[@perotekku]

I wouldn't even build a little "bridge" for the "D", leave it a backwards "C" like the DeLorean logo.

[@mrmoss149]

" It's non- servicable, which means we're gonna service it". LMAO

[@ctdieselnut]

Pretty much the legend of filthy rich in a nutshell.

[@ziptiesnbiasplies]

2:16 yoooooouuuuuu don't neeeed brakes!

[@elij.s.7580]

maybe not when you're driving a clapped out pile of shit around the woods with chains on the tires and plenty of trees to stop you

[@decket8842]

Easily the coolest build on KZbin by a long shot. Can’t wait to see the final product.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Thanks man. I'm enjoying this one immensely. Exhaust and intake are almost done.

[@farmerdiy9024]

Sand paper to help remove a filter! bloody brilliant! I will keep that one in my back pocket! I swear very time i watch one of your videos I learn something cool like that

[@wes11bravo]

Beyond cool. And this is the true spirit of hot rodding, kids - making exactly what you want from stuff that you pulled out of a junkyard, only using new parts if it's for the sake of safety or performance. Totally amazing, Rich!

[@9856CB]

This takes me back to when I was 16 years old. I picked up a 1948 Oldsmobile that was a rust bucket. Sanded it down, bought a gallon of high gloss paint and a 4” brush and painted it. Looked great from 50 feet away. Had a straight 8 (40’ ft long🤪) and leaked more oil than burned gas. Your paint job was much better. Gave the car to the garbage man one Christmas and my mom never had to take her cans to the curb again.........memories

[@Revoku]

For your MAF, use the MX2 by torquerush, it takes 2x maf sensors, does all the calculations and sends a single maf sensor signal to the ECU

[@scottmcfarland1110]

My dad painted our 75 Nova with a roller and brush and boat paint when I was growing up. I remember walking into the garage and asking, "What are you doing?" Great memories...

[@TheBrokenLife]

I've used the sandpaper for traction tip for opening booze bottles that were put in the freezer new... It's a pro-tip for sure for all of your various fluid needs!

[@SummitRacing]

Great video!

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Something therapeutic watching Rich at high speed assembling bits and pieces.....at that 'sketchy' music....s'pose its not 'sketchy' then...THE best channel on 'The Tube'...and did Rich say...'Cobble'......?(Asking for a friend....)

[@windage]

he meant to say 'fabri-cobble' but that statement is copyrighted...blahaha

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Well I can honestly say this is the first time I’ve seen someone pour their own bushings lol. Never even occured to me that you could do that

[@donaldk.macbaird5248]

Check out Rat Rod Bob's You tube channel he doe's it all the time,mostly for his custom built 4-link rear suspensions

[@robwigglezz944]

I just picked up that Milwaukee M12 fuel die grinder after seeing yours on the last video. I'm a machinist and it's super handy to have one not attached to a damn air line. So far it's been great.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

I've been porting the intake adapters with it and can't believe it hasn't caught fire yet.

[@robwigglezz944]

@@DEBOSSGARAGE hahaha. That's reassuring. Thanks for all the info and effort y'all put into the videos.!

[@zeropointzero]

This is such a cool build. Those rims look badass. And that intake - it's a lotta work, but it's gonna be one of a kind. I learned today that one can pour their own bushings. The MAF problem can be solved in one of two ways. Either use two sensors with a circuit to average them, or bring the inlet off both turbos to a common filter housing. It might also be possible to delete it and run in speed density mode if the ECM allows it.

[@thenonoman]

I have never seen anyone make their own bushings before. Very cool.

[@Jemill13]

You paint better with a brush and roller than I could do with a sprayer!! This project is awesome 😎

[@twentythirddimension714]

Man i ain going to lie, this my fav build on youtube, but i hope she runs as loyal as ole Slave lake.

[@kshepthedrummer]

"3.99 canadian....so in American dollars, they'd pay you to take these" 🤣

[@donaldk.macbaird5248]

We wish I believe here in the States it cost more like $4.99 or more for that pack.

