It's refreshing to get back to rust repair. Always fascinating to see the rust slowly being eradicated. Great to see an old truck getting a new lease of life.

[@Flexnes1]

YES!!! As soon as i saw that truck I thought that it would be a shame to get rid of all that lovely patina. So happy you're going to retain that patinated look. Hat's off. Again!

[@simonbell9476]

The Japanese have a wonderful philosophy of "Kintsugi". It emphasizes the repair, celebrating the repair and continued life of an object. Please don't hide any of the repairs on the outside. Take pride in the repair work achieved, the beauty of transformation and continued life. 👍

[@anomamos9095]

Tip When you need shaped bits of steel sheet to repair rust you might find them in your local dollar store it the cooking and backing equipment isle. Cheap roasting pans muffin trays etc are often just perfect to cut up for a patch panel.

[@Papa-Bogey]

I’m here first because I was up for the Australian F1 race. And to feed the algorithm. Patreon for the win.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Thanks mate, glad to have you here :D

[@barryrsahrp]

Jeff, a big Job is only a collection of smaller jobs added together.

[@tomthumb4767]

Lets put a 7.3 torque monster in this one .

[@TheRealCoyote]

So happy to hear it will be a "patina" build. When I saw the truck I thought please don't make it nice and shiny. Love the design of trucks from that era. Great project! Best of luck!

[@ronbeckhaus7326]

Jeff, my Dad and I restored a '29 Dodge car which had a cowl vent similar to the one you have. It is surprising how effective the blast of air from them is. They are the most efficient way of getting bulk air flow into the vehicle without blowing your ear drums out with buffeting. Even in summer, the cooling effect is surprising. A lot of guys back then didn't bother with them and actually welded the vent lid I to the cowl so it was there for show, but never opened. I love watching you tackle the rust patches and your commentary makes it easy to understand and follow. Cheers, mate, see you next week

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Thanks mate. I could have just welded a plate over the top and call it a day, but I think it is worth keeping :D

[@soranrix]

Patina the way i like fake, i hate rust, so iam fan keep up the good work regards sören

[@mikewatson4967]

The cowl vent and the wing windows are a lifesaver in warm weather. The amount of air flow without being blown away is amazing. Definitely worth keeping. I have a 60 Impala with floor vents that work exactly like the cowl vent and even in hot Southern California summers (90+F) I don’t need AC as l am rolling.

[@andrewilliams3406]

I`m not a fan of the Patina look but I'm a fan of everything you`ve touched till now. Some Air Brushing would be crazy though. Still want to see a Home Built Lowrider🤣

[@seanalexander9531]

Hey Jeff, not sure what your plans for an English wheel are but I reckon there's half a chance you'll home-build one. If so, maybe check out Quick Bikes - Simon (who unfortunately passed away last year but his channel is still going) built one and the design is super simple. I made this one and bought a cheap/small set of wheel/dollies to see how I went. I haven't used it much but it's a super handy tool, and I'll eventually buy the larger wheel and dollies (I made it to take the larger wheel if I went that way).

[@rjung_ch]

Will you be doing anything on the Rockster any time soon?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Yes, it is on the list ;)

[@animal_engineering]

Good stuff Jeff, back down the rabbit hole again. Cool as that your doing a patina hauler. I used a rust converter on my van and was amazed at how much factory paint just appeared as the rust was killed off. Keen as to see this one come together.

[@chrisoo8998]

Man I'm excited for this project. I like how you want the inside perfect

[@johnnysmith863]

Patina build is a great plan and Frankenhauler is the perfect name for it. Nice one, Jeff.

[@waynesinclair9746]

I used to drive a Mazda Bongo van for my service van and it had a similar vent in the front, what a shame they are not still in use.

