole lot longer.
That is the factory steering box, they either used Bendix which you have there or the ford unit.
Check the King pins out if you don't want the front-end shakes when driving
CT. buddy were you at we need a fix of tinkering on a sunday take care stay cool and safe👍😎
also, you were WAY more nonchalant about the hornets in the headlight bucket than I would have been haha. I would have tossed that damn thing across the shop and come back with a torch!

Nice truce and clean fire wall
Its a very nice Truck . its in very good shape. please replace all the body mounts , and the radiator support mounts they are no good.
Thank you! good idea! I will order them this week.
Hi looking getting lots done. Are you going to use the AC
Unit back on the truck ?
Thank you! Yes, if it's still good I might use it. It gets hot here in Florida! =)
What happened to the swamp Dragon
Will end up as a parts truck, for someone else.
The heart of the Swamp Dragon will live on in the Red Dragon! =) F360 built & ready to install/ Stay tuned! =)
@@CTmoog I was correct swamp Dragon will a parts truck for you, or someone else.
Sins you are going to freshen up the entire engine bay with new or rebuilt components, I would suggest replacing the inner fenders, radiator support with aftermarket parts. You would be much happier.
Dont mess with that fender, i would buy a replacement one.
I've been telling a couple of the accounts that i deliver too about the channel.
Thank you! =) I really appreciate that.

Lots of after market parts are available, NPD and Dennis Kirk, some very reasonable. Maybe swap dragon won't get a storage buddy
..😮
Ojalá y esta si la termine. Por que la azul claro, nada mas la despedorro y nunca la vimos terminada 🤭
Great content as usual but what has happened to the Karmann Ghia and beetle rebuilds ?
Have u every finished a project
He made video.
HEY BUD WERE YOU BEEN MAN STAY COOL🤙

When are you getting back on the bug?
Tim, the beetle is basically done. The first drive video was uploaded months ago. Did you not see it?
I don't think I saw it? Will go back and watch it
I guess I did watch it😊. Love it so much I guess I just want more

Yes, it might. I'm going to pull the Swamp Dragon's frame out of the swamp and clean it up. It might work! =) good idea!
@@CTmoog ive been scratching my head it should work it would look cool also the dragon was a camper to i figured i ask CT. stay cool👍💯⚡
Must have missed something. Why did you take the cap off as a unit, instead of piece by piece? You had it all loose.
Can someone contact me when he’s putting one of the vw’s or Porsche back together! Got excited for him when he drove the chassis down the street and now nothing but testing the batteries in his impact? CT you’re losing us I think?
Need some sandblasting love 😅
what happened to the swamp dragon?
it's in the swamp! =)
I would try either Denis Carpenter or CJ pony parts before LMC. Just saying. Jeff's bronco graveyard also.
Bom Dia Amigo tudo Bem aqui estamos bem graças A Deus
where your sandblasting equipment is?
Where do you get exact replacement bolts for this?
there are a few suppliers. google "F100 body bolt kit" . cjpony, lmc, Dennis Carpenter to name a few.
Hope it isn't like swamp dragon
Awsome
Hey CT, how would you get a body off a VW bug without a hoist set up like you have

Is the chrysler imperial still on the burner?
haha! no....that was my brother's car. he sold it last year.
When will the new porsche video come out?

Soak the parts in Evaporust, they will look like new

It cost twice as much to ship it than the price of the part.

You have no business working on a truck if you don't even know when you find the jack crank handle what it is for..
Stick to VWs
James, I know you've been here a long time. This is my 3rd F250 project. It's going to be awesome! Stay tuned! =)
Shorten that grandpa long bed.
I'm keeping this one long. It's a work truck not race car. I will buy a factory short bed project soon and spice it up a bit. Stay tuned! =)
YOU MAKE MADD YOU WILL NEVER STAY INTO ONE PROJECT AND FINFISH IT . DONOT BUY ANOTHER AUTO UNTIL YOU FINISH THE OTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🤗👍👌❤️💯
U find anything rusty *****

dislike for dropped pants
Very boring, too much speak , very little action 😰
Every Time New Project But Not Completing Any 1 Of Them.. No Use CT.
