Fun King Garage was created to showcase the projects done in the garage. It might be repairs, upgrades, welding, building, wood working or even working on the garage itself.
Glenn has been turning wrench on cars since high school (late 80's/early 90s,) and on bikes, mowers and other things since way before that. He is skilled in woodworking/carpentry, house building, electrical, plumbing, auto repair, auto customizing, upholstery, window tinting, computers, electronics, 3D Printing, cad design, and so much more. (Jack of all trades... master of none. LOL!)
We will be showcasing many of these talents on this channel. The goal for this channel is to grow it (obviously) and maybe even add a few more personalities (people, not Glenn's other personalities) into the videos.
Some of the projects seen here are ours and some are for others and used with permission.
Thank you for being here and I hope you subscribe!

Where did you get the capture nuts fir the empty holes?
If I remember correctly, they came in the kit with the steps. In fact I am almost positive that is the case as I do not have any of those laying around. I think the kit actually came with them for all the holes and I did not need them all.
I just subscribed to your channel, fun content
Nice! I appreciate it!
Glade we could help🤝
Almost stopped by on the way home too. But we ended up going a different route.
I love how crossovers are basically slightly lifted wagons
I miss wagons!
Thank you sooooooo much for taking us along Sir, this is something I'll never get to do, so really appreciate these videos, thank you...🏆🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆 I hope you have a great trip back home; lease take care and keep yourselves safe... All the absolute best... Andy...
It is much appreciated. This will be a year to remember for the whole family.
Ohio sounds a bit like North Wales, farms everywhere...😁😁🤠🐮🐮🐄🐄🐑🐑🐔🐔🐑🐑🐄🐄🐮🐮🤠😁😁 Keep safe y'all... Andy...
And terrible roads? 😂
Film some of the stuff going home too. May not be as eventful, but surely there is other things to see along the way
We do have the gopro at hand just in case.
Well. I'm thinking that you should stop by Tennessee Off Road on the way home and have them put a 4WD suspension in the Ford, the the northern roads won't feel so bad
We actually had that conversation. 😂
Well, i just binged watched the whole set, and it looks like you all had fun. Crazy you had passed by my area . Sorry the roads aren't great, but at least you made it through, and hopefully had an all around safe trip.
There are always so many people I could visit, but there is just never enough time.
Well, when you crossed the bridge and the sign said Kellog ave, you were within 20 minutes of me. A couple of exits and at the 125 Beechmont exit you could've gotten some White Castles. Lol
Oh, we have eaten White Castle!
"Brake Dancin' " at O'Reily's
I have gotten to know MANY O'Reilly's employees on this trip.
With the Johnny Links and other upgrades, looks like you're going to have some stuff going on to show us At least you will have a whole year to get it all done
Absolutely.
Sleep Deprivation Narcosis.... strange state to be in
I was super slap happy tired the other night.
At the beginning I thought that Gricella looked a bit taller, then I realize that it was Xander. oops... I think Aerosmith had a song about him :)
Gotta have the hair before it all falls out. 😂
Because you were still there !!!
😂
Nice
Thank you!
Do you know if that car has any history in Florida
I do not know much about the history. If you think you might, please reach out to me via our website (so I don't have to post my email publicly) I would love to know more about it's life. funkinggarage.com
Them Jeep guys are pretty cool.
These ones for sure!
I dunno if the guy freqents this type of event, but have you seen a Hemi powered Plum Crazy Purple '70 Cuda?
Very possibly, but it is about 10,000 cars.
Great video & thank you so much for taking us along Sir...☺☺ Is there any chance you could send some of that blue cloud and warm weather over this way please, it's been wet and cold, still not even hit 60f here...😟😟 Anyway, thank you again, lease take care and keep yourselves safe, looking forward to watching tomorrows now...☺☺ All the very best... Andy...
It has been HOT in Florida and was in Georgia too. Up here in Kentucky, it has been beautiful. I will see what I can capture in a jar for you!
