Baker Makes It
United States
Приєднався 6 бер 2021
I make things, fix things, and break things. My goal is to show you that the process of making is just as rewarding as the finished product! We live in a culture where fewer and fewer people are willing to get their hands dirty and create something...I aim to change that! Let's break the stigma that working with your hands is lesser, and instead promote the benefits of a hard day of work. Let's build something together!
Building a Custom Headache Rack with Triangle Toolboxes!
The crossbody toolbox wasn't cutting it! I needed more bed space and better access to tools, but no one made what I wanted. I took two Montezuma triangle toolboxes and made a custom rack for them on my truck!

What size crush washer do u use
The ones I had were from a Honda civic originally but they are a 14mm ID.
Excellent narrative and respect for your technical skills.
Back in the mid 80's I bought a mint 1971 32' Holiday Rambler from the original owner. Beautiful in brand new shape! Dual entry doors w/a small queen in back bedroom. Was in my 20's, single and I used it as a Summer Seasonal mid 80's thru mid 90's at York Beach, Maine. Had a lot of fun and great memories w/my Holiday Rambler. Great, great time!
That’s awesome! We are looking forward to lots of memories in ours.
Love what you have done so far. Looking forward to the next steps.
Thanks man!
Nice job.
Hi Zach, do you happen to still have the 4th metal Holiday Rambler emblem that you bought? I am searching for one to use as a pattern to creat a mould. Thanks
Sorry, I don’t. I sold it to another person restoring a Holiday Rambler. They do pop up on EBay periodically if you keep an eye out.
Looks great, when you get it wired up and turn the lights on at dusk it will bring a big smile to your face😁. Just a heads up I noticed that the LEDs don't last but a few years☹️ and I ended up soldering 2 pin plugs on mine to expedite changing them out a little bit quicker...
Good job!
Thanks!
Super cool! I doubt the camera does it justice. The porch light is a great touch!
So nice to see it come together!
Wasn’t sure how the filler was gonna look but it turned out very nice! Can’t even see it. I’m glad you were able to find the oversized cover. The whole project looks great!
I was nervous too!
My wife brought her car in for a oil change at a jiffy lube or some damn place and they forgot to put oil back in the car it ended up stalling and then smoking and then it wouldn’t run anymore we had to tow it away
I’ve heard too many of those stories…that’s why I do my own!
So sweet. We polished one, but I may paint my personal one after seeing this!
I wanted to polish it, but that’s quite the commitment 🤣
Did GM really put a plastic filter housing on a diesel truck? Nice video and a nice truck.
Thanks! They sure did, same for the fuel filter housing.
They look great. Nice job cleaning them and painting them.
Thank you! Felt great to see the before/after.

Looks great, love the color
Thanks!
Can you please tell me what stripper you are using? I tried the orange stuff, citri stripper it was wrapped with plastic for 24 hours twice. It did not come off very easily not like yours did and took way too long.
Yeah I didn’t have any luck with those since mine had multiple layers. Only thing that worked for me was aircraft stripper, and lots of it. Probably used 4 gallons all said and done. Also get yourself a plastic scraper with replaceable plastic blades!
@@bakermakesit yes, I have one of those.
Enjoying your project, however your 71 rambler is a reimagining of the unit and in reality will only be a surface deep facsimile. Keep up the good work. Regards from across the Atlantic.
Thanks for following along! It definitely will be a departure from the original in many ways 😀
Great job on the "Camper Bling". That is hard painting those letters up in the air on the vertical.
Thanks Dwight!
I didn't realize that HR had aluminum emblems back in the day... you knocked it out of the park it looks great.👍 Can't wait to see what you do with that tankless hot water heater, one of the best upgrades I've made to mine. I ran pex lines 5 years ago and no issues thus far, knock on wood. Made it easy replacing all the old stuff easy.
Great job! Looks good!
Thank you!
Coming along nicely! The emblems really do make it pop.
I’ve been looking forward to this part for a long time 😀
It seems the gold that I received is not as gold as yours but I know it is just a picture. The date on the can says 9/23. Mine just seems so dark. Sorry to bother you. I didn’t know if you added something to it.
