It was a good time hanging out and working on the car with you. Your filming process is impressive. You get so much done on the car, all the while moving the camera and creating dialog. I can't wait to see what you do with the bender!
wow you guys sure are brave with only the bottom sills taking all the bending moment front to back. I would have stiffened the structure with a 2x4 at the top of the door and maybe on the body centerline. That is a lot of pressure on those sills think of it like a torque wrench head in the middle of the sill and the lifting point being the handle. If you see cracking at the strong points at the front or back door jams are you might want to drop it back down.
I like the fact that you came up with a creative solution to solve an issue........... while hanging off a rafter and hammering poles into place with a larger pole... I mean, that's true mechanic thinking right there! I may have to install something like this in the hanger.....
@robertlugo3388 If you were to rig a square frame made out of steel channel like you hung from the rafters, or even 2x4s, attach it under the body to relieve the stress on those weak points between the doors and release the weight on the fenders. when you guys cranled it up from the back, you can see the door closure being stressed and the top portion of the door opening shorten slightly. Make the frame to fit under the body with extended points to hoist from, you essentially lift it from the same area of the 4 points, but the body would be supported by the temporary frame. Yes, reattaching the body would be a bit more complicated, but at least it would be nearer the ground level when you detach it. Something to think about, since theare are so few of those cars around, the less janky you can make the lift, the less likely there will be one less of these cars around in the future.
Dude that's the exact method I use when storing things in my garage rafters. Perfectly acceptable by OSHA.. I would be hesitant about it folding at the door openings. Not much material from front to back in that area. Best of luck on this one rookie.
Washed, all that needs to be replaced out..start with a clean slate. It wont take big power to move that thing quickly. So much can be done to make it really cool! Seeing great mags & fresh tires on a frame inspires whats to follow.
Don't know if you've noticed, but the body is starting to sag at the door sills. Don't leave it sagging like that for too long or you will have a two-piece body.
Instead of relying on the rope, once in place you should put chains up to carry the load. The rope could break and the pulleys could also come apart. It’s harbor freight, you wanna count on that?
Hi Angel creative solution to the problem. Looks like the wiring will be a redundant nightmare. But maybe once you get started it’ll be not too bad. Stay cool
Super sketchy! Adding support to the under-door areas, especially at the back, would be much safer. It seems like the body is being stressed at those points and may crack over time. Good luck!
The barn that my buddy owned was of timber frame construction. The crazy lifts we did with block and tackle🙄
Block and tackle! Thats the right name lol

I can't wait to see what you do with the bender!
Nothing sketchy here. Just the way real people work 🤪
"If it wasn't sketchy then we wouldnt be working on cars would we?" Is the new slogan 🤣
Dude that applies most when me and you are doing anything 😂
I'm a simple man: I see the paint get scratched I give a thumbs up
I respect that 🫡
Safety 3rd
Since the stable/marina now has a new chandelier, maybe Karen can add some fairy lights for ambiance.
...and a successful lift completed by the Jankmaster 1600 Body and Spider Lift! Great job, guys! Every janky car deserves a Jankmaster!

You need a sign! " We have had to do so much with so little that we are now able to do almost anything with nothing!"
Angel's Autobody and Glassworks!
oh lawd, I just spent 35min teaching kids how to do a bowline. heheh.
This starts just like an America's funniest home videos clip
😂
All right, subscribed to the foodcake. The Glaspar is fascinating, and in real need of an update. Probably best to just chop off all the wiring...
Yeah, pretty much the plan. Safer and easier.
Step by step. That wiring is a rats nest for sure. It will be a special one of a kind when done though.
Angel can you pressure wash the whole thing before you get started?.

It's actually reinforced along the jambs, but there may be a couple more pulleys in the future

I like your next Mentor Angel
The beer keg for a gas tank is the cherry on top!
The body weighs 300# max. Each block and tackle is rated at 440#. That should give us 1460# of spare capacity.
I hope
I noticed you’ve been taking narration lessons from Sarah. Good for you. 👍
That was HIGHLY entertaining!! hahaha...
I can't wait to see that wiring come out.. and the clean-up get underway!
Angel this will be n awesome project 👏👏👏 a great contrast with Scrapstang (whicch is fantastic) ....rhe G2 wiring omfg 😳😳😂😂
GOOD JOB!
Great work Angel & Robert

Today I learned about stravenues 😆

Wiring looks overly complicated. Cheers! 😎👍🏎🏁🏁🔌💡
Surprised you didn’t crack the rockers because it sure looks like it needs support at the doors
scary lol i'd get some really heavy dity ratchet straps and secure the body just to be safe that rope looks a bit light for the job angel
Just remember your hard hat.
Time to do some sketchy chit, do dah do dah, hope we get away with it......
Super sketchy! Adding support to the under-door areas, especially at the back, would be much safer. It seems like the body is being stressed at those points and may crack over time. Good luck!
I wonder if Sarah would love that wire mess... 🤭
Tube Notcher.
You need Sarah to sort out the wiring!
I think we’ll be okay 👍🏻
👊👍
What is the frame from? I think you mentioned in a prior video...but I dont recall
It's a custom frame for the Glasspar, made by a man named Shorty Post. I understand he was a land speed racer
@@robertlugo3388 that's impressive, so many of these kits relied on a donor.
If my DDR body is any indicator.... I would say that body should not be over 200lbs
😎🍺👍🇦🇺
First!
Dam Youre quick! 😂
