Jim, honestly don't cut your videos short becuase a few think they are long. I Like your content like it is. Cheers from Montreal

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Noted! Thanks very much Michael!

[@davidpinnix7446]

Those swivels come in handy. Truck looks so much better!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks very much David!

[@mlieser1230]

Those springs went in nice and easy. Excellent job on fabricating those patches for the crossmember.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks very much! I was surprised how easy they went in. :)

[@gasworxgarage6554]

From one farther to another have a great day 👍🏻

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

You too! Happy fathers Day!

[@davidfields2930]

Project truck is looking good.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks David!

Jimmy I ordered all my patch panels for my 64' C10 from Classic Truck Parts and Top Banana. Love your C10. It appears you are still running the gas tank behind the seat. 😁

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, I think I'm leaving it behind the seat. Previous owner had it gone thru, allegedly. When I try and fix the gas gauge I may change my mind. After a look in the tank. lol

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Love the project truck!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you Scott!!! After some love it will be a ton of fun! Meanwhile, it will make lots of content!!! :)

[@johnsteger]

Already Sunday 💪

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yup, back to my real job in the morning! :)

[@philh9238]

Clear coat it. Looks sweet the patina look

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Phil, that's my jam at this point, as the kids say....I think. :)

Great Video

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks for the visit!

Big fitzee fan here also mate! ive never welded at all before but i picked up a cheap flux core mig and have successfully patched 16g panels on my 4wd on my first attempt, no blow through! His a legend! i think your a legend too - your pragmatism is a breath of fresh of air, most mechanics dont understand the balance between costs and doing it right. i feel like there is a middle ground, and you have a handle on that. i was curious though why you went for those panel gapper clips / hydraulic lipper vs doing the good ole cut and but? ps. im a software engineer, not in the industry at all! Im curious about taking anything apart and putting it back together, not just code. im here to be mentored! You have a MORE diverse audience then you think :)

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you very much for the kind words! Fitzee is the best I've seen at rust repair...I've learned a lot from him! As far as the butt clamps, I am doing several panels that are all twisted and laying the repair panels over them to cut them seems like it might be very difficult. So I mostly bought these in case I need them. We will see. :)

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again Jimmy Thank you for another Great Video. Question for you, reinstalling the missing cross member plates. Won't they eventually cracked under stress? I am not Structure Mechanic or Fabrication Mechanic. On the other hand, those springs went in easier than I thought they would. I agree with you about height being better!!!! Again thank you

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

These frames are over engineered and really strong, but if anything leaving it the way it was might allow stress cracks if it was still be used and abused as a truck. Now that it's mostly a cruiser, or will be, no real problem other than bothering me being cut up. :)

[@blackenigma1054]

Talking about parts, Rock auto has gotten outrageously high on their shipping. I could’ve sworn it was free or something like that before😳

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, shipping has gotten WAY more expensive everywhere. Fuel prices are a huge factor I think.

[@CountryMileGarage]

Awesome Jimmy 🤙🤙🤙 #truckclub

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Theo! Projects always get worse before they get better....Feels a little like going backwards lately, but it will come together quick once the body repairs are done. :) #truckclub

[@CountryMileGarage]

@@JimmyMakingitwork for sure Jimmy every hour worked on it is one hour closer to being done

[@guyconnell2250]

Jimmy I waited months for some of the patch panels and whole panels for the '79 C10 I'm restoring. No rhyme or reason to it. And shipping. Yeah, shipping. In the interim, over the last several months while waiting for ordered parts to be in stock, shipping went up 100% :(

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, shipping is going crazy along with so many other things. My roof panel was $380 and the freight is $388. Or it was when I ordered it 3 weeks ago. :/

[@That_Dyna_Guy]

Your wire speed is too low Jimmy I think that steel would have bent easier in a Chinese Vise. It was refreshing to see you using the best, Wilton USA Bullet

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I think I move the tip so slow that it builds up on me, so I always use a slower wire feed. Seems like this machine feeds fast or I’m moving too slow to me anyway.

[@philh9238]

This your personal project?? Just seen the truck today

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, bought a few weeks ago running and driving, but it need of some serious love. Bringing it back from the brink.

[@caseypowell9030]

Hey Jimmy I know what you mean I've been waiting on a 1971 charger 426 hood cable for 3 weeks now from year one what gives with all this stuff? Bs I think

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, crazy that so many supply chain issues are happening in every category. Even with things supposedly American made. smh

[@neng631]

Jimmy? How can I get a shirt like that? I’m 2XL. Let me know thanks

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Hello Neng! You can email me at; [e-mail] and I'll get you more info. The Super Clean shirt I got from my dealer. But I sell Gravity Check, Keep Rowing and Making It Work shirt. Send me an email for more info. :)

[@jacquelinechellis4036]

Very un impressive weld on that rear axle lol thanks

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

No problem 👍 Thanks for watching.
