On the tunnel can you add a bead of silicone on the flat and let it dry. It would kinda be like felpro print-o-seal gaskets. It would help keep fluids out but also help with squeaks if the panels vibrate.
I am enjoying all of the builds can you keep it up. I look forward to seeing this one as well as any others cars you have come into the shop I have been telling all my mates to check you out Keep up the great work from me in Australia
CJRC will be done first I'm sure, they are really getting it done quick. KSR will build an awesome car as well and Steve will build a killer engine for it.
Making good progress on Vals car. It's gonna be a really nice ride when you wrap it up. The details you point out things everyone wishes they thought about earlier in a build, that shows you have definitely learned from that same situation.
Invest in a hydraulic flaring tool ( Mastercool ) . One handed flaring, push connect , for fuel injection filters or trans quick connects. Easy 3/8 stainless fuel line ends, etc.
Sweet! Always amazed by the amount and quality of work at KSR. Can’t wait to see it going down the track. Hopefully the first runs will be at BMP so I can be there in person to watch
Thanks Kevin it’s been great watching this build someday can you School us on the difference of chassis certifications 25.2, 25.3, 25.4, 25.5 and what’s the same and what’s different between Steve’s build and Cletus’ eagle… racing takes on a whole new feeling when you get to watch the build.
Nice to see that the U Joints got upgraded to 1400s. Hope that 9.5 ring holds up. That Engine has already destroyed a 9.5 ring gear before while in the Wagon
Awsome day. I beat the rain from this storm getting home (southern VA) got home and discovered another KSR video to stay inside out of the weather with.
Val's car is looking really GOOD! You, Eddie and the rest of your team have impeccable skills, and the attention to detail is second to none! If I had money and wanted a race car built, you guys would be my choice!
I don't really care who gets a car done first but it making for great build content across the Board from KSR and CJRC and the different ways things get done based on the experience of the builders !!
For really quick and easy labeling, I've used P-Touch labelers for quite a while. Tape width varies from 1/4" to 1", with clear, red, yellow, blue, or black background and white, black, and gold print in various combinations. Many fonts and graphics can also be used, depending on the printer. They're great for labeling panels and chassis like those injector control boxes. I've used five-minute epoxy to fix them in place, as heat and fluids can cause their adhesive to lift. Val's car is looking so good!
thats a badass build Kevin. the wife and I keep giggling about the KSR you cut at the freedom factory shop , that was so funny !!! thanks for another great video.
Why ? You want cleetus to gap the shit outta Val’s car ? Both cars might have 5k capable engines but only eagles chassis is built to put 5k to the ground .also probably 800 lb weight difference will add another couple tenths to the gap .
@@jkfonyi I’m just curious to watch both chassis / engine combos lines up. I’m a novice when it comes to drag racing. I guess I just want to see a Steve morris engine vs pro line engine 👍🏽👍🏽
Put a standard 7 way rv plug in the back of the car so the trailer can be towed by a normal vehicle if needed. Also you can use the pins in the 7 way if you need to run other things since it has constant fused 12 volt like say back feed through it to charge the battery Try superglue on the edge to touch it up next time as that will also seal the edge of the carbon from chipping.
From an industrial controls standpoint, I'd use only one IAC as using two might cause a surge due to large changes in airflow of 2 Vs 1. If there isn't enough air flow at idle and propping the blade open causes TPS range issues, drilling a hole in the blade is common on stock stuff.
How bout using that industrial spray foam insulation they use on boats and airplanes (not the home depot stuff). That stuff is like 199mph duct tape. Looking really GOOD. Let’s get back to work!
I don't know how it would work, but ONE day I will be cool enough to complete a project such as this. With the stainless brake lines up around me in Canada and doing industrial construction we use a company called Swaglok for all of our instumentation and basically once those fittings are seated or 'sweged" the failure point is the tubing at that point. I have no idea the cross over to state side maybe Parker fittings? Either way Swaglok makes some pretty neat stuff that you may be able to use for brakes/airlines etc.
Very nice work but I think that rear differentials going to get made into a pretzel also wondering if you was going to enclosed all the chassis on the bottom side
All you need is a hair dryer or heat gun and Red Loctite will allow the removal of any fastener. If you've done this procedure you will smell something akin to over ripe or rotting apples. Loctite is a must in any mechanics tool box.
Great upload Kevin, quick question,will Val's Camaro have the same race class rule issues being a billet BB SMX as Cleet couldn't run in certain classes with the SMX l. Or does it come down to the weight? Cheers 😊
wouldnt it be smarter to put the head of the bolt in the wheel well area on the titanium strip instead of the nut with the end of the bolt sticking out. Could cut a tire if something moves around enough or if its on a slick instead of a radial and the tire grows
ditto on front u-joint self deleting. my buddies car did that coming out of burnout. a circlip suddenly decided to leave the game and spit the cap right through the tunnel, just past his arm, helmet and face, where it left a bubble in the steel car roof (about the only steel left on the car). it violently exploded the transmission tail-shaft. yeah it gained nearly 15lbs of weight after that, big U shield plate, as the driveshaft loop wasn't enough protection. the driveshaft came with the car and was left as is(joints looked and felt fine/many hundreds of passes on N/A mouse engine), later on it twisted off an moser axle (that also came with the car), left rear wheel exited on launch, which luckily happened there. yikes x 10. that left us wondering about the rest of the cars integrity and fine tooth comb/eyeing every single pass.
I liked Eddie's smile when asked about mowing his yard, nothing better than a new house and the first few mows!
except maybe the new house and the first few blows :P
Winning track driver, race car builder, and dog sitter. Is there anything Kevin & Team KSR can't do? Great content.
I am looking forward to see the Camaro start testing with Steve's used and abused SMX still going strong
That thing is gunna be cherry when its done. Cant wait!!!!!! KSR team killin it!!!!
The joys of a tight shop with all the projects to have to move things around.
On the tunnel can you add a bead of silicone on the flat and let it dry. It would kinda be like felpro print-o-seal gaskets. It would help keep fluids out but also help with squeaks if the panels vibrate.
We have been considering a thin strip of adhesive foam.
@@KSRPerformanceFabrication Yep, just a thin weather strip only needs to be a few mm.
Yay! Another race car building class. You should charge tuition Kevin! ✌❤
I am enjoying all of the builds can you keep it up. I look forward to seeing this one as well as any others cars you have come into the shop I have been telling all my mates to check you out Keep up the great work from me in Australia
Who will be done first with the 5k HP small tire cars. KSR with Vals car or CJRC with Cheeter Cleeters Eagle? Thank you for the great update Kevin Sir
Both awesome builds, but essentially very different. Just happy we get to follow both.
I don’t know who’s will be first but the eagle will be a much much better car.
@@sjv6598 better car no, better drag race car yes
How about Victor Alvarez he is going Pro mod racing also?
CJRC will be done first I'm sure, they are really getting it done quick. KSR will build an awesome car as well and Steve will build a killer engine for it.
40:01... Apple get you again!
Shout out for the metric system! Even if you’re only using it for alignments at least you’re inching in the right direction.
Making good progress on Vals car. It's gonna be a really nice ride when you wrap it up. The details you point out things everyone wishes they thought about earlier in a build, that shows you have definitely learned from that same situation.
What a great build, fine job Kevin crew !
Lot's of little details to keep track of and stay ahead of!! Again always appreciate the in depth explanations of your fabrication!
Invest in a hydraulic flaring tool ( Mastercool ) . One handed flaring, push connect , for fuel injection filters or trans quick connects. Easy 3/8 stainless fuel line ends, etc.
I second this, that hydraulic flare tool is a must have.
Might need a T-shirt that says "Did you weigh that?" If people know, then they know. Lol.
This is such a cool build!
Awesome progress! Can't wait for first fire-up! I love the attention to every detail, it does my O.C.D. heart good.
Sweet! Always amazed by the amount and quality of work at KSR. Can’t wait to see it going down the track. Hopefully the first runs will be at BMP so I can be there in person to watch
Thanks Kevin it’s been great watching this build

