Man I was expecting the engine issue to be something silly but in the end it was far from that. The seller absolutely mis-represented what they were selling and you would be well advised to contact the dealer principle at the Ford Dealership (nobody less) explain to him your issue and gently leverage your RUclips following for an amicable solution. Only a foolish business person would tell you to pound sand and if they do then let the Name and Shame game begin because they would have earned it.
As a Ford Master tech myself and prior Ford technical rep I’ve seen the 180 out situation on one bank happen twice from “Ford Technicians” at two different Ford dealers, once on a 5.0 mustang once on a 2.7L. The whole problem resulted from them pulling the engine halfway apart for another repair (usually a cylinder head repair on one side). But when reassembling they did not have it at TDC on cylinder one. Yes the marks all “lined up” once they “finished”, but since the crank makes two rotations for every one rotation of the cams...hence one bank can be 180 off. The fix was to pull all timing chains apart and follow the instructions as if this was a completely disassembled engine to insure no steps were missed and timing was aligned. In your case Mike, if you are 100% certain timing has been corrected, and it still doesn’t sound or run right I would venture to guess something else was changed that isn’t correct for the engine or was set up incorrectly due to the monkeying someone has done to “make it work” for their application. I would look at the crank position signal with an oscilloscope to make sure the pattern is good and timed to the cam signals electronically. Also if the crank trigger wheel has been taken off previously, it could be damaged, have been replaced with the incorrect one, or placed in a magnet tray which demagnetizes it and wipes the polarity of it. I’ve also seen the cam trigger ring be slip rotated a few degrees off. You would need to compare the position of each nub of that trigger to a known good cam. Sorry for the long winded post but hope this helps.
I have a feeling the cams were changed for them to take off and screw up the timing like it was. On second thought, I’d be all over that dealer for a refund because who knows what else was done with that motor that they are lying to you about. If it’s a local SoCal Dealer I might be able to point you in the right direction to talk to if you don’t make any traction.

@@shawnm696 fantastic knowledge in this comment man! Pumped to learn about the demagnetization issue!! Wouldn't have ever thought about that! *Information logged* thanks again bud!
@@justinoliver1984 it’s been a few years since I have dug into a 5.0L and I don’t recall specifically which type of trigger is used. But generally if there are teeth on the trigger wheel, that kind is usually not affected by an outside magnet. The crank or cam trigger wheels are are smooth around (no teeth) usually contain magnets inside that can be demagnetized when placed by another magnet.
Nice Coverage of how to fuck up a simple job of making a car run . It;s a street motor and should not be that complicated , No wonder why most just KISS and Ls swap .
I mean, I subbed for the Ferrari content. But anyone entitled enough to say they're upset about this brief Model A side quest is just being ridiculous. You do you.
I don't understand how you can be upset at Mike, he is literally giving you crazy and amazing car content, as well as each video being in-depth about every step he takes and why. So what if he doesn't post a ferrari video? He's literally building this crazy Model A, something every car guy DREAMS of. Quit giving Mike flak just because you don't always get what you want.
Ferrari by far my favorite build on RUclips but love every one of your builds, when creative people have the skills to bring their creation to life, I’ll watch every time….
The cam "bearing" cap bolts are torque to yield and one time use only. Since it has been torqued a few times now, it may be worth it to swap out to the ARP version.
Super happy for the Mode A content, on top of it taking a break from a project to focus on another provides perspective, it’s not like the Ferrari is forgotten as I’m sure you’re working through some items in your head while on the Ford. Good luck with the builds.
Thanks for the “sorry not sorry” comment…I think the variety in your projects is one of the things that makes your channel great. As a guy who currently owns an old aircooled VW and a Honda S2000, it’s good to see a little of everything!
The '31 is beautiful. Thanks for being straightforward about the issues with the engine. Dealers will do anything to unload a problem before fixing it themselves.
Mike, anything you make is worth watching. The model A is one of my favorites of your builds but I really enjoy getting to see your process with the Ferrari.
