Kevin, you stole my line! Just retired after 40 years of doing Tool and Die along with CNC programming. I trained many apprentices throughout the years. I always told them that you learn something every day. Sometimes it's on how to do a job. Sometimes it's on how NOT to do a job. But you can always learn something. Either through yourself or by watching others. Even people who you may feel aren't as smart as yourself, (check your ego) because they may still do something in a better way.
Outstanding. I have 32yr with FoMoCo and 37yr in automotive.
My Sunday is COMPLETE...Cutlass video!! Still making progress and that is what matters!! I think most people will agree with you, that we all learn from each other, it is part of life!!! Thanks for the education you give each Sunday!! IT IS AWESOME and much appreciated!
A day where something is learned is a GOOD day
"More x's, more triangles. Yeessss."
Kevin going all mad scientist chassis builder. You only need a muah ah ah ah laugh at the end!
Yes, I Love to watch people that know what and how to do something, when they know allot and then how to teach others ! !
Kudos Kevin, I'm 68 and am learning to TIG and learn from your methods!
Appreciate the extra effort you give for teaching.
Thank you,
James
Glad it was helpful!
Miss you Buick boy!!!
Cutlass chassis is going to be finished before we know it! Excited to see how you build the rear support structure.
Learning is always good and yes same same but different but still good
Kevin,you rock! Love the updates on the Cutlass. Peace
I will watch just about every video you put out...... I look forward to every video you make,
Thanks!!
@Kevin your never to old to learn new tricks & that is coming from a 65 year old that wishes he was taught a lot things when i was young ! I knew a bit stick wielding but was never taught i just grabbed it & went at it & was able learn from my mistakes ! I'll see you next year at Indy God Willing I'm still alive by then !
Keep up the good work can't wait to see Cutlass done
Always look forward to a Sunday cutlass video
I love watching the progress on the cutlass, your welds are beautiful, you are the heli-arc king, you must be a millionare with all the dimes you have stacked, fab on bruh, fab on
Much win with KSR!
Lots of tech in this one, really good for us DIY's at home. Many thanks, greatly appreciated.
Thanks this was another great video that taught me some things that I didn't know. And I'm seriously old, and should know this.
Thankyou, always enjoy the technical part of a build.
Hey mate, you progress is very impressive. Not only on the Cutlass but also the Morris's Camaro. Give yourself a wrap. Have a good one👍
Great job...good content...and yes we all can learn something from watching as others do....thanks🔧🔧👍
Been a subscriber since your first colab with Cleetus/Garret, the entire "Mullet" build and even before that when you were helping him with tuning. It's been a pleasure watching you through the years. The level of attention to detail and just true craftsmanship are better than most, you're definitely among the best in your craft. Reminds me of, (Gal 6:4), and how you're always evaluating your own work and still willing to learn, as we all should be.
Like in Scripture, there is just so much to learn that were I given an hundred lifetimes I don't think I could ever plumb the depths and riches of His Word but that does not mean I will ever stop trying. His Word is one of the most beautiful love stories ever told, (is something I often read/hear said), and I wholeheartedly agree, yet it is even so much more than that, (Psa 18:30).
Take care and God Bless...
Sure the cutlass might be similar videos, but it’s part of the process.
Looking forward to seeing that car getting finalized.
Thank you
Now my Sunday is compete.
My first car was a ‘71 cutlass. 350 “rocket” 2 barrel, one leg rear. Was a beast on the highways at least.
A ksr Sunday nothing better
Nah. Not the same thing every week. There's always something different, some more wisdom to soak up. I dig it. Talk nerdy to me!
Go Kevin! KSR for the win! Always love the videos buddy! I think the more gussets the more betterer!
Shop is lookin good Kevin. Sweet.
Kevin Sunday videos are my favourite
If people wanted to keep things a secret, they wouldn’t show it on UA-cam. lol.
We can always be learning.
Your positive is awesome. Thank you brother..you inspire me to do more.... and at the moment it's ab 80 degrees here and I'm working on fire wood for next winter. Sux lol. But I'm working through with your encouragement. God bless you and your family.
I'm retired Navy and even as a Chief, I always told my new people that if they saw something they thought could be done better or different to speak up. Sometimes the new guy looking at things with fresh eyes can see something that the old eyes have overlooked. Old dogs can learn new tricks.
Really enjoy these videos', they give me a chance to see and understand a lot more about why you build things the way you do.
