Let's take a moment to talk about all the benefits and features that are possible with your own customized garage for your next project! Whether you need a recreational room, sports court, toy storage and MORE... Morton has you covered. #NoMoreSortinJustGetAMorton

Let's take a moment to talk about something that can give you hints if you are paying attention. After finishing my morning workout and taking a walk onto my deck, I saw something that I've been meaning to get on video. While it may not contain a Morton or any steel roof of a competitor, the lesson is the same: Energy Efficiency! It MATTERS how your structure is constructed and insulated to enjoy the benefits of energy efficiency. #MortonMoment

Let's take a moment to talk about the reasons why you need and want to be here at the 2023 National Western Stock Show here in Denver Colorado #MortonMoment

In this video, I describe how I install rings onto the piston and then add the whole assembly into the short block. it's fairly elementary yet I am hoping it helps someone who may not know what to do.

I'm using this video to unbox a Gear Drive that's been sitting in my parts pile for over 20 years. I've always wanted the noisy bliss of a gear timing setup and I am going to make it happen. Follow along as I describe the parts, clearances, procedures, and everything that needs to happen in order for me to install the Cloyes system in my Junkyard Dawg!

In this video, I perform an unboxing review of the LSM Racing Spring Machine SM-600. It's well worth its retail price and I show you why. I explain the story behind the purchase and why I highly recommend this setup for most "hobby" racers and builders. Yet this setup is good enough for a serious machine shop as well.

In this video, I am explaining my piston ring filing and measuring procedures. I have a Proform 120v electric filer that I got from Summit racing equipment and it worked perfectly fine for the task at hand. I admit the video is a tad crude but I do explain the best I can and try to demonstrate as much as possible

Let's take a moment to talk about all the Cedar options available EXCLUSIVELY from Morton! In this example, we have our exclusive cedar steel panels and we went all-out with cedar wood wrap on the porch! #MortonMoment

In this video, I'll describe everything that I tried to get the pins fit to the rods without "bluing" the upper rod ends. I found it impossible to avoid. I made several attempts and finally found a way that works consistently. I explain the rod numbering for the small block Ford and how to assemble them for proper positioning. Finally, I demonstrate actually preparing, heating and assembling a rod/pin/piston combo

In this episode, I'll explain and demonstrate removing the factory rod bolts and installing the new ARP wave-loc fasteners in my rods with nothing more than a hammer and a press. Everything you see in this video is likely wrong in the "proper" way to install and run with new rod bolts; but you'll find out cause I will document this from start to finish!

In this installment of the Junkyard Dawg 302, we talk about the final cleaning and the start of short block assembly. We take a look at the pistons that are going to be used and the heads we contemplating for this setup. We are getting close to having the short block complete and ready for the heads.

Let's take a moment to talk about Gable Porches! Gable Porches add a ton of character, utility, and efficiency to any structure that will enhance the quality and comfort for your project. And Morton Buildings has some of the most durable and aesthetically pleasing designs around! #MortonMoment

In this video, I reveal the time I did something like this before and why I am doing it again. Plus, I give an update on the parts being used

Welcome back to the Ob1n channel. This video kicks off my start to the rebuild of my "Junkyard Dawg" engine. I'm trying to go cheap but yet use whatever is available in getting this engine back together for moving my car around. The engine is a C8OE 1968 casting and was found to have 1M 289 crank with .060 pistons in it. Originally, I was going to use a 1969 302 that a buddy and pulled out of his running 67 F100 but that turned out to be very, very worn out. Follow along as I get this thing cleaned up and assembled using the bare minimum of stuff lying around or things that I had to buy to achieve my goals

Follow along as I give my review of the Harbor Freight 20 ton shop press AND the upgrade to the 20 ton air/hydraulic bottle jack. I explain my experience using the press, installation of the handy pneumatic bottle jack, and demonstrate its operation.

Let's take a moment to talk about something that NOBODY ever cares to go over.... Jamb Protection! #MortonMoment

Hey all. Unfortunately, I didn't think to start video on a new project we just acquired until now.... which we've already stripped, blasted and now coated with Eastwood Platinum. Let me introduce you to our 1980 Foxbody Mustang project. The car was a "Moon Cobra" according to the tag at the radiator support. It was a 2.3 turbo, 4spd car. We got it and the turbo was already removed but the powertrain was turning over and made compression. It had mice living in the bell housing for a very long time due to the amount of feces we found. Our subject is going to be restored and swapped for a carburetor 351W. Like and subscribe to follow along as we continue to show you how it's done!

Let's take a moment to talk about Morton's EXCLUSIVE Hi-Rib soffit option that helps you to keep your porches, eaves, eyebrows, etc. looking like new and keeps the insurance company away as much as possible! #MortonMoment

#MortonMoment: Let's take a moment to talk about what WILL eventually happen to the color of steel used by "others"...

Let's take a moment to talk about going "the extra mile" in a project. This is something that you tend to experience in my area as a Morton client. Of course there are some limitations and we don't always get everything perfect, but we sure make our best efforts to try and that is something you just don't see much of anymore. #MortonMoment

Let's take a moment to talk about a situation in which a project might want to consider a "Lowers FIRST" procedure. Like and subscribe to #MortonMoment

Let's take a moment to talk about Morton's EXCLUSIVE insulation wall channel that is engineered into the bottom of your building when you choose to insulate your project. This gives you maximum energy efficiency in a very simple yet smart design. #MortonMoment

Here is another update for my 1971 Mustang quarter panel replacement. Moving forward slowly but definitely. The car has been banged up quite a bit but we have managed to get things done.

This is my quick review of my new, Tru Red 20 sheet paper/disc/credit card shredder. I got this at Staples and will be using for my home office. Unfortunately, my camera shut down halfway through the review so I had to make a Part 2 video to finish(look for it on my channel). Like and subscribe as I am always adding more content all the time