Personally I love the first set of wheels, if I had to choose, but I understand the reasons behind the change so that’s awesome! Keep uo the good work and upload the kind of content you gave us since, because it’s awesome anyway and because you’re doing everything with passion. And we know that passion without patience it’s certain death.
Last 2 and a ½ mins earned my subscription bro... Real talk right there. From one "gear-head" to another, I can COMPLETELY understand & relate! Hell....sometimes stepping away from a build is exactly what needs to happen to get over "those days" that happen. Sometimes the greatest ideas/fabrication happens when coming back in fresh!
I dont mind the switch up between builds. I know how working on one project for a long time without respite can get tedious and monotonous. I just enjoy your style of videos and I watch every one regardless if its a ferarri, e36, or model A, theyre all great. Keep up the good work.
You channel is PERFECT - don't change a thing. We are following you, as much as the projects. Show them all - Model A, BMW, 308 - all of them. Keep going, we're staying!
Yessss!!! Great job making the Friday deadline, even though it was postponed!! 😆🙃 Super Pumped to finally see the Model A moving under it's own power! I was bummed after your last video seeing your Hours of thrashing just to have issues running. I'm sure it feels great to finally have it running, even though it's not 100% yet. Don't worry about the people complaining about not having new 308 content. The waiting on parts struggle is Real, and we feel your pain. People like us building stuff truly understand, and appreciate you being able to make any new content regardless of context. Great job! On a personal note. It''s been a rollercoaster couple months for you, but 2022 is going to be the year. 🤙❤️
Keep up with the awesome content Mike! This is how car channels should be, all different cars & all different budgets. I’m a car guy so enjoy all cars/trucks/vans even motorcycles 😂 The Model A is just mental & I for one am glad that you rebuilt it so quickly so we can all see the end result. Keep doing what you’re doing as I look forward to each video 👍👍👍
Getting 180° off is a common rookie mistake. I almost did the same on my 911 engine 😳. Bummer they weren’t straight up with you. Freaking sick project, man.
What I am most drawn to and inspired by is not a particular project of yours - it's the way you build these projects. No matter if its the Ford or the Ferrari, both are the perfect blend of creativity, lunacy and craftsmanship! (This is probably true for the vast majority of your viewers, btw, don't think otherwise). Whatever this new project you were talking about might be, I'm sure it will have great Style, too! You have my deepest respect and thank you for the awesome content! It's a joy to watch you work. Cheers, Matt
Ferrari build ,BMW E36 build,model a build. Mike haters gonna hate man. The real StanceWorks crew know what's up. Sorry to see your misfortune with the engine. Luckily for us regular viewers it means more RUclips content so I thank you for that Mike
Woah. I think you have some of the best aesthetics in the YT car-build world, no one in their right mind should ever question your taste or mods. Keep on trukin'!
To echo other comments, I'm glad to see you not worrried about putting out something other than Ferrari content, Model A has been f*****g awesome and makes a cool break. If people can't see what's gone into it is what makes the channel what it is, that's their loss not yours. Keep putting out what you're up to, I'll be watching.
Don’t change a thing. I keep coming back because I enjoy your content. Not because of one specific vehicle. Personally, I’m most interested in the Ferrari build, but really enjoyed the camping rig series and the model A and looking forward to the E36 progress, too. Keep doing what you want to do!
All the builds are sick man keep up the good work, everyone complaining are just sad basement dwellers that don't have anything nearly as cool to do in their spare time.
Honestly, I dont care whether it's a k swapped ferrari, or a v8 hot rod, or anything in between. If it's well done, I respect it. Keep doing what you're doing, and dont listen to the haters.
