While they may not "do well" some of us really do enjoy the hell out of the viper videos! Some people cant seem to understand that cars do more than straight line 1/4s and 1/8ths. Do what you love and the audience will follow!
I guess I'm of the small majority that love viper prep and race videos. Gives me tips and occasionally makes 2+2 come together in my head when listening to the tech stuff.
Kevin makes the most down to earth non 'youtuber' content on YT, I love this channel.. wholesome and human, relaxed and informative. Always 10/10 content that brightens my day
Ill watch any type of video that KSR puts up from start to finish I'm in for the long haul and love the content keep the videos coming Kevin and good luck/best wishes to you and all at the shop!!
Cheers for the share Champ. I'll just say I don't mind the Viper videos, feel free to upload whatever you like brother, it's all good. Nice to see the kids hangin' with dad at the shop, mine are all grown now, don't see them as often as I'd like, don't take their younger years for granted, cause time flies, just like SoccerMom ☮
Honestly man go do it. Its legitimately one of the more satisfying things ive ever done in my life and its a skill that you will always be able to apply.
l love to watch a good welder at work. I used to work in a food plant and I have welded many miles of stainless. For the non welders out there thanks for the explanation of purge welding. l watch all of your videos and enjoy them all.
I welded on Cryogenic tankers for 12 years. Lots of stainless pipe! Loved the challenge of the job! I just could not take 2nd shift any more. Ready for a home welder to turbo everything!
Kevin- it isn’t that we don’t like the Viper content, it just happens to be usually uploaded in the middle of the week. Love your honesty and am 100% jealous of your ability!
Adding the silicone bronze over the top also changes the harmonics / vibration that cause the cracking with a dampening effect. The stainless is hard and relatively brittle compaied to the softer vidration absorbing bronze. Using both also gives the fully welded strength of the stainless penertrating weld and the vibration obsorbing effect of the brazed bronze. Great idea.
Like others have said I'm here for your content and I learn something new from every one of your videos. Your knowledge base is something money can't buy. Awesome motivation to keep us all to keep building our own projects!
What’s going on with the stainless nuts is the act of tightening the nut rubs off the oxide layer of the metal and the pieces being up against each other no oxygen get in between and creates more oxide the pieces cold weld because the electrons can flow freely between them .
On mine the stainless crimp nuts actually gall themselves to the thin stainless where its tightening against, one never even took up the slack before it self welded to the companion metal. After that every one since gets plain washers, anti seize and double nuts to lock it down, i dont even use the nuts that come with them anymore but keep them for emergency track use where i always manage to drop at least one
The simple 5.3 single turbo stuff i think is something that a lot of viewers can easily do or want to do, so the simpler build like this i think is good to show in a lot of detail to help out the more casual weekend builder. love to see it
Imo some narrative over the viper racing videos explaining the lines, braking points, and driving strategy to set up a pass would make them way cooler. Along with identifying rivals and competition so the viewers can get a feeling for what the goal/suspense is.. Tell a story like Taylor Ray does in some of his videos, but that's just me.
Good tip on the v-band. After shearing a 1/2" thread with the nut still attached to it, I can confirm stainless on stainless with one of those isn't great. lol
How about a video for all the z32 guys out here, all 8 of us. I'd love to see all the unique Kevin mods to the body, suspension, engine, coolant, brakes, and more that improved its performance and in what ways.
I love all the “construction “ content. But the road racing support content is just as interesting as well. The in car camera (both forward and rear facing views) superimposed on the track position indication is very enjoyable. I enjoy the lap time/speed/track position juxtaposition interesting. I’m an old retired engineer, car buff and this is vicariously invigorating!
My only suggestion regarding the time lapse montage, would be that you could add some voice over that talks about the work you are doing as it happens, or even sidebar about the car etc. You are great at explaining things and watching you tinker and diagnose is fun to watch. Some insight on how your mind is working would be awesome.
The other plus to using the steel nut on the V band is you can take it on and off during mock-up easily . Thank you for the videos, always informative and entertaining.
