[@jaystax-x]

Nope... Just went to the web shop and none of those t-shirts are available.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

They will be in about four seconds.

[@jaystax-x]

And just like that... There they are!

[@DevinMichaels-bx2qk]

Puddins restore that bmx you found . That would be awesome

[@ktmcc4360]

Yea no dice.

[@GregoryJohnston77]

His shirts are BAD ASS quality and the hats are tits, no bullshit BEST HAT I've ever put on my head.

[@Perpetualnerd63]

Shop build was fun, but I'm glad to see car builds again!

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Let’s get it!

[@brinleynicholson4588]

My great granny always said if you play with fire you'll piss the bed 🤣

[@drive42]

The next time the brake is dragging when you pull up to the shop, jack up the wheel and crack the bleeder. If you have pressure, then check the flex hose by cracking the line loose ahead of the hose. If both rear brakes were dragging and there was pressure on both calipers, the residual check valve may be incorrect. Drum brakes use a 5 psi residual check valve, while disc brakes use a 2 psi check valve. The residual check valve is incorporated into the master cylinder. There might be a chance you have a disc/drum master cylinder rather than a disc/disc. You will get it figured out! I enjoy your videos, and keep throwing Mortske some shade!

[@luthergrimace4283]

Just ran into this with an eBay disc brake kit for a 64 Chevy II wagon. Switched to a disc/disc master cylinder.

[@josephhaynie4398]

Oh, my gosh, anybody who unsubscribed missed out big time in this 1 video. If anybody did not enjoy the moving in videos they missed out big time. This video made up for all the time you took videos of moving in. You're a genius, great job. Sorry to everybody who wasn't willing to Wait for this video, it was well worth it.!

[@mmatthewsphx]

Move the rotor to the other side for a test and see if the noise follows the rotor. Might be getting hot and warping a bit because of the emergency brake binding from before.

[@ScubaShafer]

Yep. That will tell you at least something. Good idea

[@mikes2876]

Just FYI, the power steering pump "short" bolt should have a copper washer from OEM or an o ring on the bolt head.

[@welderse14]

Glad to see your all settled. It really shows in this video Your are more jovial and acting like the Old Puddin!! Proud of you young man.

[@robertwilliams2623]

Hey pudden went to Walmart and had your hat on this guy seen it and did the arm swing thing you do i spit my coffee all over the in side of my truck. Good times

[@xxkillerkane420xx8]

When you forget it’s Monday cause you work retail and then see a puddin video pop up!!!! SO PUMPED!! Let’s go puddin!

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Appreciate ya being here!

[@Mister006]

Do you know what's beautiful? That view out the garage doors at 49:51 The light is perfect, the scene is perfect, perfect helper, everything perfect. Hot Rod showin' up was EXCELLENT! 😭I'm not cryin' you're cryin'!

[@darrenhoare8704]

Check your brake master, there are 3 types, drum-drum, disc-drum and disc-disc. The drum ones have a check valve in them that hold a little pressure and that may be your problem.

[@takuacheperformance4740]

Yep the proportioning valve

[@rattles3044]

Puddin......... Prairie Doggin it from the shop to the house. 🤣

[@johnscott750]

Hey Pudding, when you put your right rear tire back on, it looked like your exhaust pipe was touching the tire, that might be where your rubbing is, great show though keep up the good work

[@EverythingN.Nothing]

Watching a YT vid with a backup alarm going in the background has got me feeling like im at work.😂

[@kellypallaye4398]

To keep brake fluid from leaking out of the reservoir if you have to open the system, wedge a long screwdriver or metal rod between the front edge of the seat and the brake pedal, so it pushes the pedal down some to lightly apply the brakes. This will block off the return port in the master cylinder and keep fluid from leaking out while you have the system open. This way too, you don't risk letting air into any line other than the one you're working on. Love the content. Keep up the awesome work! And, I really want to see you finish Mr. Mercer.

[@DevinMichaels-bx2qk]

Puddins you need a shop cart from house to garage , how about make a custom john Deere with a gocart motor that would be Kool an is content different the guys need .

[@davidfulton3939]

I was just going to tell him about depressing the brake pedal too! Put a battery tender on or remove the negative battery cable because of the brake lights! Good stuff Puddin’!

