Week In The Life At RAC Garage 1936 Roadster and 1929 RPU
Since last weekend was so busy I missed the upload, I just put it all into one video. I hope its not too long. enjoy!

[@danpickett9103]

I've heard the stand under lights called a "plinth". That's what they call the stands under statues. Great video. I love your progress. Anyone who can modify or repair top irons is probably good at chess too. Both take a lot of thought.

[@lawrenceessard4086]

Wife and I were at the drags Saturday wanted to meet you all but may be next time 😊😊😊😊

[@richardwyatt8979]

You'll find that most if not all pre-war and early post-war bumpers are made of high carbon spring steel. This was so that the didn't dent or bend when bumpers met. You're right to heat it, but next time getting a Harbor Freight fiberglass welding blanket to wrap it in while it cools down. Really helps to control heat. Fiberglass insulation also works.

[@VwRosstorations]

Coming together really well 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@JulianFoley]

Love the mix of jobs. Admiire your determination to get to and deal with each of them. The truck is fabulous (not to mention basic).

[@RACGARAGE]

yeah the pickup is something special for sure.

[@1936fordcrazy]

Beautiful work as always, I was missing my rac update so glad to see the video

[@francisrizzo1529]

Dang, those chopped stanchions are almost as impressive as that Sam Elliott style 'stache. NICE-NICE! Cool info on the high carbon steel bumper,

[@RACGARAGE]

thanks brother!

[@johnkranz4004]

Great job Travis Glad you got a good Heiper The 36 is coming along nicely Great job on the rear bumper Truck is looking very good

[@RACGARAGE]

Thanks 👍

[@Downstairsish]

You have a good lad working for you there.. When I had my classic car restoration business here in the UK, I often had school leavers work for me.. I could tell half way through the first day if they were going to cut the mustard... Not many did.. I'm about to retire and emigrate to Spain and take my 1941 Cadillac Coupe Custom with me so I can finish it off.. Great update.. Love your attention to detail.. That's what its about.

[@waynespyker5731]

Saw the same happen: Our heat treater seasoned a broken 420 stainless steel plastic mold component much like a 6 inch C clamp frame over the flame from his oven. Clamping the Vee cracked segment in place he welded the repair. A perfect stack of dimesl As it cooled a crack developed from the weld start following to the finish. He used stainless filler but the thin web broke away from the thicker frame. I had my fingers crossed on your weld. The taillights look factory!

[@artiestaub2401]

Had 2 find time 4 this 1. Tell the kid grinding stone faces up ,or he will find out what happens the hard way, when it blows up and gets hurt. All Looks good. Little man's funny, best time when there Little. Trav mount hinges on deck lid first, put paint sticks 4 gaps then u have perfect bracket spot. Good luck

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

I hope this guy sticks with you. You can tell it helps you and it seems he enjoys it.

[@RACGARAGE]

i think he will

[@1fknhpycmpr355]

Wow, a long video, but really worth to watch! Keep up the good work!

[@RACGARAGE]

Thanks for hanging in there!

[@barryakers9085]

Your doing a hell of awesome job on the 36

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Beautiful work

[@1936fordcrazy]

Man mother load of the coolest parts ! Super jelly man

[@RACGARAGE]

thanks dude! yeah some good parts that week!

[@MF-rn5os]

great video. The 36 is going to look great in paint. The RPU is going to be a great parts hauler.

[@PepeofCalif]

ps. The A truck with the fenders is the only way to go...not easy to find I'm sure... All the rest without just look like cobbled together Rat Rods. and there's more than enough of THOSE to go around - the full fenders make it a much nicer finished Shop Truck...looks Cool !

[@RACGARAGE]

i agree RPU's need fenders

[@dennissheridan1550]

Me thinks you need one of those "heat wrap blankets", they are handy to have around when you to slow the cooling of a weld no matter what the material. The "36" is looking sweet. 👍 ✌ PS Get in touch with Matt or Mike at Iron Trap Garage they have a pot load of Ford stuff.

[@jeffreyteachout1139]

Best video yet, cant wait to see your upcoming projects. Keep up the excellent work

[@RACGARAGE]

thanks Jeff!

[@keithballinger5081]

Great content, amazing work

[@mrnobody6573]

The rear bumper from the speed shop is for sedan delivery only.(rare & hard to find). A woody uses the standard 35-36 bumper with the dip in the center.

