They were only new once. Fixing and restoring as much as we can without turning them into new high tec, electronic beasts is for me. Restoring patina is quite challenging this show was a perfect example. I did one with all new everything including paint all work no fun, and now got 3 patinas going even my daily driver that plows snow and pulls out tree stumps while getting over 20 MPG. They are so challenging to make them reliable, correcting the faults like places where water wants to cause rust again, yet not destroying the natural looks is quite interesting. Giving them great fuel mileage, disc brakes, safety and reliability is a must. I overlap the floor panels over the rocker seams stopping the most vulnerable area for rot to start. Modify the fuel systems, and I'm now working on a fuel filler system that uses the stock fuel filler by the driver's door and fills the rear-mounted tank. Keep em coming.

Outstanding, I appreciate your videos, much like you, I try to repair things on my truck as inexpensively as possible.

Looking to get a little information on refurbishing my grill for my 1972. Somebody had a front end accident with it and put a 1969 grill a friend told me to just cut out the inside of the tin, smooth it out, and then buy a new honeycomb with a bowtie and it should look great, and it did! But trying to gather a few new tips on your channel I couldn’t help the notice your delivery on your comments. I am a big fan of vice grip garage and I don’t know if you are good friends with him or if you come from the same area but you have emphasized the word perfect. PERFECT in the manner that Derek uses it. Also used clickety-clack which is a very common term that Derek uses. Please clarify because I do think that you have plenty of things to offer to help people. I just am a big fan of intellectual property.

I like your videos! 👍 I didn’t think about using a small screwdriver for JB Weld. Lol. I use pop cycle sticks on small jobs and tongue depressors on bigger jobs. I’m sure you can save a bunch of pop cycle sticks with 3 girls. Lol. You can pick them up at the dollar store cheap.

What I do is stick a small wooded wedge. And then fill the crack. And then release it, and you should pick up some, what we call grip clips small med. And large ones

That turned out nice. Love reusing old junk!!!

Somebody should mention, if you buy several types or brands of paint and primer cans and other products. "Krylon" does not always play well with others. Lifting, or reaction can result, it can be solved by getting all the same brand or bringing a magnifying glass to read the fine print. But automotive finishes turn out best with supplies from the automotive paint supply. A grille is out front in the sun and driving rain, dusty conditions, and driving behind other vehicles. To me, it's worth a little expense to get a pro quality durable paint and shoot it once. I did this for some headlight buckets on a T-bird, mid 80's. The chosen paint lasted longer and looked better than Henry did.

I have a 72 c20. These videos have been really helpful. Thank you.

I've permanently fixed many things with J B weld . I guessed it before you said it. Wife laughed ! Still have that 67 for sale . We stopped work on old farmhouse, unfortunately.

Another great video. I enjoy and can hardly wait for the next one. Keep up the great work.

Looks great Chad.

Always love your work !

E6000 may be a really good glue to try out.

I basically did it with primer and clear coat gray primer and clear coat

Saludos desde Mexico, digo tus videos y son de mucha utilidad , tengo un c50 1971 y ojalá pudieras subir un video donde pudiéramos saber qué partes de c10 son compatibles con c50 porque es muy complicado para mi conseguir repuestos para mi c50 saludos

Nice!