[@ziptiejedi5658]

If you need some gauges for the first startup. Buy a bluetooth OBD2 reader off amazon for 15 dollars (Us) and the Torque app for your phone or tablet. You can use the app for gauges and read/clear engine codes. The bluetooth reader and app work surprisingly well. I use mine all the time to read and clear codes. I also use it for gauges in my project s10. I molded a tablet into the dash and hardwired the charger so it always has power. The app has a dashboard feature so you can add any gauge too the screen you want. It will read any data that the computer has and you can have a gauge for said data. Its completely customizable with gauge style color and size. It's a pretty cool little deal. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cheap code reader.

[@ginggur17]

This is a fantastic project. Really enjoying this. A pleasure to watch. Thankyou.

[@jagardina]

I first came across your channel because I was buying or just bought a GMC Duramax truck. It's a 2007 and still runs great, pulls real hard and after a infotainment upgrade, is like a new truck.

[@morgansword]

Well I option to give it to you Deboss, a guy who likes kitties better than a yellow mutt with a missing ear, and three legs. That truck passes any build yet almost as the GTO is and will be my favorite since I had a new 64 (horizontal headlights) 389 four barrel and I wanted the four speed but that was not happening so stuck with a automatic.... today that would be the dream and leave the levers home and let the left leg rest in peace. I sure hope that the headers don't cause you to lose much more hair... dang man your young and doing a comb over/LOL (at your expense) or you would set this old man straight. Love this wiring thing you have opted to do as it is so time consuming a bandit. HalfassKustoms up in your area actually has done a great video on using a stock harness and throwing LS engines in about everything... a good young guy and good all around man if I say so. You Canadians are better and smarter off the get go as you don't see many in your class of experience. I guess get to the point... Cab looks fine with the half and half combo look as the wheels ask for something in return. Gonna be so sweet when done... Your face gives it away how impressed its going

[@LarryYaw]

When I was a kid there was an old guy that had a Dodge Dart. He roller painted it every few years with house paint. Body was Christmas tree Green and the roof was fire engine red. It looked great in the rain at night, lol.

[@BushyB]

top tip for painting next time.. use house gloss paint with flash thinners and it may take 2-3 days to cure but it looks mint. sick wheels man

[@jesseolivares8563]

Love watching the build progress. I get looks from my friends as they don't understand cars that much nor care. haha but the build is looking awesome. Can't wait for more!!

[@drewnelson6463]

U have serious skills dude. And some giant cahones to cut up those heads and that brand new intake. 🤯 very cool.

[@zacmelton32]

Iv been bed riddin cause I got a couple kidney stones comin tryna come out. Now I'm much happier cause I go some fresh deboss to watch. Thanks for having the best content on youtube brotha

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Get well soon!

[@ginggur17]

Well impressed with making your own bushings. Very much so. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@dallastrygstad3120]

That body style you could beat with a log chain and it would still look good. Good choice leaving it alone. Do the DG. You need to. Excited to see the end.

[@rowan2128]

I can’t wait to see the intake when it’s done!! I am so excited to see the twin turbos and how you run the exhaust!! Great vid rich!

[@johnnymelendez4836]

Nothing better than a DEBOSS VIDEO. Awesome teaching techniques. His honest delivery is one of a kind. Thanks and GOD BLESS YOU ALL😇🗽🇺🇸

[@mjmcomputers]

Nice job on the bushings.

[@Viperman200221]

Can't wait to see it on the HRPT2020!

[@102819921]

Thank you for painting it the way you did! So few people on this site do it this way, and it's a legitimate way (and imo better way) to go for a daily!

[@Prariedog]

Another awsome video deboss garage

[@mostlymoparih5682]

Great stuff. Flipping the C, moving it over, then making it a D was what I thought you would do. Custom, fast, cheap, and original parts. Oh and cool. Happy Motoring.

