(ANNOUNCER)>> TODAY WE'RE
CLEANING UP THE INTERIOR AND PROTECTING THE EXTERIOR
ON PROJECT SUPER DUALLY. INSIDE WE'RE REVIVING
THE DOOR PANELS AND ADDING NEW CARPET. OUTSIDE WE'RE
ADDING SOME SERIOUS CUSTOM BUILT BUMPERS. IT'S ALL TODAY
HERE ON TRUCKS.
(KEVIN)>> HEY, WELCOME TO THE SHOP. WELL THERE'S A SAYING THAT'S PRETTY COMMON AROUND THE HOT
RODDING WORLD, AND THAT IS THE LAST 20 PERCENT OF THE PROJECT TAKES 80 PERCENT OF THE TIME. AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHERE WE ARE WITH PROJECT SUPER DUALLY. AND ONE OF THOSE TIME SPONGES IS, WELL QUITE FRANKLY, THE INTERIOR, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT ALL THE GAUGE CLUSTER, ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, WELL THEY'RE ALL HOOKED UP AND THEY'RE ALL FUNCTIONING PERFECTLY. NOW THE TRUCK, JUST LIKE THE DASHBOARD, IS THIS HYBRID MASH UP OF TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLES. THE DASH USES THE STEEL STAMPED HOUSING FOR THE ORIGINAL CAB BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT FITS IN THERE, BUT THE CLUSTER FIT INTO THIS PLASTIC BEZEL THAT CAME FROM THE DODGE TRUCK. AND OF COURSE YOU SAW US JOIN THEM TOGETHER WITH A BONDING ADHESIVE, BUT SINCE THEN I'VE FINISHED IT WITH SOME FILLER, USED A TEXTURED PAINT AND SOME DUPLICOLOR SEMI GLOSS BLACK TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THE STAMPED STEEL PIECE.
THE VENTS OVER HERE, WELL THEY'RE THE ORIGINAL FORD
ONES, AND WE JUST SORTA GAVE THEM A SHOT OF PAINT AND THEY'RE GONNA BLEND IN JUST FINE. THIS DASH PAD, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT IT'S NEW. HERE'S WHY IT'S NEW. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DASH PAD FROM THE OLD FORD TRUCK, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S PRETTY BEAT UP. THE BROW'S MESSED UP, AND LOOK AT ALL THE CRACKS, IT'S JUST ROTTEN.
EACH ONE OF THOSE CRACKS REPRESENTS, OH, ABOUT AN HOUR'S WORTH OF REPAIR. SO IT JUST MADE MORE SENSE TO US TO REACH INTO THE LMC TRUCK CATALOG AND ORDER A BRAND NEW ONE. NOW SPEAKING OF THE LMC TRUCK CATALOG, THERE IS A LOT OF INTERIOR COMPONENTS FROM THOSE GUYS FOR THIS TRUCK, CHECK IT OUT. NOW THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN OUR MIND AND PROBABLY YOURS BY NOW THAT THIS TRUCK WAS A WORK TRUCK. NOW IF THE FOUR DOOR CAB DIDN'T GIVE IT AWAY, WELL THE CONDITION OF THE INTERIOR PROBABLY SHOULD. IT WAS ABUSED, AND THAT'S OKAY FOR A WORK TRUCK, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO REVIVE IT. THESE TRIM PANELS, THEY'RE KINDA BEYOND IT. THEY'RE BUSTED UP, THEY'RE DRY ROTTED, CRACKS, THEY'RE JUST NOT WORTH SAVING. SO THANKS TO LMC TRUCK WE'VE GOT DIRECT
REPLACEMENTS, AT LEAST FOR THE FRONT DOORS. NOW FOR THE REAR WE'VE KINDA GOT A BIT OF A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE REAR DOORS ARE ODD. THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT NARROWER, AND WELL FRANKLY NOBODY POPS REPRODUCTION PANELS BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST SUCH LIMITED PRODUCTION THAT NOBODY MAKES THEM. SO WE CAN DO A LITTLE BIT OF REPAIR AND SAVE WHAT WE GOT. NOW THESE ARE THE REAR DOOR INTERIOR TRIM PANELS. AND ACTUALLY THEY'RE NOT IN BAD SHAPE, BUT WE HAD TO DO
A SMALL REPAIR HERE. WE JUST USED SOME TWO PART EPOXY, REPAIRED THE BACK SIDE WHERE THE CRACK WAS, AND IT'S GOOD TO GO. NOW THIS LOOKS A LOT CLEANER THAN THIS GUY HERE. THIS IS HOW IT CAME OUT OF THE BOX AFTER BEING TORN DOWN, AND IT NEEDS TO BE PREPPED. AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S PREPPED VERY WELL, AND THIS IS WHAT WE END UP WITH. THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE A BRAND NEW ONE, AND THAT'S THANKS TO THIS VINYL AND PLASTIC DYE FROM LMC TRUCK. IT'S CALLED COLOR BOND, AND WELL IT MATCHES THE COLOR OF THE OE TRIM PANELS THAT WE GOT FROM LMC. AND IT SPRAYS ON BEAUTIFULLY, MAKES THEM LOOK BRAND NEW. NOW TYPICALLY WHEN YOU PREP YOU USE A SCUFFING PAD, YOU GET IN ALL THE CRACKS AND CREVICES, BUT LOOK AT ALL THE LINES, LOOK AT ALL THE TIGHT SPOTS IN HERE. YOU'RE NOT GONNA STUFF THIS IN HERE, AND IT'S GONNA TAKE
