[@DatBoiOrly]

Alright subbing just because my garage has also has a sexy calendar ;)

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Haha! Ya Gotta have one in the garage!

[@DatBoiOrly]

@@Tinman2Kustoms you can't work without some eye candy in the shop ;)

[@groomlake51]

Crazy to see the evolution of your skills and knowledge!! The first vid I watched was the valiant a few years back when you asked me about using our BME rods in your cummins. You should be very proud of your self ... you are a quick learner. Have you ever thought about getting in to drag racing ? We are looking for a few crew guys to work on a nitro funny car. If you ever go to a NHRA National even drag race , stop buy the snap on fuel funny car pit and ask for nick

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Groom Lake hey man thank you for the compliment!! I still have a LONG WAYS to go before I'm to the level I want to be at, but slowly picking up skills. Thank you for following all this time also! Would be very fun to be a part of some high horse drag racing stuff!! If you'd like, shoot me an email to [e-mail] I'm usually pretty busy but something like that could be arranged probably :)

[@jcricket-vr5xr]

Great video brother like always cant wait for the next one

[@BrandonLund]

I just stumbled onto your channel. I love your truck!

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Brandon Lund thanks man!

[@scottpress5985]

can't wait for this build to be done bro!

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Scott Press not sure if that's a complement or not!! Lol

[@fssteeringwheels]

thank you! looks great!

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Forever Sharp Steering Wheels yeah thank you for making a nice wheel! Super stoked to see it all comes together in the interior. Actual video of it being mounted and whatnot will be coming when the interior is closer to being finished

[@justinjohnston8704]

I can't wait until the next episode. Im thinking of IRS a F100 with one of those.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Justin Johnston well, the driveshaft Is something that's becoming an expensive problem because of the weird yoke design on the 2015-2017 mustang IRS that we are running

[@justinjohnston8704]

Tinman 2 Kustoms It's an 8.8 housing isn't it? Get a 8.8 yoke for a UJoint is what I had planned.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Justin Johnston the yoke is different on this axle. It takes a companion flange with an adapter thats like a ball. There are no ujoints in the rear section Of the oem driveshaft

[@justinjohnston8704]

Tinman 2 Kustoms Can you have the end for a mustang shaft/pinion connection put on a custom shaft?

[@justinjohnston8704]

Tinman 2 Kustoms What are the hub to hub measurements? And how wide is that K member?

[@amunderdog]

Workin it - Thanks

[@ZeekDuff]

Yeah, you've got some work to do to make the ride worthy of that steering wheel!!! Hahaha, looks good so far man, onward! BTW, there's not much else worse in the world than fixing someone else's mistakes. Good luck with THAT. 😎

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Been doing it far too much lately!!! Everything on this car is being redone.... Right now it's even getting an IRS lol stay tuned ;)

[@groomlake51]

Looks like you make your weld nuts with a friction drill, very cool. Do you use the friction bit on a mill ? I have a friend that is able to do anything under .400 on his drill press

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Groom Lake I wish I made them lol we have just had a collection of them for years that dad got from an old job. I don't even have a mill, lathe or any of that. Maybe someday though!

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

I could probably rig something up with a homemade slide table on our drillpress and get some endmills, but at that point it's just easier to buy them lol our drillpress is just a harbor freight special from quite a few years back

[@felicepassaseo9954]

Brandon look for tinmans rat rod and trailer..wild .....

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Felice Passaseo thanks man!

[@groomlake51]

Are you running a quadrajet carb??? If your thinking about running a spacer to mount a square bore carb to than manifold I would advise against it .

[@rockerpat1085]

Where do you get those weld nuts? I'm going to need some for my 39 Ford coupe. Very cool info.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

We got a bunch of them from dad's old work. But I think they can be ordered through fastenal. They also have a thing called "squeeze nuts", which work in a similar way, but aren't quite as strong/durable.

[@rockerpat1085]

+Tinman 2 Kustoms Thanks alot. I'll be checking with my bolt guy. Very good way to secure things. Much better than the rivet nuts. Those will spin sometimes, much better to weld in and I like how they come through the sheet metal. Good design. Thanks. Keep Rocking it out!!!

[@sk8erEkaJ]

You can get them from McMaster for pretty cheap www.mcmaster.com/#nuts/=1boaxql

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Rocker Pat yes the riv nuts can definitely spin, and it makes them a real pain in the ass sometimes lol only thing with these is make sure to keep the bolt in them when you weld. Otherwise you'll have to run a tap through them every time

[@rockerpat1085]

+Tinman 2 Kustoms Thanks great info. I'm definitely going to get them. I really like the fact they're available already done, makes it easier to make it right. Over time the holes will wear out with just a bolt, washer's and nuts moving around. Much more like a factory hole in the firewall. Thanks for sharing.

[@kenswitzer4133]

Hey Man, if you make a mistake I learn so Thanks.

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

That's the goal! Thank you

[@BHbrewing]

Bad ass

[@lettucesandwich8952]

What do think about bagging a 68 f100?

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Sgt.Herbert whatever makes ya happy man!

[@groomlake51]

One more thing take that proportioning valve and throw it away and buy a 20$ willwood manual valve in there. I have never had the one your using live for more than a year or two and no matter what they never work right. Also if you use a manual p valve you can use it as a line lock to Do burn outs

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Groom Lake haha yeah this video is actually really old... Was shot like 6 months ago. I actually am working on getting a wilwood master cylinder setup! Ha

[@doughopkinsjr]

Are you going fuel injection or carb?

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Doug Hopkins kinda both lol you'll have to wait & see!

[@doughopkinsjr]

Tinman 2 Kustoms hmm.....you have my attention.....hurry up then lol. You know the famous guys on TV can do this in an hour.....jk obviously. Thanks for the video!

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Doug Hopkins hahahaha!!! Right. If I had 10 employees and a guy just getting parts it'd be done by now! But it's all me!

[@Lucky4zo]

Just curious, what’s the budget?

[@Tinman2Kustoms]

Marc Redding low lol think we've spent under 5,000$ so far. Mom & dad are broke. I'm volunteering the labor though obviously

[@Lucky4zo]

Tinman 2 Kustoms nice!

[@ronaldodg]

Great. And nice hot girl on the wall..... kkkkkkk
