  • We have been making a lot of progress on the back of the truck so I figured we would switch it up and hop to the front of the truck. The ol Datsun really needs some front fender wells, so lets give her some. Slight trimming required. Thank You guys for watching and following along!

    Let me tell you why you are one of the best channels out there. There are a lot of entertaining guys who pull old stuff out, start it up, and leave it in their yard to rot just as it was before they yanked it out. You actually bring your projects back to life. You make them useful again and that has more value than just entertainment. You also do your own fabrication which is so much more special than just swapping parts. Thank you for being you.

    One of my favorite "sheet metal tools" was a world-war-two vintage office desk. Thick steel construction, you could close your work piece in the various spaces between the drawers to form bends, and even curves, as you back the metal out of the drawer little by little.

    Honestly, just kudos to picking up a 620 project and sticking to it. I know this ones got history with you and is probably one of the more popular builds on your channel, but I dont know how many 'barn find rescues' and restorations people have started on a 620 and then gave up for a C10 or something else because it wasn't getting the views. Granted, yours is getting views because you're making insane progress at an insane rate, and its actually quality stuff!
    And for the people who dont like the mini truck content.. hit up any other car resto/rescue channel because this stuff here is gold.

    I'm a big fan of triangulated 4 link suspension, especially on rear suspensions, it's the most efficient way to center a rear end with the most travel. It's also good for when you don't have a lot of room for suspension components. Which is also a plus.

    It was great getting to meet you over at Raceton's the other day. We're not friends yet, but I promise you one thing, when I say I love watching people grow and succeed, I mean it. You realize how unmotivating and boring it is watching people just shuffle along being content with half ass? When people around me excel, it motivates me to excel and push myself harder. We have a lot of mutual friends, and I've heard nothing but great stuff about you. Since discovering your channel it's quickly become one of my favorites. And when I say I can't wait to see what all kinds of opportunities you open up for yourself, I mean it. I wish everybody had that same passion and ambition in life.