Loved today's show, ive noticed you actually make endurance drag cars, this is just what I've noticed, you had mentioned you had did some endurance racing and also your work on the viper in multiple lap racing you carry a lot of this over into the cars like mullet. In my opinion I think its real good engineering, remember I am coming into all this at 53 years old but with a fresh mind, I have a little mechanical knowledge. I love this as I am learning and thanks to you understanding so much, to learn how to do something is good but to understand why you need to do it is fantastic. Thank you for the education and that was a beautiful dress the little one had on, my youngest is nearly 20 but still likes her sparkles when going on a night out on the town. Beautiful family buddy you all please take care and stay safe.
I just love Fbodies🤘😁 That Camaro has to be at least a '98, that's the model year the headlights changed. It's gonna be a French Tire Fryer🔥🔥 All 4th gens were made in Sainte-Therese, Quebec, Canada. Another badass race car made by Team KSR👍
For a young man, you sure are a smart man. A data master. Wish I lived closer to your job site. I have an 85 corvette with a borla exhaust system. It has a Doug Nash 4+3 Trans. Have a couple of clutch n overdrive problems. Just not the car guy I used to be. I want to be young again,but it is what it is. Always a good time watching you in action. Keep up the great work you do.
Hey Kevin, Tell me about your thoughts on ‘back-purging’; I’ve noticed that you do it, but there’s heaps of conflicting information. Also noticed that the headlight covers could do with the same Autosol treatment I recommended for the Viper windshield: trust me I did the same thing on several different cars & my son’s car failed a w.o.f., meaning it couldn’t be used on the road without either repair or replacement. Took it back for the ‘re-check’ & the guys couldn’t believe that I hadn’t replaced the headlights!!!!! The guy brought all the Tech’s out to see! Anyways, Kia Kaha, Grant from NZ.
I love 4th Gen Camaro's! I have a '93 Z28, '00 Z28, and an '02 SS. The '00 is about the get the RSM front end kit and the '02 is getting a Texas Speed 414.
Great job on the video . You always have the coolest stuff in your shop . Can't wait to see the C-10 Chevy truck ready . Just got my Red and Blue KSR shirt's . They are so Cool . 🇺🇸
You could also use a spring washer between both nuts & instead of normal standard nuts you might want to try flanged nuts that have a knurled surface on the flange & then lock both flanges at each other with the spring washer in between then it should lock up & not come apart under severe vibration.
Sorry about that, I reuploaded with the sound levels corrected.
was wondering why it was posted again
I like watching the Viper videos in general. 🤷♂️
That’s funny Kevin, I didn’t even notice the sound being different
Sound? I watch in braille
Check out northern performance UA-cam channel. He build a pretty impressive f body years ago
Your youngest was stealing the show in the background there at the end. Awesome!
While they may not "do well" some of us really do enjoy the hell out of the viper videos! Some people cant seem to understand that cars do more than straight line 1/4s and 1/8ths. Do what you love and the audience will follow!
AGREED.
1/8 and 1/4 miles just don't interest me. Grew up watching endurance racing so maybe im just a bit bias
I enjoy those videos a lot, especially the race day videos.
Let's go Brandon
@@Heyyo_Friday You can also make more mistakes & come back from them. Drag Racing, usually one mistake & you're DONE.
Respect for the "Dad" parts of your content. Family first.
I guess I'm of the small majority that love viper prep and race videos. Gives me tips and occasionally makes 2+2 come together in my head when listening to the tech stuff.
The day is always better when Kevin uploads some horsepower
Thanks for leaving the kiddos in the background, it's more relatable, and they are super cute.
Seeing your little princess waiting for daddy reminded me of my daughter “helping” me at work. Great memories.
Kevin makes the most down to earth non 'youtuber' content on YT, I love this channel.. wholesome and human, relaxed and informative. Always 10/10 content that brightens my day
You gotta love a late 4th gen Camaro. The lines on these cars are so perfect.
Ill watch any type of video that KSR puts up from start to finish I'm in for the long haul and love the content keep the videos coming Kevin and good luck/best wishes to you and all at the shop!!
I enjoy the racing videos. Your comments are of most interest. Also when Lee is with other cars overtaking or being overtaken is very interesting.
Cheers for the share Champ. I'll just say I don't mind the Viper videos, feel free to upload whatever you like brother, it's all good. Nice to see the kids hangin' with dad at the shop, mine are all grown now, don't see them as often as I'd like, don't take their younger years for granted, cause time flies, just like SoccerMom ☮
You have some of the best videos on UA-cam. Everything is always easily explained. I need you as my neighbor!! LoL
Watching you weld is awesome, makes me want to get the courage to try it myself
Honestly man go do it. Its legitimately one of the more satisfying things ive ever done in my life and its a skill that you will always be able to apply.
