Jan you need a shirt with a built in sling for your arm ... that way you can work and rest your arm as needed and the sling stays close to your body ad wont choke you if it gets snagged .... when your arm is NOT needing a sling you can hang a mic from it

Went to a therapist and immediately thought it was a waste of time but kept going and after a year it changed my life.

[@tim.garrison]

I don't know what it is, if he found his groove, he feels better about life, or y'all are just having fun together, but Joe seems so much more comfortable and confident. I love it!

[@rictic1929]

Nothing like my Saturday coffee with Jason and Joe. Looking good and keep up the good work.

[@rebuildrescue]

Awesome! Thank you for watching!

[@alrad5686]

Keep plugging guys. Restorations can be tedious, but slowly it is really taking shape. Good work to all on the Rescue Team.

[@breezygames5833]

After a long week of work, I look forward to Rebuild Saturdays

[@md4droid]

So great to see all of the progress on the 401. Looking like Oshkosh '25 is a possibility. Still the best Saturday morning entertainment on the internet.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you! Enjoy the video!

[@davidbickford2539]

90% done, 90% to go! I rebuilt a crashed 170B years ago, not near as complex, but tedious. Looking good with each small step!

[@markbrock30]

30s of you on the camera and I was feeling motion sick haha - kudos to Harry and his steady hand!

[@lindamorrison9755]

Nice seeing the man who won the Mustang looking so happy. You be careful with that arm. Be safe not sorry.

[@ShawnPossible]

Looking good guys. The Phoenix is really coming together. Can't wait to see the interior process unfold. Take care everyone.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you for watching Shawn! Your support means a lot !

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

GREAT video Jason, Joe and team! I am always eagerly awaiting EVERY episode of the 401, and they never disappoint. You are doing such a wonderful job with this project. Please be safe when flying!

[@BonziBill]

Heres an Idead for the turnbuckles on the door. To prevent the buckle from scuffing up the paint on the door frame, Just put a piece of heat shrink. and now its scuff free!

[@Xdonald331]

Brilliant

[@ryanjohnstone29]

All you need to do is rotate the cable 180 degrees so the buckle is at the step connection

[@BonziBill]

@@ryanjohnstone29 Damm why didn't I think of that?

[@kevinwaller7962]

I looked at the first couple of episodes the other day and it really put into perspective just how much has been done to the 401! Really enjoying the channel and everything you’re all doing!.

[@paulspencer4631]

It's good to see that you are on the mend. I've watched this build from day one, and I can never wait for the next episode to drop.

[@RobertLake-mf2qt]

Nice work, guys. It is always a pleasure. Take care of yourselves and keep on going.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you! Will do!

[@mikeratcliff1446]

Great video. It’s good to see the 401 getting some good work done.

[@larryburwell8550]

great progress on the 401. great video and ill be watching them all. thanks

[@ecotts]

Its nice seeing the old boy work, but don't let him hurt his back. Wrecking your spine / back can turn your life upside down.

[@anthonyivy1305]

Jason, how is the progress going on getting the pilots license? I might have missed it but havent heard any mention of that in awhile.

[@amcconnell6730]

When cameraman Harry swaps roles with presenter Jason, we learn that they really were in the right jobs before the swap. :)

[@rebuildrescue]

🤣😂👍🏼

[@Ellis157]

Joe is a beast . love ya joe

[@Melmac481]

Have been watching this since you started to fix this and now seeing it putting toghether is fantastic! Waiting to saturday afternoon every week to watch a new video! Why is it so long between saturdays??!!! :D

[@AlphaHotelFlightSimulation]

I think the technical name of those parts is probably tip tank fairings. "An aircraft fairing is a structure cover whose primary function is to produce a smooth outline and reduce drag." Those seem to fit that description.

[@scott.c9587]

Beautiful car and great job on the 401. Thank you guy's love your hard work

[@rebuildrescue]

That means a lot, thank you for being apart of the channel Scott

[@mattbasford6299]

Those headlights on the Mustang bring back a lot of memories

[@alexanderduke1749]

You should look in to the small hydraulic assist cylinders they use for truck tailgates. They usually just bolt to the hardware for the cables. Just a thought.

[@KandMe1]

A lot of big little jobs. Well done, thanks for the post. I get a lot of inspiration from these. Thank you, it’s just good to be able to witness something of a long term project done properly and completely. Yeah I get a lot of inspiration because even now being an older guy I am only now learning to exercise patience. My own project has nothing to do with aviation but it has a sum of parts and requires patience, and has got equipment which needs to be bought and sold. It’s with music production, original music. Yeah so just to say thanks and say it is really good to see what is emerging especially the 401.

