I am very happy for you and your crew. It is a lot to do when you are getting a car ready to start for the first time after a major repair. The time, money, physical labor and mental fatigue all combine to make your stomach churn. But the excitement hearing it fire off that first time is a special feeling. Those days are long since gone for me, I am very happy that you are taking us along for the ride so to speak.
Welding up your merge in hornadays shop........at the track with lake speed .....you literally barged your way into the world of stock car racing and the love you have for the sport is all it cost you ....the devotion you have towards the history of the sport is incredible and guys appreciate that... because that's they're legacy being preserved... awesome brother...
Good stuff man, love the attention to detail and explanation. This build is gonna be sick! Also big ups for not acting like a typical car channel hypebeast. I appreciate the unforced, down-to-earth narration.
Loved it!! I'm so looking forward to seeing what you do at Ron's shop & whenever you make your 1st laps!! I've really enjoyed watching you build this car & the attention to detail you've put into each & every part of the car!! I'm a firm believer that the more you know about your car the better the car is going to perform!!
Awesome I'll def keep my eyes open for it. Hopefully Flowracing will carry the race. If not hopefully you and Logan will record it for here on your channel. Hammer down and get that WIN!!!
I admire you for this building.. Everything has to built overbuilt, for the power going to all parts of a top notch race car. Being patient and particular will be an advantage when you are on the track with the other racers. I wish you well and hoping you make a tremendous impact when you hit the track 👍🏁🙏❤️
Whoot Whoot!!! You are almost too chill about that start up. 😂 I was more excited when the Kevin Harvick #29 started up when I got to drive it at Texas Motor Speedway. I do get being rendered a bit speechless after a lot of work to get there though. Keep up the good work you 2!!!
Really nice demonstration of Tools and their uses, deburring tool, De pinning tool and Crimping tool. I suppose if I keep watching I’ll get to see some AN wrenches in action.
This is similar going from the v carburetor to the regular carb on an 83 Ltd with all them vacuum lines.i found some of the lines in wrong places and I wondered how it ran & didn't blow up.i figured it out looking at vacuum diagrams in books and got good acceleration and idle after all of that.finding a fuel tank was a challenge too.
@@Stapleton42 oh man i know u gotta be itchin i got goosebumps from that lil blip like u did i cant imagine id be wanting to be out there every day just giving her a quick blip i do it with my Camaro sometimes too
Nothing more exciting and satisfying than firing up engine for 1st time. You have much more self control than me because I would have to rev up engine before turning it off. Great job. Thanks Logan and Mitchell
How did you not lose your mind when it fired? I was giddy for you, man! This series is priceless. I can’t wait to see it done! Side note: I’ve seen pictures of a GNSS lineup and your car is going to be the nicest thing on site by a mile in comparison.
You love the way it should look like it's like looking at art work the way it should be been done so it can be worked on in the future too makes things easier later on and you know what is going on with you're car!!! Great video of your hard work into Your project that means allot to you and it shows in the way you are talking about it and everything you have touched and worked on
I have two sets of boom tubes in the box if you are interested. Also great content in your videos . I enjoy the visits you do, because I go by to the 70's. In my interests of NASCAR. Keep them coming.
Mitch if you and Logan want to see something impressive, next time you go to California go to San Diego and visit Pete Aardema and Kevin Brauns shop. They build land speed cars for bonneville, and they also build engines literally from scratch handmade.
When looks and functionality just come together it's just a good feeling, I've thought before I'm lucky i stubbled on figuring that out, people are gonna think I'm a genius
when im on deutsch duty i will call my self the Deustch bag, the shop im in pronunces it closer to Dutch. oohh math spacing things, but so goddamn worth it, so happy seeing you build shit again! and no, you dont sound stupid, its insightful man.
That was a feel good moment 👍. Now excuse me for saying this, some like it and some don't, but I remember when DW said it the first time; BOOGITY, BOOGITY, BOOGITY, LET'S GO RACING !!!!
excited for you brother. anybody can go buy a car done. the dedication and persistence of building your own shit makes it so much better. and your right about taking the small victories when they come!.
Honestly, I think going with a Mopar powerplant is a smart decision since they are the most durable and reliable in my opinion. Chrysler's greatest strength was in their engine builds and it shows. It's unfortunate that R5P7 isn't a hemi configuration, but it sounds like a beast none the less. :)
Good. Job man overcoming adapt.It provides what I was always told.Have played be in a plane c in the back of your mind.You put those holes in there Now you're gonna use them to mount your lines.So they Are secure 😂
Congratulations! That is a good Rumble Sound. Was Logan there or is she mad ? You have come a long way this this project, I remember the video of loading it up on a trailer. Yep watched this one to the end also, Nice Outro views hanging out with Ron. Best of Luck and Skill Always. ICT in the 704 ! Ya know .
Also for angles on tubing and pipe, the local dude that fabricates a lot of the cages made himself a jig and a hydraulic tubing notcher . Had a foot pump, to pump the hydraulic jack, while he held the tubes. He also made a bender similarly. It cut the tubes at perfect angles and notched sides so the tubes would line up perfectly and hug each other, for clean, strong welds. Those held up and saved lots of folks life and limb, mine and his included. There are probably some for purchase, but this was back before amazon and ebay was much of a.thing.
Dude, I bet this baby was fun to build! And yes, when you build it yourself, you do develop a connection with the car. You also know the car better. So when you're driving it and feeling the car, you know every inch and can tell what it is that you're feeling.
Were you wearing a SPEED shirt in the beginning of the video if yes awsome love RG. Do you have an address I can send you a couple of old but new cup plates.
Great work! When it fired i felt that sense of pride and joy that you felt.i been there and its such a rewarding feeling.the videos are awesome but how do you get guys like doug and ron to come help you? Those are some serious sources to have.
Good question 😂 I do not know why Ron was willing to volunteer his time and shop for that. He put in a lot of work and donated a lot of bolts 😂. I think he’s just a solid dude who likes working on racecars and wants to see racing grow. Helping me helps the bigger picture. At least that’s how I can justify it
Titanium / "lava rock" header wrap, esp a high quality brand, is 90% less itchy. I will never go back to fiberglass wrap after using a high quality product. Makes a world of a difference.
Back when i was 16 or so I wrapped a header in shorts, a t shirt and no gloves. A week later i had the courage to wrap the 2nd header.... With 2 long sleeves, jeans and two pairs of rubber gloves 😂 I will NEVER wrap anything in fiberglass ever again
For your valve cover T: swap the valve covers left to right. That pits the fittings in the back. Then you can run a single hose under the intake and a simple inline bulkhead T fitting. Use a line clamp to hold the T to the valley plate.
Mitch, if you want to duplicate an angle; get yourself a sliding T bevel. Just set it to an angle (or against the piece you already have) and use it as a gauge for the other piece(s).