Love seeing the videos on your own car even if it's just more bar work for now
I really enjoy the cutlass series. I can't wait to see this hit the drag strip someday. Keep up the great videos!
This series is awesome bar by bar I love it ty Kevin
You could get a license plate frame that says Oldsmobile on the bottom! 👍👍👍😎🇺🇸
Thank you for the video.
liking your thinking safety and strength
I really enjoy watching you and Eddie fabricate and am learning a lot of new tricks. I agree that for a good weld, a good comfortable position is really important. Keep the videos coming!
Remembered the intro on this one
Love it Kevin, the ones who can keep it real and be humble while they do what they do best is a true character trait of someone who wants to be better, gets better and truly loves what they do. Keep it up!!! The cutlass will be leaving others in the rear view mirror. Love the build!!!
Awesome work Kevin! Always good to see you working on the Cutlass! I'm enjoying every video!
Kevin! quality work as always! Thank you for letting us watch and teach us some good information! Have a great Monday!
🤘😎🤙
Man that, Carbon Fiber welding mask looks good!
It does!
Loving this build , Look forward to every Sunday evening here in the UK 🇬🇧
2 minutes after upload, let's go!
THANK YOU for giving us a window into your amazing world!
Best looking Buick Monte Carlo I've seen in some time.
Grrrr
Awesome two videos in one weekend The cutlass videos are my favorite
Yes yes and moreeee!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSS
Idea: Use the laser table to cut out KSR logo triangles and weld them into the gussets.
Rolling right along on the Olds Kevin. Looking good 👍
I love Soccer Mom, and I understand there's a ton to be done, but it would be great to see the Olds' debut at Sick Week 2025. Thanks for bringing us along on the journey. I look forward to each and every video.
Looking good! I'm excited just to hear that Olds engine. Hurry Up!!😂
I have greatly enjoyed the Cutlass series, and anyone who calls you an idiot is jealous or misinformed. Keep it up, Kevin. I have learned a great deal by watching you. Even if I never put it into practice, it's nice to have answers to questions I have always had. Most of us of us will only build our dream car
in our heads. So it's nice to see it all coming together slowly, instead of a complete vehicle come together in a 30 min video. I appreciate what you are doing, and thank you for it.
neat tool cj and ksr nice see ya share
The CJ Racecars angle iron trick looked super handy! Granted you don't need it; it makes sense it would help. Super close to getting the body off. Still impressed how fast this car came together with just you working on it!
My first car was a 72' Oldsmobile cutlass S. Got it when I was 17. I really loved that car.
What's funny is here you are talking about CJRaceCars, they were actually talking about you 3 years ago when Troy just started there and you had been redoing Mullet and how awesome you are.
What about making a frame with an over centre clip that you can open those rear quater windows for airflow on those long hot drag n drive days......would be kinda cool to have the windows flip open at the back.........
Badass work buddy. Hoping to try some of your tips and tricks on my Malibu chassis.
Love me some KSR channel content.
Ilm sleep when I dead hahahah
The intro reminds me of the ship of theseus paradox ^^
Getting threw another Sunday with Cutlass thanks
I find it surprising that you didn't know the trik with the alignment tool. And happy to see you humble enough to credit them for it. Well done!
Woooooooo atta boy Kevin!!!! Thought maybe you didn’t have time to Cutty it this week.
New drinking game. Every time Kevin says he’s going to stop talking have a drink. Actually don’t do that - you might die!! Well done Kevin - great videos as always.
Keep doing what you are doing, I enjoy the how and why
Hey Kevin! Happy Sunday! Actually stopping the video midway to compliment you on the content of this video - there have been at least 4 places that I've thought, "I remember wondering about that before, and now I learned how that works!" How cool is that? Thanks, Kevin! (More comments in a bit, gonna finish watching now. Just felt compelled to say your content you share to teach about your trade is top notch, and DEFINITELY educational!) More in a bit!
👍 progress is a good thing
Another great video on the cutlass Kevin 😊 Being a bridge and nuclear Wilder myself I truly know how important it is for triangulation and load support and load transfer So also being an excellent tig welder I enjoy watching your videos 😊
The day we stop learning is the saddest day.
Everydays a school Kev.
LOL, not first!! You go Kevin!!
Kevin that angle piece for lining up the bars was a great idea. I watch the CJRC channel and completely missed that on Eagles build.
Hell yeah. Keep it up Kevin. Ksr for the win.
