Jeff & Shanna Just Simplifying

In the last video or interior door project kicked up but went off the rails pretty early. I regrouped, learned from my mistakes, and took another shot. Much better results this time. One of the two DIY doors is assembled and hung. You'll see me work through a few other issues and game-plan how to make more improvement to finish the rest of the project.

Shanna wants all new interior doors for the house. I decided to attempt to build them myself. I'm sure the idea will work in the long run but the start of the project doesn't go well as you will see. The style she wants is more of an old rustic style but not barn doors really. I am attempting to make them out of 2x6s and 1x4s from Lowe's. If it works I'll do the entire house. If they warp too much are are not straight enough I'll start over with higher quality lumber. For now though, I'm making all my mistakes on cheap lumber.

I'm finally getting around to starting the old Ford project. This week I go over my 1979 Ford F150 Custom. I bought it this spring as a summer project. I didn't know too much about Ford trucks but have learned a lot about these old dentside trucks as I've dug into it. Here soon I'll be installing a Summit Intake and carburetor and Hooker Headers. In the video I referenced the door sticker with the build codes. I show the door jam sticker but forgot to show the metal code plate on the door. Here is the info from it. Engine: 302 V-8 Transmission: C-6 2WD Paint Code: T - Candyapple Red Wheelbase: 133" Build Location: Norfolk Rear Axle Code: 13 (2.75)

The coves of Lake Sinclair have been overtaken this year with Hydrilla. This is an invasive species plant out of Asia. Apparently, it's an issue that is spreading across lakes throughout the country. Georgia Power lowers the water level of the lake every five years and it seems that when they filled it back up after this year's draw down, it must have spread the plant throughout the coves around the lake. The issue has been picked up on the local news as well. This video shows how much the plant can take over, how it affects enjoying the lake, and how we are treating it.

The work on the engine has started. If you haven't seen my other videos with the truck, here is a review. It is a 1979 Ford F150 Custom 2WD with a 302. I bought it about a year ago but it hadn't ran for several years before that. Progress has been slow going on getting all the parts I need, but I finally have everything I need to dig in. As I've said before, I just barely know what I'm doing. I'm sure I'm doing a lot of little things wrong throughout this. This is by no means a how to video! In this video I remove the intake system and get it cleaned up. Parts installed include: Summit M2008 500CFM Carburetor Summit Stage 1 Intake Manifold Kickdown spring perch kit ARP bolts for the intake and headers Autolite spark plugs Hooker long tube headers Felpro gaskets

Finally wrapped up the Vanco Big Brake kit install on the TJ and did an alignment while it was apart. Just Jeff and the Jeep mostly in this one. With a few guest appearances by Shanna.