[@6literfuelaholic655]

Nice battlefield hat! I work for the branch in barrie ontario glad to see you like our buisness

[@legarms51]

You are a very gifted guy! But I do understand your road hasn't been easy to get to this point! Keep up the great work!

[@aaronshandc]

A guy likes that Vice Grip Garage shirt! Great Video!

[@bertaboosted8839]

Replace that GMC badge on the front with a custom duramax badge matching the petina and all, thatd be badass

[@RadDadisRad]

Mesh Emory cloth works shell for stuck filters too. Slide it between the filter and the strap wrench and you’ll have some serious bite.

[@wackowacko8931]

The glue on the cab gutter isn't glue, it is seam sealer. If you don't want water entering the cab from the gutter, you need to replace the seal sealer. Use an epoxy style seam sealer that is UV stabilized. There are 4 "eyebrows", 2 above each door, don't try to fix them or weld them up, they need to stay on the gutter. They are not immediately obvious, you have to go looking for them. If you want to remove bubbles from the mixture for the bushings, you can use a pyrex mixing bowl turned upside down on a piece of MDF with a hole drilled in the wood for a tap, then use a vacuum pump on the tap to create a vacuum bell jar to force out the bubbles in the mixture. You'll have to grease the rim of the mixing bowl to make a seal on the wood, and use a low/wide container for the mixture so it will fit under the mixing bowl. You MIGHT be able to rescale your MAF readings to use the data from one MAF sensor using some of the tuning software available for the Duramax. An example that MAY work, www.duramaxforum.com/threads/rescale-maf-rescale-vane-positions-etc.512353/

[@Torsee]

Fine work!

[@novarocker247]

This build is so bad ass

[@ronniebenoit4081]

Paint is perfect...just seal the rust and put a mat clear over the rest... roof looks sick....sweetmoney!!!!

[@TheCanadianBubba]

A lot of great work happening on this... looking forward to seeing it all come together ! Great days to you and crew Rich !

[@chrisaustin2666]

those lower control arms look similar if not exact from a chevy express 4500 (arboc mobility bus) with air ride suspension. i've had to replace these before and they are a special order item and were expensive. They also have no "serviceable parts" besides the ball joint (ive always purchased mevotech ttx series) that goes in and comes out as any normal balljoint. Build is coming along great and can't wait to see the final product!!!

[@shanewright6958]

It's looking good. Another great video 👍👍🇨🇱

[@adamlake007]

heres a thought for you, have the D backwards on the grill against the G, save some work and I think it would be neat looking

[@CarswithNash]

Looking great Rich! That brush paint on the roof looks perfect for the look.👍

[@haydenuk02]

Awesome work thanks for the content

[@CJA150179]

This is one cool build, can't wait to see it finished...

[@jackamelung8705]

paint looks awesome

[@MrOgre1110]

The white looks good need some old school pinstriping to finish it off.

[@jason-ge5nr]

That paint job just gets me right in the feels. reminds me of my 93 silverado i rolled it rusuoleum brown. she was a great truck

[@shaunpc2512]

Awesome video again Rich. Thanks for all of the tips and advice.

[@fonhollohan2908]

Nothing comes near this build that I'm aware of. Its totally out of the box which I love.

[@gregweber8951]

Your right gotta get back on it! Love you guys! I’ll be driving up there sometime this year!

[@ZGryphon]

VGG: "Brakes... you don't need them." DG: "If you can't stop, you might die." I guess that's the Canadian difference.:)

[@nome5184]

It'a a real shame you guys don't have more subscribers.

[@tomanycooks]

my favourite channel

[@andrewmaas6620]

I can’t wait to see this done

[@MrGuitarbike]

The steering box, along with various other components can't be rebuilt as the fire would effectively anneal the hardening or heat treatment to the components. The rack an pinion are hardened very hard, like 60 Rockwell c about. The annealing would make them wear out very quickly.

[@scottyknot7403]

Thats beautiful man. Wow looking forward to the next update!!

