I'm a long time mechanic with a lot of experience working on classic cars and hot rods. Hope to get people excited about their cars, and getting them back on the road. I work on classic cars including Mustangs, Camaros, Chevelles, studebakers, and many more. I do detailed how to style videos showing ways to install sheet metal and make patch panels. I do custom paint, and body work. I can do just about anything when it comes to care.

eh you didnt drop the wrench
Sad news must’ve been hard for you, being so close. My sympathies.
What type bolt/screw did you use to connect the splash shields to the firewall?
They look like small lag bolts. They sell a lot.
I am going to my drum brakes on my 2007 Sienna, your video is a great resource, thanks!!!
Hello, I am working on my '69 Fastback and I am struggling with the frame rails. I found a drawing with a measurement of 59" from the center of the 1" hole toward the back of the floor support to the back edge of the elongated hole in the front bottom of the frame rail. I am using Dynacorn Full apron frame rales that already have the shock towers deleted. I have a Dynacorn full floor pan like you have there, and a new CJ classics firewall and Cowl. I cannot get the frame rail to go far enough into the floor supports to get that 59" measurement. How do you get that to go in so easy? What am I doing wrong? Is there a better measurement for installing these? Currently I only have the firewall and lower cowl clamped in place and not welded along the floor. I love your video's and have learned a ton from watching. Thanks in advance!
I measured and also got the 59”. If the frame rail is hitting the firewall, something may be off.
I just found this video. That’s my charger. Y’all did this for me, and I love you all like family. Your generosity and kindness along with everyone else involved changes my life. Love y’all again.
Great tutorial! It's been indispensable for replacing my drum brakes. The only real problem I faced (besides some unrelated hiccups like a wheel stud breaking off) is how hard two of the damn springs are to reinstall. They seem to require a hell of a lot of strength. I have a feeling it's due to my buying a 4" vise grip, which some ppl refer to as a mini vise grip, instead of a 6" one, which seems to be the standard size. The 4" one is just too small for my hands to get enough leverage on. I have a 6.5" one arriving tomorrow and hopefully I can it to finish up replacing one of the brakes. Almost done though and the second one should take much less time! Edit: The problem was that I mixed up the two smallest springs (adjusting lever and anchor springs). The anchor spring at the bottom that connects the front and rear shoe together is very strong compared to the one that's attached to the adjusting lever lmao. Once I swapped them, it was easy. My first drum brake replaced! Also, a 6" or 6.5" vise grip makes this job a lot easier compared to a 4".
I have a video on wheel stud replacement too.
@@JoDaddysGarage Very nice. I already removed it using a tie rod end remover tool I rented instead of using a hammer. This tool is so useful as a clamp I might just buy one outright lol. First drum brake replaced and I never imagined I'd be able to do something like this. Hopefully it works correctly since I made sure to install everything together perfectly. Much thanks!
I like how you can charge it thru a cigarette lighter...instead of a usb brick.that sprayer could put out a fire in a pinch...that alone is huge.
Now I know what to look for when I go to buy my dream car.
Name shaft
Good job sir. I’m gonna mine next week video is very helpful
Bro!!! I’m late to this but you have helped me a lot man!!! Big fucken thanks for the video
So were you ever able to finish the car?
I was not. The owner was unable to continue the project.
@JoDaddysGarage just out of curiosity, and feel free to decline to comment, but did the owner get the car back or do you still have it? Seems like it was a pretty big investment monetarily on his part and a huge investment in time and labor on yours. I'm definitely a fan and plan to check out some of your other projects but this one was really interesting as my dad has a 66 convertible that he is restoring. Been in the family over 50 years.
He did get it back. I lost money on the deal. Very disappointed. Losing that project had a very negative effect on me and my channel.
@JoDaddysGarage I hate to hear that but I can tell you that you've gained a fan based on what I have seen so far. Looking forward to some of your other series, particularly anything mustang related
I have several series. Jade is my 68. Many videos to see there.
Thanks Jo Daddy. This was very helpful . I’m currently putting quarter glass in a 66 mustang and I have everything attached but when I get the glass almost up to the top, the roller runs off the back side of the glass track. It does the same thing on both sides. What am I missing? Could the regulators be bent, or could I possibly have the lower vertical glass run on the wrong side? Any information would be helpful. Thanks
They could be bent. But do you have the seals in place at the top?
@@JoDaddysGarage yes sir I have the seals in place. I am going to mess around with it some more tomorrow. I didn’t tear this car apart, so I’m working off video footage from awesome people like you to try to get it back together . Thanks again for the vids..
@@JoDaddysGarage I think that I figured out my problem.Although I am not near the nightmare car, I am thinking that the top 2 holes in the glass backing plate has about an inch of forward and backward movement, so if I move that towards the rear that would solve the problem of the regulator roller dropping out of the glass. I will try that tomorrow and let you know how that goes. Thanks again for your help and videos..
