    Hello Hello From Canada!!! That area that you added the mounting brackets is probably the strongest area on the whole frame with all the breaks, mods, chopping here and cutting there that has been done over that poor truck's life. I love the entire setup you created and I think it looks like a mechanical sculpted work of art, which has made me really look forward to seeing more episodes on the channel. I hope you stay safe, stay healthy and are as happy as you possibly can be in all your future endeavors.

    I'm stoked to see this truck done more than any other project. This is the top of my list for projects I want to build in my lifetime. I hope I can get there one day.
    Would love to see some tasteful, old school pinstriping on it with the OG pinstripe Vice Grip Garage logo on the doors.

    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 5 місяців 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 5 місяців 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

    I've never been much of a dirt guy so Dave never really got on my radar. Lately I've seen him doing some impressive fabrication on other's projects and between the work he does and the way he comes across on camera I've become a fan. Watching him with Derek amounts to watching the two nicest guys on UA-cam doing their thing.

    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.
