Its getting closer to the finishline. I personally like to watch fabrication stuff more than wheel spinning. These are an educative, i know that i know most of the tricks what are usually on this kind of videos, but there's usually something new and useful information too. Keep up the good work!
I know what you mean. I watch people here on RUclips all the time and see things they do and say, "now why didn't I know that?". I learn something new all the time! Thanks for watching! Have a good week!
I agree. I've always been that "built not bought" kind of guy. I really miss driving my hot rod that burned up in my old shop. I knew when I set out to build a new shop, then build a new car, it would take a while. But, in the end, that first drive will be a great feeling! Thanks for watching me bring this old trunk lid back!
Guess I'm one of the few who prefers the fabrication videos. I love working on old cars as much as I do driving them......maybe more ! Your videos are a "don't miss" for me. Great inovation using the TIG wire & a copper cable end as a backer. I use pieces of copper pipe, flatened out in a vise or hammered & bent as needed, for backers in otherwise inaccessible areas. Just a guess, but the holes you were wondering about, may have been used for alignment in an assembly fixture or for a handling fixture on the assembly line.
I'd say you are probably right on the holes. Since my shop burned in 2018 and I built my new shop, I haven't collected much junk laying around. I have to scramble to find things, and the copper wire lug was literally all I could find. A piece of small copper tubing would have worked great! I understand what you men about enjoying working on the cars. I love it too! Have a good one!
I certainly admire your ingenuity in fixing the holes, however you are doing it and as long as it’s getting done is all that matters! Great job, see you on the next video and have an awesome week!
Well, at least you are learning from me how to do everything the hard way HAHA! You've got that car you are working on looking good! I'll get there some day! steady progress!
Nice work on filling in all the holes and cracks, Phillip.... Been with you from the start of your channel, and have enjoyed every minute of it...sure some of the content is what some may call not exciting,, but it’s all part of the process, and needs to be done.... Personally,, I like the fact that you show almost all of the work in real time,, and your not jumping past it and just showing the finished work... I don’t have a Hotrod like you and others have,, but I do have a mid- 70’s classic Ford pickup that I’m working on restoring... I’ve always wanted to get a Model A or something from that era,, just never found the right one at the right time.... Anyway,,, keep doing what your doing my friend,, I’ll keep watching...
Appreciate the kind words as always! I decided when I started my channel to show the entire build, and not skip anything. You guys get to see the car being built in real time, weekly installments. The videos aren't real time because they have to be condensed, but the weeks that pass are real time, and I'm leaving nothing out. All work is videoed, and I show everything that I get done in the previous week. It gives good insight into exactly how long it takes, and the effort that goes into a project like this. I'm a working man with a busy schedule, and a family. So, watching my videos, seeing the effort I put into it, and time that passes, shows the reasons why people start these projects, and give up. I thought it was a interesting approach to the channel Some find it interesting, but others don't. Oh, I love the mid-70's For pickups. I'd love to have one myself. I like the 67-72's best, then the 73-77, then the 79. I don't care for the '78 headlights, but switch them the square 79 lights, and it's perfect! Have a good week!
Your shop is a dream shop in my books my shop is a work in progress all kind of stuff going on 😊 140 long 60 feet wide and 12 feet high heated with Oil and wood dirt floor send ya pictures of it my 28 and 54 International and Essex are in ther and wood shop welding shop too so yours is awesome Phillip mighty fine ya got room ha ha keep it up 👆 this is great to see and easy to watch ya at fun doing what ya do best oya your young so live it up ha ha great teacher ya are thks again Paul
Appreciate that Paul. I started with a 44 x 48 pole barn that was on my property when I bought it. They built it on the side of a hill and didn't even level the ground. It was built out of used materials including used chicken house metal, with lots of extra holes in the roof. I leveled the ground, added walls, poured concrete, and I worked on it on a tight budget for 21 years and had it getting close to what I wanted when it burned down in 2018. So, My new shop came through difficult times, and I had to get it the hard way. I had to borrow the money, and start from scratch. It is still a work in progress also, with a lot that still needs to be done. I have to work on it as I can afford to. Even though the payment isn't nice, and it will take several years to pay for it, I do enjoy the shop, and I'm blessed to have it. I appreciate you watching as always! Enjoy your day!
That works too! I just didn't have any. I was literally scrambling to find something and this was all I could come up with in my shop at the time. I'm going to start gathering up a few pieces of copper tubing to have in my stash!
Yep ------ you don't have much left on that trunk lid ------ not much left on the car ----------- Does your Air Saw accept hacksaw blades? Can cut them off at any length you want ------- Noticed also the Mover's Dolly under the Flathead ------ I think they have 3" casters ----- Does it work pretty good for you? Rolls around good? ------ Getting ---- Hot ---- how hot is it getting there for you? ----- Have a Good Week ----I'll be right here waiting for you to return ----- Rodney
The air saw uses a blade very similar to a hacksaw. I have not tried one, but looks like it would fit. The casters on the harbor freight moving dolly don't roll very well under that much weight, but they do roll and it is manageable to move the engine around the shop on it. It works OK. It got up to 97 one day this week, and it was 105 a couple of days in the paint booth at work this week. Have a blessed week Rodney!
@@phillipshotrodgarage You might take a look at an old hacksaw blade and see if it fits your air saw ----- Been watching " Bello's Kustoms " --- Mike has an Air Saw and uses Hacksaw Blades --- most of the time he cuts them in half ----- over to a disc sander and rounds off the end --- really could make the tip how you want ------ That ---- he said is his FAVORITE tool ------------- He Chops a lot of tops --- as you can see in his shop ----- I'm hoping to chop my '38 Ford --- if I get the chassis done and body back on by spring --- anyway ---- will save you some money on the blades --- and you have --Fine to Coarse for what you may need cutting -----Thought you might like to know ------ Rodney
I love watching the build part more than the spinning tires part you'll get more views on the fenders and working on the body because just weld in a few bolt-holes it's not that interesting
The way I determine the content for the channel is whatever I have to do next. So if it's welding holes, that's what I do. it shows the real side of building cars, the fun, and not so fun stuff, the interesting and the not so interesting. For those following the build from start to finish, it all makes sense. As far as views, I think when I get to the chassis, that's when things will pick up! Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it!