HOURS, AND HOURS, AND HOURS TO PREP THIS. SO WE FOUND A WAY TO PREP THIS STUFF THAT'S NOT INVASIVE, THAT GETS ABSOLUTELY A GREAT JOB DONE OF ALL THE CRACKS AND CREVICES, AND IT'S REALLY, REALLY EASY TO DO, VERY TIME EFFICIENT TOO. SO IF YOU OR YOUR BUDDY HAS A BEAD BLAST CABINET WITH
SOME ALUMINUM OXIDE OR GLASS BEADS, WELL YOU CAN MAKE
SHORT WORK OF THIS STUFF, HERE'S HOW. NOW THE BLAST CABINET NOR THE MEDIA REALLY CARES WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH IT. SO REDUCE YOUR PRESSURE DOWN TO ABOUT 20 POUNDS AND YOU COULD SAFELY BLAST THIS PLASTIC WITHOUT EATING IT UP. YOU CAN SEE THE SHORT WORK THAT IT MAKES OF GETTING RID OF ALL THE SCHMUTZ IN THE TOP OF THAT TEXTURED CLASSIC. THIS TRIM PANEL TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO BLAST AND ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TO BLOW THE DUST OUT OF THE CRACKS. ONCE THAT WAS DONE, WELL YOU'RE READY TO GO, IT'S PREPPED. SO I'M PUTTING ON THREE FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL COATS OF THE COLOR BOND PAINT AND LETTING IT DRY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, PROBABLY AN HOUR AND A HALF. MAKE SURE IT'S GOOD AND DRY TO THE TOUCH AND THAT IT WON'T ROLL OFF ON YOUR FINGERS. NOW IN ANY RESTORATION JOB YOU'RE GONNA FIND STUFF THAT YOU JUST MISSED. AND THE GOOD THING ABOUT THE COLOR BOND AND THE INTERIOR PAINT IS THAT IT'S EASY TO USE AND REQUIRES MINIMAL PREP. YOU DON'T' HAVE TO SET UP A PAINT BOOTH TO USE IT.
TO INSTALL YOUR DOOR TRIM PANELS REQUIRES PUSH PIN TYPE CLIPS. ON THE REAR DOORS THERE ARE SPRING STEEL CLIP. ON THE FRONT DOORS THAT WITH THE LMC TRIM PANELS. OURS, SINCE THEY WERE STEEL, WERE REUSABLE. I GOT A LITTLE SLAP HAPPY PUTTING THEM IN BUT AFTER A WHILE THEY FINALLY LISTENED TO WHAT I WAS SAYING. NOW THE DOOR POLES RECEIVE THE SAME TREATMENT AS THE TRIM PANELS, EXCEPT FOR THE CHROME ENDS, WHICH WE WANTED TO KEEP CHROME. THE FASTENERS ARE HIDDEN BY A PUSH IN COVER, AND IF THE
DOOR PULLS AS WELL AS THE WINDOW CRANKS, WE'RE IN GOOD ENOUGH SHAPE TO SAY. WE JUST CLEAN THEM UP WITH A LITTLE STEEL WOOL AND SOME
METAL POLISH FROM MOTHERS. NOW WITH THIS DOOR COMPLETELY FINISHED IT'S ONE MORE THING OFF THE LIST FOR SUPER DUALLY.
(KEVIN)>> HEY, WELCOME BACK. WELL TEST FIT AND MOCK UP IS CRITICAL WHEN YOU'RE BUILDING A VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY A CUSTOM VEHICLE WHERE THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS AT PLAY, AND THE INTERIOR IS NO EXCEPTION. FOR US WE'VE GOT LMC TRUCK ON OUR SIDE AND THE CARPET AVAILABILITY, EVEN FOR THIS ODD BALL TRUCK WITH A CLUB CAB, WE'VE GOT THE REAR CARPET SECTION WITH THE FOOT WELLS AND IT'S COMBINED WITH THE JUTE BACKING. SO WITH THE JUTE, WITH THE NICE CARPET, AND THE LIZARD SKIN SPRAY CERAMIC INSULATION WE'VE ALREADY GOT LAID DOWN ON THIS FLOOR, WE SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO. AND IT'S JUST A SIMPLE MATTER OF DOING A LITTLE BIT OF TRIMMING, MAKING SURE THE FOOT WELLS AND EVERYTHING LINES UP, WHICH WE'RE GOOD TO GO HERE BUT THE FRONT
SECTION WITH THE NEW DODGE SHIFTER, AND THE PEDALS, AND A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS THAT WE'VE GOT TO ACCOUNT FOR, SUCH AS WHERE IT COMES UP INTO THE TOE BOARDS. WELL I'VE GOT SOME TRIMMING, SOME MEASURING, SOME TRIMMING, AND SOME MEASURING, AND SOME TRIMMING, AND SOME MEASURING!
