It's hard to tell on video, but if your LED tail light bulbs are coming through a bit on the yellow side, Classic Car LEDs in the UK make really nice warm white bulbs that show a lot more nicely through old style red lenses. Shipping to AU is extremely reasonable, too. I fitted a complete set of their gear to my Valiant years ago, the quality is right up there, and none of them has failed on me or given any trouble. Their switchbacks for incorporating white, amber, or red functions into a single location also work flawlessly.
I would also add to make sure you have a fire extinguisher in your shed. I have dry chem and CO2 for electronic and fuel fires. They are cheap compared to losing your pride and joy!
That chops HARD! Can't wait to hear some supercharger whine at full tilt on the Dyno! 😁 PD: Happy to hear you guys will be at Drag Week (maybe only Al?), but sad at the same time because it won't be with Benny since the Cresta won't be in the states in time for Drag Week 😥
I saw that little burnout at the end. The TOJO Crown lives again. My grandfather bought my then very young Mum a Luxury Crown around 1974 (I was about 4 and am pretty sure it was a V8). She actually refused to take it - afterward he drove it around Parramatta for a while and had a massive prang in it. I Remember it sitting all bent up at the side of his antique shop for a few years and the hang dog look he had when we walked past it. Thanks for bringing back the memories guys
The skid at the end 😲 The crown was one hell of a sleeper. I guess the new iteration hides the monster underneath fairly well, although I can't imagine it will be anywhere near as quiet as the 2J 🤣
Turbo Yoda a Woodrigues are propper mechanics. Just been beaten down to humbleness by many a failure and engine that just won't behave.

My full on favorite car In the states shoehorn a big block in a small engine compartment. Is just nothing that anyone wants to make fit. Solid work men.. Thanks for sharing.

had exactly the same car as a 21 year old and i thought i was the smartest in town when i jammed a 289 Ford Windsor and a top loader under the bonnet ,then this monster turns up and blows it away ,outstanding finish just perfect
@@theskidfactory hey thankyou for the reply ,i had an issue with the oil pick up and engine mounts so i got a fella in Bayswater to help me with the crossmember and sump ,John Taverna ,i worked in a campervan place ,i helped him with fitting out a camper and in trade he got one of hes workers to sort out a few lil things ,sort of a barter deal
Gents loving your work as always! Great to see you putting props out to some QLD businesses! Given me some people to call on! What colour is that?? Looks great with all the chrome.
As always such an amazing build. I think this means a little more to everyone knowing it's yours Al!. Very happy to hear the angry beast come to life. Great filming / editing to just see and hear that making some lumpy revolutions. 👌👌
The cackle from that motor definitely sounds like "a blown, old school, methanol (and) carby engine" and DEFINITELY gives you "street cred"! Sadly, which is arguable, it can, and should, be tuned to run at its best which means no more cackle BUT more power & drivability etc. etc. Great job guys! Thanks for the share.
Damn Al, you have built one hell of a car! It's going to shred tires like no other and hell, I bet you can street or drag race the damn thing! It sounds saucy as hell, Great Job!!

Glad to see that you’re still at it.
Amazing content lately gents! Loving how animated Al has been of late, can't half tell he's enjoying building his own car for once haha.
he'll just sell it after 6 weeks like every other of his personal car builds. I don't think he really enjoys driving cars, just working on them
@@nosebergs-are-at-it-again he wont sell it, too much history and hes had it for so long.
Epic skid at the end, bar is set for the first skid with the new engine
Love this channel. Love Allan and Woody. Can't even remember how long I've been watching this channel since Marty and Moog gave them a leg up.
The sound of it is very much every man's dreams just lumpy and grumpy keep up the great work boys
Lumpy and grumpy. Sorry Justin, I'm using this.

Great tip thanks
That bonnet is freaking amazing. The little things done so well impresses me so much.
Sounds mint boys!
You really aren’t drag-ging your feet if you’ve already started the next build 😉
Hello from Arizona! I been following a couple years, good to see it coming alive.

How come the Cresta won’t be there?

Thumbs up literally first 30 seconds from that sound, looks and sounds the part ! Well done lads !

Gotta love that big block life. The lopey idle and demon sound when you snap the throttle. The supercharger just adds to it.
This has to be the meanest build on the tube at the moment. Love it
Super crisp! I’m pretty sure you won’t be complaining about that exhaust and It’s got to be rowdy to drive
another top notch build!
Bloody awesome! Revs up quick for a big engine! Time for a lemon squash or three!
All thumbs up on this build. Hako was impressive, this even more so.
My new kitten is loving the sound of that motor at idle!
THATS F**king SICK as Bro!!!! Top stuff guys. That Yr 12 Formal is gonna be a special one with this car.

Love the sound Alan sounds like a symphony to power you must be rapped to hear your project running,great work 👍
Wow The paint is majestic sir
Thats the shed skid I remember seeing from many many moons ago! glad the footage is still around!

