    Big kudos to you for spending time with your family and "keeping (your) head in check", as way too many of us forget how important those things are.

    About the throttle body orientation, the motor shaft hole should not be pointing at the bottom according to Bosch moisture can seep to the motor.

    8:49 Tape up the lid lip/ridge so paint doesn't glue the lid shut. Then tape a big V across the open area of the paint can so it pours out through a narrow area.

Big hand for keeping the time for your family- too many content creators have fallen to the "Toober's Disease" and it has cost them families and more; Don't be that guy! You may only get one chance to see your kids do something really awesome- don't miss out.

    "Up in the air" is when your build is in between streetcar or racecar.
    I built my car for 70% track use and 30% street duties, but in reality it spends 97% of it's time on axle stands.

  • @shanedale6090
    @shanedale6090 4 месяца назад +1

    Woody, if you do end up putting the handbrake between the seat and door, find a HQ-HZ/WB lever as once pulled up it will drop back down so you wont smack/dig your leg into it while getting in/out of the car

    Hey Woody you can get r31 skyline rear callipers and they bolt straight on with a holden disc and the handbrake then works the disc not the drum..

  • @ae86rally
    @ae86rally 4 месяца назад

    I had a single piece tailshaft in one of my Commodores and the factory handbrake cables used to hit it at the adjuster as they were designed to clear the 2 piece which sat higher than the one piece did where the rear section of cable connected.
    I also bolt the motor, gearbox, steering rack and crossmember (K-Frame) together and drop the car onto them. it allowed me to fit the power steering and extractors (pacemakers for 355 stroker are bigger) as they are an absolute pain to fit once the motor is in.

    • @michaelshannon4138
      @michaelshannon4138 4 месяца назад

      No the pressed steel axle retainers. Just the factory f truck ones. I just drilled a hole in the plate to suit the pin. Was able to use the vr pins. Think I just had to squish the u clip in a little.
