I watch several fabricators and I find myself comparing all of them to Ian. Not about who's better but but about their approach to solving the same kinds of issues.

    Are you going to air bag the back too? I have a new set of triple play. Three bellows. Air Maxx bags and a couple sets of steel mounting plates and a pair of 6in spacers and an air tank with pressure switches and blow off safety and drain that is sitting on my shelf. I was going to bag a 37 chevy truck for my sister but sis changed her mind. Got a bunch of stainless fittings, tons of dot air line from a semi shop, and a air pressure guage kit. Large solenoid air valve. Somewhere their is a big 480c Air Maxx compressor hiding in the shop too.Just tell me if you want it all and I can ship it your way!! ❤❤❤

    I remember when I was kid my dad bought a fairly new 55 Ford Station wagon that was totaled in a front end wreck. Any way after he got the wrecked parts off he saw the frame was diamond shape. I recall him having the use of a fir trees, chains and pulleys and plumb bobs he pulled it back into shape. He put another front end on, rebuilt the suspension parts and primered the front end and we left 2 months later for a trip to North Dakota and back to Washington state. 3 years later I took my drivers test in that car! and now 65 years later this old gear head looks back at having done a lot of the same kind of stuff. Been watching your show for years and still learning new tricks.

    I too had a vehicle break loose from a broken strap but my '70 Chevy C20 went far enough to hit the corner of my building at the rollie door opening. Shoved the wall in about 6 inches but I banged it back out with a sledge. It did mess up my stucco though. Scary stuff!

    I've been looking and learning about paintless dent PDR and paintless collision repairs PCR One method, which is cool is to use hotmelt glue to temporarily bond the heavy pull strap directly onto the panel. The pull frame has a suction base to your floor and a boat winch to pull the strap.

But I do and have picked up tons of tips and tricks , which I’ll be forever greatful for. Who would ever had thought you can use your acetylene lid to make dimpledies . Question I have is , I know yall shut down your other shop , but do you still live at the ranch ? Love y’all big , and keep up with the great content.

And they come with these things called soft shackles. So you can fasten them to anything. They make the best ones in Idaho. At yankum ropes. You should look into em.👍

Making sure to be neat and all I get in the car to back it out and right then something distracted me and I looked over the seat to back out and forgot about the car door being open.

    You where talking about the audio. I would rather hear a loud fan than excessive noise reduction being all warbly and stuff.

    The arc joint pliers are like the deluxe version of pliers cause you can grab anything, bend stuff, and tear up so much more. Hehe. I have seen guys that could take a car apart with a pair of pliers and a butter knife.

    When you were testing the air bags the car made me think it was breathing. Coming alive as it was.
