Welcome to my hot rod shop after 51 years I have officially downsized to a one-man show. In my videos, you will find both entertainment and how-to videos. I will be sharing my knowledge in how-to videos and also have videos comparing cheap parts to more expensive parts.

Great tip
Love the dry hops, you just don't see that anymore.
The 68 -70 AMX was a big part of my life and for anyone who hasn't had a chance to drive or ride in the short wheelbase 2 seater AMX .you don't know what you don't know. These cars are a blast to drive. Imagine a all carbon 70 AMX with a Roadster shop chassis integrated into the AMC unibody. Billet trim work,3D printed parts,etc.. The choices are endless, we just have to build them.
I have a similar problem with my ford fiesta 1.6 starts normal when its cold but won't start when engine warms up .starter won't spin.
I like it.
Great to know
Great tip that I will be using.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow great find
thanks
Great tip now I am going to have to see what products can use this WD40 straw.
You should let us know what you find.
Thank You !
You bet!
Besides the Watts linkage, Bud Moore Boss 302s had "skinny leaf springs" = 1-1/4" wide custom leaves with spherical bearings in the eyes instead of pins and bushings...no twist - clever!
THIS WAS A MODEL I MADE WHEN A KID *
I built one as well. I think it was an MPC kit.
MY era, I'm 79
Awesome
Mickey Thompson’s 69 Mustang looks like a real car, door handles, tail lights, chrome trim, I love it! The bodies very quickly began to morph, stretched wheel base and huge rear wheel openings, but at least you could still figure out what they were supposed to be. The last time I saw Funny Cars, they’d turned into something completely different, but they’re still running the Chrysler based Hemi.
You helped me out a lot I have trying to bleed my brakes for a week with no luck. I bought this tool and 20 minutes later I had a perfect brake pedal.
Glad it helped
Hello, I watched every video of your KZread channel very carefully, very good. But your channel views are low. Because the channel's videos are not reaching people, views are not increasing and keywords are not being rehashed. As a result the views are very less. If you want I can see your problems for free
Always great to go back and look at the legends!
Saved me thirty minutes finding the right sockets!
The absolute best time in drag racing 💯
Those wheelstander cars are very nice!
They are!
Love the dry hops back then. Cars and crew were so cool. Friends and me built model kits of these. It’s what got us into wrenching.
What's the difference between 552 and 224 units
The 224 is used for a turn-signal flashers with 2 bulbs 1 in front one in rear. The 552 is for the emergency flashers to flash all four bulbs. The 224 can be replaced with the 552 especially for when pulling a trailer with lights.
Sounds like it runs great. I sure wish I could afford one to bring back some of those childhood memories. Thanks for sharing.
Any time!
What do you recommend for a basic 1960s dodge? No need for power windows etc
This is my go to kit because the wires are longer than most kits and the wires all are printed what circuit they are for. www.amazon.com/dp/B09P6BH4H3/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B09P6BH4H3&s=automotive&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw
@@daleshotrodshop it's China tho
@@coyoteserranoband I agree but I have found most of the wiring is China. I used Belden wire up until it went to overseas. You can use Haywire I have used theirs for 300 bucks they claim USA wire it looks and feels like China. I try to keep everything USA but it is nearly impossible I closed shop in after 53 years in the business because of constant junk requiring replacement over and over.
Thanks from Ireland for the vid, well explained 👍
Glad it helped
This is one of the nicest Silver Tag Z50s I have ever seen. Great job looks perfect and sounds great.
Glad you like it!
Love to have one again..
It is on Bring A Trailer up for auction this week.
I got a new red K0 in 1971. I’ve got 5 of them now, along with a boat load of NOS parts. The wife is not impressed, but a year from retirement, I’m gonna have some fun with them. Actually, I’ve got a red one that’s all original. It was adult owned (a Shriner rode it in parades) and is almost showroom new.
Fantastic! Right out of my era. I was at some of those events and raced at Indy in 74 and 75!
Seller covered scam drop shipping by providing ebay with the letter tracking to prevent higher fees. Ebay charges sellers more in fees if they don't provide and ship within one business day after being paid. Seller is a scammer and got caught. Hilarious.
