Hi Steve. I’m a windshield installer. The reason your cowl trim and top windshield trim don’t fit is because the windshield was set in too deep. Meaning they skimped on the thickness of the urethane sealant. The higher the glass sits away from the body, the tighter the trim will fit and a smooth transition as the wipers go to the park position. Hope that helps
No, they'll just say could have done or figured it out faster. Those sorts of folks will always find something to complain about. Because that's the totality of their lives. Without that they'd have to come face to face with themselves. Which wouldn't be pretty, probably.
Love seeing the wife working on her car. I always have my wife helps me work on her c3 corvette. She never enjoys being on the creeper under her car. But she does it, cause she loves her car. 26 years this year, married to a gear head woman!!! Her 1st car when she was 17 yrs old. Was 1st gen Camaro. Before I knew her. Great job guys!!! Getting sugar momma ready!!!
When is standing beside Steve with his eyes closed for a moment, the look on his face is PRICELESS, WHY? Because he just stole the last clean shop rag.🤣
I learned that a 1/8th allen wrench between the starter shaft and the flywheel gives you a perfect starter gear clearance on a Chevy when I was 16 yaers old. My dad taught me that. Great video Mr. and Mrs. Morris
@@rickdyer1968 @ironmike & @scott are talking about a stock delco starter and your talkin about the aftermarket mini-starter- ie Tilton, Hamburger’s, Csr etc!
Hi, Steve!. I am glad to see the infamous, "Sugar Mama", the heartbeat of your business and the coolest wife ever! I will eventually get to meet all of you. I cant wait, I learn so much from all of you. Thanks lots!
I have to say Steve! You were right! That a nice car… the other thing that was super cool! You didn’t hide all the bull crap with all the new parts. Thank you for the Real World experience and how it really works trying to get your car fixed. Good video!
You're telling me that they don't start first time like on TV 🤯. Love the whole process, hope the wife has a ball on sick week and the wagon performs strong.
I feel much better about several perplexing issues I have run into over the years that stumped me until the lightbulb in the noggin came on and I figured it out. I see it happens to some of the best too.
Great looking car combo Steve and team.. Thanks for the longer video and showing us quickly what you go through to get a brand new car built and running. It's not all fairies and unicorns like people generally see when you jump in, hit the starter and fly down the track. All the best of luck, can't wait to see Mrs Morris having a blast and enjoying the car....
Super great build, I watched this at 5 am and my nerves were shot by 6 am with all the problems you guys had, and we all have been there in a build, but you guys got all that done and made it all come together in the end GREAT JOB, THANKS!!
Just booked my hotels and planing to come see you run in Orlando I can't wait to get out of this Iowa snow and cold! I got to see you on sick summer 23 but your car was hurt so I'm excited to see you run again.
Steve did you crank up the frequency on TIG? Great to see Mrs working on her car. Wish we were going to Sick Week this year so I could cheer her on. Need more ladies racing these events.
Your a lucky man Steve, that is so cool the your wife is working on her car with you. That she supports you in your passion, and business. What a winner :) Where's the valentines fund for her :)
Cheers guys. Steve, guys like you pushing boundaries and technology makes all vehicles outside EV’s be able to benefit in performance! Best wishes on the road n track
Bad luck with the windshield. 🙄. Good news is it made finishing the dash a whole lot easier. 👍. BTW, the interior looks 1000% better with all the red dyed black!
SM if you want clamps to hold your piping together when welding use your stainless intercooler clamps and just elongate slots around it so you can tack weld your pipes then finish off on the bench.. also helps with setups of piping instead of using tape 😉
