Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2023
- For the life of this channel we have won many races in the front wheel drive class. We have won a lot of big races at a lot of different tracks all across the gulf coast including the big HUNT THE FRONT RACE and the Hot shot shootout at Pike County. We love this class and will never quit racing them BUT ITS TIME TO MOVE UP!
We are moving up to the pure stock class to see how we can do. It is a huge learning curve that we are excited to venture in to. Skyler has been building his pure stock dirt track car on the channel but things haven’t been going like he wanted so this new to us car looked like a good deal for our team.
Enjoy this new journey as we tear down this car and get it ready for the track and bring a little bit of change to the channel!

Thanks a lot. Thanks for following along
Glad you got a metric car. Can't wait to see the build videos.. go FFR

Really excited to seeing this car race ready!
Me too man. Hoping it’s pretty soon
Youre killin it. Cant wait to hear it run
Thanks man!!! I’m pumped
Them boys ain't smart enough to come in out of the rain!!
Like the addition, good luck with the build
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. We had plans later that day that we had to get home for. Couldn’t help the rain!
Thanks man hope it works out well for us
You know you don't mind getting wet when it's for something you enjoy, plus another memory with little man and Pops
@williammcmillin8524 that’s correct. Wouldn’t trade it for the world
Kool ride , it makes me want to go get one that I've had my eye on for a while now .... 🤔
as always , it does my heart good to see you leading by example as to making it ALL about FAMILY and living out your version of the
AMERICAN DREAM ...
Thank you. Family is the most important thing. Just glad to be able to experience this with them and bring you guys along
Sweet !!
🤘🏻
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing you run it 😁
Thanks man. Very pumped about it
Can’t wait to watch you build this!
Thanks man. I’ve been catching up on your videos slowly
Nice find! Always look forward to a new project.
Thanks Ross! This one should go a lot faster then the previous build!
Gotta love old school I started out in a 73 Oldsmobile cutlass
That’s awesome man
Can't wait to see you get this car going for sure!!!
Thanks man! I’m excited about it for sure
Awesome to have another car especially with an engine hopefully it runs well keep diggin. Clay from mobile Alabama
Good to hear from you clay! We are hoping to hear it run in the next video
Moving up a class has been the best decision ive made in my opinion its funner and easier to drive cant wait to see yall put some FFR shine on that big girl 🏁
Thanks Rick! I’m excited to see what we can do with it
There's definitely alot less rough racing once you get above the roadwarrior/ bomber class .
Heck yeah !
Yes sir 🤘🏻🤘🏻
The new car has a 2bbl victor jr intake. I’m ready for you to open it up and you will probably find some goodies. I’m going out on a limb to say it’s a race engine for sure 🙌
Oh yes we have been told it was solid back in the day. Supposed to be fresh with one race old just stopped racing it. Hoping it sounds good
You'll need to swap the intake to a dual plane Skylar
@racertjay yes sir. This was filmed a month ago. I’ve got one coming for the next video
I'm sure it will look tip top! Good find.
We think so. Excited to see how it turns out
Awesome find man. 👏
Thank you sir. Props to my dad and Austin
It’s a good base to start with
Thank you. I feel it’s better to start with this instead of the legend
We had to add a ton of lead to ours , plus had a set of heads bolted in. In was a job even trying to get cross weight right but the car wasn't hooking up before the extra was added over rear axle . . it was 79 monte
Awesome. I know we have a lot to learn with all that when it comes to setup. But I’m excited to be able to get ideas from you guys
@@flemingfamilyracing please post as much as you can building this , I can't race anymore but sure do miss it . . . I watch you guys and others to fill that void and my second favorite thing to driving was building! I appreciate a racers lifestyle and all you guys do
I’d really like to see your car on a set of scales and the percentages with all that lead at it’s current placement.
the evolution of classes is crazy what used to be considered a purestock 5 years ago is now a Bomber/road warrior and a streetstock/superstreet is now a purestock . The metric monte carlo is definitely a good choice and will outperform the camaro 90% of the time theres always that 10% a blind squirrel finds a nut. Its all in the rear suspension on the monte carlo.
Yes that’s what I’ve been told which is why I decided to go with this car
@flemingfamilyracing5752 I worked as the idiot in the tower at Swainsboro Raceway for idk 10-12 years I was one if the people running the scoring system. The metric cars definitely outperform the Camaros there are some exceptions but you'll be pleased with car once you put the work in on it .
the reason for this evolution is because the rules dont get inforced then becomes the norn
What an insult to the name pure stock. Track sounds reallllllllly great. /sarcasm
I’m excited to see the difference in both cars
Skylar this is david sals you will love a metric pure stock on dirt i ran one for a few seasons and had a blast and the payouts are oretty darn good for a purestock class. In corphs christi when i ran i s there for 2 seasons at dofferent tracksin texas we ran the 10 inch asphalt latemodel slicks or cluld rub the towel city red dots and the asphalt slicks produced more gripon dort then the new towel city tires we could grove the asphalt tires or anything nust sipe them and man they looked bad to the bone like old school dirt outmaw street stocks and tbey hookedup beautifully and nice thing was the latemodel tzke offs from fkve flags and mobile are cheap cheap cheap.
That’s awesome man. Yeah I’m pretty excited no doubt
I’m a v8 man and ready to go up a class as well! Car looks good
Thanks man. Gonna look a lot better soon
The metric car was definitely the way to go!!!!