[@johngibson3837]

Same with old landcrusier had vents on side ov footwell worked great

[@dandoyle2994]

Awesome Jeff. Love your talents, skills and determination. I grew up on a dairy farm in Canada and learned to drive on our 1952 Ford F100 farm truck. A local welder brazed in a couple fender patches and my brother and I painted it black with a brush and a roller. Painted the 6.50x16 wheels with silver rust paint we had laying around. Had a 239 flathead V8 with almost no muffler. Drove it to high school dances and to the beach whenever I could. Wonderful memories but I wish I had your skills. Nevertheless, it was great recalling events that are now 60 yrs old. I still ride a motorcycle and repair old bikes when I can. FYI, I watched your Grand Prix late last night. All the best.

[@user-qr7ee2cp4y]

I applaud anyone who tear a car down to nothing and rebuild it. That is a monument task

[@Roger-hq1yt]

Patina build...followed by the sound of multiple unsubscribing... lovely metal repairs, great choice of chassis too.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Haha. Good thing I build what I want, not for the 'Tube' :D

[@zeemanjr]

Patina build sounds really good. Funky cole patina

[@johnglennon5018]

Always love your videos and looking forward to the truck biuld, thanks Jeff!!

[@rpeterson223]

Mrs J adds so much class to your channel, 😊

[@snoosebaum995]

i'm addicted to watching 'yorkshire car restoration ' . like you ive always used TIG but they use MIG very effectively , i've tried it a bit and there is less heat , so less distortion AND mig is like a glue gun

[@mattgates2191]

Seems you are getting more comfortable with TIG welding now. You use that more.

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

I like where your mind is on this truck. IMO, you are absolutely on the right path! Looking forward to the journey ahead of us. All the best!

[@rjung_ch]

This will be a fun build for sure. Thanks Jeff for this new interesting conversion! 👍💪✌

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

There’s some stunning fake rust products out there now. I’ve seen airbrushed patina jobs that look completely genuine.

[@andrewdixon6078]

Another great build to watch weekly! Keep em coming👍🏻

[@davidburne9477]

Jeff, what about patching and repairing with Corten steel for that wonderful oxidised patina???

[@alman6581]

Great work and vision Jeff. Keep em coming.

[@1one3_Racing]

Mate, I've got 2 cars completely torn apart, every part and panel stripped, and I'm building 1 good car out of the 2. But doing these rust repairs turns my stomach! Power to you, looks great!

[@mackellmo1083]

Nice work. You're becoming quite the body man!

[@andrewdunbar828]

After watching so many Canadian and British builds recently, seeing this described as "so much rust" made me chuckle a bit. But it definitely would've scared me back in the '80s.

[@peterwarner8541]

Quick progress! Watch TeamArmyTrucks part 18, he’s just fixed a roof almost identical to yours on a unimog with the same rust damage to the channels and screen frame!

[@dsmith2182]

Wow - a Country Road pullover! Jeff - are you targetting a different audience?

[@chrismurray5168]

Such sooks… your build Jeff do what you want. Will it have patina race stripes😂.

[@jrumiano]

Jeff, excellent metal working skills! This is going to be a nice build to watch!

[@sarahlivingstone8367]

Brilliant, really enjoy your vids and great to see Mrs Jeff involved. I've started restoring a 1985 Rover SD1 which will have some subtle "updates". I really need to get a shrinker/stretcher - lower on the Rover windscreen surround was a bit time consuming

[@alexlongpre4527]

Hi Jeff. Great video once again. I was pondering something the other day and you came up to mind since you have experience with both things on my mind.... Do you think that the Ferrari engine would fit the S30 chassis? I have a Z in the process of being Rb25 swapped, but an opportunity to buy the same Ferrari engine you put in the alfarrari came up and my gears started spooning... Please tell me it's impossible haha

[@williamfreret6859]

Perfect painted/finished interior with all comfort to drive it, as this is what you'll see the most of the time, then patina outside will be a good mix. Nice project!

[@killbill_1967]

Hey Jeff, hope you can retain the cowl fresh air vent in the completed project. I think they are a cool feature of the truck and they are great for bringing fresh air into the cabin when the weather isn’t too hot.

[@chrisgarside7974]

Love the approach to a patina build and really looking forward to the build. Think the project name will be Frank !

[@ronkluwe4875]

Jeff - Fully on board with the patina repair and really looking forward to your airbrush skills applied to a patina finish.

