      Al said in a previous show that they basically don't charge their mates for these builds, mates supply the cars and the parts, they do the work, RUclips pays the bills. Sweet formula! Builds can take years to fit in with Al and Woody's schedule which is the tradeoff.

    • @ryanworkman5229
      @ryanworkman5229 2 года назад +5

      The very early Australian Falcons were somewhat braced RHD versions of the North American Falcons, and gradually got more local content until the 1972 XA model which was the first that did not look like an American model with different front and rear. The floorpan and underbody didn't change much right through to 1987. Assuming your Fairlane shares suspension with the Falcon, it probably is pretty much the same, but the Aussie stuff is probably a little more heavy duty.

And something tells me a xd xe wagon isn't worth much and I've literally seen old cars sit on the market for 4 years because they have a ridiculous price tag of 30 or 40 grand when people can buy a new car for that.

    Keeping the exhaust tip under the car isn't really good idea. Gasses won't get out of there as easily as you think, and can get into the cabin, witch may lead to not so good driving experiences and health.
    I recommend to lead the tip out from under the car.