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025]

​@@davidfulton3939he could just break the circuit with the switch under the dash and have that switch light up when current is flowing through it. So when current is flowing to the taillights then flip knob is lit up. Are you some kind of indicator light. I can remember having this option on a couple of vehicles myself. My grandfather had this option on a couple of his card back in his day. He just remembered to flip the switch at the right time anyway. It wasn't because of a malfunction. Let's just say he was transporting homemade Brew. And my bedtime but you don't want to have lights shining on the back of your car. Same principle. Just a thought 🤔

[@seancasey2296]

I can’t believe you can still find parts at a junkyard!! We don’t have any vehicles that old in the yards here in NJ

[@Poorfarmer44]

I ran those similar brakes before with conversion brackets, and the caliper pins would rub on the outside diameter of the rotor occasionally. Just a thought. Ps; would love to see a golf cart build. It would save you a lot of running around the yard.

[@Fflen-o3z]

I hate those brakes. Using the parking brake adjusts the calipers, if you do not use the parking brake one day you will not have rear brakes, you have to move to lever back and fourth to bring the pistons out. Also if your trans is a 700r4 12v will lock up the converter but you need a switch or a speed sensor/relay module and adjust speed to lock and unlock. Ron Francis You can't keep the converter locked up.

[@drseussicide]

looking forward to that golf cart build someday

[@Salmomlox]

The shop Decore' is awesome. Love the restock clip ☺ "Can't catch a break with these brakes" "Holy Evergreen Feeds" Great job on the '61 Wagon. It turned out great. Have an awesome day and look forward to the next project.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thanks for being here!

[@ronhoneycutt8155]

Nice Ending to the Story About a '61 Chevrolet Station Wagon. Thank You Again Puddin for taking me along on the Entire Journey with Y'all

[@sprintmademe]

Not sure if you actually showed it before but your exhaust guy nailed it with what he did. Tucked away nicely.

[@basedWisco715]

Came to say this. That’s one of the best exhaust jobs I’ve seen

[@paulgibbons7338]

Another awesome video congratulations to pot Countys newest socer star HOT ROD 🔥 🎉🎉😊

[@patricktewart493]

I'd like to see Mr Mercer and /or someday Model A be the next project , or have both of them in the shop at the same time

[@RebeccaGriffin-b8n]

Only got to install the front-end plus exhaust on Mr Mercer

[@user-427.commodore]

S10 give away... 😊

[@andrewstallings]

Love the visits from Hotrod!

[@ScottBryant-wi7gb]

Digging the new shop. Glad to see you moving forward Puddin.

[@russellherrmann6748]

been watching you for years I can't work out why you're not 500,000

[@haroldstover2480]

In the old days alot of the power steering pumps had a oring under that bolt. Keep up the good work. Have you checked the leanth of the push rod to the master cylinder. If it is a little to long it will not release all pressure to brakes.

[@mustangjustin7654]

Some string lights going from building to building over the empty pad between the buildings would be a next level look & place to hang out/get night time photos.

[@billdonald7827]

You need to make a pedestal stand for your vise so you can move it around but be stable

[@charlesirby9222]

This worked for me ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ2QlJyqfdSipZY ... Fixing up my Vise Stand (Another 'quickie project' in my 'Shop Spring Makeover'. )

[@LonTierney]

Got plenty of steelies…

[@RebeccaGriffin-b8n]

He would be better off if he made a trolley , with lockable wheels ,with the vice attached .

[@doctorprick2843]

hey, at least he got it bolted down this week. Last week he looked like a monkey trying to f#@& a foot ball using it unmounted .

[@calivalley9056]

And move it away from the HVAC returns.

[@troysgarage]

Every brake line job I do I end up forgetting one tube nut. It’s like a right of passage! Sometimes I forget it on the first one on purpose just to get it out of the way. Then I can focus and work, git ‘er dun!

[@Perpetualnerd63]

Always look forward to Mondays... Puddin' and Mortske!

[@PuddinsFabShop]

👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@angryclown1990]

The best part of this whole video is ol Dad choking up talking about how proud he is of his kid. Good job Hot Rod!

[@Zanzan066]

Been watching since the start of the build and may I say puddin you are doing amazing I'm so happy for you for moving from small shop to big I can't wait for the future videos ❤

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thank ya!

[@Zanzan066]

@PuddinsFabShop your welcome I love you content and your a great guy keep up the good work 👏

[@charlylucky7508]

I hope he shows it again after ol boy puts in the interior.

