Just some thoughts to share. As you know, once you replace those "pretty" hinges, you'll then know how much of the bow still exists and where along the fender line. Liked your idea regarding heat and sand bags/weight. Depending upon the length of the bow, you may want to consider a full length support under hood edge along fender line to mitigate waving and have the steel fender be a template/guide for where you want the hood to sit (height-wise). Let that car cook in the southern sun, measure heat with a pyrometer so you can figure out how much heat you're going to need to reach some small/incremental change in the right direction. Google or discuss what happens to CF after being heated and cooled with water. If strength is compromised, you may want to know that. I do not know. As a hobbyist, I've done this with fiberglass using heat lamps & hand helds. I would find the temperature where the material would reach some flexibility and would stop the heat, hold in place, and sinch with water. In all cases, it took several passes, but it worked out well for me in the end. Perhaps, I got lucky. The hood is expensive and I believe you can fix it with patient testing, heat, pressure, and cooling. Best wishes, -D

Love this idea .

I would like info

I have never uploaded a video now to and I’m a very handy guy that have done a million diy at home . But I don’t do videos on, anyways I appreciate someone like you doing video and give your opinion on things never do criticize because I done no videos myself. Take the good advice and the trolls criticism let them be , they will never prospered that’s why they criticize. I follow a guy name COLTS WAY and all though he does what I do for a living (LINEMAN) he says it very clear . I don’t care what you think or say that’s his way on doing it. Great video and I appreciate it. You gain another follower. Thx

I have a set of Forgeline GA1R for my STI. Everything this guys said was 100% on point. I can't recommend Forgeline enough.

Can I sale in kenya

My thumbs up is only for me to keep track on what I have watched on the various car videos I have watched. But deep down I wanted to give a thumbs down for your bad experience..... but a thumbs ups for sharing, soooo thanks for sharing Ian. I enjoy what you share🇦🇺

As I began shopping for a lift and realized that going from 10k to 12k switches from direct drive to chain drive, I balked a bit as I want/need the 12k. Then I thought, how are hundreds of thousands of fork-lifts (which I used to use in the workplace) doing their lifts? With chain drive. It's not the end of the world!

Well that sucks. Won’t be buying those hinges. I have no doubt you will get it straightened out

i would think when you buy a carbon hood that there would be a disclaimer on what hinges they reccomend. Good luck man. put a steel hood on it. so id moreso blame the hood guy especially since he said " he sees this all the time"

Maybe the hood is junk .....

just curious about your car do you drive it without any paint coatings on it and do you get many rusty spots showing up

That sucks man. Have you tried: A. Removing the gas struts just to see what happens? B. Placing a 1/8 inch thick shim between the hood hinge and the hood on just the back bolt closest to the firewall to raise the back edge up and readjusting? C. Trying the hood with stock hinges and low tension springs? As for the bowing, I would suggest with the hood bolted to the car and the hood hinge springs removed, latching it in the front, and then placing some sandbags on the hood where it’s bowed up in the direct sunlight to press downward. Hope you get it straightened out.

Remove the hood and turn it upside down bolted to a couple of 2x4's then put a hair dryer or two under it. Make sure you put a stop so that when it goes the other way it wont hyper extend. When you do get it the way you want it I strongly recommend going with a hood prop as even a little pressure pushing up with a hot engine on a hot day when parked will bow it with any amount of gas shock. Just so you know I have been a professional laminator and boat builder for over 40 years, resulting in having built lots of race and street car parts in composite materials.

How do you switch to ALUS mode? When I press the button it skips over ALUS.

Hey man. You mentioned that you lifted your brother Vette. Did you have to place the car more back? I have a C6 and my hoist arms are too long. Two arms are lining up with the lift points but only between the two portions of of the arm (main part and extending part)

I found the Black Diamond coal slug works on everything Especially on rust

How much for you to build me one lol

If you don't have a sand blaster could you use a chemical strip dip?

Try to make another box like the one you made only use heat guns through holes on all four corners. Slightly tilt to where it creates a vortex. I've always wanted to see the temperature difference on that.

stupid and unsafe

I would have bought this one had it been made in USA - i purchased a Handy RAM (2500 rated capacity) today instead because of country of origin.

Use frame pucks.

Thanks for the quick and concise video on this product.

Great tips! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the video. I'd like to see the best option for blasting patio furniture. I have an old hanamint patio set that I'd like to refinish. What's the best gun set up to get off the old coat of paint, what's the best gun set up to repaint it? Thanks

Exactly what I need

Happy 🔧

Excellent with no BS. Thanks for posting this

if you do not want a yellow finish , do you just not dip into Yellow chromate solution ?

Geeze, what a pain it must be to get an engine bolted and unbolted from that monstrosity and its only rated at 2000lbs? Harbor Frieght sells a 2000lb stand and with a little ingenuity, you could fit an electric motor to it to spin it and still probably be at half the cost of a Redline product.

Should have tried copper slag or coal slag although coal slag will imbed itself into the metal.

It's hard for me to believe that you actually used gasoline in a parts washer! Seems someone like you should know better. Your credibility just took a big hit.

how much weight can these wooden blocks hold?

That discoloration is just an oxide layer forming on the surface. Look up "tempering colors of steel".

You think that is bad? I don’t even consider trying to close a door on my convertible when I jack up a corner.

If you have the steel you can hire a welder to come in his truck and put together a whole lift

Greg smith used to do that but they sold out. They were blue atlas.

Put the zinc anode in the Center of the part

Not much help..an accusation of cheap lifts but you won’t name them.

cudos to you on taking the time to bring to every ones attention about the money grab businesses , i dont see any body advertising for his own company like you do , i means a lot just to see who your spending your money with and showing what a hustler you are good work

Noice!

Maybe the way it is installed. ❤️

I can wait 2 minutes, hell that’s only one beer!

I love that the Drill Doctor wins in the carrying case area so you can carry around a tool that doesn’t work well enough to actually drill a hole in mild steel.

Need the clamp that connects cable to piston, can it be bought separately anywhere I wonder?

Those welding cylinders should be chained to the wall.

I just got a job at a shop that sells hydraulic hoses and or parts. I know 0 about anything hydraulic anything. I’m a fast learner and I’m eager to learn about whatever I need know to be successful at my new job. Anyone have any advice or tips on what I can do at home to learn more about hydraulic hoses or anything hydraulic? I’m starting from scratch. 0 knowledge

I used to live in niceville around the fort Walton and Destin area myself. That Quarts sand is amazing stuff. When you bring it back from the beach it's in your car and house for life lol. It sticks to everything. Even turns oil slicks into tar balls. And lighting loves the he'll out of it. It's a great conductor of electricity. That why things around there get wacked by lighting so much. I just wonder being it's been in salt water. If flushing it with fresh water then drying it would make it less corrosive to the metal your blasting. So you don't end up with rust under the paint job. I'm just thinking of possible salt contamination to the metal. Just possible food for thought, possibly what are your thoughts on this?

I did it similarly in shop class 40 years ago. We dipped a hot part in a fluidized bed (a can with air pumped in the base).