This car should have to deal with less tire shake since it will be on Radial tires. But, parts do break!
Great progress ! Val's Camaro is really taking shape. Thanks for the update.
Awsome day. I beat the rain from this storm getting home (southern VA) got home and discovered another KSR video to stay inside out of the weather with.
I like the voice over much better than the music hearing Kevin’s thoughts is interesting.
KSR coming out strong on YT!!! C’mon Kevin you are spoiling us with all these videos 😂 i am so happy to watch every one.
Yall are killing it!! Top notch forsure. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thumbs up!
lookin good , can't wait to see it go down the track
Val's car is looking really GOOD! You, Eddie and the rest of your team have impeccable skills, and the attention to detail is second to none! If I had money and wanted a race car built, you guys would be my choice!
Titanium Angle to fill wheel tubs will be good and attach them flat space to the vendor with seam sealer or Sikaflex.
Pretty soon "Eagle" is going to be head to head w/Vals car- I can't hardly wait!
coming along good can't wait to see the camaro done
I wish I could afford something this nice.
More and more progress. Thank you for the video.

Perma-Grit makes some really nice carbide grit "files" for hand tweaking carbon fiber. Highly recommended.
Lol..I was waiting for the hook to come off while you started to unload it
The 3m clear seam sealer is wonderful stuff!
Looking good!
The Camaro is coming along nicely!! Can't wait to see as it progresses more
Lookin killer. You got a great group of guys working there.
Beautiful work!
For the little space on the bottom the tubs it would look nice if you used a strip like on the bottom more for the looks then support !
thats a badass build Kevin. the wife and I keep giggling about the KSR you cut at the freedom factory shop , that was so funny !!! thanks for another great video.
looking good guys
Yup he good with wheel
The Camaro is gonna be wicked
KSR + SME FTW
Love seeing build work!
Wicked, wicked machine!
Can’t wait to see Eagle and Val’s car line up head to head

Wow! Getting after it!
Thanks Kevin for the video she's guna be a fast moma ok guys have a great weekend later 👌 ❤😎💪🏼
👍👍 the old standard units of measure have a connection to the devine.
Eddie for president and metric to us 😂😂😂
THATS RIGHT
Awesome! Lots goin' on!