(RYAN)>> ALRIGHT, WELL KEVIN'S BEEN DOING SOME INTERIOR WORK AND CUTTING AND MEASURING CARPET, I'VE BEEN BUILDING SOME CUSTOM BUMPERS FOR OUR SUPER DUALLY. CAUSE ORDERING A PAIR OF THE OUT OF A CATALOG JUST
ISN'T GOING TO WORK. THEY'RE EITHER GONNA FIT THE FORD BODY OR THE DODGE FRAME. THEY'RE NOT GONNA FIT BOTH. SO WE HAD TO MAKE OUR OWN. WE STARTED WITH THIS CARDBOARD TEMPLATE. AFTER MOCKING THINGS UP IN CARDBOARD, WE TRANSFERRED THOSE MEASUREMENTS OVER TO OUR TORCH MATE CNC PLASMA CUTTER, WHICH MADE QUICK WORK OF CUTTING OUT THE PLATES. NOW WE REALIZE YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE ONE OF THESE TORCH MATES AT YOUR SHOP OR AT YOUR DISPOSAL, BUT YOU CAN GET THE SAME JOB DONE WITH A MAGIC MARKER, A STRAIGHT EDGE, AND A BAND SAW, OR EVEN A CUTOFF WHEEL ON YOUR ANGLE GRINDER. IT'LL JUST TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER. NOW WE'RE GONNA INCORPORATE A STEP INTO THE REAR BUMPER.
THESE DIMPLE DYED HOLES WILL ADD A LITTLE BIT OF TRACTION, STYLE, AND STRENGTH TO THIS OTHER WISE FLAT PIECE OF EIGHTH INCH STEEL. THEN IT'S TIME TO WELD ALL THIS MESS TOGETHER. AND SO WE DON'T CONCENTRATE THE HEAT IN ONE AREA OF THE BUMPER TOO MUCH, WE WELDED AROUND THE BUMPER IN DIFFERENT AREAS IN FOUR TO SIX INCH BEADS. THE SAME WITH YOUR GRINDING.
AND AFTER ALL THAT CUTTING AND WELDING, HERE'S WHAT WE ENDED UP WITH. WE MADE THIS FRONT BUMPER OUT OF THREESIXTEENTHS PLATE STEEL.
WE'VE GOT CUT OUT HOLES FOR FOG LIGHTS AND CUTOUT OBLONG HOLES IN THE CENTER TO HELP WITH AIR FLOW.
ALRIGHT NOW FOR THE REAR BUMPER IT'S MORE OF THE SAME. MOSTLY THREESIXTEENTHS PLATE STEEL EXCEPT FOR THE STEP PORTION, WHERE WE USED EIGHTH IN INCH PLATE JUST BECAUSE IT WAS EASIER TO BEND AND WORK WITH. NOW MOST OF IT IS MIG WELDED AND GROUND DOWN, BUT THIS WELD HERE, WELL WE WENT AHEAD AND TIG WELDED IT BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO GET A GRINDER IN THERE TO SMOOTH IT DOWN AND MAKE IT LOOK NICE. WE'VE ALSO ADDED A COUPLE OF HOLES FOR LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS. AND AS YOU SAW, WE ADDED A COUPLE OF DOZEN DIMPLE HOLES FOR A LITTLE BIT OF TRACTION ON OUR STEP.
AND SINCE THIS IS A WORK TRUCK AND WE'RE GONNA BE DRAGGING A TRAILER PRETTY OFTEN. WELL WE OBVIOUSLY NEED A TRAILER HITCH. SO WE WENT TO SUMMIT RACING AND PICKED UP THIS VFIVE RATED HITCH. IT'LL ALLOW US TO DRAG A TRAILER UP TO 10,000 POUNDS, OR 12,000 IF WE'VE GOT A WEIGHT
DISTRIBUTION HITCH ON IT. NOW JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE ON THIS TRUCK, IT HAD TO MODIFIED TO FIT. SO WE CUT THE CENTER LOOSE FROM THE END PLATES, MOVED IT UP, AND TUCKED IT IN A LITTLE BIT SO IT FIT OUR
FRAME A LITTLE BIT BETTER. LIFT WITH YOUR BACK, NOT YOUR KNEES.
(KEVIN)>> I'D RATHER LIFT WITH YOUR BACK.
THAT LOOKS GOOD MAN, COOL!
(RYAN)>> ALRIGHT!
(KEVIN)>> NOT GONNA FALL OFF NOW.
(RYAN)>> ALRIGHT, NOW WITH THE FRONT BUMPER INSTALLED
YOU CAN SEE THAT THESE OPENINGS AREN'T JUST TO BREAK UP THE DESIGN OF THE BUMPER. THEY'RE GONNA BE FUNCTIONAL ONCE WE TRIM THIS LOWER GRILL SHELL. NOW THAT'LL ALLOW AIR TO FLOW THROUGH HERE OFF THIS LITTLE SHEET METAL PANEL AND COOL THE BOTTOM OF THE A/C CONDENSER, INTERCOOLER, AND RADIATOR, HELPING THIS WORK
TRUCK RUN NICE AND COOL. NOW WE'VE LEFT ENOUGH SPACE DOWN HERE FOR OUR TRUCKS TAG AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO THROW SOME FOG LIGHTS IN HERE ONCE WE DO A LITTLE BIT MORE TRIMMING
OF THAT GRILL SHELL. BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE'RE PLENTY SIKED HOW THIS BUMPER TURNED OUT.
