It’s amazing how you juggle life,work,racing and RUclips, it’s great how you find time to share these amazing projects with us. Watching your videos always makes me appreciate what a talented group of guys you’ve assembled for your shop, that speaks volumes about your leadership skills. 👍
I enjoy being in your shop observing and not getting in anyone's way. The planning and forethought for every piece of the overall project is shown, you all take pride in your work. Keep up the great work and thanks for the videos.
Thanks for all you do and show us Kevin. It’s nice to see the skills of Ricky and other members of your team in action! Really great mentors create really skilled craftsmen.
What a GREAT video Kevin, so great to see your business booming! You take care of your kids first and the business seconds and fit the videos where you can. We'll be waiting for them as they come. I think it is so cool that you have an excellent young man in Ricky, where he is an apprentice learning from the best mentor/journeyman, you, as well as Eddie for his career. By the time he is your age he will be one of the best race car builders in the industry. I've been admiring the NOVA in the background for a long time now, and knowing it's coming together fast now, and that Ricky has been doing it is very exciting! Excellent stuff!
Enjoy your content Kevin, it adds all the dimensions to the series. Steve Morris, Cleet, Sick Week, World Cup all of the above. Keep it coming brother!
Fun Fact, I started watching Cleetus back a few years ago, back when he was in his old shop, before the jet powered kick he had. I started watching you when you built Mullet. Then I seen Steve Morris on his channel and it blew my mind. Steve had his fist machine shop where I live in Michigan about 40-45 minutes from where he is now. A friend of mine worked for him a couple years or so after that. When he moved to a different building. We all went to lunch a few times. This was back in the late 80's early/mid 90's.
A wind tunnel would be awesome to test, I believe Cleetus just took the new Leroy body to A2 in Mooresville, on his way to World Cup. The drag numbers they got were astounding... the new body reduces horsepower loss due to drag a few hundred. He did a video on it on his channel.
If that’s the engine for Val’s Camaro,According to Steve’s video yesterday, it’s 540 in.³ that was the engine that was in mullet or is he calls it the scratch and dent version of the exact same motor that’s in the wagon. If not,knowing Steve it could be anything short of a tractor pulling behemoth!
Gotta keep the real money coming in. We all understand the juggling that you have been doing. Sacrifice a few videos and get a win at the Freedom Factory. Win with KSR!
Kevin! Again! There is ABSOLUTELY. ZERO. NADDA. need to apologize for what you do. Work piling up is only a good reminder of the quality of work you and your shop turns out! If videos lack so be it, we will all be here to watch them as they come! Keep it up Kevin and the whole KSR crew!
Love the content and technical stuff in your videos but appreciate youtube is a side to work and life, as I watch it from the UK and acknowledge unlikely to put money direct into you business with parts and stuff👍
Hey you said something about when using a aftermarket trans you can solid mount it but not with a factory trans case why is that ????? Is it because it's weaker ????
Yes they are countersunk. I use them for mock up to center the holes perfectly so when I weld they don’t pull or move off center. It makes it have a perfect fit for the bolts every time. We’ll use hex head grade 8 bolts for final install
The business comes first we will be here for the RUclips part 🇺🇸
You're doing a great job mate. Make sure you look after yourself mentally. Stress is always awful. We, as busy Dad's, know how you feel.
It was nice to see a little more of Ricky showing his car-building skills.
Good to see Ricky at work. He's often to be seen in the background beavering away, while Eddie puts his feet up. 😉😂
Business first and life. We will be here for you tube when time permits. Thanks Kevin.

We understand that the videos aren't the priority. Family and keeping the business going. Enjoy them while you can.
Riiiiiiiiiiicky!!!! HEHEHEHE I always hear Conky when I heard the name 'Ricky'
Nice work again guys. So refreshing to see good workmanship.
Thanks for all you do and show us Kevin. It’s nice to see the skills of Ricky and other members of your team in action! Really great mentors create really skilled craftsmen.

Nice. I'm from Hawaii and I love seeing people show my home some love
Thank you for the video. Nice work Ricky.
Awesome job Kevin and crew, wish I would have made my transmission cross member like that !
Thanks for sharing !
Hell yeah brother
Cool Work Rikki!
I raised 3 kids by myself working 70 hours a week. They played sports and i never missed a sports meet they had.
Awesome video, love the lines of a Nova
Busy busy yes indeed great work Ricky 💯...🙂👍🙏🏁
Great work !

