Will Aiden’s Procharged LS Swapped Start Up?! Plus Building New Quick Performance Rear End

Summary

The video follows a group of car enthusiasts as they work on restoring a Chevelle that has been sitting unused for years. They install new parts like a high-performance rear end, valve covers, and a throttle cable while also troubleshooting existing components. After firing up the newly cammed LS engine for the first time since the Chevelle's crash, they are relieved it still runs well. They discuss further plans to finish bolting everything down, adjusting the ride height, tidying wiring, and getting it road-ready to drive within a week.

Takeaways

Q & A

What kind of car is being worked on in the video?

A Chevelle, which is an older muscle car.

What repairs and upgrades are being done to the Chevelle?

They are installing a new rear end, wiring up electronics, fixing the steering, upgrading the exhaust and camshaft, and more.

Why did they remove the original engine from the Chevelle?

They replaced the original engine with a more modern LS engine for better performance.

What caused damage to the Chevelle originally?

The Chevelle was damaged in a crash during racing last season.

How long has the Chevelle been sitting unrepaired?

The Chevelle has been sitting for around 3 years without being repaired after the crash.

What work still needs to be completed on the Chevelle?

They still need to finish tidying wiring, adjust ride height, upgrade the hood, and install a driveshaft.

Why did Dalton change the converter on his truck?

He thought a stock converter would make more power, but it likely won't perform as well for racing.

What exhaust system did they use on the Chevelle?

They reused the existing stainless steel exhaust from the previous engine setup.

How much horsepower does the Chevelle's engine make?

It makes around 500 horsepower.

When do they expect to drive the finished Chevelle?

If the driveshaft arrives in time, they hope to drive it the next weekend.

Outlines

00:00

😏 Working on getting warmth in the shop

It's a cold morning in Oklahoma. They have torpedo heaters running to try and get some warmth in the shop while working on welding up the steering and getting it ready to install on a vehicle.

05:02

😅 Discussing torque converter choices

Dalton is switching out the loose converter in his truck for a stock one because he thinks it will make more power, even though it may hurt his ET. They explain why the looser converter helps with ET even if it makes less peak power.

10:03

🔧 Installing new rear end and brackets

They are test fitting new rear end brackets onto a Quick Performance housing. The fuel system is ran and just waiting to put the gas tank back in. Lots of cleaning and prep work.

15:07

👷‍♂️ Installing valve covers and coil brackets

Installing new Motion Raceworks valve covers and coil brackets onto the engine. The brackets allow mounting the coils neatly onto the heads.

20:08

🚗 Successful first engine start

After installing the engine out of the crashed 55 Chevy, they successfully fire it up. The new cam sounds good, oil pressure is great, and valve train is quiet. Just have to fix some transmission leaks.

25:12

😖 Routing new throttle cable

Routing a new throttle cable through the firewall which is giving them some difficulty getting the bolt aligned. Eventually get it tightened down sufficiently.

30:12

🚙 Discussing the build budget

They discuss how although the car has nice parts, it was built very cheap from an old barn find. It's been a long process for minimal cost, not just buying a finished car.

35:13

↪️ Installing axles

Installing axle shafts into the rear end after dipping them in gear oil. Takes some persuasion with a mallet to get them seated.

40:15

♻️ Figuring out rear suspension bushings

Trying to figure out which rear suspension bushings to use from the kit. Determine the larger ones are needed based on the gap visible.

45:17

👍 Lots of good progress

They recap the good progress: rear end installed, engine runs successfully, fuel system complete. Still need driveline, tweak suspension height, finish wiring, and cutout hood for clearance.

Keywords

💡Chevelle

The Chevelle is the classic car that the narrator and his team are restoring in this video. It is a 1970s model that they originally bought cheap from a barn, and have been slowly fixing up over the past few years. The Chevelle is central to the video's theme of car restoration.

💡Rear end

The rear end refers to the rear differential assembly on the Chevelle. A new aftermarket rear end from Quick Performance is installed to improve performance. Replacing worn factory parts with upgraded aftermarket parts is a core part of hot rodding old cars.

