Good work channel sponsor

[@lancehigdon8683]

Why don't you just put another radiator in it

[@andrewspirk6502]

What most youtubers drag out for months, Chris completes in one video.

[@10eLSe11]

And that's why I much prefer his videos

[@10eLSe11]

I love how 99 times out of 100 you always have the spare parts to hand. A true inspiration

[@nicklewis2734]

Booooommmm NNKH babyyyyyy…Chris.. your a legend, just getting the job done, down with it… Your channel is the awesome… keep up the great work you do brother..

[@jefferybye2169]

Hell yea part 2..Caddy Swamp Ass

[@gmiller442]

Old Caddy engines for the win. I really dig the NNKH videos. They are exactly that. No nonsense and more knowledge. How can you go wrong?

[@MikeCarlson-ly3zy]

Love the airboat, memories of my buddy and I cruiz’n the Everglades in a 21 footer and stoppen to check out a gator that was longer than the boat. You will have a blast. Not so dead guy your friend for ever MIKE

[@stevesalvage1089]

Great content thanks for including mess ups because that's real ! Great vintage project !

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Lots of mess ups in this one! Lol

[@johnzdrazil2140]

Love what you did with the old prop. Putting it on your garage.

[@Laine_1]

Good call swapping all the less thought about nuts and bolts to stainless.. a lot of folks would have just rattle canned the old stuff

[@DDR3066]

Can't wait to see this up and running NNKH.

[@mickmarshall9254]

NNKH great video

[@tommynettleton3823]

Have no interest in airboats, but I've watched it 3 times already. Learned so much and it was super fun to watch. Love you're 'lets just get to it ' approach. Keep it up

[@DannebergAcres]

I'm way late to the NNNH party but thanks for all the laughs!!!! I totally needed this. As a life long restorer and tinkerer its great to see you youngins learning the hard way - not from YT! I was commenting out loud in part 1 about the prop pitch and direction, then spit my lunch out over the vinegar and salt making HCl comment - totally ruined Fish and chips for me. The gold paint and buff was the capper! Almost looks like 4 grand now! Loved every minute of this - you're like a modern day Red Green! It's only temporary - unless it works!

[@mikeeastmond1020]

"Duck tape and good intentions" , that's what we live by 🤣🤣🤣

[@MetamorphicWonders]

When you tested those LED lights in the dark, i bet that chicken thought he was being abducted by aliens!!!

[@notold37]

Love watching you restore these old builds, and the prop is something that I'd do, those lights are so bright, awesome video mate, 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia

[@raymondcoggins297]

Gonna be a cool build

[@richardthomas1743]

Hey Chris! She is coming along real good. I am surprised that the porcelain center did not blow out of the spark plugs and that was an interesting display of the good plug compared to a misfiring plug. And yes good call on replacing the radiator, I was wondering how badly the inside of the cores were plugged. I am looking forward to see this out on the water. Thumbs UP man ! 👍

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Hey Richard. Yeah I'm digging the way she's looking as well! Can't wait to get it on the water. I appreciate you checking out the video!

[@papabearof3]

You my friend is who'd I want around during a zombie apocalypse

[@thecajunpaw6041]

Yes I appreciate the the in and outs even when you make mistakes and how you correct them that's what helps inspire us that are challenged and helps us to overcome and to keep on fixing something doing something and having something I've enjoyed the video I will definitely be a fan

[@nastyn8te328]

I'm glad you poked a hole in the radiator because I was thinking it would probably fail while you were out having a good time and it's a good thing you had to change it so you didn't get stuck out on the water

[@icarus901]

The hotel food/chafing pans are genius for oil pans, rust removal baths, etc. Noted..

[@terrycunningham8118]

I put Nilights on my tactor and my DR and I'm really impressed. They're bright, don't draw much power, and they can put up with a massive amount of vibration.

[@boatcopso]

Great Video ran a airboat for 15 years with Sheriff's Dept.

[@jlucasound]

PB Blaster is what all the pros use, and it has been around for at least 22 years, that I can remember.

[@reddog9025]

You can pickle galvanized metal with Vinagar or Galvaprep before painting and it will last a lot longer, and muriatic acid works very well for cleaning off rust...

[@richardlevandowski7384]

The air boat looks like it's going to be fun on the water.

[@rayrichmond4746]

I just rebuilt an old bass boat to take my grandkids fishing so I can send pictures to Nakhon!

[@thebeek123]

The gold paint gives it some class.

[@zpadventures7440]

Man I’ve been looking forward to this video haha came out perfect timing too I’m on my lunch brake

[@anton101101]

Mmm lunch brake, a disc between some bread.

