truck. 207 00:08:01,467 --> 00:08:03,000 We're going to start with replacing 208 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,367 the whole straight axle with independent front suspension. 209 00:08:06,367 --> 00:08:08,166 So first things first on that 210 00:08:08,166 --> 00:08:11,100 is building the lower part of the frame, 211 00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:14,200 which the control arms and everything mount to. 212 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,667 That's the whole crossmember 213 00:08:15,667 --> 00:08:17,767 that's going to support the weight of the engine 214 00:08:17,767 --> 00:08:21,200 and have attaching points for all the suspension. 215 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,000 So it's a critical part of the build 216 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,867 is getting that right in the right spot, the right level, 217 00:08:25,867 --> 00:08:27,500 the right wheel base. 218 00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:29,467 There's a lot of things you've got to figure on 219 00:08:29,467 --> 00:08:31,533 when putting this crossmember in. 220 00:08:43,867 --> 00:08:45,066 Let's see if this works. 221 00:08:47,367 --> 00:08:49,467 We're swapping out the existing power plant 222 00:08:49,467 --> 00:08:52,066 for a 4BT Cummins on the '31 Ford. 223 00:08:54,266 --> 00:08:56,400 This diesel engine's way bigger than 224 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,600 what came stop 93 years ago. 225 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,967 But it's going to give old Max a lot more power. 226 00:09:03,667 --> 00:09:06,233 So I asked Jamie to get it in and let's get it mounting. 227 00:09:12,166 --> 00:09:13,333 [Jamie] Don't let it hit that firewall. 228 00:09:14,066 --> 00:09:15,333 [Ryan] Yeah, right there. 229 00:09:15,967 --> 00:09:16,967 [Bill] Power it up. 230 00:09:16,967 --> 00:09:17,934 [Ryan] Barely. 231 00:09:19,867 --> 00:09:20,767 How's that? 232 00:09:20,767 --> 00:09:23,333 [Jamie] That's pretty workable now. 233 00:09:24,266 --> 00:09:25,500 You can see the size of this engine. 234 00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:26,467 It's huge. 235 00:09:26,467 --> 00:09:27,266 I wouldn't doubt if it weighed 236 00:09:27,266 --> 00:09:28,900 more than their truck itself right now. 237 00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:30,567 We're going to have to take a few things off of it 238 00:09:30,567 --> 00:09:31,934 just to get it shoehorned in here. 239 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,300 Once we do that, we can put everything back on, 240 00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:39,567 lift the truck up, put the motor on the stand, 241 00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:43,967 kind of shift around to get it exactly where we want it. 242 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000 Now we're at that point 243 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,667 where we're going to do motor mounts on it. 244 00:09:47,667 --> 00:09:49,100 Come this side. 245 00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:51,467 so we can connect it to the frame. 246 00:09:51,467 --> 00:09:53,333 Once we do that, this thing ain't going to move nowhere. 247 00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:08,367 This is a lot of motor in this truck. 248 00:10:08,367 --> 00:10:10,000 This is a 4BT. 249 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,767 These things are known for how much torque they got. 250 00:10:12,767 --> 00:10:14,333 It's going to pull this truck around, no problem. 251 00:10:21,567 --> 00:10:24,500 All right, that's four anchor points I got now. 252 00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:27,367 Everything's tacked up, nice and solid, you know. 253 00:10:27,367 --> 00:10:29,900 We've got bushings in all four of our anchor points. 254 00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:31,233 That's our motor mounts right there. 255 00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:48,100 It's wild to look at the original suspension 256 00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:50,000 on the '31 Ford. 257 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,567 It worked at the time, but compared to the air suspension 258 00:10:52,567 --> 00:10:53,567 that we're building now, 259 00:10:53,567 --> 00:10:56,000 the ride's just going to be a whole lot smoother. 260 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,533 Engineering's come a long way since 1931. 