Project Binky Update: lt’s Back And It’s Badass, But Has Had To Have Some Tweaks

Despite being the most well thought out car build I’ve ever seen online, and also being finished to a much more show car level than anyone ever expected at the beginning of this whole project. And like everyone else online I’ve been super excited to see what’s in store and what progress has been made in the reassembly of this bad boy. Unfortunately there have been a couple of setbacks that are potentially a real problem, of the type you don’t want to deal with once a car is painted and ready for reassembly. But instead of looking at this as a negative, I look at it as reinforcement that when this happens to us normal people it doesn’t mean we suck.

Watch this latest video and if you missed any of this build before, then you need to dedicate your YouTube watching hours to this thing because it is epic in every way and will teach you things about how to build cars better. No, really, it will.

Sheet Metal Tech: Fitzee Shows Us How To Make Truck Bed Floor Panels With Simple Tools You Have

Fitzee is awesome to watch, not only because he has great sheet metal reproduction skills, but also because he is willing to share all his tips and tricks in his great how-to videos. And while he frequently shows how to fix quarter panels, rockers, cab corners, etc, there are a lot of folks who need to figure out a way to repair and replace parts of their steel bed floor in a truck. Or, they are making a custom bed floor for a notch or something and need to make some panels that look stock so they fit with the original bed.

Fitzee makes this with simple tools and a homemade sheet metal brake that you can build yourself no problem. His simple but effective methods will inspire you and should help you with your projects by getting rid of the fear to try it. The worst you can do is screw up a piece of sheetmetal, so why not go after it? I don’t own a truck that has a bed floor currently in need of work, but I have a square body dually that at some point next year will likely need a factory looking notch cover in the bed and I’ll certainly be using Fitzee’s method to make what I need.
