It works with the key fobs. 612 00:25:54,410 --> 00:25:57,043 SO, when you walk by and the key fob is gonna sense it 613 00:25:57,109 --> 00:25:59,543 and automatically pop the door open like that. 614 00:25:59,610 --> 00:26:01,209 So, you got a nice grab spot. 615 00:26:01,209 --> 00:26:03,710 But we're still gonna put a safety mechanism 616 00:26:04,710 --> 00:26:05,710 in the door. 617 00:26:05,710 --> 00:26:07,610 So, if anything fails, 618 00:26:07,610 --> 00:26:10,410 you still have a pull cable that you can access, 619 00:26:10,410 --> 00:26:13,255 you know, in that secret spot

00:26:16,610 --> 00:26:19,543 is just putting the handle in the right spot. 623 00:26:19,610 --> 00:26:21,309 I mean, you can't put it too far back 624 00:26:21,309 --> 00:26:23,643 'cause it will end up in the door jam itself. 625 00:26:23,710 --> 00:26:28,443 So, finding that cool little spot where everything works right 626 00:26:28,510 --> 00:26:29,543 is key. 627 00:26:30,710 --> 00:26:32,410

00:26:44,209 of the actual handle itself. 634 00:26:44,209 --> 00:26:45,810 Because I wanna cut my hole smaller. 635 00:26:45,810 --> 00:26:48,209 That way I can slowly 636 00:26:48,209 --> 00:26:51,743 open it to where my handle fits perfectly. 637 00:26:51,810 --> 00:26:54,710 When doing this right here, it's a one-time process. 638 00:26:54,710 --> 00:26:57,209 So, there's no room for error. 639 00:26:57,209 --> 00:26:59,843 So, that's gonna leave me about an eighth of an inch 640 00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:01,410 to where I can slowly file it 641 00:27:01,410 --> 00:27:03,309 top to bottom to get a precise fit. 642 00:27:12,309 --> 00:27:13,255 So, when I'm cutting this, 643 00:27:13,255 --> 00:27:13,910 So, when I'm cutting this, 644 00:27:13,910 --> 00:27:16,143 I just have to

00:28:43,410 --> 00:28:45,010 I'm gonna start by 680 00:28:45,010 --> 00:28:47,309 taking some measurements off the dashboard here. 681 00:28:47,309 --> 00:28:49,143 Get in the computer, get it laid out. 682 00:28:49,209 --> 00:28:50,143 And at that point, 683 00:28:50,143 --> 00:28:51,309 I'll be able to lay out my design 684 00:28:51,309 --> 00:28:52,610 and the ideas that I have. 685 00:28:54,610 --> 00:28:56,510 Program set and ready to go. 686 00:28:56,510 --> 00:28:59,643 I got some aluminum locked up in the CNC router. 687 00:28:59,710 --> 00:29:02,043 Hit it with a little bit of lube. 688 00:29:02,109 --> 00:29:03,309 If we don't do this, 689 00:29:03,309 --> 00:29:06,043 the aluminum will gall up in a bit, 690 00:29:06,043 --> 00:29:07,810 it will start chattering, get chunks in it 691 00:29:07,810 --> 00:29:08,910 and mess up your part. 692 00:29:09,843 --> 00:29:11,610 And off to work. 693 00:29:13,510 --> 00:29:15,510 This being aluminum, you only get one chance. 694 00:29:15,510 --> 00:29:17,810 You can't go in body fill and re-paint. 695 00:29:17,810 --> 00:29:19,376 It's either right or it's wrong. 696 00:29:19,376 --> 00:29:21,843 So, we'll have to babysit this one a little bit more than usual 697 00:29:21,910 --> 00:29:22,785 just to make sure everything is still running good and on track. 698 00:29:22,785 --> 00:29:25,043 just to make sure everything is still running good and on track. 699 00:29:25,710 --> 00:29:26,810 But once it's done, 700 00:29:26,810 --> 00:29:28,343 part that's gonna come out of the machine 701 00:29:28,910 --> 00:29:29,743 will look perfect. 702 00:29:33,043 --> 00:29:34,343 Nice, gooey mess. 703 00:29:36,910 --> 00:29:38,610 So, CNC router has done its job. 704 00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:40,343 Everything is cut out and ready to go. 705 00:29:42,209 --> 00:29:43,777 That's gonna be cool. 706 00:29:43,777 --> 00:29:45,910 With this being aluminum, I didn't wanna cut all the way through 707 00:29:45,910 --> 00:29:48,209 and have these pieces come loose and go flying around, 708 00:29:48,209 --> 00:29:50,943 so I stopped just before I got to the bottom. 709 00:29:51,010 --> 00:29:52,143 Now, we'll take a jigsaw, 710 00:29:52,710 --> 00:29:52,785 trim it out. 711 00:29:52,785 --> 00:29:53,510 trim it out. 712 00:29:54,710 --> 00:29:55,943 Go over to the hand router, 713 00:29:55,943 --> 00:29:58,043 real quick run around on these parts and we'll be done. 714 00:30:03,410 --> 00:30:06,410 We finished the custom air suspension on that '53 tanker. 715 00:30:09,410 --> 00:30:11,643 Now, to give it a huge modern update 716 00:30:11,710 --> 00:30:12,910 with that power steering. 717 00:30:13,843 --> 00:30:15,510 [Jamie] What we got going on right now 718 00:30:15,510 --> 00:30:19,143 is we're taking out the whole hydraulic steering. 719 00:30:19,143 --> 00:30:21,309 You know, we'll try to bring it back modern 720 00:30:21,309 --> 00:30:22,785 where everybody can drive this truck. 721 00:30:22,785 --> 00:30:23,443 where everybody can drive this truck. 722 00:30:23,510 --> 00:30:26,510 You get in this thing, you're not gonna have to fight that big wheel, 723 00:30:26,510 --> 00:30:27,610 nothing like that. 724 00:30:27,643 --> 00:30:29,510 So, what we're gonna do is gonna put rack and pinion 725 00:30:29,510 --> 00:30:30,543 power steering in this truck. 726 00:30:34,743 --> 00:30:37,043 Get this side down, that's my drop down 727 00:30:37,043 --> 00:30:38,309 to hold my column up top. 728 00:30:38,309 --> 00:30:39,943 We got our collar right here. 729 00:30:40,010 --> 00:30:42,309 This is gonna locate the bottom of our column. 730 00:30:42,309 --> 00:30:43,910 It's very important to get this right, 731 00:30:43,910 --> 00:30:45,343 so our steer linkage is good. 732 00:30:46,410 --> 00:30:48,143 Kinda liking that right here. 733 00:30:51,109 --> 00:30:52,785 Right now, I'm just checking to make sure my column is straight. 734 00:30:52,785 --> 00:30:53,810 Right now, I'm just checking to make sure my column is straight. 735 00:30:53,810 --> 00:30:56,243 That sheet metal work, I can make that 736 00:30:56,309 --> 00:30:57,910 anyway I want to. 737 00:30:57,910 --> 00:30:59,943 But this right here, I wanna make sure it's parallel. 738 00:31:00,010 --> 00:31:01,209 You don't wanna be driving. 739 00:31:01,209 --> 00:31:03,543 And the steering will be like this or this. 740 00:31:03,610 --> 00:31:07,410 So, make sure everything looks true. 741 00:31:07,410 --> 00:31:10,410 I'm happy with that right there. 742 00:31:10,410 --> 00:31:12,543
