Fuel system 2k. Thats how you budget for that. Old hot rodders using existing lines times are done for.

It’s called amazon

Yeah . I don’t use old hardware ever and first time I paid 200 bucks for oil pan hardware price struck me .

Can it affect your cats? Thanks.

The amount of time I spend digging through the hardware store boxes for bolts and nuts to replace stuff. Or find the right fitting. And there's no telling what they cost till you get em up to the front. 😂😂

Adds up quick af

Yup yup 100% lmao

Manufactured for cents to make sure they brake and sold for a fortune to make sure the ceo makes 30x your yearly salary in just a single day. America is fucked.

The little nickel amd dime stuff that costs 350 $ !!!!

I always add 15% for shop supplies 😜 for the little things I am going to forget. 😊

You know why it's so expensive not because of labor not because of material because of taxes. You paid taxes when you bought the part. The company that shipped it to you had to pay some kind of tax on their employee their vehicles, the registration and then the company that made it has to pay taxes taxes on top of taxes on top of taxes.

I just went over this with a buddy. He's wanting to buy and build a classic Van. Even if we got an early 70s, G10 for $500. Like one we were just looking at in California. It owes the DMV $1060. For 2 years of tags. There's also transfer cost now. For a Van, that's only $500, including the tow for another 300. Because of fuel cost. It's $2000 before we even get to see if that motor is any good. It needs a carburetor don't have OnePlus the battery tires breaks typical fluids $4000 before we even get to see if that thing is road worthy or has a transmission problem. Or we can get a running and driving one. He can I mean for 5 ,000or 6000? Right now in the car market, it's better to spin a little more and get somebody's already finished vehicle.

Was literally looking for a rubber bushing kit for my 1987 E-250 and it’s pretty up there to get a set

Absolutely, hell something as necessary as bolts can get expensive

It's like building a fence you price the materials and think that's not bad until you order the hardware you didn't think about

Amen brother.

Had beautiful 82 ford stepside, str8 6 it was my paws truck & passed it down to me and i daily it until a drunk driver ran into it one nite & totaled it

Truths🦶🏾

Dont forget the nuts and bolts......

A budget whats that, never heard of her

When you know what youre Gunna need you try and buy bulk. Why I have 10000bolts and washers and nuts in a sorted bin, cause was the same cost as the 4 boxes I needed.

Id do the griswalds drive 😉 Merry christmass my man🤘

thats just looking nice stuff. hose clamps ftw.

100% agree, it is always the little things.

We use to pour trans fluid slowly in carb till it’s stalled . Wait 15 -30 minutes start up and run a bit then rev it up occasionally to smoke clears . That’s before cats and aluminum engine parts.

She’s alive,lol😊

Currently the price of things are absolutely out of control. After January 20th, it should start to improve.

an6+an8+an10= 500.00, no fun at all.....

Preach it!

Don’t do this on an engine with a catalytic converter. The carbon will become trapped in the converter and clog it.

Chromoly valve spring retainers were the ones that really shocked me

It's kind of like hooking up a carbon fuel cell to your vacuum lines the same thing happens it steam cleans your motor and you have water dripping out of the exhaust while you're doing it and it also gives you better gas mileage

I feel u

WW2 created millons of Machines, Foundry workers, Engineers and Mechanics. That trickled down after the war, through the 60's 70's & 80's. Now hyperinflation and rainbow crosswalks rule the day. Have nothing and be happy... That's the new marching order. Keep the old school alive friend 😉

I used to think up thing like this for road trips in the Sour Kraut. I always wanted to cruise the Linn Cove Viaduct. Or I was going to follow hwy127 or Hwy27 all the way to the Gulf.

Be in the conversation? You're Definitely Working with an Awesome Conversation Piece. 💥👍

I've been feeding water real slow in the old engines over 50 years

Sounds good Bobby 👍

...yeppers...oldest trick in the book...

great video and if i had to place a bet the pick up in the distributor has gone bad. the light blinking sequence may tell you the entire story.

There's a 70s frame with a cab here not sure if it's a long or short bed but it's 4x4

The ready to run most likely doesn't have a rev limiter. Unless it's a Pertronix. Or a Progression Ignition with the options. I thought about getting one of the Progression Ignition but the $800+ price tag is slowing me down.

Good to see it alive and running! I know it’s been a long road and it’s always a great feeling to get a new combo running.

Don't say that out loud. my wife believes me so far.....

Thanks for the videos throughout the year. Merry Xmas from Aussie 🦘👍.

Glad it's running again 😃

So true

Bobby...youre wanting the cylinder i believe..oreillys should have them. I just bought one for my 63. Only diff in my key is the ford logo. Its not present on the new key..but IS SAME STYLE

Rock Auto has a choice of 3 manufacturers of Ignition Switches, including Standard Motor Products. I did not see a tumbler or keys, just the switch. Auto restoration parts sellers/companies do sell the factory style Ford keys in brass.
