Love this truck. Makes me wish I had a garage to build my own.

[@randyscrafts8575]

Nice work on the dash cluster. I learned something new. 👍

[@otsenres1636]

That razor blade trick with the plastic was neat!

[@areyousureyouenteredyourna85]

Very cool. I love the idea of the color changing tach, instead of a separate shift light.

[@danielstoscup755]

I love this build! I also like that this show outlines the required safety gear and proper disposal of hazardous wastes.

[@NBC_NCO]

I love the dash !!! Great job !

[@CrazyPetez]

Nice work on the guages👍.

[@ashtonmariefranklin725]

Awesome gauge setup. That's what I want to do to my project, now I have the information to go about it with my old factory gauge housing

[@h.i.sc-10tips31]

👍👍👍great video I like the custom gauges giving me ideas of doing that to my project truck

[@chalino987_2]

I Cant Wait To Hear It 🤯

[@hcarcentroautomotivo9818]

Welcome tô Brasil...show Mans

[@johnjames2715]

That rocking cup of coffee gave me anxiety until I realized it was a guage sitting on it's back.

[@mfishing3720]

Very cool

[@justaburgscousin]

This cool project has inspired me to start a 5.0 swap on my 93 Ranger Splash! I want to have the 93 cobra R theme. It’s already vibrant red just like a 93 cobra R.

[@sykwookiee]

Sounds like a cool project...a Ford engine in a Ford truck...ohhhhh tha horrraaa! All the Chevy guys will just die...lol lol lol...hahahahaha...would definitely like to see it once she's done...maybe comment here when you finish it, or while in the process of...both would be cool...

[@nathandean1687]

about time.

[@Bruhm-ms3yn]

Where do you find these types of builds?

[@RoerDaniel]

that Dell inspiron 9xxx series it's so 2000s

[@zTheBigFishz]

Should have centered the tach in the dash and put the speedo on the A pillar...

[@sykwookiee]

Or maybe split them like an SS dash...I had a Chevelle and a Nova it was always pretty easy to see what's going on...

[@PROGAMERHULL]

Hi EveryOne

[@josesandoval9468]

What are some possible remedies for the bare metal on the foot of the window?

[@cassowaryind]

What part of this video was working on the truck and what part was an ad for the products? I think it was 99% ads

[@thought1212]

if only i could get these guys to come over and work on my truck.

[@thegenerallee8339]

You and me both

[@Akhazmat907]

Why, do it yourself and be proud of what you accomplished. You can do anything these guys can. Just try.

[@thought1212]

@@Akhazmat907 your right. for me thats a huge learning curve.

[@Akhazmat907]

@@thought1212 no such thing as learning curve. You fail tell you succeed my friend. Failure is a wonderful thing, it teaches you what not to do. Everyone said i could not build my own 45 long colt revolver with a chunk of metal and basic hand tools and no knowledge of making guns. 1 year later and 36 failed attempts later and now i have a fully functional revolver to spec with no tool marks.

[@turboflush]

Rock Auto is ok. I get parts cheaper locally or through other vendors. Returns.. although semi easy, I have to ship item back and wait for replacement. As apposed to picking up today or tomorrow.

[@MrStacy1974]

I work for a shipping company that delivers a lot of RockAuto's bulky items, DO NOT order body parts from them they'll throw them in an oversized box with minimal packing.

[@brucereimer4604]

I love this show and as an owner of two Rangers, love this build but I have to say this. From the standpoint of someone that has been doing custom bodywork for 40 years the super duper wonder primer is 100% BS. Everything that they did can be accomplished with plain old ordinary spot putty...likely for a fraction of the price. A two part spot putty will be easier to apply and will set up faster.

[@LEGOCAMARO]

You know that Polly is going to full of pin holes and will need glaze and a coat of primer. Not to mention that color will bleed even if you have no pin holes would have to seal it. Before paint

[@FactConspiracy]

They do enough body work in theirs careers they already know what needs to be done

[@Dwightsp26]

I want it soo bad

[@17buckrogers]

rock auto is not always the cheapest for the same part

[@blos90]

I wonder how much better would be the weight distribution with a corvette transaxle

[@Madhatter19192]

I've never seen anyone put ketchup in a bottle like that.

