Finally Fixing The BIGGEST Problem With My F100!

[@terrym6300]

What I'd do on that rusty assed paint job is a "Comet car wash". Hose it down with water, drop on some powdered Comet cleaner, use a Terry cloth and work small sections at a time. It will remove the red rust and oxidized paint at the same time. Be sure to wax it afterwards. It will still have a patina look but it will shine!!! Doesn't cost anything but time and it will look better. Done it many times in the past with good results.

[@sgtfroman]

I would HIGHLY recommend doing the top of the windshield! Trust me, you'll love the look and your eye's will appreciate it as well.

[@Thecraig909]

Thanks for the idea. We were going to do the front windshield but it was trashed. The strip isn’t a bad idea tho!

[@peterpower0495]

100% i had a brow on my daily until i got the windshield replaced and it was so nice to have when the sun is just at that right spot to be annoying.

[@701chevy9]

Put a brow on the windshield, keeps you legal but also keeps the sun out of your eyes all day without a visor especially around sunrise and sunset.

[@Jon_2218]

Caution is highly necessary for night driving with a tint that deep. (Personal experience) Turning street corners, look extra hard for pedestrians. I think your Ford truck is totally awesome. Thanks 4 the vids. PS, consider a A/C install without compromising your trucks interior looks, you deserve all the creature comforts of your daily driver in that hot climate.

[@hobbinshotrods6051]

For anyone wondering, your windows do NOT have to be removed for tinting.

[@Autovisions]

For the back window on those trucks it looks better if you remove it and do it outside of the vehicle did the same thing on my dads 73 f100

[@Zach-k2p]

But it helps to remove the back window little drew,

[@troysgarage]

I need to replace my seal anyway. Might as well do it right at the same time. Looks awesome too. Downside in Utah, law dictates how dark front windows can be. But I’ll go as dark as legally possible. 🕺🏼🙌🏼

[@jeffrey4547]

i do a lot restorations so i all ways do it y i have the rig apart it all has to come out so y not tint it before i put it in and end up with a better job . i build the hole rig myself drive train , paint , body work , interior and custom work

[@HammerPowered]

Tint is key for a lot of reasons regardless of age of vehicle. I swear the tint shop is my first stop on the way home from the dealership anymore. Came out looking great.

[@JJ78n]

That’s just down the street from my Clock repair shop in Temecula. I also make back lit hubcap clocks. I have a mid-60’s F100 hubcap clock right now that you would love.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I would add a tailgate spoiler and larger alloy wheels with low profile tires!

[@dc1usn]

Did they legalize side window tint or are you just asking to get pulled over?

[@neil6212]

Perfect! What to do next, you ask? Paint it, so it looks like the truck you have made it! Not that hard with the newer base/clear coat paints. What else? AIR CONDITIONING. A must for anyone in the southern part of the country, most of the rest. I even bit the bullet and installed central A/C in my shop/garage.

[@Stars11222]

I doubt he is going to paint it, he repainted and then re-patinaed sections of the car because he like the rust look, he actually has a few videos on him doing it a while back

[@nickmccullough7955]

[@jamesguckenberger5692]

Say it with me everyone! Dry heat!

[@pinstripingbybear.]

Dose it have bubble's already on the passenger side window @18:02 @18:03 ?

[@Thecraig909]

No that’s an internal stain on the glass itself. Like someone got something acidic on it years ago

[@robino.5340]

Yes sir Tint man is the place to use in SW Riverside County.

[@ScoobyDigites]

Highly recommend tinting. Protects the interior from the sun and it looks cool when done right not to mention it can help prevent someone from creating a shopping list based on what's in your ride. Just have to be careful some states have a hard on for wanting to ticket for window tint.

[@NikolitheRussian]

And I clicked on this video expecting you to fix the noisy fuel pump lol. Still, looks super cool

[@Thecraig909]

Yea I think I’m gunna try to fix that next week if I’ve got a free day

very nice , was wondering when you were going to do that ! looks AWESOME! keep up the great work!

[@garykuhn1921]

Truck looks great. You sound consider a radio. 👍

[@brianhdueck3372]

Sway bar handling package if you don’t have that yet. Pretty awesome upgrade. Just did that to ‘76 F150 4x4 on Monday. Haven’t driven it yet as it’s still getting painted.

[@DeanFamilyAcres]

I'm always torn putting tint on a vintage vehicle. I like a reasonable tint and it does help with temps, but the look is hit or miss. I've also had dark tint vs lighter, and dark drives me nuts at night, hurts visibility, I have no idea how people safely drive with tinted windshields, unless their headlights are upgraded the right way.

[@codymallernee5258]

Some west coast mirrors would look sick on this

[@redrooster7016]

Hey man where did you get that sweet air refresher on your truck?

