    14:40 that is a "House Centipede" aggressive hunters good to have around. Eat all the bad bugs!

    That bug you kill is actually beneficial and completely harmless to people. They kill other bugs and spiders and pretty much everything you don't want around. They are everywhere but usually go unseen. Don't kill them, just let them run and hide!

    You may never see this, I know you did alot to get the exhaust out back next tires but it works really well when the exhaust drops off just past the Trans mount... it pushs the smoke out from under the car..
    So maybe just cut it off after the Trans mount...
    A great way to mock up is On bare rims out back so you know your gunna be able to drive off pad on Rims!! Best of luck buddy, been watching the channel grow and I'm stoked to see your skills progress to where you are now 🎉
    Looking forward to seeing this cobbled together masterpiece in action 🎬 👏 🙌
    Another old-school hack is run a small radiator off the heater lines that's submerged in a tank off ice water for extra cooling 😎

      Excellent exhaust idea, I’ll do some more research and try and see which works best!

    Leave the exhaust like it is, so what if it drags a little. A high stall converter generates a lot of heat, a big cooler is a must. Good luck, love the build!

    Hello Preston! One day you should make a compound turbo setup. You made so funny things, and you are nerdy enough in a positive way. So I guess this would be an adventure.