Problem solved!!
Awsome video. Well explain...I have a 2002 toyota camry le 2.4 4cylinder
Worked perfectly. Thank Jo. Really appreciate all your help.
Any tips/insight on working on this while not being able to access the trunk? My cable also has an issue, preventing me from being able to open the trunk. Bought it used (rear ended) and cannot open with the manual lock either. 09 (2 door) civic
Well, do the seats fold down? That’s one way. If it’s rear ended and the lid is bad, just cut into it.
Thanks going to attempt now
Impressive! Now my parts shouldn’t get melted down with the extra pop cans laying around! Lol
Thank you. Your video inspired me to build one for my 1968 Mustang.
What kind of mini van was the seats from, name and year.
Front seats were from GM. Pontiac transport or whatever version Chevy had. They made those from 1990-99. The rear seat was from a ford. Same era. I think it was a Aerostar. Maybe a windstar.
Great instructions … that really helped me get this done and save some cash
Great Video. Why did you replace the transmissions hard lines? Couldn't you have just removed them at the radiator and screw them back into the new unit? BTW there is a tool for those PIA hose clamps, it's not expensive + you will understand why the clamps are in the position there at. Thanks for the video!
If I remember correctly, line threads were different.
Hi! Do you happen to know the part number for the roof rails themselves? Any help is much appreciated!
They do not make replacement rails for the coupes. Only Fastbacks. If you don’t have the original ones you will have to find some from a junk car.
Excellent. I always used channellocks to compress the piston, but I like that compressor tool. This video is complete and a great resource. Thanks.
Very helpful….. I was trying to install one today and came up with some of the same issues but I had two original quarters and they still fit horrible. Looks like I need to do some modifications… thanks for the tips
My studs keep snapping when putting on the new ones. I use spacers, lug nut backwards, etc.
Get better one and add a little grease to help them slide.
@@JoDaddysGarage thanks, I read mixed things about using a lubricant and wasn't sure. In combination with spacer adapters, which I never used before, it made me a bit nervous.
What about using like dawn soap so it washes off later?
I don’t think that will help. A small amount of grease won’t hurt anything. Once it’s seated, the lug nuts and friction keep it in.
Went in like a wet dream with the grease, thank you
Awesome!! Thanks so much!
The original OEM alternator is much better quality than the after market one. I always just replace the carbon contacts and it is good to go for another 80K miles.
You need a rafter with carpenter bee in it above the car. Whats the color? Maybe mines org.shade. Under the hood only.
Acapulco blue.
People (Iike me) are still watching these videos. Thanks for the expertise!
Barry I am thinking about buying a dynacorn mustang fenders for my 65 in a dynacorn hood in your opinion is that brand fitment good or should I look into another brand
I can’t say how good the Dynacorn pieces are for that model. I remember that the 66 I did years ago, the box said Dynacorn, but it was a generic fender. Not sure the quality today.
@@JoDaddysGarage then who would you use in your opinion what brand would you buy
Dynacorn may be the best option. Not a fan of Scott drake stuff. Maybe check muscle car GT.
@@JoDaddysGarage thanks Barry I ve watched you for years and trust your judgement thanks
Evolution covered all the bases with the attachments and clamps making it a great choice for cutting needs. Glad the eye is good, and it is will make the vacation a lot more enjoyable so go have fun.
Fantastic. I just purchased a dehumidifier for my garage, so I will look into getting these brushes for sure
Great Video! Exactly what I was looking for.
Awesome tool for the money!!!
Great demo Christmas in June!
Really nice review!👍
great video thanks
Barry, you sold me on the Arccaptain Tig & Mig, now on this. Take care, be safe. T/B 😊
That was a good demonstration
Barry what a boring first use video nothing went wrong 🤷♂️😂
this looks like a very nice tool and would be a great addition to any shop. Unfortunately, I'm trying to downsize right now, or I would likely purchase one.
That is huge and what people expect a metal saw to be. Not the old fiber saws that just barely get by.
Love the Test Fit T-shirts !
Good demo. They were very good about sharing their products with what people would identify as a regular user of the product and they were sure they had a quality product. Happy they chose you. They were right about their choice. You will be a good representative for their products.
hi barry grate show . that saw is good .👍👍👍👍👍👍😄
That's one piece of equipment that every fabricator should have. I have the first edition Evolution Saw, I wish I had this one when I fab'd up my headache rack for my pickup. Would have saved me a lot of time. Nice job!
If your not sliding the fender under the sail/and your but welding it to part of the old fender/why would you bother the old seem? How do others get the quarter under the sail?
Wow, thanks for making this. I am hopefully about to get a new hood tonight and have an original shaker to go on it, but need to cut the hole, its daunting to think about! Thanks!