[@stomper2582]

A remedy for that brake noise, if it starts up again. Turn the radio up. That’s what my brother used to tell me when I heard noises in my 57.

[@Jordan.McDowell]

The brake problem could a proportioning valve. They rarely ever go bad. But it does happen. So each time you hit the brakes, the pressure may not relieve entirely when you let up. So each time you hit the brakes the pressure adds up more and more. Could also be a tear in the rubber brake line on the inside. Can create a flap that won't allow brake fluid to push back when you let off of the brakes

[@ericbeumer4554]

Hello i like your channel on youtube, and good luck with your new shop, it is really beautiful and above all, have fun with new projects, greetings from the Netherlands

[@pas-kv8ud]

How many of wives out there have helped bleed brakes at least once? I know mine has helped more than a few times. Thanks dear. lol.

[@dustinhix6631]

holy cow a two hour episode on a tuesday lets go

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Just wanna say you've done a great job with that shop. Can't wait to see it in a few years when it's been "lived in" for a while. I'm sure you'll find other little trinkets and decorations for it along the way. Grats man the hard work and determination pays off. You've been blessed and should be proud of your accomplishments. also if the air needs a little assist a good drum fan to pull it that way would work just fine.

[@PapiDoesIt]

I'm not tired of the wagon. I want MORE of the wagon.

[@benjaminrader6805]

Check that you're rear tires are not hitting the exhaust. The right rear hit the exhaust when you put the wheel back on

[@craigbuth1914]

Dear Mr. PooDan. Excellent show!!! Happy to see fab work. I was one of the people who did NOT complain. It was worth the wait!

[@DavidMeador-o3s]

Pudding you’re a blessing man you have a great family keep it up 👍

[@klapaucius77]

Grinding the welds reminded me I had a dentist appointment today, Thanks, I think 😂

[@blownspokesgarage]

DAY 6 OF ASKING PUDDEN TO RESTORE THE BMX BIKE HE FOUND AND SHOW STICKS COLLECTION

[@dropem519]

I agree restoring that would be dope

[@karlsbicycleshop2474]

It would be good for the 2nd channel.

[@jonnybrown600]

I think he said he was giving to Slick

[@quentinstorm2536]

Yes

[@dynamike7108]

Maybe ask Puddin instead

[@stevebrzezinski8480]

The shop looks great. I'm glad to see some wrenching again but to be honest I really don't care what the content is about. I'll watch no matter what it's about.

[@jrw886]

I have been lovin these longer videos. Keep up the great work and thank you for providing such awesome content for us to watch

[@robertlemoi7919]

That guy going to the bathroom was just too much. I am still laughing. What a creative mind you have. Humor at its best.

[@groundhog8148]

Have to tell you Puddin you look good working on your vehicles in the new shop so much room even with vehicles in there awesome videos as always good work I’ll be waiting for next videos

[@johnstancato8785]

Got your dad shoes on I see they look good on 👍👍

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Love wearing them!

[@johnstancato8785]

I need to get me a pair

[@airstream65]

The wagon is a great build! Looking forward to seeing what’s next.

[@Things2Delete]

That was such an excellent conversation, and for her to wanna hang out with her dad, Bro, I miss those days, teaching how the torch works, how to make the mig work, how to do "c.a.d" 😅

[@smarternu]

Consider a laser temperature sensor to see if one of the brakes is getting hot.

[@briscoelcamino7850]

The part about not flushing the wipes made me laugh. I'm a wastewater treatment plant operator. Baby wipes are a huge nationwide problem if flushed. They collect together and create "rafts" and plug up pumps and lines causing all kinds of problems. Enjoy the video. Congrats on getting the wagon "finished"!😎👍

[@sirrotten6963]

You got to put the air conditioning back in that old wagon, that would be really sweet

[@wheresdib]

I don’t understand people who have a problem with what YOU the content creator want to do. Mini trucks, old rusty American cars, building a shop, whatever! You keep being you no matter what.

[@stevew270]

This is my favorite series you've done to date, probably because it's the only project I've ever watched. 😁 I can tell I'm gonna enjoy this channel!