Cool Nova😉
WOOOOO win with KSR!!!
Always enjoyable vids, Kevin
It's so cool how you share these little tricks of the trade in your videos, over the years of watching it really adds up as a watcher.
"At least he's actually DOING something..."
Keep up the good work.
Great content, Kevin...Hopefully you win Le Mullet!
You got a great team Kevin. Good to see you have a Lot of work, so your buisiness gos great. Wisch you all the best. You are for me the CAR GUY ❤
Those racetech seats sure are nice, but damn they are big and a pain to fit.
Busy Busy Busy! Good Shit!
Kevin, as a former small business owner, I know the stress that you are going through. Good luck.
Thanks for the support, appreciate it!
A wind tunnel would be awesome to test, I believe Cleetus just took the new Leroy body to A2 in Mooresville, on his way to World Cup. The drag numbers they got were astounding... the new body reduces horsepower loss due to drag a few hundred. He did a video on it on his channel.
Yes the numbers were amazing!
Now all they have to do is figure out hot make it work
Kevin and crew, y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Peace 🤘 ❤
Awesome work KSR! Love watching a new hot rod being born from KSR and crew! Thanks for the content. Next up SUNDAY, SUNDAY...Cutlass day!!! lol
Sounds like it might be his billet block .
Hell yea...love it! Awesome video! Keep this greatness up!
But remember to give time for yourself
I'm sure you went into it once but where did the Boys come from to help you. Not often 2 young guys in a shop like this
Yeah press fit transmission cross members are a pain the crown vics are like that
Sounds like crunch time at your shop. Keep up the great work, Kevin.
Nova cool guna be a fun ride dune boy's have a great week ok later
Thanks for getting this video out.
Ricky seems to be quite valuable to your company.
Great little crossmember angle flange trick
well i guess i'll see you down at the 2.4h of lemullet since i'm making the 3 hour drive down next week also
18:50 opposing angles makes it stronger
It is mullets old engine the first edition
Nope! That engine is not Val’s SMX.
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 great video. Awesome staff
I’m sure you know there’s a ton of guys out there that are really good and they’ll film and edit all your videos for a percentage of revenue
If that’s the engine for Val’s Camaro,According to Steve’s video yesterday, it’s 540 in.³ that was the engine that was in mullet or is he calls it the scratch and dent version of the exact same motor that’s in the wagon.
If not,knowing Steve it could be anything short of a tractor pulling behemoth!
You need to pay attention to the video. He is working on a ‘drag and drive’ Nova from Hawaii. It is a 427 SML from Morris.
Gotta keep the real money coming in. We all understand the juggling that you have been doing. Sacrifice a few videos and get a win at the Freedom Factory.
Win with KSR!

Damn that's some cool tricks
Awesome video as always Kevin..
Love the content and technical stuff in your videos but appreciate youtube is a side to work and life, as I watch it from the UK and acknowledge unlikely to put money direct into you business with parts and stuff👍
Great content thanks for sharing
Good luck at LeMullets, gonna be a tough one this year...
Have you thought about using camberg joints for the transmission mount
😁👍
Is that nova going to stay up there or go back? Sadly there’s only two drag strips in the whole state. Maybe three if the one on Oahu ever gets built
Ask Cleetus what size the engine is....that's the SMX out of mullet that Steve bought back from him
Sorry I got the builds mixed up
Doing these kind of vids. Is cool for me. Keep em up! …….What’s with the v10?
What island is the car going back too
What brand heads are those and are they offering a small bore as well as big bore?
Val's car to the tree race?
Hey you said something about when using a aftermarket trans you can solid mount it but not with a factory trans case why is that ?????
Is it because it's weaker ????
Lol you like Taylor Ray's line huh?
Call him Billy Hoskins had same problem. Steve has special adpter
You’re going to do what to Ricky @ 11:46 ? Com’on Kev keep it clean mate
Hawaii Hawaii Hawaii I'm doing fine thank you just a little joke
Thanks for liking my comment
Why don't you use hearing protection? When you use angle grinders or other high-noise machines.
Why dont you have a foam mock up block??
😎🤙🦅
What are you going to be doing with a v-10?
Can you hire a videographer to create content and allow you to focus on the builds?
Is the nova getting a full paint, cage powder coat, etc.?
Full paint on the main cage, and we’re powder coat everything we can.
@ cool beans. Keep up the good work
Is he using countersunk bolts on that cross member?
Yes they are countersunk. I use them for mock up to center the holes perfectly so when I weld they don’t pull or move off center. It makes it have a perfect fit for the bolts every time. We’ll use hex head grade 8 bolts for final install
You may want to talk to your local high school counselor to see if there is a kid interested in putting together videos as a work credit deal
😎🤙
Why is the video 1 second Short?
Anyone else get back to back ad's that were skipable after 5 seconds?
Shouldn’t Val’s Camaro come first before you start another car?
I suppose your new to Kevin's channel. He is cloned who can multi-task.
Is this jack stand car
Didn't Hawaii vote Demorat? Take your time Kevin!
See you are not getting much done on the Camaro. ATM i bet you dont get it done and ready for testing in next 60 days.
he literally said he can't do as much youtube because he is busy working on the cars but somehow you understood he didn't get much done?
Keep up the great work but you are a business owner and parent first.
No good posting videos if things aren’t getting done in real life.
Please get new timelapse music. 👉🤯💨
