Yup sound deadener makes for a far quieter car. And easy to put in while the quarter is off. Nearly impossible later. The factory used a spray on material similar to 3m shutz

I wouldn't build it for anyone else just due to liability reasons. It's fit for my purpose but may not be for someone else.

Awesome. If I come up with anything to give you I'll drop it off with my friend over at Xenia hotel close to where waffle House used to be. We havent bought our plane tickets but are getting close. Late September. Holding off cause one of our cats has had some issues and want to make sure he is ok. We never did the sun beds we usually get an ATV and check out the villages etc. I want to stay in mountsaona or somewhere else this time. My friend lives on the north end of the island 300 meters from the water and may stay up there instead. No plans till we get plane and ferry tickets. Prices are much lower this year.

@@theinfernalcraftsman We are real beach bums. We always stay in Prokopios. We have been here about 10-12 times in 22 years, but only ever rented a car once, for one day, and drove up the north , then north to south down the middle of the island and back up the coast to Prokopios. We do tend to take the bus to Chora one time each visit. We did that a couple of days ago :)

@RotarySMP There is a cool corundum mine in Koronos that is wide open. Just walk in. I'll see if I can find an email for you and send pics . Lots of cool places to go on the island.

@@RotarySMP Couldn't find an email for you. Send me one on my channel name and I'll send you a link with the pics of the places around the island we go to. The hike up to Zeuses cave is a tough hike for us old folks. The first time we walked from the bus stop in town down the wrong road then up to the caves. I can't make that hike anymore.

@@theinfernalcraftsman Where the hell have YT hidden our email addresses? they used to be on the channel "about" page, but that is gone, then there was a "business inquiry" button, and that is gone.

Ford. You just use 2 short axles from the explorer. This rear was bought primarily for the 3.42 gears and the short axle.

Wow! Thanks!

Awesome. They are often not removed. There are two different gaskets for them. A leather one and a rubber type one they used. It's a question of which do you trust more to not leak. I'm Ok with either style.

@@theinfernalcraftsman I honestly don’t remember which ones I used. I would tend to believe I would have went with the rubber ones, but not sure.

Made them up out of thin air. All just a guess on what I thought would work. Now I wish it was a little higher for working underneath but then would be too high to work on the top .

Thanks. Sadly I didn't start filming until later in the project. I wish I had filmed when I replaced everything forward of the firewall including the floor supports.

US made just a easy to miss alignment issue when it was jigged for welding. It's a nice heavy piece and looking forward to getting the car off the body cart and on the ground.

Maybe

Awesome. I'm a big fan of the m12 stuff too. Even my oldest stuff still works though I did wear out my first impact driver. It works but not as well. And my first batteries are still usable at well over 5 years old

Thanks. The Insta360 ace would be primarily what I'd be looking at buying but I have decided not to invest in another camera as there is no return on investment for me.

@@theinfernalcraftsman totally get it. I only have an insta360 because it's my bikes dash cam in case some lunatic decides today is a good day to hit a cyclist.

@@dakel20 Definitely worth it for that. I used to ride allot many years ago and got both our bikes out and cleaning them up etc as she wants to start riding on the trail system again. I won't ever be on the roads on one again though.

The bolt holes in the deck lid were stripped just enough that they seemed ok but on the 3rd time hanging it up one pulled out and the other went as well. No short cuts it's common practice to hang panels on far flimsier stands.

Thanks. Depends on how long the camera and my patience filming and editing lasts.

No worries. I will encourage him... or else! 😛

Oh those little things just don't like me. But as much as I complain about them they really do an excellent job of staying in place. Just not fun for the next guy.

Been running like new ever since. That said it was so dry last year I only cut twice. Already 4 times this year and it starts immediately every time. I often use it more for moving the trailer around than actually mowing. I do need an air ride seat for it since my yard is rough enough that it sends painful shocks up my spine every sip and bump. I have the tires as low as I can put them

@@theinfernalcraftsman I"m gonna start on my today probably, hopefully be as easy as yours was.

@@ronniewortham3260 Awesome. I wasn't really planning to record it when I did it so... And I didn't show it running because of the weather at the time and other constraints. The point of the video was to show it being done. Now I need to do some mods to it as I really wish it had more power. I replaced all but one of the pulleys recently because the sand I have ruins bearings very fast. One pulley is a royal pain to get to and fortunately it wasn't making much noise.

Drivers side ones are a pain. There are around 4 different ones on the market and some of them are anywhere up to 3/8" longer than the original one. The Dynacorn one and Muscle Car GT ones are the best. But it's often hard to find out what brand you are being sent.

The 67 is about 3" wider at the mod to top of door area. Same floor pan though. I don't know exactly how high it was but if I were to do an educated guess the ponchweld was around 36" off the floor. There are the dimensions of the pivot points in a comment I left for another and you can use that to roughly calculate the flange height. I still had way more than enough room. A 67 wouldn't have really been any different on it from my perspective.

The last time this car was registered was in 82 or so. And I think they were probably jacked in there in the 70s by someone who smoked allot and had friends that did too. It is not allowed in or near anything we own.

Awesome. I appreciate it. I'm not the best at videos though. My goal is to just put out information for others to go off of and to put my rants about things in here and there. That paint store is jam packed full of inventory. Next time I make a trip up there I'm going to ask if they mind if I film inside. They also ship from their website as well. There will be some El Camino content in the near future. I'm hoping to get it over here soon. It's been stored at my parents for way too many years... It'll be a paint some mech work and get it sold.

I was also trying to come up with a way that those could be enlarged for speakers. Bad location for speakers but a thought.

That's very true. I also like to troll the purists that like everything original too. Thanks It was just a grab this i think it'll look ok kind of a deal. Yes it's 2:40am... It's soaking humid and the windows are open and I can't sleep. Won't get a good night sleep till winter when I can hibernate.

I'll have to do some looking and figure out where those things came from. But really someone needed 2 in the back seat... That said if it wasn't done so badly I would convert them to USB power ports. Thanks I'm pretty happy with how the color turned out.

Thanks. The only sample of the color I had was the one they have at the store and I figured it was close enough and went with it.

If I find a deck lid I'll post it in the community section. Will be around morning to mid day Friday if I find one there.
