Matt: “One thing I admire about hello fresh is they’re carbon neutral!”
Also Matt: *Has 6 trucks with straight piped Cummins turbo diesels and fuel tuning to roll coal*
What's wrong with carbon?
Plants need carbon. We exist out of carbon.
@@zteaxon7787 it’s not that carbon is bad. It’s just the irony in the comment that Matt highlighted how HF is a carbon neutral company but he’s out here straight piping diesels
It’s the work they do as a company that allows individuals like himself to enjoy the things they love.
@@Finiti35 absolutely. Never said there’s anything wrong with him doing what he loves. I love watching him do all this stuff!
Diesels are cleaner that petrol
Next time I’m in Texas I want a ride homie 🔥
😂
When's your monster T/A gonna be ready? Maybe a tug o war is in order?!
Was thinking that this is right up your alley
I just realized I’ve been watching you for almost half my life and I’m 18 I remember when you renamed this channel too off the ranch you always make day’s better thank you Matt for being you
@@gearbanginentertainment7476 he can have a life and spend ~20 min every other day watching this as his entertainment lol
550 hours dedicated to something in 9 years is abysmal… you obviously don’t have hobbies
20 minutes every 2 days is not much at all, y'all are way too salty lmao
What was it called before?
Me too! But I'm 19
Those leaf springs probably aren’t gonna give you a good ride regardless of the shocks you put on it. Thirty year old heavy duty trucks just didn’t ride well at all. Since you won’t be hauling a heavy load in the trunk, you might wanna consider thinner springs or even coil spring conversion. Glad to see you got it home though. Hope you enjoy it.
A couple of thinner leaf springs and airbags for when he put the trailer on it. 👍
Or just fully bag it and call it good.
I've said it a few times, wish they would have four-linked the car with some coils or coil-overs. 1 ton truck spring on a light little car not so nice.
Bags wouldn't be a bad idea
He's said repeatedly, that he's going to be using this to pull trailers and shit. I'm not really sure that he's building this thing for "the ride quality".
I've been sitting in the hospital since last Wednesday, waiting for surgery. I've been binge watching both Demo and off the ranch and waiting for you to post a new vid!! I love your content bro thanks for entertaining us all!!!
Get better soon!!
Feel well soon!
And enjoy the content Matt brings us all!
I've been in hospital two weeks looks like I'll b here a month car accident almost died almost losty leg stay strong militia.... Keep ur head up
@@justiceperez24 Het better soon also.
Be happy you're still alive to enjoy the content!
Hang in there, get well and strong soon!
I'm excited to see that temporary Cuda badge still on there after all this time, makes me glad I sent it to you guys.
Awesome stuff!
Next he should cummins swap a Lambo!
Man the Cuda is absolutely insane. But I would say instead of rerouting the exhaust I would just get more air into the engine so it'll burn the fuel completely and you wouldn't have the soot problem you do. It'll be awesome to see it finished Mat!
But the 'roll coal' crowd doesn't want to hear any of that.
@@crazyeyez1502 😂 No we don’t.
That was one of the points of this build was to roll coal so I doubt he will tune it out lol.
I think you should put a mini stack on it. One that comes up and bends rearward at the same angle as the windshield. Then reverse cut the tip of it (so the top side is cut, not the underside). Overall make it just a smidge higher than the roof to keep the soot off the car. Beside making the car dirty, that soot is going to look stupid on the car (IMHO). I see plenty of trucks that run a real short stack close to the cab and the truck is nasty dirty. Comes across as a half baked build if you follow.
Two years for a pro build is actually not bad at all. Especially one this unique. Quality build!!
Matt is living the dream that basically every guy has had since he was a kid. Getting to build the car of your childhood fantasies? Doesn't get any better than that. He deserves it all, too.
Building a car and writing a check ain’t the same thing
@@paulbigham5079 Regardless of semantics, he's got the car he's wanted since he was a kid. Do you?
@@paulbigham5079, Matt did spend time at both shops doing the things he could/was permitted to do with "Adult Supervision". So to say he 'just wrote a check' is inaccurate.
He's not afraid to get dirty, and he also knows his limitations.
@@paulbigham5079 He's built more cars than you, new here?
Matt, this is seriously one of your best ideas. Looking forward to updates as she progresses!
Mat @01:08 they are Kevlar arm protectors. Stop immense heat getting through. I use them at work with +700 degree heat on exhausts. Awesome kit.
Kevlar or nomex or both?
Now I've seen all the safety gear you got, I expect you to be wearing it!! No excuses now
I love seeing Hotrod and Holden Bros working together. So cool.
