You have inspired many of us to get busy on our projects. I have an old Mustang that I bought in 1985. Drove it around for a lot of years but it has been mainly parked with minor issues for the better part of 10 years. After watching you at work, I got to work and have driven it more this summer than the previous 10 combined. Was holding out for the "perfect" build but am realizing your philosophy is better. I am embracing it's many flaws, getting out and enjoying it thanks to you!

    Hi Derek, I wouldn’t have dreamed of reaching out, but the co-incidence of you releasing a video about a trip to Bristol is too much.
    Watched EVERY video of yours, such an inspiration.
    I’ve just bought an old motorcycle from Bristol in England, and made a one off video about collecting it and bringing it back home to Glasgow 400 miles away.
    Totally inspired by your work, and referenced/acknowledge you, but it isn’t anywhere near as sketchy as your adventures.
    The most I could hope, is that it makes you chuckle.

      To be honest, that truck is too nice for this channel.
      I did notice the couple sprits of black spray paint to get the patina look.
      Hope to see it often, and get that trailer figured out so it's easy to load Charolette.

      I came hoping to ask about the boosted 400. What happened? I'm guessing it wasn't enough.
      I have a similar truck and it will need a rebuild in the next year or so. I considered the 8.1L, but people I know said their MPG is miserable. It'll haul anything, but you're paying for it. My main 2 routes are to turbo a small block or quit all the bojangles and install my spare Cummins. I'm going for reliability, torque, and MPG. I just feel so guilty about extracting the small block.

    As critical as that ribbon cable is I would have run it through a tube to protect it...small extra effort for a very important piece! What a fantastic experience and adventure at Bristol - congratulations Derek!

    • @roybentley
      @roybentley 10 місяців тому +2

      I was thinking the same. That ribbon cable needs some blue conduit and a proper bulkhead at the “firewall”, if you can call it that. A feller might also box the electronicals with plexiglass with some computer fans (with red, white, and blue LEDs of course) pulling air through a filter for them.

    Derek, I admire you. You're a mechanic with skills and you know how to drive. These things are obvious. But what impresses me most is your values set, those things that you prioritize in this life.
    Always be yourself Derek. You got a great family that I know you are proud of and that they're proud of you.
    Congratulations on your trophy, winning the championship. In my heart and mind you'll always be America's Number One Burnout!
    All my best always, Eric.

  • @anthonyblacker8471
    @anthonyblacker8471 10 місяців тому

    For the oil change on Charlotte, she seems like a GREAT candidate for the drain plug fitting that you click an adapter right into and it drains. We used those in all our tight clearance pans (usually exhaust pipes in the way) and they're a LIFE saver! Just push to click and drain with a hose.. wonderful!

    we recently bought an 87 sierra 3/4 ton from an older couple that has 76,000 ish miles on it, we took off the bed, cleaned the frame back there and replaced a couple crossmembers that were bad, with 2x4 box tube. We painted the frame under that bed and painted the rear semi float 14 bolt, freshened the up the front end and painted up there too. We pulled an 8.1 and an allison trans out of another chevy that we plan on swapping in to the 87.
