Thanks man! Sorry for the delay. We got behind schedule last week. 😎

You haven’t missed much. I can come back to the channel two months later and he’s started another two or three projects without finishing a single one. I’ve come to the conclusion he’s just curious how things are assembled.

Me too! 😄This one should be up and running soon! =)

hahha! =) its all good!

Yes, I'm looking at them now...they aren't cheap...

Yes, it's bit tricky getting those rusty bolts out. Love these old trucks! =)

Exactly

😅👍 He looking for another project as I write this comment.

This is the 3rd F250 on this channel. The first one was a 1972 F250 my brother and I pulled out of south Georgia about 7 years ago. I replaced the carb, distributor, brakes, exhaust, tires, etc...ran and drove great. Lots of videos on that one. The Swamp Dragon had some issues that might not be worth bringing back money wise at this time but we can use some of those parts on this one like the engine! =) ....This one "Big Reg" or "Red Dragon" will be up a running soon. Stay tuned!

@@CTmoog Wait... Are you saying the Swamp Dragon is dead? No chance of finishing? I've been waiting for so long to see it come back. Major disappointment if this is true.

You’re joking right?

I still have it. Trying to get a title for it so I can drive it around a bit. Needs a few things but it's basically done and ready for the road.

I have mutable videos on rebuilding the vw front beams. I hope those help. Good luck on your project.

@@CTmoog yeah. I know what I gotta do. Just don’t wanna do it cuz taking out the leaves and replacing them is a hassle.😆

Thanks 👍

Thanks man! 👍

Thanks my friend! =)

Over 40 videos in the playlist on the 65 beetle - check it out =) more to come www.youtube.com/@CTmoog/playlists

Thanks for watching! =)

yes, it's nice if you can one with less rust but they tend to be a bit more expensive. This one is going to clean up real nice.

Thank you! good idea! I will order them this week.

Thank you! =) I really appreciate that.

Thank you! Yes, if it's still good I might use it. It gets hot here in Florida! =)

Will end up as a parts truck, for someone else.

The heart of the Swamp Dragon will live on in the Red Dragon! =) F360 built & ready to install/ Stay tuned! =)

@@CTmoog I was correct swamp Dragon will a parts truck for you, or someone else.

Hey man! Thanks for checking in! I've been busy working on this Ford FE 360 engine and I have a 2.0 Type 4 engine that Darrin build. Working on that as well. I should have an update video out soon.

@@CTmoog cool cannot wait 👍stay cool CT😎

He made video.

there are a few suppliers. google "F100 body bolt kit" . cjpony, lmc, Dennis Carpenter to name a few.

Thanks man! =)

If the so called "pro restorers" just got on it, they could often finish a project in a month. It all boils down to two things: proper equipment in a spacious shop and the application of man hours. Of course, I'm assuming a high level of actual talent as well. Best wishes! - Max Giganteum

it's in the swamp! =)

Tim, the beetle is basically done. The first drive video was uploaded months ago. Did you not see it?

I don't think I saw it? Will go back and watch it

I guess I did watch it😊. Love it so much I guess I just want more

@@CTmoogI think he asked when you are getting back to it. It’s not finished, just like everything else. Your content is fun to watch but it does get extremely frustrating when you don’t finish anything. It’s constantly bouncing around with no completion and your subscribers have shared their frustration. I have unsubscribed now as well. Best of luck to you CT

​@64KarmannGhia Well said.

Yes, it might. I'm going to pull the Swamp Dragon's frame out of the swamp and clean it up. It might work! =) good idea!

@@CTmoog ive been scratching my head it should work it would look cool also the dragon was a camper to i figured i ask CT. stay cool👍💯⚡

haha! no....that was my brother's car. he sold it last year.

Why are you removing the body? Do you need to replace the floor pans? If you need to remove the body to work on the chassis it helps if you remove the glass, bumpers and doors to remove the weight. You can lift up one end at a time and use a jack to get it off the frame. You may need to remove the seats to give you move clearance to move the chassis out of the way. It helps if you have a friend or two as well to lift the body of the chassis.

@@CTmoog Floor pans and everything else needs redone. I want to do a full chassis restoration like you did and keep the body patina like you do :) I've been studying cars for a few years now and think I'm ready to begin.

Thanks buddy! =)

Thanks buddy! =) it's all good. I have thick skin! =)

apparently you didn't watch the 65 beetle series...hahah...Let's do it! =) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brtlocSH2LvalXk.html

@@CTmoog I don't need to watch your Beetle series. I was interested in the 914 restoration. But you just can't go any further because you keep starting new projects without finishing the old projects. Read through the many other comments. This bothers not only me, but also many others. You don't seem to care though ha...ha...ha

James, I know you've been here a long time. This is my 3rd F250 project. It's going to be awesome! Stay tuned! =)

I'm keeping this one long. It's a work truck not race car. I will buy a factory short bed project soon and spice it up a bit. Stay tuned! =)