I learned to weld at 13. Rebuilt first engine at 15. Paint at 15. Transmission..toploader I spun the teeth off 2nd gear like corn the cob... then really got busy... I always wondered how you never get burned out, fabbing 8 A-Arms would have done me in. Cam Fazers out of sinc... well that motor would have been on utube 30 yrs from now, motor that I gave up on in 2021. Much respect on keeping a project on schedule
This is killer. Don't worry about the complainers, they aren't building. Side note, I have a 69 Datsun 510 wagon if your looking for another build/content. She needs some ❤
I'm happy that you got the model A running, but in my words, that pos that sold you the motor needs to at least pay for the parts and labor (at a shop rate) that you had to put back in to the motor
Don't listen to the haters, I'm here (probably like most) to watch your skills and builds develop, so hit us with whatever you're doing...V8, Truck, Honda, Ferrari...whatever man, bring it on and keep up the awesome work.
I'm a recent subscriber from the DeBoss Garage cross over and just started looking through your content. This beast, my good sir, is what immediately caught my eye. Am sure the Ferrari project is interesting, and know I'll watch it sooner or later, but this is so freaking cool. 101% fully approved! Seeing this beast rolling down the road must be an absolute mind blower. If people really are crying about not posting XYZ content, well, they could go start their own shop & channel; then they could do whatever they want. FFS, folks.
I like it all! If I'm honest the Ferrari sucked me in, but you, the host has kept me coming back, it's the humble personality that makes this channel what it is, and the content is a close second.
I can’t believe this channel doesn’t have more sub’s. Love the way you operate Mike, along with the way you edit your content. Great work and please keep it up! 👌🏼👌🏼
I was thinking timing but like you i thought "why would that be out?" That's why i thought the injector timing, Great work finding out, Try Kevin at KSR, he will sort that out hes great at the bleep bloop part, love your determination, keep it up.
Man, your videos are awesome! Who could ever be disappointed in anything you're putting out? It doesn't matter what video you post the content is awesome and anyone that has built one project (let alone multiple) would have nothing but respect for what you're doing. Good luck with the seller and hope you have a great thanksgiving
You do you bro, happy to watch any content you throw out man 💥💯builds take time. I've been building mine over a year now still got quite alot to do. Stay blessed 🙌🏽
This is an awesome build! And hopefully, people start understanding that this is after all your channel and ur content that you enjoy putting out there for us to see. Suggestions are good but getting mad at someone for not uploading what YOU want to see is like mailing a news outlet and telling them you didn't enjoy the last program they had and they should change future ones. Good luck with the engine man!
Every time I see this car I remember a sketch I did probably around 10 years ago of a Ford hotrod with legit this grille because I had never seen a hotrod with anything like it. So crazy to see a car have it and how good it looks.
Very happy for the Model A content. It's awesome af, 👌 very sick engine aside. That's BS. Shame on them. As awesome as those 917s are, I prefer the squarer, all claws-out stance of the Montegis. Would be great to see you make the most of that offset blower intake too, something that accentuates it rather than the droopy intake and low mount K&N. Keep up the awesome work!
You put out great content! the Ferrari brought me to your channel, but its your character and content that keeps me watching. Ford, Ferrari , BMW, or whatever it doesn't matter you have a great channel. keep up the great work
Man, you make great content and Its free for me to watch! Model A, Ferrari, BMW E30 it is all good in my book. Don't listen to the whiners. There is a whole world out there that they can go check out. This is your channel, do what you want. If you do it well we will go along for the ride and so far you are doing it well.
Damn, 9 seconds and I'm here 😎. Over here in the UK we would never be allowed to drive a car like the model A on the road, It looks absolutely epic on the new wheels 😎👏
I don't think it would take much for that to be UK road legal. Different tyres, Caterham style mudguards and headlights outside the grill should be ok. However given its age (no MoT) you'd have to get pulled over for any of the things mentioned, and its not like there are loads of police about ;-)
@@alastairbrown9528 not a chance thatd be road legal 'as is' or MOT exempt. To be MOT exempt over here itd need to be registered illegally as a 1931 Ford. To have that on the road here it'd need to be IVA tested and on a Q plate as per most kit cars, and be subject to a yearly MOT test.