[@jefffindley5870]

Another great video. Here's a tip . Go to a body shop and ask for some body panel boxes . Great for sloppy jobs like oil changes and dripping break bleeding. You can fold them up and hide them for a couple of jobs then burn them or dumpster them . Most shops are happy to get rid of them .

[@victorrobison5069]

Just when you thought it was safe to post videos, The Arkie returns! Seriously Puddin' , bevel the brake pads on the front and see whut happens. Polk county legend rebounds !

[@rexkean]

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to Hotdog! ⚽️ You Crack me up Puddin'! Love your videos(cars and shop build)

[@anthonybarron3157]

Between all my interruptions I believe I have finally getting to watch all your video this time Puddin and that little hotrod she's is growing up so fast seems like it's great but still sad our kids grow up so fast my two daughters has me five grandchildren and I worry about them growing up in this ol world I'll probably be to old or probably not around but we will love watching them and helping them as much as possible. Anyway I love watching your videos you are so wild crazy and right up my alley lol it's no wonder all the friends you have love being around you when they can your just alright keep up putting those videos out and just don't ever get yourself hurt always be careful safety is a big part of being able to keep taking care of yourself and that beautiful family of your I say prayers for you guys always A-men and you are so funny you have me laughing so much I've been getting my Dad watching you here lately he like it pretty good okay I've said to much for now lol 😂❤

[@BigDaddyCaveman1]

With your welding and fabricating skills, it would be a simple mater of taking some flat stock and Thickwall tubing to make head height jack stands. Just place under the axle or swing arm and lower the lift until the part bottoms out. Use a Exhaust jack stand for inspiration.

[@member57]

Awesome feeling driving a vehicle you just built with your own hands.

[@emmettschwartz1414]

I want to thank you fir what you do I am disabled and can’t really work on cars anymore e so watching you I get my satisfaction and my laughs sometimes

[@whatsoutthere6822]

Just a thought. The rear brakes don't require flexible lines because the brakes are fixed to the rear end.

[@timbollinger3209]

Congrats HOTROD ON YOUR ✌🏻GOALS👍🏻

[@garyinman5400]

Love the wagon just give us a good family trip when you get it all doe inside.

[@Speedbumpcustoms]

One wire alternators don’t self excite and start charging until you rev past I believe 2800 rpm’s. You can get that plug you pointed at and only hook up the red wire to the charge wire on the alternator and that will excite the charging circuit at all times. Learned this when I converted my 61 Corvair wagon over to an alternator.

[@bloodreighn]

Hey Pudin, please dont pop ur cars up on the 2 poster by their control arms, please only jack up by the frame we wunna see you around much longer and that would be a good start

[@themccaffery]

You had me at the point where the damn steering wheel nut wasn't wrapped too tight when the starter wasn't hitting. :) Thank you!

[@astravanmk2]

Well done ironing out the issues on the wagon. It’s an awesome car.

[@MJS1455]

finally caught the shirts in stock was so excited i ordered all 5 new ones

[@CarDocBabaPhilipo]

Nice work on the old girl :)! I have used fuel line split down the side as an insulator wrapped around a few inches those e-brake flex housings before to keep it from rattling or making noise or scraping when applying or releasing the parking brake. That would be a dream car for me - love the utility 'abiliti' of that old wagon :). One the power steering pump, that bolt on the bottom is an attachment point for installing the reservoir. There is an o-ring or flat gasket o-ring that goes on the pump before the housing is pressed on. The bolt is part of the seal so I think you should be good on that if it stopped leaking. If it starts again you may have to take the pump apart, put a seal between the pump and the res. to stop the leak permanently. Good stuff Puddin :)! On the rear brakes, the pedal adjustment under the dash could have the rod in the master cylinder not retracting all the way when the brake is released. If you adjust the pedal travel out just an 1/8 - 3/16 it should release all fluid pressure and not allow it to build up and drag :)

[@craigvickers1835]

Can’t wait to see the inside of the addition!! I want some more of the white Puddin tshirt. Got the one I have stained and I want another one!!!

[@anthonybarron3157]

Alright that's awesome I seen your new building all finished with all attached with your garage it looks so good that's great now your wife and kids can be close by working doing the things they do that's so cool 😂😊

[@Ron_Presley]

Heating the paint cans also in hot water helps get a smoother finish.

