Thanks Jack, I have my T-shirt. It will go straight to the Pool Room.
Good stuff, cheers!
That old Castrol cabinet is cool. Oh the cars too I suppose haha
Hahaha cheers!!
Thanks for the update.
No worries, Cheers!!!
Man I know you were young but a restored ve to full black jacks!!! Remember meeting you when I was 9!!! You were a hero to me as a kid. Love growing up as you grow up aswell !!!
Cheers!!
I guess you wouldn't expect anything different to be on the latest T Shirt.....Larry being Larry, with no filters. Definitely cool and should be a hit with those who get to wear it. I would have included a "thought bubble" with Gregg Hansford saying....".your mother should wash your mouth out Larry". Keep up the great work Jack, always enjoy your videos.
Cheers!!
Hello Jack & co
My tshirt arrived today . Cool as. No mucking from your end obviously. I bought 2 so I have one to wear when living day to day mowing the lawn etc, another one to go on the wall.
As a business owner with my Mrs we enjoy high standards like LP has obviously pumped into you.
A thought of mine while admiring the whole story of LP etc.
Would you consider a story or 2 of chapters about pushing shit up hill and the character building that comes with it. No doubt the story of Legend Larry has some bumps in the road.
Cheers for all the chapters you are sharing.
Cheers for the message and glad to hear your order arrived quickly.
Yeah there's really enough content from Dad's life and career for a decent book, but he's never been that keen on that. Thanks for sharing the ideas, will definitely work on something moving forward.
Good stuff.
Thanks!
Thanks mate
Cheers!
Great to see LP & the number 11 on track and rebuilt. Tell LP that I still appreciate him checking out a Nissan / UD truck block for me back in the mid 80's. From NZ hello LP
Cheers!!!
Wonderful work guys love seeing these old cars come back to life and seeing the old retro livery's
Cheers!
Good work Jack keeping the old car alive great era of racing.
Thanks 👍
Fantastic work Jack and crew. Those cars look magnificent! And that Castrol work bench! Loved seeing LP behind the wheel of the VP.
Thanks 👍
larry at the mountain of madness was so memorable
Cheers!
Jack ,do have tours,though the joint
Negative not at this stage
Remember Larry was doing that bulldozer in the early episodes that had the 'pony engine'? How's that coming along?
On a side note, ever thought about showing of Larry's tractor collection? Love to see that and maybe when one of those gets earmarked for restoration please take take us on the ride :)
Yes we are hoping to catch up on some of LP's projects in the coming months!
Off topic but nice work at Bathurst in the #9 Jack. 👍
Thanks! 👍
Awesome work Mate LP should and would be proud as punch of your efforts 🤙🤙
is
Cheers!
Thanks from England.
You’re welcome, Cheers!
As soon as I saw that T-shirt I knew I had to get one. But all the sizes under XL are sold out. Are you going to do anymore?
They move quickly! We may look to do more in the future yep.
Good stuff! Thanks Jack!
Cheers!
Jack what spec were the Chevy engines in 94? Something like an iron block with a 4" bore and 18 or 23deg heads? Maybe even SB2.2? (94 might be a bit early for these?) Did the block and heads have to be OE GM?
Yes, 182 Chev block, 18 degree heads. They used this configuration right up until 2003 when the Holden Motorsport Engine came into play with a different block and heads.
@@perkinsengineering thanks for taking the time to reply Jack.
Given dads reflexes and health , age ( & natural mental capacity etc ) he'd make for an interesting sport's science experiment being tested whilst driving various race cars on track against a younger driver , all you need is a younger driver ( if you know one 😉 ) & Phillip Island
Monash University may have someone interested in such a study as this.
Yeah that would be cool. They did something similar with Dad and a young Paul Romano on the 1995 Bathurst telecast.
G'day Jack,
The Bathurst winning car you've just completed, have you got any footage/pictures of when you purchased it back. I think you said 2016.
Keep up the great work.
✌️ Peace
Yes there’s lots on our Facebook page in a photo album dedicated to the car “PE 017”
@@perkinsengineering
Thanks man ✌️
Love the livery on this #22 car
I agree, cool looking car
Hi Jack. What is the go with the hoist? I remember you saying in a previous video that Perkin's Engineering never used them, only the hydraulic jacks with risers. Thanks for sharing Jack and I really like how the Walkinshaw car has the dat glow orange on it reminiscent of the Bathurst winning 84 Commodore.
