Restoring a Vintage Go Kart in One Week.

We fully restored a vintage go kart van with a modern engine, steering and much more! The van was restored to look like an O'Reilly Auto Parts go kart and with the help of CW wraps in Post Falls Idaho we nailed it! #OReillyPowered

Thanks for helping us bring a piece of our company history back to life! ☘

[@SeedNBS]

Now stop dicking over your employees with shitty managers 😂

[@MrMatymash]

Thanks for letting some great KZbinrs get involved in giving you some great Advertising videos. Not only do grind hard do some Amazing work with what ever they put there hands on they bring great videos for us to watch. Just like puddings fab shop who was in the group picture at the convention. He also did a great video Advertising for you on his channel. And that was great to walking around your store. THANKS AGAIN ❤

[@Berm_Blaster]

Sounds like O'Reilly should supply GHPC with an endless supply of blinker fluid, but don't forget to ask if it has AC before looking up part number.

[@GrindHardPlumbingCo]

Thank you guys for trusting us with this!

[@dirttdude]

i like the idea of sending them a case of turn signal fluid

I'm surprised you guys havent made a heat exchanger for the woodstove yet and run hoses to a radiator on the opposite end of the shop with a fan. I'm sure you have all the stuff around the shop somewhere to rig somethin up. Would help keep it a lot warmer i'd think, better utilization of the heat you're already making. Maybe like a few dozen feet of copper tube wrapped around the chimney, or even just something to sit flat on top of the firebox

[@fellenXD]

Just a couple of those peltier fans on top would probably help a lot. Though, building a heat exchanger and feeding a big tank of water would be pretty baller. That would stay warm for hours after thefire is out.

[@bearleemadeit4718]

Also good content

[@CRneu]

I believe they're going to be building a new shop so I'd wager their motivation to improve the current shop is pretty low.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

I was looking at my 'account' to see if I could send them a couple "heat activated fans" and realized I may want a hamburger cooked at a store instead,and decided a loaf of bread for my bologna was best.They need Will to do his 'push-ups' in front of the heater instead...

[@chadroehrick]

I love that all the old projects and parts just get left outside truly the grind hard way

That was so much of a blast from the past for me, these came out after my childhood... but still. The cool kids got go-karts for Christmas. The real cool kids got bodied go-karts for Christmas. In the 70s and 80s the van and pickup body go-karts were very popular gifts for kids.

You guys REALLY need a heat reclaimer on your shop stove flue pipe. We have multiple wood burning stoves in our home with Magic Heat, heat reclaimers. They help A TON

[@blackman9148]

Y’all been sitting on this gem for a minute. Dream camper on wheels and tires still. But I enjoyed seeing the wheels that made me subscribe to you guys. The original pink mustang followed by the death scooter. Man you guys have come a long way. I’ve enjoyed every video since.

[@intricateinc8566]

Grind Hard Plumbing Co PREMIUM content for the big kid in all of us. I am so glad I subscribed to this channel and I enjoy all the designing, fabrication, testing and general wholesome fun content.

[@calebb5106]

it is currently 85 degrees in arizona as I'm watching this, I'm amazed that its still so cold where yall are at, but as someone whos done race car and fiberglass/composite work for 3 1/2 years before i got injured, you seem to have done a pretty good job doing a nice quick patches and repairs on the body. Using the tape as a backing is something i had to learn on my own to bridge simple holes but you seem to have thought about using that way faster than i did, when you do that though its always best to do a nice wet down of resin on the tape/area before you lay the glass down to prevent the air bubbles you got. All in all, 8/10, good job.

[@wendellharker6690]

That was way COOL 😎 thanks for letting me watch 👍.

[@laynetormanen9838]

I wish you warmer winter in your new shop.

[@jasonjames2233]

You guys need to put like a 1-2 inch dead air space around that stove and put a blower in the back somewhere, Run some 4-6 inch ductwork straight up to the ceiling and then over to all the corners of the shop. That's how I heat my 50x60 20 ft ceilings and it will run you out of there. I know youtube has a thing about background noise in videos but at least you could get it warm and turn the fan off or put a 4-inch PC fan inline somewhere to help pull push the air.

[@ItsSlusher]

"Now we gotta chop it down a second time!" Probably one of the funniest "In the moment" things to say when a tree re-plants itself after you chopped it down.

[@kerrypierre9494]

[@gages.garage1578]

[@terencegrams5799]

I use a shop with wood heat, go to hobo freight or somewhere and get a decent size shop fan, play with the angle of the fan you'll notice a HUGE difference in how your shop is heated with a little circulation

[@nickrudd2568]

I have a plan for easy snow removal. Put Tarps on your (dryish) shed roofs, When it snows, Tie the 6x6 to the tarps and drag them off the roofs.

Hey guys, I don’t know that you really need anymore Barbie jeeps but if you’re considering another build I’d love to see an electric version! It would be really cool if you used the same kit as that power wheels car you did a little bit ago and then had a face off between the ultimate gas Barbie jeep and electric.

My arms were itching watching y’all sand the fiberglass. Reminds me of crawling through insulated attics for work😂

[@AhnkoCheeOutdoors]

Aloha Ethan. This episode was a tad nostalgic for me when I heard "20 below zero". Wife and I are Hawaiians that as newlyweds wanted to try a change of scenery so of all places we chose McCall, Idaho which at the time (1981) was a sleepy little town of 2000. Our Hawaiian winters get down to a bone-chilling 60 degrees in January. I remember it getting down to 20 below zero in the dead of winter in McCall, but we were very well acclimated so evening walks in 20 below temps were enjoyable as long as we didn't breathe too hard, and freeze our throats. McCall I believe now has a population of 14,000, so not as sleepy or little as back then. Mahalo nui for a walk down memory lane. 😉🤙
