Life gets in the way Mike and a lot of times refuses to move out of the way! I have found the older I get the longer it takes to get a car together--keep fighting the good fight, it's looking great!😎

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks Glenn. I appreciate it very much. You keep fighting also ! I understand that life holds us back. But some of us are just lazy and make bad decisions 😁👍🏼

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

I love how 8f it ain't right you continue cutting or hammering till it fits great! I'm so happy you are back posting.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks ! . I appreciate that. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@douglasbarnhart3324]

Thanks Mike another piece of the puzzle done!! see ya on the next side.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

👌🏼 thank you.

[@billterry9996]

Good solution to the problem .love the video . Show the problems and how to make it work

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you 🙏🏼. Wrapped up the drivers side last night. It went perfect just like the pass side, with some extra work at the pedals. ✅✅

[@380.motorsports]

Yes 2 years off a project makes it difficult but at least you have all those old videos to help you remember where you left off.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Yep. That part worked out

[@lorenzoo955]

Thank you for all these explanations, can't wait to see the next video 👏👏

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you. Nice to know some people appreciate the discussion and explanations

[@brianvandemortel6710]

You are doing great work I enjoy your videos when I have the down time keep them up

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@timferriss905]

Well Mike that’s called timing. Just woke up from nigh shift. Made coffee and get to watch you and relax before I start another day. It’s 1240 so I’ve had about 6 hours sleep which is good for me most of the time I’m about after 4 hours. Then I cat nap before going to work and get 1-2 hours at work at the shippers around midnight. Any way I’m babbling so I would like to say I enjoyed your last video. And this one. I no it would take a lot longer but all those brakes could be done with out the brake ? Like the last one. It’s nice to have a big shop like yours with lots of tools. A lot of us over here in England have tiny one car garages that you can just about get in and out or no garage at all. Thanks for sharing your approach to making a nice piece of floor board. Cheers Tim

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I’m very fortunate. Thank you for the kind words and hanging around while I build the 34. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@davidhyson9910]

Mike, That toe board is twice as nice as the one you didn't make two years ago! I spotted your shifter knob collection on the wall. Nice!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Ahhh the shift knob collection 👌🏼🧐. Alli asks … “how many shift knobs does one person need?” Hahha. More than what I have now 😁

[@kurtludwig6962]

I appreciate your detail explanation finish up your build.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks !

[@jimandlinsnow7002]

Nice work. I don’t know where you heard that pro shops don’t have a KZbin channel. There are plenty. Don’t sell yourself short. You do excellent work.😊

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I get told that KZbinrs (Myself) aren’t real hotrod buikders… real hotrod buikders don’t have KZbin channels. I’m okay with it, just letting those people know I’m not stopping what I’m doing and just getting better at it. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thank you for the kind words. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.

[@jimandlinsnow7002]

Don’t listen to naysayers.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

@@jimandlinsnow7002 they motivate me, knowing I can do exactly what they do and get paid for it. Sometimes you need to be told you can’t in order to prove to yourself you can. 🙏🏼. I’m in a great place … just having fun building my hotrod. Getting paid by Too … by KZbin 😁👍🏼

[@380.motorsports]

Whoever told you that nonsense does not really watch you tube. Many major shops have figured out they can make extra money and get more exposure for their shop by using YT. Whether you are a big shop or small builder you can make good videos. I always appreciate yours.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

@@380.motorsports yup. I agree 100%. I’ve told him that in the past. He has a well known shop in NH. Makes it known he hates KZbinrs. We don’t deserve the accolades we get from putting up videos and creating content while building our cars. So therefore his shop is real and me and everyone else on YT has no merit. That’s why I said what I said. (He’s an idiot) 😁👍🏼

[@TheCrackerBox]

Thanks for another , Brother !

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks for being here.

[@kenstevens5675]

That looks great.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@user-hh6lc1ln5t]

3m makes a white urethane seam sealer in a sausage pack that duplicates OEM quality, and it's like glue when cured. Only down side is it takes a special gun. It's like a urethane window sealer for sheet metal.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thank you for the info

[@mardyfisher693]

I am amazed that a coping saw blade would cut metal. Or was it a metal cutting blade for a coping saw? I guess if they just work for a few cuts that would be a win! Thanks for the idea. Now if I can just remember where I am on my project.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

I cut all the toe board panels from 18ga sheet metal with one coping saw blade. The blade was a wood blade. I believe 14tpi You can see it flexing if you force the metal through the saw. But if you take your time and let it do its thing, it works flawless. Cuts nice detailed curves too. Win win !

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

👍👍

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks TP !

[@edhawk4737]

I left off on my car 5 years later wtf!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Hope you can get back onto it soon.
