Hello, "216 Auto Restoration" 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?

Sorry about the low volume on these videos, I'm just using an Iphone to record, so I need to remind myself to speak up!! Thank you for watching and Take Care, Toby

You need to speak louder or get a better mic. Your voice just doesn't carry. Great subject though.

That’s funny the owner and I were discussing some of that history, with the sting, Ray being two words before 68, and one word after 68, I never really followed up on that theory?? good luck with your project and I hope my videos are helping in someway. Thanks for watching, Take care Toby.

My buddy recommended it for me, and it was a really good deal. I’ve been really happy with the machine. Thanks for watching, take care, Toby

Great videos. I'm at the same spot in my 68 restoration. BTW the 68 brochure actually calls the car a stingray, that's the only place I've ever seen it

Just wondering why you went with the maverick and not the Defender limited.

If you put a "long" hood on it , it will flare up on the corners nearest the windshield . I believe you can order the 2 parts to match from dynamic corvettes. Also not sure how good the hood latches will fit a long hood.

thanks for the videos. At 15:10 you said you'll add a tiny layer of bondo on the rear valance gaps. Are you going to eliminate the gaps completely are you talking about just making the gaps tighter?

Very good job with this series of videos I’m feeling confident now after watching you show how you did it to try and tackle this myself thank you and please post up some of your trail rides for us

Thank you for making this video it’s been a great help

👍

Thanks again. Good info. My kit came with a shutoff valve. Which line does it go on? The line to the lower or upper section of the heater? Instructions don’t say anything about the shutoff valve?

Thank you for the videos. Super helpful and will start my install tomorrow on my commmander. Instructions are the same I think

Use less hardener. It'll still cure, but gives you a longer working time. Takes a little experimenting, but it's really nice not having to be in a rush applying.

Can barely hear you half the video

Looking good keep up the good work.... I had a 69 wish I still had it. Needed a whole front clip which I had. Just didn’t have a place to work on it. A young mans dream.

Nothing wrong with plastic filler on fiber glass

Hey so are you just doing a paint job or are you restoring the entire car? Fiberglass cars are all designed to have their paint coats removed by strippers. Just because you can sand one down doesn’t mean that’s how it’s actually done professionally. :) I’m doing an 81 with at least 16 to 20 coats and 4 color changes on top of one another. Black blue yellow and gold. So stripping one chemically is how you dont get into having to do fiberglass repairs. Yet you appear already there and now you will need to do them? If you lay laminate on top of what you have now it will just have to be sanded again to get down to level. You won’t want to do layers of fiberglass on top surfaces. If you are too thin in places I’d think you would build and repair it from under the layers. However, if you are gonna lay layers of fiberglass on top, you’ve got to take it down those layers plus one before you lay on top to keep from being too high. So in other words, you don’t want to do that because of the amount of work involved you would want to use a material like filling cracks or holes. Like structural fiberglass repair material. And you would use it just like you would be using plastic filler on a metal car.. only it’s 3 times stronger. And adheres to fiberglass. Anyway, I’m no expert. I’m still learning but if the fiberglass is strong, your repairs aren’t needing to be made with fiberglass cloth they’re gonna be made with just resin and fiberglass material that is structurally strong and can be sanded like plastic fillers when you go to block that surface out. But also, I’m not here to tell you how to do what you’re doing. I’m only here to suggest and maybe understand your process and thoughts a bit better. God knows that you have the ability to do the process however, you see fit right or wrong. But it is such a formidable task that and such a time-consuming one at that. I don’t want you to do something that is incorrect if you can find a better way. And for all I know you are doing it the best way you know how but perhaps we can talk and exchange ideas since I’m basically doing the same thing you are except I am chemically stripping mine and softening up the paints that I can actually scrape them off with a razor scraper , taking it down to the fiberglass and removing all four coats at once. and I’m not getting into fiberglass at all because that’s just gonna create a lot more blocking and sanding. Anyway it would be cool to talk with you. And share our journey. If you get a chance Find me on Facebook. Rick Bell Lewisville Texas. And in Regard to more videos keep em coming. Take some shots of you actually working maybe in time lapse. Viewers like to see the actual work. Even if they skim through the video and just pick out the highlights. Also what sander do you use. Rand of sandpaper and tools and materials along with way. And regardless no matter what people say here just keep going. They saying is how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!

I had one rebuilt the whole car drove like a stagecoach I am loaded that piece of crap

On the sail panel, did it separate and that how you joined it together?

Nice work, I’ll be following your progress

hes just thirsty

Did you do a clutch kit? Any loss of power or rubbing?

If you have any desire to do a video on how to adjust the shocks that would be cool!

Looks good Billy. Damm Good!!

Never been love be there my wife went many times beutiful

I was analyzed your channel by hard working, And I saw that in your channel have much problems that's why your channel is not growing. The main matter is your videos is not reaching to targeted peoples, if you can fix these problems, channel will grow, videos will get more views, if you allow me I can tell these problems here!

I’ve got a 2021 Sport Max. Love it. 2800 miles with the stock Bighorns and no issues. That being said, I’ve chosen to go with some bigger Carnivores just like you. I need to weigh the Bighorns and compare them to the Carnivores. Thinking I might just do 30s instead of the 32s to save weight. Think I’m going to go with a 5+2 offset. Heard I’d need to run like a 1inch spacer on the rear to get all the tires to track the same. Decisions, decisions!

It's call restoration, some wear and tear you can fix it , most floor boards are rotted out.

Make it fly again brother

Given the opportunity I'd be one of those guys myself.

Thank you for the video. Great info. Was there another grid between 1500 and 3000? Or just 1500, 3000, 5000?

You could hand buff after 5000, if you wanted to.

You need different lug nuts, if the wheels aren't tapered they're a lug centric wheel and you need a shanked lug nut.

So, after a few rides with the new tires, I definitely can feel some power loss, mostly on the top end, but all across the entire midrange also. but I don't really use top speed very often or at all, but I think I am going to look into the dyno jet tuner, or Dalton clutch kit, to help the machines overall performance, and help with belt wear.

My stock lug nuts worked with this wheel, I went for an 80 mile ride and checked them every time we stopped, and there were no issues with them, they all were tight throughout the ride.

Looking at the same tire setup for my sport max, do you have a clutch kit or is the stock clutching feel ok?

A little constructive feedback. Instead of 10 short videos for one job perhaps make 5 videos… This minute long video seems silly and can be included with another clip. The problem is KZbin auto plays the next video and it’s not the next video in this series, It’s random.. Therefore when the video stops, I have to open the app or find my remote control, go back to your playlist and figure out which video to click on next (the title is cut off because your titles are really long and a large amount of people watch KZbin on their phones or a TV, so I don’t know what to click next b/c of the title, perhaps put the video part # first in the title) So maybe in the future, save yourself the headache of uploading a video that’s only a minute long and incorporate it with the other ones you already have. Either way great job capturing everything on camera!

Great video! Not a lot of good content on the Maverick Sports 🔥

I’m confused. If you bought your own thermostat valve and it didn’t come with the kit, why was it in the box with the kit? I also don’t understand why it’s necessary or what its function is. Does that go in place if the heater shut off valve between the Y fittings and the heater? In other words, what’s the difference of just using the supplied T-fittings and letting coolant flow?
