I love wagons, and how honest you are with attempting to spend as little as possible. The longer videos are great and the editor is truly a master at picking great content with audio levels everyone can understand. You do not pretend to be Chip Foose or Boyd Coddington you are a family man just trying to make in this world, and try to have a ton of fun along the way. When your whole family gets involved, and pitches in to make something always unique and fun together that makes these vehicles even better and more fun to watch. It takes a lot of guts to do this full time and bet on yourself; I am damn proud of you and support you as I can. You always are able to adapt to any situation, improvise a solution when necessary, and overcome any obstacle in your path. Great video, I am looking forward to the series. Thanks!

The “use what you got” motto of your channel makes it one of my favorites to watch.

I've only seen the one other video, that GTO one, and that was worth the watch. I'll make sure to watch a few more episodes but so far it's entertaining. I never thought I'd watch an hour plus long KZbin videos but I find myself watching more and more of them.

Nice longer video - well worth the Low-Buck Club admission! TIP: Soaking bucket for smokers - use kerosene with your cleaner. You'll use less cleaner, you won't go 'BOOM', and you can use it practically forever (let it setle, salvage kerosene by coffee filters, add more cleaner, top off with more kerosene and off ya go).

"Word", like the cool kids said in the '90's... I've got kerosene over 30 years old. Smells a little off - gawd knows what stuff it's collected over the years - but still cleans parts. Diesel is my favorite cleaner now though; impossible to flash off (in my experience), available everywhere, fairly cheap (even after FJB) and leaves a nice kinda WD40-like coating on your metal stuffs to protect from rust.

I don't know who needs to hear this but concerning heater cores, CLR works great for clearing them. My XJ's was plugged solid. Took it to the local shop and they tried some kind of acid and it didn't work. Me being cheap didn't want to pay $900 for them to install a core. Me, also trying to get out of ripping the dash apart, thought hey, this stuff works on all sorts of things, worse that happens is it doesn't work. Disconnected the heater hoses at the core, attached clear hoses, started filling to upper hose until it wouldn't take anymore. I angled the other hose upwards so I wouldn't lose any CLR if it started breaking the clog. 3 beers later I saw stuff seeping into the other hose. (About an hour) I let it cook for another 2 beers then put the lower hose into a bucket. I blew into the upper hose with a air nozzle (set at about 5 psi) and a big glob of junk came out then the CLR flowed. Rinsed system with hot water, put more CLR in, let it cook overnight. (I was 10 beers in by this point so it was sandwich time) Flushed more crap out the next day, rinsed with hot water, done. Had heat again. So yeah, maybe give Calcium Lime Rust remover a try. Save some $. (I really think adult beverages are key in the process.)

I have done it a few times and it worked fine for temporary mounts until the new ones arrived. Ford did make a 2 door version of that wagon but they are rare.

It amazes me that you can get away with just patching the floors like that, in New Zealand, Australia and many other countries you would have that car impounded, pink stickered (ordered off the road as an unsafe vehicle) or crushed. If you tried to import a car with a repair like that, they'd almost laugh at it and prevent you registering the car until the rust issues were fixed...by fixed I mean butt welded repair sections, like AMD do, or from a donor vehicle, it has to look factory or you're out of luck.I wonder if the USA have different rust repair requirements, State to State?
