Lovelovelove, mine both outgrew the bug. Hoping they come around again. My Ex- Their Mother is Poison. This made me week. Prayer and hope is what I have!
I hope she sticks to it
There's a huge HUGE amount of sex appeal in the 71 LeMans.
Thank you, it has been a project!
That is wonderful to see 😁🛠️ nice work guys
Thank you she is hooked
Way cool man!
Thanks
This is so awesome parenting i wish my dad taught me to weld at a young age just keep her close man awesome work
Thank you, she likes it!
Awe she's an artist 🎨 😁🙏🏽💪🏾
Keep it💯
Probably will
it's just by seconds not minutes don't be such cry babies not all of us have grey poupom
How did you get the speedo to work and reverse lights i am doong this swap on my 1987 chevrolet monte carlo SS
I just use a GPS speedometer, reverse lights are hooked to the factory switch
@Wrenchingwithray ok thanks man 🤙
I think a short bed AWD is a keeper in the fleet. I just picked up a 6.2L AWD vehicle, maybe a hopped up beater? Also have a 3/4 ton for the towing. And as you know the 71 GT-37. I will be watching for the upgrades to the Punisher!
I probably will keep the AWD truck, it's a fun truck for sure! The punisher car should be fun!
@Wrenchingwithray The next stage for the Punisher will be great!
I've got a similar swap planed for a 95 short box with a 4.3 What were the biggest struggles you had?
It's honestly an easy swap, only thing I had to buy for Trusty Rusty was motor mounts, cold air intake and build exhaust. Other than that and the harness everything else was reused from the doner or the Obs.
@@Wrenchingwithray Thank you. Did you get by using the factory LS exhaust manifolds and truck oil pan?
@@Raycr yes they fit like it was made for it
Excited to see it happen man!
Thanks man I appreciate it
Did you sell the other astre?
Yes sir, I took what I needed and sold it
In December of 1985, I bought a 1976 Pontiac Astre Stationwagon. I knew it had a bad engine in it and I thru a rod driving it home. I replaced the engine and drove the car for a year, when the auto transmission failed in it. While looking for another trans, I came across a 1979 Chevy Monza V6/auto stationwagon that was wrecked. The right front had hit a telephone pole. The Monza only had 33K miles on it. I towed the Monza home and removed every part I could from it and then put everything in my Astre. I drove it around for about 5 years. Great little car.
Was hoping this one would run but I think the rings are stuck so it's going to get a newer 4-cylinder 5 speed
Have a 2014, it seems to do better than this one haha (just slightly)
Can't get much worse lol
@@Wrenchingwithray I've driven worse, many entry level trucks, especially somewhat older ones, have a worse power to weight. I drove a few FedEx trucks that were MUCH slower lol
How'd you mesure for driveshaft did you get a single cab short bed driveshaft?
@@thomasblais7751 you can use a regular cab short bed drive shaft
How did you end up mounting the passenger side shock?
I actually went off shock angle from the factory and went from there, I am however moving the right shock so both are behind the axle
I would take it i have a truck and i want an mustang
It's pretty rough
Wow
🔥🔥
@ is it for sale
@@Hfamjam I doubt it
@ it’s the truck my dad had when I was born how can we find out I think …I saw a clue I don’t the gram though
@ Dang just checked it was an 81 same colour scheme, but with a vinyl back top
How far did u move it forward?
Like 18" I think
What size was the box you put on your truck?
It's a 6' short bed
What size was the box you put on your truck?
6' short bed
If you could redo something would you do it the same way?
Change the rear shock to both rear
😍🇺🇲🏁
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎
Can you show video or pictures of how you did your shocks
Stay tuned I will be doing a c-notch soon and it will show it
Never thought any new car would make my stock 2022 I4 camry seem like a hellcat, but here we are.
Lol yup
I’d like to see the 12v Cummins that’s powering that bad boy
I honestly don't know what was in it
@ Right, would be interesting to see what type of 12v Cummins is in it, VE or p pump? My moneys on p pump
OMG I'm in love 😘
It's absolutely beautiful
Do you still have the other Astre?
Ya it just keeps getting pushed back lol
I just picked up a 305 tpi for my s10 😎
They are really fun with a V8, I have had several
Hey, just wondering going to be starting my 98 shortening in about a month I was wondering, how far did you have to move the differential forward?
I used the hole under the front bed mount to locate the front spring hanger, I believe it's like 18"
Hey, thanks for answering me back. Was that a 6 foot five box or was it the smaller one?
@deancameron1456 6 ft is the short bed, 8 ft is the long bed
Was thos in a truck? I want to know if it would take more abuse in a lighter car
Yes and yes, they work well actually but launching it at 3k on slicks behind a turbo LS is a bad idea lol
@Wrenchingwithray good info, thank you plan is 2jz gs300 i just found out about this transmission i was going to do cd009 but this option looks alot cheaper
@teddybesplitinlanes5500 the CD009 is a stronger transmission and a 6 speed, however it's more pricey and a lot bigger plug the gearing is weird
Classic Rat Rods here I restore Classic Cars To full Glory I got a 57 Chevy black and white and interior is sexy red for the lady's you should buy it and do a full restoration on it I would like to see it restored have a great year in 2024-2025 make the best memories out there peace ✌️ 2024-2025 ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

NOT VERY GOOD CARSHOW way people put new cars in cars show. It's stupid It's supposed to be for all cars and old tracks.
