RAT ROD gets a NOSE JOB!

[@guyfuller1369]

One of the things I love about this channel is that you read and respond to comments. Your content is genuine and candid. Keep on a-bustin’ rust, Ken!

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

that is very kind of you to say.. your comment reminded me of when I went to the good guys car show in Des Monies.. a couple drove 1,000 mi from Virginia.. just to meet me! I was blown away by that but he said.. "you are just like the rest of us! haha.. well.. I wouldn't know how to be any other way..

[@paulravitsky2898]

No wonder I can't find bigboot, he's waltzing through your shop!

[@davidforeman8347]

Things are coming along can't wait to see it going down the highway! Alberta Canada! Cheers!!

[@rickaccount]

new nose looks great... best wishes on the front radiator situation!

[@demnis]

Hey Waylon ol buddy thanks for sharing another great video update 🤩💖🔥🤘😎

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Glad you got some wrench time Ken! 😁👍 The "new" grill looks great 🔧

[@ianlangley987]

Sensible move Ken, if you need it then you can add it later as you say. You could do with a GOFA to save stretching for things. I think they are available from the same place where you buy a sky hook. Cheers and love the new nose. Ian

[@richardlincoln8438]

I'm just commenting to feed the Al Gore Rhythm, Ken. Best Wishes to You, Your Family and Friends.

[@Jonh-l6w]

Lol I like that Bigfoot walking through the shop.hrs stealing parts again 😮

[@tertessa]

That brings back memories of building mine..I used big 🔨 ⚒️ 😊

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

You could always take the nicer nose out back and shoot a hole in it 😂. Nice progress Waylon!

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

haha.. I suppose

[@AntiqueCarsRCool]

Love the Wildwood Flower jam at the beginning! Thanks for the shoutout! Yeah you gotta save that burned ram...

[@odahithedubious2017]

Did I just see a cameo appearance by ol' Derek? Great progress on the Dodgillac. Looking forward to seeing it on the road again. All the best to you, Sir.

[@thomasmarti5856]

Waylon that new nose looks good, although its sooo shiny lol :)

[@Jonh-l6w]

That's going to look good.

[@edwardkurek5355]

Don’t scratch the paint!!!!!!!😂😂😂

[@liljoeii6091]

Awesome job on the nose of your hot rod THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

[@Kickinpony66]

I liked the Live Feed with the GoPro. I noticed there was a 20 second delay in your phone audio and the audio we were hearing live. Then, the audio from the phone went back through the GoPro and seemed to slow it down. So, the more noise you made, the worse the live feed got. It was like feedback, but not (I had no issues listening in my headphones). And, I had the privilege of being the only Moderator in the live chat! Anyway, I thought you'd appreciate the feedback. That nose fit pretty good, for coming off of an other truck.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

its a new trick and I'm an OLD dawg! but the video quality is so much better than my laptop.. I just need to get a 5 year old to show me how to do it properly

[@Kickinpony66]

😎😎

[@davegallucci9327]

Good job. It's coming along! 😊

[@N8vmama605]

Another great video! Man it sure is looking nice Waylon 👍

[@Truckman1980]

She's getting there buddy!

[@seandayma]

Sasquatch walking through the shop. 😂😂😂😂

[@NathansMoparGarage]

Looking good

[@shanewright6958]

Another good one. It’s looking good 👍👍

[@phased-out-24-73]

From the NOSE...to the BOWZ..

[@Jonh-l6w]

You may have to unbolt one end to release the pressure.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

I wish I knew what you are talking about haha

[@lynnlutjen3819]

Looking good love it ❤👍👍👍👍

[@jimschafer9196]

Cool Waylon great progress and good call the the radiator what and run the Waylon Wire endurance track testing. LOL you metal bending brought memories of my wood shop days 60 some years ago, the wood shop teacher was asked to refurbish some metal items, I volunteered - his comment when I was done if I did half as good with the wood I would be a great craftsman. WOW caught Josh shaped shifted into a bigfoot creature early in the clip -- LOL

[@glenharper3136]

Thanks for the video.

[@Gearswapper]

Ken put you an old red belly ford tractor radiator in front It may be small enough to fit perfect!! Get that monkey in the back walking the shop to go find one!! 😂😂😂 Great times again in the shop with our west coast shop hero!! God bless

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

yeah i think i talked about using a tractor rad.. thanks for watching!

[@rpeek]

I like that.. Like the new nose better er. Nice to see that Luke Paliocha guy in there too. I already got's me one of his new calenders. All the cool guys do..

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

thats right.. the cool kids gots em

[@rbc5878]

I dud know Waylon, looks like perfect “speed bump” clearance to me!

[@michaelkirkwood3316]

well glad u liked the suggestion about a small kubota radiator I didnt think a motor cycle would work just to small lol

[@fredflint1797]

How many songs to a gallon do you get out of that can?

[@pack1send1]

Great video today Ken and Noah. Was wondering if Noah is wanting to start building his own rat 🐀 rod yet. Would be cool to see what he has turning around inside of his head.12:37 loved the Bigfoot lol. But let that monkey loose on the cupcake.

