I installed 2 and 1 is leaking. Im about to throw some red rtv between the flanges and hope it seals. Still better than the band clamp style

Where did you get the galley plug with the oil hole in it?? Did you drill it your self? Is it necessary?

That rear end shaft gets tiny towards the wheels never seen that axle tubes lol couldn't think of it last night is that a 9 inch or 8

I got the mig 170 works great

Do you have to weld these ones? Or are they going to be a better option then many stock vband clamps even without welding?

How much are you being paid?

I have a honda civic 1991 sedan. Can you please specify if it does fit on my model. Or any other suggestions.

Most definitely the best explanation of this I have seen great job!!

Is it heat and air? I need one for my 77 f150 but only want ac.

1970-1980’s mercuiser has a 3.7l ford half of a 460 it would be a hell of a car motor it might shake a bit though might have to shave the crank

Someone’s mad LS is gonna end the k series 😂😂😂

This is super helpful. Thank you for taking the time to put this up.

Way to keep it Ford ..... I had a 57 that I found a 312 Y block for it ... Kept it all original .... Loved that truck

Do you need to buy a hydraulic throw out bearing or can you leave the clutch fork??

Did you change out the master cylinder for rear disc brakes.

I’ve seen some people say it’s great, and others say it’s trash. I’m very conflicted.

What’s the feedback from it since it’s been a few months and it’s almost summer.

Thanks for taking the time to document your work, I am just starting this project on my 65 Ranchero

Just picked up my first Honda and have never heard of vband exhaust clamps till now. Thank you so much! Instantly subscribed

Where'd you pick up that brake switch? Love the factory AM radio & the dash mount tacho.. looks sick. I'm always checking ebay USA for period style dash tachos.. almost bid & won a chrome Cobra one from a 69 Torino,, but someone pipped me at the dying seconds DOH!! The Aussie 60's Falcons never came with tachos (or V8's) so it'd be pretty cool to have a nice tacho..

What kinda work do you do outside of the garage Rob? II think Michelangelo must've sculpted that Bondo quarter panel (we call it Bog, DownUnder..its more apt, i think..) Good thing you've gotta Zipdik🤣🤣🤣 Music sounds a lot like Clutch today.. great band from Canadia...love it The big '70 looked like Christine,,,,all disassembled & limping back into the garage all mashed up after killing Buddy Repperton... Hey why don't you paint it Grabber Blue 🤭🤭🤭

Oooh that looks like a scary job.. Lucky i saw the finished car before i watched this one.. Big Balls mate,,, Big Balls

Is that door hanger jig a home made jobby or did you buy it? Looks like its really handy. With the guard on (fender) & the door & bright work on,, it looks flash as fuck!!! I know it was a year ago for you,,, but its all new to me.. Bloody beautiful 💥💥💥

Great little run remover is a tungsten square blade,, its about the size of a a Scrabble square but totally made of tungsten,, you can shave the runs out clean & saves time because you only hit the run & not the adjacent area as well,,& it never gets blunt,,, but your repair turned out perfect. Love the colour... but it needs some satin black black-outs...Ohh, you're gonna do that..😂😂 See how i make notes as I'm watching,, LOL Such a satisfying colour... It looks wringing wet & deep.. awesome used to keep a spray bottle of water & occasionally spray the panel to keep the pad from getting too warm & burning thru..it does cause a lot of fling off & your shop gets spattered with compound but the finish is glassy. Beautiful job tho mate... you gotta be happy with that..🤙🏽🤙🏽

Good job you chose this Grabber Blue,, it'll be safe now from the DEW's.. there's really handy gallon lids at the paint shop that come with spouts set in them, makes for an easier pour. Another thing i learned painting was to bring in the garden hose before you spray & being careful not to wet the body & mist on a light layer of water onto the floor..it keeps the fine dust down when you're dragging the hose & shuffling around with your shoes & the overspray is attracted to the wet floor so it sits down quickly & reduces some of your overspray. Love the colour Rob

Good job mate.. and you're right about the blocking.. when you think you're done blocking back... do 20 more hours blocking back... Wax & Grease remover inflation.. that's Bidenomics 😵😵😵 Loving the masking-up music today..🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘 Big Worm... you bragging about what you're packing' ?? Pollen ? or chemtrails?... Spraying in one hand & camera in the other,, degree of difficulty 9.5!! Was good to see you strain your primer.. saves a lot of fixing later after the gun spits out a big lugie on the job hahaha & you're spot on about the bare steel, that'll react & boil the edges if you don't cover them bits up.. You the maaaaan..!!

Good stuff mate.. I had a custom paint shop years ago in another life, but only painted bikes..Big panels like that were never on the menu.. good to see how you tackled it.. took me back to those heady days.. i could even smell the filler & dust..

Dude... whaddjasay???🤣🤣🤣 Loving the steel-cap Crocs workshop boots... Safety first..Aaaannd.. I wanna see you sporting those bib & brace overalls next time too..Like Grandpa's.. You should bring that back.. Nobody else in YT is wearing them in the garage.. you would be unique 😆😆😆 💥Bless you💥 Don't you hate getting sparks in the beard... man i hate that. Mine's insured for $100,000🤣🤣 Diet Coke!!!!!! That's drain cleaner man...!!!! Welds are great mate & the way you've got it all tucked in so snug.. Good stuff🤙🤙

Awesome Rob,,, I'm calling it a transmishall from now on.. beautiful welds on that header mate..I know i'm watching the videos in the wrong order now,, but i feel like i gotta watch the old ones..since you made 'em. Time for a new video i reckon.......

