      My theory on the "wrench" you heard on your video the other day bouncing under the car was the piece of all-thread you cut off of the air cleaner stud! When you cut it, I said to myself, "that's going to fall out and scare the crap out of them"! Keep up the great videos.

      I can't believe he let you drive it knowing how far he had to drive! If there's one thing I know from watching MTOD, Roadkill, HRG etc etc, it's don't let Tony drive your car unless ya want content! He breaks everything! No offence Tony, Love ya! But Zero mechanical sympathy, until afterwards!

      In all fairness Tony Angelo may single handedly be responsible for the aftermarket industry. They just keep making better and stronger parts until is survives a test drive from Tony. Maybe I'm kidding, but when you see him at the end of the strip, his face said that even he feels that way. You could read "NOT AGAIN" on his face.

My personal suggestions are leave it pretty much the way it is but iron out some of the details. Put a heater core in it, wipers, a seat that will accommodate someone taller than 5'6", repair the electrical system and drive it!

    Derek, I started watching your channel about 6 months ago. You have inspired me to finish a car project that sat in my garage for 4 years. This week it is finally, ready for a new engine! Thanks.

    Love this car and I definitely enjoyed the engine build on StayTuned's channel, but it would still be great to see a big FE go back in this car. A 427 build like what the original owner had in it would be awesome! Love your channel, keep up the great content!!

    You make my eyes get all sweaty when you talk about bringing it back to the track the old owner used to run it at and how he’d be looking down smiling.
    Love it!! Good job keeping it alive.

    Good call with making the teaser at the end talking about what to look for next. It's always good to have something to look forward to and it works well just like traditional TV that teased the next episode as well. The ep didn't need to be in the can yet aka fully finished, just something you knew was happening next.
