I used to spot my own packing in photos on web. It feels strangely good.

I have a 1967 Pontiac Catalina. I was installing new downpipes from the stock exhaust manifolds and broke both bolts on the passenger side. Got pissed off and left it for another day. Mike removes his entire exhaust, cuts it up then welds it back together. I feel shame. I will be out tomorrow installing mine. Thanks for the inspiration Mike.

My father in law just sold his 67 Grand Prix convertible, 428 HO, 4 speed. It was definitely a cool and unique car.

Totally agree. Great job, Mike (and team)! I used to watch Wheeler Dealers and during this episode I was thinking your videos are even better than those were.

796.2 I never realized how small that thing is until I see it next to a 90s Toyota. Has to be terrifying with that amount of power.

Man puts together a whole car all to go and get a cup of coffee. I appreciate the dedication

I subbed because you thanked commenters for teaching you something. Idk why this is so rare but GG on humility and putting your pride away to learn. Love this car btw. Also 756 HP!

Steady pressure, low speed and some patience and drilling stainless is less of a pain in the ass. Amazing job once again. Thank you for sharing your work.

Add a worm drive clamp over the screws on the steering shaft, it will both totally ensure the screws won’t back out AND raise eyebrows.

@dwaynepenner2788 are you talking about a hose clamp...

This is my first time seeing your channel, Wow! The production level is awsome! I will be back for sure!

Why wouldn't you be proud of logging a half mile? I'd be proudAF!! It's your build! It's coming to life. It works! I love it. Can't wait to see it finished.

I'm glad you mentioned Solar Flux. I've been using it for 20 years with great success. You should do a video about it. Solar Flux is so much easier to work with than full back purging with very similar results.

re: the low front brake lines. I've made brake line shrouds with aluminum or steel tube cut in a half circle. Bend (if you've thought ahead) or weld on mounting tabs. Cut a slot for the trunk feed line (or weld on another half circle section making a "T" of half circle tubes). I say 711hp SAE adjusted at the crank. Such a nice truck! I know you love building but I would have a hard time ever getting rid of my projects like these. I feel like the e36, Ford truck, and 244 GTK are Stanceworks' portfolio trio.

when You weld Vband flanges bolt them up with clamp so they will not warp, also don't put Your purge plugs and weld over them, they will be fucked up. Love the built btw :D

Absolutely insane build. I love this. So very UNIQUE and badass, too. Always great to watch and learn from you. You hide nothing - we see your brilliance, as well as your rare blunders. You explain your reasoning and rationale behind your decisions and have excellent videography to boot. Best of all, you actually DRIVE your cars. Keep up the great work.

Mike - been following you for years. Always love the content. While super simple, I really love your tape pipe cut trick. Absolutely brilliant!!!!

In every other example I've seen of LH/RH threaded hubs, the direction the wheel rotates during normal conditions (driving forward) is the direction that would tighten the nut (left hand thread on the left side, right hand on the right side). If you're in motion and you slam on the brakes, the momentum of that hub nut is going to put force in the direction it was already spinning. They are probably tightened to the point that it doesn't matter, but very curious about your reasoning here. *edit* after a bit more research, many manufactures (bugatti, lotus) do it the way I described, but many others do it your way.

I am still trying to understand his claim/ need of requiring left and Right center locks. All four wheels rotate the same direction and the braking force is the same on all four wheels. I haven’t been able to determine for certain but I believe from watching pit stops even the Formula 1 Race cars have the RH direction center locks on all four wheels. I would think the rear wheels or all wheel drive would be most vulnerable to loosen due to the counter force between drive torque and braking.

@Patrick94GSR

@@wirefeed3419 Look at a wheel's rotation when the car moves forward on the right side of the car (clockwise) as opposed to the left side of the car (counterclockwise). That's the reason for the theory of needing both RH and LH threaded centerlocks. Some cars like the Porsche Carerra GT do this, with different color center lock nuts (blue and red) to differentiate thread direction. But other cars like the Porsche GT2 and GT3 RS cars, use the same thread direction on all 4 wheels.

@@wirefeed3419 the left side of a car, counter clockwise turning propels the car forward. On the right side, clockwise makes the car go forward. But since different companies do it different ways, it seems like it doesn't matter enough to worry about.

Best channel to give me some confidence on taking on some fab work myself. Thanks Mike for your channel and advice

Our dog Rudy was just as excited as Chloe to see this project one step closer to completion.

Great to see the Model A ripping again, I’m going to say 756.4bhp

Great tip i picked up recently is to use plastic high heat tape for piping mock up, its stronger and leaves no residue for welding, it works awesome!!

I appreciate your no-nonsense videos . Thank you.

That hot rod is one of your coolest builds. I'm estimating the truck is going to make around 785, plus or minus one HP.

Awesome!! Brilliant that she’s back on the road. 812.5hp. Exactly.

Good production Mike, really enjoyable to "build" with you.

Awesome build. Nice to see it back on the road. 814.2

Dude the editing and music in this one was killer. Such a pleasure to watch. Also, I love this truck and will be really sorry to see it go. Especially to someone who isn’t me. Goddamn I want to buy this thing.

792.6 What a beautiful monster. Imagine the original owner living long enough to see it's new incarnation.

Man I love that truck....I'd drive it everywhere. Top notch dude!!

