American Savage Garage

My KitchenAid was whining. Turns out a bearing went bad. I walk you through that, and the replacement of the Armature. After I finished, I had no power. This was due to the faulty speed plate contacts. No part needed to repair that. Come along and learn from my mistakes.

California is only now “studying” the ban, but rest assured it is coming. They are coming for our cars, and our livelihoods. This means they are also seeking to limit our freedom. Classic auto industry needs to get organized, and move to states more friendly to our natural desire to live on owned space.

As promised, a yard crawl at my local pick. Mostly 1980s Ford Trucks, as is my particular affinity. But, I find a 1964 and 1966 Ford Cars, and have to take a look. Come along and leave comments on what I missed.

Restoring the Rosewood gauge cluster dash bezel, and kick panel restoration, pain, and texture coating. 1980 Ford Dash and kick panels restoration. Shot with SEM paint system—cleaner, prep, primer, texture, primer, paint. I restore original plastic because much of it cannot be found in the aftermarket. This is a video demonstrating how I do it in part. For any adhesive, I use Lokweld. For repairing cracks of the plastic, simple fiberglass resin and cut raw fiberglass.

The best we can do with fake wood plastic degradation. Learn one possible fix in this episode. Using Minwax and a silver paint for the trim.

Fixing cracks and tabes in interior plastic of 1980 F350

In this video I begin restoring interior plastic parts by repairing cracks and broken tabs.

I have other videos to upload, which will happen this coming week—they were originally uploaded to my older channel on YT. Companies mentioned will receive links when I formally review their products and relate how I will be using them in my resoteation project. I receive no money from any company and they do not know I am reviewing their products. Money spent is my own.

A 2018 Ford Truck cost $5600 all because of the water leak, which took out the cam bus system. We are going to become like Cuba if we do not stop this unsustainable over engineering of our vehicles. Modern cars mostly suck because they are over engineered, and force costly repairs. We are going to become Cuba if we do not get a handle on it, and this means in part deregulation of the market. But, the case must be made for men to create Owned space to do the work they want to do….

Removing and replacing a clockspring on a 2008/9 Kia Sportage After I had someone pull the code for my SRS light, I changed out the clockspring myself, then, it would not go out, so I bought a tool to save money. Here is what I bought: Ancel AD610+ (I got it on fire sale for 100): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVCYXNY?... 20 pin to 16 pin Adapter for Kia: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QLD19J5?... I highly recommend the latter and definitely recommend the AD610. It worked well in my situation, and works across several years and models, including ABS and SRS systems.