Cool stuff in the buff!
I know this may be off topic but that viper with those colors is sick
Agreed!!! Either that color combination or the inverse of it I would definitely park in my garage!!
Thanks for addressing the dog Sam. Was very interested, appears to be a good boy that needs extra treatos
Maybe a foam rubber strip of some kind for the seams, like the tranny tunnel? Random thought. Beautiful work, Boys🤘🏻
Mad scientist skills
Cool stuff! Great video! Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
Awesome video great content👍
34 million views and growing 👏
It's turning out pretty cool!!!

Kevin is a mad amn with putin out vids WAY KOOL KEV MORE PLEASE lo
i really hope the “pressure makes diamonds” bit was a reference to Sketch because it would perfectly tie in my two worlds of youtube subscriptions🤣
That’s exactly what it was 😂
@@EddyElder99 that’s perfect🤣
Get er done Kevin!
How bout using that industrial spray foam insulation they use on boats and airplanes (not the home depot stuff). That stuff is like 199mph duct tape. Looking really GOOD. Let’s get back to work!
KSR you need a S.U.R&R hydraulic brake flare tool. Works the best of them all and handheld for jobs like this.
I will have to look into those! We do not need to flare a line in a car very often, but when we do, its a pain!
@@KSRPerformanceFabrication A few extra pinch blocks and a few mins on the lathe made some dies for AN fittings as well.
Never thought youd have an asmr channel kevin haha
Good to see Eddie working for a change. 😉😂
Don’t get used to it 😂
Hey, Ed. Pressure may make diamons, but it also makes coal.🤣
Still doing Melvin… 40:01…. Ya doing my head in mate…. 😉😉😉😉
Yes I spelt your name wrong again
Jeez! What's Eddie like unwrapping Xmas presents? 🤣🤣🤣
Looking good.
A other great video, it's really starting to come together 😎👍🏻
More updates on the Nova missing that build PLEASE....... Thanks
i support our linemen because if it wasn't for them i wouldn't have power and only have a couple flickers from debby
This build is looking fancy. Surprised you don’t use a thin strip of neoprene and stick it to one of the panel faces to help seal out the tyre smoke.
Just watching Eddy cut the tubs makes me itch.
Hi guys love you all 💕💕💕💕
Will a pro gear live in a drag n drive application?
I just used a 4 pin flanged Deutsch connector for trailer wiring and it turned out great!!
I don't know how it would work, but ONE day I will be cool enough to complete a project such as this. With the stainless brake lines up around me in Canada and doing industrial construction we use a company called Swaglok for all of our instumentation and basically once those fittings are seated or 'sweged" the failure point is the tubing at that point.

Sorry misspelt SWAGELOK
AND a like on the comment from KSR as I am watching this!.... best. Day. Ever! Keep it up Kevin and crew!
Swagelok is some excellent stuff!!
Very nice work but I think that rear differentials going to get made into a pretzel also wondering if you was going to enclosed all the chassis on the bottom side
All you need is a hair dryer or heat gun and Red Loctite will allow the removal of any fastener. If you've done this procedure you will smell something akin to over ripe or rotting apples. Loctite is a must in any mechanics tool box.
get them boiz some kilko's
Awesome content buddy love the channel 👏 👍 👌 😀 😊😊
Great upload Kevin, quick question,will Val's Camaro have the same race class rule issues being a billet BB SMX as Cleet couldn't run in certain classes with the SMX l. Or does it come down to the weight?

You should do the titanium and panel bond it to the quarter.
wouldnt it be smarter to put the head of the bolt in the wheel well area on the titanium strip instead of the nut with the end of the bolt sticking out. Could cut a tire if something moves around enough or if its on a slick instead of a radial and the tire grows
If it moves a tire far enough to touch the tubs, we have way more important other problems!
Could some kind of rubber gasket fit over the edge of the tubs? Plus seam sealer if needed
Kevin😊😊😊😊😊
Lookin Great,
you may have mentioned it, but who's front clip is that on Vals camaro?
The fiberglass nose is from VFN
Grab a mastercool hydraulic floating tool set. All hand held and does stainless steel
Whoever said carbon fiber in the background, hilarious! 😂😂😂
ditto on front u-joint self deleting. my buddies car did that coming out of burnout. a circlip suddenly decided to leave the game and spit the cap right through the tunnel, just past his arm, helmet and face, where it left a bubble in the steel car roof (about the only steel left on the car). it violently exploded the transmission tail-shaft. yeah it gained nearly 15lbs of weight after that, big U shield plate, as the driveshaft loop wasn't enough protection.
the driveshaft came with the car and was left as is(joints looked and felt fine/many hundreds of passes on N/A mouse engine), later on it twisted off an moser axle (that also came with the car), left rear wheel exited on launch, which luckily happened there.