Coming from Australia I really enjoy the viper videos. Most people can drive in a straight line
Kevin's attention to detail is second to none. He's lucky to have a group of guys in shop that share his passion. 👍👍👍
l love to watch a good welder at work. I used to work in a food plant and I have welded many miles of stainless. For the non welders out there thanks for the explanation of purge welding. l watch all of your videos and enjoy them all.
I welded on Cryogenic tankers for 12 years. Lots of stainless pipe! Loved the challenge of the job! I just could not take 2nd shift any more. Ready for a home welder to turbo everything!
I freaking love the viper racing vids. We maybe need more on-board camera angles
Kevin- it isn’t that we don’t like the Viper content, it just happens to be usually uploaded in the middle of the week.
Love your honesty and am 100% jealous of your ability!

Cool tip for the silicon bronze weld over the stainless weld on the flange. Great stuff as usual Kevin!
Stocked that you have finally gotten to the fbody. Looking forward to watching you and your team build it

Oh I'm going back to the viper videos. I can promise that!
Congrats on 1/4 mil Kevin. You work your ass off, be proud of all you have done. Thanks for sharing it with us.
The viper prep and behind the scenes at races are my favorite videos!! Keep up the good work!
Dude I love the viper videos! Please don’t stop the viper vids.
Imo some narrative over the viper racing videos explaining the lines, braking points, and driving strategy to set up a pass would make them way cooler. Along with identifying rivals and competition so the viewers can get a feeling for what the goal/suspense is.. Tell a story like Taylor Ray does in some of his videos, but that's just me.
Love seeing builds like this! Very “Mullet-esk”
What a privilege to watch a true master of his art at work!
Memorized by those welds, was thinking just how, how's that so nice, like these builds the most, very interesting watching them come together..
Kevin- I could watch you Tig all day buddy! I’ll be at FL2K this weekend maybe I’ll see you there!
I love the c10 in the back ground.
Hey Kevin another great video that’s a bummer I really like seeing the viper and all the videos it really cool racing
Kevin you rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
4th gen ftw, i grew up loving those camaros. I also love soccer mom, that car rips.
The first time I saw "Smokey and The Bandit" when I was a kid, I was hooked on Fbodies for Life🤘 I love my 4th Gen Bird😁
@@REDBIRD-95 hell yeah, i had a 93 z28 and a 79 z28 before that, sadly had to sell them years ago.
I’m all for the viper videos, especially in car footage🔥. I personally watch and enjoy everyone of your vids and will continue to do so
Shout-out to Travis and CJ for doing good filming while you were away.
First upload had over 2,000 views, SOUND LEVELS WERE FINE FOR ME. LOVE THE VIPER VIDS. HELL ALL THE VIDS. FOR THAT MATTER.
Well dang. It blasted me out on the first time lapse, lol
If the sound was fine then WHY ARE YOU YELLING?
Good tip on the v-band. After shearing a 1/2" thread with the nut still attached to it, I can confirm stainless on stainless with one of those isn't great. lol
Saving this video for future reference. Just trying to soak up as much info as possible for a future build! Great video, keep the viper videos coming!
How about a video for all the z32 guys out here, all 8 of us. I'd love to see all the unique Kevin mods to the body, suspension, engine, coolant, brakes, and more that improved its performance and in what ways.
Princess in the background. Thanks for your Dad's time sweetheart!!
Stay tight, avoid separation, double nut. Sage advice for many situations. Great channel.
I love all the “construction “ content. But the road racing support content is just as interesting as well. The in car camera (both forward and rear facing views) superimposed on the track position indication is very enjoyable. I enjoy the lap time/speed/track position juxtaposition interesting.

So much detail in your builds I’ll keep a eye out if the owner sells this 4th gen
Always great to see ksr and even nicer to see work being done to the f-body
Fuel the Al Gor ithm and support the RPM Act. Evening beers with KSR
I love watching ksr build videos. Oh and Kevin you need to convince Taylor Ray to keep the turbo ls in his zo6 drift car
I love the simplicity of the hot side!
Don’t know why the viper vids don’t do so well, very interesting content for me, certainly more interesting than a cloud of tyre smoke!
