Persistence pays off! That was a bit of a nail-biter. Well done with the stud removal.

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Man. I really didn’t want to replace the head.

[@skruloos1]

I really like where this is headed..that washer trick is etched into the memory bank..

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Thanks for sharing your experience and your thoughts about tackling broken bolts, wrong coils, and general fabrication issues. Mable is looking good! See y’all next week!

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Thanks

Awesome job man! Keep the videos coming! Love watching what you’ll do next

[@Theoldironworkshop]

That rain hurt us to getting our video out for today. Had to make it two parts. Cab mounts. Being Edna and Mabel are the same age I imagine you going through similar struggles

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Yeah I’ve been swimming out here. Slows things down for sure. Oh yeah cab mounts are no fun

[@plnthrd]

I don't know much about the early 50's hearses but i do know about the 60's and later hearses. The later cars had a different windshield (they were much taller) than the regular cadillac cars because they were commercial chassis's. Just measure yours vs a regular caddy before buying one because I know they are all expensive

[@johnkelly6942]

That was a lot of work. If that wasn’t justification for a big pour of something really nice, I’m not sure what is. Great video, keep ‘em coming.

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Oh don’t worry. We stay well hydrated over here.

[@1811norm]

This brings back some fond memories. In high school, a friend of mine had a 1953 Cadillac hearse/ambulance that we worked on. Used to get a string of cars with lights on going from high school to the local burger joint after class. Nobody knew that it was not a real funeral procession. Had lots of fun with it. Can't wait for the next video.

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Ha sounds like fun. Wonder if I could get a special pass in traffic

[@LarryO777]

I appreciate your craftsmanship and good videos. A 5 gallon bucket of water would save you a lot of trips to the swimming pool.

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Thank you. Do you know what the banjo tune is?

[@Animal666TNOTB]

I was a turbo engineer & 50% of studs / bolts used to shear. If your Easi - Out is good quality, you can shatter it with a punch & blow the bits out with compressed air. A bonus is the hammering also loosens the stud. I did,nt have access to a welder & so it was the only way. Of course if it,s a cheapo extractor it won,t shatter.

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Yeah, I tried breaking that bit. Biggest problem is dealing with the aluminum head and being afraid of ruining it.

[@colinmiles9390]

Hey man..good job on the stud removal.. I've had more than my share of stud removal..i go back with stainless bolts and a little i mean very little anti seize.. I haven't had one come back yet..knock on wood.. Cheers 🍺🍺🍺🍺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Yeah, I don’t know if you can use stingless on exhaust as well as on aluminum. There’s a lot of dissimilar Metals and they all expand a different rates. Hopefully whenever the studs go back in, they’ll never come back out in my lifetime.

[@TonFordMustang]

You are a real team player ! :)

[@Theoldironworkshop]

I have three daughters. I don’t have much of a choice.

[@buckykattnj]

Ever since I started using the MIG on broken bolts, I banished bolt extractors from the garage. I was tired of breaking a $10~$20 tool on one bolt. I would have used the remaining broken bolt extractor as a chisel to loosen and then a metal pick to remove the piece stuck in the broken bolt before welding the nut on. Also, when I have a broken bolt that is flush or below the surface, I build up a pile of weld... using a wet rag to cool it so it builds up. Then I hammer on a nut and weld it to the pile of weld. Just be careful not to weld the bolt to the head.

[@alanhicks3361]

If heads are cast iron and aluminium no way your going to weld stud to head

[@buckykattnj]

@@alanhicks3361 Tell that to the cast iron headed '95 LT1 I have in my garage. I had 4 broken bolts... 3 were unmolested and I zapped them right out. The 4th broken bolt was welded to the head by whoever previously worked on it. I don't know what they did to it, but it won't budge and I can't find where the bolt ends and the head begins. I had a 100% success rate after around a hundred bolts until I got to this one. I really have to clear all the garbage off that car and return to that project.

Man when I came to this channel . I was a hater .just trolling and lashing out .but, after seeing your work. Your the real deal .

[@Theoldironworkshop]

That may be the most honest comment I think I’ve seen. And honestly, you know we all start somewhere. I’ve been doing hot rods since I was probably 12. Everything from Vespa scooters to Harleys wooden boats, hot rods, cars trucks. I’m just a gearhead at heart. Trying to present something in video form is not as easy as it sounds by any stretch of the imagination. Although I really do enjoy the creation portion of it. But you have to start somewhere. I just went back and re-watched my first video that I edited on my phone. Complete garbage. How I ever I think they are getting slowly better.

[@macho4x4warlock98]

A lot of engineering work & time up to this video……looks great!!

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Yes, it’s definitely a lot of thinking that goes into these things. The one thing that kind of bums me out as I cannot take the body from the chassis and do a nice clean set up. Working around the body is pretty tough. My next project will be 100% frame off not in bolt I think. But that’s a few months down the road.

To get those broken bolts out is an absolute pain in the ass. I have a friend who swears in order to loose a bolt it helps to tighten it just a tiny little bit before loosing it more. I never had any proof of that, but maybe I will have to give it a try in the future.

[@craigbowley6783]

A good way to get broken studs or bolts out is. To drill a hole in the bolt and then pound in a torx bit just slightly larger than the hole. Then use the torx bit to back out the bolt. No welding required. Hasn't failed me yet 👍 also soaking it with a good penatrating oil like PB blaster or kroil. Not wd 40. Or seafoam.

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Hmm have to try that

[@davidwatt73340]

Use the triangle piece of angle iron that is leaning up against the fence to pick up the doghouse from 3 points. One corner to each fender, and the point of the triangle to the radiator support. Then find the center of gravity and use the engine hoist.

[@Theoldironworkshop]

Yes, in hindsight, I should’ve probably did that because that sucker is not light.

[@johnhicks735]

If you didn't get that stud out yet. Drill A pilot hole with A harden drill bit.,or titanium drill bit A good one to. Smaller drill than the stud of course to weld into the easy out and washer to remove those with. And repeat the same process of backing it out slowly.,or slow and steady.
