Didn’t think you’d recognize me with the full beard. 🧔‍♂️

I was surprised at how much I liked the white variants.

I’m subbed to both those channels too!

Still looks great. Though it’s been parked outside that entire time, due to space constraints in the garage right now. I think I’ll do it again and put a little heavier coat on, let it sit longer before wiping it dry and see if the shine holds a little longer.

We ended up clear coating it with Summit Hot Rod Satin. We know VGG just licensed his name to Poppy’s Patina, but at this point we wouldn’t trust any of their products. We have however had very good success using Sweet Patina Sauce on the 47 Chevy.

NNKH is one I frequent, wouldn’t put it top of the list, but I’ve enjoyed more than a few of his videos. Thanks for the encouragement!

I looked it up later and I believe you’re right, though the name makes more sense for a 1/2 ton with a bed instead of a dump box.

Thanks for the feedback Gary. It’s always a challenge to boil down 3-4 hours of raw footage to 30-50 minutes and make it engaging, entertaining, and watchable. We’re not a “how-to” channel, so we do limit footage of just turning a wrench and prefer the banter between me and K8lynn alongside of the humor and curiosity of figuring it out as we work through a project. Still, your perspective is valuable to us and we’ll take it under consideration for future episodes. Would more detailed “how-to” videos be more engaging for you?

Thanks Joel, how close are you to Spearfish, SD? Spent some time there in HS.

I’m not sure where they are, never watched them.

Both on my subs feed. Good stuff.

I will check it out

You are so welcome!

Hope you enjoyed it!

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Any chance you’re living at Missionary Acres?

Yup. 😀

I’ve been there several times. Tell Ken hello from Steve! He’ll know who I am.

Glad to hear it! We can’t please everybody, but we sure appreciate hearing when we make someone smile.

Sounds like my kinda channel.

Right you are! Already taken care of.

Better yet, It's mandated to be printed on the dash of the cockpit...right in front of the passenger. lol

Like watching sleeperdude

@@Xthreadgarage that’s kinda uncomfortable 😜

Man, I’m sorry to hear this.

It’s sat on Kelly’s Island, Lake Erie for 50 years. That explains the rust. The pedals are not worn out, at all. Never seen a truck over 100k with like new clutch pedal. The truck moved dirt and mulch each summer, hundreds of slides in and out of the seat each week, while only driving a few miles each summer.

I don’t not love the double-negative my English teacher didn’t never tell me to use.

We did walk down that road, but the issue ended up being bad remanned starters. Been running great for months now. No starter issues.

Banging on it wouldn’t have fixed this issue. Starter was bad and replaced in a later video.

Man, that stinks. I’m increasingly convinced they’re headed towards some sort of class action suit for false advertising. There are a lot, and I mean a lot, of guys with the same results as we had.

Here's a little update since last night. I went ahead and put on a second coat and it is noticeably better. It still isn't perfect and I may put a third or fourth coat on, but it is definitely better than the first coat. I didn't sand between coats, I just reapplied after 24 hours. I'll let you know how it ends up

I’d be interested in seeing pics. Hit us up on Facebook or Instagram. @xthreadgarage. Thanks.