(KEVIN)>> HEY WELCOME BACK. WELL WHAT A DIFFERENCE A CARPET CAN MAKE TO THE INTERIOR OF A VEHICLE. THIS THING LOOKS LIKE A BRAND NEW TRUCK AGAIN. AND AS WELL AS THE TWO PIECE CARPET KIT, WE ALSO HAVE KICK PANELS TO INSTALL. I WANT TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO SOMETHING ELSE. THESE ARE THE POCKETS THAT GO UNDERNEATH THE DOOR TRIM
PANEL ON THE FRONT DOORS. WELL YOU KNOW WHAT, SEE YA, WORN OUT, NOT GONNA HAPPEN. SINCE THE TWO PIECE CARPET ENDED HERE, WE HAD A LOT OF EXTRA LEFT OVER. SO THANKS LMC, WHAT YOU'VE JUST GIVEN US IS THE ABILITY TO MAKE A NICE UPHOLSTERED PANEL TO GO UNDER THAT TRIM PANEL. HERE'S ANOTHER THING THAT WE GOT. THESE THRESHOLD PANELS ARE BRAND NEW.
THEY'RE AVAILABLE FOR THE F-150 AS WELL AS THIS CLUB CAB TRUCK, BUT THE TRANSITIONS ON THE BACK, WELL NOT SO MUCH. BUT HERE'S WHERE OUR BUDDIES FROM MOTHERS COME IN HANDY. THIS IS THEIR METAL POLISH, A LITTLE BIT OF STEEL WOOL BACK UP BY A MICRO FIBER, AND VOILA. WE MAKE OUR OLD THRESHOLDS AND TRANSITIONS LOOK JUST AS GOOD AS THE NEW ONES. SINCE THESE AREN'T AVAILABLE, THANKS MOTHERS, KINDA SAVED OUR BUTT.
(RYAN)>> NOW WE MADE OUR BUMPERS OUT OF HOT ROLLED STEEL. AND WITH THAT HOT ROLLED STEEL COMES THIS GREYISH MILL SCALE THAT'S A SLICK, KINDA HARD TO REMOVE SURFACE THAT'S DIFFICULT TO GET PAINT TO STICK TO. NOW IF THESE WERE JUST JEEP BUMPERS WE WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. THEY NEED TOUCH UP ANYWAY FROM GETTING BEAT UP ON THE ROCKS.
BUT FOR THIS TRUCK WE WANTED THE PAINT TO STICK FOR A GOOD LONG TIME. LUCKILY WE'VE GOT A BLAST CABINET LARGE ENOUGH TO STUFF THIS ENTIRE PUMPER INTO AND WE CAN SAND BLAST
THE MILL SCALE AWAY, CAUSE IT'S REALLY ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO DO SO. NOW THERE'S ALSO CHEMICALS YOU CAN USE TO TRY TO STRIP IT OFF, BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BLAST CABINET AND YOU DON'T WANT TO FOOL AROUND WITH CHEMICALS, WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU FIVE DIFFERENT WAYS TO TRY TO MECHANICALLY REMOVE THIS MILL SCALE WITH VARYING LEVELS OF SUCCESS.
YOU CAN PICK OUT WHICH WORKS BEST FOR YOU. NOW THE FIRST THING WE'RE GONNA TRY IS A WIRE BRUSH ATTACHMENT ON OUR FOUR AND A HALF INCH MATCO ANGLE GRINDER. AND WHILE THIS TOOL IS USUALLY PRETTY EFFECTIVE AT
REMOVING UNDERCOATING AND CRUD, IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT POLISH THE SURFACE. NEXT UP WAS A PNEUMATIC DYE GRINDER WITH A MEDIUM GRIT RECONDITIONING OR RESURFACING DISC ON IT. AND AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS, JUST MADE THE METAL SHINY. THEN WE MOVED ON TO A MEDIUM GRIT SANDING DISC ON A PNEUMATIC GRINDER. IT STARTED OUT LOOKING PRETTY PROMISING. THE DISC WAS MAKING QUICK WORK OF REMOVING THE SCALE, BUT THINGS KINDA WENT DOWN HILL AFTER THAT AS THE PAPER QUICKLY CLOGGED UP WITH THE TOUGH MILL SCALE AND IT WAS JUST KINDA RUBBING ON THE METAL AND POLISHING IT, BUT AT LEAST WE'RE ON THE RIGHT PATH. THEN IT WAS BACK TO THE ANGLE GRINDER AND COARSE
40 GRIT FLAP WHEEL FROM INDUSTRIAL DEPOT. THIS STARTED OUT LOOKING PRETTY GOOD TOO. DUE TO THE LAYERS IN THE FLAP WHEEL AND THE OVERALL GRIT OF THE FLAP WHEEL WE WERE MAKING PRETTY GOOD PROGRESS AND IT WASN'T DOING TOO MUCH DAMAGE TO OUR FLAP WHEEL. THIS COULD GET THE JOB DONE. THEN WE TRIED A STRIPPING DISC. IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE USE AROUND THE SHOP THAT OFTEN, BUT IT IS PRETTY EFFECTIVE. IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHAT A STRIPPING DISC IS MADE OF, IT'S BASICALLY INDIVIDUAL ABRASIVE GRAINS INTERSPERSED THROUGH AN OPEN WEB OF NYLON FIBERS. I THINK THE STRIPPING DISC DOES THE BEST JOB. IT REMOVES THE MILL SCALE WITHOUT CREATING 40 GRIT SCRATCHES EVERYWHERE. NOW ALL I'VE GOT TO DO IS FINISH STRIPPING IT SO KEVIN CAN PAINT.
