[@AreteAutoworks]

I just inherited two 55 f100’s that need some serious work. Thank you for making this video!

[@Learnwoodwork]

Awesome content guys! Love listening to an experienced craftsman talk about his work and tools. Looking forward to more!

[@arthursmith1732]

Not a big fan of “reality “ shows but this video is clear,concise and well thought out. Great info and well delivered. Thank you.

[@diyjeff1838]

Shrinker and stretcher!! Never even thought of that. Great advice!!!

[@charlesmoeller-vu9nq]

I'm starting a metal fabrication business with my only son, a very seasoned and certified welder, and it's up to to equip and setup our shop in his roomy 2 1/2. car garage. Even thou automotive is not yet on our list I found your featured tools and their applications very helpful. Thank you for sharing and my next stop is more vids from you guys.

[@danielvick7875]

I believe I seen every TV show and video that you have made, and to me there is just no one else to compare your craftsmanship with! Natural bad ass fabrication

[@Anuskasv0]

Great video and interesting choices, never would've guessed a piece of railroad track would be included.

[@damiansailas6296]

Very good information thank you

[@rickwidlund3512]

Excellent information video. Great layout of what to use for different applications ! 👍❤️

[@jasoncampbell4723]

Excellent content !!! I have the vise but have never thought about a floating vise to move around the bench, excellent idea.

[@chucksgarage7165]

A drill press vise is very handy too. It’s heavy, low profile and is good for holding things for welding.

[@ClassicCarStudio]

Good tip!

[@adambergendorff2702]

Yes I use the one on my Bridgeport all the time!

[@fishpony1211]

Very inspiring! I wish i knew metal work. Very cool art

I've seen some of your work... Very Nice. Thanks for Sharing. Keep Up the Great Work.

[@murraymadness4674]

great idea on the unconnected vice, always had just once attached. I use extra-hands vice for my electronics, so the same idea, never thought of it for metal work.

[@stevejanka361]

Good morning, excellent suggestions. I bought a couple of bowling balls at a garage sale, I have them mounted on pedestals for different shaping and forming. Thanks for a great video. You take care and good luck.

[@Jonathan-q1i]

[@douglaskindt3195]

Need more of this stuff from you, doing a 1965 ford f 100 that needs alot of body work ,next weekend going to eastwood and buying they're hammer and dolly kit.

[@STeter76]

Great content. I want to get more into the metal fab side of vehicles.

[@bryancose3753]

Great explanation dude. My new BFF. LOL. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@ronbelldvm]

Good info. Thanks for sharing.

[@danielwatson2910]

Thanks Scott

[@bondobrian]

Excellent information Scott. It would be great to see more videos like this from a professional metal artist like yourself. It would be wonderful to see a video on your bead roller and an explanation on the different dies, also what to look for when choosing the between the different brands and styles of bead rollers. The same types of videos for plenishing hammers and english wheels would be awesome to see as well. Great job!

[@ClassicCarStudio]

Yes - We’ll be getting into all of these. Once we go over the tools we may do some on tips & tricks to improve your results while using them.

[@ericpetz5831]

That dollie you made from the old tie rod would be very handy. Just thought of this while watching your video, a couple of ball hitches of different sizes, would make good post dollies as well. And you can mount them upside down on a hitch reach, for even more versatility in tight areas.

[@reillydesign]

Really great. So simple. These are really great videos. Cool for you to take time out of your schedule to teach us newbies.

[@ClassicCarStudio]

Glad you like them!

[@frankfurther3828]

THANK YOU, Sensei.

[@santiagodominguez2522]

Absolutely 💯 helpful

[@RichBarschdorf]

Great ideas.

[@benodell9675]

Thanks for showing us. I'm new to building.

[@ClassicCarStudio]

You bet. If you're interested in metal shaping, check out a lead bag and some hand tools. It'll give you a great feel for manipulating metal, and they're tools you'll always use, no matter how advanced you get. We'll make another video with some mid level stuff you can check out soon.

[@ec4840]

Super awesome advice! Thx.

[@angelonikitaras2977]

Great info loved it

[@carlBigSpoonjohnson]

Hell yeah 👍 cheers 🍻

[@davidmcleod9892]

Thanks Scott. Real, down to earth instruction from a seasoned pro. Eyup Noah! Itching to to see the finished F600. Love what you all do. Thanks again.