How can I make these build videos better? Let me know !
New merch on stapletonautoworks.com
Hey Mitchell I'm watching what I missed. There's some great videos on how to use paper and transfer the angles you need to cut on pipe.
The braiding on race car lines suck my man. I was always bleeding working on Barney McRaes car. 😅
Videos are already the best!!!
R07 :P
Been waiting for this one! Love it!
This is dope AF

The look on your face....... priceless. Good job. Its all worth it.
No words needed you did it brother ....congratulations
Thanks a ton

That phrasing was amusing. End of 2021 into 2022 I just barged on in and nobody was ready for it 😂 thanks man. I hope I’m making a difference for good
@@Stapleton42 no doors were harmed
Great videos love the attention to detail
Thank you!
Great job on the build! Cool project, cool story. Glad you let us ride along!
Thanks man!
This is a fantastic build. You are doing a great job.
Thank you!
This is so awesome I love watching how they used to do things
100% take pride in your work i agree
Live the smell of leaded race fuel in the am
Good stuff man, love the attention to detail and explanation. This build is gonna be sick!
Also big ups for not acting like a typical car channel hypebeast. I appreciate the unforced, down-to-earth narration.
Thank you and well said. I’m not an actor and don’t try to be 😂
Loved it!! I'm so looking forward to seeing what you do at Ron's shop & whenever you make your 1st laps!! I've really enjoyed watching you build this car & the attention to detail you've put into each & every part of the car!! I'm a firm believer that the more you know about your car the better the car is going to perform!!
That was an awesome vid! I feel you, building the machine and then racing it gives you a certain connection to it.
I can’t wait to see you on the track racing that thing
Thats awesome Mitchell!
Looking forward to seeing you run it at the track. True pleasure to have met you both at MIS this year.
Thanks Eric!
So when do you plan to get it to a track ?
@@ericthurston1070 September 7th at Tri County is currently scheduled to be my first race with it
Awesome I'll def keep my eyes open for it. Hopefully Flowracing will carry the race. If not hopefully you and Logan will record it for here on your channel. Hammer down and get that WIN!!!