(KEVIN)>> HEY WELCOME BACK. WELL SUPER DUALLY IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO BEING ROAD READY TO WHERE IT WAS TIME TO DISCUSS WHEELS. BECAUSE SIMULATORS ON THE OLD STEEL WHEELS WERE NOT GONNA CUT IT.
SO WE GAVE THE GUYS AT NASHVILLE WHEEL COMPANY A CALL, TALKED ABOUT SOME DESIGNS, AND THIS IS WHAT THEY SENT OVER, CHECK IT OUT. THIS IS A SUPER STRONG FORGED AND POLISHED 19.5 WITH STANDARD WIDTH. IT WAS CUSTOM CUT BY GREENING AUTO COMPANY, COMES WITH A BILLET ALUMINUM CENTER CAP, AND THEY EVEN TOOK THE TIME TO MILL IN THE SUPER DUALLY PROJECT NAME. NOW IT'S NOT JUST THE FRONTS, WE HAD THEM SEND US THE WHOLE SET OF SIX. AND THE REAR WHEELS, WELL THEY'RE POLISHED JUST AS PERFECTLY AS THE FRONTS, GOT A COOL CENTER CAP, AND AGAIN THEY MILLED IN THE PROJECT NAME FOR US. SO THEY CAN OFFER YOU THE SAME CUSTOM FEATURES. NOW A 19.5 IS BIG ENOUGH TO LOOK MODERN BUT STILL GIVES US ENOUGH SIDEWALL SO WE CAN ACTUALLY PUT THIS TRUCK TO WORK AND HAVE A SMOOTH RIDE. BUT FOR YOU GUYS THAT WANT LARGER SIZES, CHECK THESE OUT. NWC OFFERS WHEELS UP TO 26 INCHES IN DIAMETER. SO YOU CAN GO TO THE NASHVILLE WHEEL COMPANY WEBSITE AND EITHER ORDER OFF THE SHELF PREDESIGNED WHEELS, OR WORK HAND IN HAND WITH THEM LIKE WE DID AND COME UP WITH YOUR OWN DESIGN. THESE WHEELS ARE 100 PERCENT AMERICAN MADE, AND THEY EVEN OFFER MATCHING TRAILER WHEELS.
SO GO TO NASHVILLE WHEEL COMPANY DOT COM, CHECK THEM OUT. THEIR PRICES MAY EVEN SURPRISE YOU.
(RYAN)>> NOW IF YOU GUYS WANT TO UPDATE THE LIGHTING
ON YOUR CLASSIC TRUCK, WELL LMC HAS THE LED'S YOU NEED TO SEE. NOW LED'S ILLUMINATE OVER 100 TIMES FASTER
THAN CONVENTIONAL INCANDESCENT BULBS. AND WHEN TALKING ABOUT BRAKE LIGHTS, WELL THAT'S JUST
THAT MUCH MORE WARNING FOR THE GUY BEHIND YOU. NOW THEY EMIT LESS HEAT AND USE LESS ENERGY THAN STANDARD BULBS AS WELL. NOW THESE LIGHTS ARE PLUG AND PLAY.
THIS FITS RIGHT INTO YOUR STANDARD BULB SOCKET, AND THESE LED LIGHTS CAN LAST UP TO 20,000 HOURS. SO TO MODERNIZE YOUR TRUCK, CHECK OUT LMC. NOW '07 TO '09 F-150'S COME FROM THE FACTORY WITH A ONE PIECE ROTOR AND HUB ASSEMBLY, WHICH IS FINE UNTIL YOU NEED TO REPLACE JUST THE ROTOR OR JUST THE WHEEL BEARING AND YOU'RE FORCED TO BUY THE WHOLE THING. WELL EBC BRAKES HAS A SOLUTION FOR YOU IN THE FORM OF THEIR TWO PIECE HUB AND ROTOR UPGRADE KIT. NOW THESE ARE AVAILABLE FOR BOTH SIX LUG AND SEVEN LUG TRUCKS, AND THEY FEATURE QUALITY TIMKEN BEARINGS. THE ROTORS ARE AVAILABLE IN TWO DIFFERENT STYLES WITH THEIR OE FINISH OR YOU CAN UPGRADED TO THESE SLOTTED AND DIMPLED ROTORS. AND WITH PEOPLE KEEPING THEIR TRUCKS LONGER AND LONGER, YOU'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO REPLACE OR TURN THE ROTORS MORE OFTEN THAN YOU'LL HAVE TO REPLACE
THE WHEEL BEARINGS. NOT TO MENTION REMOVING AND INSTALLING THESE ROTORS OVER THESE HUBS IS A LOT EASIER THAN THE ORIGINAL VERSION. NOW THIS IS HOLLEY'S NEW THROTTLE BODY INJECTION
SYSTEM CALLED THE TERMINATOR EFI. NOW THIS IS A SELF LEARNING FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM,
MEANING YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A COMPUTER WHIZ TO GET IT UP AND RUNNING. IT TUNES AS YOU DRIVE. IT INCLUDES A HAND HELD TUNER OR INTERFACE, AND IT'S A GREAT CARBURETOR REPLACEMENT FOR YOU GUYS WANTING TO GO TO EFI, BETTER COLD STARTS AND IMPROVED DRIVABILITY.

