The music sucks! Very Demonic! Never never land!😮
Great to view the process ⚡️thank you Howard and team👍🇦🇺
Don't use Metallica, you are POS.
how much would you sell this once it's complete
Sure knows how to build a car, looking forward to more, and the completion! Great work, Howard!
More to come!
Thanks Howard, was really good fun to have you come and visit us mate!! Looks like a few want to see the family car collection here too, let's see what we can do next time you're up ok. :)
Hey Dan, sounds good, Ill be in touch
All in the detail, beautiful work, 😎 looking forward to the next episode 👍🤩
Thank you very much!
Nice work Howard. It will have the cleanest drip rails, window mouldings and roof panels. Better than factory.
That's the plan!
Good to see the you and Darren back on the panel Van, a lot more work than meets the eye! Pre fitting is King! The Boys at Ford loved that lead! Howard been an ex Chippy ""don't choke your hammer"" my dad would have said! Bill Mc
Yeah I know mine too, but I wanted more control and less power so the choke was applied.
There is a few things wrong Howard and totally understand you are learning. The shell should be braced on a rack when removing such a big turret. The car is on a rotisserie. Now it’s welded back on in this position and the lead wipe join is also welded on. this will be hardened joins. You are better of fiberglass filling these areas like you do. The turret should have been welded on with the shell braced on a rack or on its wheels. Lead wipe areas are done for a reason from factory for the shell to flex. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work
the Van is a ute with a roof so I don't believe there is any need for bracing. As for the lead it was done to fill a fixed joint that has extensive spot welding. i dont believe the joints on these models move. The overall body will twist but not through the joint otherwise it would be evident when the paint and lead is removed. Thats my take on it.
And that my friends was just a small piece in a very large puzzle. Looking good Howard.
Cheers mate, your right there.
Good work mate.
Thanks for the visit
Coming along nicely mate 👌👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Howard, always was , always will be, one of the GOATS, of car building.
Thanks for the support and encouragement
This video has made my week, so happy to see you back on the van. I have a feeling your driver may still win a few trophies.
We shall see, ill be just doing what I like, just like the mustang
Carl mills …
Im sure Carl gets plenty of work after the moulding don't fit and the paints all finished
@@AstillDesign his always flat out I drop into lismore and see him now and then nearly gotta book a appointment 🤣🤣🤣 press the button at the gate
Love it
Cheers mate
Nice work love PPG products and like any welding to much heat Is your enemy as spot welding could buckle the roof skin or pull heat dent in the sides as I learnt in my apprenticeship in panel beating great video and very talented Work
Thanks for your input
I love the editing
Louise is doing a super job
@AstillDesign it's great not watching several minutes of say sanding or grinding like a few other guy's I watch
Yeah, me too. Bloopers included.
Rookie question, but with the windscreen mouldings, why did you fit them without the glass dummy fitted. I know some of the older Holdens, the moulding, seal and glass all come out and go back in as one. I did have an old 66 Ute where the previous owner filled the gaps in with sickaflex (all hidden behind the mouldings) and it did less than nothing to keep the rain out 😂
I did mention that the mouldings are held on with clips. The screen is urethaned in and moulding fitted after.
Great show to watch especially the window corners
Cheers mate
Great video Howard! The details you go to is unbelievable! Keep it going! Still golfing?
Had my first game of Competition yesterday in over 12 months
great work , as always . I understand your restoring this to original , curious about instead of welding the roof skin on could you have used panel bond ? I've seen guys do it on all sorts of panels , just looking for your thoughts , spot weld vs panel bond for reinstalling panels
Being an old school backyarder I have never used panel bond so have no reference to comment.
@@AstillDesign thank you for the reply, I completely understand , I'm at a crossroads with it , lol
Wow! The roof looks like it has a black liquid in it. Stunning!
Smiley face
Excellent video mate. Ive been looking forward to this. Very complex job replacing that roof skin, but you have it all under control.
Thanks 👍
The underside of that roof skin looks amazing, will sort of be a a shame to put in a roof lining.
True
I would love to see this panel van in the original metallic brown again. But I think from memory you said you were going to do it in a different colour ? From William. My UA-cam channel is: Bill's Channel 1987
If I remember correctly, Howard intends to build it along a similar line to his original van, colour wise, and go with a nice green pearl metallic of some kind.