Drop shipping is against ebay policy without making it known prior to the sale that this is what ebay calls a "Presale" item. Look it up. It's in their rules. Many break the rule and sometimes get caught short like in this situationl. And ebay requires sellers to provide tracking for any item you sell and they gig you financially if you don't ship within one business day. Use of phony tracking is a way around that for dishonest sellers who drop ship without mentioning it in their ad. No, this buyer got scammed and ebay agrees. The people at ebay have seen all the scams and have policies in place to protect buyers. That's what happened here. The seller was scamming ebay and the buyer by drop shipping and tried to cover it with the card mailing tracking and got caught big time. His seller fees will increase with this incident. He'lll pay over and over. And it's his responsibility to pay the buyer for return shipping. Those are the rules. Sellers beware, this can happen to you too.
I see no scam here. Unless he tries the bad cashiers check thing (which according you he has not as of yet) then it all seems like a big mistake, mostly on your end for jumping early to the conclusion that you were being scammed.
He had no intention of sending the jack the deal with the thank you card with the tracking number for was the jack. EBay agrees with me that he was indeed a scammer. He didn't send a jack until a week after I reported to eBay. He was not expecting eBay to end his scam short and refund me the money so quickly. I gave the guy 3 months to send shipping labels or have them picked up, and he ended the communications, not me.
You confused yourself, and the buyer. I'm sorry, but you have a bad understanding of what truly happened here. Guy lost a ton of money.
I was not confused it was the scammer who got his lie all twisted up and eBay cut his scam shorter than he expected that is what got him confused. I gave him 3 months to send a shipper or shipping labels he ended the communications with me. I have been selling on eBay since 1998 and they never questioned me when I reported this. Who sends a thank you card with a tracking number posted to the item on eBay to show proof of delivery? A scammer that is who.
@@daleshotrodshop hopeless
I'm not positice he was trying to scam you. He "drop ships", and probably always sends a thank you card as well; I've had other broken English sellers send me long thank you notes asking for positive feedback, hope you are in well standing, I wish you good life, etc etc. Because he drop ships, the jack was delayed, he then sent you another jack, but the warehouse had already shipped the first one, albeit late. I think the guy just doesn't keep up with his paperwork and he made a mess of this. People don't make allot on Ebay, especially with new items that people can shop around for. So, it's gonna take him a long time to recoup all those loses but it's ultimately his own fault...
You are the wrong one , He sent a Thank You that arrived before Jack. You are the Scammer !!!
He had no intention of shipping a jack. The first jack that arrived was ordered after I filed the scam with eBay and showed up a week after I got my refund which is what I used to buy the same jack from Amazon.. The second jack showed 5 days after that. EBay instantly saw the scam with the tracking number of the thank you card and the post that the jack had been delivered. EBay had no wait period they refunded the money within two days. The scammer never made any attempt to have jacks shipped back except to tell me to just ship them back. I held onto them boxed and ready to ship for 3 months he ended the communication with he was sending labels which never happened. I sent one more email but he never responded.
Sounds like this ebay seller guy is just stupid. I've had a couple of these guys just not send anything, ebay is full of these sellers now. Sometimes they are okay.
Seems to me he tried to make things right and you are the scammer.
Who sends a thank you card with a tracking number posted to the item on eBay to show proof of delivery? A scammer that is who.
@@daleshotrodshop You don't think it's possible to mix up the two deliveries?
@@stuwest3653 No not at all. There was a time years ago when I sent out thank you cards to increase my feedback numbers. I put a card in a printed envelope, slapped a stamp on it , and sent it out. There is no way I would have spent money on postage to track my card being delivered. He added that tracking number so he could show proof of delivery, the thing that made eBay skip protocol and instantly give me my refund was the delivery in the mailbox from USPS.
@@daleshotrodshop clueless
The guy is a drop shipper which is risky . They don't have the item in stock and if somebody orders the item from them , they quickly purchase one from Amazon and send it to your address . Returns are especially difficult for people who do this . I had this happen to me as well with a different item , the seller sent me one that was different than what was in the ebay auction and it arrived in an Amazon package . I told him that it was different and less desirable and he complained a lot then he emailed me a QR code and told me to print out that return label and ship it back . Problem was that the QR code wasn't from ebay , it was from Amazon to go back to their return center in Vegas . I told the guy that I can't can't return it to Amazon for you , by ebay's rules I can only send it back to whatever address you have listed in your account or I lose my buyer's protection and you can just say that I never returned it to you get refunded by Amazon and then keep my money too .
