Off-Road Hot Rod, Done!

[@donaldcampbell5277]

Years ago, a stranded motorist stopped in front of my house late at night with an overheating problem. I made a thermostat gasket out of an old paper milk carton, used 2 layers, and worked fine, and they made it back to Ohio.

[@kingfunk9336]

Milk carton gaskets work really well. Trinidad Co. To ABQ. N.M. no leaks on water pump of old Oldsmobile

[@Goomer]

I would have been rooting for Low-Buck Garage over Finnegan. This thing is cool.

[@remko1238]

This dude is the best

[@rosscullen531]

​@@remko1238Definitely! Editing his own videos, filming and taking care of his KZbin channel, juggling 12 projects at once, and being about 10 yrs older than me inspires me a bit to get off my lazy ass and finish something.

[@lalnablehector1285]

Thing is Finnegan is a nice guy and has always been a fan of people that do this sorta thing, it's really the race commentator that was being a real dick but i wouldn't blame Finnegan for that.

[@DillonHFM]

I'm glad someone else also uses the term "Precision Eye-crometer"

[@staninjapan07]

I missed that. It's a good one!

[@IDunno655]

I'd LOVE to make this street legal. Looks like a fun little summer driver.

[@Codethe_Road]

How hasn't this channel popped off to a million subs yet? It's coming. Once you hit somebody's feed any they shout you out-- you're gunna be huger than huge. Best videos.

[@staninjapan07]

Yeah, it fast became one of my top 5 on YT.

[@thedude2278]

Low-Buck Garage is literally a mixture of Vice Grip Garage and Mustie1. Keep up the good work Low-Buck

[@thegusk520]

Don't insult James by comparing him to that juvenile, annoying clown at Vice Grip Garage.

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Probably one of the best Ebay sale listings ever. All the best with the sale!

[@TheOtherBill]

The only thing it's missing is a Low-Buck Garage sticker on the back, like real dealers use so that the paint gets ruined when you remove it.

[@ProctorSilex]

@@TheOtherBill The paint was ruined when he sprayed it :)

[@gabeteuton]

@@TheOtherBill loled pretty hard at this, until i saw the next comment :B

[@tda2806]

You must be having fun, because I had fun watching, thank you.😁

[@stebishopnomad1838]

You put other you tube channels to shame.absolutley brilliant Chanel

[@duaneayers6117]

The makers of the spray paint. Should be 1 of your sponsors. Because you do use a lot of rattle cans. lol Great Videos to watch.

[@GarethPierce69]

Damn, if I wasn’t in the UK, I’d buy it. Looks a whole lot of fun to throw around a quarry.

[@david929190]

You make things like cleaning up the engine, dressing it with an intake, carb and pan and headers seem quick. Having done it I know it's a lot of hours of fun.

[@dirk4926]

I'm glad you're moving on in life and selling this one

[@stringlarson1247]

I love everything about this, save for the fact that I can't buy it. Just found your channel. Love your obvious skills and ability to 'just make it work' attitude. It's a great combination.

[@billyhaddock5540]

Thanks Low-Buck Garage, for taken-us for a ride in ur Off-Rode Buggy. I would love to buy the Buggy, butt like most people, short on money.

[@Trump_Won_AGAIN]

running engine goes outside under an old sign and a ripped up rag, blown up engine goes in the shed 😂😂😂 i love your style! NEVER CHANGE

[@cheekymonkey444]

In the early '70s, I bought a 1956 Willys CJ-5. At that time, larger, wider wheels weren't available. The next best thing was to do exactly as you did. Punch out the rivets and find a wider car wheel to weld it to. Later, farm implement wheels were made with the Jeep bolt pattern. Unfortunately, the tire selection was kind of slim. You could get wide tires, but the tread was only 8" wide. They looked funny. A big fat sidewall and skinny tread design.

[@Freedbird]

That's a great hotrod ! I hope whoever buys it stays in touch with any updates. Me, I'd just send it !

[@ronjones1077]

Here I am going back watching some of your earlier videos. Al I ca say is thank you for being a bit above average in the looks department (we’re tied) because you are WAY smarter than most of us in the “how to” department! You sir are my favorite YT automotive how to channel. I watch dozens of these web sites and you are heads and shoulders better than every other one! I thank you and the others for the ideas you offer. I’m pretty good on the body and paint aspects(won a bunch of car shows and had a few well known people comment and or buy my vehicles, but you are special. Thank you!