[@-MacCat-]

Eating yet another elephant one bite at a time! I'm going to enjoy this series, a lot. Thanks to you both.

[@andrewevans3100]

Great work as usual Jeff, going to enjoy this restoration process.

[@josephkelly4893]

Jeff, your enthusiasm is infectious, I can see the way Mrs Jeff gets caught up in your excitement too, you make a great team!! Keep up the hard work, peace

[@mikl911]

This is my favourite part of the process, to watch and do. Very nice work as always.

[@andynicoll8566]

Gawd I hate patina! But, it's your truck do whatever you like, lol. I drove nothing but old beat up rusty cars as a kid and I wanted nice rust free vehicles.

[@francisouellette5938]

As usual, you make it look easy. Nice work and I love the reason you're keeping the patina as we will learn a bit about air brush work. Love it. And it feels so good to see a new project. Dont get me wrrong, the alfarrari was epic but when it gets to the final details, I personally do not enjoy it as much. That's for me anyways.

[@jefftriplett7561]

I am really excited about watching this build!

[@mikewood3791]

Can your please organise you videos into chapters for each build.

[@anomamos9095]

The telegram spammer is back. Why do they bother? Is there anyone dumb or clueless enough left to fall for such scammers?

[@williamr1499]

I’m a truck driver driving through the West Texas Plains kickingPlains kicking over into Louisiana Your channel is my favorite

[@veteran011]

I know you want to keep the exterior patina but it still may be wise to sandblast the interior, especially if you want it as nice as you say you do. Why don't you reach out to Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering to see if you could do a collab? He's got a sweet pressure washer setup that could help you and I don't think he's that far away from you.

[@MattiaRaffaldi]

Curious on how you will remove all the rust but leave the patina, isn't most of that patina rust starting to form? How you prevent that from becoming a problem in a fee years?

[@obsessive_doka_disorder]

Once again a real helpful session, and of course the cherry blopses 👍🏻🙃

[@dominicdent422]

Jeff contact Dominic Chinea and get a Ranalah English wheel.

[@aw9894]

how do you finance such work? must be tons going into this. Wish I had the means to start.

[@FstopPicturesByAlunDavies]

Rat rod. Vibes for the frankenhauler.

[@joejenkins5650]

Jeff, you’re off to a great start. Can’t wait to see how it all plays out. Cheers.

[@alanstrathern]

Its no Jeff Build until it has a racing stripe.😂

[@FanatikBuilds]

Lot of work ahead but you’re off to a great start Jeff! 👍

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Thanks mate. This is the fun bit :D

[@djnmv]

Great work Jeff! Are you going to put a clear coat over the patina?

[@siqdon]

What about safety (Airbags)?

[@geniferteal4178]

Were you a club kid? Is that how you met your hot wife? 😍

[@normanmeador7956]

A tilt front on the truck would be good for ease of maintenance.

[@billmcintosh1242]

Great to see the first stage of rust repairs, all projects start with the first step. Keep it up. Bill Mc

[@TigerRogers0660]

Love the idea Jeff !! You're going to do what Johnathon Ward in the US does - patina outside, like new inside! I'm sure your skills are up to it !!

[@johan21mp]

Great repairs Jeff. Shame there was a bit more rust in the shell, than it seemed

[@fraserwright9482]

The cowl vent, keep the opening as you need air inlet for the HVAC. Make a box with air intakes for the HVAC and flow thru in taken from the sides of this box. But have a plate protecting them so that water/bugs/dirt get blown down not in the cab or rain fills the cab if you drive in the rain. Like this [°\ ] Make the exit duct or tube small enough to get positive pressure for your vents/HVAC, but drain that volume of water if you are in a thunderstorm or car wash. The condenser drain can use the same exit

[@fraserwright9482]

You can still retain the flap to open up and the lever in the cab. But fit mesh. I would also change to electric wiper at the same time. The mechanism can pass behind the duct/box

[@fillusrahim-xy9ib]

Please no patina finished 🙏 Either a mat black or Army green not shiny just rough

[@anthonycunningham5872]

Happy Easter to you and Mrs. Jeff

[@MrBeeMeR320D]

You are one brave man, tackling all that rust 😳

[@stan525]

the center vent is call the Crotch Cooler vent

[@danielprivate7442]

I like the clear coat over patina look.

