Cracks me up. When you make those comments like, "That's great, glad I am doing this...", it reminds me of too many of my projects. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
The contentment you’re going to feel using this gem on the property in the near future will be off the charts. So happy for you. Thanks for letting us be your first passengers!
Hi Mike. Cable ties make good ‘solder’ for plastic welding ;) Cheers Ray (UK)
Oh good idea!
Baby steps Bud... baby steps!! You're doing a great job!!!
Mike, that ending was priceless! Almost thought you were going to say, why in the hell did on take on this project (Fun, excitement, and learning). But don't worry, just remember the quote from Galaxy Quests, "Never give up, Never surrender!" 👍👍 Relax, your doing a great job. It's just small set backs that are putting you behind. It's not like you have other pending projects waiting in the queue! 😂😂 It's going to be amazing in the end!
The voice over was great. Moving around from nasty to clean 🧼 Thumbs 👍 up
JB Weld. It's what's held my marriage together for 35 years. Lol. Have a great week, Captain.
🤣🤣
For plastic "welding rod", use plastic boxes that store-baked cookies, cake, brownies, and etc come in - go to the bakery aisle. Cut the plastic in strips about 3/16" wide. It's free and you have an excuse to buy the munchies. Also you can use the plastic that tools, toys, and other things are sold in.
Past my bedtime already. Video pops up. Im in to watch. Love the reactions, tactics, words of encouragement to yourself. You're doing great and you make me laugh.
Captain Kleeman when you haul the first load , the ISS will see your smile .😁😁😁😁
💪
She’s getting there! It always takes longer than you expect to Frankenstein a Truck 🛻!
Thanks Mike! I look forward to the day when you have a 100 x 200’ dry, heated shop to work in. Until then, we all feel for you working in the rain. 😊
Me too! Lol
*Tip* for your plastic/wood burner...😂 if you do need to add something to the plastic (because, let's face it, sometimes the pieces are not always there to replace) you can use zipties as an additive to whatever plastic piece you are needing. Found they work great. Also, *second* pro tip, if you need to reinforce the said broken plastic, you can use an "old school" soldering iron with a trigger, the kind with two probes and kinda looks like a gun, with some paper clips and melt the paperclips into to plastic first then cut off the excess and smooth it out after. I know that sounds confusing, so look up plastic reinforcement welder, and you can get an idea of what I mean and maybe you have one hanging around, and you won't have to buy the ones for sale.
Love this project, you're doing great. Keep up the awesome work
Hi Mike. You gotta give yourself a pat on the back for keeping working on and making progress on the ole dump truck. For being number 15 down on your project list, I would say you're doing pretty good!
I own a plastic welder and what I have learned is different plastics have a identifying number on them . Beyond that I have learned that using stainless mesh or screen patches welded into broken pieces reinforce the weld area .keep up the good work !
Thanks for the tips!
Yep, mother said there’d be days like this. Just not so many in a row, please. Good progress in spite of the rain and frustration!
💪
My wife says Kleeman is a bad influence. Bad Company I can’t deny. Love the videos.
The audacity 🤣
"I'm glad I'm doing this" words to keep you motivated when you take on projects that others won't or cant... keep up the good work. Enjoy watching you process your thoughts and put them into action
Ah yes, you've reached that point we all get to where you have other things you'd rather be doing, and setbacks become super frustrating. It will get better. You'll feel more motivated once you see that cab bolted back in place.
The amount of effort you’re putting into this project makes me feel I’d buy this truck over a brand new one any day. Excellent work, great progress so far Mike. Thank you for another great episode 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
You're not a jewelry shop, but you have one hell of an ultrasonic cleaner.😂.
That was by far your best intro ever. Cant ever find "sh*t" is my motto when stepping away from a project and coming back and I am organized better than most.
Love your “commentary” Mike. You are so cool. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
😊I’m glad you’re doing it too 😉
cant believe you got the cab on by yourself.nice job
I feel your pain, I spend about half of my time hiding stuff from myself and the other half searching for the stuff that I hid.
Great video with your sense of humor, Johnny Cash one piece at a time. See you on the next one.
The voiceover around the plastic weld gave me Red Green Show vibes (in a good/funny way). Awesome to see this project continuing! Looking forward to the truck being a regular character like the 555.
Love red green!
I love your channel,love the fact that your family values keep up the great work.
hey btw while you have the interior taken apart I suggest you spray glue some carpet insulation or foam in the under the panels and in the doors onto the roof too and in the corners of the cab it's where most of the noise comes from specially on gravel roads with the rocks hitting it really quiets down the entire thing and it's really cheap to do for a big improvement
Enjoyable video Mike. Lots of visible progress now that everything is in assembly mode rather than breakdown. Soon be a really useful addition to the homestead.
