  • When Derek from Vice Grip Garage calls and asks if you wanna help do the suspension on and old Ford RatRod pickup what do you do? Well, you jump on a plane and head for Tennessee! This was a wild three and a half day thrash on an 89 year old pickup. Lots of good tech tips for installing a four link and air bag suspension, plenty of laughs, and in the end... A Very Cool Truck.

Derek and Jess have done such an amazing job balancing cartube and parenting the boys....and to know that they consider you as part of the family, that speaks volumes about you and them.

    I can’t believe that Acetylene bottle cooked off like that, has to be the craziest shop mishap I’ve ever seen and I’m glad nobody blew up because the safety valve worked

    • @Fix_It_Again_Tony
      @Fix_It_Again_Tony 24 дні тому

      Yeah, that's serious shit. Acetylene is easy to ignite (second only to hydrogen as far as I know) and the flammability limit is from 2.5 - 83%, very wide. Any mixture in that range is a bomb.
      If you look at the numbers there probably wasn't any real danger. Even my two car garage at 20 x 20 x 10 is 4000 cubic feet. It would take 100 cubic feet of acetylene to reach the 2.5% lower flammability limit. That assumes an even mixture, so potentially it could take less acetylene as it will rise because it's lighter than air, though the are really close in density.
      Derek's shop is huge so that little tank probably wasn't a problem, but I surely wouldn't have waited around. Opening the doors and getting it outside immediately is the right call.
      The MSHA and companies like Air Products have information online about acetylene. It is seriously dangerous above 2.5% in air.

      @peltiereric6497 24 дні тому +2

      @@Fix_It_Again_Tony yeah but it technically could have done what firefighters call a BLEVY or something like that where the safety valve doesn’t work the leak that originally ignited causes the bottle pressure to increase to the failure point which is catastrophic. Modern bottles have a safety valve that allows it to burn off pressure instead of going catastrophic which in this situation is why it continued to burn even though they turned off the main valve because built in safety valve allowed it bleed off the over pressure caused by the bottle heating up

    Best quote you made was on Derek's video. "This is how they did frames in the 60s, 70s and 80s. It's wrong, but it worked" LOL
    And I'm still dying laughing from the turbo can fiasco. Best part is Derek is like "maybe its not noticeable" and you respond "trust me its showing up on camera".....comedy gold!

    When Derek bought that Versailles, the first thing I thought about was the rear axle was probably the best part of the car. Glad it got reused. Great work, Dave...as usual.
