Quick job

Those tires are directional.

Often with those old rust buckets, the floors and body mounts are also rusted to shit. The last thing you need is the seat going through the floor while driving.

Been there done that Tony,I use wax paper instead of plastic

You need another wheel for a spare tire in case you get a flat. Or are you taking a puncture repair kit with you or not anticipating getting a flat tire?

I had not heard the term "walking beam" so I had to look it up on Google. But I am familiar with this type of suspension setup to keep the wheels on the ground. It's pretty much the only way to do a dual axle trailer.

If you can't buy them, build them! Nice wheels mods, Tony.

FITZEE where do you find time with all your got going , an pretty snazzy trick with jack !

Great video. Keep up the great work.

Clever Job Tony 😁

Neat project, Tony.

Another great video "Fitzee on low budget build" . I love them. Do you think that was easier or better than re drilling the hubs to a 4 bolt pattern?

In Germany you go to prison for that!! But very well solved 😊

Good job

Nice Work. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸

That was a cool vid!

A man after my own heart, I just like making stuff. I get why do you want that all the time but when you make or repair something it's a different story lol👍

Hi Tony, this is a great solution, like how you make things work out with simple tools. Cheers 👍💪✌

Fitzee everybody seems to like the tyre bead breaker, reckon you should do a How to ...on the bead breaker for all us D.I.Y guys...and as always Tips were Great

The Gorilla Cart at Princess Auto on sale did pretty well as a walking beam trailer. Bent the spindle rescuing two broken quads with our last good quad coming from DEEP in the BC wilderness no fault of the trailer though, we had no choice but to get out. Bought another and welded reinforcements to the spindle. I'm guessing yours will be much stronger....and less money. Curious to see what you come up with. Good idea replacing the centres of the rims!

Nice!

Rust Bro, is heading your way. it would be good to see a couple Canadian icons together talking shop.

Love the bead breaker, now on my To Do list!

In 3+ years of watching your channels, this is the 1st time I've seen you use a plasma cutter. I would love to see an episode on using a plasma cutter. I've thought about buying one on many occasions. Have just never pulled the trigger.

Fitzee, do you use Slime Sealant in your tires to prevent flats ?

Great work!

"Nothing fancy." Looks good from where I'm setting 😂 Looking forward to the rest of the build, Tony.

Nice project Tony. Manhandling those tyres back on the rims looked like a work-out😆

Looking forward to part two so we can see how you are going to make this trailer.

Did you put two tires with the tread arrow facing one way and two with the tread arrow facing the other way? I couldn't quite see on the video.

Why cut out the trike wheel centers? Just lay the 5 hole centers on the inside of the trike wheels, weld them in place, and drill out the 5 holes., then grind out the steel of the trike wheels just enough to make room for the lug nuts?

It's unfortunate that you couldn't have knocked the studs out of the hub and re-drilled the hub for four studs, but I could see that was not possible because the center holes in the rims you want to use are not big enough to fit over the hub. It would have been a better way to go if it had been possible.

This should be a fun build to watch. Can hardly wait for the next one.

I remember you made that bead breaker 8 months ago and at the time, I was thinking I would make one myself, but of course other things came up and I forgot about it. But it's a very useful device and I have to get around to making one of my own when I get time. I already have this type of jack and bits and pieces, so I should have everything I need to make it.

The homemade bead breaker is absolutely genius! Great tips and tricks as always Tony.

It's a really good idea to collect "junk" that might be useful to store for future projects. I do the same. Anytime I see something at the local Tip Shop that I think might be of use for making something, I grab it and store it. Then when it comes time to work on a particular project, I usually have all or most of the materials I need for it.

Never enough room in a shop. My friend has a ramp like that but he has a 1 1/2 stall garage. I have a 4 post lift which works okay for me.

Very nice it was relaxing just watching it. Beautiful scenery all the way round. Thanks for sharing

I'm in the middle of a frame/powertrain swap on my 54 Fleetline, I'm putting it on a 78 Buick Lesabre frame and powertrain. It has the 307 engine and 4 speed automatic trans in it, I'm not building a 8 second car or a torque monster, I'm building a daily driver hot rod that I can still have fun with on the weekends. I'm not spending a ton of money on it, in fact I'm hoping to speed less than $2000 on it and use as many parts I have laying around the shop to get it built. I choose the Lesabre for the frame and power train because it's almost spot on with the wheel base, The fleetline is 115" and the Lesabre is 115.4 inches, when you split it between the front and back it's less than a 1/4" off, I'll take that all day long.

Do I have a tip for you. Put the wheel on the car and put it in gear with the wheel in the air. Use the car as a lathe to polish the edge of the wheel. I done this and it works great.

My entire gig in mid Michigan is doing budget rust repairs on (mostly) trucks. Peoole who can't afford collision collision shop prices. So I take these salt damged vehicles, cut out the rust, weld in cab corners with the bed on(figured out how to do that ane have it come out ok) . Lot of wheel arch panels. Rockers, rockers, and more rockers. Tap down welds, fiberglass fill the seams. I pick up a lot from your videos even tho a lot of your work is more restoration and more precise than the daily driver budget junk I am doing. But i'm helping people out in these inflationary times, and they are happy to find someone willing to do the dirty work on the cheap(compared to collision shops) . I appreciate your craft and all he videos👍👍👍

Glad to see the vests and did you happen to know the water temperature?

Awesome day on the water. beautiful scenery all along the coast . Thanks for sharing that with us.

Wow, what a beautiful area you have there! Down here on the weekend you can practically jump from one boat to the next( long Island sound). There are fish I guess but they tell you not to eat to many because of mercury. And you have a beautiful shoreline too, here it is lined with huge houses that are basically vacation homes. I have a longtime customer that owns one and they had some stuff delivered and the delivery people asked how time they spent there and my son told them he'll we spend more time here than they do. Hey thanks for the tour!😊

Was that a power station there on the shoreline at 12:22?

Nice day on the water with a variety of scenery. Looks like you have good weather there now, being summer in Newfoundland. We are in winter here in Queensland Australia and we just had another cold snap. I'll be glad when winter is over.

Genius

That was some beautiful scenery

Hi Tony. Quite a bit different from your usual videos. Nice to get out of the shop now and then. Beautiful looking water and scenery. Lots of neat boats when you passed that marina. Thanks for bringing us along!

Thanks for showing us your back yard.
