Really enjoyed that! My Dad built a XY 351 GT Replica and took me to school in it everyday. Hes a boat guy now and sees cars as money pits, but what i would give to build him somthing similar and have him drive it! Memories! Cheers!
She is still looking good Mick. Glad to see you still have it after all this time. Looking forward to seeing the EH as well. Keep up the videos. They are quite entertaining mate.
Nice old FALCON 500 ,with the 408 cubic inches ,yes the Cleveland engine can be tricky to build but once built right, the CLEVELAND can be an incredibly powerful beast of a motor
You a bloody top bloke mate, big ups to your wife for partly making this happen, mad respect 🙏 You got some Primo cars ! Look forward to see you smashing some cans of piss back & working on the cars
Just have to say that at my time of life's end, I won't be digging into any mechanicals on my vehicles... BUT, I have a wonder about them. To hear you speak about this and or that as to the inner-workings is fascinating and your manner of doing so is, well just so laid back and real. Friendly like, as if we're best mates and I'm the lame nutter of the two that knows nothing but always asks my mate, 'WHY' with that quizzical lost look in his eyes.
That one awesome car m8👍 and great explanation of the Rolla rockers even though I only understood half of it lol, the shed set-up is cool and exactly what I need (some hoists) need to start saving lol
Anything steel bumper. It’s a great motto to live by. You do it well. Thanks Mick for another vid filled with great tips tricks and advice. Love all your cars. Keep doing what you are doing. Cheers
Very nice looking ride mate, done a great job with it. That 410ci Clevo will help her get out of her own way, the old 351 doesnt quite cut it these days, lol! My heart definitely lies within the Lion's Den, but there's certainly a special place in the heart for a tidy XY.
Yeah I’d be scared to touch it if it was a JG33 XYGT. I’ve had her since before they were worth $$$ and just like it the way she is. Thanks for watching Leo.
GiDay Mick, i'm a few days late watching the new upload, Falcon Alsome bruz, The XY lives on, looks and sounds awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, keep at it mate, Cheers.
@@backshed5295 yeah mate i found your FB page as well going to follow that so i can keep up. The misso and I enjoy watching the vids. We have similar cars it's great to see not just one brand being loved.
Mate keep watching coz there’s heaps more Comin Fb Holden rat Rod with a 400chev A f100 Barra F350 dual cab rat truck with a 460 big block The big block HQ I call mucus plus all all the ones you’ve seen , eh big block , statesman, white Hq etc etc As ya say cool line up ! More coming!! Thanks for watching Robert.🍺👍
Thanks for the garage and hoist dimensions. I am in the process of getting my garage approved and it is 7.5 deep with similar height. I still haven't decided whether a 2 post hoist or 4 post storage ramp is the best way to go as I will be stacking and storing 2 cars 90% of the time.
Yeah no worries Mark , I did put that in there for that exact reason mate , had a few questions about it in the hoist video so there’s a few of us around tryin to sort out the same stuff buddy. Cheers for watching and message me if ya need more on the dimensions side of things for hoist/shed. 🍺👍
@@backshed5295 when i seen the part of you coming out from SuperCheap i was like whaaa? naaah can't be lol anyway subscribed can't wait to see more of this beast!

Another great video Mick and I really enjoy your wit and explanation of everything great job mate and I'm interested in what you are going to do with Mucus HQ.. Keep it up mate 👍
Jonny Marshall @ Marshall custom cams You could go heaps bigger if you wanted to rev it to 6500 or even 7000 but I’m pretty impressed it made 553hp at only 6000rpm and more importantly big torque very early in the rpm. 🍺🍺👍
While I love your content and dry sense of humour please can you do something with the Bonnet and boot alignment for the XY even though I’m a Holden guy that’s the only thing that lets it down.
Mate thanks for the interest and I’m hearing that more and more , can’t thank you enough for the interest and they are coming shortly mate . Cheers Brad 🍺🍺👍
I have no real preference mate I love both , one day I might put the Top loader back in because we have plenty of other cars with autos . It’s good that you still have your ol girl after such a long time.🍺👍
@@backshed5295 it's not going anywhere dad got it for me when I was 16 for my 1st car was pretty awesome rocking up to high school and doin lunch break runs in the old girl
Mate all I can say it , teach your children well ! Hahahha like the old song. Mate I grew up with these cars and now my little humans are watching and helping .
I don't understand replicas. It isn't and never will be what it purports to be. You've made a great car but displayed it as a GT. And I hate the term "tribute." My thoughts probably come from a mate who is building his 3rd Elanor. And to make that even worse he began with a mint coupe. Having opened my gob there, I do enjoy your show.
I wish we had kept the Falcon nameplate over here. It’s funny how Aussie guys don’t mind a four door hard top. They actually come with lime Gt performance packs over there did they not? They never did that with a f4 door cars in the US. Those were family cars. The muscle cars were always 2 door hard top. I think it’s cool you guys did that though.
I think the market over here just found 4 door more saleable/ practical so if that’s what sold that’s what they produced. We have very few 2 door cars. 🍺👍

Great colour scheme ol mate
Everglade metallic ! I do love it
Love that it's not a GT since it gives you more freedom to tinker

Curious what brand of cam? I'm sort of in same situation 225 3v and single plain manifold but 377 clevo but mines top loader with 3.9 diff

You could go heaps bigger if you wanted to rev it to 6500 or even 7000 but I’m pretty impressed it made 553hp at only 6000rpm and more importantly big torque very early in the rpm.
