I agree with Cleveland, it's great to see Logan involved. I wish had the opportunity to start welding at Logan's age, but instead I'm still grinding at Jeff's. Great video Gang, Thanks!

LOL

I have to do the same bit of work on my 62 Fairlane. Thanks for putting these videos out to give help and ideas.

[@clevelandmaker386]

good video as usual...those toe boards are a major pain... I'm glad that Logan is getting his hands dirty.....helps him to appreciate his ride more I wish I could weld but I never had anyone to give me an chance! but anyway thanks for the lesson!

[@AutoRestoMod]

WHAT?! no Starliner comment. Ya slippin Cleveland!

[@biglakehotrods381]

I always follow a golden rule. A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t! Awesome progress finally getting those toe boards welded in!

[@AutoRestoMod]

Right on

[@matjeckering5536]

Wish you would have started this last year before I started mine! Lol! Keep up the great work!

[@67Stang]

Another step closer. Glad to see the next generation getting into the act. If Logan wants more welding practice I have some toe boards and floorpans that need to be welding into my Stang.

[@AutoRestoMod]

Cool little story: I told Logan that he needed to finish up the welding after we got done late Sunday. He responded with a "yeah." I left him alone about it to see what he'd do. The next evening after he got home from work (outside stuff; hot and tiring) I heard the MIG running. Made me a proud stepdad. If he goes out and does that unasked and after a long day of work...he's into it.

[@67Stang]

@@AutoRestoMod That is great to hear. At my house, all I hear is I really want that car when you are gone. But when I ask for help, suddenly they all disappear.

I have a 1962 Ford F100 Unibody. I'm right down the road from you guys in Statesboro. If you need something to work on, I'll happily bring it to you!!!!!!

[@AutoRestoMod]

LOL Love the unitbody F100s! We don't have a shop, we are literally doing this in my 40x40 home garage.

[@paul210]

you should get to gather with Jo Daddy's Garage and do a meet and great , you both have great info

[@AutoRestoMod]

I might have to reach out to Jo.

Nice job! Welding is always tough. How long is the power cord to the wall etc... Do you best. Try welding at an angle and closer to the job. I know it's tough. Straight on welding is hard to see your work. My first weldings was horrible. My last welding, not so horrible. :-) Great video as always!

[@neadie1000]

As Jonathan says you don’t have to be a good welder if you’re a good grinder!

[@brianhigginbotham4489]

Santa to Mr Ford : Your getting a grinder for Christmas cause I saw your welds lol ! Just kidding - as always a great video !

[@AutoRestoMod]

You got that right!

[@RealWorldGarage]

I found drilling the hole larger works out better as well. Actually figured it out by accident. I “thought” that they were to big when I did the first panel. I drilled them even bigger when I installed the other side. It’s been 5 years since I did that job, my buddy was talking about driving the ole Stang around on Father’s Day, so I must’ve done something right. I can’t wait until I can start on my 64 Merc comet.

[@AutoRestoMod]

We'll be doing some stuff on our '1964 hardtop soon. The driveline on that car goes in this car.

[@andrewe7165]

Sounds and looks like you need a little more heat and/or less wire for those spots welds. Would be worth mentioning for those that don't know that grinding galvanizing creates toxic dust and also welding to anything galvanized creates real ugly week welds. Love the shows and keep em coming!!

[@AutoRestoMod]

Yeah, I have mentioned it in the past...and forgot on this one.

[@guillermonieri4203]

Nice. I am working on my toe boards myself. Thank you.

[@AutoRestoMod]

You can do it!

[@guillermonieri4203]

@@AutoRestoMod Thank you. I did, the passenger side; it was easier and looks better than the driver's side; just because I followed the process you followed (I did the driver's side the day before you started with the toe boards).

[@brianwaskow5910]

What about all the other rust?

[@AutoRestoMod]

We'll be handling it.

[@brianwaskow5910]

Do you buy your wire wheels by the pound?

[@trkinwithmikey]

Wow you've really have a problem with toe jam that explains the Zink primer. Thanks I learned something new today!

[@AutoRestoMod]

Glad it was helpful!