Dont care if this thing comes out it will be badass.

Its because it doesn't have a Blue oval on the front

Nice work mate,, I really like how you're not scared to have a go at everything.. Be the boss of that steel.. 👊👊

Ahhhh nice... & some rockin' Blues harp to boot..Ohhhh I spoke too soon 🤣You didn't wanna try to lead-wipe that C pillar join? Cheese grater,, we call it a speed file or a Surform file. Guide coat dry,, i always used to get the cartriges from photo copy machines,, when the black cartridge was empty & replaced where i worked they'd toss it in the bin, but there was always heaps left in there.. I'd take it home to my shop & drop it in my guide coat tin. It had a round dense soft sponge under the lid.. you shake it up til the powder from the ink cartridge would lay on the sponge then just wipe it over the repair.. real easy to use & refilling it was free👍😁 great work Rob.. You fill me with confidence hehehe

Just wondering cobber, what height is your shop ceiling? I was thinking i'd need to build a shop with a roof height over 4metres (13 plus feet) to fit a hoist in.. But yours duzn look that high. The old man's one is fukn flash!!! Cheers

Nice mate,,,My dad had a '61 Falcon wagon when we moved th Oz from Ireland back in 1969.. I have a polaroid picture of me as a 3yr old sitting on the roof of it when we were parked at the side of a bush road.. Coming from the UK this Falcon felt to my old man like he was driving a boat after all the 'miniature' English cars he's owned & he called it his "Yank Tank"...So when the chance came up, i bought an old Falcon wagon like dads.. mine is the Aussie XP model 1965 & now she's a 302, soon to be 347.. if time & money permits. I don't have a great workshop like you have but there are plans (in my head) for one with the hoist & a host of new tool toys. You've got great skills mate, & i am really happy i happened across your channel.. Keep up the great work & the informative videos.. You've gotta mate here in the West Coast of Oz.. Cheers, Cobber.

Great little custom job mate, i reckon you'd pay $40 Aus for a dinky-chocolate one from Chy-na... which is about $26.70 in your money.. So for a custom monogrammed one i'd say $49 USD for a bare steel one & $20 more for the powder coated model. I really wanted to see you make the top with edges & breaks so that is wraps the top of the battery top & bottom, rather than just a flat flap piece of tin, which obviously would be more work, but you could add dimples in the top for strength & make it more interesting & sell that one as a premium model..& chrome it..!! $150 bucks I'd buy one from you but I'm putting my battery in the back of the wagon & dropping in the floor somehow.. in 2055 probably. Love your work Cobber..

Good stuff Rob, I really like how you don't hide your struggles, Cobber... you share all the dramas & even the f#ck ups that challenge you & how you overcome them. Wish I had an old F truck to play with, don't paint it. I hope the well body is as nice & patina'd as the cab. What a good dad you got. And the music today... much more appropriate..I've been toying with the idea of a 8.8" for my XP Aussie '65 Falcon wagon. Apparently the pre 2000 Explorer's had 31 spline axles & LSD & they're pretty cheap. Only thing is you need to remake the tube on one side or buy 2 diffs because the stagger is so large, one side t t'other. Really enjoyed this video.. I'm catching up to almost present day.

Cool.. looks like you are really enjoying it.. Despite the music 🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha you just answered my last question

I been hearing that the early model Explorer with the live axle diff 8.8" i think had a 31 spline limited slip & pretty bullet proof.. I've been toying with the idea of slinging my old borg warner for this setup.. what's your thoughts on this idea Cobber?

Awesome.. mine sounds like that.. yours must have an aussie accent too 🤣🤣

Make you 350-400 naturally aspirated out of it. No turbo No blower No nitrous

I said it before, but How nice to have all the right gadgets ....I'd be digging around in cupboards & boxes & making McGyver shit out of bubble gum, toothpicks & fencing wire LOL... Can't wait to hear it now

Mine aren't period correct but i used the rectangle GT exhaust tips,, in Oz they were from a '72 XA & XB Falcon GT but likely they're really from something earlier in the US, coz we're a few years behind & we got the hand-me-downs from your USA left-overs parts bin,, but they really look cool in my opinion.

Maybe you needed to leave the tin a bit bigger before you rolled it to give those shorter edges some purchase on the bead roller.. then trim it to size after? I dunno I've never used one.. That Dimple die process is pretty to watch though, Cobber. `Oh, & we have the same beard LOL & bald head.. But mate,,!! that Flashdance music 🤣🤣🤣 Could the drier hang inside the fender? (we call it a guard in Oz) in front of the tyre ?

Chy-naa.... 🤣🤣🤣But it must be great to have a workshop with all the gadgets & bits you need in it...I'm so jealous.. Loooove that radiator support...Dunno whether the twin fans setup can fit, but on mine we used a 14" Davies Craig fan & mounted in in front of the radiator to make space & reversed the motor polarity so it pushed the air instead of pulling it. But yours looks beautiful,, did i tell you how much i loved that rad support?

i used to have a 63 with a 180 special? but it was straight 6 i think and it had 3 on the tree.. wish i had a v8

Love your build,, Hate the music 🤣🤣🤣 a 63 Falcon deserves some blues or Rock n Roll background music hahaha.. Beautiful them wire plug blocks

Sounds great, what i can see 👀 looks good 👍

Subbed from down under west coast australia,, I gotta '65 Aussie falcon wagon...They were 170's or 200ci 6cyl's from factory but we've shooed in a nice 1998 5.0 Windsor & put it back to old school carb 650 Holley.. still a work in (slow) progress, but your video gave me a big smile.. Good onya mate.🤙🤙