Keep up the good work!!!!
Can I borrow it for a Friday night drag?
lol KSR Rocks 🤘🏻
Wampum Pa ! Thats where i ride my sxs, Mines and Meadows ATV park an hour away from my house, small world👌maybe ill check out the racing☮️
My first car was a 79 cutlass with holes in the roof from the landale top that rotted off. Love this build
Coming together quickly. Good to see. Love how you use other people's techniques to make you and your work better. Always learning as you say. Great!
Good job brother 👏
Frickin sweet dude! I always admire watching you tig weld. I think I'd have better luck with a pedal but my machine is lift tig and it throws me off when I'm trying to teach myself but like mig I'll eventually do alright I'm sure
Then 10 seconds later you show that angle tool. That is really cool!
Not a welder or chassis builder, but have thoroughly enjoy the Cutlass series.
10 years ago I bought a 02 400ex from a kid in wampum for $250 and it wasn't stolen lol. He had a shop put a new top end in it and it wouldn't start. It was just out of time. Stock seat plastic and graphics in perfect shape. Brand new tires and everything was tight except the carrier bearing had some play. Wampum
I'm the anybody Kevin is talking about in his video. I'm a software dev; but built Squirrel in my 4-car garage using things I learnt from videos like this. Watch a lot of videos, look at what others are doing in vids and at the track, and do a lot of practice... a lot! You actually explained today why I did something that made sense in my head but didn't really understand why I was doing it, so yes; we do learn something every day 😁
Awesome video Kevin! I learn a little every time. I'm a retired 70-year-old performance shop owner. I really enjoy watching you fabricate and showing us ways of doing things a little easier and the right way.
Once again, absolutely love the video. Yes, your videos are extremely helpful because just like you said about the "CJ Jig", there's SO MUCH I've learned from you to integrate into my car for safety and if nothing else, cosmetic and trick reasons. I know my cage is getting your welded nut trick inside the tube to mount things like the parachute on Val's Camaro. The plugs with the threaded inserts are driving me nuts to figure out without a lathe. Lol Keep it up man, appreciate the time and consideration put into your content.
Yeah... I opened my first motorcycle shop before Google and UA-cam existed... We did have MSN Groups, but that had a lot of trolls who slowed things down a bunch. For the most part, I just had other shop owners showing me a trick or two, or talking me through something on the phone. None of us were in competition with each other, some of us were better at one aspect than the other so it all worked out well for everyone. Towards the end, it was cut throat business tactics where some shops were belittling other shops. Not one time did I try that. I always saw it as we're all in this together. It's always relaxing to watch your videos and listen to your theory on what ever is up for the day.
I look forward to Cutty videos
Kevin Smith you are smart good for you for building something for your self can't wait to see it in the winter circle
Always a pleasure watching your Sunday morning videos thanks for sharing!
Sooo prolly won't have it done to be at sick summers then? 😂 Bummer. Hopefully I'll get to see you next year!
Ive had to weld on my stomach upside down being bent for 12 hour days man i hated that job but it paid really good.
great work kevin
There is nothing wrong with using other people's tricks of the trade.
That's how we improve....
Looking good, Kev😊
I heard a term and felt it fitting in ton several parts of this video....."That's a situation for future Kevin" lol..everything is looking very cool, lot's of thinking and planning and tons of attention to detail.
Kevin, after watching Cleetus's videos which led me to your videos which led me back to Cleetus's which led me to CJ's race cars leads me to know that you are working HARD AF!! Youre building a full chassis on your own in youre "free time" love the content, keep it up!!
Kev, these how-to & why chassis building videos series are excellent. They show people that they don't need a chassis jig in order to build a certifiable race chassis in their home shop. Q: What brand(s) hole saws do you prefer for the tube notching that give you the most cuts? Cheers!
Milwaukee “Hole Dozer”
@@KSRPerformanceFabrication Thank you & enjoy the rest of your weekend. 👍
I chuckle every time i see the name hole dozer... hehehe
Kevin, your videos are never same, same.
I throughly enjoy watching them and look forward to each post, just a down to earth bloke who cares about what he is doing. Be it with family, employees, friends and colleagues
Just love looking at each page/ project you get involved in.
Keep them coming 👍👍
I look forward to Sunday's now thanks to you Kevin and the cutlass videos so I'm going to make a joke about the gutless cutlass and that's only a joke because I know that car is going to be a bad ass car when it's all done
