This isn't just a few lads playing with a tank. This is history being made and a documented restoration in full. Phenomenal attention to detail and well done Jack on all the cleaning, polishing and painting. Love this series
As a disabled U.S. Army Abrams mechanic.. I really enjoy watching you guys do your rebuild work. I have to admit to some jealousy over the fact that you all get to do this work, and I can not. Working on Military equipment was something I loved more than anything. Good job on the project so far.
@@NATOenthusiast at the time I served.. it was the crew of the tanks. Some of the things I had to deal with were beyond tolerance. If you mean about the tank specifically... it would have to be {redacted redacted redacted redacted, redacted}. I hope that answers your question.
My favourite bit of this series is someone had to go to the tank museum board and say "i found a dog, a mechanic and a man in a hi-vis and think we should give them the barn for giggles"
Ted is taking direct responsibility for this FV4005 project and it shows in the quality of work on the project. Ted is a safe set of paws on this one. 🐕
That looks like the best and most difficult Airfix kit ever, i bet you loved laying it out on the floor all painted and awsome looking before assembly. Keep making the movies we all love em!!!
Joe, it's not often that I take iseue with you but you're wrong that Britain isn't still great. It is. It's people like you and your team that make it great. J
So far this looks better than anything the factory standard. As always if in doubt slap a coat of copper anti-seize. Beer and anti-seize are the best inventions.
What a skilled fork lift driver Ted is without his help there could have been alot more swaring and scratch paint work Yet again you have made another great video Thanks lads
You guys got a great payoff in terms of a very smooth reinstall because of top class preparation and layout. Plus you really know your stuff. A pleasure to watch.
Absolute pleasure to watch. I always look forward to your videos, Joe and Jack. Keep up the fantastic work you are doing. Yours is one of the greatest RUclips channels out there in my opinion.
Well done everyone, especially Jack. When the parts were laid out on the ground at the start, I thought it looked a bit like a giant Airfix model minus the plastic frame. Love the attention to detail and effort here. It's already very rewarding and will be brilliant!
Water pump pliers make a real tidy job of folding lock tabs, the tab needs a slight lift but then use water pump pliers to get a clean fold. Brilliant work great team love the banter.
She's very much Jacks baby, you can see his pride in what's been achieved and rightly so! I reckon when you give it back, he'll be down the tank museum every weekend polishing it and shining its nuts!
What a feeling it must be for you guys to assemble such pristine pieces back together for a change! Nary a spot of rust or speck of dirt to be seen. It's already looking fantastic - can't wait to see more of it! You all deserve big, big pints after this job - drinks on Seb!
In 1967 68 i worked for Rolls Royce and built the V12 proto type great engine and nice to see taking care of them . love your vids keep em coming from Canada.
Spectacular work lads. Looks amazing, and looks like grand work. And of course, Ted being there is the crucial thing, keeping an eye on the whole job. I'm sure Bovington will be happy with the Ted Certification.
I can see that you guys are back to your favourite Tonka toy with the very important help of recently promoted of Ted! The Fv 4005 looks better than new, great job as always 👍👍👍👍
I am happy to see that Ted is working and not just supervising. It's also great to see that he is forklift certified, as opposed to an alarming amount of frogs that aren't..
Guys my OCD is mightily impressed with the attention to every detail. But its the details that make the overall project right. Right? That this would all go well was never in doubt as Ted was overseeing every move. I will have to get the P38 finished and get up to the Museum to see how it all turned out first hand.
I was looking forward to this vid. Honestly many folks have zero appreciation of how much work something like this restoration is. I'm hoping all the upcoming work goes smoothly for you, you've approached this with lots of logic and careful consideration of process. More cider for you both I say!
thank the Lord, finally Ted has seen sense in showing you how to operate the fork lift properly - although when moving you should really keep the load low keeping the centre of gravity low, you'll learn that when things go slightly whoops when off road, and by that time Ted would have foreseen this and jumped well clear, self preservation Yet again Jack has performed a miracle of paint inside the engine bay, great job Jack
The tank is looking brilliant and am pleased to see that Ted is leading the way. His calm demeanor and attention to detail is well apparent. Amazing to think that you lot have done this massive job, in a shed down by the river with two spanners, an adjustable wrench and a big hammer. When it was originally built they had hundreds of hands, in a massive factory full of hoists and torches and all well supervised by some suites and clipboards. Well done, cheers.
Well done guys ! I've last seen what you are doing so well , is during the upgrading of our old Centurion tanks to the Olifant tanks here in South Africa ...
This has been brilliant from the outset. Great to see how much attention to detail has been taken. And trying to do all your other jobs as well..... FAir play lads!
Too bad they did not make that cross member unboltable that's go in across the engine department and make it and so you have to swing the engine around on its side to be able to get it in. You guys have a great Tuesday
You guys deserve a medal - seriously - a genuine medal - or at the very least, some formal recognition. What you lads do is bl**dy amazing - and thoroughly entertaining into the bargain!!
Wow that looks so minty fresh better than when it came from the factory keep going lads push on hope fully it will be a bit easier once engine gearbox etc is all done can't wait to see it at tankfest 😊😊
Outstanding!!!!! I hope the people at the museum will give all your hard work the recognition you all deserve by maybe having a video of your excellent work posted on a nice flat screen TV next to this vehicle In the museum.
OOh I missed this yesterday. I was out on Birthday visit looking at Hawkinge museum OK not tanks but they did have an RAF crane which would look good on the farm. Good show and shiney bolts all round!
Ready for Tankfest, glad you didn't say which year 😅 All jokes aside, you're all doing a great job and even if we have back to back FV4005 videos it will still be great to watch.
Your project management is faultless Ted. Good to see your Donald Sutherland lookalike assistant in the hi-vis and 'Jack the hat' were using 'Moly Copaslip' on the bolts, something I would always swear by in my engineering days at sea. Looking forward to see the machine up and running. I guess Jack is the 'Haribo' man ?
Very photogenic and camera conscious is your Ted, always ready with the right pose. Excellent job chaps, what a beauty. Easier to build it than to maintain it, I'm thinking. Looking forward to the next vid.
Jack does a fantastic job with the paint and appears purpose built for engine compartment assembly. Let's hope St. Nick Enterprises doesn't steal him back.
A nice lunch time watch, and outstanding restoration you're doing there :-) I think the orange jacket which is not much orange is standard for people playing with mechanical toys. Mine is mostly coloured like yours, and i'm wondering how come I smell off ep90 today, when all I did today was put the windscreen wash pipe back on the washer bottle pump on me tranny van as it came off lol........lucky an understanding mrs who has given up with the smell of oils, fuels and all the good stuff associated with spannering .
Hello Joe - i just noticed that youtube has "unsubscribed" me from your channel! May be worth asking viewers to check. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you and the crew.
11:46 Silicone grease would also work and just happens to be the best stuff over to put on household curtain track, only seconded by black bumper spray. Proper Jubilee clips - something made in Britain (Kent?) that does make Britain great.