💡LS engine

The Chevelle has an LS V8 engine, which is General Motor's modern V8 engine family. LS engines are popular with car restorers since they provide modern fuel-injected performance in older chassis. The LS in the video has a custom camshaft and upgraded supercharger.

💡Fuel system

Setting up the fuel system involves routing fuel lines, installing a fuel pump, filter, and pressure regulator. This provides the high-pressure fuel supply the LS engine needs for optimum power.

💡Wiring

Modern LS engines require more complex wiring harnesses than old carbureted engines. The team has to integrate the new engine wiring into the old Chevelle chassis wiring.

💡Exhaust

The exhaust system plays a big role in the sound and power output of an engine. The team reused the old stainless exhaust from the Chevelle's previous engine and it still sounds great with the new LS.

💡Drive shaft

The driveshaft connects the transmission to the rear end and allows power to be transmitted to the wheels. The Chevelle needs a new custom driveshaft made to fit the transmission and rear end combination.

💡Brakes

High performance engines require good brakes for safety. The team ran into an issue with the wrong brake calipers on the Chevelle, so fixing the brakes is still required.

💡Hood

The large supercharger on the LS engine requires cutting out a hole in the Chevelle's hood for clearance. This is a common hot rodding modification for cars with tall engine packages.

💡Suspension

The Chevelle's old leaf spring rear suspension is being upgraded to a more modern coilover shock setup. This improves ride, handling and traction for faster launches.

Highlights

Working on getting a Shelby back on the road after 3 years of sitting

Replaced the steering and aligned it to prepare for test drive

Putting a stock converter back in a truck to try to improve power

Fired up the Shelby's engine for the first time since the crash to check for issues

New cam makes the engine sound very different - has good pop to it now

Putting the rear end back in the Shelby and getting other components hooked up

Custom carbon fiber alternator mount and other personal touches on the car

Planning to drive the Shelby for the first time in over 3 years next weekend

Aiden's chevel project came out of a barn and took 3 years to get on the road

Happy with how the LS engine sounds compared to expectations

Rear end replaced with upgraded quick performance unit

The carbon fiber and upgrades make this a real race car now

Car will need extensive custom hood work due to tall engine

Crankshaft 16 inches off the ground, happy with overall ride height

The Shelby will be parking lot pimping for sure when complete

[Music]

