[@reijerlincoln]

Were you blasting Glenn Miller?

[@partsandresto]

Hard yes, Glenn kicks ass.

[@reijerlincoln]

@@partsandresto You legend!

[@kbsingleton]

Enjoying your videos. I have a car project and regularly say “I don’t know what I’m doing” too. Only way to learn. 👍👍

[@timhockersmith3934]

For someone who hasn’t got a clue about what you’re doing, you’re doing a great job! Well done!

[@partsandresto]

Thanks Tim!!

"So I can drive around South Philly like a maniac." Takes me back to my high school days. I lived in Upper Darby but had friends in South Philly. Good times...great memories. Keep truckin' bud you're doing great.

[@partsandresto]

Thanks Paul!

[@jeffjames1743]

Nice work Dave! Thanks so much for the great video.

There is probably a lot of young teens who would help you work and help you clean the shop. In exchange for learning first hand how to do this stuff. Then maybe if they stick it out with you for a while, you would help them find and work on a project just for them. Good help is hard to find and so is a good teacher. They would also be learning about YT and how to build a following. There is a lot of good kids out there who need guidance and encouragement to do something with their lives. You seem like you would be a great mentor Dave.

[@paulresca6681]

Great progress. The skills you’re learning will serve you well with future builds. The time lapse works impressively with the haircut and mustache evolution. 😂👍

[@chuckeecheese162]

Just right. I like it. There is nothing like a PW.

[@partsandresto]

Amen brother.

[@REWatkins47]

I personally have enjoyed the process this far, I think your doing a great job!

[@scottsorby7966]

Must admit Dave I would much rather watch video by guys like yourself and Matt from Irontrap than professional restorers, thanks for the entertainment (and education)

[@partsandresto]

Thanks dude. Glad you’re into what I’m doing! I’m having a blast!

[@practicerepobarrie]

My truck being 2004 looks like it suffers from the same problem. I know all manufactures have issues but Dodge still falls short in preventing rust. At least up to the date of when my truck was made. Good to see you care about your neighbors (banging and using loud power tools). As your rebuilding, keep asking your self - what is the best way to build, mount, assemble ect. . . so you are preventing rust from forming as long as you can. Mating surfaces can act like gutters to trap water and salt. Especially the fender mounts. (31 Min mark)

[@jeepanimal2943]

Nice progress Boss. Drive train is looking ready. Can barely wait for the roll test though.....

[@partsandresto]

You and me both man! I’m almost caught up and I still haven’t driven it! Ahhh! Can’t wait

[@briansutton7764]

You might want to invest in some step bits, they certainly come in handy, and cut a much cleaner hole. They do not Fray the edges like a standard drill bit, in the end there's nothing to file.

[@panzerleader49]

Great channel and I'm REALLY a big fan of the old school powerwagons. Two things. 1) try not to yank the camera around- it may feel natural for you but it is making the rest of us seasick; slower more deliberate pan and focus a few seconds on what you want us to see. 2) the split screen look is OK but broaden the center slice- make it 50% of the view not 33%. thanks, and keep up the great work- we need more old school restorations!

[@DependableAutoTruck]

keep making them

[@philiphemphill4980]

Better check universal joint alignment at each end of all drive shafts on the video they look out cheers from OZ

[@partsandresto]

Yes sir. You’re 100% correct

[@mjw3121]

I have a 1930 Chrysler with the same type motor and trans, a Chrysler Spitfire 25" flat head long block 6. Very dependable motor. Don't like the Granny Gear though.

[@eduardomarin8625]

Love Your show Brother, question : Looking for those rivets you fasten to the lower fender where did you get them ??

[@sergehorion7155]

Around the 16th and the 35th minutes, we had a glimpse of a moto. Is it an Ural? Would be interesting to have a video dedicated to your ride.

[@partsandresto]

It’s a Condor A350! Swiss military bike!

[@charleschidester6767]

I just had a Korean war era ambulance given to me. It has been in a Texas field for 50 some years. Now that I have my dream truck. I'm building a barn to rebuild the thing. I'm not restoring it. I need creature comforts. Wish me luck. And lots of. Money.

[@partsandresto]

Lucky dog! Congrats Charles

[@johnfogg7858]

I've noticed that each of your videos has an audio issue. The audio cuts out every few seconds and it's quite annoying. Otherwise, I LOVE your work and the way you present it.

[@partsandresto]

Its because these are captured instagram story videos. It is annoying.

[@johnfogg7858]

@@partsandresto Thanks for the explanation. Thank you for your service! Thank you for the excellent entertainment!

Rédeas do Possante Sérgio Reis Composição: Antonio Luiz / Jotha Luiz Cada palmo dessa estrada eu conheço bem Vou levando minha vida nesse vai e vem Não tem chuva não tem sol Não tem noite e não tem dia Cada cidade que passo levo alegria Quantas estrelas já vi iluminando o céu Madrugada de sereno molha meu chapéu Já passei tantos janeiros Já senti tanta saudade Cada ida e cada volta é só felicidade Minha vida é segurar as rédeas do possante Lobo da estrada, fera do volante Louco apaixonado mais um viajante Minha vida é igualzinha a vida do peão Também tem saudade do seu coração Onde vai seu cavalo vai meu caminhão

[@btphelps]

Any particular reason you don't hold your phone camera horizontally?

[@partsandresto]

These are instagram stories compiled for all of my friends here on KZbin

[@vagabond96h]

I'm sure others have mentioned this. Your videos will be better when you use a real camera. Nice work though and I admire your energy.

[@partsandresto]

We agree, and thank you. I record these for instagram

[@harry7361]

it's called a pressure plate for obvious reasons

[@anthonyzarlenga5282]

Hi Dave I have a lot of respect in your work. But I have to put my 2 cents in when it comes to your wheel and tires. I herd of and seen close calls with the split rims wheels and military type tires. They are not made for hard surface roads. The sp[it rimes are called widow makers . It's OK to Up grade to a safe level. I'm 73 year old retired Mechanic. Just saying . Like your project , and you have good a helper. Carry on. over

[@darrellbeam8053]

I was about to say the same thing. Take it from someone who has some experience with split ring tires, spend the cash on a modern set that looks close. TBH, I would be surprised if you found a tire shop willing to work on them. As a matter of fact, I believe they are illegal.

[@partsandresto]

Thank you men! They are dangerous and I’ll be inflating them incrementally restrained with chain.

[@anthonyzarlenga5282]

@@partsandresto Sir. you would not beleave the power of just 35 lbs of psi has. to be safe filling the tires . you should use a tire cage and to be outside . and stand far and to the side . Not kidding. Stay safe.
