One question: what's the expected service life of the laser itself? When these type of devices came onto the scene a few ago (with continuous laser, I assume) the laser would gave, say, a 5000 hour service life before needing replacement. Pulsed and lower power likely will have remedied this.

Hey dude, good presentation, could you please send me the contact information for your supplier. Well done.

Minor nit-picking @2:24 The laser energy _ablates,_ not _abelates,_ all the crud, paint and rust. "Abelation" has an "e" too much. Sorry for my OCD acting up.😅

A prime example of why you should go to people that refinish wheels for a living and not just cut corners doing it yourself. His refinish job still looks bad.

Awesome mate! Keep em comong!

Anyone know any tricks for getting the flange back on the spline? I cleaned everything carefully and put some anti-sieze on the spline to try to lubricate it, but after fighting it for a couple of hours, I can't get it on there.

10/10 on this video, my good man. I'm going on a parts hunt tomorrow to try to cobble together a complete AC system, and your video did everything for me. Fingers crossed I have AC before the real summer hits!

I wish I had your patience people can be so irritating at times. How much did this cost why did you pour floor after the posts will rot. Geez people leave this guy alone read before asking the same stupid questions. Why does he have to answer the same questions over and over. Like the old saying goes can't fix stupid.💯 Nice video thanks for sharing it Ryan 👍

Do the coolant pipes need a gasket or RTV?

Nice job straightening the aluminum rim. I have to do the same. I only have different size floor jacks and small trolley jacks. Im wondering if the small trolley jack will work? Also what do you think the best way to make opd aluminum rims look good again? Thank you 👍👍

just bought a clean ace air purifier for our 1997 sahara model cant wait to install it

Good video! Lots of good info you know a lot about painting! I used turbo paint to repaint my TA turn out really good but one year later it was just as faded as it was before. I’m guessing I needed to put clear coat over it for it to stay shiny?

Google rust encapsulator it's in the UK it's similar to red oxide but has better properties in it great stuff comes from a company called Buzzweld.

Great instructional! Now I feel like I could do this.

👍

Great dad❤

That Frame is TRASH..... Are you going to weld repair it or replace it ??

Can I ask why you waited 7 days for the "back" to dry? did you conversely wait another 7 days for the front to dry before you mounted tires on it? Thanks.

I dont see how that replacement floor could even be the correct part.

Fantastic video, very complete. Probably the best I've seen in years due to the amount of important detail you included. You have a talent for teaching and laying things out clearly. Well, done.

this was great i need to replace seal on my 89 supra this was just what i was looking for! thankyou

AMAZINGNES!!! Coming along real nicely!

Not a fan of the textur🤷‍♂️

The best thanks heaps

@6yeargarage What is the training needed to be able to use one of this machines? Thanks!! 😊

Thanks for the excellent videos. You have inspired me to repair the rusted floors in my 1969 Cadillac convertible instead of paying someone else to do the work for me.

Thank you for the wonderful detailed video and special thanks for translating the subtitles! Спасибо!

Are you making any money with your laser or do you just use it in your own projects?

Love this. Not only do we see your fine craftsmanship but its good to know that you are putting old cars back on the road better than when the manufacturer originally built them.

Your are is great home body services❤

i got a 1987 toyota hilux ute, you videos are priceless thanks

You're doing great work on that truck! No shortcuts. No laser welder to clean up that cab wall? I guess it's good to stay humble.😛 Are you keeping the stock alternator on this truck? Alternators in old mini trucks are pretty weak - my '76 Ford Courier only has 35 amps stock and I would love to upgrade it so I can run an electric cooling fan, maybe even a stereo (no joke, my truck didn't even come with a radio. Wouldn't surprise me if your 1980 Toyota was about the same. Just an idea - but I'd like to see you do a video about swapping to a higher-power version. Maybe a GM 3-wire? I know the GM 1-wire is the overwhelming popular choice, but I think that's because it's simple, not because it's best. I'd prefer to use one with exciter and voltage-sensing wires connected.

Nice work! and great editing; keep up the great work!

Nice magnets! I need to get some like that 😂🤙🏻

Nice work! 👏👍

Just got brand new grill pieces for mine and then got in an accident she’s totaled now but this is super helpful for me so I can correctly take those grill piece covers off! I’m hoping reattaching is as easy as unattaching

Change your vocal delivery a tad, and you become Christopher Walken.

You must wait 30 days before applying any sort of wax, because the clearcoat continues to outgas for up to a month. Wax would trap the solvents creating a risk of coating failure.

what about using ultrasound?

97 LX 450 boy do I have a lot of work a head of me.

I have to do the same job on my truck.

I had to weld up a lot of the drivers side frame on my 2011 gmc sierra and once i cut out all the rust i blew out the frame really well i ended up making my own long extension hose attachment but anyway after i got it all done i used pb blaster surface shield inside and outside the frame i basically hosed it. and i would recoat the inside frame every 2 years. I also live in Ohio and man that road salt brine crap really eats the metal up. Now i'm gonna try this new homemade coating recipe i come up with here it is: 2.5 pounds of grease, 1qt boiled linseed oil, 40oz motor oil (used or new), 8oz paraffin wax, 8-12oz diesel fuel to thin it. and that should make 1 gallon melt it all together and spray it HOT once it cools down should be a nice thick sticky grease like under coating that will last a pretty long time. shouldn't cost very much either to gather all those up just buy the cheapest stuff you can get. I already have a ton of used motor oil and paraffin wax so that already cut my cost down and since i use to do a different undercoating that i HOT sprayed on in previous years I don't have to buy a hot plate. You could try this undercoating out and let me know how it went. I use a fluid film undercoating sprayer with metal cans.

Good video. The only thing I noticed that was not covered or you didn't do was to spray a rust inhibitor or converter inside the frame channel before you welded the reinforcement plates. You took enough time and attention to remove the flaked off rust and junk inside, that it seems like an additional and critical step or precaution could have been taken. There's a product that can be applied directly onto rust and is actually used on the hulls and upper parts of ships, and it can be primered and painted over ; called NAVAL JELLY.

AMAZINGNES!!!

Is that child labour still available?

thank you 😭 the light wouldn’t remove itself even tho the oils been changed

Excellent idea, nice presentation. Thank you as these is great question.

Good video. I just wonder how this works if you do beach driving? I would think all that beach sand would stick to all that oil and make a real mess. Then how to clean it all off? I imagine high pressure water would take the Fluid Film off?

Great work ,i think you should return those sprays as a fault item and buy the paint for gun ,less headache for you !

From where can I get all the stuff for repair
