I wondered why your garage looked different in these older videos. As a fellow midwesterner I understand why you moved to Florida, too humid for me though. Great idea with the bed liner.

Magnets definitely affect weld quality

Remember, only the most real ass car guys do body and paint because they have the testicular fortitude to not lie to themselves and everyone else by saying they wanted or endorse all that “Patina” nonsense !!! 🤣🤣🤣

I love watching all the work you put into details!! Especially fully knowing I’m the exact opposite and will fix it all with Zip Ties 😂

You're welcome LT. I mentioned how I used one on the Aveo Ute roll pan.

Looking great!! 🤙

Well done, another custom panel pretty much done !! If that pinstripe art was a failure I’m sure many would be happy to give it a home 😉

That's filler rod ... it just happens tp look like coat hanger wire ... I was right about the magnets ... 3-5 inches of snow tomorrow ... bet you're missin it ... not ...

challenge for ya hook an air tool to the hose and not hit the trigger lol

Looks amazing, nice work!

The metal in a coat hanger is usually of too inconsistent of quality, making it unreliable for welding and potentially leading to poor weld quality, burn-through, and safety concerns; it's best to use dedicated welding rods designed for the specific welding process you are using.. so that's why using those is bad 😆

That grinder blade has earned its keep! 😂

Nice! I’ve owned a 58 ragtop Beetle for 25 years. I could never own one without it now. People always think they will leak. I’ve driven during storms and not a drop of water comes in. One thing I that might be different about the VW design is that the top pulls down to the roof as it is closed towards the front. My roof also has a raised lip pressed into it at the front of the hole. But, it stays dry because the water just goes down the sides of the top into the rain gutters. This looks like a pretty good kit, because they have to replicate all the added structures that an OE rag has. It’s just as complicated as any add on kit. My car also requires holes in the roof, multiple track pieces, plastic sliders, etc. What I like about your kit is that it was already curved. THAT is what keeps water out. Also, the hook and handle design is exactly like my car. I grew up in the 80’s and my dad owned a Chevy Luv for the entire decade. Lots of memories

Do you have any footage of your dash build? Trying to figure out how I should install my 56 in my76 Toyota build. Weld, clip or bolt it in, haven't figured it out yet. Love your videos they push me to be motivated on my build lol.

As a Ford guy who's into really old steel and unconventional engines, this particular episode didn't have much for me. However... I'm REALLY digging this project and your channel. I like your overall style & presentation, and as for the project, well, a 70s Chevy Luv is not at all something I would expect to like, but I really like the slammed stance, suicide doors, & 3x2 setup. You're doing really cool things with an uncommon platform. Super cool.

Those little things that take time. Those little things that often get neglected. Glad to see you accomplishing things on your truck. One step closer bud. 🫶🏻🫡

As a man who’s been a gentleman’s club Dj for over 20 yrs, I still to this day will never understand why women have and use as much hair spray as much as they do.. just throw curlers in it ! Leave the dam crusty chemicals alone ! Know what I’m saying ??? 🤣

you will LOSE your bolts if they are too LOOSE....

Slowly getting closer to the finish.

I was just workin on my TV cable ... they have to be pretty precise ... I have to change the filter in the case so I can set the off throttle setting by lookin at the plunger in the inside ... it's supposed to be just touchij the plunger at rest ... then bottomed out at exactly full thottle ... the factory cables have that slide adjustment like the 350 cable does so it self adjusts ... I'm likin all the mods you made ... very tastful ... by the way ... 30 below chill factor up here tonight ... again ... consider yourself lucky ...

LT gets his moneys worth out of a grinder blade! lol😂

Loving your channel and your builds! Nothing better than a home built, hot rod or custom car! SUBBED! Binge watching your channel now 👍 Thanks for sharing brother See u on the next vid. ARCO MN OUTLAW CUSTOMS Big Falls Minnesota U.S.A 👊🏻

Love the Luv. Great stuff

Came to learn how to skin door handles stayed because this guy is cool af

my buddy did a step side in the 80s,extended cab with 2 cabs. full roll bar,ford 9inch 4 link rear disc. 350 with a 4sp, some kinda trick hydraulic clutch. hand built flares,old enkie gold center wheels. same red as this,i have 1 or 2 pics of it.

The pedal turned out good! I'm going to need to shorten all of mine up soon they are way to close to the carpet, This might be a better solution !

Wish you well brother. Imma pay you to edit my videos 🤣😂🤣

Great video as always! Shout out to my buddy at classic minitrucks coming in with the stickers. He's a good guy for sure, known him for years.

Another great episode... please tell me the throttle pedal itself wasnt bolted to the studs tight...lol.. those cables make it easy ( er)

Office space and a Chevy luv.. best channel out there

Yes !!! Absolutely !!! Break the internet and build a lowrider T bucket !!! 13” wires !!! Velour guts !!! Chainlink steering wheel !!! 250 straight 6 polished out ! Every non factory chrome accessory possible !!! You’ll literally have people stalking you for you’re downfall but it’d be the best content ever !!!

So are you fixing yard art or building another car ? Hmmmm ???😎

That was quite the job to get the throttle all set up.

We always call those "Jesus" clips ... everytime you tried to install one it went flying and then you yelled ... JESUS ... gonna be single diget chill factor tonight up here ... consider yourself lucky ...

LT out there getting it done!

watching your upload and opening my gift of balls thanks man much appreciated... one is purple thats my gf's favorite color awesome!!

I'm a bit behind because of the holidays. Missed out on the ornaments but I've been loving my new hoodie out in the shop working on my stuff! Keep up the progress bro.

Ever notice those magnets draws the arc from the weld ... I like the striped ornaments ... good video ... 9 dgrees up here in Fitchburg this morning ...

Thumbs up for nofx

Happy Thanksgiving bro. The wife and I just watched this. Just ordered some ornaments, missed out on being greedy and buying all 16. We did snag 7. Can’t wait

I liked the Benchmark since I first tried them. They were a lot better than the HF ones. But then @garagefab (I think) mentioned those Cubitrons and those are my go to now. Lately, @puddinsfabshop has been less than impressed with the Benchmark stuff, so I wonder if they changed something?

Thanks LT for the roll lock ideas. Your the man...

Two questions if you please LT. Are those trophies all over your shop from skate boarding or cars ? And how many years have you got into this build ?

Excellent tip about squaring the round pad! Never thought of that but makes perfect sense

my parnets are down for thanksgiving .......i was like hey dad remember LT he was like yeah im like watch thus!!!

I like to use my dremil with a tapered stone for the tight spots. Although if I had a bigger compressor i would do it just like you did. I learned a long time ago no wrong or right way. Just got to keep at it till something works. Looks great LT.