Correct PE never had hoists but when I set up the new workshop I decided I’d get one! The air jacks aren’t hydraulic too they’re pneumatic 👍👍 love the Fluro
Awesome tshirt jack I’m so glad that I’ve ordered that and your Gold Coast win shirt that I didn’t expect to find and is the 1994 car not actually owned by you guys does someone else own it
Cheers for the support. Yes 1994 car has always been owned by a customer.
@@perkinsengineering oh righto thanks
A really nice tidy looking workshop there Jack, bet LP could mess it up a bit when he's getting "full hands on" with the spanners. Ironic, '93 win with LP's own improved Aussie V8. '94 big Chevy V8 third place, they "hobbled" the horse (power).
Cheers!!!
Subscribed from SA. That said the 2023 "great race" was the first one I've never watched in over 50 years. Then again it all fell apart late 90's anyway with the BOGAN V8 Supercars nonsense and simply turned into a marketing and advertising billboard show. Very sad how it's turned out. Cheers!@@perkinsengineering
Love the vids thanks for posting, just had a random thought, how easy is it to get tyres for the cars? I assume they aren't just off the shelf type things really maybe? Cheers.
Yes not easy but Dunlop did a run of 17” hard tyres for people like us so that’s handy!
Im buying one of those T-Shirts asap
Legend, Cheers!
Jack, can you make that shirt into a poster?? Perhaps even get a few signed by yourself or LP? Pretty please!
We’ll see what we can do!
I would love the new t shirt but you don't list a 7xl.
Yes the highest is 5XL
@@perkinsengineering thanks.
Question was a Window Net in this 1994 car? Nice to see how car coming
Negative. Window nets didn’t come in until around 2000
What???? You selling the 93 car. Thought that would be something you'd keep.
Not sure where that’s said or written?
At 5:12 when Jack said 'Be sad to see them go'. I think you're meaning when the 94 car return to its customer is more the point. Not selling the 93, but just doesn't have a room mate anymore. Is that correct Jack?
Hey mate, are you running anything for Historic Sandown in a couple weeks?
No not at this stage, Cheers!!!
It's all over champ! “The existing uses of the Sandown Racecourse will remain as is for the foreseeable future. Horseracing will continue and the Supercars remain on periodical contracts for their meetings.” However, any redevelopment is still far from a certainty and would take a considerable period of time to achieve. Goodnight another legendary motorsport race track.@@perkinsengineering
Why are you selling 017? I thought of all old PE cars you've restored that would be the one you'd keep 🤔 are you holding onto any of them permanently?
Money talks I guess?
Where does it say that? We don’t own all the cars we restore so we can’t keep them all!!
Brilliant as ever Jack. Quick question - do you own the #22 Perkins/Courtney car?
Yes sir
Amazing. Congrats!
Great update Jack. Will the Bathurst winning VP go or is it staying? I hope to see it stay in your possession
It's currently in a museum, cheers
Why not enter the VF in the Adelaide motorsport Festival?
We might 👍
Jack, probs been asked before but what is the proper name for the momo steering wheels on the VP’ and the VR if you know off the top of your head. I remember seeing a video of you talking about them but can’t remember which one. If someone has a link could you send it cheers.
I don’t think there is a proper name! They are just a round Momo wheel with a larger circumference. Episode 33 is the steering wheel one 👍
@@perkinsengineering thanks I knew the episode was there somewhere. It looks like a mod78 wheel. I may be wrong looks very similar though
That t shirt
Cool hey!
@@perkinsengineering I'm compiling a list for Christmas
Thanks for the update Jack. What happened to the 97 Bathurst winning car ?
It was restored 20 years ago and is now owned by a private collector and it sits in the Bathurst museum today
Where is the 93 beast going Jack?
It’s in a museum at the moment 👍
@perkinsengineering Thanks for the reply Jack.👍
I thought the 93 car was car owned by you guys. Is it being sold off?
Me too, the 94 car was a customers?
Where does it say that?
Correct the 1994 car is owned by a private collector
😜👍🇦🇺