Yes will be a modern version of Sherwood Green
@@AstillDesignthat's a Chrysler colour I believe. I suspect other car makers bought from the same paint supplier but changed the name.
Great show as always. the van's looking great.
Glad you like it
Great to see ya back on the van
Yeah when I can
Great turnout of some beautiful cars and trucks. Great job doing the camera work also. Cheers ✌️
Glad you enjoyed it
used to drive them to Nats in the day...thats what street machining was about
Yeah this is a whole new level that has been created over the last 10 years or so.
I can listen to you for hours. I currently own the exact same model, and boy, do I wish to have mine getting a makeover like that.
Hi, thanks for the support. Is yours still all original?
1984 HDT cars do NOT have the engines they ran at Bathurst - totally different engines & different parts . Any of the mechanics will tell you the truth about the 2 cars .
Yes that's pretty fascinating, although hardly unexpected by many, or pushed by ourselves or anyone else these great old racecars actually do? You may personally not be aware that racecars live a very different, harder life over what many road cars ever do. It's due to that purposeful way they were used that very few will ever retain their original numbered engines, or if they do, they are best put on a shelf if you wish to continue using them as originally intended. We are in the middle of doing our best to get #25 back to what it was though, almost a year and half into it now, even tracking down the super rare original twin point, twin coil ignition, mechanical tach systems that Repco helped make for HDT in the day. After this is done you'll see and hear it back on track racing again, hopefully at Bathurst this year for the 40 year anniversary. :)
I think Jon has made his own luck
I think you might be right!
What about PPG's Vibrance line VB2050 DTM-Epoxy high build? They sell it in the states and used in California so it fits "National Rule".
We don't have that option here is Australia.
@@AstillDesign It is beyond belief that products sold in Canada, USA or Australia are not available to each other. Spending 4 decades fixing vehicles, mostly dealers, I end my career teaching, holding 4hr tech seminars and defective parts returned to distributors for ACDelco, the cause is each government. Why? It is up to manufacturers to provide technical, documents, product proof of performance and a bus load of lawyers. No wonder the price of simple things keep going up in price. You are in business to make a living while paying for 9 different insurance policies, permits, equipment, etc. Like an alignment machine! It is out of date two weeks after you train a tech & learn how to use it. God bless and have a lucky one!
Tops again Howard! As I have said before some really cleaver people in Aus! Big thanks to Jon for his time along with you Howard for an interesting interview and not forgetting Fuzz's contribution
Cheers Bill
You know what GTS stands for? Geez That’s Slow 😂
I didn't know that, but now I do!
👍🏻👍🏻😀
Thanks mate
Wow! I love that LS manifold that pays homage to the VL/VN Group A manifolds! Would be a special addition to an LS powered Group A tribute.
Couldn't agree more!
Howard I just wish you would let people finish what they are saying instead of interrupting them or pan over to something else, it’s quite annoying
My wife has been telling me that for years, I'll see what I can do.
Great video, great engineering!
Glad you enjoyed it!
At the 6.11 mark, Howard has a Biden moment and ignored Jon's conversation to walk off and look at a picture on the wall. Interviewing is not your niche Howard. 😂
Maybe because that’s what he was talking about. I’m more a car builder trying my best to bring you stuff that no one else is.
@@AstillDesign I understand, no disrespect meant. Keep them coming mate. 😎👍
Good to have guys off your calibre in the Ford camp. 👍👊💥
Right on
Great interview Howard.
Thanks mate, not everyone seems to think so.
Well they can go and watch another channel. Time to get back onto your PV. LOL
Love the channel, Howard. I was born in Broken Hill in 1980 and I think you did some work with my cousin in the early 90's on his XY Falcon up there. Loved reading Street Machine from the early days and seeing the quality of show cars you created. All the Rock cars and the retro-tech compact Fairlane that was way before its time. I remember seeing it for sale in Unique Cars and wishing I could afford it. Keep it up. Absolute legend of the scene
Very cool!
Please let Howard look through your Dads shed👍
Thanks!!
Dan great job ..in the top 5 of your vlogs ....thank you ..
Glad you like them!
Great episode Howard, would love to see the private collection if possible. Bowdens are such great hosts.
Yes will be good if we can pull it off
I know you’re a ford fan. That commodore though, was that the Bathurst when Brock slowed so they could cross the line together. I’m relying on my memory instead of using google
Not sure about that one.
Boring as..fk🥱