Wife unit looks like she knows her stuff. Nice to see that. That turbo bracket should have been made longer. Way to much work on valve cover to make it work. Never seen a hydraulic lifter cam run good on a BBC because of the angle on the pushrods to lifter which cause the lifter to pump up. Which makes the engine miss at times around 4,500 rpm. Happen to me everytime I went into 2 gear on a 400 trans. It seems if you make more than 40 pounds of oil pressure it happens. Stay below 40 pounds it does not do it. I had a 60 to 70 pound Moroso stock volume pump. Tried everything to get that miss out. Finally put a solid lifter cam in it and it ran great. If I new this I would have just put solid lifters on the hydraulic cam which a few friends did after I had the fix. They had the same problem so they cheated and just put solid lifter in it cause it was way easyer then switching cams over. Hope you don't have this problem. If you do that is the problem. Any BBC performance engine came from the factory in a car with solid lifer cam and a 60 to 70 pound pump. Low performance cars came with a hydraulic lifter cam and a oil pump with 40 pound pump. They were good to 5,000 rpm a 7,000 rpm or 6,500 which would go way past that use the solid lifer cam and 60 to 70 pound pump. I would just double nut the rocker arm and once the cam broke in never had to adjust the lifter again.
Hell, the boss is hands on! This must be a real important project. Now wouldnt you think torque storm would make an opposite hand compressor outlet? Surely you are not the first person to have these issues? The outlet should be on the outboard side away from the rocker cover. I do love seeing all the little issues on a new build though.
Looking forward to watching the better driver!! When we were racing back in the 70's we never thought of making a woman the primary driver. Not chauvinistic just dumb. Tri-City Dragway in Saginaw had a world class facility at the time. We had a partnership and shared driving responsibilities. A friends wife Donna Clark drove our car in powder puff every and won every week. We set over 12 National records in the 7 years we raced but never won a National event. Wonder what it would have been like if we were smart enough to put her in the car!
Beautiful car. Also, if lilmomma needs the chute switch where she is use to it I would also come up with something to make her good! Not talking shit, just supporting!!
It was nice to see Mrs. Morris working on the car. Kyle tell your Dad if it was an SMX in there, the cam sync would have been in the Big Block Mopar location, front right. Not in the way of a roots blower drive like those Fords. 😊
Steve, had the same problem! It’s nice that you can screw them in, mine are press out , 7:12 press in all 20 of them oh had to change to bolt in tire valves….. I love hot riding Mike.
Super awesime knowing your building this badass car for you wife to drive instead of putting her in a mild 10 second corvette to race. One special lady you got there Steve. You must have told her "if you want to race thn your going to race FAST AND COMPETITIVELY!
Steve awesome seeing the better half helping mine helps me she actually just went and bought her own creeper this past Saturday. she really likes helping when it's not to cold in the garage.
Something to note, shutting off the fuel pump won't always completely stop fuel flow. With the throttle closed , there is vacuum on the injectors and fuel can be pulled through depending on the type of fuel pump ( Vane , roller , turbine ) .
For a fresh untested build the Car did great. You 3 did great Sick Week. I think Val rocked it. She did great for being away for 25 years. Go Sugar Momma
Sounds awesome Congratulations 👏 but I would address the rear tire looks really close to the frame I had same problem I did blow a tire maybe make a 1/8 spacer...keep living the dream
Such an awesome build. Just everything about it is perfect.. Barring the stickers and bluing on the tires. Question though.. how much will those Mickeys swell on burn outs? No worries of rubbing the inner walls thru? Love how Mrs Morris shut Steve down with the "I was faster than you for the longest time" I think she will be one to watch out for. Would love to see my two favorite channels head to head at Sick Week with you and the boys from Street Racing Channel. Wonder if you will end up in the same class any where in the competition. At least be cool to at the very least see a shits n giggles run between this and Billys new 55 or the Falcon with the new motor.
You build the most beautiful violent engines Steve... Awesome knowledge you just give me and everyone else... You forgot more than I know at this point... But I'm gaining!!👍🏼
If you end up painting the bumpers, have them blend the fenders into the doors. Maybe it looks worse on camera then in person idk? If you spray the door on the car (vertical) and spray the fender on a stand (horizontal) or vice versa, they will not match. The metallics “flow” with gravity.
we built a 80 model it was galaxy silver metallic for my sons high school graduation the're very sweet cars . good driving and riding.only thing i would change is turn those white letters in..great job!!!