I vote run the exhaust out the back. Twin pipes, with vertical tips just clearing the trunk lid
Matt, dont bother painting it, just have it wrapped. That way you can put cool demo graphics on it, it'll look cool, you can do what you want with it still and not worry about the paint. Then you can change it up whenever you want!
Could do a nice paint job and still wrap it for protection.
@@jasonm9264 both ideas are cool now we wait to see what happens.
He'd have to still finish the body work and then at least primer and clear for a wrap to actually last
Really hope you decide to get it all dolled up sooner than later, I really love how it is looking but I know it will be amazing when it's done.
Put a nice mud friendly coatin on the bottom, then do beautiful paint on top.
Best of both worlds.
Mudder underneath, hotrod on top.
Also, make sure you sound proof it good so you can tow an RV down the freeway in relative comfort.
coolest custom project yet! you really need a 7ton monster truck with a ballturret on the belly to go with this.
Congrats. I’ve watched this build from the start, including subscribing to muscle rod and Holden bros. It’s been awesome. It’s great knowing that there’s going to be more CUDA coming✊
I'm so glad to see that the Cuda is up and running finally, it's been a long wait but definitely worth it, thanks so much for being the crazy idea man u r today and I hope to meet u eventually, August 28th at Circuit of the American from 8am to 12 there will be a big car show and would love to see u come out!!! Last one of the summer

Is it cool for black smoke blowing out ?
Love your videos. More so family video's.
Happy for you and family having the good life.
@@kimbrundige6320 it is the constant smell of the smoke getting inside these diesel cars and trucks that I didn't enjoy.
Hey Matt, another thing for your Cuda list should be new wheels, those 39's require at least a 8.5" wheel to support them correctly and safely! Just looking out for ya! Love that its running and looking forward to future video's!
Brandon and his team are true craftsman!
Absolutely gorgeous. It's like you read my mind, I HATE when someone throws a car on a truck chassis. Brandon did an incredible job channeling that beast! I love everything about it!
It blew out because he ground all the welds smooth on the first one and it took away strength.
hey matt I would wrap it instead of paint, that is because you can aways rewrap it much easier then paint but paint one scratch it's done value goes down so wrap it can scratch it will not make the value go down. ps you go mudding in it do a lot of things you could not do with paint.
The one thing I wish he kept was the green color he picked as first but I love it no matter what
Paint the Cuda with Satin Black Bed -Liner. Heavy D has done it on several Trucks. Paint it with Bed Liner and you won't be afraid to scratch it.
Matt this week:
I’m’a take it easy for a bit…break her in right…
Matt next week:
We’re here in Colorado at the trailhead of Imogene Pass…yea boys, we’re goin’ offroadin’
Awesome video. The Cuda is badass. Muscle rod shop and Holden Bros. have really pulled it out with this. All their excitement being involved with you with all you are doing that involves them is great to be a part of through all the videos from all of you.
So exited to see all the things your gonna do with the Cuda
It’s called a heat sleeve they’re typically for the pit crew. We use them when making set up changes in the pits while the rotors are still hot so you don’t bbq your arms
As cool as the hood dump is, you really should put an exhaust in it.
For what reason?
Cutout? Have both?
Side pipes for sure
@@tetlow2 so you don't get soot all over the windshield and inside the car/truck.
@@tetlow2 probably to more evenly distribute the smoke, that shit blowing right there will coat the windshield pretty fast
Nice! An Edge CTS2 or 3 might help with some of that stuff. it has adjusted speed calculator and all the injector/performance monitoring right on your windshield. It's nice to see everything without looking at the dashboard also
How does that patched intercooler not look cool? It looks so incredibly cool! Love how each beefed-up section makes it look like it’s up-armored! Looks almost “tacticool” in a good way!
Anyways, I just can’t get over how friggin SICK this Cuda looks!!!! I was never into lifted cars like this; but this build completely changed my mind!!
And also, for those who haven’t sub’d to Holden Bros and Muscle Rod Shop, DO IT. For a gearhead, it’s heaven.

Awww I was hoping to see Lincoln's reaction to his new car. 😁
Matt, you need to get ahold of Mike Finnegan from motor trend he just finished the 12v roadkill ramp truck. He wanted to race cleeters galaxy again but that car is sold so I think the Cuda and the ramp truck would be a great showdown once you have it done and tested.
Those small things would bug the heck out of me and I would have to have them fixed. Lol
I love all of the work that went into that engine. Just a built badass power plant. That header is crazy too, makes it sound quite a bit different!
You gotta get a different exhaust setup otherwise the entire back window and rear end is gonna be covered in soot
Definitely one of my favorite builds on UA-cam. It's turning out sick . Awesome work that the shop has done for sure
Time before Matt sees how many trees he can knock down on the ranch with the Cuda?
Tach.
