    Your advice to not overthink it is good for someone like me who does over think a job. Thanks.

    I love watching you just go for it, no fear, don't worry about something going wrong and if it does just fix it. I admire that because if you spend all your time worrying about something might go wrong nothing will ever get done.

    I like watching a guy bring a car back to life, making it run and drive and safe. I can appreciate the hours you put in, on top of your day job. And Queen DD having your back through all of it! I will watch the rest later, as im giving my Fargo a once over before the journey tomorrow to Sobering restorations. Going to be a fun day. If truck cooperates.

    @randomyank7777 3 года назад +1

    Your experience with tri 5s is extensive . You know where to look , how to fix it , where to get parts & what can be substituted . I know this , as I've watched you work on Dani's 55 2 door conversion , that 57 field find 4 door give away , the 56 wagon , 57 2 door conversion sold as a body , the 57 Roadster 2 door & hard top conversion convertible , & this 57 2 door conversion Black Widow project . Those are just the ones I watched you do on video . That's not counting the 32 chop top Ford coup , 2 70 Challengers , 68 Satellite , & at least 1 Chevy truck . You did scare me with that wing window repair on the Cobra , with duct tape . Playing me , I know you were ! The Nova is nice too . Hopefully you'll throw just a little more weld in that rear driver's side fender where it transitions from the rocker into the fender arch . But aye , It's your car , I love watching you do what you do . ROCK ON !

    I lucked out and scored a rust free 56 150 utility sedan used by Pac Bell to deliver phone books in Northern CA..probably to our home when I was 10 years old...LOL. It was purchased at auction in 1966 by the auto electric shop that I got it from in 1979.
    Drove it through town and got pulled over with red lights and a siren. The officer asked what doing driving his car.
    I told him it was my car and NOT his to which he replied "it should be mine"
    I asked what the hay was he talking about and he said "you know the 283 in this car...I put that engine in it when I worked for Bills Auto Electric...it should be mine!!! I simply replied "well it's not!"
    I knew the officer from racing at Sears Point...plus he was one of my clients.
    I still drive that car here in Las Vegas..LOL
    You remind me of how we did things in the old days on a shoe string budget.
    Keep up the good work!

I used some moog ones. Works and look great.