I said it before and I'll say it again, those that tinker with "old steel" are gold👍
fvck that. ted's the only one doing any real work.
Ted is the best forklift driver i have ever seen
Way better than anyone at amazon 😂
What is Ted paid ?
@@robertstibz9506 Not enough!
How many forklift drivers can do the job, and supervise, while doing the odd search for any itinerant fleas or ticks, with their teeth?
@@robertstibz9506 wdym lol ted gets to sneek off and eat poo

Hey I have a question for you, what’s your most hated thing about this Abrams.
@@NATOenthusiast at the time I served.. it was the crew of the tanks. Some of the things I had to deal with were beyond tolerance.
If you mean about the tank specifically... it would have to be {redacted redacted redacted redacted, redacted}.
I hope that answers your question.
@@Drakonniz That’s Perfect 🤣🤣🤣
You know it’s Mediocre Britain when Jack is wearing a Ball Cap supporting the Cleveland Browns AMERICAN Football Team.
@@lesliepaulkovacs6442 football sucks. I would rather be working on tanks.
My favourite bit of this series is someone had to go to the tank museum board and say "i found a dog, a mechanic and a man in a hi-vis and think we should give them the barn for giggles"
From a retired engineer I love your sense of humour mixed with the correct amount of professionalism don't change Kind Regards from Liverpool
That engine bay is an absolute thing of beauty. I think it is the red linkages that tip the whole build from great to outstanding.
Sunday morning with a nice cup of coffee and a Mr Hewes video, life is good!
Ted is taking direct responsibility for this FV4005 project and it shows in the quality of work on the project. Ted is a safe set of paws on this one. 🐕
Yes.. perfect to sit and watch this on a cozy sunday morning.
Fantastic to watch you guys restoring those awesome machines 😊
That looks like the best and most difficult Airfix kit ever, i bet you loved laying it out on the floor all painted and awsome looking before assembly. Keep making the movies we all love em!!!
Jack has done a fantastic job! Top man!
Joe, it's not often that I take iseue with you but you're wrong that Britain isn't still great. It is. It's people like you and your team that make it great. J
Agreed and not agreed. MOST of Britain is now sh1te, with some gems of greatness like the mr hewes team.
Another great video, but could you lose the “elevator music”, no need for it,thanks.
Well said @bullockjj 👍🏻
Engine bay is looking great
So far this looks better than anything the factory standard. As always if in doubt slap a coat of copper anti-seize.
Beer and anti-seize are the best inventions.
I quite agree, however not necessarily in that order…
Along with sliced bread and the indoor sh*tter.