[@ronr344]

Mine did that, I fixed it by turning up the radio

[@pawpawdiablo313]

Any station wagon I've ever had always had a "SKEET SKEET SKEET" going on in the back LOL...GREAT WAGON VIDEO

[@glen2848]

I’m sad that there’s not gonna be any more videos of the wagon. That’s what got me watching puddin! I have a 64 wagon and I was looking for videos to work on mine. Great show keep doin you! I’d watch you walk through a junkyard….oh wait I have

[@douglasswanson883]

I’ve noticed a lot of people telling you what you need to do. 😂 Love the videos Pudden you make my mondays ride smooth like yeehaul.

[@Mach1bud]

Lmao I was confused af. Im off this week for the first time in a long time and forgot its already Tuesday.

[@traviscoxracing]

I've been on vacation and couldn't watch KZbin. I've been missing the puddin fix. Good job puddin

[@Balerunner]

I don't know if you torqued your lug nuts. But I learned if you have Disk brakes you should torque your lug nuts. You can drag and warp rotor.

[@jfv65]

Those dragging brakes can sometimes be caused by residual pressure in the brakeline. That can be caused by old flex lines puffing up internally or an orrifice in the main brake cylinder not allowing the fluid to return to the reservoir when you let off the brake pedal. I have seen bith happen.

[@willkendall7096]

Just was wondering why you didn’t put hard brake pipe all the way up to the brakes. It’s not like it’s Independent rear suspension. You’d only need the flexi hose between the chassis and the axle then. Never mind. Loving the new shop and glad you’re back on the tools bringing us your crazy content.

[@Jim-hu6ou]

Family had a 61 Powder Blue Biscayne wagon when I was a kid. Did my first wrenching on it after the engine blew. My dad had me strip the block completely and bury it in the back yard. Still have one of the pistons as a paper weight.

[@jamesdearman814]

she's looking and running sharp puddin - good job!

[@mrbill8542]

You can use those foam ear plugs to block the fluid from dripping out--just twist them between your fingers till they are small enough to fit in the hose end ,they will swell up to seal it !! NO DRIPS !!

[@garrykellogg3215]

1:06:42 I did that in my 1995 Toyota Camry, and I Love it! You can see the extra mileage accumulate. Are you just doing a switch or adding a 'HALL' Magnetic Switch so when you hit your desired speed it comes on all by itself? 1:11:42 No Relay? No Switch? Isn't it going to cause your wagon to stall at low RPM? 1:12:36 I used a Mortske' Favorite, it's called a 'Scotch Clip'. LOL! 1:17:10 DAMN!!! Just straight on all the time!

[@ronreece89]

Great video alway sir. Making mondays just that much easier to handle.

[@war7334]

Its good to see you back wrenching and rhyming.i missed that.

[@canadianwrench]

Brake issue - i believe it’s your outer pad moving. Put a chisel between the rotor and pad - then tap those ears on top side of pads to squeeze the seating surface of pad backing to your caliper. Great video and beautiful save!

[@jeffreysalzman1497]

That wagon is absolutely gorgeous.

[@howardkoster4026]

MR. PUDDIN', I'm glad you showed us all the steps you took on setting up your new shop!!! GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR MRS. & YOU FAMILY !!!!! And, thanks again, for suggesting I change my footwear to Skechers!!!! Man oh man I NEVER walked this fast in my LIFE!!!! Sorry to see that you are having so much trouble with the '61 wagon. Once again, I'm not hear to complain and whine about your videos and content. I'm mature enough to keep any negative comments to myself. (Not that I have any negative comments about your content, you understand Mr. Puddin'.) Be well! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !!!! YOU'RE DOING FINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pontiac411]

I agree with you about putting lube on the brakes only collecting dirt, never done it never seen it this is new to me in 30 years owning 60 cars.

[@lanceknight4099]

Thank you for another entertaining video!

[@kajuncourier]

Puddin, have you ever thought about mounting that BIG vice on a portable metal table with locking wheels. Then you Can wheel and use it around the whole shop. If you have something wide to be held by the vice, portable vice will be twice as nice. On the 61 Chevy wagon, that white spot on the hood would look good with a big letter ( P ) - white letter outlined in black to go with the Patina.

[@danielmurray3496]

imagine that vice when it lands on your foot, severe lacerations and broken bones, please be safe and keep up the good work!

[@JoshuasTreeBox]

Watching you frolic on your way to that pry bar damn near put a tear in my eye
