This man's fabrication skills is as good as I've ever seen. Any top car customising car company would be privileged to have him work for them. What a awesome job. Looks great.

Excellent episode. Those fenders and hood came out way better than I thought they would. Still very proportional. Nice work 👍

Fine bit of fabricating. Proportioned up great. Shame to see the 37 gone to the crusher.. check out cold war motors. He just fixed up a 37 Chevy flat head. I had a flat head straight 8 in my 51 Pontiac. Smooth engine. Good luck.

I'm a sucker for flatheads. They just seem to run forever. Maybe it's the low compression

I think that looks great and is going to look even better with the big box on the back because it's going to really compliment the snubnose.

I think a oldish fire engine with a container on the back would bring in the customers. I converted a winabago Brave into a snowball outfit. Painted it all in Mardi gras colours we could carry 60 10lbs blocks of ice.. believe me when you shaved up 60 blocks in one day you a happy man to see them gone. Lol. But good fun doing the festivals in the south.. you got to build a fire engine one. Big red container. Lol. The Hot one 🔥

You're doing a good job at combining the two vehicles. I'm just wondering why didnt you just build a custom frame for the old for truck or maybe modify the truck's current frame so you could have transferred the mechanical parts from the donor vehicle to the new or rebuilt frame / chassis.

Hey Austin, I have a dilemma perhaps you can help me with. I have a Ford E350 box truck. I assume it's a van that had a box professionally put on it. The issue is I need a gas tank. But a replacement one is over $1,000. I can't find one locally but even if I did it probably suffer the same rust situation. Even a used one from an area that doesn't get salt on the roads is very costly plus shipping. Do you have any thoughts on how I can find another tank that I can retrofit? The tank is the one that is behind the axle. There's plenty of room there and I can cut the box and floor to accommodate a different tank. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated. Thank you.

No critism here but, your overlaped 5inch strip, shouldnt be protected, i see so many youtubers welding stuff without putting any weld trought primer or some sort. Btw i love your stuff , im just asking..
@AustinCoulson
@AustinCoulson Жыл бұрын
In the last episode I used weld through primer on the inner A pillars because it was a larger area. I don't use WTP on a small piece like this because it only has a 1/2" overlap and the WTP seems to burn farther than that while welding making it kinda useless. That's just my opinion though, I know guys who like it and guys who hate it.
@melloyello89
@melloyello89 Жыл бұрын
​@@AustinCoulson I'm not sure if you ever tried it but a bunch of the off-road channels I watch like to use a weldable brand of paint/primer called Steel-it that may be a little better for those purposes.
@AustinCoulson
@AustinCoulson Жыл бұрын
@@melloyello89 I've used it. I did some tests a while back where I welded with it, then pulled the welds apart to see how far the weld burns the paint and decided it's not worth the high costs for most applications. Eastwood makes a paint that has this cool tip for spraying the inside of frame rails that I prefer to use after the fact in most circumstances where weld through primer would be recommended. In this fenders case I have good access to the backside where I will primer and paint it
