I think I got off pretty lucky. There are vehicles that require about 6 hours to replace an alternator. That is why I like the older vehicles. It would take me about ten minutes to replace the one in my 71 Chevy. I know my truck is a 2008 but I was surprised I had no warning. Good for awhile now. Thanks Mike. Stevo

I got off pretty lucky. It quit about 2 miles from the acreage so an easy rescue for Kevin. It could have been 30 below so I am not complaining. Thanks Wayne. Stevo

The automotive industry is becoming evil. I am hearing nasty things all the time. They are definitely making it so the average guy can not work on your vehicle. There are only a few die hard's out there that still work on their own stuff. Glad my vehicles are still workable. Thanks. Stevo

The newer vehicles are getting tougher to work on everyday. They are designing them so you have to take it in. Glad to hear the Subaru is an easier fix. That is just common sense engineering. Thanks Vern. Stevo

I am very glad I heal quick cause I would have bled to death years ago. If you are not bleeding, you're not trying. This was still not a bad change out unlike my 71 Chevy that would require about 10 minutes and only about a half of a beer. Thanks. Stevo

Not like the old Chevy where it would only take my 10 minutes to do a swap. I think your truck would be quite easy as well. I should be good for awhile now. Thanks Bruce. Stevo

This is going to be a big project. My first car was a 69 Beetle so I am trying to revisit my youth. So you were ultra cool at one point in your life, welcome to the club. If you owed your Beetle for a while, it would sure teach you art of road side repairs. Thanks Mike. Stevo

@@stevoj8959 You ain't lying!! My very 1st car was a used 65 beetle. And Janet and I changed the engine in that car 3 times!! In the end, when I went to trade it in on the brand new 74 beetle and I was trying to negotiate a better deal the salesman said, "You keep your old Beetle and I'll throw in a radio." LOL I took the deal!! LOL

@@GrampiesWorkshop That is so awesome. Made me smile. Thanks Mike.

It felt like I was digging a Dinosaur. One does not realize how cool nature is until you take a closer look. Thanks for tuning in. Stevo

These old 56's are getting tough to find now because of their popularity. We have an old 56 Mercury left and then we are out of those years for project. Bodywork is one of those things I do and I am going to miss the old Fords. Let me know if you want a pick of the old Merc. Thanks. Stevo

I think about this build everyday. Lots of decisions to be made. Stay tuned. thanks. Stevo

This will be as big as a 56 build. Looking forward to it though. Thanks Wayne. Stevo

This is going to be a fun build. I thought my compressor was going down but the belts were slipping. A little belt dressing cured the problem. Thanks Bruce. Stevo

I have already done the dune buggy thing back when I was young. Though if a Manx dune buggy body rolls my way, I am in. Looking at the floor pan. It is really rough. Thanks Vern. Stevo

I am starting to visualize the build now, just have to hit the start button. Thanks. Stevo

That is what I found to be the most difficult, finding parts. Found some on ebay but the shipping hurts. Finding the odd motorcycle salvage yard works but apparently this bike is a rare model so some of the parts I wanted, they don't have. Glad it is done, sticking to the cars. Thanks. Stevo

@@stevoj8959 good job though

Good to hear from you. As far as I know, JB Weld is fuel resistant and I think they make some stuff for fuel tanks. I had a Beetle way back when I was young er with a hole in the block and I would plug it with JB and it would last a couple years before the oil would start to seep then I would do it all over again. With that bowl leaking, there are not that many options. So far so good. Take care Dave. Stevo

It has turned out to be a cool ride. There were a few unsures about this project but it turned out great. Just have to wait till spring to enjoy it. Thanks. Stevo

The tough part of putting thing back together is having to clean and fix things before you assemble, drives me crazy. Time really slips by as well and it takes way longer than you think it will. But it looks good and worth the effort. Thanks Mike. Stevo

Finally got er put back together. No extra parts and no extra bolts. Thanks Bruce. Stevo

Really happy with how it turned out. Was hoping to enjoy it a bit but we now have snow on the ground so I will just have to look at it till spring. Thanks. Stevo

Awesome. You know that has happened to me when I have tried to reply to someone. But sometime a movie is better the second time. Thanks. Stevo

It really looks like a clean bike now. Snow is on the ground now so will have to wait till spring to enjoy it. Still fun to look at it. Thanks. Stevo

It is looking new. I am most happy with the graphics and paint. Lots of snow here now so will have to wait till spring for a good cruise. Thanks Wayne. Stevo

Out of the whole build, I am most happy with the graphics and the paint. I am glad my buddy Dom talked me into the decals instead of painting the graphics Thanks. Stevo

Well that thought did cross my mind. Might as well have cause I had parts in my living room since spring. I think all cool guys keep their bikes in the living room. Did find some room in my shed, all locked up. Thanks muchly Vern. Stevo

That is awesome that you forward my channel. Got to love the Grand Prix. It is their turn to become popular and for good reason. Not sure how easy it is to find parts but it will be a cool ride when it is done. Thanks. Stevo

That is a good tip. I also thought about hinging the security bars. There is always room for improvement. Thanks so much for the comment. Stevo

Yep. A big bag of parts with a picture and memory to go by. Thanks. Stevo

This was a big job but the average root only takes about 3-4 hours. Nothing wrong with hiring it out either. Thanks. Stevo

Got to love these 56's. This has been a big project for Kevin but getting close to done. Thanks Bruce. Stevo

A bigger project than I first thought but what project isn't. Glad it's done but will have to wait till spring for that big cruise. Thanks. Stevo

I have really never had a project where I had to polish a bunch of chrome but that steel wool really works good. There are still some scuffs from road rash but over all, it looks pretty good. Thanks Mike. Stevo

I was a little stressed about getting started on this seat. I have never done upholstery before but it turned out awesome. I had to fire the more than usual number of brain cells to fix the rust but I got er done. Like all projects, you just have to get started. Thanks Mike. Stevo

The bike is looking good but the weather not so. Will have to take er for a cruise in the spring. That's okay. Thanks. Stevo

I was surprised at how good the fenders were. Rust is always a problem but with the right chemicals, most problems get solved. Thanks Bruce. Stevo

Yes Vern, a fine line between practical and looking too good. As you know, you get into a project with certain expectations then you do one extra thing that leads to another. I am fighting the demons on my upcoming VW project. How far does one go. Thanks man. Stevo

Never thought I would do a bike and have concluded that this will be my last. It is tough finding parts and is kind of stressing me out, cramping my style. I will just have to find a Ford to work on and all will be good. Thanks Wayne. Stevo

The bike is looking good. Was hoping for a cruise this year but will have to wait till spring. Thanks. Stevo

This project took more effort than I thought it would. Parts are hard to find and problems pop up everywhere. Going to stick to automotive world. Thanks. Stevo

Sorry to hear about your loss. You work hard to create something cool and some dirtbag ruins your day. This project was larger than I expected but it looks great. I found that parts are hard to find and problems are always popping up. Stick to the cars I say. Thanks. Stevo

This was a good project. The best part of this build were the owners. When you have the support and commitment the project steams ahead. They have won a few awards with this truck and it feels good. Thanks for tuning in. Stevo

@ Absolutely!

It took some work but it does look good now. It is always a bit stressful when you have never tackled a job like this. Thanks Vern, Stevo