Getting excited for sure
Keep the faith, Mike! Great fun for us watching though, thanks!
Looking good!! Can’t wait for you to haul the first load with it.
Stay safe!!
For the ultra sonic cleaner: don't fill the tub with your cleaner, put the parts in a jar (plastic or glass) then put the cleaner in the jar. Place the jar into the water. It keeps the water cleaner for longer and you use less cleaner. Also easier to clean the basin out. For larger parts, but heavy duty zip lock bags. This allows you to use multiple cleaners on different parts at one time instead of waiting.
You can also line the basin to help with keeping it clean.
Kleeman Khronikles continue....good progress made on the ole truck. One piece of advice.....that little guy you have in the video who stars in your time lapse moments.....give that guy a raise and also use him to help you spot when you are lowering that truck body on the chassis! 😀 Great channel, great content.
Hello Mike. With everything that you do, you gain more experience towards your certification in something. Have good days!
Well Mike,
You just keep plugging along.👌
I know how frustrating it can be when you can't sh....... the shifter...... and when life happens with stuff goung on and the you try to get back to a project and remember what you were doing and that darn shhhhhifter went, especially when the Fubaru runs off with it.😂
I appreciate you.🤙
Glad to see you used the gloss paint instead of flat. Gloss is good for and additional 5 hp. 🐶
🤣🤣
You can put locktite over the anti seal! Why not get a cheap steam presser washer they come in diesel heater and either gas or electric preferably 240!
Ultrasonic Cleaner FTW, they even get in the bits you cant see :)
Your shop has certainly became a true asset,great job!!!
you crack me up! you should have a million subscribers. wishing you the best !
Kleeman: "I'm not sure if this is going to work or not."
Me: Is he going to narrow that down some?
🤣🤣
Cap’n I think you’re onto something! As much as people worry and comment about scratched paint and a little bit of rust…. Surely using ‘High Performance’ paint is gonna add a few horse power to the build. Good thinking bud!!!
We’re seeing a few redbuds open up here…. Spring is near… thank goodness.
Same here! The peach trees we planted last year have some buds as well.
Using simple Cascade in the sonic cleaner is a must. Plus using just 99+% industrial isopropyl alcohol in it is great for cleaning electronics and any electric tools like drills, impac drivers without the batteries auto parts alternator's, distributor etc.
OHHH SNAP!!! The ole Ford truck be testing the nerve ends a bit, just walk away for a spell, throw some things around shake your fist at the sky and move on to the next battle. Maybe have that second cup of coffee don't be getting hangry (hunger+angry) have a candy bar or protein bar handy. Keep em coming we can't wait to see the next one.
Cable ties - Zip ties work very well for plastic welding.
For stronger plastic welds heat up regular staples red hot with a bottle torch and stick em in the plastic across the joints.
My experience with ultrasonic cleaner is they work really well with heat and time. If you let a part sit with heat on but no ultrasonic overnight then hit ultrasonic for an hour in the morning it will be practically spotless. Rust, paint everything. I use about half citrus degreaser from Home Depot, half water and a decent splash of dish soap.
Sitting here watching you working on gravel in the rain thinking I could do all of that work if I had a full shop with a hoist. 😉
You’re definitely killing it Mike. It will be great when it’s done but you might just miss your Ides of March deadline Brutus.
It's just getting better and better ,nuf said
Hey Cap'n, when u plastic weld use zip ties as filler material works great 🙃👍
You can use zip ties to weld plastic together
Heading the right direction!
It's awesome to see this thing coming together!! Almost there!🎉
I always get or bring home my set of chopsticks when I go out to a Chinese restaurant, they are great for mixing epoxy
Ready for that build to take a Dump. 😂❤
I am betting you have plastic welding rods, they are called zip ties in other worlds. LMAO
Good morning captain! Truck is taking shape! And I really like that color you used on the motor! Sharp ! That's going to be one sharp unit when done! And thanks for the laughs! Your a comedic wizard ha!
Love the channel, thank you for no music during time lapse.
MIKE, you definitely keep it interesting. I have to say you're getting closer.
Carry on Capt'n!
@Captain Kleeman pro tip, lol. If you need plastic for filler on your plastic welds, plastic inner fender splash shields melt nicely. Cut them into 1/8" - 1/4" wide strips to make them easier to use.
Thanks for the tip!
I like the blue valve covers.