what's going on everybody it's a nice

brisk 15° morning here in Oklahoma so we

got the tornado heaters Torpedo heaters

whatever the hell they are Dr up here to

try to get us some warmth in the

shop a working on us well monkey come

over got the steering all fixed up and

ready to go so hooking it up try to uh

halfway align it and then move on to the

next project on this car we

got the intake is on permanently now uh

we've got most of the wiring done

somehow it got

cut somehow it got cut whenever it got

taken off 55 so I got to fix that not a

big

deal uh fuel systems all all done and

connected all the red horse stuff turned

out nice like we talked

about uh trying to figure what else we

got going on we got shock brackets in so

we can get the new quick performance

rear end all set up and then pull it out

take a to powder coat put the old one

back in measure for a new Dynamic Drive

Line Drive Shaft so it's getting there

uh you know just need time and parts

just like everything else so uh if you

haven't already go ahead click the

Subscribe button to the channel guys uh

like the video comment on the video tell

us what you like um go to the website we

got plenty of stuff for sale on there

www.the mnova

docomo than the last season so uh sck

around and we will show you some more

stuff on this Shel

here she a little tight yeah he oh man

no no no no no no no no no no go get a a

punch a small

punch something that won't break quite

so easy yeah that right there you going

to snap that off he uh he pulled all

this steering shaft out and painted

it and then whenever you turned it one

way it was 2 and 1/2 you turned it the

other way it was 1 and 3/4 so we got to

try to line it up before it's aligned

and all that yeah I think this one was

pointed just a little bit that way so

we're going to point it a little bit

this way and then we're going to

see oh

what that's been too find the right

one that's pretty close

there oh that's

it what that's

it get the right tools y make [ __ ] easy

yep

do said he's changing so I didn't tell

you what dolin say got going on you can

film this I don't care

okay somebody has got in Dalton's head

about converters oh no he's pulling the

the loose converter out of his truck

he's putting a stock converter in it

because he thinks it'll make more power

I go it probably will make more power

it's going to lose ET though yep he

doesn't get it he doesn't understand

more power I said we got to think about

this man it it's not going to allow that

thing to flash what it needs to flash to

and then whenever you shift it it's

going to drop 1,500 y here here's here's

another way to to that really uh get

let's let's step over here into my

office okay so take take the mpk C it's

just for example the turbo the turbo

twin turbo small block made right out of

4,000 horsepower right and it it showed

it it would go 200 to 202 right but it

Peak

okay now the procharge mpk NOA same car

uh actually weighs 200 lb more or 150 lb

more it still

goes

200 it will it will 199 198 199 we have

for the record we have not been 200 we

have not but on a Dyno that thing will

only show 32 3,300 you know

why um I mean there's probably several

reasons I mean that converter is Loose

as [ __ ] 100% yeah so it ETS way better M

hour is

close honestly probably makes pretty

close to the

same crank

horsepower uh across the board it

probably actually makes more and that's

the reason that you can have a looser

converter and it will

ET let's just be honest probably a

little bit faster at least with than

what ours did yeah um but yes and that's

the reason uh we like it to be loose out

of the hole because once it gets out

there we have the ability to not lock it

up but seems like it does pretty close

it comes close it gets pretty close so

so but yes I you wasn't here and I was

explaining it to me but how do you

explain stuff like that to kids you go

right on man well let me know I mean

it's it's we're no different honestly

like it's like there's some stuff we

just got to try but that's what makes

makes him him right he's going to try

things regardless so that's what he's

doing today he's trying things he said

now if it slows down I'll put the other

one back in it and I said well I've got

a converter that would make that truck

really fast he

said man let's be honest I I don't dig

race this thing he was like it can't dig

race it don't have the suspension for it

he said so really all I've been doing is

Roll Racing he got beat by a Mustang or

something and he's upset seen he is

upset about it I was up withing yeah

so and and

honestly I stock converter somewhere in

the middle if you're going to roll race

that converter that he has is loose

there's no doubt about it um honestly if

that truck made more horsepower the

stock converter would probably be better

but the horsepower it makes I feel like

he's going to be real disappointed in

thatt converter

yeah got to learn things on his own him

learn man but I've got the converter B

it's the same exact converter that was

in The Man Band make that truck real

fast but H it might still be a little

bit tight for that though that makes

half power better than a stock one

though oh yeah yeah whatever if he's

Roll Racing it and like I told him he

goes I think it'll make more power I go

