How funny you were talking about our brides helping in the garage, I was in a pickle today, asked my wifey to help me, she absolutely saved the day! And yes...she smells alot better than gas, oil and grime! 😂 Thank you for another great video, the El Camino is shaping up! God bless!

Nice project

Not up to your usual tip top service including disintegrating tools. Your GMC pickup was first rate. Making your own tools is pretty cool. Looking forward to the finished product. Maybe a miracle transformation 😊

OSB! I love it! Great job on this one Mr. JH! In my part of the country we have Rural King that’s likened to TSC on steroids. They sell harvest king products so they’re probably the same outfit as Atwood’s. Foose never called me either lol! Great job thanks for taking us along. Still can’t find the join link you mentioned. I will when I find it!

Now that the hard work is done, it's all downhill from here, right? I like the tool ingenuity. Brings back the old adage, necessity is the mother of invention. Haven't used that line for years. Dogs? In the checkout line? I guess you mean these so-called "service dogs." I think that idea has gotten out of hand & that people are bringing pets into stores without it being a bonafide service dog. But, I'm guessing that the stores let it pass because it's better than going through a hassle -- let the customers deal with it. Sorry you couldn't find any coffee shops. I had to go out look around here too, just in case. By the way, in case you didn't catch it ... Ole Snidely Whiplash made an appearance. Fiddled with the hood ornament but I think he was just into some shenanigans. Take care! Will patiently await the engine install -- no need to rush.

Man,would you give it up about the dog fight at tsc? I used to take my dog to all the farm stores, she was under control at all times! I took her to those places until Nov 18 ,when she just disappeared from our yard! She's beautiful German shepherd, blue healer mix ! Brown color! I believe she was "dog napped " ! Anyways,if I was in the same farm store with you and you were anywhere near us ,I would've steered away from you and gone to another part of the store or We would've of left ,just to avoid upsetting you!!