[@jonathanworthing6278]

Thank Jason had the camera,I was getting dizzy when you had it.

[@jman5673]

Great video as always, from someone who has used 1000s of ty=wraps in my career trim off the excess twisting with lineman pliers or flush cut side cutters. If not you leave a very sharp edge.

[@stoyan_vuchev]

Wow! You guys made my Saturday evening epic! I love seeing the progress on the Phoenix. Sometimes it feels like a dream, but it's reality! I'm happy to see Jason healing up, and everyone having a Great time, which is what reality matters after all. As always, keep up the Great work, and have an Amazing weekend y'all! 🙌🏼❤️‍🔥

[@rebuildrescue]

Always awesome hearing from you Stoyan, we're glad you enjoyed! Have a good weekend!

[@johnwebber2471]

Damn!! Hold the iPhone steady and move it slowly when you record!! Your videos reminds me some old home movies that are difficult to watch for any length of time.

[@aarong6696]

Hard work with the one arm! big respect to keep pushing forward! You’re doing amazing! I hope everyone at the hanger is well!

[@rebuildrescue]

The grind doesn't stops, even with one less limb! 😂😅Thank you for your positivity!

[@aarong6696]

@@rebuildrescue positivity is the key 💪😊

[@Aaab2328]

I’ll be coming to Oshkosh from Australia in 2025 - it would be amazing to see the 401 there! 🤞

[@robbienorton9522]

At this rate it'll be Oshkosh 2028 lol

[@larryholme5253]

Any idea when the next video will be for the free abandoned yacht

[@foxstrangler]

I think they are still waiting to have the title sorted before they spend money on it.

[@mattamos193]

Thanks for another great episode to brighten up the weekend!

[@Bluoranges]

Maybe look at an extended leather sheath which covers the turn buckles as well as the cable to prevent metal on metal abrasion on the door frame? As you say, it's the little jobs that eat into the project but I know you'll get there, great job so far.

[@RickyD1968]

The 401 is looking Awesome good job !!!

[@christophergagliano2051]

I hate to tell you my friend but you put the stair doors on too early. You're going to be in and out of that airplane a thousand times carrying items to be installed You're going to put a lot of abuse on that air stare when a bench / stand would work so much better.

[@FranktheTank-bk8me]

Thumbs up for another 401 update 👍😎

[@wshauck9527]

I would like to thank Joe for his fearlessly getting his teeth fixed. June 24 I get my temps installed. Thanks Joe.

[@rebuildrescue]

We love that ! Good luck with everything 👍🏼

[@kingnuthin23]

People really underestimate how important dental health is, kudos to you for getting it taken care of!

[@scottgaree7667]

@@rebuildrescue Your work for Joe was inspiration to do the same for my Mom and it has made a huge difference in her health and mental well-being. Sometimes you make an impact on others unintentionally.

[@yackinthebikeandfun]

Such a Good Episode, I cannot wait to see the Phoenix up in the skies like it once was, Props to Joe 👊 and Jason, May God bless you all.

[@Stanty16]

If you really want a wild idea for that 402 fuselage, turn it into a sandrail with passenger seating

[@Acelachaser1965]

A 4x4 402? A la Jimmy’s World style? What could possibly go wrong? 😁

[@steve_lehr]

Loved the sight of the "wing walkers" at 30:00!

[@davebuser]

Motion sickness starts at 12:59. Never give Jason the camera again.

[@chriscook8076]

Using a body dolly and a body hammer would help take the dings out pretty quickly. Just a thought for next time.

[@J1Bracket-lf9pn]

Should have done a collaboration with Wes Lee Music Repair. 90% of his videos are massaging dents out of metal. Of course, I imagine working with brass is much different than steel.

[@petewells6379]

Hey guys, it is looking great! Sorry about your wounded flipper.

[@littlenismo]

Mike, what a guy...

[@virgilio1355]

Jason how far are you toward getting you pilots license. ?

[@franksando635]

no pun intended but one step closer 😂👍🏆 Great job guys

[@jamesstuder5045]

Got it. Not the tip tanks, but the tips of the tanks.

[@conradboss]

Yes, landing gear on the 402. 😊

[@fox_reaper7478]

good job on the aeroplane 👍👍

Always listen to what the medical staff say.....yet, I too drove a heavy truck with my busted up shoulder, A man has to do what a man has to do to get things done ! Get better soon.

