TWG Episode 7: Evicting the Critters from the Vents

[@mistersecret88]

Your that far along change the heater core.

[@andrewmonahan4503]

I’m 43 and I’m next door in Millbury. Love the father son working on the car. Keep it up

[@Jonathan_Taylor]

Fun to watch. Difficult part of the much needed cleaning process. Declan was 'hands on' here.., Bravo for doing what had to be done.

[@mbarry37]

I had a 1982 Camaro when I was in the Navy stationed in Southern California. Cracked dash pads were common on many makes and models back then. Replacement was expensive. A lot of us covered our dashes with a molded carpet cover. You can purchase them from cover craft. Many dealerships used to sell these as accessories at their parts counters.

[@markc2767]

Declan is definitely growing into this gig! It's ok to be clueless mate, that's why most of us watch channels like this! 😂 Looking forward to the next one, and to looking forward to Declan's confidence growing throughout this series.👍

[@resurrectionmotors2421]

Way to go Declan, definite progress being made. I was noticing that the support bracket for the dash was rusted probably from the mouse pee. You can hand brush on some P O R -15 , that will encapsulate the rust and kill it. If you look behind all the plastics in the rear compartments of the car. You're probably going to find more mouse nest. Awesome job keep it up. God bless

[@ryanmiller7588]

Consider using a combination of vinegar and baking soda to neutralize the mouse urine

[@finster7582]

Im 50 n I dont care bout schedules. U post - I watch !! glad hes workin on his own car. Instead of videos, get an owners manual n some Chilton (type) manuals ! keep up the good work ! 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Mltemple8333]

Mouspocalypse……. Mousemageddon……. I also want to hear a “Hold the d&^%a flashlight still!!!” at some point so I can remember my youth.

[@coreycarver9974]

One key thing to remember when working with nuts bolts and screws righty tighty lefty Loosey. Also one thing also one thing to remember is that some Hardware have reverse threads

[@MikeyMack303]

It is really great to see father and son get along so well and work together on a project like this! Keep throwing wrenches.

[@paper04man1]

Doing a good job guys

[@ronaldwarren5220]

I am along for the entire ride. Very interesting

[@David_Blong]

Good job Declan i wouldn't like cleaning the mouse shi# up but I would if I had that car in my garage

[@TMVGarage]

You guys get better at video making every time, I hope you are having fun with it and getting to make those core memories along the way. One thing I would suggest could improve, which is commonly over looked, is the audio quality. I see that you got some nice wireless mics, however the audio could use some editing as it sounds a bit too tinny and blown out. It would also be better of you put them in mono so we don't hear one of you in one ear and the other in the other ear especially for the headphone wearers. I know that all sounds very picky but I'm just try to give you some slight tweaks as audio affects a videos' quality much more than people realize. Either way I'm going to keep watching as long as you guys keep making videos, keep up the great work.

[@robsweekendgarage]

My dad used to be a GN service rep and got to pick his company cars. Used to have Monte SS’s and IROC-Z’s etc all the time. Was a blast as a kid. Love that you’re having your son help and learn along the way.

[@GenXVette]

While you have the instrument panel out, that is a good time to replace the existing instrument lights with LEDs. Also good opportunity to check your grounds and create redundant ground points.

[@mikeblaylock206]

Hey Declan, I also had a red IROC that had been parked for a while. Mine was a T-Top. Was driving home from church one night and turned the heat on. The car filled with smoke, thankfully I had some tools with me. There was a mouse nest it my heater fan box. Much better to find it now instead if on the highway.

[@pmichos1]

Had an IrocZ brand new in 87, still remember taking that dash off. When he was pulling it I was thinking there are screws in the top vent. Lol😂

[@paper04man1]

Thx guys

[@davidalex3756]

Declan good wear ppe personal protective equipment ALWAYS. safety gloves glasses mask you won't breathe rat droppings

[@jimmyholl9732]

You can order new - pads for them for pretty reasonable price that bolts right in

[@sergiovidal7533]

Nice guys, keep working because it give me strength to continue with mine hahahha. I have a 85 Z28 and I'm installing all the fuel system again. Oli would love to post videos of my work in the Camaro but I'm too lazy. Good look guys. Have you think in the future replace the injection system for EFI like aces??

