[@hotrodmyk]

Looking good!

@@hotrodmyk thanks !!

NIce job on the front engine mount 'towers'. Also, love how you are using that laser level to help you get everything lined up correctly. Some of the new technology does help in old school hot rod builds!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

It’s been so nice having it. I keep finding more uses for it. Locating blind holes for the trans midplate in Saturdays video was a huge help. Extremely happy I purchased it.

Nice result, hope these short cotton candy videos are easier on the work load. Happy with the content, excited to ride along with ya!

[@ThisOldHotrod]

@@davidhyson9910 it actually more work. Cutting them down takes longer. But I’m hoping it works out on the viewers end. Something different for me. Typically they’re in the 30 min range.

No pearls of wisdom from me I really enjoy watching your progress on the rail and understand your patience- challenges - and thought process constructing this piece of history with safety in mind 👍

[@Ecosse57]

they came out real nice! what lazer level did you use? i might step into the 21st century for once and get a good-ish cheap one.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

Thanks 🙏🏼. Here’s the link to the laser I used. Cheap on Amazon. Firecore 360° Laser Level with... www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLHLQ6Y4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Hi Mike I’ve watched all of the build. How many hours do you think you have in it now? She’s coming on well. And the big question, where did you get that Buick T shirt. Take care best wishes. Tim.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

@@timferriss905 woah that’s a tough question. I’d guess somewhere in the 30-40 hours at this point. I got the shirt from Jeff Tuckner from Tucks Industries. I bought a few sets of louver dies from him for the press. He’s got some great shirts and stickers on his website

[@timferriss905]

Cheers thanks for the reply

[@RichieCat4223]

Did you build the Ed Roth Tweedy Pie tribute roadster?

[@ThisOldHotrod]

No I didn’t. I do have a 23T roadster to build at some point. I’m looking forward to that build also.

[@ThisOldHotrod]

@@RichieCat4223 Mad Fabricators on KZbin did. It’s still in the build process

[@RichieCat4223]

Another Banger of a video!! ..there is nothing that would be boring including drilling holes....Are you in Pittsburgh??..I am from Pennsylvania but out near Philadelphia...your motor mounts look professional...I am about to start on my 1928 Morgan/MG special build and it is mostly a wooden frame with a little steel. It is built like a 20's airplane without a propeller or wings...here is the original car that is in the UK...kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWq0fpRtdrp3Y5Ysi=JwPx_AEaDs9szXSe

[@ThisOldHotrod]

@@Biokemist-o3k that’s fantastic !! Looks like it’s going to be a interesting build. I hope it goes smooth for you. I’m located in Middleboro, Massachusetts. About 30 min from Cape Cod and 45 Min south of Boston.