Great video and thanks for not adding any stupid music to it and letting the cars do the talking
Thank you! Unfortunately, I had to add music to day 2 as we walked the venue due to "things" people say. But we let the cars still scream. I will be posting a full coverage set of videos when we are home and I have a proper computer setup. :)
Power tour has turned into a youtuber convention with their fake drama
Not many KZreadrs are here. And I have not seen any fake drama yet. Plenty of real drama. LOL!
AC on a muscle car? That's cheating. Had I known you were in TN I woulda waved in your general direction from here.
We are not using it. At least not on the power tour. LOL! We did run it for a bit through Georgia.
Looks like a lot of fun!!! Drive safe and keep the videos coming !! From your friendly neighbor down the road
Much appreciated!
Hey, You're just a few hrs from me Glenn. Have fun! Chk out that one handed knife action.
Wish we would have known. Might have been able to meet up. And I too was impressed with my knife skills. 😂
@@FunKingGarage Have y'all made a run through the Corvette Museum?
Unfortunately there was no time for that. I will tell the whole story soon.
I hope you all have a fun time, please take care, and keep yourselves safe... Looking forward to watching and following along with you... All the very best... Andy...
Thank you! Will do! It is quite the adventure.
Tune in next week folks as Glenn burns everything in. Then the week after that, has to cut everything back out
HEY! That would not be funny at all!
A little spit'n grit and grit 'n spit and this'll fit right up!
Nice!
Glenn, you’ve hit your head so much that you’ve knocked all the hair off the top of your head 😂 JK. Great Job as always!
Maybe if I had hair, I would not have hit it so much. Early warning detection is key. LOL!
I think the car name should be "Bang Head Here"
I thought about it later and I should have put a sticker under the car everywhere I hit my head. LOL!
Good video but I was expecting to see more details about the rear suspension. How you made the springs come off?
I know it is always a bummer when a video does not show what you are looking for, but sometimes things don't get filmed. We are definitely not a "how to" channel and that is why the videos are never step by step. I don't 100% remember what I had to remove, but it was the shocks for sure, most likely the rear sway bar and I am pretty sure the control arm needed to be loosened. (Be sure to preload before retorquing the control arm.) Honestly though, I would say the best thing for you to do is get a factory service manual. (I mean this VERY respectably.) If you are unsure how to remove the spring, you should not do it. Springs can contain an immense amount of stored energy and can hurt or kill you. I will never discourage anyone from wanting to learn to work on cars, but please be very careful and know all you can before attempting.
@@FunKingGarageyours is one of the few videos showing how to install lowering springs on a Toyota Rav4. I just finished installing coilovers I figured out since I have experience working on my other cars. I used to own a vw and I still have an Audi. I removed the lower control arm.
That is why I said it was respectably. Being I have no idea what your mechanical background is, it is always hard to advise people. I am glad you were able to get it taken care of. :)
How's the ride on those springs? We just got a 2018 Rav4 for my wife and she's looking to lower it and change the wheels .
That is a tough question to answer. Depends on if you have ever had a lowered vehicle before. To me it had a nice sporty feel to it. (Make sure to trim the bump stops.) It took my mom a bit to get used to it. It is not a "pillowy" as factory of course, but it is also not like driving something that is SLAMMED. To me, it was well worth it and it looks so much better.
Hi, i need install a cummins 5.9 to 2008 f-550 6 speed, it is posibility?
As long as there is an adapter plate, there should be no issues. Check with Diesel Conversion Specialists and see what they have available. You can also check in the Fummins Tech facebook group and look for Mike Fuchs. He makes adapters as well. But it has absolutely been done with manual transmissions.
Seems like this is the best option to beat off against the wind! Lol
Umm, what?
Soooo are we C-notching the frame and air bagging it?
There is SO much travel that C-notching would not be necessary. And bags are very much in it's future. But it will have to wait. (I am thinking a Mustang II front suspension first.)
You know, if you knew someone with a 3D printer, you could have had bushings printed, or even had a center finder made
What is funny is that I did not even consider that.