[@carolshepherd8147]

Nice job Declan! Kind of a gross job 😂

[@GenXVette]

People who complain simply have nothing better to do with their life. IGNORE them. Keep up the good videos, I am waiting to get my 4 post lift installed so I can post videos about the work I am doing on my 72 and 03 Vettes. I need to replace a rear main seal and transmission pan in the 72 Vette. I will be doing some suspension work on both as well.

[@bosmerfromcanada3878]

You said all that needs saying mechanically. I agree. Nice to meet someone who is in the know.✔

[@finster7582]

​@@bosmerfromcanada3878Interested in ur 72 vette build aa i own a 77..post a link when u start if u can.

[@Carl_Jr]

Progress comes from complaints. If everyone was happy the world would become complacent and boring.

[@GenXVette]

Progress comes from solutions ​@@Carl_Jr

[@mattc6872]

Great job guys

[@tonycarrozza4873]

Unless you did off camera...If you can still get into the heater box, you may want to reach in either by hand or tool....and spin the blower fan. There may be more mouse house behind it!🤢

[@tonycarrozza4873]

Oh yea....keep up the good work! You're doing a great job!👍

[@bosmerfromcanada3878]

@GenXVette said all that needs saying mechanically. Cosmetically and hygienically, I would spray the entire interior with bleach...or with rubbing alcohol and use an ozone machine if you have one. Or you can rent an evaporating cooling fan from Home Depot Tool Rental which will work wonders with rubbing alcohol. I've never tested it with bleach. FYI, guys...Declan...YOU NEVER MIX bleach and rubbing alcohol together. EVER. It creates chloroform and it can either kill you or ruin such organs as the eyes, lungs, liver, brain.

[@ThrowingWrenchesGarage]

It’s actually ammonia and bleach that make chlorine gas but, in general, I think it’s a good practice to not mix bleach with anything but water!

[@finster7582]

​@@ThrowingWrenchesGarageDONT USE BLEACH !!!!! THE MOUSE URINE WILL ACT AS AMMONIA !!! ASK ME HOW I KNOW !! i have dogs n used to clean w bleach !! now i ONLY use Fabuloso !!!

[@larrygessner3155]

God Job! They make a dash cover that once you put it over the old one,you wont be able to tell the difference. Also while you have the dash off check those speakers . Now would be the time to replace them as well as anything in the cluster. I have an 86 sport coupe.

[@andrewforbes146]

waves hi its very hard to see when your inside the car maybe guys get some more light just an idea great video as always

[@andrewforbes146]

Quick question guys what dont you move car out side to give your self more room ?

[@paper04man1]

The lone wolf

[@paper04man1]

Nasty

[@mistersecret88]

People don't complain. Losers complain. No life people complain .IGNORE THEM.

[@30Mauser]

Weird, I think your stereo tracks are reversed. 😊

[@30Mauser]

Was just at the beginning… when you changed sides at the end your voices were on the correct sides. Great episode!

[@BlacKnightRising]

Ooof, that dash looks too far gone to be fixed needs to be replaced

[@toddprater14]

Iroc baby,are you keeping the engine tpi? I know your taking engine outta Chevelle for the ‘roc and putting a new engine in the Chevelle…hopefully you keep it tpi and not carb it out

[@ThrowingWrenchesGarage]

That's the plan!

[@paper04man1]

Lol

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

Did someone fart at 13:33?

[@ThrowingWrenchesGarage]

😂 I had to go back and listen again! It was Declan’s “‘mmhm” through his mask but it did throw me off

[@davidalex3756]

Declan good wear ppe personal protective equipment ALWAYS. safety gloves glasses mask you won't breathe rat droppings