oh it will there's no doubt about it a

tighter converter will make more power

on the Dynam but does an ET as good

right you're going to lose that down lad

yeah whatever yeah hey live and learn

yep at least he's doing it yep so

anyways after he gets done with that he

said he'd come over

today

he straight steering wheel's not

straight I just turned I just turned the

straight before I came back

here I promise I okay well it has turned

okay okay pull that out that is not

straight well you can't get this without

pull this pill out pull this out turn

out

okay P it

out

okay hang on hang on hang on then go

over there and straighten

that that pretty straight it's straight

right now okay put back

in okay put one bolt in it let's do our

rotation and let's

see

was it like a tooth off or something all

I'm hoping all right roll roll it all

the way one way and

count there's

one two two o this is going to be close

now go back to

Middle okay now go the other way

one two can't get any closer than that

the rest of that will get out with the

with the tie rods okay tighten it all up

make sure it's all good that's all tight

after that

Aiden man you didn't bring your front

end in man so they're both hey yeah no

wait they're like this and they're also

like this things things still got to you

know we just put all that on so um I

would get that

blanket wow it was on the floor right

over

there um I get that blanket lay it out

right here and then we'll bring your

front end in and then after that

actually I can fix this

first get it on there and tighten it

tighten everything up and then we can

get ready to put your front and back on

it uh because pretty much everything

under here is done yeah you still have

you know a little bit of yeah I can do

that from underneath this one here won't

be too bad I just got to figure out

what's what like the purple wire is the

one that actually drives the injector

the reds are just powers

so no big deal yeah it shouldn't be the

only thing is figuring out what is what

so that they're

not yeah which we can just hook the plug

the ECU in and should be able to fire

the injector and tell me which which one

which

yeah uh other than that we can put the

front end on it uh wire all that up and

then get the the radiator and everything

wind out while me and you work on this

over here

no aen Dalton over here working on

getting inner fenders

out losing some weight on this

rig monkey is about

to fit the new shop brackets onto the

new Qui performance

housing got the fuel system all ran back

here just waiting first to put the uh

gas tank back gas tank back in

it

make a lot of noise Make a lot of

noise that PR

straight what uh your side needs to come

up go about 6 in I don't know about that

it's pretty level right there really now

now your side needs to come

up oh we need take the whole rear end

yeah whole rear needs to go up right

yeah you got to go to like what right

height that's kind of where I was at so

we can just get measurements make sure

it's

centered make

sure

so I'd say somewhere right in there

would be right

height probably cuz it's pretty damn

low your side needs to come up just a

touch

ship well I sure hope with that t right

why pump and and we're going to get into

the original Nova has

problems is that really right height I

mean I guess it would be if those arms

were straight out

huh I don't

just I can have the boys hold that wheel

up there and we can [ __ ] see

uhuh hold it up there in the middle oh

you just hit yourself in the chin didn't

you that hair just kind of pushed it

off D you's got that big old goatee Sho

up a little bit hey if that's ride

height I'll be I'll be totally good with

that

monkey I feel like that might even be a

little bit low which I love it don't get

me wrong but yeah okay that's good

though huh that's good it's going to tck

that

tire I mean you know hey it wasn't T the

the lift of the wheel was about like

this so it it can still come down or

come up it could go either way and I'd

be all right with

it get all that out of kind of clean all

this up cuz that's how all the rust

happens look at all that stuff up in

there they're just nastiness everywhere

in here look at this side that's how it

happens all all this nastiness caught up

in

there um so this for sure goes to all

that man look at this thing been sitting

outside oh that what is that I don't

know but we ain't going to use none of

that transmission yeah these were

transmission but I don't know what this

is ow well we'll make one of those one

of those will go to the steam the steam

top go for the steam

V oh this one got a drain pet coock on

it

also that's one of those $100 uh eBay

that you got uh and electric fans work

really

good yeah know this car never ever

needed or anything

no and Aiden would sit and idle the [ __ ]

out of it cuz it sounded cool yeah it

did and I told him it'll never sound

like them days are

over just go out it oh man look at this

headlight not even in it well you don't

take very good care of your [ __ ] W you I

that is not what I said you're going

you're going to get it everywhere you

just said blow all that out no I didn't

I said suck it all out no you said suck

it all out get go get the the vacuum

suck it all out of there there's about

to be a mess in here

[Music]

