We Saved THOUSANDS! Fixing Mr. Jones' Face | Radiator Support Rebuild

- Опубликовано: 10 окт 2024
- We decided instead of searching for weeks for a non rotted radiator support or spending thousands on a mint one ready to bolt in, we would repair ours. Only one side needed extensive repair and for a fraction of the cost it was worth it!

Watching your videos is EXTREMELY inspirational to me ! I have 3 68 442's , 2 of them are W-30's. The rust repair you are doing is the same that I need to attack. I really like the way you go after this with the most basic of tools, NOTHING FANCY !! You sir are giving me the inspiration to tackle mine. I would REALLY like to talk with you one on one about your knowledge on the W cars with what knowledge I have .
Well good evening to you. What a cool comment to get!
Us? Inspiring ? woah..... That's great stuff! Regarding the work your cars need, I say go ahead and get after it!! and yes of course, I would LOVE to hear about your
W-30's!!!!!
Feel free to send us an email anytime and we can take it from there. - The address is listed there in the video descriptions.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and to leave such a great comment.
Hope to hear from you soon,

Good job! A core support is a part we took for granted for a long time. All the junkyard 69's have long ago been turned into Toyota's so finding a nice donor part is tough.
Thank You. You're not even kidding. I have personally thrown away core supports better than this one over the years. Heck I've even sold and/or donated ones that I would be happy to save and keep in stock now!!
Thanks for watching and for playing along.
Have a Happy Labor Day.

That core support tells the same story as my car!!!
W-Machine, 1969, OAI, 3.42 gears, and there is so much detail, the seals, the olive coloured clips holding the tar cloth? shrouds, all the electrical, hod release with the small white bushing, headlight buckets, so much to get right!!!
My core support went for sandblast and powder coat and didn’t have any rust at all :-) (no “black-smith-er-ie” needed :-))
Well good morning Ryan. Yeah there's the old saying... "the devil is in the details" Fun stuff!!!!
Lots more to go on this thing but this was a big step. Thanks so much for watching this one.
-steve
@@theautorefinery your killing it!!
That is so great to hear (read) Thanks for hangin' in there with us!
-steve / joe
I've always wanted to see an in depth video of this. Been saving fubared core supports
Well good morning. How many do you have? I wish I had some of the ones I had gotten rid of !!
Thanks for watching!!
Have a great Labor Day!

@theautorefinery Hey, good morning. This is Rob ( guy with the same color 442 as Mr. Jones) I have a few heavily rusted 69 core supports. I repaired one using a core support from a 70 Olds 98 & sectioned pieces. Another time, I hacked up a 71 core support to repair a 69. I agree with you. They are outrageous in price.
"There is no possible way, that I or you can make, this, worse...There is nothing to lose". Speaking facts---love it--sage advice!
Ha . Thanks for taking the time to watch and to play along!.
It's been the basis of my logic throughout much of this project I guess. So far, so far so good.!
until next time.....

I make short section an inches wide just like channel shape you got as there which is MUCH easier than a long one I take it to the metal fab guys the guy who does the bends duplucates my shape just like it in no time for 16 and heavier its so worth it for a great patch.Hes done replacement rocker parts for me by same method they got the long expensive huge brake I will never own.
Thanks for watching. We appreciate you taking the time.
I'm always looking for more tools and equipment and now a large brake is on the list more than ever for sure.
Happy Labor Day.
-steve
I love the fab work, its why i keep coming back. Great job!
wow! That's terrific !! Thanks very much for the compliment.
we appreciate your continued support.
-steve
Steve I think it looks great I would be so proud of that if I ever did it.
Good morning Keith. Thanks man. I really appreciate that. It was fun in challenging kind of way. Now to work over the rest of it.
Enjoy your Labor Day.
