RIP Roaring Garage 1

New format, better camera, better SOUND, and growing pains of making things just feel better.

The episodes will be longer despite how everyone says shorter is best. I dont care. Car repair and restoration isnt bite sized or quick. It takes dirty hands and aching backs and a long time, so stick around if you want.

A new format, new camera, while I tackle some rust holes, by patching them in and welding! My back hurts but I push on with the Ranchero repairs

Sand blasting the area with rust damage comes first, then cut out the rust, and fabricate the patches. Plan ahead so its easier to cut and weld. Sheet metal on older cars can be thick, as well as thinned out from corrosion.

I will be doing a lap weld, since I cannot get in there properly, not even with clamps or magnets. I do want to protect the areas under the lap weld, so that means sanding away all the rust and even using aircraft remover, all for getting ready for primer. Acetone is ideal for the final wipe down before primer.

I do end up blowing some holes while sand blasting, so another patch needs to be welded in. The welding was difficult for me. Im no welder, but I am willing to learn and put myself out there for criticism. I blow the garage fuse, get frustrated, my arc won’t strike, I cant see through the welding helmet, I blow through the sheet metal, and I even set my car on fire!

But I prevailed. Its not the prettiest weld, but it holds, and will be good enough for now. I do use seam sealer to cover up any gaps in the weld to prevent water and moisture from getting inside the car. It is not pretty, but if it works, I will be happy.

At the end, I wanted to show you guys what I am like most of the time. I am hurt, and as broken as the Ranchero but I WILL NOT give up on myself or this car. Yes, I get a bit into some random thoughts that came to me while pushing through this repair. You don’t have to watch, although if you do, thank you. My soul goes into these cars, and even in these videos. I even talk about world peace, and the kinship we share.

Most of the music was written and composed by Alexander Nakarada, a talented musician, and a heavy metal magician!

The most IMPORTANT air filter test if you have a carburetor! Backfire test-blowing up filters! Ep 97

Rip Roaring Garage

https://amzn.to/3zxE44z
https://amzn.to/2WmYWNC (Amazon UK link!)

We all know how important air filters are to engines. Testing how filters can handle dust, sand and even paint is valuable information, but let’s face it, others can perform these long term tests better. But why do they never focus on the number one problem carbureted cars have with air filters?

Back fires can lead to catastrophic engine failure. How? Simply by burning a hole in the filter material, it allows debris inside your engine that will cause serious damage. So this is why I wondered, which air filter brand is the best, and not only that, but I test a cloth reusable/washable style filter and put them all through extreme testing.

I pick up every single 9-10 inch filters I can find, the Spectre 4805, Spectre 2606, Autoextra 619 and the Edelbrock 1218. The sand test measures to see how fast the filters will clog as well as showing any tears in the filter fabric. The paint is a much more harsh test, to show how much debris the filters can remove from a suspension or humid dirty environment.

Engine vacuum is simulated by the shop-vac vacuum, connected to the test rig, and each filter gets put through the tests. I do go over each filter at this stage, before moving on to the most important test.

Using starting fluid (ether) I spray inside the filter and the filter housing, simulating the conditions of a backfire, where reverse vacuum pushes fuel air mixture back up through the carburetor. Ignition from poor valve time allows the flame from the cylinder head to travel up the intake, through the carb and into the filter housing. This cannot be avoided at times, so I thought it would be interesting to see how well does a filter stand up.

Please watch the whole video because I do include the bloopers and a funny/serious skit about how the T-shirts and merch are being stolen. Not poor enough I guess!

1974 Ford Ranchero Rust Revival - Weld Repairs to bed sheet metal Ep98

Im see the light, as the project 1974 Ford Ranchero moves ahead in its revival. I weld in the big holes in the bed. Bed corners are notorious for rusting and rotting out, even worse on Ranchero’s as the bed aligns above the cabin spare time compartment, letting water drain in, and messing up your floor pans.
I had to judge a lot of VA appointments this episode but I actually feel pretty good about how I welded in the two corners, and made a sturdy weld. This is a car revival and a me revival as well.
My mom, henceforth known as Shop Mom helped a lot, and picthed in for the Miller Digital Infinity auto darkening weld helmet. I do talk a bit about out of the box settings, nothing fancy, just what I had to find out before laying down some beads and tacks. It made a HUGE difference.
Also, I want to say, this video took a week to edit, doing 18 hours daily…plus, I put a lot of work into synching the music to the beats of the hammer, weld arcs and overall give it groove!
Thank you all for sticking around!

Matco Custom Toolbox 2bay with Hutch | Craigslist find reaffirms my faith in people | Tool Review

Rip Roaring Garage

I bought a Matco Custom 2 bay toolbox, with hutch and the ultra rare diamond plate option. It belonged to Jimmy the Greek, RIP.
I had initially intended on talking about Jimmy, but eventually decided to dedicate this episode to Peter A. He did something that impressed me, and made the whole thing possible in the end, WITHOUT me asking.

Amazon delivery HIT AND RUN over $2000 in damages | Is Google Maps to blame? (It can happen to you!)

Rip Roaring Garage

This can happen to you too! Google labeled by private driveway as a road! Amazon delivery decides to plow my front lawn, hit a classic vehicle and RUN!

Why would Google decide to do this? Its obviously not a road. Why would the Amazon driver spin his wheels and plow through my law, then back up over my flower garden and hit a parked vehicle and just leave?

I have tried calling Amazon, left emails, and they just don’t care, and I can’t afford a lawyer, or the deductible (which I have to pay one for BOTH the lawn damage, and the bus, and have it as a ding on me!)

At time of publishing, there has been no resolution. I will be putting up a sign, but I have been in a lot of pain lately so I am waiting for a day when I can actually move and dig. (I can’t afford to pay somebody to do it right now).

I’m hoping that this doesn’t happen to any of you, because even if not life threatening, it’s still my stuff, that I worked really hard for, and still work hard to maintain. I just feel that these huge corporations are not just above the law, but de-facto make the law, and it’s not right.

0:00 Amazon delivery pulls into my driveway and lawn
1:26 Amazon throwing my packages on the ground
1:50 Amazon spinning wheels and plowing my lawn
2:25 Amazon runs over my flowers and peace garden
3:40 Amazon hit and run accident, damaging my historic city bus
4:47 Is Google Maps responsible? My driveway is NOT a road
6:18 Has this happened to you? How do you fix it?