Tp instead of pine cones😬
Ted the foreman and the crew have done a great job ! Great video again !
What a skilled fork lift driver Ted is without his help there could have been alot more swaring and scratch paint work Yet again you have made another great video Thanks lads
You guys got a great payoff in terms of a very smooth reinstall because of top class preparation and layout. Plus you really know your stuff. A pleasure to watch.
Ted has done an absolutely stunning job there
Particularly when you consider what he's had to work with 👏👏👏
Perhaps a DJ or morning suit Joe, Jack to accompany that spotless work of art !!
Ahhhhh a Sunday morning isn't complete without a video from Mr Hewes! 🥰
3am in Wisconsin loving these vids every time they come out shout out to Oshkosh they make some crazy trucks idk if they have any in the uk
Oshkosh are used as aviation fuel bowsers in the British army
My son recently left the British Army, he drove the Oshkosh amongst others. Beast.
Absolute pleasure to watch. I always look forward to your videos, Joe and Jack. Keep up the fantastic work you are doing. Yours is one of the greatest RUclips channels out there in my opinion.
Looks very neat and tidy coming along really well , Ted is so cool by the way.
I love the contrast of all the nice clean parts and your work attire in the beginning.
Well done everyone, especially Jack. When the parts were laid out on the ground at the start, I thought it looked a bit like a giant Airfix model minus the plastic frame. Love the attention to detail and effort here. It's already very rewarding and will be brilliant!
Water pump pliers make a real tidy job of folding lock tabs, the tab needs a slight lift but then use water pump pliers to get a clean fold. Brilliant work great team love the banter.
Cracking job, testament to Jack's hard work!
She's very much Jacks baby, you can see his pride in what's been achieved and rightly so!

