    Pablo wasn’t getting to far away when you were applying the linseed oil. He knew a ride was next. Great revival.👍🐶

    Love it that when you were putting the Linseed oil on, Pablo followed your every move. He must have known it was near to test drive time and he wasn't going to let you go without him, smart dog.

    when bought my 1951 four dr belair. found hair in line carb everything. Looked in filler spot no gas cap. pulled off tank ran water thur it found a hairless mouse in it. was all thur fuel system. ekk puts rocks in tank with water. shook around. the car had say at least 20 years. changed plugs all the other stuff it needed. put back on tank after building carb also getting out all that hair blew out the lines. put in my new 6 volt battery. put gas in carb and tank plus new oil filter ect. turned on key hit the starter button it started right up made some rod noise. was a 235 ended up putting in 50 weight and stp it ran great after that. Car had no brakes long time after got it running. Would use emergency brake to stop car. was tricky doing so would pull brake and light switch also to parking lights so could show was brake lights. Then one day sent it up front to main shop at Jerry Talley Ford and got brakes. Warrensburg, MO.

    Ah I remember the last time Trev was on he had some High-Viz kinda jacket on,
    Those copper floats can be saved, don’t throw it, clean it properly with soap and water , let some water in it, heat it up a little and see where the water/steam comes out, and solder the spot where it leaks (after emptying it out) and Bobby’s an uncle!
    Cool story btw
    And did get a déjavu on the paint on that tank, kinda like the rods that you’re going to paint

    Finally get to finish watching. Brass fuel tank floats, submerge in hot water. Watch fot buble’s same for carb floats.
    Pinholes, heat up float and use soldering iron or micro torch.
    Put your gasket punch in a drill, works awesome. Even the metallic exhaust gasket stuff. Carpet and rubber too.
    Washing it was fun to watch. Have you tried the Flood shine juice? Its supposed to last a little longer. Pablo got his ride!👍

    Love your channel , you are a handy guy . I have a suggestion for you with your upholstery work. I realize you mentioned you are self taught ,you do guide well ,but your upholstery work is only missing a couple steps to improve greatly. From what I have seen I think you need to go to an upholstery shop and buy 1/2 inch foam from them to wrap or add to all the pieces you are going to sew together . For example if after you cut your patterns take those pieces and spray adhesive and glue 1/2 inch foam onto them on back of course . Then don’t be afraid to use a straight edge and chalk off few lines and sew through the top and the foam ,then put the pieces together put them on , you will be amazed .the upholstery shops have foam that has a thin fabric laminated to one side which is there to catch the threads when you sew lines or other pattern in it, just by adding those steps you job will look and feel professional. Try it it is worth the effort . Keep up the good work , love your dog

    Well Brent you are pretty good at driving the truck and the drone at the same time through and around the trees. I love those Ford trucks, I got a 1954 Ford F-350 I will be working on next year, just a six cylinder four speed on the floor with a 9' bed and solid body and frame. But needs needs rewired and who knows what else. That truck you were working on started right up, so nice and easy. But the gas tank was gross. Old Pablo is getting getting older, but he still loves his rides in the trucks and gave you a big kiss for it. Till the next one my friend.
