Here at Random Rod Shop we try to focus on building rods, sometimes we're successful and sometimes life gets in the way. Either way we try to have fun. Life is a journey not a destination.
Somedays it doesn't pay to get out of bed...
We weld the trans tunnel in work on getting the seats mounted. Lesson learned...seat pans that are not flat are much more difficult especially if you have not allowed any clearance between the seat and the seat pan.

Swapping a 5-Wire CDI for a 7-Wire
Переглядів 18014 днів тому
We get an old and very used golf cart running using a five wire CDI module. The wiring is not intuitive, but it seems to work. I am not sure why this isn't a more common fix. #CDI, #golfcart, #ignitioncoil, #nospark
Do you really need a store-bought adapter?

In this video we convert a 1963 C10 to power steering using a cardboard box template. With a little bit of care this is a very straightforward swap. #project #welding #diy #rustrepair #partscar #frameswap #engineswaps #harborfreight #metalshop #sheetmetalrepair #c10 #powersteering

To replace rusty metal on the firewall, the dash had to come out. Since we had a square body dash already out, we thought we would see if it would fit the IH. #project #welding #diy #rustrepair #partscar #frameswap #engineswaps #harborfreight #metalshop #sheetmetalrepair

Repairing rusty cab support with simple tools
Переглядів 369Місяць тому
In this video we finally get the rusty passenger side cab support replaced on our Tahoe swapped International pickup. Getting all of the rusty metal out seemed to take forever. However, the end result looks good. We are getting closer to putting the bed back on and driving this thing. #project #welding #diy #rustrepair #partscar #frameswap #engineswaps #harborfreight #metalshop #sheetmetalrepair
Sometimes you wonder if the door is even ALIGNABLE

We update the happenings at Random Rod Shop ... "a day in the life" sort of thing. We also continue work on the Tahoe swapped International pickup. This time, we begin work on the passenger side; starting with aligning the door. As with the driver's side, the rocker appears to defies alignment. #project #welding #diy #rustrepair #partscar #frameswap #engineswaps #harborfreight #metalshop #sheet...
The Upper Control Arm nuts will not stay tight

Out of all of the square body chevys I have driven, this is the only one that has a problem with the passenger side upper control arm nuts coming loose. Never had a problem with the driver's side. In this video we replace the upper control arm assembly and the lower control arm ball joint in an effort to finally find a remedy for this problem. #squarebodychevy #controlarm #project #welding #diy...
How long does it actually take to weld a patch panel?
Переглядів 3582 місяці тому
The frame swap journey continues on the hot rod truck. Welding is a given when working on rusty trucks. Unfortunately, disappointment is in your future if you underestimate the amount of time it requires. In this video we show, in real time, welding in an upper windshield panel and a floorboard. Also, all of the welding in this video was accomplished with a flux core welder. ua-cam.com/video/Lo...

What started a simple project has snowballed. The more we work on the international pickup the more rust we find. Today we uncover more rust above the windshield. We make a replacement panel from old shelving material with simple tools. studio.ua-cam.com/users/playlistPLH2xo4tt9CmGhaZP1VQdr7P-q-01lagzP/edit #project #welding #diy #rustrepair #partscar #frameswap #engineswaps #harborfreight #met...

Work continues on the International pickup with a Tahoe chassis swap. Started the day thinking that there was a little rust at the bottom of the windshield. I was wrong. We build a patch panel with basic tools and get it welded in. #project #welding #diy #rustrepair #partscar #frameswap #engineswaps #harborfreight #metalshop #sheetmetalrepair #internationaltrucks #tahoe

The International short bed conversion and Tahoe Chassis swapped pickup is finally getting its rusty cab fixed. We also get the floor board patch made. As a bonus, the Harbor Freight throatless shear worked flawlessly.