Thanks man. We sure are excited
As a camaro guy I'm sad, but I'm excited to see you succeed in a new class.
Thanks man. The other car isn’t going anywhere gonna still see it
I cannot wait to see the car completely finished carcinoma look awesome out there running that pure stock they don't run them here in our row quilt rack in Beckley West Virginia they run street stock say more cars but bigger motors can't wait to see the next video on that car
Thanks man. Part two should be awesome
You're welcome man not a problem I'm going to continue watching every video I'll put out that I don't care what it's about but I'm going to watch all of y'all these videos because you're awesome UA-camrs and y'all you're awesome I like all the content that y'all put out there ffr I want to watch every video y'all don't matter if it's not racing or whatever whatever y'all put out there I'm going to watch it and comment on every video I'm a big fan of ffr
And I would love to see y'all come to Beckley West to race at Beckley motor speedway hope Bernie y'all do come this year but if y'all do I probably will not get to meet you in person because I have to work on when they when they race at that track at Beckley motor speedway
You're welcome man not a problem I can't wait to see the rebuilding of that the rebuild of that a stock race car is going to be awesome I cannot wait to see the finish I cannot wait to watch every single episode of the build of this Grace car and hopefully you get it before the end of 2023 and you get erase it in 2023 but if not I'll be watching for in 2024 can't wait to see part 2
@joshdickens3974 it’s coming soon
Uh oh yall he knows that durn gamble boy ! 😁😁😅👍
That’s right. He helped me big time
@@flemingfamilyracing definitely a good guy
Now you say that my Dirt track got trend in to a junkyard and the transmission movie 🎥 was filmed parts there it was called Duke city speedway Dirt track racing. I think the first one or second one not to shor need to ask my kid's. From Albuquerque 🤙🏼
Man I hate to hear that! Never wanna see a dirt track shut down
Hey man, what size shop are you working out of?
It’s 30ft wide and 24ft deep 👍🏻
you said you had a body, is it the one that came off of her or is it another one? great channel. been watching from the beginning, take care guys
Yes mike you have been here from the beginning and we appreciate that.
I’m going to use this body until I get the hang of it. Don’t wanna hang a brand new body on it and smash it up first race lol
There called rear upper and lower trailing arms
Awesome. Thank you for clarifying that
u can prolly get those from a junk yard for cheap
@jamessidebottom9706 awesome
Good to know
@@flemingfamilyracing im guessing if thats a metric frame and ford 9 inch then the pads on the rear axle tubes have been changed to fit a metric style once u get em off look up trailing arms for like a g body id guess
A little soap and water never hurt anything... 😉😉😉
Once she is cleaned up she will look good!
@@flemingfamilyracing i was thinking you could of used that when you was playing in the rain. Tell your boy to grab that bird he was scared of and come down to the swamp so we can turn him into a pirate... 😂🤣😂
Are you going to run your number 13 on your new race car are you going to run that number 13 I thought I had not watched this video but I have but I'm going to re-watch it again
Thanks man.
Not sure what number I’m gonna run on this one just yet
Okay can't wait to see what number you run and I cannot wait to see the finishing touches of that race car I can't wait to see it all finished up because y'all were awesome UA-camrs and y'all can build some awesome race I wished I had the money to build a race car I want to be a racecar driver so bad but if I would get the money and build a race car my car would have to be a automatic because I cannot drive a five-speed
Look like a street stock
Back in the day at the track it raced at it was called that. Last time it raced was 07 but according to the rules at my track it falls into pure/factory stock
Ok I love going to races to see street stocks and late models and sprint cars so to me it looks like a modern street stock
Under my home track it would be. Just would need a lot of changes
Do you know what shape the engine is in ?
After talking with a few people who know the car and looking up the engine builder we believe it’s a fresh engine with only one race. Next video we will dive a little deeper and see if we can get it running
Gave up on the Camaro?
No sir. Like I mentioned in the video I dropped it off at the blaster and it’s still sitting there. I’ve been by a few times but they keep putting it off. Gonna check with them again hoping to get it back soon
What is a "metric" car?
The 1978 General Motors A-body (later called G-body) intermediate platform used mostly metric nuts and bolts, which is why everyone calls it the "Metric” Car
What makes it a "metric" frame???
Monte Carlo/gm g body car
They call them this because GM used all metric bolts for these cars
Thank you. Learned something new today....
@stephengautreau4043 you’re welcome. Trust me I’m learning alot. Thanks for watching
78-88 Monte Carlo , cutlass , regal , lemans , Gran Prix , Malibu , not as wide as old Chevelle frame , 108 inch wheelbase
Motors are electric
I know I catch myself all the time saying motor instead of engine.
Who knows maybe one day that’s all we may be able to race and I’ll already be ahead of the game 🤣
@@flemingfamilyracing we all say I need more motor lol it's all good
I called them b hobby instead of metric car
Nice
Not sure this is right move. All your going to do is spend more money then you do now to race. It won't be anymore fun then what you race now. Just more expensive.
The expense is not something that bothers me enough to outweigh the opportunity and chance to try something I’ve never done.
It’s a new world to me that I’ve never been apart of. We shall see!
@@flemingfamilyracing I understand that, we all do that. It's exciting learning new things and new adjustments and setups.
@@alexbernard8266 yes sir I’m excited
That’s mayson Barnett’s old car
Really?? Would love to contact him if there is anyway to let him know
Just realized you meant the stinger lol. Yes that what the owner said
