Big hand for keeping the time for your family- too many content creators have fallen to the "Toober's Disease" and it has cost them families and more; Don't be that guy!

    8:49 Tape up the lid lip/ridge so paint doesn't glue the lid shut. Then tape a big V across the open area of the paint can so it pours out through a narrow area.

    "Up in the air" is when your build is in between streetcar or racecar.
    I built my car for 70% track use and 30% street duties, but in reality it spends 97% of it's time on axle stands.

  • @shanedale6090
    @shanedale6090 Місяць тому +1

    Woody, if you do end up putting the handbrake between the seat and door, find a HQ-HZ/WB lever as once pulled up it will drop back down so you wont smack/dig your leg into it while getting in/out of the car

    @ae86rally Місяць тому

    I had a single piece tailshaft in one of my Commodores and the factory handbrake cables used to hit it at the adjuster as they were designed to clear the 2 piece which sat higher than the one piece did where the rear section of cable connected.
    I also bolt the motor, gearbox, steering rack and crossmember (K-Frame) together and drop the car onto them. it allowed me to fit the power steering and extractors (pacemakers for 355 stroker are bigger) as they are an absolute pain to fit once the motor is in.

    You might have to test out that throttle body orientation theory on Kai's dyno when you're ready for tuning. Likely negligible difference but would be interesting.
