Love it in the process of making myself one now. Have the same fans.2 stacked on top of each other. But my booth is twice that size . Hope it’s going to work. Thanks for the ideas.
Always enjoy life!
those look incredible
Thanks! I still haven't put them on the truck, but I'm working towards it after all these years.
@@tinygaragefab I feel that. Looking forward to seeing it.
Hi, first time watching one of your videos 1950 Ford F-1: Fixing Saggy Door Handles posted six years ago. Yes, common problem with these old trucks and a pet peeve of mine also. Unless you are building a show truck or are a perfectionist, there is another way to straighter out an outside door handles in 5 minutes. Not everyone who watches your video has the mechanical ability and may want an easier and faster way for a daily driver. All it requires is removing the door handle and heating up the shaft until it is pliable. Insert it back in the closed door still hot and pull it up until it is level. If it is off a little, you may have to reheat it and tweak it. I have seen 50k F1's with saggy door. handles. I also saw a video where they bought a re pop driver door mechanism to fix this problem and after installing the new door mechanism, the handle pointed upward instead. He left it like that because he didn't know how to tweak it my way. Yours is really the correct way but if you want a faster and easier way then one may consider my way as an alternative.
Nice work, my friend
2 years later, what happened? hope all is well. i have a 75' datsun 620 and need your help!
So, what happened? Well, I don't talk about it much, but Military duties have kept me from home for most of the last three years. I'm finally retiring in six months, and I'll be able to get some time back this fall, and the Datsun is still at the top of my list to complete. I just need a little more time, thank you for being patient.
Hi there , I have a 88 pick up 22re , replaced an ecu , open circuit relay and fuel pump, now I have fuel pressure, spark and it fires up if I spray gas in the chamber but just for a few seconds, my problem is that none of the injections are pulsing including the cold start, any idea what to look for? I have the harness completely unwrapped, I don’t see damage anywhere
Thank you for a great video on injector cleaning.
I appreciate that, thank you!
excellent video and job well done, I am looking at a 22r for my 1964 econoline pickup..maybe well see thanks again
That would be a pretty rad swap!
You’re out of Virginia beach?! Same here! I have an ‘82 Datsun I drive occasionally and a ‘73 620 I’m working on currently. May need some pointers if you’re still living in the area!
I'm still out here in VB. I'm about to get back into this 620 this fall, so keep an eye out. You haven't seen anything yet! Its going to get wild.
i love the early Cougars, i have a 69 Cougar, but that panel has bolts for mine thank god. lol i removed it to fix windshield wiper motor. I think the spot welds are for 67-68 only
A bolted on cowl would be amazing on this car! Massive time-saver.
exhaust manifold nuts should be 12mm
What type of stone was used on the head block
That was just a cheap knife sharpening stone I picked up from a tool store long ago. There are better things to use, but this works great for a fine hone just to get a glimpse of whether the head or block is warped.
I would like to know how you got rid of the refrigerate. I don't know anything about impact wrenches..are the expensive..do you needed a commercial compressor to run a impact wrenches
I don't believe this had any refrigerant in it. You can usually unbolt the compressor from the mount and move it out of the way to pull the engine without opening the A/C lines, if you're worried about it. Many shops might even purge your system for free if they get to reclaim and keep the refrigerant. As for impacts, electric is now the way to go. Harbor Freight has some decently powered 20v impact guns. But most of the time, you can just use a breaker bar and do it by hand, it doesn't take that much longer.
Shut the crap music off
I wish I could get mine to start, freshly rebuilt too, it has air, gas, and spark. It just doesn't want to give'er.
What gun is that you’re using?
This is the Hyper Smooth 02 LED from Columbia Coatings. I can highly recommend for a serious home-user, or even a small shop that coats every day.
You’re an excellent teacher, vids like this are high value for a hobbyist mechanic like me
Thank you so much, I appreciate that. I have several other engines to build in the near future, plus a lot of other cool stuff. I hope you'll follow along.
Awesome video!
Thank you! It was fun, and I plan to do another video on an even better mod to these same struts. Fully adjustable DIY coilover conversion!
my 1985 burned down a few weeks ago, excellent video. I will be tearing into it to hopefully rebuild it in and toss it in my new to me 1987 4r!
That's absolutely tragic about the '85. But congrats on a 1st gen T4R! I want one so bad.
@@tinygaragefab picked it up from a friend for 1k. Just needs a motor! Got it home today and in the shop.
Thanks
I will have to say... that is the best looking mailbox I have ever seen! I love the door handle flag. Nice Work! New subscriber
Thank you! It was a fun build and gets lots of positive comments from people in the neighborhood.