261 00:11:05,166 --> 00:11:06,467 [Jamie] I'm going to go ahead and start building 262 00:11:06,467 --> 00:11:07,467 the lower control arm. 263 00:11:08,567 --> 00:11:09,900 Do both at the same time. 264 00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:11,367 Once you get that established, we'll go ahead 265 00:11:11,367 --> 00:11:12,834 and start building the uppers. 266 00:11:15,166 --> 00:11:16,767 So I got my jig all square, 267 00:11:16,767 --> 00:11:18,700 so my next step is go ahead 268 00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:19,700 and start putting pipes 269 00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:21,934 into my makeshift arm. 270 00:11:22,867 --> 00:11:25,166 This is just temporary right here 271 00:11:25,166 --> 00:11:28,266 to hold my lower ball joint in. 272 00:11:28,266 --> 00:11:29,967 I have my angle set the way it is, 273 00:11:29,967 --> 00:11:32,200 so I can actually tack this on there, pull these off. 274 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,667 Nothing moves. 275 00:11:33,667 --> 00:11:35,066 I know everything's still square. 276 00:11:38,066 --> 00:11:41,033 Once those are done, everything's stitched on here. 277 00:11:43,667 --> 00:11:44,834 That's going to be our lower control arm. 278 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,500 Okay, so I got the lowers on. 279 00:11:56,500 --> 00:11:57,767 Everything's welded out. 280 00:11:57,767 --> 00:11:59,066 Both sides done. 281 00:11:59,066 --> 00:12:00,166 Next step is go ahead 282 00:12:00,166 --> 00:12:01,333 and start doing the upper control arm. 283 00:12:02,867 --> 00:12:05,066 [Bill] See what's over the bottom of this thing. 284 00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:08,900 Then we got a pretty unique situation right here. 285 00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:10,700 We're working around a big wheel, 286 00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:13,000 a late model spindle. 287 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,266 The fender curves not only one way, 288 00:12:15,266 --> 00:12:17,000 it curves a lot the other way. 289 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,500 So we're really limited on our space and location 290 00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:22,166 of all the pivot points. 291 00:12:23,166 --> 00:12:25,467 So what we had to do is move the pivot point 292 00:12:25,467 --> 00:12:26,967 back way out of the way, 293 00:12:26,967 --> 00:12:30,000 out of line with the fender bracket. 294 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,266 So we had to make this weird offset control arm 295 00:12:33,266 --> 00:12:37,166 that's upside down to make all the geometry work correctly 296 00:12:37,166 --> 00:12:39,867 on this car with this big wheel, this big spindle. 297 00:12:42,767 --> 00:12:44,333 Yeah! 298 00:12:51,266 --> 00:12:52,800 We're going to go ahead and weld this out 299 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,000 and then get it mocked up underneath the front end 300 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,367 and make sure everything clears. 301 00:12:56,367 --> 00:12:57,767 Then we can start playing with our 302 00:12:57,767 --> 00:12:58,900 upper control arm mounting point 303 00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:00,433 to get that camber right. 304 00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:05,166 It's pretty unique to this suspension. 305 00:13:05,166 --> 00:13:07,767 It's a little bit backwards from the way we normally work, 306 00:13:07,767 --> 00:13:11,133 but that's what we do around here. 307 00:13:11,967 --> 00:13:13,166 Roll with the punches. 308 00:13:13,166 --> 00:13:15,467 If there's an obstacle in the way, we work around it, 309 00:13:15,467 --> 00:13:18,166 make it work, and that's exactly what we're doing here. 310 00:13:30,467 --> 00:13:33,600 The next step on this is building the bag mount itself. 311 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,867 So that's basically building a shelf 312 00:13:36,867 --> 00:13:40,066 right off of the crossmember that holds the airbag 313 00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:43,400 and a mount on the bottom of the control arm. 314 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,166 So you shoot air into it, 315 00:13:45,166 --> 00:13:47,300 it pushes that control arm down, 316 00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:48,634 lifts the truck right up. 317 00:13:54,467 --> 00:13:57,600 [Jamie] Okay, so we got our upper bag mount completed. 318 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,867 Got everything welded in, the gussets. 