[@rebuildrescue]

A man has to get things done… Hurt or not. 💪🏼👍🏼

[@handy_kc]

Tedious work on those tip tanks. I'm not sure I have the patience for that. The 401 is looking good! Do something fun / stupid with the carcass of the 402. Take care of that arm Jason!

[@alielmais3747]

I wonder when this plan will be airborne feels like ages

[@tennysoncason772]

Nice work.

[@kennethreise6416]

On the tip tanks I hope you guys did the math for the compression of the metal as it can cause cracks later on. Just a reminder. On vehicles, you wouldn’t care about him right now to death but on aircraft, it can get a little bit tricky.

[@thomasplaisted3579]

My 235 was N9397W! Not much older than thos one!

[@mbathome112]

Awesome job guys🛫

[@theonlytruedragin]

Tell Joe that he should NEVER do that shaking thing again. You never know when a camera will be on you at Rebuild Rescue and that wasn’t a very flattering look. Funny as hell though lol 😂

[@rebuildrescue]

🤣😂👍🏼

[@virgilio1355]

Must say Jason it’s better you don’t operate the camera. You guys all have your strengths and yours is not a cameraman.

[@sergnoff94]

Ooh, more 401. Gimme gimme gimme =)

So you should challenge Elon musk to a challenge you can get that airplane ✈️ done before SpaceX gets to Mars! 😂

nah, joe is the most important part of this project 😊

[@alittletexasingeorgia]

Just put a longer bolt with a teflon or alum spacer to keep it away from the doorway.

[@jonwashburn7999]

getting closer

[@fanelli57]

402Cs have pneumatic cylinders for the cabin upper doors. Those older ones are dangerous because they fall with the slightest bump. I still have a scar on my forehead from one of those sharp corners.

[@JackCrack-p3s]

Hi fellas. As always great show. Have to comment today tho, Where did you get that rattle can spray nozzle?! (Joe used for primer on tip tanks) Not only a handle, but a fan (not a small circle!) pattern?! I really need one of those! Bought some small spray caps few years ago from home despots that adjust but they don't fit any can nozzles. So they pour out more than they spray.

[@coldsamon]

"Rust-Oleum Comfort Grip" Available at Home Depot.

[@theofficialdiamondlou2418]

Could you use Dinema braided line for the door? It’s lighter , stronger , and causes no damage …. 🤷‍♂️

[@mikehuth3541]

Rough short ride!

[@IMsmallfri]

I could see someone with rollerblades a forklift and a towrope lol

You said that your arm will slow you down a bit. I don't know if it's your arm... Your'e a tall, big strong man. The difference between you and Joe is you mean Power, Joe means Performance. Both of you have a nice day. Take care 😂😂

[@RaymondNiemiec-wy7ni]

Now I have to wait a whole week to see more 😢 oh well I’ll be waiting impatiently, ok Joe do your best to keep everyone straight 😂

[@rebuildrescue]

😂😂

[@jonblair5470]

That top hatch “lever” is flat and thin. A pneumatic cylinder is not going to fit there without modification, which may require new window and a hole rabbit hole. But i agree would’ve been nice to think about in the design phase of the 401.

[@N98858]

PROGRESS x9... Thanks, I enjoy each weeks video! ';-)

[@joekerrthejoker]

Keep at it! Nearly there! You guys should add a section to your website of RR alumni - all the planes you’ve restored and sent out into the world to keep flying

[@johnkirby8849]

How many times are you going to repair the tip tanks? They’ve been off and on many times now.

[@dadedubbledee]

Stick that old airframe on a school bus chasis with a Cummins diesel turbo

[@Hughes500]

Do you guys have a feel for what will be the last task before the 401 is ready to fly? Not paperwork, but the last nut and bolt type task that will be the end. I can't imagine how that would feel for you all.

[@jamestannachion8405]

Do you have to be concerned about work hardening the aluminum? I would think that as it hardens, you would have a greater potential for cracking over time. If this is, or could be and issue, what is your solution?

[@stevenewtube]

Just curios, did you need ground clearance to taxi the forklift and fuselage? 😂

[@samuelstringham7129]

What happened to Sam's airplane freedom?

[@emaneasler]

Great guys. Can’t wait to see how this thing ends up. I’m going to be as Oshkosh 2025 I want to see it there lol.