[@mw7615]

Really like your channel. Great humor, creativity and git-er-doneness in all your videos and website. Sadly, no Low-Buck Buggy stickers or merch to be found...

[@jjock3239]

I am 80, and that was how I reversed rims in the late 50s and early 60s. I never bothered to reverse the fill valves, but that was only a minor inconvenience. They looked good enough, that two of them were stolen out of the box of my pickup. I call that good enough. Fun video.

[@walterbrown8694]

This has become my favorite UTube channel Reminds me of some of the stuff I used to do in the mid 50s when I had more time than money. Had an uncle who had his own garage and built and modified farm equipment, old trucks and autos - was my "hero" growing up. Keep having fun !

[@FrisellFan01]

This hot rod is sooooooooooo cool... the exhaust note is great!

[@wesgraham9588]

No wonder it took you 13 days since your last video , good job this Has got to be one of your best videos ! thx 👍👍 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@tonydowd8566]

Congratulations, this is quickly becoming my favorite KZbin video channel.

[@paulmurphy5964]

I liked your tire and wheel engineering with parts on hand. Really like your style. Nice work. Cheers from Schuylklll County PA

[@jamesblinzler7421]

Love the build, have no money to buy. So…cool for whoever ends up with it. Keep building guys that’s half the fun.

[@alangordon3283]

Love your understated brilliance in providing solutions and bringing things to life.

[@torquealleygarage]

This series has given me all sorts of ideas. Bad for my wallet. Good for my entertainment. Nice work!

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

*Eye-crometer!* 🤣 I got a good laugh from that James! That pickup screen was pretty clogged for sure! 😦 Glad you removed the oil pan. Enjoyed the video very much 🙂👍 Hopefully you can find a buyer soon. Take care, be safe and happy wrenching 🔧🔩

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

It sure looks like a lot of fun even if it rattles a few teeth loose

[@tomash9116]

This is like listening to Hank Hill, and he even has the character pat down. Been hooked since the stuck-wheel-camper-bus episode. Great videos!

[@RegularGuyLures]

I just enjoy your entire channel's philosophy. That's the same principles I endorse on my channel. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@marklelohe3754]

Great video as usual. I like your thinking and care over the important issues. Lesson 1: always have gasket paper. Lesson 2: always check your oil pick up screen, pump, level & pressure when doing stuff like this. Lesson 3: if your oil pan gets a dent check that it is not cracked or blocking your pick up.

[@dougdavidson175]

You deserve wayyyy more subs! Thanks for posting. Take care, stay safe and have FUN!

[@BREAKOVERPARK]

Big fan of your channel. The world is going to find you soon and then Heavy D will be calling you for a collaboration.

[@andrewdoran4572]

Great video......its nice to see I'm not the only one who has to look over the rim of my glasses to see stuff close up ;)

[@staninjapan07]

Yet another top-shelf video from Low Buck Garage!

[@jarm7726]

Cool perfect timing

[@davidpawson7393]

I see what you did there although it took me a while as I'm a little retarded.

[@jlucasound]

That is why I love Harbor Freight tools. If you get an electric tool for $12 that does five jobs and then craps out, you still got your money's worth. Of course not practical for a business shop. I have an angle grinder that I have used here and there, over 25 years! Cost me $12 and it still works. I bought it at one of those "Rent the Hall" tool sales. I also bought a can opener for $6. I opened my tuna can for lunch with it, this past week.

[@edryan2926]

That's a hell-uv-a nice buggy now! So much good work dun to her, you rock!

[@ridethroughlifertl]

I've used the same yellow tote lid as a parts cleaning tray for almost 2 years. Has a lot of scrapes and scratches, but no holes or cracks. Might be worth keeping!

[@fanievorster]

That buggy looks like loads of fun, with a classic touch, nice job!!

