      Matt, I’ve been watching your videos for several years now and I have to be honest with you. I would have to believe that the majority of your subscribers are men, like 90% or more, and seeing you have your Lizzy replacement wearing pink on Wednesday’s was bad enough, especially the hat, but man you have to be smart enough to not wear pink yourself. We watch your show because of your bad to the bone vehicles and your adventures and it seems like you’re evolving to something different. It’s Your show, I’m just a subscriber but I bet I’m not the only guy thinking that. Thanks.

    Matt, the first car I had title to, was a 1962 Corvair 95 window van. I pulled the engine and replaced the clutch. I also rebuilt both carburetors. It never ran on more than 5 cylinders because I had a bad lifter for cylinder 6, and it leaked oil everywhere, but it did run. I paid 30 bucks for it, and sold it for $150.00 to a guy who owned the local garbage dump. He replaced the bad lifter and gave the van to his grandson.

    Don’t worry Matt some of us over here across the pond when measuring understand fraction, decimal and metric. Unfortunately being 70, when I went to school back in the early sixties, we were in some sort of confused transition stage. We had to learn fractions of an inch, which was in use at the time, decimal that was going to be commonly used soon, and then just in case it would be used in the future, which it now is, we had to also learn the metric system. So now I measure something and think about it in all the different units, so to me a quarter inch is 0.25 of an inch or 6.4 mm. My diagrams I make when I’m working out a design is a combination of all three because it might be thinking in fractions, metric or decimal at whatever stage of the design. It can make for some confusing drawings!
    By the way, the pink pants need a pair of pink boots would really set off the ensemble.

    for easy storage of bolts and stuff use red cups and masking tape for labels. you can stack the cups and have things stored neatly in a box until assembly. i did that exact thing when working on semis for 10 years. when sometimes having 3 different brands taken apart you need it organized in a way that dont take up much space. the cups are way more durable than you think .

      @@FYMASMD Oh good grief. How is that in poor taste? Having five or so guys lift something with arms aloft is very much like the famous Iwo Jima flag raise image. It's quite a clever visual comparison actually. They're not equating their momentary struggle to fighting the Japanese, or downplaying the sacrifices made in the Pacific by making the visual comparison to a much-celebrated photograph. It's not an insult to the guys who fought or even the guys who died to say something is visually similar. My Grandpa fought in the Pacific and I'm fairly certain if those guys who died on that island could have been back home working on a car with their friends they would have been. And I'm even more certain that if they knew they were going to be remembered almost 80 years later they'd be ok with that. If anything, I think Iwo Jima and other such sacrifices made by brave men should be cited, mentioned and remembered MORE not LESS. And if done so in everyday settings like workshops and garages where guys work - not just in history classes or on memorial days - all the better. Merely mentioning a thing isn't mocking it. Don't confuse the topic of a 'joke' as the 'target' of it. And in this case there was no target. I mean this is in the nicest possible way, but get over yourself. :)

    Matt at 10:45 reminded me of helping my dad change the clutch in a Falcon. We live in Australia. It was an XW Falcon station wagon.
    We only had the front wheels on ramps on the garage floor. Got rid of the tailshaft, loosened all the bolts to the bell housing then dad
    layed underneath while I pulled the bolts and he had it on his chest. Dad wriggled and I pulled and we got him and the gearbox out from under the car.
    Replaced the clutch and reversed the gearbox procedure. Amazing what you can do when you don't have enough money to do it for you.

    In my neck of the woods, we have alkali clay with a bit of salt in it. You can't leave that in your suspension or undercarriage if you like your rig. It eats everything. The alkalinity causes electrolytic etching of dissimilar metals covered by the clay. To help with this, most private offroad parks have a "bathtub" you can drive into. The tub typically has 3 different depths to cover the different sized rigs. Before going in, a majority of the clay is washed off with low pressure spray bars. These are just powerful enough to knock off the loose clay, but not strong enough to jam clay into places it should not be. Then you pull your rig into the bath, where a slightly acidic cleaner is added to the water, along with some SLA of SLS. Then, a bubbler is activated to agitate the water and knock loose the more stubborn clay. You can let your rig soak for anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on how stupid you drove on the trail. Once done in the bath, it's back to the spray bars for a rinse of your like new undercarriage. I've have this done on a freshly built rig with urethane joints and lithium grease on the urethane. The grease didn't look like it had even been touched,

    7:44 In a three link the only link that supports the axle laterally is the panhard.
    In a four link the triangulation of upper and lower supports the axle laterally.
    Worn joints cause slop and can contribute to death wobble, but that's usually in the drag link or panhard link. In some situations the situation is made worse but insufficient caster angle. You would hear clunking under acceleration (in 4WD) or braking if the three control arm joints had slop because the panhard provides no torsional or longitudinal support of the axle.

    As far as dirt and washing, the US Army did a study that found that too much washing with high pressure water damages vehicles, I am guessing by forcing sand past seals into bearing surfaces. So the Army did away with most of that. You still need to wash the undersides from time to time though.
