@@johnwilkerson2195 that it is. One of a kind

@@mercurymangarage6186 yes sir I have some of those same spots, that cutting out and welding would be for a professional body man, I am not. But I think I can make something work out of the por-15 and por-patch. How long it last, IDK?? For what I’m doing with this car, if I had to do it again every couple years, no big deal.

I’ve only ever known it as POR-15. I’ve only seen it fail in a couple applications, the metal was extremely oily, even cleaned repeatedly with lacquer thinner and degreaser we couldn’t get all the oil out.

@@RealWorldGarage I have used rust mort before and when I mention it to anyone, Por-15 comes up, that's why I was wondering. I just know rust mort(one word?) will turn rust black, seal it and then you can paint it. I don't know how good it is for the long term, I guess comparable to Por-15, maybe the competitor. I haven't done restoration work in years so I'm out of date.

I have a new video dropping tomorrow at 7am central, where I repair a decent size hole with this method. Hope to see you there, I appreciate you commenting and sharing your experiences!!! ✌️

My apologies, that happens sometimes when you’re working by yourself. It’s frustrating for me too. I do appreciate you watching.

@@RealWorldGarage I did get what I needed and actually did my touch up on 2 rust spots on the rear hatch of my RAV from an accident. Though I used a Dremel with wire brush to take out the Rust. The paint seemed to work real well.. thanks

Yeah if it’s already begun to rust what you did is the best way to get it to last longer. I’m glad it helped you. ✌️ thanks for letting me know your experience

Absolutely, these old stories will pass with them if we don’t get them. I really appreciate the owner of this car who gets that and brings Lewis along as long as he can physically get out.

535 cars. It was a good time!!! Thanks for commenting

@@Fordfalcon263 it always has a wide variety of cars, this year they has some cool planes having fun and showing off a bit.

If the metal isn’t to gone, it will definitely work to seal it up and add some strength back to it. The beauty of using the por-15 like the resin is it doesn’t give up like traditional resin used with fiber glass. It’s also solvent and water proof. You have to do a few coats of it to close up all the pores of the fiberglass.

I can see where they would be in a rust belt state. These were a little rusty in a non rust belt state.

@@RealWorldGarage any tips on removal? A blow torch just melts the bushings directly above the bolt head

I HAVE NOT used one of these, but I have seen several videos on them and want to add it to my arsenal of tools. I think it would be very useful. This recommendation isn’t brand specific, just this type of tool. www.amazon.com/dp/B09CPX851W?tag=br_1c_a_o-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1&ascsubtag=1732423773598-2-1732423773598&SubscriptionId=AKIAJO7E5OLQ67NVPFZA

@@RealWorldGarage thank you !!

It was a great getting to meet Lewis. I hope to meet him again for more racing stories. He’s a really cool old school racer.

I’m glad it helped! Dealing with a flat stinks even in the best of circumstances.

Originally, there was a fuel shutoff valve connected to the tank. They go up. At one time there was a different vent on the fuel tank cap. Mine made my canoe fly. FWIW... in that rear handle, there is a spare shear pin and cotter pin for the prop.

@@EdEdelenbos I’ll have to look for that, thanks for the tip. 👊🏻

@@EdEdelenbos 😂 it’s probably better on a boat, not a lot though. Thanks for commenting

Easy fix. Thanks for commenting

The longer you look the more you see. It’s a phenomenal piece of work!!

@@DAT240Z72 I just checked it yesterday, it’s still soft and adhered. Where I have it, there’s no sunlight getting to it, not sure if that makes a difference or not. It will be too coated with paint as well. It’s in areas that won’t be seen so I’m not top concerned about it. Thanks for commenting. ✌️

As hard as parts have been to find, I would certainly give it a try if you have access to one. We installed a new click clack pump and he did end up switching back to the old one because the new one failed and wouldn’t move fuel.

@ my old one died Did pump fuel but now intermittent. It sat for years and years. Was also stuck

Did you have the tank cleaned professionally?? It took my son a long time to get all of the rust out of the entire system. The lines had rust that kept breaking loose and he had to blow the lines and filters out numerous times. He also attached a magnet to the tank to catch any fine particles that would break free. These tanks are very hard to clean, even for a professional shop, and the lines are incorporated in the body making them very difficult to replace. There are 2 fuel filters on these, one by the pump and one under the hood. They will plug up and make your life difficult. It will take compressed air, and persistence. Buy some extra filter to swap out. You can hear the pump when it’s pumping the fuel change and get louder when the line gets plugged and stops flowing fuel. Be careful when dealing with the gasoline, stay safe and keep a fire extinguisher handy.

@ I can suck and blow in the lines just fine. And it flows very well when you do suck on the line.

That’s at least good news. But what about the filters,Are they still free flowing???

@@missadda8890 it all comes down to profit motive. That’s all they care about. Fred Smith used to have a mantra, “ the golden package” every package was the golden package and every package mattered. Shame it’s not that way anymore.

@@darray7472 thanks!!!

@@bme7491 correct. 👍

@@bme7491 at Costco, nitrogen is free

@@bighammer587 it works though. 🤷‍♂️

@@RealWorldGarage Good to know, I have several projects that I think this will be very useful for! Never heard of it before, thanks for the video

Take your time, it’s not hard.

@RealWorldGarage it worked pretty well. Not a pro job like your video said, but good enough to protect it from spreading. Thanks again!

I don’t think I said this was a pro job. This is an inexpensive alternative to a pro job, it looks fine if you take your time.

I’m gonna need to do this on my 2 months new rav4. The most difficult part is to find the god damn color lol!

@UB6IB91314 dealership is the best choice. Should run between $15 and $20.

Of for sure

Yeah, it’s pretty common for car companies to be really frustrating with the locations of their plugs. Hope you enjoyed the video!!

I was very fortunate to see this one. I’m glad it’s local to me. It’s one of the most well restored cars I’ve ever seen.

@@UlisesDiaz-b8j do you get the same eye rolls that I do??? I enjoy mine, I’m sure you enjoy yours too. 👊🏻

@@playstation2bigs no fading, it’s still holding up just fine. The bulbs it came with are still working as well.

@@familygrown I have no idea how you could baby proof the window crank. If you remove it, I would however keep an emergency glass breaking device to be able to get the glass out of the way incase of entrapment.

Thanks, I’m much happier now.

@@donmurrin5269 I usually stub my toe on the oil on one that hasn’t been run in a while. Good luck, looking forward to hearing how it goes!!!

@@theuneducatedbiologist9637 well if you see him show him this, tell him I said his truck is bad ass. I was the dude in the white Camry stalking him. LOL.

The C4 I have is the one that came with the car as best I can tell. I’m sending it out tomorrow to be rebuilt.