Any one can spin a tire, not everyone can bring a trunk lid back from the dead! I so enjoy every aspect of the restore.
I appreciate that! It has been a challenge, but It's going to turn out good I think. Thanks for watching!
im watching, because doing the work makes the finished product that much better!!!

Thanks for watching this series of videos on this old trunk lid. It's going to come together and be pretty nice I believe! Have a good week!
Keep going, you’re almost done!
Yes sir! Thanks for the push!
That lid has sure shaped up... Great job! Gotta work thru it.....we know that. It's not all puppy dogs and unicorns in the shop.
That's right! But, I have been thinking about getting a puppy dog for the shop! HaHa! 😀
@@phillipshotrodgarage you could call him Sun...sunny. Moon is taken!
I wonder why it took me a minute to get it? Wow. HAHA. Sunny it is! Now, I just have to get a dog LOL.
Looking good Phillip! One step closer to doing some Burnouts !
Yes sir! I better get me some old tires ready LOL!
Thanks for sharing, Phillip! Every video has been a lesson for me, and leaves me anxiously awaiting the next one!
Bro Harry
Well, at least you are learning from me how to do everything the hard way HAHA! You've got that car you are working on looking good! I'll get there some day! steady progress!
I can relate to the messiness of hot rod building! It gets away from me quite often
No doubt it does! It's easy to make a big mess and accomplish nothing! LOL!
@@phillipshotrodgarage 100 years of dirt adds up!
Got that right. The first thing I did on this car was pressure wash it inside and out, and its amazing what just keeps coming out of the cracks.
@@phillipshotrodgarage the era of dirt roads!
Nice work on filling in all the holes and cracks, Phillip....

Your rolling , great job
Thanks 👍Trying to get it done! As you know. it takes time, nd a lot of it!
Weld a piece of wire on the face of your patch - plug to use as a handle. Then just cut-grind it off afterwards. Looking great 👍
Good tip! I'll try it sometime!

I use flattende copper tubing for backing tool.
