Russ, great having you back! Our bathroom renovation project came close to kicking my tail too this past spring. So I hear ya! I think 2021 is the year I rebuild my PC as well. It still runs pretty good, but I'd rather stay in front of it than figuring out when I NEED to upgrade.
@DoubleRRestorations3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Grant, It did try my patience, lol. I'm so glad I did the pc upgrade. Right now I'm still running both pc's. I have a new monitor with dual inputs and I purchased an A/B switch for my usb peripherals. I just have too much important stuff on my old pc to get rid of it at this point. Its still a decent machine. The new one is going to be so nice for my workflow though.

We’re excited for you and the channel Russ! Sooo sorry about your losses. The family pet is sooo much more that just an animal. They truly are a member of the family. Love the bathroom redo. And of course it always goes without sayin, If momma ain’t happy, AIN’T NOBODY happy...😂😅🤣 Best of luck with the floor pan on Overkill. Check with Roger regarding the issues he uncovered with rust in hidden spots. When I saw how he had to tear apart brand new panels, fix the rust, seal them and then reweld them that just discouraged me something aweful. But, you being the craftsman that you are, it’ll be fun to follow you along. Great to have you back in your shop!!! Bob
@DoubleRRestorations3 жыл бұрын
Thank you Bob. Yes that was a real eye opener when Roger discovered the rust in the new panels. I'll definitely be doing alot of the same repairs. I'm so looking forward to moving to a different section of the car. I kinda burnt myself out working on the doors, but I went the long way about it. More on that in a future video. lol

Hey Russ, Glade to see your back. We all hear you 2020 sucked ! I just lost a high school buddy of mine (at the age of 56 now) 2 weeks ago to this DAM virus, we meet in auto shop, he had a 68 Chevelle and I had a 1970 Formula 400. Anyways 33 years later and I'm now in the process of replacing that Firebird (sold it in 89). I bought a 1981 T Top turbo trans am from North Carolina that is surprisingly clean as far as sheet metal goes. I plan on starting a channel soon. So I have a question I need to replace the trunk pan but the quarters and tail panels are original and mint so I was thinking of just cutting out the old one between the middle of the frame rails and doing plug welds to the one side of the rail and but welding the seem up the middle of the rail so you wont see the seem from underneath, what do you think ? the whole pan wont fit in in one piece. Thanks for any input and sorry for your losses as well , pets and friends are like family members. Scott
@DoubleRRestorations3 жыл бұрын
Scott, that sounds like a good plan. You could even put the seam over the rail flange. It will be easier to weld that way serving as a backer and the seam would still be hidden. I would also spray some of the Eastwood Internal Frame Coating inside of the rail just to protect it after welding.
@scotthebert34333 жыл бұрын
@@DoubleRRestorations Thanks Russ, excellent advice ! that makes more sense seeing how I'm still learning to weld too. So I'm assuming you mean the flange closets to the quarter panel so that I can coat the inside of the rail ?
