RAC Garage is one of the best street rod fabrication sites I've run across. Keep doing the same thing we all enjoy the usable content and tips you are providing. Thanks again and keep it up!!

When you started breaking down that wishbone to clean it gave me Vietnam flashbacks lol reminded me of getting up early on weekends and instead of cartoons my step dad would hand me a strong brush, bucket of wd40/water mix and place me before anything that's rusted.

[@RACGARAGE]

sounds better than cartoons to me!

I have a lot of respect for you because you’re young and you have chosen to work on “old school” hot rods!!!! Most young men today, fail to take interest in the old iron still out there. I believe you will understand when I say……”It’s a dying art, so thanks for carrying on the “torch”!!!!!

[@RACGARAGE]

Thank you and the torch will be lit until they pry it from my cold dead hands

[@MIKEH.777]

Another great video, keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family.

[@MF-rn5os]

That is going to be one sweet hot rod.

[@jessetroiano6862]

I look forward to new videos from you! Thanks.

[@paulbadeau1855]

I knew it was a clean car but that front end was like new . You do a great job in all your presentations. Love watching them !

[@RACGARAGE]

Thanks Paul! Can’t wait to chop your top!

[@floridian7143]

[@MIKEH.777]

[@garykent5545]

[@frao4160]

Really enjoying channel! I'm not really a hot rod guy, but I like to see quality work of any kind happening in a backyard garage. Keep at it!

[@RACGARAGE]

thanks that means alot that im reaching more than just hot rod guys! maybe i am doing a good job haha

[@bobhalstead9257]

Great work on chop.i am working on a 31 5 window myself.after watching your chop ive decided to go with a 4 inch chop also .I'm keeping fenders on mine.need to locate fender braces and 1 running board splash apron.i also need driver side 1/4 window surround and garnish moulding.also rear window surround and garnish moulding.some rocket scientist cut mine out with an axe.cant fix stupid. Mine will be a flathead V8 .I like the quality of the kit u used .I will use the same.good price and great quality. The rear frame rails look great.ive been collecting the parts for 7 years I now have 95% of parts and motor rebuilt now.you are a great inspiration to me.god bless.

[@RACGARAGE]

I’m glad I can help with motivation! 7 years is a long time! Go man go! Time to work! Haha have fun man, that’s what it’s all about

[@tedcorey3054]

Really came out nice ,good work .

[@johnkelly6942]

This is a nice car. You did a crack jack job on the fab work!

[@RACGARAGE]

thanks john!

[@phcoffeedrinker]

Just picked up a front end for a future project thanks for showing a little bit of front end stuff.

[@RACGARAGE]

What’d you get? Model a front end?

[@timmaccowan]

Nicw work . nice to see all the different parts to work on. Not everything is fun.

[@mtpocketbuilds4286]

Should be a pretty slick ride.

[@bajalarry8738]

Clean!!!😎

[@RACGARAGE]

Thanks, I think it looks good

[@robertpeeler4359]

Great work Travis and a nice clean car for you to do your magic on

[@MIKEH.777]

👍👍

[@xunchicrewx]

Yes on the 4.5” chop! Yes on the dropping the front axle and drop those Navarro heads at my front door! kthxbye

[@kurtludwig4783]

Sweet heads!!

[@RACGARAGE]

yeah sure thing Jeremy!

[@1936fordcrazy]

Great work, definitely do 4 inches on your chop can't wait to see you get back to yours

[@RACGARAGE]

I need to so bad!

[@johnmahoney2178]

Dam that’s one of the cleanest old Fords I have ever seen going be bad ass rides 👍

[@willsee1822]

Oh yeah reverse that front main spring and pull out 3 leaves. Auto 2 inch drop. Just did it on my A yesterday. And 4 inch chop looks the best. In my humble opinion.

[@RACGARAGE]

I agree with everything you said 100%

[@jennifer.juniper4845]

Tremendous progress, like the fact you concentrate on the work and get so much done. Keep it up

[@RACGARAGE]

Thanks! I try to get a lot done! But with work and baby it gets to be a lot so I do what I can.

[@Ecosse57]

@@RACGARAGE best wishes for your channel... and family!

[@edwardjustiniano8109]

Wicked nice job

[@jeandelmond8654]

Dropped axle please!good work!🤘

[@RACGARAGE]

Yeah he needs to drop it bad!

[@davemoulding8799]

Made sure you chop that shoe box and put a Tbird interior in it

[@kurtludwig4783]

Looks like the spring perches are new. Maybe the previous owner started changing stuff to just get it road worthy ?

[@RACGARAGE]

the deeper i got the more i was thinking the same thing. everything had to have been replaced at some point. good for me!

[@al1410]

4 1/2-5 would look pretty mean

[@giantrobot67]

I'm building my first traditional rod now and learning a lot from your channel, I've obviously read it wrong somewhere but I thought you had to split the wishbone if your putting a flathead in ? Apologies if that's a stupid question, but I've never done anything like this before, love the channel.

[@RACGARAGE]

I’ve split bones before it’s pretty easy. I’ll make a video next time I do it. Thanks for watching the channel man it means a lot

[@WILLS55F100]

I say go 5inchs … 🤙🏻

[@MIKEH.777]

5 would be to much I think. 👍🙏

[@fueladdictiongarage7048]

👍🏻

[@davemoulding8799]

Don’t chop to low a neck breaker to drive

[@russellnewman773]

How do you like the Alpha Tig machine? Any issues? I was going to start looking for a Tig but didn’t want to refinance my house .. lol.

[@RACGARAGE]

I love it, no complaints at all

[@davemoulding8799]

I like your work but disagree on procedures , like sant blasting it first and using weld thru primer which prevents rust on hidden area’s

[@RACGARAGE]

Thanks for the tip

[@johnjason7204]

What supports the body from the rear axle rearward?

[@RACGARAGE]

Model a chassis ended at the rear crossmember anyway so stock there was. I thing supporting it. I think he’s going to put another wood block right before the kick up. There’s a cross piece on the subrails that doesn’t normally have a body mount. We could put one there.

[@alexanderreimer387]

Why dont you sand blast to remove rust…???

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?

Travis great job,,,, but safety Sally’s out of the closet,,,,You depends a lot on the chain and that overhead you ever pull a body up like that between the body in a frame throw a couple blocks of wood on the frame.... just in case and chain let’s go...I know it’s lam,, but if the car come’s down and break a finger breaking arm...... You’ll suffer every bad weather day with your break been there done,,,,,,,, that it ..... just don’t wanna see you get hurt....