Why not raise the car and get a 6x6 to stand on, then you could step off of it and not crack your melon so often :)
I have a box to stand on. (Wooden) But, ya know, at my age, I am worried about falling off. LOL!
I hope they had a good penetrating weld, and that when you ground off the 'bubble' that you didn't remove the only joining material
I am sure my over engineering took care of that. ;)
Enjoyed. At least we get to see the starting point if upgrades are needed.
I was afraid it was going to be a total mess, but it is not bad. I wonder if people expect it to be a "bolt in" solution.
But i already know where you live. Its ....
It's a darn shame for anyone who shows up here. LOL! (With the exception of a few.)
NOW you hide the address to keep me.... i mean nut jobs away :)

@@FunKingGarage OK. Have sent you an email.
Thanks for this. I'm working on a belt squeal on our 2006 Altima 3.5L. Hoping it's not the A/C after watching this. Only does it on the first startup of the day, and does it less if the A/C is turned off at startup. The fun continues....
I assume you have changed the belt and checked/replaced the tensioner. It may not be the A/C even if it does not do it or does it less with it turned off. The A/C may just be adding enough load to cause it. When mine first started, I could rev the engine and it would go away, but it got progressively worse. I would suggest watching the pullies and having someone else start the car, watch for a pully hanging up. (I know easier said then done, not much room in there.) Might want to use a bright colored paint pen to put on a mark on each pully (not the compressor clutch, but the actual pully) and see if anything hangs. Good luck and feel free to reach out with questions. I may not always have an answer, but I am always willing to try to help.
I like your meticulous work habits, Sir. You know the importance of getting things aligned properly, to zero tolerances. I'm also impressed with the body and frame; that 55 Ford is a sound as a kitten. In addition, it looks like the frame is as straight as a die, as your level indicated. You'll never have any problems steering a straight line down the road. Those old cars had a lot of steering play to contend with and were not that stable cornering especially with weak springs. They also had a habit of dog tracking under shackle bushings wear conditions. Can't wait to see how you go about installing the new springs etc....
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. It is pretty clean underneath. It seems the previous owner was concerned with making it look good. (Not so much with tightening bolts. LOL!) I hope she will be a great car for many more years.
Any duct tape or baling wire involved yet?!?!? Gotta be getting close 😁
I have found a piece of coat hanger that was holding the exhaust. And there is a piece of bailing wire on the throttle return spring. But I think the only duct tape so far is what I used to hold the sheet metal to the front of the axle housing. (And that of course is not staying. LOL!)
I love the videos I love how you take your time and go over everything
I absolutely appreciate that. In a KZread world where you have to worry about analytics, sometimes I feel like the videos are too long (and cover too much.) Your input is very valuable and appreciated! Thanks for watching!
Mass produce the air box adapters ( I'll take one please 😁). Where did you get the air filter that fits perfect into the air box? Thanks in advance.
I am not sure I want to mass produce anything. LOL! Are you talking about the plate I cut on the router or the piping? As for the filter, it is the one that came in the DCS kit. It is an AFE. They have updated the "Kit" to include a lot more than what I got. dieselconversion.com/air-intakes/6-4-to-2003-2009-cummins-common-rail-air-intake-kit-using-stock-6-4-air-filter-box/ I will get the AFE part number and let you know.
@@FunKingGarage WOW!! They took your job and made an adapter plate. Yes sir, the plate you cut out on the router. Looks very nice.
I am 99% sure I still have the template. Maybe we could work something out. ;) And that filter is an AFE 21-40035
I’m in the process of a similar build with my 08 F450 using a 6.7 so far your videos have helped answer a lot of questions.
I appreciate that! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions as I may not have covered everything. (There is still more content coming.)
4 link & air bags solve all this... 😂
Maybe, maybe not. No spoilers.
Ye Ole fire wrench would take care of most of those stubborn nuts/bolts
It was too close to the lift pad for fire. :(