The card that you received with tracking on it was definitely sketchy though , I think that would be against ebays policies at the very least . Most dropshippers will give you their Amazon tracking number so that it is actually tracking the product .
Good thing you knew the rules or he'd have said "I didn't get the item back, do you have tracking??". Drop shipping can be a disaster, the seller involved in this video isn't good with paperwork and sent another one after the first one was on the way. His loss, but I'm not convinced he was actually trying to scam this guy; he lost allot of money on this.
@@dc6233 I agree , I don't think the seller was trying to scam him either . The mistake he made was putting tracking on something other than the actual jack , that would've put me on edge for sure . Mainly because as soon as the tracking says the item has been delivered , the clock starts ticking . You have like thirty days to resolve any problems from that time so if it shows up a week after it says that it was delivered , you're down to only three weeks right off the bat .
EBay was very quick with my refund they saw straight through it. I gave the guy every opportunity to send a shipper to pick them up. He never sent shipping labels as he said he would. He cut all communications with me.
@@daleshotrodshop That seller had a lot of money invested in his mistake . He basically bought two jacks and was looking at paying return shipping from you on both . He put himself in a bad situation and only has himself to blame . You did the smart thing , you could've very easily gotten caught up in the mess deeper and been out your own money . If sellers just followed the rules , none of this would ever happen .
Keep the Jacks and send him his thank you card back see how he likes it
Oh, love that idea, lol.
I own a1969 Mach 1 and a 1965 gt fastback still
Good job, time and patience pays off. Probably beyond economical repair to commercial shops but if you have the time for free and the skill then most body panels can be fixed. What would 12 hours be worth in the states to a bodyshop ~$500 plus.
You are correct about the labor amount in most instances. These 70 AMX hoods are going for nearly 3 grand so it made sense to spend the time. I own a hot rod shop and charge 95.00 an hour. I am down to 2 full-time customers plus my own builds. I have owned the 70 AMX since my senior year of high school in 1976.
@@daleshotrodshop3 grand! well worth fixing in almost any condition.
Chrysler firepower was in many dragsters
I had a couple of those and an XL75, XR75 and an XR80. That was before i discovered the wicked wrath of a CR125R! I bought it a few years after i left school. I left in 92, and that was the year bike i had then. But i didnt get it until i was 20. My folks would of had a sh*t fit if I'd of bought it before then lol. But yeah tve SL70's were fun little bikes! A lot of us in my neighborhood had those little bikes. Even the adults had them because they were that much fun to ride. Hard to find these days and had to get parts for if you do come across any. A bike i just sold last year i was trying to restore. It was a '78 Yamaha XT500 but a 4 stroke. I'd of kept it if it was a 2 stroke. But finding parts for it was crazy!! I had to order from over seas which cost 10 times more and took a whole month or 2 before receiving your parts. I bought it for $500, took it all apart and only finished the frame portion. And bought some parts in between the process. I had $4000 invested. Didnt have a title because that was also another issue. So i sold it. The guy that bought it ripped me a new ass. He said he wanted all the original XT parts. I had new chrome coil over shocks and a new chrome swing arm that didn't go with the bike. I have $1200 invested in just those 2 items. That asshole gave me only $300. So i took a big loss on that bike. But its gone, im happy and i have plenty of bikes to ride as it is, but too many projects all at once i have lol. If you got em keep em. They are worth tons if you have a title. If not you won't get hardly anything for them
Man look at that awesome crowd!! I remember when all bleachers were fill. The bleachers were so full all the way up until the mid 2000s. Go to a track these days and its almost as if everyone gave up on racing and watching a good race. I know its expensive to race because im building a hot rod bike and Jr dragster for myself. Im building both for adult usage. A Jr dragster mini bike and im taking a John Deere riding mower and gonna transform it into a Jr dragster alter racer. So yeah its expensive!! But if you look at the bleachers now, all they are there for is to collect dust and get weathered on. Everyone seemed to of gotten out of racing and watching anymore. Or else these young kids wanna bring out their fart bomb cars that sound like someone with diarrhea.
One of the best step by step videos I've seen so far... this deserves a like and a handshake 🤝💯
Thank you I am glad the video helped you out. I plan on doing a video on cleaning the the intake valves soon.
Thanks so much for posting this Dale. What is the name of the movie? Do you have the complete movie on DVD for sale?
No movie I just compiled this from a bunch of short clips.
