Estonian man can fix/fabricate anything from a hunk of rusty metal and sweat. Foiled by headlight and rubber grommet/gasket. LOL j/k You do amazing work! Keep it up!
Приятель Donn DIY, я тобой горжусь! Я с удовольствием смотрю твои видео! Мне, как технически образованному человеку, очень приятно видеть грамотно организованную работу и исходящий результат! Желаю удачи в техническом творчестве!
Just a heads up. Since the haul is made out of fiberglass, if any of the through bolts/nut holes are suspect bad, you can always use polyester resin and fiberglass mat (CSM and/or 1708 or such) to build up any enlarged hole. And even reinforce the holes to make them more solid and hold perfectly. Just an idea... Thumbs Up!
1:27 I would recommend putting a metal strip behind, which runs over the full length of the plastic piece, so the load can spread better to the plastic - and if you put pressure on the plastic railing, the metal can support it.
Awesome work, I love watching your videos. I have one suggestion - because you left the negative cable so long, it can short to positive side of the battery when someone will unscrew the negative terminal
On that railing repair; It seems another piece of tubing, even pvc, inside the faring, instead of washers, would have increased the strength and rigidity, especially if it ran full length of the affected area. Thx for sharing the project
You can clean up the rusty stains inside that Battery box with Watered-down Acid meant to clean a swimming pool, or Full-Strength Vinegar, or tub and Tile Cleaner for a bathroom - it will take all the gross orange rusty stains right off the black Plastic or Gelcoat Fiberglass
You certainly have patience, I might have (definitely would have) thrown those lights across the workshop 😂😂 Another great video, as always thanks for sharing
if i had to guess as to how many bolts that sand with it together ,,,it would be about 96-98 bolts in total ,,,but its my guess. im planning on getting one for my trapline . iv admired your videos for quite a time now Don . keep up the great work
Nice progress! That's an impressive key you have there. Someone really must have wanted to get it started. My guess is 92 bolts. (If I'm right - which I doubt - let someone else have the plans, I'm just guessing for fun).
'Only' 86 bolts for the circumference. I'm wondering how can you have the patience to deal with the rust episode after episode. And how come haven't you cold welded any of the stainless steel hardware.
I like to watch all of your projects and like the rest I've enjoyed this one too. Especially when they get you to go to silent mode. Does that mean you are using words that are shouldn't be heard? My guess for the nuts and bolts used is 144! Nice going you're doing well rebuilding the Argo.
It seems like the idea for the device was not bad, and more often than not engineers worked on the development rather than managers, but they still produced it as cheaply as possible...
Love your work. Thanks for the great content! I never knew I wanted an Argo until I saw your channel. Lol! That Argo strip sealant looks to be identical to 3M butyl strip caulk. Also, why not new fuel line?? 😮 I guess 86 bolts.
I suggest a motorcycle ignition switch. One off a Harley or similar that doesn’t lock the steering. Or possibly a ride on mower as a car switch won’t live long.

You have rebuilt the Argo in the way it should have been done from the start. Very nice work. Thanks for sharing 👍.
👍💪 it needed 2 more bolts 🔩 than I've got laying around the garage! Would've had to make another trip to the hardware store! 🤬

Loved your editing trick on three minutes fifty seconds. Thanks for letting me being a part of your workshop life.

I really enjoy your content my friend. Please keep it up.
Donn I hope in 40 years I can still watch you create, build, and restore stuff. Really enjoy it, thanks for sharing.
I have waited so long to hear you say it again and you did not disappoint!
Thankyou for sharing with us. 😁

"haul"?
@GWN_Guy LOL

I was thinking the same.
Grommet installation of lights can be a pain in the butt also the back
Super! Danke! 😍🤗
Thank you for sharing always a pleasure watch your video 👍👍👍👍
Awesome work, I love watching your videos.

That's true.
Thanks! 👍💪✌
Good ol M6, never fails brother. Keep fighting.

Поспешай не торопясь..)) С наилучшими пожеланиями..!))