[@thomasgreen1557]

The lighting in the cab after the tint looks awesome. You sold me on doing mine now. Looks great man, and it really fits the style/look of the truck imo. Nailed it👍

[@LivingOnWheels]

Looks really good man! I just got the clear windows on my truck done and its amazing how much heat difference a quality tint makes. Not to mention it looks awesome! I went with 55% on my windshield and am really happy with it. Might be pushing the "forgivable" limit there in cali though. Either way rig looks great!

[@jakeg83]

Is that a reflection on the passenger side window, or is there bubbles in the tint?

[@mykee426]

Looks real sweet man. Give it a good wash and give it a clear coat. Real nice

[@mikepatton6252]

Put a sun visor on it

[@mustangguy8622]

That’s awesome craig. Would love to get mine done but here in the Uk we can’t have the side windows that dark. But enough to make a difference tho.

[@natesv04]

Thanks for all the hard work on this channel Craig, I got a 71 Long bed. I want to turbo my 302, would love to see your truck with a nasty turbo man!

[@mojunk19]

If you roll the windows down with old cat whisker, will it scratch the tint ?

[@AmilcarPenya1703]

is it a pain in the ass is it to daily drive a straight piped car with no a/c? bc im building a 68 mustang coupe and i want it to look, sound and perform similar to a shelby prepared trans am racecar and that involves having straight pipes or just glasspacks and no a/c but i dont want it to be so annoying that i cant daily drive it.

[@physkogamer7139]

I have a 75 Dodge with straight pipe that dumps right out under the passenger side floor. I live in CA and it has no AC but I've been driving it for about 4 months now. Its not as bad as you would think. One thing to know is yes, you are GOING to arrive at your location sweaty. Deal with it. There are several tricks you can do but what I personally recommend is, 1. Wear a tanktop or shirt you don't mind being sweaty and bring a shirt to change into when you arrive, 2. Freeze a wash rag or towel and wear it over your neck while you drive and finally 3. Try not to stop as much as possible. Take different routes that keep you away from stop lights(stop signs are just a recommendation). As for the straight pipe that can be generally annoying after a while just because of the exhaust drone it can have but if you're like me you may actually get used to it. I'm fairly deaf from working with power tools a lot anyway though.

[@qball1of1]

If you are already concerned then yes you will probably find it annoying. There are a million muflers out there from silent to ear splitting, find one in the middle you will be happier. Your car, your choice, but you said you wanted to daily drive a " not pain in the ass" mustang that sounds like a shelby prepared race car...and race cars sound great on track day. To drive open piped car an hour home?? a bit much.

[@chandlerparks278]

What year is that truck

[@tobey.r.s.g.m.2635]

The next part you should do is get those exhaust valves and then hook the second second pipes up to boom tube so you can switch them from boom tubes to shorties.

[@d1ld]

I have to ask, Is that oil pressure gage hooked up in your truck? And when your truck is at temp, were is the oil pressure at idle. If i remember you saying on one of your videos from awhile back it was a good day because you had 9 psi oil pressure and going to be driving an hour or something. I thought you were BSing Any way I put a 302 in my 71 Mercury comet GT project. it has 20 psi warmed up and rises to 50 psi while cruising. I have been scared to drive it hard because of it. But watching you wind up your truck and drive it hard, Has me wondering if i should work my 302 harder! It does run fine but i have not yet wound it up like you do in the truck.

[@yeboscrebo4451]

Awesome. Thx for sharing. Nice to see the whole process

[@shartne]

Tint looks real nice but paint the roof solid white it will be a lot cooler. It will reflect the sun better than dark rust color.

[@andrewstevenson5155]

nice to see the truck back again i have tint on my 97 chevy but the windows are always down and my ac doesnt work anymore so i tend not to really notice it anymore

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

Lane changes at night with the limo tint on the side windows is all kinds of fun.

[@paulchristopoulos685]

What about your new chassis?

[@johnpassmore8176]

Love it. Gonna do my 71. Identical to yours Craig but has mild built 460

[@No-vm7go]

What to do next? BOOST. Specifically, a roots blower, then MUCH bigger & wider tires on the rear. Maybe tub the rear.

[@davechambers2730]

Must be nice to tint the door windows, where I’m from only tint behind the driver.

[@huntsman5226]

[@mulehead1969]

Looks awesome. Did mine a couple weeks ago.

[@samwasson6581]

Tint the whole windshield and then put a strip on top it looks cool and the truck will be way cooler inside

[@chrisb3017]

Live in Alabama as well as Florida, I always tint my vehicles. Always get good products and find a good installer, they pay for themselves when you don’t have to get it redone

[@jeffrey4547]

i did all my glass out off the rig but it was being rebuilt so i had to remove all the glass to paint the parts so i did the glass y it was apart

[@chevylandt.v]

Yup my c10 needs to be retinted as well as my f100. My c10 has some but its flaking and my f100 just needs to be a little bit darker. But anyway nice job on the tint. I wish I could do limo tint but my city doesn't like to have any of us to have it kinda dumb because I would like to hide my stuff inside. Are you going to do the galaxie too?

Been doing it for 35 years...never have damaged one....sometimes you have to force it when with new gaskets.
