Mornin Mike! Stitches is lookin good buddy! Exciting times

Love it. 👍👍👍

Floored

I am the same way on my 64 Dodge 330.

That is ingenious btw!

Merry Christmas Mike!

Just, socket, do it! 😼 HAPPY HOLIDAYS! ⛄🌟🎄🎁🦌🦌🦌🦌🛷🎅🎍🎆🥂🕛🎉🎊 Stay warm, safe, and healthy. 🤟RAWK!

Floorpans are looking great! I am curious about the suspension. You mention you are getting close to putting it on and getting Stitches off the rotisserie. I was wondering if you are going stock with the suspension, or if you have plans to do something special. What is stock for this car? Leaf springs?. Are you putting in any sort of anti-sway bar? I am also curious about the brakes. Drum? Disk? Both? It will be very educational to see how all of those esencial bits are put back in, and how they act in the performance of the finished vehicle. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Until next time. Make it Safe, Make it Done, 👨‍🔧&🚘 Go Have Fun❣ Stay warm, safe, and healthy. 🤟RAWK!

Another Little bit done. RAWK!!

Another bite done. Looks good Mike.

Looks great in black without rust and structurally superior to stock! Hope you get some Lizard skin for Xmas👍 Malcolm Ottawa Valley

Looks good but what about that hole by the four speed hump?

Looks good Mike. I have been thinking of getting a plasma cutter

Nice Mike!!! The floors look good!! RAWK!!!!

Newbie question - why do you need eye protection when welding but not when using the plasma cutter? Aren't both processes melting metal? Thank you for the work you do on these cars! RAWK!!

I was wondering how you were going to do that. Looks good.

Waterless hand cleaner is a good one, many don't wear gloves such as myself.

As others have said, abrasives! Whether sandpaper, Scotch Brite, sanding disk, or grinding wheels and cutting disks, you will go through them rather quickly, and you can always use a good selection of grits. Also, as mentioned, gloves, masks, and rags or towels. I would also add earplugs and safety glasses depending on if you have high quality ones or the cheap disposable type. Another consumable you didn't mention is welding rod for your welder. With a project like Stitches I am sure you are going through that rather quickly. Body filler is another, at least when doing body work. If your shop has any sort of clean air system filters and bags for it would also be an item. If you are doing a lot of your own wiring, any and all of the items needed for that. Different gauges of wire in different colors. Contacts and connectors of all types, spade terminals and ring terminals and splice connectors, as well as the zip ties you mentioned and some rolls of electrical tape. Ah, yes, tape! Painters tape, duct tape, thread tape, double sided adhesive tape. You can never have enough. As you mentioned a few episodes ago a paint for marking areas of the car that still need work. They sell a marking pen similar to a Sharpie, that you can mark metal with. The type they use in scrap yards to write on cars and parts. Rolls of plastic or paper for covering areas of the car you don't want painted. Rolls of fabric, vinyl, or leather for upholstery and headliners and door panels. Sound deadening for the floorboards. And for the finished car, wax, and other protectants for leather, vinyl, and rubber to keep them from deteriorating, and fading in the sun. On the not consumables list, I would say one of those portable battery chargers and tire inflators that you can have in your vehicle for emergencies. Better than jumper cables. Some also work as a work light, emergency flasher, and allow you to charge your phone. A great product for your car emergency kit. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Until next time.

Abrasives!! Zip blades, sanding discs, etc!!! Also, a great idea is a gift card from literally anywhere tools are sold. RAWK!!!!

Gotta love all these calculations and they are probably good for a starting point but there are too many variables. A stock 350 sbc might only need a 600 cfm carb, start adding better intake, heads, and most importantly cam lift and duration, and you are going to need a bigger carb. There's a lot of carb tuning involved with any sized carb so saying I ran a 750 then replaced it with a 650 and it ran better doesn't really mean much. It only means something if both carbs were really optimized. If you can somehow get to a dragstrip you can actually do some real world testing and find out what works best. I happen to run a 750 Holley double pumper with a 50cc front pumper on a 1968 Camaro 383 sbc chevy engine, automatic with a Vega converter (about 3k stall) 2.05 heads and 538 lift cam - car runs mid 11's (11.62 best so far in 1/4 mile). I wouldn't hesitate to try an 800 cfm and see if it's better after going through some tuning on it. It's the only way I'll truly know.

More tools

Brownells is a firearms supply. You can get kroil there. I found the can, not the aerosol lasts a lot longer.

I like the Northern Tools gray gloves with rubber palms. They’re not something that’s going to protect your hands a lot, but they’ll give a little protection of the ole digits. Another bonus is they’re great in the garden (though after a bunch of compost and manure you’ll not enjoy the smell). Another are the $1 scissors at Harbor Freight. I like those for cutting sandpaper and gasket material. Thanks for the present ideas, and have a great Christmas!

A good pair of leather work gloves.

One other thought as i was just in my shop, latex gloves. I go through a ton of them now that I'm using epoxy.

Depending on the shop and type of work done, sandpaper would be another disposable. I go through a ton of it, because everyone loves sanding! Merry Christmas and RAWK!

Hello, "My KAR's Shop" I was analyzing your channel and saw that in your channel have some problem, That's why your channel is not much growing and not getting much engagement, If you can solve these problems, Your channel will grow like a storm. If you tell I can tell these problems. Where can I tell? Here or ig or where?

Nice Chrysler mate. I’m doing my wiper motor removal/ installation now as well, and I agree about it being a pain in the butt job. I have a 1972Fury, with the 400ci B engine.2bbl Holley it originally came with. All totally original, which is the best way to go, most people say.

A wonderful video. Thanks a lot for making it! :)

I’m trying to catch up! That’s an awesome show of your talent!

Exactly is all one can say. When I see cheap parts, or a bulk pile, I'm in as there's money to be made.

Question for you Mike. If you don't have a sand blaster is a wire wheel an acceptable alternative for cleaning spark plugs? I seem to remember my Dad doing that a few times when he didn't just buy new ones. Do you need to re-gap them after cleaning? Until next time.

Hidden treasures

We have one of those toolboxes in our machine shop at work. Gotta love the old heavy tools and boxes

Great point on the carb sizing!!! That engine likely sees 3500 rpm at the most, a 450 to 500 cfm carb would do great!

Time to lean it out a bit.

Or a broken push rod!? 🤔

I wish my son’s ranger was that simple.

Glad it was something simple.

I never used the choke on my Chevy (600 Holley) it would flood the hell out of it on the coldest day. I've never had one with an electric choke so I can't comment. The old mechanics said #2 is the cold cylinder on a Chevy. Cold water circulates around #2 before the thermostat opens and the cylinder wears more than the rest of the cylinders. It doesn't look like you have a heater so I don't think it can on your car. 2,8,3,and5 run off of the same side of the carb but I think 2 would be closest to the right-side front of the carb. So, the mixture might be a little rich on the right side. I seriously have looked at going away from Holley on some of my projects. (I can't believe I'm saying this.) On a stock Chevy I'd rather have a good Q-jet than a truckload of Holleys. LOL!!! RAWK!!

One more bite!!! Looking good Mike!!!! RAWK!!

With a tap tap here, and a tap tap there. Here a tap, there a tap, everywhere a tap tap! Ole Mike R he has a car. Better watch his show. Until next time. Make it Safe, Make it Done, 👨‍🔧&🚘 Go Have Fun❣ Stay warm, safe, and healthy. 🤟RAWK!

Thanks for the video Mike. Good job and once again I’ve learned something. Keep em coming!

Looking great Mike.