what would be a reasonable price to have a machine shop rebuild one of these?
i have a very small sandblaster, a very small oven, very small car, and new calipers. I am going to finally try doing this myself thanks to your awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to show us beginners how to properly do this!! Would you say that a clear coat is required? Or only for your special base colour?
If the calipers are brand new, then just clean them really good with brake cleaner, don't even bother with blasting. But if they are painted or rusty, then blast them. Clear was mandatory for the "illusion" powder that I used here. Most powders do not require it, but it can add an extra level of gloss (or satin/matte) if that's the look you want. Have fun with it. You'll do great!
I've done this with pretty good results a couple of times by just cutting the tube after laying down a line long enough to match up the two left over pieces. Clamp those parts to a piece of angle iron and weld it back together. The first one was for a '72 Chev pickup, and the second was for a demo derby car, that admittedly did not have to travel at speed, but did not break during the derby.
Strong enough for a derby car is strong enough for me! We used to build those when I was a teen/early 20's
Sweet truck!
Thanks! There is a lot more in store for this thing, it should be finished by the end of the year.
only thing & to me it is a big thing, that I dont like about these type trail welders with spool on the end.... is when watching folk use them in vids..... half the time or more the spool is in the way and the welder has to crawl all over the place back and forth to reposition themselves and the gun. Hopefully I am getting around this with a vintage snap on luggable (listed as portable; but not really) 24v welder. Similar to suitcase welders of today but at 5th the price (if it still works) PS- someone started a vacebook page on Vintage portable welders (change v to f) . Please do stop in and add your vintage setup or help out with others dealing with them. Search for group name "Vintage: Portable Battery/Alternator Welders"
Great work and I like the thinking behind it. Do you have any dimensions of the insert, Kyb is very vague about that stuff 👍 I did something similar with a Volvo insert into a coilover
KYB publishes all the dimensions of their shocks and struts on their web page, including the end types and sizes on shocks. Very easy to find. As far as the diameter, they don't publish that, and I don't have any in front of me to measure at the moment.
@@tinygaragefab I needed the diameter for KW V1 application and body length because they have several to choose from
Can u put link for 3d model of the straight drill jig ?
The US military bought many of them for field repairs and they worked quite well being basically a DC-powered spool gun.
Once I saw what it really was, this became my purpose for keeping it. It will live in the offroad trailer I am going to build on the channel, so I'll always have a welder while my girl and I are overlanding.
Your a lawn mower
Great video and very informative!! Yours was measured in 6x3x13.1 mm is your measurements for your car. My car is a 2016 Subaru Forester. On Amazon it shows options to buy 4 -8 fuel filter baskets that comes with that basket fuel injector basket removal tool. It made it sound like the fuel injector filter baskets were all the same. Obviously not and you pointed that out but Amazon did not. It goes to show you how crooked this world is in ripping you off. (4) 2016 Subaru Forester fuel injectors are $500. I never knew you could rebuild these and never replaced one. I look forward to getting my car fixed as it has 84k miles and from 31-32 mpg it guzzles gas bad at 16-18 mpg which is pitiful. I put air filter, changed oil, plugs, etc.
I'm glad you liked the video, and I hope you find all the success in cleaning your injectors. It may have you cursing at times, but the reward and lessons learned are usually worth any frustration had while doing a job yourself.
I followed this video but the wheels are not straight.
think these were copy of (or visa versa) of Cronatron product. Cronatron only sold them for a few years and ready welder hit the nitch 4x4 trail welder market.
$80 to clean fuel injectors? Were they going to remove and install or spray with a system?
That was just to run the injectors through their machine after I removed them. I can't imagine what they would ask if they had to remove and replace!

Might as well just buy the 505 super injector cleaner and leave them in and run.
Is it possible to clean a non electric injector with the seringe method such as in my diesel engine
I actually don't know for sure. Since diesel injectors generally operate at a MUCH higher pressure than gas injectors, I don't know if this method would create enough pressure or flow to do much. For the cost, I'd say it's worth a try, but I cannot say if it's effective or not.

Nice job.very creative .I will use this today on some injectors I have.thank you
is this method good for all domestic vehicles or for some models I have a 2006 chevy avalanche and a 1989 chevy corvette
This process should work for both of those vehicles.
I’m on my second Jetta, and omg the noise!!! I never knew. I always assumed it was my tires. Everything you mentioned… I have but just never paid attention. I’m so ready to to trade in for an Audi
Well, Audi is still VW, so I can't say that it would actually be an improvement. Hopefully for you it is, but I'd be skeptical.
This is an awesome video!
Thank you!
Nice job. I half paying attention when you were under the vehicle and you said “Uh oh “ in my experience that means you messed up. Glad it was just in gear. Great information.
Oh, I mess up all the time! Lol Glad you liked the process I used. It's nearly fool-proof and has served me well for years.
I had the distruter off 1 time on a 22r and the exhaust exploded. It sounded like a shot gun.
That's wild. Timing is pretty important for sure!
Nice work! Are you still making/selling them? Would love to get a set!
Lawnmower technology
3d printed hole guide...... Cheater! 😂
How did you get the old crossmember out with the bed still on?
Awesome video man! Thanks! This helped me a lot!!!
My car repair bills for my VW were at least triple any American or Japanese car I ever owned. Constant problems plus horrible gas mileage on a tiny car. Awful, cheap interior. Headliner sagging. Door panel fabric sagging. Cheap plastic interior parts all broke off. Never again. The car even had an active recall after purchasing.
Very cool and simple!!!