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

This would have to be one of your best videos. That was a lot of work you got through but also a hell of a lot of fun and I learnt a few things along the way. Thanks heaps. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺

[@rileymedina544]

Love it reminds me of the old water pumper buggies rocking around imperial sand dunes in the 60 70s

[@markcollins5026]

Man. I started going to the imperial sand dune's in the early 80's what a blast !

[@normhowes2975]

Amazing what can be done with enough spare "stuff"!

[@the_lost_navigator]

Don't ever change, 'Buck' - plenty of laughs and entertainment better than anything on TV today. I just wish I was with you... Kudos & Respect from the Great White North, eh!

[@MrClickbang357]

When I first started wathing you build the hood, I was skeptical. However that hood came out,dare I say, perfect for this ride!!! This was a really nice build for what you started with! And like you said, the whole thing is a 50+ year design! Real cool buggy to get out there and have fun wtih!!!! KUDOS!

[@gene_takavic57]

Homemade gaskets are where it's at! Great job!

[@billhooper85]

I love it, new old sensor going in 😂

[@Skarpeggnr1]

A new old sensor is going in. Love your style.

[@rusty6666]

Nice job on the sand buggy she really has some good torque now with better tires and the new engine that thing looks great...

[@jlucasound]

The Red Pinstriping? 👍👍 It POPS!! 💥 Reminds me of pinstriped tires for cars _and_ bicycles from the late 60's / early 70's.

[@davidpawson7393]

Yes haww, claiming my spot so I can come back when my brain wakes up. Good luck with that.

[@3rdpig]

Some young guy will have a lot of fun with that and you've given them a really good start, low buck or not. Great work!

[@timothywilliams2021]

Most old cars that had the left hand thread studs have had them replaced by now. A lot of people don't know or have forgotten about them. My Dad bought a 67 imperial. The driver side studs are left hand thread's. He was trying to remove the front wheel and was struggling with it. I told him they where probably still left hand. Checked and it was. He's been talking about replacing them since but hasn't found a real reason to yet.

[@jackiecollins9611]

This little buggy made Barn Finds today! Way to go

[@Iowa599]

Painting gaskets with axle grease before installation keeps them from sticking to flanges… works for intake gaskets, theoretically for other gaskets. They still fill the void completely, and axle grease works in place of goop. The intake has almost as much vacuum as coolant has pressure, and air leaks through smaller holes than water. I just thought of that, so I haven't tried it yet

[@markc5593]

The more I watch your channel the more I like it, thanks.

[@FYMASMD]

Wow!! You’ve got a LOT of “stuff”…😎. Cool stuff.

[@BionMTG]

I have a 69 RHD DJ5 postal Jeep that I was planning on building similarly. I have a chevy 400 and a turbo 350 trans in the garage for the build. I wanna just cut the top off and get going, but the body is in great shape, so Ive been looking for someone looking for a clean body in a trade, so I dont feel bad cutting something so cool. haha

[@ivanolsen8596]

A use for rattle cans other than graffiti, who would have thought? Great informative, entertaining and instructional vid again James, cant wait for your next!

The other great use for those paint sticks is rusty beads on wheels, works much better than most bead sealers, and it is less messy in mounting and future dismounts.

[@larryalexander4833]

Cool great project in the Low buck Fashion . Getter done with what you have and and with low as buck as possible 😁

[@kraftzion]

I can recommend the pittsburg tire changer from harbor freight. I paid $38 for mine,cant be much more than that now. Works well.

[@DwightLingenfelter]

Would like to have the Jeep! It is very nice! I think about all the different years and models pieces that you have put in there. I enjoy watching!

[@FJB8885]

I like how you fabrafit to make things work. 👍

[@herbertmistelbacher5405]

It is a good idea to paint parts that could form cracks like this oil pan light gray. New cracks are better visible. This was already done on the bogies of diesel locomotives in East Germany.

[@considertheravens7100]

Cool hood, nice work

Good enough is exactly what you need. Anything more, and either money or fun will start disappearing, usually both.

Couldn't a press be used to remove & install the wheel center, instead of a hammer?

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Where's the fun in that, eh?

It's fun, for me, because I don't hit myself or get hit by shrapnel.

Great video. Like the way you get things done. Not great, maybe not even good but good enough. That's the way my dad did it and if it was good enough for him, it's good enough for me. New subscriber. Good luck finding a buyer.