What a nice Sunday to wake up to with a fresh brew. That mint engine compartment is a serious eye candy.
In 1967 68 i worked for Rolls Royce and built the V12 proto type great engine and nice to see taking care of them . love your vids keep em coming from Canada.
I love the nonchalance of Ted as he rides shotgun on the fork lift. No fear just along for the ride
Spectacular work lads. Looks amazing, and looks like grand work. And of course, Ted being there is the crucial thing, keeping an eye on the whole job. I'm sure Bovington will be happy with the Ted Certification.
Amazing job on the engine bay, Looks like it just came out of the factory. More biscuits for ted after all his hard work.
Thank you kindly
the fact that you're restoring such a niche piece of history, keeping it alive and maintained in such a way, is phenomenal, and deserves all respect
Your camera work/ filming was really good in this video! Awesome work
Yes! Not too much shaky cam this time, which gives me motion sickness and I have to skip the video until it stabilizes.
It’s crazy to see you guys still so bundled up. I’m here in Phoenix, AZ and we’re already hitting 100 degrees F/ 37 degrees C in the spring.
You know it’s gonna be a good job when Ted oversees the work !!!
I can see that you guys are back to your favourite Tonka toy with the very important help of recently promoted of Ted! The Fv 4005 looks better than new, great job as always 👍👍👍👍
Morning, tea and Mr Hewes...... Pretty good way to start the day.
Lovely job chaps. With a bit of luck you'll get Haribo sending you a big box of treats too!
I am happy to see that Ted is working and not just supervising. It's also great to see that he is forklift certified, as opposed to an alarming amount of frogs that aren't..
A great start to my day. There is something magical in watching military equipment being restored .
Looking better than the day it came off the production line all those years ago .Well done she is looking good and a cool video 👍
that's actually looking real snazzy. Quite some incredible work on the rustbucket.
FV4005 is beginning to look magnificent!! Well done lads!
Glad to see Director Ted made sure all was perfect
Guys my OCD is mightily impressed with the attention to every detail. But its the details that make the overall project right. Right?
That this would all go well was never in doubt as Ted was overseeing every move.
I will have to get the P38 finished and get up to the Museum to see how it all turned out first hand.
I like watching Fixing tanks and other vehicles to see the tanks back Back in working order, And not being left to Scrap keep up the good work
I was looking forward to this vid. Honestly many folks have zero appreciation of how much work something like this restoration is. I'm hoping all the upcoming work goes smoothly for you, you've approached this with lots of logic and careful consideration of process. More cider for you both I say!
Amazing work on a unique piece of history, Can't wait to see it finished and running.
thank the Lord, finally Ted has seen sense in showing you how to operate the fork lift properly - although when moving you should really keep the load low keeping the centre of gravity low, you'll learn that when things go slightly whoops when off road, and by that time Ted would have foreseen this and jumped well clear, self preservation
Yet again Jack has performed a miracle of paint inside the engine bay, great job Jack
Well done Ted, they couldn’t have done it without you!
The tank is looking brilliant and am pleased to see that Ted is leading the way. His calm demeanor and attention to detail is well apparent. Amazing to think that you lot have done this massive job, in a shed down by the river with two spanners, an adjustable wrench and a big hammer. When it was originally built they had hundreds of hands, in a massive factory full of hoists and torches and all well supervised by some suites and clipboards. Well done, cheers.
Ah it’s grand seeing Ted pass on his knowledge to you young ones.
Superb work. I guess jack has a strong back - another job he's been carrying. Look forward to the next one.
Brilliant work as always boys, however Ted on the forklift truck made it for me. Great video and info. Thank you
You boys should look at getting all the bolts and hardware zink plated, lasts for years 👌
Love Ted, had a dog in High Scholl with the exact same coloring and same attitude, had to be around me where ever I went
Well done guys ! I've last seen what you are doing so well , is during the upgrading of our old Centurion tanks to the Olifant tanks here in South Africa ...
Ted has some great people working for him
This has been brilliant from the outset. Great to see how much attention to detail has been taken. And trying to do all your other jobs as well..... FAir play lads!
Well done Jack thats some cracking effort on the refurb and paint jobs
Too bad they did not make that cross member unboltable that's go in across the engine department and make it and so you have to swing the engine around on its side to be able to get it in. You guys have a great Tuesday
A work of passion i see! a film title would be 'the passion of the FV4 005 tankee' wonderful video!
You guys deserve a medal - seriously - a genuine medal - or at the very least, some formal recognition. What you lads do is bl**dy amazing - and thoroughly entertaining into the bargain!!
Ted always improves you lot’s efficiency
The fact that the engine mounts are part of the water cooling system is wild !
Cheers From California 😎
Wow that looks so minty fresh better than when it came from the factory keep going lads push on hope fully it will be a bit easier once engine gearbox etc is all done can't wait to see it at tankfest 😊😊
It’s 4:55 AM in 🇨🇦, and I’m watching some British guy restore a tank 😭
Ask if you can borrow it to deal with Trudeo
Another great vid starring Ted the ace forklift driver, is there no end to his talents.
tidy work team. Thanks for the upload
Jim
Outstanding!!!!! I hope the people at the museum will give all your hard work the recognition you all deserve by maybe having a video of your excellent work posted on a nice flat screen TV next to this vehicle In the museum.

Suns actually out in Manchester today and weve also this Nice Sunday treat with Teddy as the star role
Looking fantastic gang hope you pull it off
🤠
Well worth the wait , good stuff chaps!
Ready for Tankfest, glad you didn't say which year 😅
All jokes aside, you're all doing a great job and even if we have back to back FV4005 videos it will still be great to watch.
Great rebuild guys hope Ted gets his crane certification soon.
Thoroughly enjoyed that, you chaps can really do a nice job when you get your A game on. 👍
That is a thing of beauty gentlemen! Jack has gone beyond mere restoration, more like a time machine view on assembly day!👍
They all so talented (and Ted) I don't know how they do it. Not a Haynes manual in sight. Brilliant!
As per usual when Ted is involved, you chats get a lot done! Fantastic job guys looks incredible😊
I bet its cleaner and better than when it were new! Cracking work men!

Looks like 10 pounds of apparatus stuffed in a 5 pound bag Sir- outstanding work from old Navy mechanic....

that is looking better than it would have when new , well done , keep the good work , and Ted try to keep the boys under control

It is a good deal that y'all have Ted to look after y'all. Things are looking good. Very cool to get to see the details of the FV40005 build.
All that prep-work paying off. Beautiful job, smart work. 👌
The music you used for the timelapse fit really well in my opinion. Keep up the great editing like that, I enjoyed it. Relaxing vibes 👍
Great job guy's and Poo as safety officer all good nice and shiny. Jack has been a busy man.
I am genuinely excited to see the finished FV4005 and people's reactions.
Hello Joe - i just noticed that youtube has "unsubscribed" me from your channel! May be worth asking viewers to check. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you and the crew.
Clever dual use of engine mounting frames and coolant supply. No long rubber pipes to fail and good use of space.
Such a beautiful clean job boys. Nice to see that it's starting to come together.
Many many congratulations, you've all worked so hard. So happy for you, enjoy the water. 🥳❤
Had no idea Ted was forklift certified! What a legend
