    I really hope to see this thing finished one day, I come looking for it about every 6 months or so to se if there are any new videos. This is probably the coolest build ever I wish someone would put the money into having you finish it

    @martinrodger9565 5 лет назад

    Tom is a true master craftsman. So so many details and so much that is not in the video. And then all the extra that goes into the easier parts for tom such as the engine and ancillaries which he has decades of development in. This means on top of all the nutty midships awd craziness there will be a minted 2500hp that idles as a street car should with vacuum, with octane on demand etc. All the little points that make this one of the landmark builds.
    Fair play to the new customer to have the balls to invest in this! Thank you for letting us see what Tom and his great team can do.

    Super insane build and I'm really excited to see it progress.
    One question. And not hating because obviously u guys are smarter than me with this stuff. Why do a powerglide? If this is a street car and a hot rod, would seem a more modern transmission with more gears would be a better fit. Is it strictly power handling capability?
    This is how my very basic brain works lol. Hopefully this question warrants a response. Keep up the awesome work

    • @grabasandwich
      @grabasandwich 5 лет назад +2

      I could be wrong, but with the t-case having OD, you could probably make it act like a 4 speed (1st, 1st OD, 2nd, 2nd OD) but the way Tom put it, they'll use it like a 3 spd (OD in 2nd only) Also assuming they'll use a lockup TC.

Keep on truckin' and congrats to the new owner for going w/ the flow on the build.

    Out cruising back in the '80s, we pulled alongside a '64 GTO (as I recall). The windows were blacked out and the guy in the backseat rolled down his window. It turned out that he was the driver, driving it from the backseat. The car was designed by his dad (who was an engineer). The engine was placed in the center of the car to achieve perfect balance. He got killed in it not long after. It turned out, having the engine in the passenger compartment was a hazard. Tragic but cool.

    Evertime I see a mad lad custom. I say to myself. Surely the next one won't blow my mind. Then this build shows in my recommended. Just holy cow! I can't even describe my actual amazement level.
    Although my customization level is only about one level below you guys. One time I adjusted the air pressure in a set of go cart tires. I am currently writing an autobiography about this and trying to sell the screen rights for the upcoming movie.

    Sorry, just a nit comment here, though. It looked like you started|finished the weld on the out facing (visible) side. It would have been a touch cleaner to finish on the block facing side ... in my opinion.....I probably shouldn’t have said anything, but from your previous work, you are a perfectionist. I love it all. Thanks for sharing and can’t wait to see it rollin’.

      @QuantumPlaysOfficial 5 лет назад

      For those who want to know my dream car.
      Dodge Aspen wagon with twin turbo hellcat motor. Manual transmission. Stick shift and paddle shifters incase if I want to use either one. 4WD so I can do burnouts and drift and be able to daily during winter. I also want it to be a hybrid. So I could get really good gas mileage whilst being eco friendly. Double wishbone suspension for all wheels. Carbon ceramic disc brakes. Obviously it would need a roll cage but I want it to be barely visible. Like super snug to the body. And be hidden by interior panels. Custom made race seats to almost blend in with the stock bench seats.