[@klausjensen7412]

Hi Jeff. Could you please make a video where you tell us the full specs on the Alfarari, Engine, hp, nm, gearbox type, brake type and size, tire and rim size, plus all the rest technical data you have on the Alfarari.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Already covered in every detail in the videos.

[@fat65buick]

Enjoy your builds. Just wondering if you’re going to the local cars and coffee this Sunday. If so I look forward to meeting you. I’ll probably be in an LS swapped Toyota 86 Tony G

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Look forward to seeing that :D

[@MicahBell_1860]

Got the popcorn on for the comments from the viewers triggered by your plans

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Never going to keep everyone happy. Good thing I build them for me :D

[@TheBuildRoom]

Hey Jeff - just out of interest how much time did you spend on the rust work in todays ep? It's always hard to tell in youtube vids how much time goes into doing the work.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

This episode in total was about 3.5 days work.

[@TheBuildRoom]

@@HomeBuiltByJeff cheers Jeff, good to know

[@Tuscanvince]

Do you do this full-time 🤔

[@moonface978]

Aren’t you ever tempted to stick a bit of rustolium and fibreglass filler on some of these non structural fiddly bits of rust repair , there I’ve said it 🙊

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Nope. I will keep patina, but it is still going to be repaired properly.

[@bigmac60]

Frankenhauler. 😂

[@laurentiuprisacariu9905]

I love these videos🎉

[@jeppenordfosskristensen7319]

Cool Project 🏁👌🏻

[@patfilice]

Fantastic work

[@billmeldrum2509]

Jeff… you’ve got the biggest balls in the southern hemisphere! Great name. Great project. Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦

[@jon-mart]

It’s a great name.

[@NDHIZK1]

Great video thank you! Do you ever just use a blob of weld to fill up rust holes?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Never

[@danielhughes9556]

This is how I'm doing my 510/1600. patina on the out side, no rust, all the creature comforts of modern days cars. Now do a 510/1600 2 door next!!!

[@willemjordaan4108]

Nice to see you do some metal repairs. What grade of mildsteel do one use for roadcars? Just any? I'm really interested. Luckily in South-Africa there's not much rusting, except at the coast. Greetings Jeff and Mrs!❤😂😊

[@deano41.123]

Great work guys. Satisfying to watch. Love how you explained & broke it down into parts and laying out a plan at the start. Doing rust repair like these would be a great way to clock up those 1000 hrs before moving onto harder jobs. Cheers 👊

[@benjohnson7170]

Tig Envy.... I do half arsed mig rust repairs 🙄. What a painfully time consuming process. Love yer work champ!

[@unavailable8681]

50's rust and patina! It's like watching @DDSpeedShop, but without snow!😁

[@TremendousCreations]

Tremendous episode. Really learnt alot. Thanks Jeff.

[@toddatstone_city_outlaw8714]

What gauge steal are you using on patch panels verses the original steal?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I am using .9mm which is similar to the original.

[@firbolg]

Just watched the Aussie F1 GP and now I'm getting a look at your great video while having a nice cup of coffee... what a perfect Sunday morning!

[@thomassoderstrom6369]

An English Wheel for the roof? Really? Stretch the center out even more? I know that if you cut the center out you're already skilled enough to work the edges back to shape with a body hammer. You could replace the center with a sunroof. I know, it would look like you pulled the cab off an 80's hot rod, but it would save a lot of time.

[@watersmart1]

Jeff, you and Jay at Lowstandards should do a collaboration? Love the contact of you 2 down under.👍❤️🇨🇦

[@TECsta76]

You got to source a tree stump and then shave a curve in the top… Make it about 1 meter tall…

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Already have one ;)

[@chrishenniker5944]

Mrs Jeff would be interested in Fordandia and and Ford’s own advocacy for eugenics, they’re shocking fun facts.
