The scarry thing is hoovie probably gets a 30% discount so anyone else would pay 13-15k at a shop. This is why I’ve always learned to work on my own shit. ALWAYS. Id have the machine shop replace all my bearings and assemble everything else myself plus that’s content idk maybe hoovie is out making his real money off his appearances and acting jobs..

    TRUE STORY: A year or so ago I was driving home from work when the guy in front of me, very gently and very slowly, drove off the right hand side of the road at highway speed and without any brakes drove down into the culvert and then, yes, just like you stated, he "Dukes of Hazzard'ed" it off the edge of someone's driveway and launched his Buick a good 20+ feet into the air before tumbling three or four times, landing on his roof. All because he fell asleep at the wheel. So, yes, people do actually hit driveways edge-on via the ditch. EDIT: Being the first one on the scene, I found him uninjured hanging from his seatbelt. He released it (against my recommendations) and fell head first into all the broken glass. But he was panicking so... He was also too large to fit out the now squished side windows. After confirming he wasn't injured I pulled him out by his feet. He was a BIG boy. He sat against a tree while we waited for 911 to respond. He said he had fallen asleep. I have video of our conversation and the wreckage after the accident.

      That's a good way to frame this, especially on a car that is either going to be a well-kept example with a huge price premium, or abused with issues. Ngl, compared to labor rates on the west coast, $10k for all of that doesn't really sound like a lot (I'm assuming parts are included in that 10k).

      @@mromatic17 Agreed. If it still bites, the faces aren't chewed up (much), and the pedal feel is good, why replace it? It will need replacement at some point, but that's always the case with a clutch. If you don't yolo all the time, I'm sure it's fine for a while. If it survived the previous owner, I'm sure Tyler isn't going to kill it and the next owner won't have a bad surprise (Tyler is good at disclosing "issues" so it's not like he's going to be selling a lemon). That car will never be mint so why make everything perfect? That's a bad plan.

    Beautiful house Tyler!! I've been collecting old pictures of my mother's childhood home and homestead from the 1940's in Campbell Missouri from relatives and got a copy of the original blueprints of the remodel adding a bathroom on the main floor from the 1930's. It is my desire to rebuild the house as it was in 1955 when my parents graduated from high school. My grandparents raised 9 children in that house from the late 30's till the late 70's when my grandfather passed and the house was too big for my grandmother to keep up. My grandfather's family had a old groceries and sundries outpost in Campbell Mo. from the late 1870's until the 1970's when my grandfather passed. Got lots of pictures of the store and maybe one day I can open a store like it and operate it in my retirement..

    • @lcloutier1000
      @lcloutier1000 3 месяца назад

      The gap is technically public land. Depending on jurisdiction, a corridor of about 1 to 3 feet off the road or sidewalk is part of either the city public right of way, or utility easement, so the municipality can dictate the surface material and prohibit temporary structures if there is another access point to the property.
      He moved the main entrance of the property, and needed to get approval for the new culvert because they're illegal to build without such permit. Reenforced concrete is actually the 'best' building material you can get, so he surely was easily approved. The problem is that citizens complained about potential road safety issues after it was built. Even if the county had built it themselves (using the owner's money), the owner would still have had to pay to make those changes as long as they were based upon already existing laws. The culvert would've had to be covered in earth on the sides anyway, what they did is forced it (and the drain pipe) to be extended with a lot of earth into some kind of mound.
      Someone in the area is definitely not happy Hoovie moved in.

    Tyler, you have 10+ vehicles that could EASILY go over that step in the driveway. The suburban, the limo van, etc etc. ALL of which need to be driven.
    Tell your concrete/contractor to get off his ass and get the problem fixed for the driveway NOW! You should not have to traverse the berm in4WD stuff to get in and out of your home because of his horseshit.
    As for the Hellcat engine, get it built into a stroker. Get a bigger camshaft for it as well. Probably the same cost as a stock cam or barely more. And go ahead and send in the clutch to McLeod. Let themgive it a once over and a cleaning before putting it back in. You will NOT regret it. Those cars are a LOT of fun when they are done right and worth WAY more than a "good" example. Especially with a freshly rebuilt engine that has been rebuilt into a performance powerhouse that could easily surpass 1000 HP.

I wonder if a permit is required for this kind of work and if one was pulled (no idea what the local/state laws for this would be). Fingers crossed everything else Hoovie has done has been done correctly to code with proper permits and this goof didn't just throw up a bunch of red flags for the county to start poking at the rest of his home reno.

      @@mattd1755, if the previous owner is young and a ‘get me done’ on the paper it’s very possible he drove the stuffing out of it, without doing the proper maintenance, before it could be repo’d.
      As cars rise in age and fall in value they’re bought by younger and poorer guys who cannot afford the maintenance costs.

    Right thing to do for a hellcat. Now you're breakeven keep it or just cash out 32K. They always should be brought up to spec if they are rare and worth saving.

      he doesn't even need to do that. His suburban or the van would make it across without any issue at all. Hell, my 2018 F-150 would make it across just fine. Maybe he will buy that!!

    Nice example is a nice example when You are about to buy it. If it was neglected, it will look the same in a week. Rebuilt one is fresh after the rebuilt, and it was less than having to rebuilt the "nice one" soon after purchase.
    Have that in mind..
