    Why am I so fascinated about these videos? I know nothing about cars, have never attempted any repairs and never will, and only check my oil level when I realize it's been months. And all this for being the original owner of a 1990 MB 560SEL

    How about that, Ray. It's a pre-'click' episode.

    Hard to Believe welding in shop with many potential explosive, fire hazards close by……like in-tank fuel pump being replaced two bays over !
    Lotsa good internet Moms welding tips for Ray…. really folks. Welding, as with any hand skill is only learned by experience. Osmosis via internet ?…. not so much.

    why do american cars leak?

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Robey says:

    It is amazing to look at this video made a year ago and to see the amount of improvement made in your current videos. Experience is a teacher.

    What lubricant were.
    you using there Ray?

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars OldBaldGuy says:

    Don't forget to top up the bumper fluid! 😂

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel Johnson says:

    Yeah I’d let you fix my exhaust if I had a split in something. I know I will burn a hole in it and if it’s already broke?

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jcc8t7 says:

    Wow, you are a really bad welder. Like I only ever welded in high school and that was like 20 years ago, but yikes. I wonder if I’d be just as rough now…. Maybe that should be my next adhd fix

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars YHRIM says:

    "hum… it broke sitting in the parking lot" 😂🤣😂

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LTP Ma says:

    LOL !!!!… yeah you suck at welding just like me before .When I was a beginner, but practice practice make you a better welder , specially stainless steel with argon gas . Help you weld better and seal tight on galvanized steel

    GM products always leak blinker fluid around the rear bumper

    The grinder I have makes me the welder I ain't

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jos de Koning says:

    I don't think this repair is gonna last, due to the fact that when an exhaust starts leaking, it's time to replace it. The iron is very thin, welding is difficult and the time and labour to weld it makes it almost as expensive as replacing it for a new one. 'pennywise, pound foolish', as the English say. I'm from Holland, by the way

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars rick galla says:

    Ray sometimes the pretty welds fail

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matthew Vorys says:

    Its my cheap, and I wanitnow!
    An Iwanit to last for an eternity lmao

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Black Terminal says:

    a roll of duct tape will be cheap. it will last long enough for them to drive away

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MrDillon2029 says:

    I’ll never EVER buy cats again idc if it’s my daily or not I’ll cut the damn thing and just weld a piece of pipe. If you live somewhere where cops might give you trouble if it’s to loud, just cut a flap in the cat get a piece of rebar and hammer and go to town busting up the crap inside and weld back up the flap so it still looks like you got one

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Greg Blau says:

    Up north people fill their truck beds with snow for traction. This leads to some very leaky bumpers

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Devin Gorge says:

    Can you tell us how much these projects cost while doing them, I mean at least an estimated. Please

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tom Cole says:

    OMG!! All the taillight fluid is leaking out, quick catch it!!

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mastiffnomad says:

    Your a mechanic not a welder the customer should be happy the leak is fixed, or he could pay a welder to make it look pretty then pay you to reinstall it

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars G R says:

    Stupid Cats anyway.
    And that core is half plugged up.
    Blow out the cats with a live air hose in reverse.
    Do not look into the cats while doing this…..😂
    Poof ! And you’ll taste burnt platinum for a year… 😂👍

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan Freiday says:

    I forgive you for your weld job, but it will hold, hard to weld that thin stuff, your short tacks got penetration and you didn't blow any holes, good enough to last, next it will be the other end,

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian Adams says:

    When tig welding anything you should block the bright light cause its not safe for viewers to look at

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LouisianaOutlaw says:

    Did he atleast change the muffler bearing? 😂

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars PT Invite says:

    Wobbly bits are good, they make the best gf's

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Laurence Fuglaar says:

    I have heard that bumper liquid can be used as blinker fluid. Have you tried this?

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fred Croad says:

    Great job, 👍.. it worked.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Niquot says:

    Yea … i think you can take a course at welding … 😀

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Xenon says:

    gettin a dislike because there was no fire

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Madow says:

    If you are in MA the union shop, you can not weld the muffler, you have to force the customer to buy the whole exhaust system. I originally in MA and I moved out in 1995. In Southern California, we weld the muffer, it cost only $25.00 in in the getto shop.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Ferrara says:

    Neat you weld like I do. I have half a car welded like that been driving 20 plus years and I am not ashamed of the welds or how the car looks. : ) Old 1967 mustang coupe 200 I6. Drove it up to Washington state from Northwest Florida. It's been in a lot of Seattle traffic too. C4 automatic and 4 wheel drum brakes. No a/c no power steering. No power brakes. The whole car is very ugly but very oem. Easy to work on and repair as you can guess. Have a great day, love the videos you make, click : )

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tim Nissen says:

    Well that was new i have never ever loosened or moved the sway bar to do the Y pipe on a Chevy

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rudy Mondragon says:

    Remember: GM WAS making several Cheverolet and GMC pickups..in MEXICO, so the parts must be GENUINE FACTORY PARTS (Made in Mexico)

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ryan s says:

    those welds may be a deterrent for tweakers. they could think someone was here and gutter the cats.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joseph Steffen says:

    Factory emissions equipment is required to last 7 years. I think that's Federal Law. I could be wrong? As far as your birdsit weld: no worries…for atleast 10 years!

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sleddarcheddar says:

    Oh God. The welds. Lol

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sleddarcheddar says:

    Man you got it nice. Minnesota shit makes all fastener removals reaaaallly fun.

    Customer left his junk truck in your parking lot because he had no place else to store it.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars S. Cottrill says:

    Did you ever tighten up the sway bar linkage at the tire

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rick Stivers says:

    I’m glad you stepped into the camera for minute so I could put a face to the voice. I have to say you don’t look like I expected. Keep up the great work. I really enjoy the videos.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars lololine 1970 says:

    Awesome videos

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars len king says:

    Please don't video any sort of mig, arc or tig welding as it will burn the lens and chip set in your camera. I'm a video guy and it cost me dearly when I did it.
