Always good to get legacy tools, to continue their life. I have alot of my grandfather's tools that I use. ❤

[@shotslife]

That’s right, feels good to keep them going.

Now you're ready to put everything back together! I'm so happy I got my floor poured and cut this week, time to clean all the concrete dust off everything!

[@jeddill3272]

I've watched every episode and I would like to see it on the water

[@shotslife]

Me too!

[@johncorreia9041]

I noticed the best paint to use on parts you want to keep rust free for a really long time, use bed liner, s

[@brianfeeney7792]

you have done a great job on generator project i dont know what you did for a living but i would call you a fabricator keep up the good work

[@shotslife]

Hey Brian, I was a bomb builder in the AF…

[@brianfeeney7792]

thank you for your service my friend@@shotslife

[@dennisd6527]

Coming a long nicely. I'm sure it will look brand new when you're finished

[@shotslife]

Thanks Dennis!

[@user-nh1vb6xf9z]

...lookin' good as usual...lol..good job, have a great week, keep well... Bob

[@shotslife]

Hey Bob, appreciate it brother! Have a great week!

[@Adam-724]

When you welded the muffler to a solid surface did you consider the motor will move when started up or idle up. Something has to move and the weakest part will break. It would be better to attach the support to an engine mount that is part of the motor movement. Other than that, looks great, keep up the great work. You are motivation for us all.

[@shotslife]

It has a flex pipe in between the motor and the muffler that is made just for that.. engineered that way. Great thought though!

[@robertengster5643]

I was thinking, a set of headers, and a turbo added , you could produce twice the power. Hot rod generator. Lol

[@shotslife]

Hahahahahaha, that would be awesome!

[@onenuttybuddy]

Hey Chief, have yo considered buy a bandsaw? It should make easy work on some of those cuts you are performing with the grinding wheel. MSC and Grainger have a great selection of bandsaws to pick from. You aren't going to need a saw with too much HP because most of the metal you are cutting through is pretty thin. The bandsaw would also come in handy for wood projects you may have coming down the road. Take care man. I hope all is well with your better half. The Gen rebuild is looking killer. Alan from NC. PS: Hey, isn't their some kind of county ordinance about burning wooden pallets without a permit? 😁

[@shotslife]

Hey brother! Yeah that is a great idea, I’ll add it to the list! Are you in NC or down South? For some reason I had you down in Florida for the winter… lol, nah you can burn them here, just not tires/plastics..

[@johnduncan9749]

Looks great!

[@shotslife]

Thanks!

[@Richard-C]

hey my friend have you considered using gunwash for cleaning your surfaces you could probably get a 5 gallon bucket for about the price of a gallon of mineral spirits and it would dry faster than spirits, here in canada we get gunwas at the local napa store i use it for cleaning all my spraying equipment, great progress, question is this filmed after the wedding with the corvette or before 😁great video 👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍

[@shotslife]

I’ll have to check it out… never heard of it…

[@focusedelectronics]

Woot woot

[@shotslife]

Thanks!

[@johnmarschalk1977]

Whole time you were using drill press thinking if I tried to do that I'd hurt my wrist when it caught and spun. Thinking you must have a stronger grip than me to be able to hold it. Oh well, you're human after all.

[@shotslife]

Hahahahaha, I should have used channel locks to hold it but… of course I could have cut that out but I like to show reality…not everything I do works out for sure!

[@joebryant5793]

@@shotslifeGlad the piece didn't fly off the spinning drill bit and hit the 'Vette!!!

[@sidgreatorex5484]

You should make yourself a metal work bench

[@shotslife]

I need one for sure!

[@jameskaufmann7424]

You could use a pair of vicegrips to hold the part. Your lucky it didn't get you.

[@shotslife]

Yeah, true.

[@robertengster5643]

Next video we watch paint drying.. with a good drink in hand..single malt glen levit.

This is bourbon country here!

[@robertengster5643]

@@shotslife I do like my boiler makers a shot and a beer. Jack Daniels. Summer time. Plus another good one is Basil Hayden , real good bourbon

[@jeddill3272]

Please finish your boat!

[@shotslife]

Yeah I’ll be back on her soon. Just need to have the Bus up for the spring/summer for the wife…

[@douglasthompson2740]

you are riling up my OCD when you weld over mill scale and paint! Especially when it is all open and easy at the start. I know you aren't going for 'welder of the year' but that is so basic....

[@shotslife]

lol 😂

[@robertengster5643]

You know ,I do come up with some pretty good ideas ,on how to spend your money, lmao.😅

[@shotslife]

Hahahahaha, yes you do! Wish I had more of that stuff!

[@robertengster5643]

Hey, Your incredibly fast, if racing turtles.. But hey some turtles move quicker..lmao buddy...😅

[@shotslife]

Hahahahahaha, I’ll take that, slow and steady wins the race!