319 00:13:59,867 --> 00:14:02,467 Everything looks really good on that. 320 00:14:02,467 --> 00:14:05,834 The next thing is go ahead and put our shock on. 321 00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:11,567 Gonna go mock everything up. 322 00:14:11,567 --> 00:14:15,800 Once I mock everything up, I'll make one side, 323 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:16,967 then I'll go ahead and make the other, 324 00:14:16,967 --> 00:14:18,333 weld them out at the same time. 325 00:14:22,567 --> 00:14:23,634 [exhales] That's hot. 326 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,467 You know, this is a lot to figure out. 327 00:14:34,467 --> 00:14:36,800 Keeping with tradition, old Max right here, 328 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,600 we went ahead and kept the stock frame. 329 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,800 So it was a little bit of a challenge 330 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,166 to go ahead and build the components 331 00:14:41,166 --> 00:14:42,934 to this type of frame. 332 00:14:43,700 --> 00:14:45,867 But we got everything together, 333 00:14:45,867 --> 00:14:46,967 and it's looking real good.

outer rails 635 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,600 that we took off the original bed 636 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,300 back onto the new rails. 637 00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:06,100 So everything will look the same, 638 00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:07,700 we'll just end up with a wider bed 639 00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:09,266 to cover those new wheels and tires. 640 00:31:09,266 --> 00:31:11,433 Let's get the other side on real quick. 641 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:13,800 It's probably good. 642 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,100 Hey, Dustin, why don't you just grab that side? 643 00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:18,634 Jamie, you weld this side. 644 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,200 Once we have this on, 645 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,367 the stakes will fit all back in place, 646 00:31:23,367 --> 00:31:25,467 everything retaining the original look. 647 00:31:25,467 --> 00:31:26,967 The only thing we'll have to do 648 00:31:26,967 --> 00:31:28,967 is add new pieces of bed wood. 649 00:31:28,967 --> 00:31:31,967 Other than that, it's pretty much a factory-style bed. 650 00:31:31,967 --> 00:31:34,567 [Jamie] So, what we've done right here is we repurposed our uprights. 651 00:31:34,567 --> 00:31:36,767 You know, it actually goes right on the side of the bed like this, 652 00:31:36,767 --> 00:31:37,967 and our wood slats go in there. 653 00:31:37,967 --> 00:31:40,266 We had to move 'em since we added on the bed. 654 00:31:40,266 --> 00:31:43,100 So, what we did is clean 'em all up, 655 00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:45,100 tack some plates on 'em. 656 00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:46,900 So once we get these back from powder coat, 657 00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:48,800 throw some paint on 'em, bolt 'em up, 658 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,400 all we'll have to do is throw on some longer wood, 659 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,166 we'll be good as gold. 660 00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:05,467 [Bill] I knew we were gonna have to make some room 661 00:32:05,467 --> 00:32:08,000 for the new Cummins diesel on the '31 Ford, 662 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,467 but it would be totally worth it 663 00:32:09,467 --> 00:32:11,634 for all the power that's gonna add to this truck. 664 00:32:14,166 --> 00:32:16,767 You know, we had to cut this out for the Front Runner kit. 665 00:32:16,767 --> 00:32:19,767 Jessie cut us a frame, so what I'm gonna do now is, 666 00:32:19,767 --> 00:32:22,000 go ahead and take the excess off here 667 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,433 so we can weld the frame on. 668 00:32:24,867 --> 00:32:26,400 I have to get the frame established, 669 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,900 then I can go ahead and start filling back in 670 00:32:27,900 --> 00:32:30,634 with my sheet metal and get the design that I want. 671 00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:35,767 Okay, so we just got our metal frame in, tacked up. 672 00:32:35,767 --> 00:32:37,634 We're gonna actually make a vent right there. 673 00:32:39,266 --> 00:32:41,667 So, we made a quick template of board, 674 00:32:41,667 --> 00:32:44,266 just to make an outline of what we kinda wanna do. 675 00:32:44,266 --> 00:32:46,467 It's just a a good reference. 