832.6 love this thing and love watching you at your craft. Always a pleasure

802.4 is my guess! So stoked to see it back on the road, awesome work as always

796.4 Wicked build, great to see it back!

Really interesting video this week....including the control arm stuff !!! ...also nice to see even you have the samel pr 24:20 oblems us 'mere mortals' have when working on cars.

This is my favorite control arm manufacturing channel on KZread!

About aluminum nuts and bolts that you mentioned at 30:00, I once had a replacement axle made for a second hand bike fork. While I was on the machine shop with the finished axle and a hub to check for fitment, which was spotless, I decided to check the insert of the thread without any lube. Neiter I or the expert mechanic spotted that mistake. We needed to use a wrench to remove an axle not even screwed all the way down by hand. The amount of friction on 2 aluminum pieces can be insane. I didn't know which lubricant method to use on that, so now I've learn something more. Thanks for your content, it's among the best car content on the whole platform.

yeah aluminum hardware in aluminum REALLY can "gall" up! learned that the hard way, myself many years ago!

HP Guess 761.2HP - Awesome work & filming - THANKS!!!!

I had my D shaft come out on my Land Cruiser at about 20 mph and 1 turn before I was getting on the freeway. Luckily I was aimed to the side of the road and didn't hit anything. I fixed it on the side of the road but I sat in the truck for a good 20 minutes trying to process how bad that could have been. I did the exact upgrade you did. Nice vid.

I'm going to say 580 hp to the rear wheels. Great to see this awesome build up and running! ❤👊

My guess is 641.7 rwhp. interested to see the progression of the build. started to watch your channel years ago, because of this project. Love it, be proud and keep up the wonderful work. Kind Regards from Switzerland.

Really good camera work and editing 👌

768.4 HP. Truck looks amazing, great work!

804.8 hp - love your videos! Can’t wait to see the smoke this thing can put out😮‍💨

It's a testament to your vision and creativity that this isn't your most famous build. I'm not much of a hot rod guy but this is just about the pinnacle for me.

784HP I absolutely love your builds, the quality of work is by far the highest I have seen anywhere.

The overbuilt steering shaft assembly makes me really happy. Steering is an excellent job for the belt & suspenders approach.

Love the content. I have learned so much. While I don't comment every time the stuff you do is really inspiring. My thought is 766.6 hp. Good luck on the dyno!!!

814.9! Some of my fave2 content on YT. Keep it up!

never minimize a victory, no matter how small it may seem. take pleasure in every win! truck's a beast and looks amazing, looking forward to the continued development :)

771.1 HP. Excellent work Mike!

She's unbelievable Mike! Small, yet massive; dwarfed by a sonata, but makes a bigger impression than a cybertruck. Atta boy Mike!

Good to know about the mark for left tightening nuts. Thanks! 👍

Bro I'm always going to be here for some more control arm builds. Keep it up brother you one of the best.

685.5, love how it's comin out man, can't wait to see what the next project is after this one is done

Nice ride! I’m new to your channel and am looking forward to more.

Incredible craftsmanship! Both the truck and the video production! I'm going to say 802.3hp

813.4 HP - Great episode again. Keep up the good work!

690 HP Brilliant Content. Congratulations on getting on on the road again.. -WAM

786.6 hp, BEAUTIFUL vehicle, can't wait to see it fully completed!

Nice work Mike! Love that thing. That fuel pump is ridiculously loud.

Such a sick build, incredible. 796.5? I gotta have those decks. Awesome content as always man.

808.5! So glad to see this thing moving again!

713.2 Killing it with recent episodes. Can't wait to see what the next project is.

Very nice job ! I can't believe your channel does not have 1M+ subs (yet !)

Love to see it back on the road! 777.7 hp!

This Model A is up there with some of my favourite cars on the Ol Interweb, Mike, this car is awesome, i hope you never sell it, if you do, i would love to see it in my garage in Australia. 👌

Very beautiful build man! Congrats! I think that you gonna hit 844 hp on the dyno..! I hope that i will win the decks!! keep up the good work and content!!

802.3 hp. Beautiful work!

562hp, glad to see this truck rolling again, matter of fact i think this is why i subbed

766.4 hp, looks awesome, and the dog outro was great.

776.4hp at the wheels. Awesome build!

Hello! Love the truck soo much, glad to see it rolling. Im guessing 741.1 hp!

Be proud mate, its an awesome truck!! It will make 712hp at the wheel

I really like the approach you take with all your builds and explaining your process. It's crazy one my other favs inheritance machine drops the same day at the same time. You should check him out and possibly get him to build you something. That collaboration would be awesome!

820.69 HP congrats on getting this thing back running it's absolutely sick in motion

Love this truck, was awesome to meet you at WTAC! 826.9HP is my guess

787.3 hp ! So cool to see this car back on the road!

Gotta be around 744hp, so I'm happy to see you get this back on the road!

814.7 HP, love this truck!

love the build ! Gives me inspiration for my 37 GMC truck build .. My power will be from an LS .. not even close to your power .. but my guess would be 755 .. hope you don't hurt that motor .. cheers

804.6HP and I'm pumped to see you let that monster eat those tires up!!

776.4 HP Love seeing it back on the road!

You should definitely be proud of that 1/2 mile mate 👌

712 whp is my guess. I guess I’m a nerd too as the detail stuff is why I follow your builds my guy! Great job, 1/4 mile, 100 feet, doesn’t matter - you should be proud.

That car is bananas dude.
