these video,s bring back a ton of memories, mostly related ,expensive, learning experiences, learning about incompetent or crooked machine shops , and learning that 90% OF MAGAZINE ARTICLES ARE DESIGNED TO SELL COMPONENTS, NOT TELL YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT WAS BUILT OR THE REAL RESULTS THEY ACTUALLY GOT, ON THE DYNO!
some fun times and a steep learning curve, and eventually a couple 10 second cars back when that was kick butt fast in the 1970s.
I built this site as a response too numerous and nearly constant requests for access too the extensive list tips, info I have acquired over decades of building and racing performance muscle cars and engines, by the guys I've built engines for and from sites I've posted answers to questions on,so look around, and if you can add to the good info please do so!
having done some similar projects, totally rebuilding a car and doing engine swaps, repairing and modifying body work and replacing the suspension and exhaust and I know the time and effort required is amazing and just the small parts tools required, the welding skills, trips to get supplies, and time spent looking for the harder to find parts and waiting on simple stuff like getting the correct welding rods and shield gas, sand paper, paint,fasteners,solvents disposable bits, nozzles , brushes and hydraulic fittings, and mask filters tape, adds up far faster than those of us that have not done this type of work could ever understand, then theres always the minor screw-ups that need to be corrected,and the time spent looking for the small part or supplies you purchased two months ago On sale for 1/2 price, you bought in bulk that you can,t locate until the day after you give up looking for them, and buy more! and the people that drop by with projects you really can,t avoid that screw up your (free time)
on the PLUS SIDE, if your a tool junkie like I am theres always an endless list of new or better, tools you can easily justify buying... just no cash to do so!