Thanks for not editing out the issues. It's humbling to see that everyone has gremlins.
LET'S GO TEAM MO!
thanks to mrs. morris for keeping this man afloat through all these years.
Yep !
I think its super cool that Mrs. Morris is getting to race again. Just goes to show once a drag racer always a drag racer!
Wow that is freaking cool husband, wife and son all working on a car together.
Even Dewey was making an appearance.
Truly bespoke and a good lesson for the armchair experts as to why things can take so long to sort out.
No, they'll just say could have done or figured it out faster. Those sorts of folks will always find something to complain about. Because that's the totality of their lives. Without that they'd have to come face to face with themselves. Which wouldn't be pretty, probably.

She never enjoys being on the creeper under her car.
But she does it, cause she loves her car.
26 years this year, married to a gear head woman!!! Her 1st car when she was 17 yrs old. Was 1st gen Camaro.
Before I knew her.
Great job guys!!!
Getting sugar momma ready!!!
if ya didnt already know his wife was a drag racer. Talk about finding the jackpot of a wife! :)
@@MotorSportAndTools she was a customer, of his.
Gen 3 Camaro.
That’s common knowledge.
If you follow SME, for years.
@@metalted6128Steve Morris engines are expensive . Ultimate discount .
@jkfonyi
Yeah they may be expensive, but they are worth every penny.
The after sales support you get is second to none.
I appreciate the documentation of the real struggles with these builds. Thanks for not doing youtube magic.
Watching steve and his family is a blessing. They work seamlessly alongside each other ..
Thanks
@@stevemorrisracing hi
Indeed 👍
It is nice to see professionals have the same problems regular people have.
Got my hoodie and my signed valve today. Talk about fast shipping! Thanks again Steve for signing my hoodie too. Much appreciated
No problem 👍

I learned that a 1/8th allen wrench between the starter shaft and the flywheel gives you a perfect starter gear clearance on a Chevy when I was 16 yaers old. My dad taught me that. Great video Mr. and Mrs. Morris

Feeler gauges are a thing yall lol
@@MrsSunshine75 thanks for reply
Val is so going to kick your butt on the tree!!!😂
He's more worried about Alex Taylor.
She’s looking awesome. I loved seeing the wifey out in the shop wrenching with you. I can’t wait to see your wife making some passes at the track ❤
Hi, Steve!. I am glad to see the infamous, "Sugar Mama", the heartbeat of your business and the coolest wife ever! I will eventually get to meet all of you. I cant wait, I learn so much from all of you. Thanks lots!
What a great Malibu , built with teamwork and a family. Beautiful build. I'd love to hear more of your wife's racing history. Many thanks.
I have to say Steve! You were right! That a nice car… the other thing that was super cool! You didn’t hide all the bull crap with all the new parts. Thank you for the Real World experience and how it really works trying to get your car fixed. Good video!
you guys are obviously one heck of a team, here is to many more years!!! great episode. 👍
The Malibu looks great Steve. Reminds me of my old blue 78' Malibu.
You're telling me that they don't start first time like on TV 🤯. Love the whole process, hope the wife has a ball on sick week and the wagon performs strong.
Steve watching from N. Florida, im in the triangle of Bradenton, Bithlo and Gainesville buddy, Ill see you somewhere Sick week!
I feel much better about several perplexing issues I have run into over the years that stumped me until the lightbulb in the noggin came on and I figured it out.
I see it happens to some of the best too.
Absolutely beautiful car and fabulous build, Steve! I can’t wait to watch her run that thing and smoke the competition!
Great seeing all family in the racing
I love to see the whole family working together great looking Malibu can’t wait to see Steve, Wife drive and put up the win light.
Great looking car combo Steve and team..
Thanks for the longer video and showing us quickly what you go through to get a brand new car built and running. It's not all fairies and unicorns like people generally see when you jump in, hit the starter and fly down the track.
All the best of luck, can't wait to see Mrs Morris having a blast and enjoying the car....
It's definitely not the first time she has had a tool in her hands. This is great
Super great build, I watched this at 5 am and my nerves were shot by 6 am with all the problems you guys had, and we all have been there in a build, but you guys got all that done and made it all come together in the end GREAT JOB, THANKS!!
It's crazy how much I love this channel and how close I feel to one of my heros when I watch
Thanks bud!
Steve, the car turned out fantastic. Can't wait to see it at the track.
I've paid my 20 bucks on the cleetervision to watch the most stacked sickweek ever! I wish you all the best of luck this year!
I'm excited for this car!
Fun to see the wife/pilot can put in some work! Congratulations to her on a badass new ride, I'm jealous!
Envious*
They're both the same thing, theoretically! I just want to do a malibu build, nerd!😀
You know you’re busy when you can’t use either one of your engine dyno’s. Lol. Great video. Enjoyed watching you guys troubleshoot.
Car looks awsome!!
That car is looking beautiful, and I can't wait to see her enjoying it. I'm looking forward to seeing it going down the road and strip. Go SM fam.
Just booked my hotels and planing to come see you run in Orlando I can't wait to get out of this Iowa snow and cold! I got to see you on sick summer 23 but your car was hurt so I'm excited to see you run again.
Seeing momma Morris grinning in the first car I ever drove, a 1980 Malibu Classic, just feels good. Can hardly wait to see her Make a pass
This just goes to illustrate how difficult things can be.
Enjoyed the video. I am too old to still be hot rodding so I enjoyed watching the crew figure out the nuances.
Steve did you crank up the frequency on TIG? Great to see Mrs working on her car. Wish we were going to Sick Week this year so I could cheer her on. Need more ladies racing these events.
Good tig question.
Frequency around 180 to 200 would be the best for aluminum
Your a lucky man Steve, that is so cool the your wife is working on her car with you. That she supports you in your passion, and business. What a winner :) Where's the valentines fund for her :)
Cheers guys. Steve, guys like you pushing boundaries and technology makes all vehicles outside EV’s be able to benefit in performance! Best wishes on the road n track
Another Awesome Lesson form the Professor Morris 😊 Love all you do Keep up the Amazing Work you Guy's are Rock Stars !!!!!
Bad luck with the windshield. 🙄. Good news is it made finishing the dash a whole lot easier. 👍. BTW, the interior looks 1000% better with all the red dyed black!
👍
I see a red seat and I want it painted black!
What a sweet car ! Mrs M is going to love this 😀 ! Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
That's probably the fastest grocery getter in the world. Awesome work
This is a great video as to why you dyno everything before it ships! Nice job
That malibu making me drool 😅. Sounds so perfect and crisp
You guys have a great team around you all love to see it. 🙏🇦🇺
Thanks
Thanks for showing us what really happens!!!
My pleasure!!
Beautiful car, great job.That should be a fun event for the wife and son!
Awesome video! I got my Hoodie yesterday and thank you for adding a Tee Shirt as well! Thank you so much!
SM if you want clamps to hold your piping together when welding use your stainless intercooler clamps and just elongate slots around it so you can tack weld your pipes then finish off on the bench.. also helps with setups of piping instead of using tape 😉
I’m with Kyle…It’s all about Design.
Somethings that need Adjustment often uniquely
are usually found at the Front, or forward facing.
🤣😇🤣
one of the best vids you have put up showing not all goes to plan thanks steve and good luck for the missus .