Great video Kevin. On a job like this one, the planning/Layout is about 90% of it.
This build is nothing but a soft flex! And by god do I love it!!! YeeYeeee Let’s go KSR
My only suggestion regarding the time lapse montage, would be that you could add some voice over that talks about the work you are doing as it happens, or even sidebar about the car etc. You are great at explaining things and watching you tinker and diagnose is fun to watch.

Great work KSR crew I learn every time I watch your video's Kevin Thanks for teaching us.......
I love the viper videos man.
That’s a very large turbo…. I like it lol. Love the videos keep um coming!

Loving the 4th gen F body stuff. Keep them coming.
Enjoyed watching taken at it’s best again!!! Thanks Kevin 👌
Spell check 🤬talent at it’s best again is what I meant to say 👌
I love all the videos. Viper videos get put up on the big screen and surround sound though.
I just love Fbodies🤘😁 That Camaro has to be at least a '98, that's the model year the headlights changed. It's gonna be a French Tire Fryer🔥🔥 All 4th gens were made in Sainte-Therese, Quebec, Canada. Another badass race car made by Team KSR👍
Good stuff man, I definitely appreciate your attention to detail..
Double-shot Tuesday... I was OK with the first one this morning but giving you the watch time on this one as well😎
More of this please Kevin... love it
For a young man, you sure are a smart man. A data master. Wish I lived closer to your job site. I have an 85 corvette with a borla exhaust system. It has a Doug Nash 4+3 Trans. Have a couple of clutch n overdrive problems. Just not the car guy I used to be. I want to be young again,but it is what it is. Always a good time watching you in action. Keep up the great work you do.
It was always fun having to safety wire the lower clamp on the c-130j bleed air valve, basically blind and one handed.
As long as you upload stuff Kevin, I'll be watching 😄 haha
I definitely recommend the Trans Am Viper videos. Well worth the view.
Nice work KSR crew.......Keep on teaching us Kevin
I love that generation of Camaro!
Thanks for the tip about the clamps. I've got some on my Vortech supercharged mustang that I'll be changing 👍
My favorite builder on youtube!
Watching the welding time lapse...I bet an instructional laying dimes welding series might do quite well
Love the new rock like timelapse music ! keep up the good work

Nice Kevin, bringing in more projects to the channel 🤘.
Dig the Viper clips. Great insights into a top class performing car.
Love the princess in the background! Keepin it real.
Love me viper action and the good vibes. I’ve Gotta go back and check out the viper content it sounds like
In for more of Lees vipers, he’s had some cool stuff since the 90s.
Super relevant & relatable build - im stoked !
I always enjoy watching you work...I'd like to see how the slip joint works
yep, your daughter with her cute princess dress definitely stole the show while you were talking. Make sure to tell her popular she is now!
Well, hello and ty for great in-depth commentary, video and beautiful modifications!!!
I love 4th Gen Camaro's! I have a '93 Z28, '00 Z28, and an '02 SS. The '00 is about the get the RSM front end kit and the '02 is getting a Texas Speed 414.
Great job on the video . You always have the coolest stuff in your shop . Can't wait to see the C-10 Chevy truck ready . Just got my Red and Blue KSR shirt's . They are so Cool . 🇺🇸
The Viper videos are my favorites
I can't help but thinking of Cooper Bogetti and his cobbled together (but very quick) 4th Gen. He needs the KSR touch!
Im here for the content man, not just to ride the D of Cleetus or anyone he’s associated with. Keep up the awesome content.
ride the D of Cleetus? Lol. Well this just got weird....
14:45 as a single dad....love the dress in the background 👍🏻👌🏻
Good on you bro, single dad here too. Girls are hard, lol.
You could also use a spring washer between both nuts & instead of normal standard nuts you might want to try flanged nuts that have a knurled surface on the flange & then lock both flanges at each other with the spring washer in between then it should lock up & not come apart under severe vibration.
I liked the viper race vid! But ur right not so much the prep. Love the drag car stuff
Just made my day, I’ve been waiting for some 4th Gen f-body content. My formula is getting a 6.0 with an S480. I’ll be taking notes lol
Same lol. 6.0 s480.
Giving a double thumbs up for the beautiful little princess who made an appearance in this video!
Kevin we all want to see you work on your own car you do so much for everyone else I think your time is ready and plus you get more views 👍