(KEVIN)>> HEY, WELCOME TO THE SHOP. WELL THERE'S A SAYING THAT'S PRETTY COMMON AROUND THE HOT
RODDING WORLD, AND THAT IS THE LAST 20 PERCENT OF THE PROJECT TAKES 80 PERCENT OF THE TIME. AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHERE WE ARE WITH PROJECT SUPER DUALLY.

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DASH PAD FROM THE OLD FORD TRUCK, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S PRETTY BEAT UP. THE BROW'S MESSED UP, AND LOOK AT ALL THE CRACKS, IT'S JUST ROTTEN.
EACH ONE OF THOSE CRACKS REPRESENTS, OH, ABOUT AN HOUR'S WORTH OF REPAIR. SO IT JUST MADE MORE SENSE TO US TO REACH INTO THE LMC TRUCK CATALOG AND ORDER A BRAND NEW ONE.

SO REDUCE YOUR PRESSURE DOWN TO ABOUT 20 POUNDS AND YOU COULD SAFELY BLAST THIS PLASTIC WITHOUT EATING IT UP. YOU CAN SEE THE SHORT WORK THAT IT MAKES OF GETTING RID OF ALL THE SCHMUTZ IN THE TOP OF THAT TEXTURED CLASSIC. THIS TRIM PANEL TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO BLAST AND ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TO BLOW THE DUST OUT OF THE CRACKS. ONCE THAT WAS DONE, WELL YOU'RE READY TO GO, IT'S PREPPED. SO I'M PUTTING ON THREE FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL COATS OF THE COLOR BOND PAINT AND LETTING IT DRY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, PROBABLY AN HOUR AND A HALF. MAKE SURE IT'S GOOD AND DRY TO THE TOUCH AND THAT IT WON'T ROLL OFF ON YOUR FINGERS. NOW IN ANY RESTORATION JOB YOU'RE GONNA FIND STUFF THAT YOU JUST MISSED. AND THE GOOD THING ABOUT THE COLOR BOND AND THE INTERIOR PAINT IS THAT IT'S EASY TO USE AND REQUIRES MINIMAL PREP. YOU DON'T' HAVE TO SET UP A PAINT BOOTH TO USE IT.
TO INSTALL YOUR DOOR TRIM PANELS REQUIRES PUSH PIN TYPE CLIPS. ON THE REAR DOORS THERE ARE SPRING STEEL CLIP. ON THE FRONT DOORS THAT WITH THE LMC TRIM PANELS.

DOOR PULLS AS WELL AS THE WINDOW CRANKS, WE'RE IN GOOD ENOUGH SHAPE TO SAY. WE JUST CLEAN THEM UP WITH A LITTLE STEEL WOOL AND SOME
METAL POLISH FROM MOTHERS. NOW WITH THIS DOOR COMPLETELY FINISHED IT'S ONE MORE THING OFF THE LIST FOR SUPER DUALLY.
(KEVIN)>> HEY, WELCOME BACK. WELL TEST FIT AND MOCK UP IS CRITICAL WHEN YOU'RE BUILDING A VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY A CUSTOM VEHICLE WHERE THERE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS AT PLAY, AND THE INTERIOR IS NO EXCEPTION. FOR US WE'VE GOT LMC TRUCK ON OUR SIDE AND THE CARPET AVAILABILITY, EVEN FOR THIS ODD BALL TRUCK WITH A CLUB CAB, WE'VE GOT THE REAR CARPET SECTION WITH THE FOOT WELLS AND IT'S COMBINED WITH THE JUTE BACKING. SO WITH THE JUTE, WITH THE NICE CARPET, AND THE LIZARD SKIN SPRAY CERAMIC INSULATION WE'VE ALREADY GOT LAID DOWN ON THIS FLOOR, WE SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO. AND IT'S JUST A SIMPLE MATTER OF DOING A LITTLE BIT OF TRIMMING, MAKING SURE THE FOOT WELLS AND EVERYTHING LINES UP, WHICH WE'RE GOOD TO GO HERE BUT THE FRONT
SECTION WITH THE NEW DODGE SHIFTER, AND THE PEDALS, AND A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS THAT WE'VE GOT TO ACCOUNT FOR, SUCH AS WHERE IT COMES UP INTO THE TOE BOARDS. WELL I'VE GOT SOME TRIMMING, SOME MEASURING, SOME TRIMMING, AND SOME MEASURING, AND SOME TRIMMING, AND SOME MEASURING!