man doing some measuring yeah just

trying to make sure

it's see monkey does things right we the

I to

win here monkey I marked these for you

he be like that's where you want that

huh yeah this where you put

it Aiden dton getting the new motion

race Works valve covers on on the chevel

here so I brought him two right I

brought him two different choices of

valve covers this was a test brought him

some nice cool looking shiny ones and I

brought him some nice American made nice

ones it was a test and I I feel like he

passed looks good

I like those yeah they're nice Billet

pieces nice baffled already has the the

the hole there for the catch cans like

that's a nice piece

yep uh is that a

13 uh

yeah so these come with the coil

brackets kind of a modular deal put the

coils on the brackets Bol the bracket to

the Head boom

done now we're we're kind of getting

some electrical stuff in line here so we

can put the front end on and and we can

at least well and honestly we may not

even have to put the front end on yet

yeah but we can at least uh run some

power to some stuff start checking all

of our our Electronics you know click

everything through the fuel Tech yep and

just see about

it you fire this

deal I

mean I mean should be should be so this

came directly out of the 55 everything

like literally everything yeah we ran

this the whole season uh the only thing

that we did was put this ProCharger on

this motor right so but all this crank

trigger stuff was set up by Louis at

fueltech and all we did was take it off

the 55 and bolt it in the exact same

location in this car

so I me it should eliminate us from in

in all reality we should be able to fire

it right up TPS is hooked up we already

did the learn yes all the vacuum lines

are hooked up we don't have any fuel

leaks that we can

see

um we got to do is fire it up listen to

it make sure that the crash didn't hurt

the motor that's the only thing that we

didn't do was we have not fired this

thing up since the crash we

did well we didn't really have it apart

all we did was put a cam in it oh yeah

no we took it apart and put a cam and

everything looked fine nothing up here

got beat up I mean hell it's the same

proar charger yeah like none of this you

know old 55 steel was strong had that

good American Steel yeah so it should

fire

up that fuel pump lets you know it's

working yep we're here boss ready to

go

ready is

yeah

all

hey

great yeah something's so I haven't

hooked up the o2s yet so it'll probably

idle even a little

better once that's hooked up I just

don't understand what's going on with

the belt the belt is trying to jump on

us which you

know and it sounds good though God dang

that new cam is is different yeah it's

uh that's not your normal LS cam there

still hydraulic roller yeah man it's

it's got some pop to it what do you

think aen man it sounds amazing compared

like after all the stuff that y'all

hyped up about how it's never going to

sound as good as it did with 350 it's

pretty 350 sound it sounds amazing for

sure but this is a close second it is it

sounds good

the the whole stainless Works exhaust

that was on it worked out amazing and it

still sounds killer it'll sound better

whenever it gets a little bit lower to

the ground too we got quite a bit of

transmission fluid leaking yeah but that

tells me that the pump is pumping and

that's

good that's all I wanted to do is hear

it all I needed to do is hear it make

sure that we're not pissing in the

wind and then it's knocking something

like that and the belt scared me for a

little while it kind of sounded like

something up front wasn't happy uh it

makes all the oil pressure what was it

at 80 90 80 80 right

there that's better than lots of stuff

that we have around here yeah you don't

good oil pressure man it chops sounds

good Val trains nice and

quiet now all we got to do is finish

putting it back together which is the

easy stuff all the hard stuff is done

finish the rear end oh yeah Aiden's over

there show the rear end quit performance

rear so I just don't want to be beating

on it right now how did it work I think

it's flush right here

clear yeah no that's good don't go any

further than that cuz if you hit it

harder you'll end up messing these

threads up and try to use the same

nut or use a different one every time I

got this not right here or use a

different one every time because

eventually you'll you'll wear that out

the threads out of that so in fact

that's what I would do I would the one

that you use this one for i' put back on

that just like that and then use a

different one every

time CU one time ain't going to hurt

that

nut 15 times Mike 15 times gets

sucessive this came out pretty good yeah

um it came to

us uh from Quick performance with these

brackets monkey welded on the ones for

these for the shocks and he also welded

on the ones for the anti- rollbar other

than that this is how it came from Quick

performance uh we took it up to our

local powder

coaters uh affordable coating solution

affordable solution coating affordable

coating Solutions one of those ACS yep

and uh they knocked it out for us in a

day

so I think the clear looks

amazing

so come over here and nothing to it now

but to finish it yep

uh we turn the fans on all smoke out we

will uh we still got to put the water

tank in the

trunk

uh fuel systems

done we still have to hopefully by the

end of today I can get these things

filled

up uh we can if we can find some solid

stock aluminum I'll put the alternator

on it

today uh and and then we can

put the front end back on it still got

to put a throttle cable on

it bunch of easy stuff down down to all

the little stuff before we can drive it

uh we have no drive shaft yet we did

measure for it uh so it's coming uh and

then uh a shift linkage and we should be

good to

go

[Music]

there we go what we got going on now um

I am trying

to should have done this throttle before

before we piled everything in the way

all this wire

everywhere um now there's a whole lot of

fangs in my way you

know um you know what Dalton I'm going

to have to find I'm going to have to

find a washer I don't like it but we're

going to have to do

it so O

So time for a throttle cable heard the

first fire up

there got dton in here feeding throttle

cables and things through the firewall

oh that may as well be a a thread and a

needle this sucks doesn't it that's what

I've been

told oh my Goa there it

is oh you got all the goodie out of that

one mhm grab another one I still use

just want for one more

probably uh I got to see the wire

through

[Music]

