00:29:00,266 --> 00:29:02,266 there's no way for this to be out of line. 642 00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:05,934 And then we'll be ready to start building our link bars. 643 00:29:08,767 --> 00:29:10,900 We'll center it over the rear end here. 644 00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:13,367 So now, take a quick measurement. 645 00:29:13,367 --> 00:29:15,066 Let's go cut some link bars. 646 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,867 I slide it over our bond 647 00:29:19,867 --> 00:29:22,467 and you know, if I need a little bit of adjustment, 648 00:29:22,467 --> 00:29:23,667 I got it right there. 649 00:29:23,667 --> 00:29:25,867 I can go in and out as far as I want. 650 00:29:25,867 --> 00:29:29,367 The way I like to do this is split the difference in the shank. 651 00:29:29,367 --> 00:29:33,000 So you don't ever want it to be spun all the way out 652 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,734 because that's what's holding all the pressure and holding all the weight. 653 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,100 Now that we have this tacked in, 654 00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:43,867 I'm gonna go ahead and weld this stuff, cap it. 655 00:29:49,166 --> 00:29:53,100 All right, so I got my fillers for my axle brackets. 656 00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:55,567 These are gonna go on the outside, box them all in, 657 00:29:55,567 --> 00:29:58,467 and then we can also build our back brackets off of this. 658 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,000 All right, so we've got everything installed. 659 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,533 Our four-link is good. 660 00:30:05,467 --> 00:30:06,600 We're going to cycle the suspension, 661 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,266 make sure our pinion doesn't drop or rise too much, 662 00:30:09,266 --> 00:30:10,400 and make sure everything is good. 663 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:11,667 If we need to make any adjustments, 664 00:30:11,667 --> 00:30:14,467 we can now, with everything just tacked into place. 665 00:30:14,467 --> 00:30:16,467 But I mean, we've done this a couple of times, 666 00:30:16,467 --> 00:30:18,500 so I'm pretty sure it'll be all right. 667 00:30:18,500 --> 00:30:21,600 [upbeat music playing] 668 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,567 [Bill] We're gonna wake up this truck by de-chroming it. 669 00:30:24,567 --> 00:30:27,266 We're going with the black and gold candy paint. 670 00:30:27,266 --> 00:30:29,567 Right now, we're gonna start mixing up our gold paint 671 00:30:29,567 --> 00:30:31,033 for Vanilla Ice's truck. 672 00:30:31,033 --> 00:30:35,000 Most of the time, people want to cut and match their trim to match the truck, 673 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,266 with the color of the truck. 674 00:30:36,266 --> 00:30:37,967 In this instance, we're gonna turn 675 00:30:37,967 --> 00:30:40,066 all the chrome that's in the truck into gold. 676 00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:42,266 So the first thing we're gonna do, 677 00:30:42,266 --> 00:30:44,200 we're gonna start mixing up our Lemonade Candy 678 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,800 with eight ounces of concentrated Lemonade dye. 679 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,567 We're gonna drop in another eight ounces, 680 00:30:49,567 --> 00:30:51,000 which will make 16. 681 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,166 And in this case, we're gonna use 682 00:30:52,166 --> 00:30:54,767 a two-hour direct to metal clear 683 00:30:54,767 --> 00:30:57,667 which is going to be a very important key to this project 684 00:30:57,667 --> 00:31:01,133 to make the Candy stick to these chrome and aluminum wheels. 685 00:31:02,166 --> 00:31:04,500 So Rob wants a twist on this gold. 686 00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:06,467 He doesn't actually want a shiny gold. 687 00:31:06,467 --> 00:31:08,567 He wants a satin look to it. 688 00:31:08,567 --> 00:31:11,066 The satin look's not a real common request 689 00:31:11,066 --> 00:31:13,100 for a gold-plated effect. 690 00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:14,867 But that's what's gonna make this truck 691 00:31:14,867 --> 00:31:17,333 look different from any, any other truck out there. 692 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,800 We got all of this mixed up. 693 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,700 We're gonna start loading it up on the gun 694 00:31:22,700 --> 00:31:23,900 and start shooting all these chrome 695 00:31:23,900 --> 00:31:25,867 and all the wheels and get it done. 696 00:31:25,867 --> 00:31:28,166 [upbeat music playing] 697 00:31:31,867 --> 00:31:34,000 So we just shot our first tack coat. 698 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,467 The reason we shot a light dusting tack coat 699 00:31:36,467 --> 00:31:39,967 is to lock in all the materials without over-wetting in. 700 00:31:39,967 --> 00:31:42,166 We're gonna hit it with two more coats of Candy. 701 00:31:42,166 --> 00:31:44,166 Build up a tone eventually where we want it. 702 00:31:44,166 --> 00:31:45,934 Just making sure we don't get it too dark. 703 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,567 Rob wants a satin finish to this gold. 704 00:31:50,567 --> 00:31:52,734 We're gonna hit it with two coats of satin clear. 705 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,200 It goes on like a shiny clear. 706 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,700 As it's drying, it starts toning out to a satin finish. 