@KD8RAP but I mean...good problem to have right?

@@radtimecustoms 99% of the time lol, this being one of the exceptions, at least until I get my intake manifold back on.

Thanks...The Challenger used to be mine. I was a Mopar guy once upon a time. Gettin ready to build a 440 for my 48 Plymouth here soon, then I can get my street cred back haha

Thank you! Hopefully it was helpful

Nope. Once you got the keyway on (around 8min mark), just slide it on, put the bolt in, then start tightening to spec (shown at 8:18 mark)

@@radtimecustoms ok thank you 😎

Hey does the crank pulley or balancer have reverse threads jw because I’m about to do this job soon and don’t wanna snap a bolt off

@@radtimecustomsit would be nice to actually show the tightening of the bolt. How did you tighten it without the engine turning.

Glad I could be of some help, hope you get it back on the road!

Thank you! That is much appreciated!!!. I haven't really had the need for the greasy black, so much so that i didn't realize it was black kandy over surfite silver. I may have to play with that one. I am currently prepping a roof for my dads 57 TBird. Its getting Sparkle Silver basecoat with blue kandy. Maybe ill have to shoot the borders first with greasy black instead of solid black before the blue kandy. This way you can at least see how greasy black looks over silver before it gets covered in blue. Cant make any promises as I change my mind on custom stuff all the time and the plan may change 3 times this week alone haha. If I don't use it on the roof...I'll find a use for it. Maybe the back of the LP Im building for myself...hmmm On the guitar side of it, I will hopefully be posting video of the first Radtime guitar I'm actually building for myself. I've already painted it so it will be more electronics, hardware etc...but!...on that guitar I used sparkle silver for the headstock and pickguard with gold pearl...sparkle silver may be my new go-to basecoat...at least when my spray gun gets dusted off

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Thank you! I try, I try

Glad it was helpful! Lack of space can be quite a PITA! Currently dealing with that right now having a customers car take up my entire garage. Hope you get it done!!!

DO IT!!! Weird, awesome guitars are the best! I need to do another strange mash up here soon

@@radtimecustoms my go-to in high school was an Epiphone semi hollow with a DiMarzio Evo bridge and mini humbucker neck pickup... I could use it on the neck for jazz band in school then switch to the bridge to jam with my friends after school 🤣 Hell, my main amp was a Peavey VT Classic 410 that I would run a Mesa Studio Preamp into the power amp. Used to love the confused looks of folks seeing the setup then hearing it. Always a fan of weird combos.

Me too! But...these are temporary, just to clear the 315s. Eventually I will box flare the car and repaint it the same calypso green

a long screwdriver and a hose clamp and you stick your hand through the top of the oil filter like he does on the video, if you can't reach it you can take out the intake manifold is not TOO terrible

DO IT!!! They get a lot of attention, good and bad...thats the best kind

Thanks! Unfortunately one of the wires got snagged and killed the driver side so Ill be having to do it again...eventually

I wish I could take credit for it but launching is mainly thanks to Deaver Springs in Santa Ana, CA. They rebuilt and re-arched the original 48 Plymouth springs about 20 years ago

Sometimes a guitar just needs a little more zaz

Thanks man! I wanna see it after you knock it out

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Okay I did...dead pedal is a pedal placed next to the clutch pedal to rest your foot in between shifts. It's dead because it doesn't move. A lot of cars have a dead pedal placed right up to the floor. By moving it away from the floor, you don't need to move your foot as far when your next shift comes

I recently got really into RC lowriders and have been needing out quite a bit. Getting ready to print a body for one and I'll play with panel painting using these cans

No, thank you!

Thank you! To answer your question, it lays just like clear from a spray gun on something of this size. Would I shoot an entire hood this way, no...but something the size of a guitar is perfect. As long as you're not shooting really heavy flake, it really doesn't need to be colorsanded and buffed, but of course looks even better if done. I didnt have any time to film the last guitar so I will likely start on next years a little early so i can get a little more detailed. Last years guitar pics are posted on the IG page. It was a thinline that was inspired by Larry Watsons Grapevine Chevy from the 50s. a Lot of different paint stuff going on, reshaping of the F Hole, and i made custom knobs to match Watsons custom hubcaps. Wish I coulda kept that one, should have made 2 haha

Awesome, thank you for that info, do you think that one can of each paint in the Roth kit is enough for one guitar body? (a jazzmaster in this case) Please take more pics of your next project! I checked your instagram but didn't see many of the guitar from the video, btw what pickups did you put in? They sounded amazing! Thanks again@@radtimecustoms

Thank you! Dropping the top like that is thanks to a Mustang parts supply place that sold me a bad one and didn't return calls or emails about it. Necessity at this point as I wasn't gonna pay any more for another and wanted to make the car handle better with that money. Ill be posting more videos of this car, mostly at the autocross, but install stuff as well soon.