Another great video, as always thanks for sharing
Great job my friend
Got it going your way now Donn, looking really good and waiting to see it at work and play soon. Stay safe and keep up the fun too. Fred.
Always interesting! My husband and I guess 132 bolts. Keep up your great work 😉
124.5 , use silicone spray from Lidli, helps always.. 👀
Those. New threaded inserts are a big improvement.
I ended up using M6 bolts though.👍
Its coming along very nicely !! Very nice work !!👍👍
Amazing effort and great quality video. That must be around 98 nuts and bolts on the shell flange
Great job. Love the series. My guess is 108 nuts and bolts.
Fantastic work 👍👍 My guess is 109 bolt for the marrige off the body 😊
Those holes might have been for a canvas top.
To answer you question it is about 109 anchors to join the upper body and lower body.
thank you ...
It's coming along nicely, good job 👍
Hello Donn looking good well done
I could imagine, before you fixed everything, it being "Hard Starting" but that key is ridiculous!! 🔑🗝🙈😦
The engine and gearbox were taken off when I bought it. I had no chance of trying to start it.😀
78 bolts, great work!!
Great video DONN 👍👍 my guess is 150 nuts and bolts.
Probably 84 to 90 bolts around the outside, 14 to 15 bolts each end & 28 to 30 bolts each side it appeared to be at a guess.
" Hammer Persuasion ".........we call THAT fine adjustment !
great work as always 96 bolts
if i had to guess as to how many bolts that sand with it together ,,,it would be about 96-98 bolts in total ,,,but its my guess. im planning on getting one for my trapline . iv admired your videos for quite a time now Don . keep up the great work
Great work as usual. I always look forward to your posts. My guess is 120 bolts.
Great video
awesome work.
Very enjoyable as per usual.
Well done my friend!
The ignition switch looks like from a tractor mower
Could be cheaper to find
Pretty good videos as always
Cant wait for the final part!
When i counted correct there should be ~95 bolts holding this monstrosity shut
Excelente trabajo y gran vídeo!, muchas gracias por compartirlo!.
My guess for 10:30 would be 80 in total, all the way around the edge.
Realy nice work love your videos
Thank you!
About 80-85 fasteners to hold the two pieces together.
105 bolts to seal top and bottom together
Near as I could count from here it looked like 126 bolts! 😁👍🏻
142 - great job
My guess would be all of them
Like a Glove! 200 screws.
I'd venture to say that there are approx 125 bolts in that upper/lower body mating surface.
Excellent episode, thank you!! 🤩
Question: how did you finally manage getting those front lights in, was there a trick to it?
Sideways, feeding in the seal first on an angle and the pressing the lamp in. Super fiddly operation. 😀
All of them!
145 bolts and nuts around perimeter
Nice progress! That's an impressive key you have there. Someone really must have wanted to get it started.
My guess is 92 bolts. (If I'm right - which I doubt - let someone else have the plans, I'm just guessing for fun).
I hope you don't forget the bottom clamp on the filler neck. 106 bolts
I didn't.👍
I guess you used 110 bolts, great job!!!
327? I have enjoyed this build. Would love to get one.
Love it keep it up as always 💘
Wonder ful job Don hey what happened to the one you made. Im😊 sure yours was better
I still have it in the barn - it needs some work done on it.
I'm guessing 48 bolts to seal the top to the bottom
109 rivets /screws around the perimeter
Have fun with your new vehicle there donn dyi
10:32 My guess is 126 bolts and nuts 🤔
125 is my guess awesome video as usual
94screws
Always good content from you
I guess you used around 86 delightfully stainless steel bolts to seal Argo
Coming together good Donn, have you seen the amphiious Theonomics is building ?
I have, he's doing such an awesome work on it.👍👍👍
I'm guessing 86 nuts-n-bolts for joining the 2 halves.
How many bolts? 125 is my guess. Good Luck with this and your next project.
'Only' 86 bolts for the circumference. I'm wondering how can you have the patience to deal with the rust episode after episode. And how come haven't you cold welded any of the stainless steel hardware.
I'd say 84 bolts used around the edge
Love the Series! Im going to guess there are approximately 104 bolts.
I like to watch all of your projects and like the rest I've enjoyed this one too. Especially when they get you to go to silent mode. Does that mean you are using words that are shouldn't be heard? My guess for the nuts and bolts used is 144! Nice going you're doing well rebuilding the Argo.
@ 15:12 That's what happens when de bloody thing doesn't start 😀
112 screws around the perimeter
120 nuts and bolts?
15:11 Кто-то очень сильно хотел его завести, но он не заводился😂😂😂
21 to 22 on each long side

I guess 86 bolts.
I didn't have a proper new fuel line at hand. The used one looked still okay-ish. I hope I don't burn it down.😀
Nice work! My guess is 84 bolts
There is a special place in hell for the people who decided to have the headlights fit like that!
My guess is 122 bolts. By the way I call it a 'swing press' not hammer persuasion !
👍👍👍
avanzando
LIKE A GLOVE
I suggest a motorcycle ignition switch. One off a Harley or similar that doesn’t lock the steering.
Or possibly a ride on mower as a car switch won’t live long.
My guess would be 89 bolts 😊
Nice job!
