    Hey Diff, great to see you back in the shop.😊 I'm not embarrassed to say I was quite concerned for you. The best medicine is a positive attitude and cuts and burns from doing the things we love. Keep at it my friend!😊

    I thoroughly enjoyed how you did this and the edging tool lesson. Your f... cancer sign is a positive message to all of us whom have suffered this pernicious disease. My son in law has just receives news that he is Stage 1 and starts treatment in the upcoming week, with a highly positive prognosis. Keep fighting it my friend.

    • @ratrodsafrica
      @ratrodsafrica  4 месяца назад +2

      Please give your son in law my best. The medicine he must add is hope, a positive attitude and a good dose of humor!

    Ha! Thx for the shoutout 😊 You’re most welcome my friend. It’s a cheap price to pay for the entertainment you provide. I ALWAYS look forward to spending time in your shop and all the lessons, explanations, and wisdom. Another great episode! I’m loving this project. (As I have all your work). That fender grill is a fantastic touch. As is your new leather work! Be well Div. 😊👍👍

    @paulwier7005 4 месяца назад +29

    Diff, Just a suggestion... What ever makes you HAPPY. Have you thought about converting the Renault to a two door? Moving the pillar rearward would make so much easier to get in and out of... Also would open up the pillar blocking your side vision. Cheers. Paul

      @coathanger51 4 месяца назад +1

      we have seen Ian Rousse;l the four door to two door thing but I really dig the four door thing, it retains the character and aura of the original Renault, kinda like a sleeper, and a lot less work for a rat rod... just saying... I guess I just might be an old fuddy duddy but... ... ...

    • @ratrodsafrica

    Yes your quant little french car is starting to look VERRRY COOL and somewhat rally carish...all that's missing now is a large rear wing or maybe a Porsche style whale tail , but now visibly one of a kind. Great work 😊