okay

some of them go through pretty easy what

are you doing I'm tightening this to the

firewall okay I had to take the line out

cu I couldn't get it through

it oh you pulled the wire all the way

out yeah because I couldn't get the

washer or

[Music]

the okay now oh yeah yeah yeah yeah okay

that thing

up oh but this guy's hot I just grabbed

it

okay five more halfway there but on like

ones like this guy right here it won't

even get any of the threads there it

[Music]

was got press it in there that I can't

grab a thread to press it in there oh

okay well you try no I'm just telling

you like I'm just telling you that you

can't

okay yeah just do what you can hit it up

in there it's getting tight keep going

[Music]

uh I get it pretty tight let me let me

see I I I need to hold it on this

side put the nut on there without

anything whatever you can do you may

have to get in there and hit it with a

hammer anything you got to do get it up

to get the nut on there and then pull it

a little bit and then put a washer

behind and pull it a little bit more

whatever you got to do

okay I'm holding it tighten

it that's pretty tight right there not

working that's not what it looks

like not at

[Music]

all

wish this side had the

little did I hit it yeah you hit

[Music]

it there you

go

walk her around

yep Bottom t when I need some

help some help thanks coach

yep

[Music]

okay

the nothing's messed up

yeah

good

now go get a a

wrench that way we can get them all real

close to the

same it's

tight these are always fun to get to

uh-huh what he's about to

do w

all that fit on just the way it is he

tried to get the ratchet wrench on it I

said nah he goes

why do it on your back laying in a

driveway uh-huh you don't even know what

it's like you got your spoiled with all

these to of the to Creature

Comforts nobody in the comments would

ever consider you spoiled never that's

never happened not one

time look you can say a lot of things

man I have a lot of nice cars uhhuh I

could have just gave him one oh yeah

that chevel came out of a [ __ ] Barn

that we gave what 5 grand for it 5 grand

5 grand for it so yes you stole that

thing yes I've put a lot of nice Parts

on this car I Ain just buy him something

already done nope would have been a lot

easier sometimes I wish I would have it

wouldn't have stay here for a year and a

half

M yeah or 2 years whatever it ended up

being 9 months of at first he thought it

was three

uh-huh 3 years when he first got the car

basically it been sting since he got it

out of that

Barn he's the one that threw the drive

shaft out of it but you know broke it

yep Oh yeah you didn't even get whatever

we put an LS in

it here we are y that drive sh wasn't my

fault it was fact that it was from 1972

And the fact that y'all didn't tighten

the bolts when you put it in there you

go there you go those bolts were loose

Aiden the UB bolts are still in

it the UB bolts were still in it it was

the little caps on the that came out

caps were still on it but something

about I know it was their fault yeah you

told me was it happened after yall did

the exhaust no we got underneath it and

you said oh yeah you both are still in

it and I was like yeah

I don't know I don't remember I remember

thinking it was y'all's at the end of

the day it was their FA for sure all you

think is a Stock B

well wasn't ours

yep we'll fill that one more hole in the

firewall oh yeah I didn't showed that

yet pull the rear end out of it SW

everything over man this thing's Real

Deal race car now it got carbon fiber on

it

so we had some carbon laying around from

an old this is a old belly pan out of

the NOA that's what it was so cut it up

for the record I thought I had some

aluminum somewhere we do but it's black

aluminum and the boys went out there

they said we ain't got enough you know

so now it's carbon and now I'll carbon

this one

too from the back side that's pretty

close to a perfect circle I did that

with a cut off

wheel how many times did it shut off

none on this and soon as it touches it

it goes through this yeah like

butter I uh I'm still impressed with how

it sounds like me too let's be honest

like I love ls's but they don't sound

that cool most of the time you know what

they sound better than coyotes coyotes

yeah for

sure but nothing beats the sound of a

old small blocker and old block

yep but this sounds pretty good got a

lot of transmission fluid leaking

everywhere I know it's

weird figure it

out boom probably could have put it

right on that they should have put it

right

there put it like

that

um once we're done with that I got to

get some bolts for the

alternator

and I would really like to have the rear

end in it

today get the

axles uh dip them in some uh grease that

old Maxima and then slide them in figure

out which one goes on which

side oh not right there now you still

got to put the studs in is that with

