  • We fully restored a vintage go kart van with a modern engine, steering and much more! The van was restored to look like an O'Reilly Auto Parts go kart and with the help of CW wraps in Post Falls Idaho we nailed it! #OReillyPowered

      Thanks for letting some great UA-camrs get involved in giving you some great Advertising videos. Not only do grind hard do some Amazing work with what ever they put there hands on they bring great videos for us to watch. Just like puddings fab shop who was in the group picture at the convention. He also did a great video Advertising for you on his channel. And that was great to walking around your store.
      THANKS AGAIN ❤

      Sounds like O'Reilly should supply GHPC with an endless supply of blinker fluid, but don't forget to ask if it has AC before looking up part number.

    I'm surprised you guys havent made a heat exchanger for the woodstove yet and run hoses to a radiator on the opposite end of the shop with a fan. I'm sure you have all the stuff around the shop somewhere to rig somethin up. Would help keep it a lot warmer i'd think, better utilization of the heat you're already making. Maybe like a few dozen feet of copper tube wrapped around the chimney, or even just something to sit flat on top of the firebox

    • @fellenXD
      @fellenXD Рік тому +2

      Just a couple of those peltier fans on top would probably help a lot.
      Though, building a heat exchanger and feeding a big tank of water would be pretty baller. That would stay warm for hours after thefire is out.

      I was looking at my 'account' to see if I could send them a couple "heat activated fans" and realized I may want a hamburger cooked at a store instead,and decided a loaf of bread for my bologna was best.They need Will to do his 'push-ups' in front of the heater instead...

    it is currently 85 degrees in arizona as I'm watching this, I'm amazed that its still so cold where yall are at, but as someone whos done race car and fiberglass/composite work for 3 1/2 years before i got injured, you seem to have done a pretty good job doing a nice quick patches and repairs on the body. Using the tape as a backing is something i had to learn on my own to bridge simple holes but you seem to have thought about using that way faster than i did, when you do that though its always best to do a nice wet down of resin on the tape/area before you lay the glass down to prevent the air bubbles you got. All in all, 8/10, good job.

    Aloha Ethan. This episode was a tad nostalgic for me when I heard "20 below zero". Wife and I are Hawaiians that as newlyweds wanted to try a change of scenery so of all places we chose McCall, Idaho which at the time (1981) was a sleepy little town of 2000. Our Hawaiian winters get down to a bone-chilling 60 degrees in January. I remember it getting down to 20 below zero in the dead of winter in McCall, but we were very well acclimated so evening walks in 20 below temps were enjoyable as long as we didn't breathe too hard, and freeze our throats. McCall I believe now has a population of 14,000, so not as sleepy or little as back then. Mahalo nui for a walk down memory lane. 😉🤙