[@ClassicCarStudio]

Tim’s putting together the F600 final assembly and reveal videos now…

[@jackpearson8052]

[@puppygadget3189]

Thanks

[@heidenfelderkustoms1502]

An old trailer hitch ball works nice also.

[@GetRealwithMike]

I'm 65 and always wanted to learn how to work metal. Can you create a how-to for newbies like me? Just a few basic lessons.

[@KevinHalliburton]

Very nice, thank you!

[@markpayne6803]

1st time here finally a video with no stupid music and great video (camera work)

[@jerryhuff86]

Really good stuff Scott buddy!!😎🍺🍺🚧🚧

[@viclopez3365]

Hey brother, that platform behind you where the F100 is sitting on is very worthy of a how to video. I’d love to build on for my barn-shop. I have a few projects where having something like that would make building them way better and easier. Thanks for what you do man, I really appreciate your experience and instructions

[@travisglasl953]

I really miss your show on tv

[@ClassicCarStudio]

Anything you particularly enjoyed that we can try to bring you more of here?

[@mi4deorosrenault475]

Gracias 👍 ok

[@racer67]

Thats a good idea OldSport think im gonna have to give that one a try never thought to flip a gas bottle over n use the bottom!🇺🇲

[@andrewkazanova5751]

i hope you will keep this video because time distance i will sleep that time thank you so much for all that informations

[@ClassicCarStudio]

It'll stay up. We hope you like it!

[@Industrialseven2000]

I noticed that blue vise moving around your work bench in a previous video and was like, Hmm good idea

[@Tattoodtoolow]

Good pair of glasses. Well lit shop. Many straight edges and fixtures to hold your shit and common sense will make you go far

[@Tattoodtoolow]

Oo yea. Listen to the ole timers. Never know when nonsense stories will make sense to you but you will be thankful you listened

[@mikerobi6100]

awesome video i building my dollies now as we speak old steel beam too

[@Jose-vj7fe]

👌 excelente trabajo

[@robbarclay9941]

Great yideo.

[@davidmcleod9892]

Thanks to Tim for the excellent compilations/editing cameramanship is brilliant. Cooperation is good. Wanting to show us the detail and not getting in the way. Brilliant little shorts build the excitement the for the finished masterpiece ie the F600. 👍👍

[@ClassicCarStudio]

Thanks David, Tim will appreciate this. He’s a really talented guy, and he works really hard to make these for you all.

[@jeffpitzer8521]

Homemade tools are the best!

[@wicked3556]

Question, when you make your own dollies. Do you oil quinch harden them or what do you use? Woukd love to see more content on your knowledge and techniques of this artform! ❤

[@ClassicCarStudio]

Non-metal guy here (but will confirm with Scott and Mark) - Probably not necessary if you're just using them with hand tools. I'm not even sure we've done that with stuff we use on the power hammer.

[@rafaelherrera8985]

Nice

[@Industrialseven2000]

Vise ✅ Shot Bag Train Track/O2 tank Stretcher/Shrinker Hammer dolly Looks like I need to buy some stuff.

[@santoscamacho3361]

I got mine on eBay..40 bucks..I guess I was blessed but eBay is a good start to find hard to find stuff

[@viclopez3365]

Please give me some dimensions on the car building platform the F100 is sitting on. I need to build one

[@arizonanorte3180]

💪🏼😎

[@BLING_97]

🔥🔥

[@ajgavin4141]

I really miss forming metal panels.. unfortunately my wrist can do it anymore after years of swinging a hammer and dolly

[@ClassicCarStudio]

Sorry to hear that. Gentle on the joints it is not.

[@ajgavin4141]

Do you guys do tours of the shop?

[@ClassicCarStudio]

Not officially, but if you’re in town on a Friday drop by. I’ll show you around.

[@ajgavin4141]

@@ClassicCarStudio awesome. thanks man Id really like to see your shop.

[@mikedavisonspeedshop8522]

damn, love this vid i am a rookie but learning as i build my 67 nova and documenting it on my channel Mike Davison Speedshop UTUBE. I have a couple of your top 5 but love and will implement a few of these. Thanks!

[@ClassicCarStudio]

Sweet Nova! Get after it!

[@jerryhuff86]

English wheel? I thought that, for sure, would make the list.

[@raviscott4853]

The biggest fabricating tool I ever saw was Duane Mayer from American Hot Rod...

[@298CRE8]

A useful cheap assistant 🎉😂

[@thekrakensf7077]

Is my dad right over here? Would you be my dad?

[@xmo552]

You’re never too old. 👍