And that is how it's done! Haha

Top end kit won't matter for harmonic balancer. As long as you haven't done anything to change the balance, like popped a 351w in place of the 302 or done a stroker crank thats balanced different than factory...this part number is what you want

@@radtimecustoms thank you

Thank you! I feel the lack of money part, poor Mustang hasn't gotten any goodies for a while now

Thank you! It is fairly comfortable with extra room to spare if I keep getting wider haha

Thanks! Its been treatin me pretty well in CAM-T, need some 200tw tires though to get up in my class. The Prelude worked for me since I hogged out the fenders and used the 3/4 forward offset LCAs. I almost went s14 aftermarket and in a perfect world I really wanted a USDM Kouki bumper, but that's an expensive experiment. Good luck on yours and hope to see it with something interesting hanging off the front!

Thank you!

I've done the same. Now I just use that glitter stuff it's a transparent part and shoot it on the inside like an RC car body. It's straight 80 grit when dry haha

It's just for shortened, sorry. Unfortunately I don't have a stock vent here or I could make you one

Glad it was helpful! I usually get 2 cans of each...base, kandy, clear, just to be safe. Plus...you can always mix and match later so if you have some left over, you may decide your next one should be red kandy over the gold base you have left over. I've been crazy busy with customer stuff lately so I haven't been able to make a follow up video. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll post a video of how different bases change the look of your candy coat and how you can get different shades etc etc

Also...58 V is on my list of guitars for myself. Building myself a guitar like the one in the video but a bit different, then a Les Paul, 58 V may be after the LP. I'm building a thinline for this year's raffle, once it's done I can get back on my own stuff. Let me know how the V turns out!

Awesome! My fingers are so crossed that by the time they're released...im gonna have to spray them with my thumbs

I would decide what tire and wheel size you want to run first, get that sorted, cut the car, then measure how much flare you need. Im running 17x10.5 with 315s front and rear, I wanna say I have 3" flares. The flares are just some cheap ones off ebay. You'll need to measure your wheel openings and compare to flares available. You won't know how much spacer you're going to need until you mount the wheels and turn them lock to lock. My setup will only work with MM forward offset control arms, coilovers, and 315s, so yours will likely be different. I have a lot of material removed from my front fenders to clear the forward offset of the arms

Maybe I'll have to build me one now. Doesn't take much to twist my own arm haha

@@radtimecustoms how much do they cost when finished?

Not yet. Work has been keeping me from my cars and I'm just trying to get caught up on my customers projects. As it turns out you can have too many so I will be thinning the herd and freeing up money and space to get back on this one. I picked up two different engines to choose from, and both needing rebuilds...currently has a 430 Buick in it. With drag strips closing down, I really just have some thinking to do on how far I want to take a car that wont get much strip time. This car will continue, just need to pick a direction and stick to it. Expect it to pop back up around June/July

I dont think so. The paint can be found from TCP Global, you can get it pre mixed ready to spray. You can then get Preval Sprayer. Just load the paint into the glass jar, screw on the aerosol, and boom...spray paint

@@radtimecustoms thanks! I’ll probably give the Roth Sublime Green Kandy over Surfite Silver a shot first.

I don't happen to have one of those laying around unfortunately, Also, not many people wanting to get their tops chopped anymore. It's been almost a decade since I've gotten to chop anything besides a Model A

Do you also have a constant flinch face when using one? haha

@@radtimecustoms yeah I do. I started wearing safety glasses all the time now. Ask me why 😏

ummmmm thank you

Sweet! What is it? One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was from a fabricator at the first shop I ever worked at...if you screw it up, its fixable, its only metal. That stuck with me and I've had a few times I've second thought cutting something up, but every time I just start cutting and tell myself now I have to finish it. The hardest one was cutting the back of my 54 off to graft 56 tails...once the car had a huge hole in it, I had to finish. For some odd reason I don't mind wiring, it's kind of fun