Our a ac delco 6.5 alternator on it.. has a tach output..
Speedo.
You need to change the gear in the transfercase to correct the speedo.
Smoke.
Does not make any more power. Turn down the smoke screw on the p pump.
Matt, please do not end up shooting this Cuda up like you've done with a lot of the prior cars.
Barracuda fastback was my favorite growing up in the 60s, my grandfather drove a yellow convertible. To VFW AND back 1/2 mile trip.
Love ur vids Matt keep it up!
If you don't already you need to put a tow hitch on the back and see if it can really tow something or just put the tow hitch on there just for looks
Linc's a lucky kid, i'd have loved to take my date to prom in somethin like the cuda
I don't know what you were going for with the car but I just see MAD MAX and his dog riding off into the sunset with a massive explosion in the background. ITS GLORIOUS VISION!!!!!!!!
I would reroute the exhaust completely so you do not smoke out your passenger even with windows it will still come into the cab.
Aren't they going to plumb the exhaust out the side?
@@MegaBrownie5 yeah I'm pretty sure that's what they said in a video a while back. They just rotated it up to run it and shake the build down.
Can you please explain why the black smoke? I don't understand why you would have it. I have loved muscle cars for years but I never have understood the black smoke. Thanks!
Even out the front fenders it will still come in the cab
Hey Matt, you know what you should take that beast to Line-X and have them spray the floor. It will make it much rugged and stronger. It'll probably will keep the sound down and it's easy to clean up then putting the stock flooring just in case. If you go mudding in that beast you won't ruin the floor if you had Line-X on the floor.
Speedometer runs off your final gear ratio, i.e. "your tires", I noticed the tire you may be running, to be slightly over stock diameter.
Bigger tires would make the speedometer display a slower speed.
My dad worked at Mcpeek Chrysler Plymouth,his demo was a Cuda when I was 10 sitting on his lap steering. Besides a super bird Cuda is right there
Well let's see what we've all been missing cause in Matt's head, all the times of, "I coulda if I had a Cuda!"
The Demolitia is 11 million strong and you get to bring the Cuda home?!!! That's a pretty solid week lol
I actually predicted that he would never actually let Brandon finish it. I really hope I'm wrong though.
Nice to give Brandon a break from it I suppose.
Brandon should have finished it a year ago. I hope this was Matts way of kindly firing him.
@@itsneight1260 Matt did take it away several time making Brandon rush to get it ready to leave. And he wasn't the only one working on it.
The yellowish sleeve is a burn sleeve for working on things in the deeper parts of the motor when it’s hot.
I'm glad you haven't tried to dump exhaust out the side vents. You're realizing how much soot that thing will make and how bad it will ruin a nice paint job 😂
Try to squeeze a light bar soemwhere below or above the main front bumber bar.
Matt Brandon Holden bros y’all killed it love watching this car and what it has become!!!! Congrats guys!
Matt I have watched this whole series with the Cuda Cummins from the day you found the shell and I must say that I have been living vicariously through you bc this is such an amazing project and you have really inspired me to finally finish my 94 dodge stealth.
Start writing a list with a sharpie on the floor pan. Or just carry a dry erase in the passenger seat. Lincoln is going to love it. InsAnnie will enjoy it. Your other two ladies in the house, well, maybe not so much. Lol, have fun with it. Looking forward to seeing the fun.
Yes! Been waiting on this. Side pipes!!!!! Big chrome ones!! Also some demo logo mudflaps would look pretty sweet.
Love your channels. I really like the construction videos. I know you are incorporating all aspect of your life, but dude those construction videos hit different. It made me choose a trade job and I think of your videos everyday during work. Keeps me motivated. You just made everything so simple.
Matt if you put a clear paint protection wrap on it after bodywork and paint, it should help it from getting super scratched up when off roading
Bad ass. Can’t wait to see it painted. As for exhaust. Raise the pipe exit up a little bit higher so it blows up and over the windshield.
So Matt, Line-X has s product called body armor. Its a smothered out version of their bed liner products. And it comes in all manor of colors.
Matt if your tach and ac stopped working it might be your engine speed sensor on the front of the engine that went out. My 95 2500 had the same problem and it was that sensor that went out. The computer doesn’t think the engine is on so it doesn’t register a rpm and the computer won’t disengage the ac clutch.
Such a long time coming but well worth the wait and everyone that has worked on the Cuda has out done themselves
You have to paint this that original green color you were talking about. Make it it truly special!
Hey Matt if your afraid to scuff the paint but want to go mudding just do a cool colored bed liner like a midnight purple bed liner on the whole body and leave the rims, bumpers, and emblems black
You are truly living the dream Matt.
Good for you Man.
The CUDA looks AHHHHHHHWESOME !!!!!