that little box right there is that a

stud kit yeah all right put them in it

got them nice that spot there yeah all

right let's

try is that the longer one that you got

right there long

one

yep no

no I put out win that was sufficient

okay

do you hear it it

goes it's kind of good yeah know that's

that's sufficient that should should

work probably put your some on that

bearing out there

too you're going to have to lift it you

know like you do a cam shaft lift it and

then get it in there you go there it is

now you can usually turn it and spin it

until it goes whoa whoa whoa now take

your finger put a little bit around that

and then

[ __ ]

oh nothing I know it wasn't a lot he

dipped the whole shaft in there and then

he just barely gets a little bit yeah I

put I put more chapstick on than

that here here let's get it off the

caliber we're going to need

that

[Music]

going I don't know you can't

[Music]

tell it's going

slowly slowly maybe

yeah Ren him a man to hit that

deal there you go hey don't let go of

that thing hit me in the face with that

mallet

are you picturing

it

oh seems pretty solid yeah if this is

the right side it' be a solid

in he's not real good at hitting that

though he's hitting the the housing end

first Ricochet off like his golf shot he

hits the ground

first is it coming out no

no oh yeah no it does not look like

it all right well what I would do is I

would get something and i' shove it

through there and that's how I knock it

out I don't really know what maybe Jack

handle

yeah

um got

all here okay I didn't I but you're a

baseball player okay I didn't know I hit

right get the middle of the ball I was

trying to hit right here hit the middle

of the ball we're hitting Dinger not not

grounder's

[Music]

kid okay now put your feels in just like

you did it's already in oh pretty close

I mean pretty

close that goes just like

that just needed a workout today that's

all this was for y'all's benefit that's

watching so you know not today I did not

I got I've got a weak hand no not yet

but promise I hit a few more I got weak

hands anymore

man

pathetic

embarrassing oh man y are way

off there it

is

what

don't look at the

Gap what's the

problem we can try

it it look like that over here too once

he gets out closest to the door we'll be

able to tell

um so we had we got a bushing kit for

this thing it's a

solid

so it

came what we have left is a regular

bushing like this right

[Music]

here and a smaller one I feel like it

needs the smaller one's on it I think it

needs the bigger one so you can look at

the Gap look at that look how big that

Gap is look how close it is there this

side mon is real bad and mind the gap

now that's I mean yeah I wonder if I

wonder if that's why they s all those

shs lift it up with this and let's look

yeah I'm thinking that's probably why

they got some sh maybe so but we could

just use that

bigger man is the radiator going to fit

with the

pipe perfect yep it's it's going to be

precise almost like it was built for

this car

yeah monkey I'm cool let's just put

these bolts in like this and then uh

I'll show you how I do

things show you something I have my

daddy come over and line all this up me

if your daddy do it for you I'm going to

have Daddy do

it same thing Aiden's going to do

uhhuh oh yeah because hey you can see

that this one was all the way forward as

far as it would go but I also believe it

needs to be lifted up just a little bit

in coule

look up and I mean we have this much

more if we need to come up but we we may

also get two jack stands and set the

rear end and set it on the ground and

see if I would like to have it on the

ground because I know what this front

end is doing

remember but this right here will help

sturdy it up so basically what we need

to do is we need to get some something

jack stands and then have

Dad we could put jack stands underneath

the back end and let it down

yeah do we have any more than those

two we almost had some the other day and

we didn't get them we can take those we

can put this thing on the ground right

now we got everything in

it it's almost on the ground now

uh-huh sh I ain't seen this baby with a

front end on it and three years yeah at

least three maybe three and a half three

years it definitely ain't fit under a

hood get underneath

there find some Rags or something cuz

monkey doesn't care about your rear

ear nope he's just going to do it that's

right go okay come

down y I'm going to turn the

stair

what he say he said you trying to not

scratch up your fresh powder

coat look at

this

push

okay

that's that's the right

Shield how close is your side still up a

little bit really my side looks pretty

good just a little wider on the

top oh

yeah that's not a bad Gap right there

that's what she said I don't I don't

mind that at all this side a oh yeah

that's

[Music]