I'm a diehard subscriber I would watch you twiddle your thumbs along with your half witted banter😂. The build is looking great.
Great show the different projects you do and have a hand at all of them
hello Mike & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Mike & Friends Randy
You definitely need to put that push bumper off the tow truck onto the new truck. !!!
Good.job cool truck Ford good show 👍👍👏👏👏👏
You have no idea how what you are doing resonates with me, work with what you have, and what you have, make it work. Fun series to watch, enjoying and appreciating your efforts as well.
To avoid having exhaust leaks you should get a set of long tube headers
Good morning Captain Kleeman
Try using plastic tie straps for plastic welding repairs. Most times it has worked great.
Your doing just fine, a one man band and never lost any brass doing it.... at least as far as we know. Keep it going boss. I am truly fascinated now... actually it perked my interest as soon as you went ford on the show. They were the poor mans cadillac in their time
loved the voice over/time lapse. Get to see the details, but loose the boredom of twisting bolts
Love your channel, thanks for doing what you do.
💪
Coming along Captain!!!! Great job 👍💪
Depending on the plastic you can use a plastic coat hanger for your rod.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Great video and format, if it works for you it’s great for us. I think everyone who actually does things suffers from CFS “Can’t Find Stuff”. On occasion, the only true way to avoid is to stop doing things, wouldn’t recommend that. Just wait as you get older you will start to suffer from CRS, “Remember”, don’t worry to much, thankfully your married and she will remember all the important facts for you, just don’t forget she’s always correct. You might swear differently but it’s not worth the mental anguish to win battles and loose the war. Sorry I didn’t comment when you asked about the ultrasonic cleaners, yes buy as big as you can afford and then get one bigger. My one experience was when I thought I bought a huge one and it was barely big enough for a pair of glasses. 😂 looking forward to seeing your build progress, wishing you and your family the best.
Just think of the character you get to build up doing this. Some rich kid would just go out and buy a brand new truck and let daddy pay for it and learn nothing from the process except that he would get the impression that life is easy. Hang in their Captain. You'll be a better man in the end.
Great job Mike, project is coming along nicely appreciate the video 👍🏻
Doing one heck of a job on this. Love your inovationand work around. Keep up the great work.
Between the sonic clearer and sand blaster. The bi red solvent tank is what gets used the most.
You can use zip ties for plastic rods when plastic welding.
Yet another excellent video in this series, having done a bit of custom auto work myself i definitely feel your pain. Youll get there soon enough and then promptly your brain will forget all about the pain
Looking good Mike
We have always used zip ties as plastic “welding rods”, just feed zip ties in your hot plastic if you need more material to work with.
What brand ties have the best strength? 🤣. I'll definitely give that a go. Thanks Chris!
Looking good Kleeman!!! Way too be meticulous. 👍👍
Like your work and sence of humor 😂
Kudos on your frustration level! We all could learn to be a little more patient in life! Great video! Love'n the build! Thanks Mike! Lee
Pretty soon it'll be ready for Pebble Beach.
When I do a water pump or timing cover with a bunch of different lengths, I draw the cover with a Sharpie on the box and poke holes with a utility knife where each bolt goes.
That way, as each one comes out I know which length goes is what position. 💡
If the parts store doesn't like holes in their core box, tell them to f off and find a better store.
I have a small one and boy do they work. Love mine for Jewelry and tools. Have to be cautious on Jewelry if they are painted or shaded with color in patterns - it will shake it out. Love mine. Simple Green I use and not much else. Mine is a sweeping frequency heated version. Optional in real time. Switches.
Definitely proving to be handy. Thanks for watching!
Don't sell yourself short as you phone a friend that can point you in the right direction!
My brother bought a little sonic cleaner at harbor freight, works great on the old Kohler carburetors
I was just going to comment that zip ties make great filler plastic for welding, but a few people beat me to it. You don't even need new ones, the old ones you cut off or the end you trim off to make it look nice works too.
Gonna start collecting them like welding rods I guess lol
This is such a great series, keep up the great work & Humour, just love it !
Thanks!
Coming along alright
What I have seen many folk on youtube doing is filling the cleaner with water and putting the parts in a bag with the solvent to make life easier in the future when needing to change solvent and cleaning the ultrasonic cleaner. Also means you can use different types of solvents or detergents on the same day
TAKIN SHAPE, IT CAN BE A BIT OF A PAIN, HANG IN THERE MAN
Try to fit the transmision cross member brackets that bolt to the top frame rail on. It will make your frame alot stronger. :)
If I can track some down. If not, it'll ride