676 00:32:46,467 --> 00:32:49,266 So I'm gonna transfer this to sheet metal. 677 00:32:49,266 --> 00:32:51,266 Once it's transferred to sheet metal, 678 00:32:51,266 --> 00:32:52,934 bring over band saw, cut it out. 679 00:32:54,166 --> 00:32:55,467 Make some bends. 680 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:58,867 Maybe refine it. 681 00:33:01,367 --> 00:33:02,600 Kind of fit it. 682 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,200 Once we get it right how we want it, 683 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,166 we'll go ahead and tack that up 684 00:33:06,166 --> 00:33:07,734 and start metalworking it. 685 00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:17,767 What we're gonna do next is go ahead and start blowing this truck apart. 686 00:33:17,767 --> 00:33:19,667 Yep, yep, yep, yep. 687 00:33:19,667 --> 00:33:21,467 You know, we'll take this cowl off, 688 00:33:21,467 --> 00:33:23,200 gonna take the fenders off, the cab, 689 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,834 everything completely off. 690 00:33:25,567 --> 00:33:26,867 Everybody watch everything. 691 00:33:26,867 --> 00:33:28,266 Then we'll get the frame down on the ground 692 00:33:28,266 --> 00:33:29,767 with the cab up in the air on the lift. 693 00:33:29,767 --> 00:33:31,834 Then we'll go ahead and send everything out for powder coat and paint. 694 00:33:53,900 --> 00:33:55,400 We got the Maxwell truck pulled apart. 695 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,367 We got the motor out of the chassis. 696 00:33:57,367 --> 00:34:00,367 Get this bad boy over to the body shop so they can get it painted. 697 00:34:00,367 --> 00:34:01,734 Then we'll get it all back together. 698 00:34:05,066 --> 00:34:07,867 We have the diesel engine from the Maxwell truck. 699 00:34:07,867 --> 00:34:09,967 First thing I will need to do 700 00:34:09,967 --> 00:34:12,467 is go ahead and base it with a dark gray sealer, 701 00:34:12,467 --> 00:34:14,066 which I already did. 702 00:34:14,066 --> 00:34:16,200 And then we will go with this color orange, 703 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,900 matching some of the orange that's on the truck already, 704 00:34:18,900 --> 00:34:20,367 so it'll blend in with everything 705 00:34:20,367 --> 00:34:22,133 once it's put back on the frame. 706 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,767 [Louis] So we're working on the bed wood 707 00:34:35,767 --> 00:34:37,266 for the Maxwell House truck, 708 00:34:37,266 --> 00:34:38,867 and we're gonna get it all prepped. 709 00:34:38,867 --> 00:34:41,166 It's really important that you use the same grit. 710 00:34:41,166 --> 00:34:43,367 We want everything to be nice and uniform 711 00:34:43,367 --> 00:34:44,900 when we apply the stain. 712 00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:47,700 So this is really the most important step 713 00:34:47,700 --> 00:34:50,634 before applying any type of color to the wood. 714 00:34:56,700 --> 00:34:58,667 All right, so I figured it'd be cool 715 00:34:58,667 --> 00:35:00,667 since we're doing the Maxwell House truck, 716 00:35:00,667 --> 00:35:04,266 we use the coffee beans to try to color the stain. 717 00:35:04,266 --> 00:35:07,600 So as you can tell, this color is really coming out perfect, 718 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,166 and it smells awesome. [chuckles] 719 00:35:10,166 --> 00:35:12,400 Let's take a look and see what we've got here. 720 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,266 Back in the day, teas and coffees 721 00:35:14,266 --> 00:35:16,700 were used to naturally color wood, 722 00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:18,467 so this will be a really neat experiment. 723 00:35:18,467 --> 00:35:21,266 I'm gonna go ahead and add our stain base, 724 00:35:21,266 --> 00:35:24,500 and this'll just make sure everything gets evened out. 725 00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:25,767 It looks like creamer. 726 00:35:26,667 --> 00:35:28,967 So, I'm gonna add some of our just, 727 00:35:28,967 --> 00:35:32,266 universal brown colorant to the mixture 728 00:35:32,266 --> 00:35:35,567 so that we have a really nice color. 729 00:35:35,567 --> 00:35:39,166 And Bill said he wants this to look really natural, 730 00:35:39,166 --> 00:35:41,667 so that's kind of how we're gonna keep it. 731 00:35:41,667 --> 00:35:44,967 I add a little bit of black just to darken it up some more. 732 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,200 All right, this is starting to look really good. 733 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,367 So we can go ahead and start putting it on the bed wood. 734 00:35:54,066 --> 00:35:55,900 We're gonna go in circular motions 735 00:35:55,900 --> 00:35:59,867 to make sure it gets into all of the wood grain. 