Thank you Mac!
👍🏻😎 I'm loving the attention to detail. 💯
Thank you 🫡
@@Stapleton42 You're welcome.
Dude, I had an Evernham Cup R5 in a street driven 69 Dart in 2012. Awesome engines
When you get this car together, I can’t wait to show up to see it race.
Whoot Whoot!!! You are almost too chill about that start up. 😂 I was more excited when the Kevin Harvick #29 started up when I got to drive it at Texas Motor Speedway. I do get being rendered a bit speechless after a lot of work to get there though. Keep up the good work you 2!!!
Thank you Chad!
Really nice demonstration of Tools and their uses, deburring tool, De pinning tool and Crimping tool. I suppose if I keep watching I’ll get to see some AN wrenches in action.

Greatest satisfaction comes from learning and doing. Bonding between man or woman and machine is real. Keep up the great work.
Be safe and careful take care of yourself and your family and enjoy your weekend!!
Thank you John!
That was awesome cant wait for more and that was such a tease of a fire up 😂
I haven’t heard it fire up since that day either!! You’re telling me 😂
@@Stapleton42 oh man i know u gotta be itchin i got goosebumps from that lil blip like u did i cant imagine id be wanting to be out there every day just giving her a quick blip i do it with my Camaro sometimes too
Can't wait to see u spinning laps..... we want BOOM TUBES.....
You got it!
Nothing more exciting and satisfying than firing up engine for 1st time. You have much more self control than me because I would have to rev up engine before turning it off. Great job. Thanks Logan and Mitchell
First Fire is always SOOOOO good! Congratulations! Hard work and attention to detail paid off. Well done!
I Like Chevrolet Small Block V8 Engine From The 50s 70s 80s And Early 90s In My Opinion Thanks For Uploading
How did you not lose your mind when it fired? I was giddy for you, man! This series is priceless. I can’t wait to see it done!
Side note: I’ve seen pictures of a GNSS lineup and your car is going to be the nicest thing on site by a mile in comparison.
I enjoyed the moment internally 😂 yes I agree there isn’t much focus on the way the car looks in that series currently
You love the way it should look like it's like looking at art work the way it should be been done so it can be worked on in the future too makes things easier later on and you know what is going on with you're car!!! Great video of your hard work into Your project that means allot to you and it shows in the way you are talking about it and everything you have touched and worked on
Thanks man 💪🏻
@Stapleton42 you're truly welcome 🙏 have a wonderful weekend be safe and careful
I will say I have a big Tim Allen from Tool Time grunt when that engine fired up
I have two sets of boom tubes in the box if you are interested. Also great content in your videos . I enjoy the visits you do, because I go by to the 70's. In my interests of NASCAR. Keep them coming.
Yes send me an email mdstapleton42@gmail.com
for your headers and lines. i think it’s a company called Heatshield products in the San Diego area (So.Cal)
You deserved a good pat on the back after the first start! congratulations!
Thank you!
It's coming together great, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Progress is always gratifying, and yes, fiberglass itchies can go SUCK IT!
You really got hornaday helping you? Damn that’s bad ass!!!
congrats, your making good progress. thanks for sharing
absolutely bad ass, been a long time coming and I'm glad to finally hear the mighty x pipe
Your doing a great job one step closer to hitting the Track 👍
Awesome work, I enjoy your videos
Thank you very much!
No better feeling than the first fire up of hot rod. Congrats!
Don't beat yourself up, welding aluminum can be difficult. You're doing a great job!
Always room for improvement I beat myself up every time to make the next one better 😂
Mitchell your doing an awesome job your very talented love your work ethic awesome job congratulations 🏁🏁
Everyone has a method to their madness! Looks good Mitchell!
That was cool!!!!
Thanks Matt!
Great video
Thank you Dennis!
Mitch if you and Logan want to see something impressive, next time you go to California go to San Diego and visit Pete Aardema and Kevin Brauns shop. They build land speed cars for bonneville, and they also build engines literally from scratch handmade.
awesome coming right along great video
When looks and functionality just come together it's just a good feeling, I've thought before I'm lucky i stubbled on figuring that out, people are gonna think I'm a genius
when im on deutsch duty i will call my self the Deustch bag, the shop im in pronunces it closer to Dutch.
oohh math spacing things, but so goddamn worth it, so happy seeing you build shit again!
and no, you dont sound stupid, its insightful man.
Congratulations. Awesome achievement.
That was a feel good moment 👍. Now excuse me for saying this, some like it and some don't, but I remember when DW said it the first time; BOOGITY, BOOGITY, BOOGITY, LET'S GO RACING !!!!
I stayed. :-) I could tell after it started you were like man I would love to take this thing outside. lol
Definitely 😂
excited for you brother. anybody can go buy a car done. the dedication and persistence of building your own shit makes it so much better. and your right about taking the small victories when they come!.
You can wrap the metal braided hoses in painters tape then cut through the tape and the metal fibers won't fly everywhere.
Thats bad azz using the battery leaf blower to pressurize the cell and prime lines.. very nice..
My buddy and I are trying to start our own race team to race at our local short track. Racing a 4 cylinder FWD car
Love those cars better than the ones today. Love the x pipe
Got a love a
“nice slot with rounded ends”😂
Honestly, I think going with a Mopar powerplant is a smart decision since they are the most durable and reliable in my opinion. Chrysler's greatest strength was in their engine builds and it shows. It's unfortunate that R5P7 isn't a hemi configuration, but it sounds like a beast none the less. :)
The racer lineage on this car is cool! Looking forward to seeing it on the track!
Attention to detail is key, great job I know those hoses are a pain 😮 and awesome it runs
Congratulations so happy for you
congrats on gettin it fired up!! cant wait to watch the next one with Hornaday!
Good job brother!
Good luck.
Awsome job Mitchell.
This needs to be seen by more people ! Great job ! Love the videos. All the videos in fact
I agree! Hopefully they’ll find this video with time 😂
Awesomeness 👍 Ron thinks it his seat 🤣
Good.
Job man overcoming adapt.It provides what I was always told.Have played be in a plane c in the back of your mind.You put those holes in there Now you're gonna use them to mount your lines.So they Are secure 😂
When you cut an line wrap the line in black tape and no more frays 🎉
I felt that moment of silence after the start up. That’s that humble pride a gift from God.
Glad you got rid of those redhorse hoses and had some BMRS hoses on it at the end of the video. Great work!
Congratulations! That is a good Rumble Sound. Was Logan there or is she mad ? You have come a long way this this project, I remember the video of loading it up on a trailer. Yep watched this one to the end also, Nice Outro views hanging out with Ron. Best of Luck and Skill Always.
ICT in the 704 ! Ya know .
Great video! I got the chills when it cranked! Great job👍