Looks great! Good luck with Sic week ! Thanks for your videos!

When it's dead silence and people are only whispering, you know it's not an easy task xD
Your wifes a gear head too ! It all makes sense now lol thats awesome

She did the star pattern! You got a keeper!
Steve some days you’re the windshield and some days the drill bit.
Mama Morris!! The real success behind it all.
While Steve is fishing out the lifters, all I could think was how funny it would be if a red light came on with a horrible buzzing sound!
Beautiful car. Also, if lilmomma needs the chute switch where she is use to it I would also come up with something to make her good! Not talking shit, just supporting!!
Can't wait to see her run. Looks Great!

Great looking setup! Can't wait to see her perform at Sick Week
You and me both!
Car turned out sick. Exactly what id expect from you.
Sounded tight when turning over !
Best hour and two minutes of learning stuff, thanks Steve, can't wait to see Momma Morris take Sugar Momma down the track. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
For a fresh untested build the Car did great. You 3 did great Sick Week. I think Val rocked it. She did great for being away for 25 years. Go Sugar Momma
I love seeing semi serious Steve...! Actual real attitude is worth the watch
Looks great. I'm sure she's going to have fun.
That would look awesome with tinted windows. All blacked out. Sweet car!!
I really like the color or actually the entire setup is nice.
AHHH --- the exhaust note of a non-turbo big block Chevy.
I love this build! that car put up quite the fight, hopefully it's done fighting and they have a good week racing with it!
Props to you for showing that even the Pro's have new car blues.
That was an awesome video I didn’t want that to end.
Great work Steve you have one lucky wife 👌
Beautiful. Awesome, 200 precent put forward. Looks fun. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
WOW!!! nice job Steve. very beautiful car...any ideas for a sugar momma decal ? say top left just behind the door just in front of the rear tires...
Sounds awesome Congratulations 👏 but I would address the rear tire looks really close to the frame I had same problem I did blow a tire maybe make a 1/8 spacer...keep living the dream
Glad to see this build !
Iearn a little more on every video .
That malibu is one of my bucket list cars ..
This worked out like a Gas Monkey Garage first start video except with them it was every engine.

About time manufacturers started making left and right handed compressor covers

This is so awesome. Mom is wrenching!!!!!!!
If you end up painting the bumpers, have them blend the fenders into the doors. Maybe it looks worse on camera then in person idk?
If you spray the door on the car (vertical) and spray the fender on a stand (horizontal) or vice versa, they will not match. The metallics “flow” with gravity.
TorqStorm needs to come out with a "mirror image" kit. Think how easy that would have been!
we built a 80 model it was galaxy silver metallic for my sons high school graduation the're very sweet cars . good driving and riding.only thing i would change is turn those white letters in..great job!!!
I love those Torquestorms all blacked out , doing a proper build Team Morris and friends ,going to fun weekend!
