Man I missed you and this content, this is what the people want! Thanks and good to see the C5 content again, hope all is well, been watching you for a while now , I'm on mass. Cmon spring! 🤘🏻
Finally, back to the C5. Love this car.
rick did such a nice job on the exhaust. glad he could help you. this is john. the first guy who looked at it. using the wifes account lol
As a fellow New Englander I felt this. My Jeep needs a bunch of little things I’ve held off on because I don’t feel like having my fingers fall off.
You should start an offroad recovery channel. Cheers! 👍
Great work! FYI, you posted the same link for both the caliper paint and the propane heater, so both take you to the listing for the paint.
Thank you! And thanks for letting me know, just changed it!
Fellow C5 owner here may i suggest some front turn signals from vette lights
And some new wheels if the budget permits
Glad to see some C5 content again! I have that same heater. Here in Canada, the brand is Mr. Heater. You're going to love it!! I use about two 30lbs tanks through the winter. Well worth it!
Great job! Also I wanted to mention I think you could have sanded the letters on the breaks if you had put the sand paper on a block. That way you can get a lot more aggressive with grit and pressure and not scratch the rest of it or round any edges.
He’s on a mission, people. 🇺🇸😎🔨🤘🏻 Let’s gooooo! When are you going to sell long sleeve shirts again?
Thanks Joe!! 🤙 I'll have them back on the site by tomorrow!
@ looking forward to seeing them.
Hey Joe! Long sleeves are now on the site for MADMA & The Classic shirts, sometimes they don't show up on the front page but here's a link to them both!

@ Thank you. I appreciate it. I will be ordering one shortly.
Glad to see another C5 video.
You have the most interesting C5 channel. Keep it up. waiting to see where the oil leak is coming from :)
Nice work on the raised letters. I wanna do the same to my c5. Came out great on yours
never a dull moment while on the hub
Those brake pads should be great for the street, I have the Z23 carbon ceramic on my C6, they brake as well as the AC Delco semi metallic with very little dust, nice progression (no grabbing), and no noise.
And that my friend is why you always buy the upgraded parts with all parts(nuts) included.
Also I never spray anything near the car paint without covering/masking the car
Better to take the calipers off and doing it on the bench , then bleeding the brakes and installing new steel braided brake hoses while they are off
Amazing video, my c5 vette has so many problems almost all the exact same as yours lmao especially that nasty oil leak.
Gotta give the cars some lovin sometimes
I'll be working on it!
Looks great , love the yellow
this is some very good car content. you should deserve at least 1.5 mil subs. one day though, for now im subbing right now!!
If you decide to replace the front corner housings, there are some on line all clear for about $50. Pro Tip: it’s a lot lot easier to remove the front bumper to service those driving lights than reaching through the opening.
Smart move on a solid rotor. Don't get distracted by the slots and holes as they just cause cracks...I can recommend stainless brake lines especially if yours are old, it will give you great pedal feel, but they aren't necessary for the street. Not a bad safety addition though.
The yellow is fine but not with silver. Personal preference I guess. Good video!
Bro i love your videos
Your torpedo heater link is wrong
thanks just fixed it!
honestly at this point if you want to keep the stock calipers instead of repainting them every 2 or 3 years or every year, id would suggest saving the money just have them powder coated
You don't need new slide pins just clean them
need some rims bro
Careful with those Propane heaters man make sure you got a window cracked open or some shit. Ive heard stories……..
I just want brakes with no squeal when they get warm
Those tires are not directional they're asymmetrical. It's not the same. Rotate away jakey
This is the only reason i subscribe. I was gonna unsub but your doing c5 vids again
Bro seriously just needs to tune his car
Just a Question.
Is there any Security System on this Lift, so it wont come down, or do you trust your Life to this 2 Hydraulic Zylinders?
GM links are good moog better
Should of used old rotors n pads too paint calipers