[@itsteeskey]

Always look forward to another nnkh video💯

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks I appreciate you checking them out!

[@itsteeskey]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow of course man love the content and vibes!

[@stephenhammer7357]

Chris you work like a beast

[@donjuan7428]

Tip! Wipe galvanized metal with vinegar allow to dry before painting. Enjoying the videos, thank you. Happy Holidays!

[@432b86ed]

Your resistance to punishment is impressive. Your work ethic, even more so. Inspiring stuff.

[@jefferybye2169]

Congratulations on getting that sponsor Chris, you freakn deserve it dude

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks man! Yeah it's hard to say no to that kind of thing because I'm definitely dumping quite a bit of time and some money into this boat. And it's not like I'll ever be able to sell this thing for how much money I put into it

[@jefferybye2169]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow wish i could enter your contest cause i really need them to put on camper, was gonna take my son camping for his birthday and they would be perfect..but i dont have Facebook or Instagram..dammit

[@claztube]

I was known for the habit of which I see in you Chris. ...........You apologize for 'no good' reason too much. I say that's bc you're a decent and humble soul that likes people, being human and loving the life you have been blessed to live.

[@Ziptiesandbalumwire]

Nnkh. That fan boat is awesome and the lights and gauges are kool also

[@gmoney9588]

Chris ! We ought to call you GOLDFINGER ! I thought Oldsmobiles were gold but a Cadillac engine blows them away , all day . You are a very hard worker and very passionate about achieving your goals . You have energy to spare and that’s what gets the job done . Congratulations on gaining a sponsor . I think they have found someone who uses their product religiously and will show honest review .

[@THE-SHOP]

Another awesome video. Be some sweet Jeep lights.

[@donstewart2059]

Good video on getting old engines going

[@chrischatfield2935]

This things coming round quick NNKH

[@davidfarmer1666]

NNKH , sure the lights are long gone but wanted you to know I watch your videos to the end. Enjoy and keep pumping out the great work.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks very much for that! Appreciate you tuning in

[@walterrobbins4470]

Very nice metal workbench

[@rexvaughn986]

We need to see a final video on the SwampAss on the water.

[@metrickarma]

Alex is hilarious! Buy a boat together again hahaha

[@thecapedgremlin0001]

Amazing efficiency...

[@itsmephil2255]

Amazing how a little time and effort can transform something into a thing of beauty

[@edlittle781]

NNKH, love your back yard mechanic heart and attitude, reminds me of myself as a young man...keep up the great work!

[@navara97]

Love the air boatNNKH, love your work

[@astravanmk2]

This is coming along superb. It’s really cool to see all the new parts getting fitted to an old unit.

[@rexvaughn986]

Just found your channel and I am really enjoying your content. Can’t wait to see how the boat turns out. I think your video pacing is perfect. Enough detail to show what you are doing without becoming a how-to video. Keep up the great work.

[@jlucasound]

Stuart Warner were the must have in my heyday.

[@marshallmullis914]

Always been Mopar Like what you did on old Dodges. I can't wait to see the air boat.

[@douglasschmidt6873]

That rattle can paint job never disappoints boys

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Truth!

[@randallsmerna384]

I would have thought to mount those bleacher seats with a much longer carriage bolt that went all the way through but you did it a completely different way than even what you're suggested prior. I love how there's a hundred ways to skin a cat!

[@aaronneuder7005]

You guys seem like the kind of guys I'd like to hang out with.

[@GorhamWorks]

Can I just say your channel is so fun to watch! Really enjoy the content you work your butt off to make! Thanks for being honest and sharing the adventure!

[@rickbarger5161]

What a bummer on that prop I wouldn't have thought of it either I would have just been so excited to find one

[@walkingthruyourdata-6019]

Blaster! Nice! It's like coffee in the morning!

[@scottwright388]

I love your dedication to this project...can't wait for part 3

[@DFMurray]

It's a rust converter. It's strips the oxygen off the rust leaving only the black iron behind.

[@fundingo11]

Chris, I really enjoy your videos and I like the way you edit them to. You include all the details while cutting out all the fat . Also we’re practically neighbors which makes watching your channel even cooler! Keep up the good work

[@jamesmanxbuggy]

Awesome work! my dad and grandfather both have 1954 Cadillacs both needing restoration I started watching your channel about three months ago because I love getting old stuff running as well! Your bass dumpster inspired me to drive out to Nevada from Cali with my gramps to pick up a pos free boat and today with the help of my old man we got the omc 351 Windsor fired up! It’s an awesome feeling,this week I’ll be rebuilding the carb to see if I can get the secondaries moving , trying to fix the cracked exhaust manifolds and depending on how far I get I might even toss some wood over the rotten floor fun time!! Nnkh for the win!!!