[@mikez1017]

I love the truck. Can i have it ?

[@wtfobiden]

damn all the super race work. then to add the heavy chrome wheels on to slow it back down. lose the chrome

[@jakekim861]

ah. I remember when he only did videos for Eastern

[@Cobb]

I feel like i'd still want that clear bezel so that once the gauges were programmed I could have a barrier to prevent other people from pressing those buttons and changing the programs.

[@estebansoria3037]

Who do u let drive ur race car ?

[@genaroalvarez4929]

Can yall do a cadilliac conversion truck

[@dizzytt69]

That aluminum needs to be black!

[@richardmay6865]

Why wouldn't you just do paintless dent repair (PDR) ? Faster and no paint work needed.

[@joe212]

This is a old video from a few years back.

[@davidroberts3692]

Don’t know why you didn’t just call a dent repair company, they can do phenomenal work and no filler and sanding and painting 🙄

[@ChRickenbacker]

And all at the cheap price of 499.99.

[@sonofernest]

@@ChRickenbacker And a holes drilled in the hood structure if the dent isn't in an exposed area.

[@worlock081475]

because this video is several years old, and a DIY show

[@darinp5612]

@CJ Jacobs but, but, but they're being green and nothing went to waste for our blessed earth

[@stevenhanna6973]

It really doesn’t look right in the front from the side

[@sidsideways2828]

The fenders?

[@jernarddavis5157]

I thought he was doing a mercury marauder engine swap.

[@bmstylee]

That was stage 1

[@gtgodbear6320]

That looks like a Nissan

[@garrett1188]

Windows 7 :)

[@crazyeyez1502]

2012.........

[@ripshift93]

17 minute commercial.

[@silkpursuit]

sippy cup for a child not a ketchup bottle lol

[@philtripe]

its neither of those

[@anthonycadiou8367]

Time money and effort. The amount of money and customized work is far more than most people have. What is the budget for this thing?

[@travisvowell3610]

Rockauto, if it doesnt work. We don't care. No customer care anymore. We really only want money, dont care if we gave you a stick of bubble gum or the alternator you wanted. We dont have to actually talk to you anymore..

[@GoodOlBoy1976]

Why do yall keep calling it a ranger when it just has ranger parts?

[@MrStacy1974]

Because it looks like a Ranger , the b2500 was badge engineered, and it will still be registered as a truck.

[@ixionn563]

It is a Ranger, the fact it rolled out of the factory with Mazda badges on it doesn't change that whatsoever. It's still the same truck with the same Ford parts.

[@crazyeyez1502]

But the title and registration will still say Mazda

[@bobbyd9583]

your "friends at Safety-Kleen" left my shop with a nasty solvent tank for months and months (almost 8 months) claiming they had no drivers and brought our ability to clean parts to a stop. This brought our ability to clean and re-assemble customer cars completely crippled. I'm going to assume because you advertise for them they actually come out to service your equipment? We ended up switching vendors because they were completely UN-reliable. Almost upsets me that you would call them friends when they are hurting businesses......

[@sykwookiee]

Sorry that they were bad with you,,,we had them service a shop way out in the boondocks of N.C. and they were actually pretty damn good...but, I have heard that same sad story from others and I think it is a franchise deal and some are good and some not...

[@zippythechicken]

thats not primer surfacer thats watered down body filler

[@paulhoskins7852]

"Watered-down" body filler would shrink like crazy.

[@jameshankssr466]

You can put lipstick on a pig and its still a pig!

[@kallenhunstiger7279]

Mission Failure.

[@sidsideways2828]

Why would you pay someone to take the liquid waste and dispose of it. That’s dumb. Dig a whole,dump, and cover. Never to be seen again.

[@mikewaugh6244]

Rtm production not your content

[@Thelongmanable]

*_If they did this show 10 years ago people would care..._*

[@keithdunham8139]

Still a shill channel
