Good job you chose this Grabber Blue,, it'll be safe now from the DEW's.. there's really handy gallon lids at the paint shop that come with spouts set in them, makes for an easier pour. Another thing i learned painting was to bring in the garden hose before you spray & being careful not to wet the body & mist on a light layer of water onto the floor..it keeps the fine dust down when you're dragging the hose & shuffling around with your shoes & the overspray is attracted to the wet floor so it sits down quickly & reduces some of your overspray.

Nice mate,,,My dad had a '61 Falcon wagon when we moved th Oz from Ireland back in 1969.. I have a polaroid picture of me as a 3yr old sitting on the roof of it when we were parked at the side of a bush road.. Coming from the UK this Falcon felt to my old man like he was driving a boat after all the 'miniature' English cars he's owned & he called it his "Yank Tank"...So when the chance came up, i bought an old Falcon wagon like dads.. mine is the Aussie XP model 1965 & now she's a 302, soon to be 347.. if time & money permits. I don't have a great workshop like you have but there are plans (in my head) for one with the hoist & a host of new tool toys.

Great little custom job mate, i reckon you'd pay $40 Aus for a dinky-chocolate one from Chy-na... which is about $26.70 in your money.. So for a custom monogrammed one i'd say $49 USD for a bare steel one & $20 more for the powder coated model. I really wanted to see you make the top with edges & breaks so that is wraps the top of the battery top & bottom, rather than just a flat flap piece of tin, which obviously would be more work, but you could add dimples in the top for strength & make it more interesting & sell that one as a premium model..& chrome it..!! $150 bucks I'd buy one from you but I'm putting my battery in the back of the wagon & dropping in the floor somehow.. in 2055 probably.

Apparently the pre 2000 Explorer's had 31 spline axles & LSD & they're pretty cheap.

Guide coat dry,, i always used to get the cartriges from photo copy machines,, when the black cartridge was empty & replaced where i worked they'd toss it in the bin, but there was always heaps left in there.. I'd take it home to my shop & drop it in my guide coat tin. It had a round dense soft sponge under the lid.. you shake it up til the powder from the ink cartridge would lay on the sponge then just wipe it over the repair.. real easy to use & refilling it was free👍😁 great work Rob.. You fill me with confidence hehehe
Oh man that’s a great idea with the toner cartridge!! Yeah I’ve never used lead. May give it a go in the future.
Just wondering cobber, what height is your shop ceiling? I was thinking i'd need to build a shop with a roof height over 4metres (13 plus feet) to fit a hoist in.. But yours duzn look that high. The old man's one is fukn flash!!! Cheers
Mine is 14 at the peak. I can run the car all the way up as long as the hoist in centered
Nice mate,,,My dad had a '61 Falcon wagon when we moved th Oz from Ireland back in 1969.. I have a polaroid picture of me as a 3yr old sitting on the roof of it when we were parked at the side of a bush road.. Coming from the UK this Falcon felt to my old man like he was driving a boat after all the 'miniature' English cars he's owned & he called it his "Yank Tank"...So when the chance came up, i bought an old Falcon wagon like dads.. mine is the Aussie XP model 1965 & now she's a 302, soon to be 347.. if time & money permits. I don't have a great workshop like you have but there are plans (in my head) for one with the hoist & a host of new tool toys. You've got great skills mate, & i am really happy i happened across your channel.. Keep up the great work & the informative videos.. You've gotta mate here in the West Coast of Oz.. Cheers, Cobber.
Yank tank! I absolutely love that! Something so special about these cars. Great memories with your dad. I love hearing that. I really appreciate your comments and watching all these videos. The KZread grind gets a bit old and honestly I have been thinking of quitting just because it requires so much time and slows down progress. Your comments have encouraged me to keep going. Cheers!🍻
@@rdspeedfab yeah keep em going mate,, I know I’m not the only one enjoying them. They’ll be awesome to show your young bloke someday,, a real time capsule for him to remember how you did stuff back in the day in the shed….with the lame music 🤣🤣🤣. 🤙🏽🤙🏽Just jokes Cobber.. just jokes. 🙏🏽
@Snakelegs-go8qo hahaha thanks man!
Great little custom job mate, i reckon you'd pay $40 Aus for a dinky-chocolate one from Chy-na... which is about $26.70 in your money.. So for a custom monogrammed one i'd say $49 USD for a bare steel one & $20 more for the powder coated model. I really wanted to see you make the top with edges & breaks so that is wraps the top of the battery top & bottom, rather than just a flat flap piece of tin, which obviously would be more work, but you could add dimples in the top for strength & make it more interesting & sell that one as a premium model..& chrome it..!! $150 bucks I'd buy one from you but I'm putting my battery in the back of the wagon & dropping in the floor somehow.. in 2055 probably. Love your work Cobber..
Hey thank you! Yeah wrapping the top is a good idea. Maybe on version 2.0!
Good stuff Rob, I really like how you don't hide your struggles, Cobber... you share all the dramas & even the f#ck ups that challenge you & how you overcome them. Wish I had an old F truck to play with, don't paint it. I hope the well body is as nice & patina'd as the cab. What a good dad you got. And the music today... much more appropriate..I've been toying with the idea of a 8.8" for my XP Aussie '65 Falcon wagon. Apparently the pre 2000 Explorer's had 31 spline axles & LSD & they're pretty cheap. Only thing is you need to remake the tube on one side or buy 2 diffs because the stagger is so large, one side t t'other. Really enjoyed this video.. I'm catching up to almost present day.
Yeah I can get away with the offset in the truck. Bigger deal in a falcon for sure.
Cool.. looks like you are really enjoying it.. Despite the music 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha you just answered my last question
I been hearing that the early model Explorer with the live axle diff 8.8" i think had a 31 spline limited slip & pretty bullet proof.. I've been toying with the idea of slinging my old borg warner for this setup.. what's your thoughts on this idea Cobber?
Yeah it’s a good swap. Parts are cheap and easy to get.
Awesome.. mine sounds like that.. yours must have an aussie accent too 🤣🤣
Haha it does!