(RYAN)>> ALRIGHT, WELL KEVIN'S BEEN DOING SOME INTERIOR WORK AND CUTTING AND MEASURING CARPET, I'VE BEEN BUILDING SOME CUSTOM BUMPERS FOR OUR SUPER DUALLY. CAUSE ORDERING A PAIR OF THE OUT OF A CATALOG JUST
ISN'T GOING TO WORK. THEY'RE EITHER GONNA FIT THE FORD BODY OR THE DODGE FRAME. THEY'RE NOT GONNA FIT BOTH. SO WE HAD TO MAKE OUR OWN. WE STARTED WITH THIS CARDBOARD TEMPLATE. AFTER MOCKING THINGS UP IN CARDBOARD, WE TRANSFERRED THOSE MEASUREMENTS OVER TO OUR TORCH MATE CNC PLASMA CUTTER, WHICH MADE QUICK WORK OF CUTTING OUT THE PLATES. NOW WE REALIZE YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE ONE OF THESE TORCH MATES AT YOUR SHOP OR AT YOUR DISPOSAL, BUT YOU CAN GET THE SAME JOB DONE WITH A MAGIC MARKER, A STRAIGHT EDGE, AND A BAND SAW, OR EVEN A CUTOFF WHEEL ON YOUR ANGLE GRINDER. IT'LL JUST TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER. NOW WE'RE GONNA INCORPORATE A STEP INTO THE REAR BUMPER.
THESE DIMPLE DYED HOLES WILL ADD A LITTLE BIT OF TRACTION, STYLE, AND STRENGTH TO THIS OTHER WISE FLAT PIECE OF EIGHTH INCH STEEL. THEN IT'S TIME TO WELD ALL THIS MESS TOGETHER. AND SO WE DON'T CONCENTRATE THE HEAT IN ONE AREA OF THE BUMPER TOO MUCH, WE WELDED AROUND THE BUMPER IN DIFFERENT AREAS IN FOUR TO SIX INCH BEADS. THE SAME WITH YOUR GRINDING.
AND AFTER ALL THAT CUTTING AND WELDING, HERE'S WHAT WE ENDED UP WITH. WE MADE THIS FRONT BUMPER OUT OF THREESIXTEENTHS PLATE STEEL.
WE'VE GOT CUT OUT HOLES FOR FOG LIGHTS AND CUTOUT OBLONG HOLES IN THE CENTER TO HELP WITH AIR FLOW.
ALRIGHT NOW FOR THE REAR BUMPER IT'S MORE OF THE SAME. MOSTLY THREESIXTEENTHS PLATE STEEL EXCEPT FOR THE STEP PORTION, WHERE WE USED EIGHTH IN INCH PLATE JUST BECAUSE IT WAS EASIER TO BEND AND WORK WITH. NOW MOST OF IT IS MIG WELDED AND GROUND DOWN, BUT THIS WELD HERE, WELL WE WENT AHEAD AND TIG WELDED IT BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO GET A GRINDER IN THERE TO SMOOTH IT DOWN AND MAKE IT LOOK NICE. WE'VE ALSO ADDED A COUPLE OF HOLES FOR LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS. AND AS YOU SAW, WE ADDED A COUPLE OF DOZEN DIMPLE HOLES FOR A LITTLE BIT OF TRACTION ON OUR STEP.
AND SINCE THIS IS A WORK TRUCK AND WE'RE GONNA BE DRAGGING A TRAILER PRETTY OFTEN. WELL WE OBVIOUSLY NEED A TRAILER HITCH. SO WE WENT TO SUMMIT RACING AND PICKED UP THIS VFIVE RATED HITCH. IT'LL ALLOW US TO DRAG A TRAILER UP TO 10,000 POUNDS, OR 12,000 IF WE'VE GOT A WEIGHT
DISTRIBUTION HITCH ON IT. NOW JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE ON THIS TRUCK, IT HAD TO MODIFIED TO FIT. SO WE CUT THE CENTER LOOSE FROM THE END PLATES, MOVED IT UP, AND TUCKED IT IN A LITTLE BIT SO IT FIT OUR
FRAME A LITTLE BIT BETTER. LIFT WITH YOUR BACK, NOT YOUR KNEES.
(KEVIN)>> I'D RATHER LIFT WITH YOUR BACK.
THAT LOOKS GOOD MAN, COOL!
(RYAN)>> ALRIGHT!
(KEVIN)>> NOT GONNA FALL OFF NOW.
(RYAN)>> ALRIGHT, NOW WITH THE FRONT BUMPER INSTALLED
YOU CAN SEE THAT THESE OPENINGS AREN'T JUST TO BREAK UP THE DESIGN OF THE BUMPER. THEY'RE GONNA BE FUNCTIONAL ONCE WE TRIM THIS LOWER GRILL SHELL. NOW THAT'LL ALLOW AIR TO FLOW THROUGH HERE OFF THIS LITTLE SHEET METAL PANEL AND COOL THE BOTTOM OF THE A/C CONDENSER, INTERCOOLER, AND RADIATOR, HELPING THIS WORK
TRUCK RUN NICE AND COOL. NOW WE'VE LEFT ENOUGH SPACE DOWN HERE FOR OUR TRUCKS TAG AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO THROW SOME FOG LIGHTS IN HERE ONCE WE DO A LITTLE BIT MORE TRIMMING
OF THAT GRILL SHELL. BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE'RE PLENTY SIKED HOW THIS BUMPER TURNED OUT.