I moved from Fredericksburg to Arkansas last year. I'm sad I won't be seeing the Cuda cruising around town. 😫😭
I think it's badass the way it is. Love the matte black. It just needs more interior so your kids have a safe place to sit. Then ya'll can all enjoy it.
The Cummings Cuda is looking magnificent.
Probably about a year left doing final fitment and all the little odds and ends to get her 100%
I still think you should give her a show quality paint job in green or maybe a hypershift paint.
If you get a good paint job on the cuda just PPF it and you will be able to do whatever and the paint will be protected.
Makes me want my 1970 Cuda! Had the classic muscle car raised back end. Air shocks, Mickey Thompson 50s tires on the back and '70s on the front all on cragar SS rims.
Glad to see you are taking a little bit of a break in you’re UA-cam schedule. I love when you post everyday/every other day but don’t want you to get burnt out. Take the week long breaks whenever you need to. Love the vids man
The only thing I dislike on it is that exhaust sticking strait up like that in front of the passenger seat. Basically I see lots of gas and soot being sucked into the cab through the AC vents. Vent it out the back and skip the black lung.
Hey Matt love the 'Cuda! I think you should get it wrapped in "Panther Pink" just for the test and tune phase of the build. Who knows it may grow on you and that's the color you end up doing the final paint. It's a true Mopar color and very rare...just like this beast is. I think Mere would love it too. She's gonna do it anyway so just beat her to the punch lol. For the hood you can have Brandon fabricate an oversized flat black "Shaker" that's functional. For the exhaust I would lose the single stack and run a custom stainless mandrel bent dual exhaust out the back with "exaggerated" factory tips...I'm sure Brandon could make it happen. Rolling coal out of that cool stack is fun but cleaning the car after every run will be a nightmare not to mention breathing diesel exhaust isn't the best idea.
honestly should do a loud mopar paint color like Sublime Green, Plum Crazy Purple, etc... along with the billboard across the rear fenders.
Rolling a little "Coal"! You just need to get a taller stack so the soot goes above the roof line Matt. The speedo may need a new gear for the transmission.
THE CUDA IS ALIVE !!! It may have a black eye and a few bandages, but it's alive. I am so happy for you Matt, you, Brandon and the Bros did a awesome job. Lot's of love from the American Hillbilly and the Hillbilly Nation, Hillbilly Up brother.
Two words SULASTIC SHOCKS. Made right here in Texas (San Antonio). I installed them on my Duallie and they made a huge difference in ride quality! Look em up!
"I got it one piece at a time, and it cost way more than a dime. You'll know it's me when i come through your town. Gonna boost around in style, gonna mud it and get wild, cause I'll have the only one there is around."
I think you only got one sleeve because it's a heat sleeve so you can work on the engine and not burn your arms. I have done Lisle brand ones and I had to buy them individually. I'd assume it's the same thing
Muscle Rod shop and Holden Bros have done an outstanding job with the Cuda. It is so awesome cool. I love it, Mr. Animal.
19:45 maybe the AC is overworked since it's not operating in a closed off cabin since you don't have side windows?
It just makes me smile as it’s backing down the lift ramp!!! 😊
The beast is finally home!
I continued to watch this channel with a gap of a year and a half, and finally I caught up with the time))
You could always wrap it till you figure out what you want to do with the outside. Maybe a grey and black camo with your logo on the doors .
The cud’s needs the single dulley wheel. They make them for tractor trailers. Just one single wheel and tire give a more Hot Rod feel. But still gives you load capabilities.
Those are called Super Singles.
Dude. I just LOVE the sound of that 12 valve idling. I bet with the soot deal you're going to have to lengthen that pipe a bit higher to keep the window from being covered. Orr turned down underneath, maybe out the side. I see lots of soot in the future...lol. At least you didn't do like Granger in his diesel video with WhistlingDiesel sticking his head out the side window and being covered in soot...lol.
Such a baller build! Congrats to all involved in making your dream come true! Looking forward to the eventual completion.
I can’t believe this project is 4 years running. I was a freshman in highschool when it started and I’m starting my senior year now. Crazy that it all flew by so fast
Spray the outer body with a smooth armor coat paint like bed liner and then wrap the outside in something cool and if it gets trashed, re-wrap it.
Or go half and half, the bottom armor coated and the top cool AF paint or wrap
You should do a black rhino lining on the whole cuda. That way it would still look awesome but you don’t have to worry about beating it up playing in the mud.
🔥☠️ OMG !!!! I love how the lights slowly get brighter when it cranks up. ☠️🔥
Cummins cuda, something only a true Texan could come up with! Thank you Matt, glad to see it's home! Looking forward to the rest of what you want to do with it.