[@RACGARAGE]

ah ok yes i knew it was rare, i had to pick it up

[@kurtludwig6962]

Very nice tail lights customizing and windshield posts

[@WaxMeister]

Great video but, gonna have to break it down into 3 sessions. I love watching your mastery! Cheers - still need the rear window inner panel for my '35.

[@tkirkwood3366]

Thanks for the great video!!!

[@midgetrace]

Because bumpers and bumper brackets are made of spring steel ,it is better to bend and reshape the pieces and cut off the excess . Welding is seldom completely successful. when finished they still tend to brake '

[@Titsmorone]

its gonna be one sweet ride 🏁✌

[@RACGARAGE]

both of them will be, but yes the 36 is going to be killer

[@robertpeeler4359]

Nice job and great work

[@erniehoffer1784]

Try Iron Trap garage for parts. The superchargers were made for the 1937 Ford trucks. For more power.

[@jasonnickel384]

Nice chop job on your skull... worried you got bitten by a werewolf or something.

[@PepeofCalif]

Beautiful work on the '36..assume it's a customer's car. Think I would've opted for a bit less severe chop on the windshield - but hey- that's just one guy's opinion

[@clintonstevens1285]

great work

[@rickeagle]

Great work!

[@tradrodsandcustoms]

You should get a torch...i made due for years without one. Now that i have one idk how i ever got anything done without it. Dropping steering arms, all kinds of stuff, only paid 150 for a used cart, bottles and torches

[@RACGARAGE]

yeah i have one and just started using it. life changer for sure

[@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms]

Great job on the roadster. I see he sold the 3 window to Wayne. Any way to find the exact color green on the 36 3 window? He had told me Jeep green.??? I’ve got a set of wheels I would love to paint that color. Thanks

[@RACGARAGE]

ill see what i can do but if thats all he told you im sure ill get the same answer lol

[@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms]

@@RACGARAGE thanks buddy.

[@donrippy-ee5ek]

Have you explored building bumper covers? As many modifications as you've made on that car bumper covers would be really nice over the top of the bracing.

[@RACGARAGE]

i thought about that but i dont think itll fit the bill. once these are chromed theyll look great

[@donrippy-ee5ek]

@@RACGARAGE Good content keep up the good work.

[@mikedenson9063]

I yelled " look out " when the dash fell

[@RACGARAGE]

haha yeah i should have seen that coming!

[@gmansecond4103]

You guys make a good working team so far.

[@RACGARAGE]

thanks! hoping he can start fabricating soon.

[@jakotako2249]

🤩

[@62_C10]

bumper good...

[@erniehoffer1784]

McCulloch blower. Cool.

[@RACGARAGE]

so cool! i am grateful to be its new caretaker

[@bobhalstead1879]

The best thing is to have chrome and copper plating chemicalljy removed so no contamination takes place

[@tedcorey3054]

Tail light standoffs ? They look good . I like the pick up ,duh .

[@edwardsterritt4598]

Jake needs safety glasses

[@fueladdictiongarage7048]

👍🏻🍺

[@donames6941]

Could use sand to slow down the cooling

[@nissmoguy]

talk to matt over at iron trap garage they know all about the vintage superchargers and can supply parts

[@RACGARAGE]

yeah i talked to him and hes got nothing hes willing to get rid of.

[@midgetrace]

The carriage bolts are there because welding on spring steel it taboo.

[@RACGARAGE]

well yeah haha but were "custom"! haha

[@midgetrace]

Can't be 100% sure but it appears the front brakes have the longer shoe on the front side instead of the rear.

[@RACGARAGE]

might just be the fish eye lens playing tricks

[@randyellis3116]

Look at Iron Trap Garage for that muculoch part you need. They have everything . They are on you tube under iron trap garage and are based out of pennsylvania.

[@RACGARAGE]

yeah, I asked Matt, he dosnt have any spare parts for these hes willing to get rid of

[@randyellis3116]

@@RACGARAGE another guy is (mustie1). he has a lot of parts for old stuff. also on youtube. good luck.

[@stephenfinch2445]

Do you still have the model A coupe?

[@steeltree-fabricatingandcu3796]

Try welding high carbon steel with 304 stainless filler

[@RACGARAGE]

Thanks for the tip ill try it next time

[@thomyafanaro4072]

I’m first