(KEVIN)>> HEY WELCOME BACK. WELL WHAT A DIFFERENCE A CARPET CAN MAKE TO THE INTERIOR OF A VEHICLE. THIS THING LOOKS LIKE A BRAND NEW TRUCK AGAIN. AND AS WELL AS THE TWO PIECE CARPET KIT, WE ALSO HAVE KICK PANELS TO INSTALL. I WANT TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO SOMETHING ELSE. THESE ARE THE POCKETS THAT GO UNDERNEATH THE DOOR TRIM
PANEL ON THE FRONT DOORS. WELL YOU KNOW WHAT, SEE YA, WORN OUT, NOT GONNA HAPPEN. SINCE THE TWO PIECE CARPET ENDED HERE, WE HAD A LOT OF EXTRA LEFT OVER. SO THANKS LMC, WHAT YOU'VE JUST GIVEN US IS THE ABILITY TO MAKE A NICE UPHOLSTERED PANEL TO GO UNDER THAT TRIM PANEL. HERE'S ANOTHER THING THAT WE GOT. THESE THRESHOLD PANELS ARE BRAND NEW.
THEY'RE AVAILABLE FOR THE F-150 AS WELL AS THIS CLUB CAB TRUCK, BUT THE TRANSITIONS ON THE BACK, WELL NOT SO MUCH. BUT HERE'S WHERE OUR BUDDIES FROM MOTHERS COME IN HANDY. THIS IS THEIR METAL POLISH, A LITTLE BIT OF STEEL WOOL BACK UP BY A MICRO FIBER, AND VOILA. WE MAKE OUR OLD THRESHOLDS AND TRANSITIONS LOOK JUST AS GOOD AS THE NEW ONES. SINCE THESE AREN'T AVAILABLE, THANKS MOTHERS, KINDA SAVED OUR BUTT.
(RYAN)>> NOW WE MADE OUR BUMPERS OUT OF HOT ROLLED STEEL. AND WITH THAT HOT ROLLED STEEL COMES THIS GREYISH MILL SCALE THAT'S A SLICK, KINDA HARD TO REMOVE SURFACE THAT'S DIFFICULT TO GET PAINT TO STICK TO. NOW IF THESE WERE JUST JEEP BUMPERS WE WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. THEY NEED TOUCH UP ANYWAY FROM GETTING BEAT UP ON THE ROCKS.
BUT FOR THIS TRUCK WE WANTED THE PAINT TO STICK FOR A GOOD LONG TIME. LUCKILY WE'VE GOT A BLAST CABINET LARGE ENOUGH TO STUFF THIS ENTIRE PUMPER INTO AND WE CAN SAND BLAST
THE MILL SCALE AWAY, CAUSE IT'S REALLY ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO DO SO. NOW THERE'S ALSO CHEMICALS YOU CAN USE TO TRY TO STRIP IT OFF, BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BLAST CABINET AND YOU DON'T WANT TO FOOL AROUND WITH CHEMICALS, WE WANTED TO SHOW YOU FIVE DIFFERENT WAYS TO TRY TO MECHANICALLY REMOVE THIS MILL SCALE WITH VARYING LEVELS OF SUCCESS.
YOU CAN PICK OUT WHICH WORKS BEST FOR YOU. NOW THE FIRST THING WE'RE GONNA TRY IS A WIRE BRUSH ATTACHMENT ON OUR FOUR AND A HALF INCH MATCO ANGLE GRINDER. AND WHILE THIS TOOL IS USUALLY PRETTY EFFECTIVE AT
REMOVING UNDERCOATING AND CRUD, IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT POLISH THE SURFACE. NEXT UP WAS A PNEUMATIC DYE GRINDER WITH A MEDIUM GRIT RECONDITIONING OR RESURFACING DISC ON IT. AND AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS, JUST MADE THE METAL SHINY. THEN WE MOVED ON TO A MEDIUM GRIT SANDING DISC ON A PNEUMATIC GRINDER. IT STARTED OUT LOOKING PRETTY PROMISING. THE DISC WAS MAKING QUICK WORK OF REMOVING THE SCALE, BUT THINGS KINDA WENT DOWN HILL AFTER THAT AS THE PAPER QUICKLY CLOGGED UP WITH THE TOUGH MILL SCALE AND IT WAS JUST KINDA RUBBING ON THE METAL AND POLISHING IT, BUT AT LEAST WE'RE ON THE RIGHT PATH. THEN IT WAS BACK TO THE ANGLE GRINDER AND COARSE
40 GRIT FLAP WHEEL FROM INDUSTRIAL DEPOT. THIS STARTED OUT LOOKING PRETTY GOOD TOO. DUE TO THE LAYERS IN THE FLAP WHEEL AND THE OVERALL GRIT OF THE FLAP WHEEL WE WERE MAKING PRETTY GOOD PROGRESS AND IT WASN'T DOING TOO MUCH DAMAGE TO OUR FLAP WHEEL. THIS COULD GET THE JOB DONE. THEN WE TRIED A STRIPPING DISC. IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE USE AROUND THE SHOP THAT OFTEN, BUT IT IS PRETTY EFFECTIVE. IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHAT A STRIPPING DISC IS MADE OF, IT'S BASICALLY INDIVIDUAL ABRASIVE GRAINS INTERSPERSED THROUGH AN OPEN WEB OF NYLON FIBERS. I THINK THE STRIPPING DISC DOES THE BEST JOB. IT REMOVES THE MILL SCALE WITHOUT CREATING 40 GRIT SCRATCHES EVERYWHERE. NOW ALL I'VE GOT TO DO IS FINISH STRIPPING IT SO KEVIN CAN PAINT.