fine yeah right looks

good you think about that but

look but you can see it was on the

edge

see oh I like it I I like that Gap I'm

okay with

that the whole Fender needs to come up

so it needs to couple shims underneath

it it's going to be a big old cow hood

though dude this thing is not going to

have a hood for a while that's going to

be a big

Hood yeah I know it's going to need the

sooco yeah is it you're going to have to

get you uh I mean if it's got to have

one yeah it could just get cut out like

the rest of 187 stuff I mean got to get

you a bunch of cans of spray paint and

start cleaning up

your we may just uh get a bunch of uh or

uh cut it out like the rest of the one

stuff yeah it's kind of our

signature everything through the hood

what are you running that yep

y you're

nope there ain't nothing else under

there all right we'll get this bolted on

and then after that we just start tid

everything up

y you think this thing's charged yet yes

we got got that new Bluetooth

charger so man that's a pretty good day

on this car yeah I mean new rear ends in

it we fired it up and everything worked

mostly I mean yeah I don't even think

I'd say mostly I mean it worked it

didn't I was about to say everything

that's in the car is working the brake

calibers were the wrong ones but that

was just some stuff that we tried to fit

off of old stuff that we had yeah uh the

the hood is not cut out SL now the

whatever is going to be pretty extensive

yeah but we also tried to put that motor

as high in the car as we could yep it's

up there I like it up there I I honestly

would if I could get it up another 2

Ines I would yeah Aiden get a tape

measure and tell me how far the crank is

off the ground and it better be 16 at

least oh it's at

least I'll say

uh I think the ride height of the car is

still going to come down now you measure

from the crank you measure from the

bottom now if you want that CR shaft up

yeah I mean that don't look bad to me

the front of the car's got to come down

uh another inch at

least it looks like right

de can't take measure you

know

what is it monkey 16 17 16 in

exactly like there's been some body work

done right here yeah in this

guy

um whatever it's one of those deals you

got to deal with your [ __ ] you want

it to look cool or you want it to

work if you want it to look cool and

work get out the checkbook well I mean

as of right

there

well it won't go down too much more

before we collapse them Springs

and well no we're not going to collapse

the Springs but we're almost out of down

travel so I'm okay with that uh I don't

know how much more the arms will go down

though from right there Aiden could

probably lift the car up but I don't

want to do that until we get the

everything bolted down cuz I truly

believe that this right here is going to

stiffen this BR definitely keep a lot of

it as a Fender that's a lot of metal in

that Fender yeah and we're going to

tighten both of them down really good

and that is going to help the structure

of this front end a little bit the

strength the strength weight sign of

reliability this thing reliable as hell

there a is a train coming by our house

sounds like it's fixing it sounds like

it's pulling through the driveway yeah

maybe it derailed what do they do what

are they deliver that's why I asked him

one night I was like you get used to

this yet he's like what I was like all

right then yeah never mind never mind I

mean remember how close my old house was

to the train tracks it never never

bothered me gosh BS are cool man yeah

even ones that are beat up no paint like

they're just cool been setting for 3

years and sun I don't care where I'm at

what I'm doing if I'm sitting at the

Sonic and I see a chevel roll through

and it's chopping the block I'm going to

stare oh

yeah yep no doubt this one the way that

this thing's going to chop this one's

going going to be parking lot Pimpin for

sure to the

fullest so uh I I mean that's going to

do it for this video on this chevel

obviously we still got quite a few more

updates uh we're going to come through

here tidy up all the wiring make all of

it permanent

finally and uh you know ride height

bolting figure out what we're going to

do with the hood I wouldn't mind and I'm

going to go out on a limb here and

say

if the drive shaft comes in this week we

drive this thing next

weekend yeah yep it's always been a cool

car I'd sell my blue one 15 times over

before I'd sell this one

yeah or let Aiden sell

it yep it's uh it's going to be cool for

sure