707 00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:01,066 We're gonna let it cure. 708 00:32:01,066 --> 00:32:03,066 And that's it for that. 709 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,667 [upbeat music playing] 710 00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:16,233 Twelve and a half. 711 00:32:16,867 --> 00:32:19,567 So I need 18 inches for my wheel, 712 00:32:19,567 --> 00:32:22,100 whenever it's laid out. 713 00:32:22,100 --> 00:32:25,333 Yeah, so I just need to come in three inches on both sides. 714 00:32:28,166 --> 00:32:31,367 [Bill] There's always a trickle down on these decisions we make. 715 00:32:31,367 --> 00:32:33,867 We finished the rear suspension on the F-350 716 00:32:33,867 --> 00:32:36,800 with narrowed axles, four-link and bigger wheels. 717 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,800 Now we need to widen the fenders to make that bed 718 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,200 look like it came from the factory that way. 719 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,000 I can see with all my lines drawn here, 720 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000 we're gonna cut this guy here, 721 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,500 that'll give us that little lip 722 00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:50,367 to be able to weld to instead of welding straight to the side of the bed here. 723 00:32:50,367 --> 00:32:51,934 And then this is what we're gonna take out. 724 00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:54,266 So that'll be gone. 725 00:32:54,266 --> 00:32:56,266 This will move over this line. 726 00:32:56,266 --> 00:32:58,200 We'll meet this line here. 727 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,700 We can weld that seam, and then we can add our 3-inch strip of aluminum 728 00:33:02,700 --> 00:33:04,100 and fill that void. 729 00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:13,400 I'm ready to start fitting my inner fender walls back onto the bed. 730 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,700 So, put this guy here. 731 00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:19,100 You can grab both pieces of the sheet metal 732 00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:21,867 and then you just use this little wing nut to tighten it up. 733 00:33:21,867 --> 00:33:23,533 I can throw a tack on there, 734 00:33:24,467 --> 00:33:27,266 do the same to the passenger side over here. 735 00:33:27,266 --> 00:33:29,266 And once I get everything tacked 736 00:33:29,266 --> 00:33:33,066 and looking good, then I can start making my filter pieces here. 737 00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:39,400 Wow, those are like within a 30 second, 738 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,266 which is unbelievable. 739 00:33:41,266 --> 00:33:44,900 Now, I'm ready to go get a piece of aluminum. 740 00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:46,467 I'm gonna make it a little big. 741 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,767 We'll get that situated each side, 742 00:33:52,767 --> 00:33:54,667 and then I can come in and I can tack it. 743 00:33:58,100 --> 00:34:00,567 I get all that tacked, weld everything out, 744 00:34:00,567 --> 00:34:04,200 grind it all, clean it all up, reshoot some bed liner on this thing. 745 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,634 It'll look like we've never messed with it. 746 00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:09,967 [upbeat music playing] 747 00:34:12,367 --> 00:34:15,266 So we got Vanilla Ice's F-350. 748 00:34:15,266 --> 00:34:17,367 It was a special order with the Godzilla motor. 749 00:34:17,367 --> 00:34:22,100 So the engine that's in it now puts down somewhere mid-400 horsepower. 750 00:34:22,100 --> 00:34:24,600 We're going to go ahead and add a supercharger on it, 751 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,567 which we're expecting to get 350 horsepower gain. 752 00:34:27,567 --> 00:34:30,100 So we'll be somewhere in the 7s with this on it. 753 00:34:30,100 --> 00:34:33,734 It's definitely going to be a huge, noticeable upgrade for this Godzilla. 754 00:34:35,266 --> 00:34:38,567 We're gonna go ahead and start disassembling everything that's in the way, 755 00:34:38,567 --> 00:34:42,066 all the slow parts, so we can make room for all the go fast stuff. 756 00:34:43,066 --> 00:34:44,900 So once we get this installed and tuned, 757 00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:48,066 this thing will definitely compete with the diesel engines. 758 00:34:49,567 --> 00:34:52,066 We'll go ahead and manhandle this thing up to the truck. 759 00:34:53,967 --> 00:34:56,166 We're gonna go ahead and get our throttle body 760 00:34:56,166 --> 00:34:59,000 spacer and throttle body mounted. 761 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,066 So just holding it up here, I can already see 762 00:35:01,066 --> 00:35:04,467 we have no room to run our charge pipe to our air filters 763 00:35:04,467 --> 00:35:07,266 because we've got the fan shroud and the radiator in the way, 764 00:35:07,266 --> 00:35:08,700 and we're gonna have to find 765 00:35:08,700 --> 00:35:10,000 a different route to take 766 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,367 to get all this to fit in here. 767 00:35:11,367 --> 00:35:13,033 Well, like I said, we can chop the fan blade. 768 00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:15,266 It'll work once. 769 00:35:15,266 --> 00:35:16,634 [chuckles] 770 00:35:16,634 --> 00:35:19,700 So what I'm thinking is we're gonna get this pipe mounted to this flange. 771 00:35:19,700 --> 00:35:22,467 And as you can see, we definitely have our clearance 772 00:35:22,467 --> 00:35:24,266 from our fan shroud and our fan. 773 00:35:24,266 --> 00:35:27,200 Now we just need to get our throttle body mounted out here. 774 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,066 So we'll go ahead and build a couple of flanges for it, 775 00:35:29,066 --> 00:35:31,000 get them welded up and mounted on. 776 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,166 [upbeat instrumental rock music playing] 777 00:35:40,700 -->
