IS ED STILL ALIVE??? TOOK SO LONG TO GET WHERE IT'S AT.. HOPE HE LIVES LONG ENOUGH TO ENJOY IT..

[@sandqwert]

About the tail lights, have you considered using some kind of gasket to avoid water getting into the housing?.

[@ProthoPectore]

you can get a sheet of rubber for making custom furnace gaskets. even a cut n' sliced bicycle inner tube sheet of rubber would work. i was wonderin' the same thing.

[@operator0]

Ehh, it rains so rarely there that they probably don't need to worry about it. I doubt Ed will want to drive it on the few rainy days that they do get.

[@ProthoPectore]

@@operator0 i got $5 on Ed using his nugget just like he used to. he wants to go to his camp. just like the Morrvair was a show car for a few days then got back to work the Golden Nugget is a work truck. i think Ed will use his truck like he used to. the first scratch / dent will suck, but after that it'll earn it's pay. it's a tool for Ed. i'm sorta sure all these beautiful human beings are into functionality and utility first. aesthetics come in third. another example is MischiefMaker and Hollie. beautiful jeep but it's a trail machine first n' foremost. just like the Six Million Dollar Man was used by the government the Golden Nugget has a mission to complete for Ed.

[@sandqwert]

@@operator0 that's true, I thought of that. But dust can get inside as well, or water under a light rain (spray) or even a car wash...

[@mariodesmo]

The Nugget is looking really good, especially with those new headlights. I wasn't too sure about the idea of LED headlights, but these look good in there. Also, don't try too hard to to pull one over on Ed, he's been around enough that he can smell a con-job out of thin air! Old guys are all-knowing and alive for a reason!

[@k1j2f30]

Yup, 70-80 + years of living = a wealth of knowledge! True wisdom, spoken by a person, ____ years old! Lol.

Priceless at 03:54.0! Perfect deflection Robby checks the belt sander and Paul wonders to the back. Has me here reminiscing of the Good times.

[@Mrintelligent2025]

That jeep looks amazing and everyone did a amazing job on it for Ed . He's going to love it .

[@Noslime]

I’m an electrician by trade and I use stepper bits all the time. The best one I have found for the money is actually Milwaukee. The way they are made now they will fit in a quarter inch impact. That’s really nice because I find it gives more control. The only possible drawback I can see is that they are incredibly sharp and if you are cutting through some thing thin like sheet metal, it will go through it like butter so you have to be careful. And if you’re cutting through thicker steel, make sure not to overheat it and use cutting oil and it will last a long time. I think those headlights look more than OK, it sets the whole truck off! It looks really nice and makes it look like it rolled off the production line yesterday. I really dig it

[@robnobrc]

Agree on the Milwaukee step bits!! Also remember slower is better, Less heat! They also can be sharpened with a reputable tool sharpening service. We pay like $15 per bit

[@al_exs]

Project Farm has a great video on that, I don't remember exactly, but I know Milwaukee is one of the best, also DeWalt has good ones too.

[@garyhammond4941]

I'm really enjoying this build, I'm on pins and needles waiting for the reveal! The other thing I wanted to say is that watching and rewatching all your videos there are things to pick up on including the people that work with you, your kids and Michelle who is brilliant! Keep reading the negative comments and responding haters gonna hate. Really enjoy what you guys do!!

[@tealcheif1949]

What an amazing transformation on the golden nugget!!! Excellent job everyone!

[@DirtLifestyle]

I've always wanted one of these! Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you guys on this build

[@20tea]

Totally agree! Got me a Samurai, but would love to have one of these as well. Ed will be blown away! Also, I really enjoy your channel, so thank you for all the work you do too! Love your fab skills and projects. Very inspirational.

[@DirtLifestyle]

@@20tea thanks man I appreciate it 🙏

[@blastingweevil2968]

i love and respect the older generation they have so much life experience people should pay more attention to them.also with the lights splitting them you will need to add some kind of rubber seal on the front and back to stop water getting in

[@ianstoyan]

Do not text.

[@oldblkjeep]

Your continuation on the Golden Nugget is looking fantastic! Even if someone told Ed you were completely redoing his Suzuki, when he sees it he will not expect such an astonishing makeover!!!!

[@russellhltn1396]

I love the part where Matt wakes up at just the right time. So funny. I think he woke up because things got too quiet.

[@mikedesilets3324]

I've been using that baking soda trick for about 40 years. It is very handy. You can even build it up and sand it.

[@2GuysandaBug]

Wow, that looks so good. I bet it is a little nerve racking working on something so shiny after working on the tow truck :) Can't wait to see Ed's reaction.

[@timtwitch3567]

Awesome watching the team work together for this surprise . Pride in every piece of this journey .

[@blackthebanner]

Leave it to the body work guy to be the ONLY one using microfiber rags to hold the nugget meanwhile everyone’s getting their shop hand grease on the new paint job haha

[@pam6886]

Stories with Ed are truly the best...lol! We should write them all down and write a book, lol! You guys are wonderful with what you're doing for him! Thank you for sharing all of this!

[@7eis]

Good on ya taking on this project. Everyone involved straight up blessed