He was born bald
I felt clever building my Grandson a pneumatic can crush, watching you guys puts me back in my place!
The bonnet looks awesome
Proof Al can do a good skid at the end ❤️
Shoutout for the Wallace placement Woodie! lol
The Crown sounds nice. This is one heck of a build. 👍
There’s only 1 way to describe that intro. That chop is sufficient. Excellent lads great job to you all. Glad to be a Patreon
Glad to hear you're still making it for Drag Week, I'll be looking for you!
Great video as always. Epic skid at the end! Love the Crown, the attention to detail is astonishing. Such a great bonnet, looks amazingly stylish.
I think that end skid brings the vibe to the roots of it all 💯. Mad 🖤 and respect from Texas 🍻💨
That thing sound like a weapon. Can tell it's a motor by Frank. Love ya work fellas. Best channel on the tube
Bonnet is top notch lads!!!
Wikked cruiser
TSF is just going from strength to strength. This car is awesome
That opening is on point. Incredible work
Al your Crown is coming on absolutely beautifully. Looks absolutely stunning and sounding sick as heck . Stunning ride 👍
HAHAHA That timing light mark.... GOLD!!!
that intro was worth the price of admission alone! 😁
Car sounds great and that bonnet bulge just seems to fit perfectly with the shape of the car , all around impressive work !
Oh that sweet,sweet sound 🤘🤘 neighbours love flowers.
Good to hear it running.
You just passed your carpentry apprenticeship...NAILED IT!!!
Wonderfully mad. Top, top stuff
cant wait for the episode of Gussys formal, can only imagine the tunes and editing 🤤
Love that dream realised look on Al's face
Super nice build , I love the combo of big cubes and the latest tech .
Well done to all .
I can listen to that untuned gnarly idle all day! Sounds insane!
This is turning out to be my favorite build yet. Really loving it.
She's a Mean one Chaps. Great job
so 💪 who doesn't love a BBC! what a build! you two do a sick job!

Solid 9.0 on the chop rating.🙌👌
had exactly the same car as a 21 year old and i thought i was the smartest in town when i jammed a 289 Ford Windsor and a top loader under the bonnet ,then this monster turns up and blows it away ,outstanding finish just perfect
I have heard of Windsors going in them, do you remember how the front sump well fitted?
@@theskidfactory hey thankyou for the reply ,i had an issue with the oil pick up and engine mounts so i got a fella in Bayswater to help me with the crossmember and sump ,John Taverna ,i worked in a campervan place ,i helped him with fitting out a camper and in trade he got one of hes workers to sort out a few lil things ,sort of a barter deal
That thing sounds gnarly Al! Congrats - I know you're stoked.
Gents loving your work as always! Great to see you putting props out to some QLD businesses! Given me some people to call on! What colour is that?? Looks great with all the chrome.
Word of 2022 "Hecticness"! Awesome Al.
This is my new favorite build you have done on the channel!
excellent build skids
As always such an amazing build. I think this means a little more to everyone knowing it's yours Al!. Very happy to hear the angry beast come to life.
Great filming / editing to just see and hear that making some lumpy revolutions. 👌👌
Hell Yeah !!!! It sounds sooooooooooooo good. Nothing like a big block chop compared to those odd sounding barras and other import motors.
Love the sound. Magnificent I wouldn’t change the sound at all.
Love the video’s guys! So glad to see Al working on his own car 🙂!
Love the cams
The cackle from that motor definitely sounds like "a blown, old school, methanol (and) carby engine" and DEFINITELY gives you "street cred"!
Sadly, which is arguable, it can, and should, be tuned to run at its best which means no more cackle BUT more power & drivability etc. etc.
Great job guys! Thanks for the share.
Love it...Hook up a "ROMP ROMP" switch after the proper tune I recon.
Best build ever. You have really taken it to the next level with this one. Love the skid factory, even more because your local boys.👍👍
Dashboard keypad looks like something out of 'Knight Rider' 😎👍
Hands down the best sounding engine to ever come out of that shed
What an amazing build. and what a great video. cheers from Estonia.
I've used a no contact thermometer to check head pipes works great.
Amazing build guys! Please don’t change the way to sounds
Looks and sounds brilliant good work guys. I had one slightly off topic question, what is that little black box with the blue lights on your hat ?
That’s a Rode wireless microphone
That sounds so good! Really enjoying this build series
Young(er) Al in the house. What a trooper. 👌🏻
Awsome video Guys. I'm so glad you V8,ed the Crown Al, especially an old school big block. Sounds funkin awesome.
It really is the skid factory!!
Great vid guys, love old school mix with modern tech
Awesome, keep an eye on the belt after the supercharger pulley...looks like it gets pretty loose when reved.
Excellent primer on a new engine start-up.
Damn Al, you have built one hell of a car! It's going to shred tires like no other and hell, I bet you can street or drag race the damn thing! It sounds saucy as hell, Great Job!!
It looks like the Poly-V is "flapping about" so much that it's actually touching itself.
May be something to look at.
What a great car it has become!
Boom kevins comming
Great video thanks ! Congrats on it running.
That bonnet scoop looks perfect !
She sounds bleedly awesome man i cant wait for the dyno video
looks and sounds amazing. great vid guys
That first 30 seconds was pure 🔥
How cool! Well done again al and woody. I hope you put a big block in Kev
Nothing better than watching a pro at work!
Not going to lie, sort of in love with this car 🤣🤣, just ticking all the boxes real right, 🥰
That engine running can be your new intro music, god daaaaaaamn
That engine sounds amazing nice work guys can’t wait too see the next project
Shout out from Iowa!
Love the bonnet.
Done tastefully and well thought out not the generic reverse Cowell crap that most do!
Awesome video as usual! Friendly side note: burning brake cleaner produce poisenous gas so avoid it if possible
Been waiting for the Kevin build
Staying alive with your foot into it is going to be the biggest challenge.
Love the D & B timing mark boys😉.