Sorry to hear that. Colors can definitely look different in different lights. I reduced mine as per the directions, but didn’t change anything else.
Sorry, to text you but I need to know the color of gold. You said gold metallic and they sent me the wrong color. We sprayed it on and I hate this color. Thanks, Cindy
Hey Cindy, the link to the paint I used is in the video description. It’s called Champagne Gold Metallic from TCP Global
How much silver paint did you buy? Thanks!
I bought 2 gallons of base coat, which turns into 3 gallons once it’s mixed. I used about 2/3 of that but if I had sprayed a third coat (which I should have) it would have been the perfect amount
I am changing oil tomorrow on my Tucson 2019. First time by myself. Your video is huge help and I got enough confidence to do it on my own. Thanks a ton.
You got this!
I hate how this engine sounds when idling
Beautiful! Awesome job
Thanks!
Great job! Beautiful! Getting ready to prime mine!
Thank you! Good luck!
Great job, impressive paint job
Thanks!
Definitely looks vintage with that color scheme 👍 you mentioned hot water... I went tankless and now have infinite hot water from my experience pex has held up quite well over the years up here in Michigan...
That was the goal! Two I’ve got a tankless one as well.
When you said silver I wasn't sure, but MAN that looks good! I'm looking forward to your interior videos! I appreciate you putting these videos together, helps keep me motivated! Lol
I don’t think you were the only one skeptical about the silver 😂. It help keeps me motivated too!
Nice!!
Thanks!
👍 nice job on the painting, and for what its worth. I agree that not spending alot of time fixing every little imperfection was a good idea... I'm sure you're glad to have this part of the project behind you, and time for the fun stuff😁
Appreciate it! It was a tough call but I just couldn’t justify the time that it would take. Definitely ready to start putting this thing back together!
I can't wait to pick your brain after you're done, lol. I'm closing in on painting and have been looking at different paints. So far I'm thinking automotive paint for sure. Either PPG, Tcp, Eastwood or Summit Racing. That red came out nice, too bad you weren't closer, I'd have come down and bought the leftover red from you, haha! Or brought down the few pieces I need shot red, ha
Yes sir, happy to walk you through my process. I use a lot of TCP global stuff at work and really like it. The Eastwood paint took 6 coats to cover the black seam sealer vs. 4 of the TCP for what it’s worth. The biggest thing I’m glad I did was the seam sealer on all trims and overlaps. It’s rock solid and I have a lot of faith that it’s going to last longer than the paint will. Just shoot me a message on FB when you’re at that part of your project 😀
Looks beautiful!
Thanks!
Nice job. Can’t wait to see the outside painting completed.
Thank you!
What kind of gold paint you are using? Color!
I put the link in the description 🙂
Great fabrication
Thank you!
Can you tell me which locks you bought off of Amazon? I need two for my Rambler. Thanks!
a.co/d/5A8e46f
10/10 informative video. Thank you for posting it :)
Sure thing!
Another question what kind of caulk you are using? Great video!
I used Lexel for the windows and then I’m going to use seam sealer for the edges of the panels and the seams
That patch panels on back, where would lights go?
I’ll be drilling holes in the rear panels for some round lights
These patch panels are made because you are not using anymore.
Some are that, and some are just that the modern equivalent didn’t cover the hole
🐍
Can you share with me on this wire wheel you used. I can ‘t get mine scuffed up enough. Thanks!
That hurricane hinge worked out fantastic! It looks factory. I might have to do the same on mine at some point.
Thanks man! I’m really happy with it. Took some sketchy table sawing to get it trimmed right but it’s way beefier now.
I was thinking that with such a nice refurbished camper, you’re gonna need a nice refurbished 1971 crew cab to pull it with….like you need another project😁
I like where your head is at!
Looks great!
Thanks!
Nice work. Sucks that you can’t remove the key for the lock unless it is locked. I tend to leave the compartments unlocked when I’m at the camp site, so I don’t have to have the keys on me at all times.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing! Might need to look for a different lock cylinder eventually.