[@jackjaeger2189]

I rehabbed an old boat a few years ago. Had to replace a lot of the transom, most of the boxes on the interior and new carpet. Painted camo. It was a fun project just as your is. Keep going.

[@dougg1075]

Love the way you kept in trying to pull the crank pulley without removing bolts:) Shows us you are human after all:)

[@dwhite8132]

Bolt a sheet of Teflon on the bottom of boat. lt and you can drive it over any surface. Right down a concrete ramp

[@bigbobvub]

I know I'm late, your videos are so down to earth and captivating I'll comment all the same. After watching the 1st video in this series and watching you guys breathe air into that beat up Caddy motor, I had to check out the next 2, Catching that blade angle on your prop was very clever. I hadn't thought of that either. I'm on to your next video of the series, part 3. I'm confident enough to predict it'll be awesome!

[@JeffreyEral]

Just wanted to say thanks for showing the blaster metal rescue. I just used it this weekend on a carter carb that had been rusted closed for many years. I was stunned to see how clean it was when I pulled it out after only 12hrs. Its freed up and looking like new. Love the videos. Thanks again!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yeah the stuff really works amazing! Awesome to hear you had the same experience!

[@funtymsforever605]

awesome video. for rust use distilled white vinegar. the 30% cleaning distilled white vinegar found at a home improvement center is best. rust removal through electrolysis works also.

[@nickysindora6952]

I love your videos keep up the good work much love from Trenton NJ

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks Nicky for the support!

[@nickysindora6952]

Your welcome

[@garysutherland1149]

Can’t wait to hear that caddy scream ! NNKH

[@georgeparker7409]

A big "atta boy". Love the way you have "stash" of needed supplies. Blaster stuff is the best in that penetrating product, I have tried 'em all.

[@gillgetter3004]

Man that’s a lot of bolts!! All stainless is a must on boats, I’ve used galvanized and chromium only having to replace in a few years. It’s looking real good 👍

[@terryadams4857]

I have recently restumbed upon ur channel and seem to be addicted 😬love ur enthusiasm and the way u go about things reusing old bits etc keep up the great vids 👍love how u mix it all up as well top job👌😎

[@rhyswoodman6781]

Molasses/water 50/50 soak also good for removing rust. Much better for environment too no nasty chemicals.

[@ottersdangerden]

I have etched copper pcb's with 50/50 vineger and peroxide then add small amounts of salt to get it to etch faster.

[@docktorleaky5869]

You should try using electrolysis, using a battery charger for power, to clean the metal parts.Use washing soda and water. Works really well. Found the correct set up on another you tube channel. 24 hrs and the rust is pretty well gone.

[@evremondeburrows5405]

Always enjoy your videos

[@AB-bg1or]

Found your channel a few weeks ago. I'm hooked! Keep em coming.

[@de9ux]

It's coming together really well, glad the sponsors are supporting you with fantastic products that really work. Keep up the brilliant content 👍🇬🇧

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks man! Yeah it's definitely a nice thing because it allows for buying more tools and putting more money into some of these projects. Hopefully start doing some more giveaway stuff as well!

[@everetthobbies2062]

Boring stuff ? We love this stuff

[@johnbunkle3280]

Hi Chris, John from across the pond just wanted to say I've got everyone I know onto your content as you tackle the shit we all wish we could find! Keep on making in my opinion the best content bar none and on my favourite link NNKH!

Great down to earth channel. NNKH

[@patrickarrigo6288]

Just started watching your videos and loving them

[@brettbritton7795]

If you pickle the galvanized metal (wipe it down with white vinegar) it promotes paint adhesion -- works pretty good -- great videos, keep up the good work !

NNKH, Those lights would look great on my Ford 8N tractor. Really enjoy the channel, inspirational.

I got to admit after part one I thought you where just gonna drop her in the water on 7 cylinders but already in part 2 went to stage three this is going to be a great build

[@vancejones2483]

WOW!!! That's incredible work and patience. Love all your videos and your girlfriend too. Y'all make a great couple.

[@troyrunyan249]

Awesome work, I really enjoy your videos. Bummer about the prop! I drive a Cadillac so I’m excited to see it fly down the river!

Thanks. And yeah that was kind of embarrassing that we both overlooked that! Lol. She'll be on the river soon hopefully
