    Back in the 60s the chain fall was all that was available to a mechanic. I put my first engine in a 57 Chevy with one at 15 yrs old. It was anchored at the top with a horizontal elm tree limb. Advanced technology at its best in 1965. Your work on the chop top is amazing. 😮

      Ha. Tree. The engine hoist is cheating. I use chain falls at work to pick up 1000s of pounds. Extremely useful

    *Thanks for the effort you put into these vids. You think sh*t out so well it's pleasure to watch you work. The body was already done on my Merc. The guy did a nice job. He separated the rocker section from the doors and made up stand alone rockers. He rounded the doors ! Big job itself. A little old guy made the front fascia over a wood buck. Another piece of work and makes the car different. I've owned the car 22yrs and only have 2 minor shifts in the weld hiding leadwork. Even though I do linelock burnouts and dry pavement donuts. 👊😎👍

      Yes, I think it wasn't until the forties that car bodies were all metal. An interesting video is the factory assembling a late thirties Chevrolet on Periscope films. It shows the immense number of materials, machinery, and workers to make all of the parts to the vehicle before it goes down the assembly line. There is also one on Ford vehicles as well. Amazing that the cars were so affordable when you look into just what goes into the manufacturing process.

    • @billywird
      @billywird 11 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, sir and it is best to use an electric or battery powered one. I used to use a gas blower but every time I used it I had to work on it to get it started and also gas it up. I use a battery powered one and with an extra battery I can switch out when the battery gets too low.

    Your comment in the previous video is spot on. It is best to work alone, and work at your pace and figure out things for yourself. You want to get an education then watch the other people who do this work rather than some armchair helper who has it all figured out to save you time because they are in a hurry to help out and don't have the patience to figure this out and not make any mistakes. Nothing irritates me more than to have to ask someone for help and then receive a tutorial on how to do something that I have already figured out for myself.

    @richieconway2294 11 месяцев назад

    I love the channel, I'm uk based. I was hooked since I watched you chop a Merc. A question, I once saw someone chop a car and the did all the welding to chop from the inside, they just left the welds and the upholstery hid everything. Would this save you a load of time, or is it a bad idea. Richie
