I have an all original '80 Silverado Big 10 Stepside, black exterior, Mystic Custom interior. Forth owner, 2nd in family, loaded with power DL, windows, CC, A/C, top of the line luxury for a truck at that time. 350 combo, true duels, no AIR, I love it.

[@highlifeman1977]

First of all, with all that is going on in the world it was so wonderful to have half an hour of "normal". There are many heroes working on the front lines, but there are also heroes that help keep us sane in an insane world, and you my friend are helping to keep the sanity. Second, how did you manage to get a vehicle with keys, brakes, functioning fuel system, starter, functioning cooling system and floors?!? I didn't think that was possible! Last, keep up the amazing work you do. There is always a cold snack in the refrigerator with your name on it!

[@ViceGripGarage]

Youve got some great points here!!

[@greggc8088]

Great idea on covering the tires for wheel painting. I usually remove the tire completely, but not any more. Thanks.

That tire masking trick is something my dad’s done for years. Epic.

Thanks!

[@cOpEnBaCoN]

Vice Grip Garage 👍, and when you said toe nail grinder I woke my wife up laughing. my freakin paps (tool and die maker, OG car guy) literally would grind his toenails down with a Dremel, and I’ve seen him use a little die grinder on em too. Not even playing. I love this damn channel 😂

I've watched many of these car type vid's and they can get a bit boring n repetative but I'm glad I found this. Started watching when the man rescued a rusty old dero Chavelle, got it running in a motel parking lot n drove it 600 miles home with a chassis held together with Duct tape and a floating front end, gotta say I was kinda impressed and subscribed to see more. Now the tips n tricks of a budget spruce up made me grin n taught me a trick or two, all good, I'm watching more. Cheers for that.

[@klwflorida5438]

Love the trash bags for wheel grinding. I made a brake bleeder from a plastic water jug and some air hose fittings. Put it online to show my friends and they thought for sure it was a bong! I also made a smoker machine from a paint can. I am sure you can do all that too but I am a retired 56 yo woman that used to sell real estate and have loved all my hot rods as a kid. I am still looking at the 69 Super Bee. Its orange and looks line Dukes of Hazzard ride. They guy wants 29 grand and it has that electronic dash like I saw you bought for that Chevell. That was holding me back but now I might just buy it if its still available. Thanks for all these demos. I love doing this stuff myself. I am contemplating painting my 95 Trans Am myself. Got all the equipment and more that I need. I love Harbor Freight too. U break it they just give u a new one. Home Depot is not that friendly!