736 00:36:00,667 --> 00:36:03,367 It's nice when you try something new 737 00:36:03,367 --> 00:36:05,867 and it ends up working out really well, 738 00:36:05,867 --> 00:36:08,400 and you cannot beat the smell. 739 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,600 This definitely beats the normal smell 740 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,033 that we're used to when we're working with stain. 741 00:36:17,467 --> 00:36:20,467 All right, everything looks like it's soaked in really well. 742 00:36:20,467 --> 00:36:22,467 Now we just gotta do it eight more times. 743 00:36:29,367 --> 00:36:33,500 So, next step in the process to really protect this bed wood 744 00:36:33,500 --> 00:36:36,567 we're going to use an exterior clear coat product. 745 00:36:36,567 --> 00:36:40,500 It's going to do a great job at locking in the color 746 00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:43,800 and to keep it well protected. 747 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,867 This is a Dead Flat finish, 748 00:36:46,867 --> 00:36:49,166 so there's really no sheen to it. 749 00:36:49,166 --> 00:36:52,266 It's gonna keep a really natural appearance. 750 00:36:52,266 --> 00:36:54,300 When you're applying the clear coat, 751 00:36:54,300 --> 00:36:56,800 it's really important that you keep a really nice, even, 752 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,567 consistent spray pattern. 753 00:36:58,567 --> 00:37:02,066 Same speed, same distance from the substrate. 754 00:37:02,066 --> 00:37:04,000 And as you can tell, this product here, 755 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,567 it actually looks kind of white when it goes down. 756 00:37:07,567 --> 00:37:10,667 That lets me know that I'm actually getting material 757 00:37:10,667 --> 00:37:12,467 on the substrate where I need it, 758 00:37:12,467 --> 00:37:14,467 but it dries completely clear. 759 00:37:14,467 --> 00:37:18,166 So, I'm really happy with the look of it. 760 00:37:18,166 --> 00:37:21,567 It's gonna be very period correct for this truck, 761 00:37:21,567 --> 00:37:24,000 so now we're gonna do a few more coats 762 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,667 on the top and bottom. 763 00:37:25,667 --> 00:37:28,734 Once everything dries, it'll be ready to go back on Old Max. 764 00:37:34,767 --> 00:37:35,767 Hey, I'm Louis. 765 00:37:35,767 --> 00:37:37,300 Everybody refers to me here as the wood guy. 766 00:37:37,300 --> 00:37:39,567 When Bill needs something done with the wood around here, 767 00:37:39,567 --> 00:37:40,467 he gives me a call. 768 00:37:40,467 --> 00:37:41,867 -All right, man. -Let's do that. 769 00:37:41,867 --> 00:37:44,567 [Louis] I got into the woodworking business through my family. 770 00:37:44,567 --> 00:37:47,367 My grandfather's been doing this for over 60 years, 771 00:37:47,367 --> 00:37:50,867 so I enjoy working on wood because of the family lineage. 772 00:37:50,867 --> 00:37:55,000 I really enjoy the restoration and refinish side. 773 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,900 Seeing things come back to life. 774 00:37:56,900 --> 00:37:59,266 -[cheering] -[Louis] I also enjoy being bold 775 00:37:59,266 --> 00:38:00,900 and using different techniques 776 00:38:00,900 --> 00:38:02,200 that most people don't see, 777 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,767 but really just making things special 778 00:38:03,767 --> 00:38:06,667 and seeing what beauty we can bring out of the natural wood. 779 00:38:06,667 --> 00:38:10,100 Probably my favorite project was Rubio's truck, 780 00:38:10,100 --> 00:38:13,300 when we did the river bed, that was really cool 781 00:38:13,300 --> 00:38:16,867 to be able to utilize epoxies and different techniques 782 00:38:16,867 --> 00:38:19,767 to really make that a one-off bed. 783 00:38:20,867 --> 00:38:23,867 This is a trade that is constantly evolving, 784 00:38:23,867 --> 00:38:25,867 constantly innovating. 785 00:38:25,867 --> 00:38:27,800 There's always something to learn. 786 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,266 You always wanna push yourself 787 00:38:29,266 --> 00:38:32,367 to be a better craftsman and show off what you can do, 788 00:38:32,367 --> 00:38:34,066 and it's exciting. 789 00:38:50,734 --> 00:38:52,967 Today is one of those really good days at the shop. 790 00:38:52,967 --> 00:38:56,233 We're almost done with the truck portion on the '31 Ford. 791 00:39:04,367 --> 00:39:06,367 We've color-matched that 4BT 792 00:39:06,367 --> 00:39:08,567 to the orange of the Maxwell House logo. 793 00:39:08,567 --> 00:39:10,500 [man] Yeah, you're good.