[@ericfallis6202]

Good job😊

[@stevecowdery351]

Leave the bow . Good water runoff. Looks like door entry wouldn’t have water or ice 😊😊

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

well.. I don't think I'll be driving this when its icy LOL

[@stevecowdery351]

@ well you know there are no mistakes in designing a rated

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

maybe not but I've sure found lots of wrong ways to do things! haha

[@jcaw1958]

Waylon , was listening to you video and we used to have similar issues on our sand rails with a water pump motor, and radiator in the back behind the motor, if you reduce the size of supply side hose and keep the original size return hose you’re overheating issue will diminish

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

thank you for that info! I am not giving up because I know they run the rads in the back on the mud trucks too..so by reducing the supply..does that allow the water to stay in the rad long enough for it to cool? I had a theory about that haha.. but maybe totally unfounded.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

got to thinking UT OH! its 1.5 inch coming out of the intake..and 2 inch going into the water pump.. so isn't it already set up as you suggest? pardon me if I'm missing something.. im not the sharpest tool in the shed

[@jcaw1958]

Waylon we found that reducing the supply from pump down to 1 inch will prevent cavitation at the pump , also with stock pump and thermostat. Pull the cover off the pump and install backing plate to the rear of the impeller if not I Enclosed, good luck . Always learning something!

[@jcaw1958]

@@1963impala2drWaylonWire I also forgot to mention out from t/stat to rad and back from rad to pump is direction of flow

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

@@jcaw1958 yes, I'm aware of which way the water flows haha.. hey thanks so much for getting back to me.. If i continue to have issues, I will reduce the flow from 1.5 in to 1 in. thats really good info! do you think there will still be a cavitation issue with the electric water pump?

[@garycallahan7867]

Would one of those aluminum half radiator’s they are putting in Honda Civics fit?

[@OnlyTheEd]

Moving that nose piece all them times, I'm surprised you didn't scratch the paint. 😝

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

and I'm surprised only about 20 people said that instead of 30

[@H4rleyBoy]

Thinking outside the box Ken, what about an oil cooler or a small intercooler, and there used to be copper pipes with fins on them too.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

inlet/outlets are too small..but how about a small tractor radiator..haha..

[@wtbm123]

Cool

[@randygolden4520]

Ouch 😂supposed to miss ur thumb 👍

[@Masonfox8272]

What does Waylon wire use for heat out in the shop garage and what’s the btus your heat puts out

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

Hi Mason.. its a small electric heater hanging at about 10 feet up on one wall.. after 30 years, I'm sorry I don't recall the "btu's" I'll look for you and see if its on the unit. my shop minus the office and Victors apartment is 30x40. it does a good job.

[@dogboneknives7938]

Have you tried the grill spreader Idea yet??

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

humm im not sure what a grill spreader is haha

[@MaryBrownForFreedom]

Do 2 long narrow oil coolers or trans coolers, one each side into a common pipe so you have the flow rate...

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

inlet/outlets are too small on those

[@Jonh-l6w]

Hey you can stand on the running boards and jump lol😮

[@TrussRodTel]

Hey Waylon. How about a motorcycle radiator a lot of them are curved. Should fit in there a treat.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

inlet is too small

[@Jonh-l6w]

If you get it to fitting to good you will have to paint it 🎉

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

it won't ever fit that good!

[@robames1293]

You might need to set some mouse traps in your shop coz it looks like you've got an infestation of bigfoots, bigfeet whatever. They're hard to get out the skirting boards once you get them move in.

[@Jonh-l6w]

Big foot is stealing parts again

[@fredflint1797]

I'm glad to see you're not going to level out the top of the running boards with twenty pounds of bondo. But if you did you could write your name in it

[@stevethor7873]

What happened to the other nose?

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

it fell off the floor jack when I was dragging the burnt carcass our of the shop. it mangled the grill

[@stanleyj.mitchell4851]

I looked at the subject line and thought, does he need tissues?

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

maybe!

[@fredflint1797]

How much for a nose job? Just hold still for minute, I got one off this other old feller that don't need it no more.. I'll put his on ya!

[@blueeyz2046]

Nice SundAy VIEWING BY cARONA AND i.

[@squigdadysquig6952]

Before you change your water system how about lowering your thermostat if you have a 190 degree go to 170 degree

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

thats the first thing i did

[@nigeldw3]

Put your other metal clamp on it now you’ve got the pipe clamp on it

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

hahaha you realize its already done but you're still giving me advise? haha

[@hiramwilson3438]

So rat rod Bob is your cousin?

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

no relation but we share the same last name so we just call each other cuz

[@robertchall8576]

I bet it doesn't get hot .

[@LarryDeSilva64]

You always say you don't no anything about how to build a rat rod that you aren't a body and fender man and you are not a welder but the way your projects turn out Ken you are sure fooling everyone. Thanks for the video.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

You're too kind, thanks for watching!

[@bobbofly]

I've come to the inescapable conclusion that you bugged my den for some unbeknownst reason. All I know is I'll be watching & thinking out loud on a fix for an issue you're having, & one hot microsecond later you repeat it - usually verbatim. It's downright unsettling. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Love this channel - it's "This Old Rat Rod" with a "JP Patches" flavor. Please never change...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Just waiting to hear my "B-day gift's waiting in the dryer." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
