[@mcdlt8414]

Hey Troy, never feel like you have to apologize for your videos. Your subscribers are always happy to see your content, especially the 79. I'm also very sorry for the loss of your MIL. She sounds like a true blessing for your family. Never forget your loved ones are #1! We look forward to seeing more content when you're able! All the best and take care

[@troysgarage]

That really means a lot! We are getting back to real life now. Staying busy helps. Appreciate the support as always! More 79 content in the works now!

[@sammy9860]

Man never worry about your videos “not flowing” life happens, I’m sorry for your loss, and especially to your wife. You could literally post hours of unedited footage and I’d watch it all the same

[@troysgarage]

You are so kind! I really appreciate the support and kind words. Lots of good stuff coming.

[@Natesgarage123]

Thank you for the content and sorry for your loss

[@troysgarage]

Thanks. These things are hard but we are coping and getting back to life now. Appreciate the kind words and support for the channel.

My '78 Ford has sat for a year and I haven't watched your videos since then. Getting the truck put together right now and I just have to say, when you stopped to talk I said "This guy's a good dude" and remembered that I wasn't just subscribed to you because of your content but because of who you are as a person. Love your videos.

[@troysgarage]

Thanks that means so much to me. I needed this comment today.

[@KeepingUpWithUs]

Good to see another Midnight Maroon video. Way to keep pumping them out with how crazy busy you can be. 🤗

[@troysgarage]

Now that the weather is cooperating you can expect more consistent content. Some amazing stuff coming.

[@3dthreads685]

I am glad to hear things are back on track Troy! And when you said you were going to drill the hole in the tank, I was glad to see you went through with it 😂 Looks way easier that way.

[@troysgarage]

Truth and since the tank is junk it’s not like I was gonna try to sell it. I was simply trying not to spill gas everywhere. 🤷🏼‍♂️😅

[@nathansmith-ee4re]

So sorry for your loss! Prayers for your family. Love all the content, I personally would watch anything you post. I love it all. Please don’t feel the need to apologize, sorry for all you guys went through and so glad to have you back! You seem like wonderful folks. Appreciate all you do! Look forward to seeing what comes out next!

[@troysgarage]

Thanks for the super kind words. We ARE good folks. Hahaha. We are feeling better and getting back into the groove. Really need winter to go away!!!! That would help a LOT! 🤷🏼‍♂️😜

[@TLLConline]

Great to see you back at it Troy. Glad things are settling down a bit for you. My 79 has been on hold all winter, dealing with family stuff too. Hopefully going to get back to it soon. Idaho weather is a little bipolar right now though, (70° today, snow tomorrow, I think this is 4th spring, maybe 5th, I've lost track). No matter how many shop stools and chairs I've bought, I keep going back to that little harbor freight roll around. It just works.

[@troysgarage]

This winter has been brutal no doubt. I’ll be getting back to more consistent videos now that it’s warming up. Working on the projects keeps me busy and is great therapy and stress relief.

[@TLLConline]

@@troysgarage I have a Harley for stress relief lol.

[@troysgarage]

I had a bike before we moved to the new house and I completely understand that!!! I need one again.

[@TLLConline]

@@troysgarage well, I don't have one of those for sale, but I do have that 66 f250 and a 68 fastback Galaxie available lol.

[@troysgarage]

That’s awesome. I though I had Wallace the 66 sold twice but each time their wives basically said no way. They couldn’t get over the patina look. Some people just don’t get it. What’s up with the Galaxy? How rough is it?

[@sammy9860]

Wooo more midnight maroon!!

[@troysgarage]

I know right! Seems like forever.

[@zacharycampbell131]

Hey man I get it you don’t have to feel pressured by anyone to make videos at a certain time I’m sorry for your loss and I hope you learn to cope eventually loss is hard for sure

[@troysgarage]

Thanks man! I’ve been taking things at my own pace lately. I put out videos when I can and trying to enjoy the process.

[@TheFrameoff]

All those tanks came like that , bent corner

[@troysgarage]

Yup I saw that from underneath. My heart kinda sank when I first saw it. But then noticed the factory crimps. All good in the hood! 🤘🏼

[@chrisporter4520]

I'm curious how far it hangs down. Any more videos?

[@troysgarage]

That’s a great question. Tell you what…. I’ll add this to a video in the near future. It will be next Wed at the earliest though as I’ve already uploaded the video that drops tomorrow. Stay tuned!

[@THE-OUTLAW-F150-79]

Hey whats the size inbetween the frame? Ive seen some stuff online saying that if its a 34 inch frame it wont fit do you remember or know what yours is i dont know if the f150 to the f250 on the 79s are different. Cause i want to just run the rear 38 gallon tank. Any help and info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[@Hollywood49]

I’m only 5 mins in, but why not use a hand pump to get whatever gas you have out of the existing tank?

[@troysgarage]

Why didn’t I think of that? Kidding I did think about it but that’s a lot less adventurous than risking it all.

[@Hollywood49]

@@troysgarage Touché

[@troysgarage]

🤣🤘🏼