A driver who knows how their car actually works is most definitely a BETTER DRIVER vs the guy who doesn’t!!
FACTS 🏁
Like a new born crying! Love a first fire up.

I think it was a 1st phorm shirt without actually seeing the video as I type this comment
Thanks for the show, enjoyed it
Our pleasure!
Yes sir! Looks and sounds awesome. So freaking cool!
Great work! When it fired i felt that sense of pride and joy that you felt.i been there and its such a rewarding feeling.the videos are awesome but how do you get guys like doug and ron to come help you? Those are some serious sources to have.

@@Stapleton42 well you have done an awesome jobs with not only the racecar but going back in time with all these guys.keep up the great work!
Put a carb hat on there! I never leave mine open like that. Great video, as always Mitch..
pt. 3 when!!!!
Soon!
great job man. where are you going racing at ? have you driven before?
Great race car. Can the oil filter handle full pressure from the pump? Maybe full pressure to the engine first.
Titanium / "lava rock" header wrap, esp a high quality brand, is 90% less itchy. I will never go back to fiberglass wrap after using a high quality product. Makes a world of a difference.
I agree completely
man this is awesome i can’t wait to see it on the track!
I think it`s "doich" connectors if I`m not mistaken.
put electrical tape around the braided steel line before you cut it if youre using a manual cutter. no more frayed hose.
Back when i was 16 or so I wrapped a header in shorts, a t shirt and no gloves. A week later i had the courage to wrap the 2nd header.... With 2 long sleeves, jeans and two pairs of rubber gloves 😂
I will NEVER wrap anything in fiberglass ever again