[@frosty9595]

Hey! You can still run the MAF. Just run it on only the one intake half. Have your tuner double the MAF hz vs airflow calibration table. That way even though it's only seeing half the airflow the computer still gets the correct numbers. Have done that on a couple gm gasser builds using HPtuners when we couldn't delete the MAF. Works pretty good as long as airflow is even between the two throttle body's. Just looks a bit goofy having a maf on only one side but that's easy to hide.

[@Robert_H_Diver]

So awesome man, I can’t wait till it’s finished.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Very nice custom ecm and wiring nice label on modual as well as book very comprehensive

[@radojamie]

I am really enjoying this build keep up the good work

[@k20ADA6]

This is the coolest build I’ve seen in a long time. And every video is so detailed and easy to follow. Thanks for the cool videos man! Keep up the good work, I can’t wait to see the final product!

[@rangerismine]

The white roof is gonna look badass with the wheels!

[@craigtate5930]

Great project. Wow your videos have gotten so professional lately, feel like iam watching a tv show!

[@stevemiller6766]

Like the VGG merch man - I like watching you at work and providing good links to stuff like DIY urethane kits.

[@hpelisr]

Very crafty work, like your mod's.

[@jameshudson9479]

You have a brilliant mind 🧠

[@hjonedmonds]

One awesome build, love the videos.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Them rim and tire combo is stunning @debossgarage

[@DakGuy05]

Loving this build so far. Keep it up dude

[@CndTechnoMum]

It's a travesty to cover up that beautiful red caliper, but boy do I ever love those wheels. I'm so stoked about this truck!

[@machew2009]

This has got to be one of my favorite builds I have seen on KZbin this is like a project I would love to be able to do my self. I Love your idea of changing the G and the C into your DG Logo you should do that for sure I mean It is a one of a kinda truck might as well

[@JARETTZX]

You could install a fuel tank sump, Beans Diesel and many others make kits.

[@jacobchandler2083]

You could run intake pipes off the turbo to a common point to run the MAF that way you can do a nice hidden filter and airbox

[@Ginga7r]

Minted Sir

[@worrowp]

This truck is going to be beautiful!

[@evil_me]

Love it

[@jonnygg6594]

That prybar catch was fukin slick!

[@bernhard8540]

Wow ford should hire Alex hahaha can you imagine getting a book like that for any and all vehicles I would literally buy one of each hahahaha

[@jacobsimiele8542]

Love these vids

[@bobbob-fg5wy]

For the MAF (or MAP or whatever the hell acronym), With twin turbskies wont you need a ballance tube from the plenum on one side to the other? The sensor could go in that. It would need to be bling and it would need to be custom. You love that stuff.

[@superkittybtc]

huge fan keep it up thanks to you i have a Cummins and love it work on it to make it awesome al the time, have some square stacks looks amazing

[@DDescalchuk57]

These are the filters I use on my titanium Baldwin separator bf1275 And the primary fuel filter is Baldwin bf7633 Cheap like borscht do em every oil change and what’s more Albertan then Baldwin filters sticking out below the box side lol

[@Pneumamechanical]

Using the surprised sound effect from "Metal Gear" in the intro got me laughing pretty good, those old games were so cheesy!!

[@rowdydiesels7543]

Love your videos

[@mowler8042]

Never knew you could make your own bushings very cool...Those wheels look so so sick. Also patiently waiting for midget update.

[@thats10guy91]

Use a map sensor plumbed to both plenums with a cross over tube, convert it to speed density instead of maf sensor. You could have oshcut make you a custom DG.

[@mobilemowers]

Should be able to keep two mass air flows on but only use one for the data. Just program it to double the values. need to have two on for the spacing and to keep the intake equal.

[@colesteven1123]

Love your content From dirty ol Texas

[@mrmikemanify]

It would be cool to see some of the really bad rust cut out of the bed and some new metal slapped on it to keep the patina look but make it structural.
