  • We fully restored a vintage go kart van with a modern engine, steering and much more! The van was restored to look like an O'Reilly Auto Parts go kart and with the help of CW wraps in Post Falls Idaho we nailed it! #OReillyPowered

      Thanks for letting some great RUclipsrs get involved in giving you some great Advertising videos. Not only do grind hard do some Amazing work with what ever they put there hands on they bring great videos for us to watch. Just like puddings fab shop who was in the group picture at the convention. He also did a great video Advertising for you on his channel. And that was great to walking around your store.
      THANKS AGAIN ❤

      Sounds like O'Reilly should supply GHPC with an endless supply of blinker fluid, but don't forget to ask if it has AC before looking up part number.

    I'm surprised you guys havent made a heat exchanger for the woodstove yet and run hoses to a radiator on the opposite end of the shop with a fan. I'm sure you have all the stuff around the shop somewhere to rig somethin up. Would help keep it a lot warmer i'd think, better utilization of the heat you're already making. Maybe like a few dozen feet of copper tube wrapped around the chimney, or even just something to sit flat on top of the firebox

    • @fellenXD
      @fellenXD Год назад +2

      Just a couple of those peltier fans on top would probably help a lot.
      Though, building a heat exchanger and feeding a big tank of water would be pretty baller. That would stay warm for hours after thefire is out.

      I was looking at my 'account' to see if I could send them a couple "heat activated fans" and realized I may want a hamburger cooked at a store instead,and decided a loaf of bread for my bologna was best.They need Will to do his 'push-ups' in front of the heater instead...

    it is currently 85 degrees in arizona as I'm watching this, I'm amazed that its still so cold where yall are at, but as someone whos done race car and fiberglass/composite work for 3 1/2 years before i got injured, you seem to have done a pretty good job doing a nice quick patches and repairs on the body. Using the tape as a backing is something i had to learn on my own to bridge simple holes but you seem to have thought about using that way faster than i did, when you do that though its always best to do a nice wet down of resin on the tape/area before you lay the glass down to prevent the air bubbles you got. All in all, 8/10, good job.

    You guys need to put like a 1-2 inch dead air space around that stove and put a blower in the back somewhere, Run some 4-6 inch ductwork straight up to the ceiling and then over to all the corners of the shop. That's how I heat my 50x60 20 ft ceilings and it will run you out of there. I know youtube has a thing about background noise in videos but at least you could get it warm and turn the fan off or put a 4-inch PC fan inline somewhere to help pull push the air.