@@FoxSpeedshop how would registering it as a '31 Ford be "illegal" when that is literally what the body of the car is, complete with VIN tag? It's not a kit car.
Best builds on youtube ... Cant believe you don't have more subscribers. Only a matter of time! PS - I love seeing 2 builds at opposite ends of the process. It makes the content more interesting. I would keep going with that schedule. Watching builds this meticulous, it is sometimes refreshing to switch it up and watch the close to end product being refined
I’m not just here for the Ferraris with swapped Honda motors. I’m here for all I’ve it. I’m like you my man. I like little bits of everything. And I don’t blame you for having to take a step back. Most of the time the best work comes from well thought out plans. On the subject of your motor that was “new” you should get a full refund cause you were lied to over and over from a sleazy deale! Keep doing what makes you happy mike! Keep posting what you wanna post. Keep working on what you wanna work on and record and post. I know I’ll be watching. 🤘🏽🙌🏾🔥🙏🏽🚙💨🤞🏽🤘🏽
Since the cam is most likely a performance cam, it should come with specs that should tell you the exact opening positions (in crank degrees) of the intake and the exhaust side. All you have to do is degree both cams on each bank for cylinder 1 and 2 with a dial gauge, a magnetic base and a degree wheel and you have your answer. There is not really any other way to do it.
Man, I'm normally not a hot rod/ model A kinda guy, but this looks fantastic. I originally subbed for the Ferrari, but I enjoy whatever content you happen to be making regardless. Much love. Keep it up.
I never judge others people projects... I'm sure you know your decisions but maann those Moteki wheels where breathtaking on model A. And also great work, i really enjoy the progress you make!
dude content is content your edits and video quality are top notch as long as your having fun the core people will watch and support its silly that people really think they have a say in what videos you make especially not understanding that you can create parts out of thin air otherwise we all would be driving race cars everyday things take time ,money ,communication ,and patience
I love the model A and damn that dealershit!!! Jerks!! Also just verbally tell me how the bmw is going and I love that old white bmw and the truck sitting above it. Your builds are sweet and I always look forward to your videos! This was the best Wednesday morning for me in several years just because you posted a video before I was awake. Thank you so much! Keep doing what you are doing and those who are mad at you for whatever reason can just put their own projects up on RUclips and have their own haters
Gotta say - was not expecting a flat 5 spoke wheel, defo preferred the other wheels. but .. it's such a tough looking build it looks great either way .
"Sorry, not sorry"👍 Model A content is great, it's all interesting stuff whichever car you're working on. Unless it's itemised on the bill of sale they cant claim that you were aware of it's condition
I always had more than one project on the go, while you had a break from one new ideas used to pop up in your head ... Just keep doing what you are doing, you have some great content .. 👍🇹🇷👍 That model A looks awesome in motion .. If you are having timing issues just check timing chain length and age .. Cheers
I hope the engine issues are going to get solved and the seller will come forward with a reasonable solution. Started following this channel with this build, Ferrari is just the cherry on top of the cake atm, but I am sure the next build is going to be worth watching as well.
Watching here in Australia when you first built the model A I decided to do a rod the same but a Willy's pickup cab and ford turbo barra it's all running now keep up the great work 👍
I came to your channel for the Ferrari, but I have stayed (and liked every video) because of your style. Keep up the the great work Mike, I love the model A and can’t wait for a new project (any hints???)
I guess you found some good luck in all of your bad luck with the shoot being pushed back. Gives you some time to rest and reset and get the beast of the Model A ready to go! It sucks that the dealership was shady and didn't disclose all of the information in order to bait you into a sale. I really hope you're able to get some compensation for their scam, especially with how much you've spent even just diagnosing the problem itself. Don't worry about a stagnation in the Ferrari content for now. It is what originally brought me to the channel (I read an article someone wrote back in January on it and then it took me a bit to get to the first video on it in my watch later list lol), but honestly I'm just here for the build videos in general at this point. You show the good and the bad during the process of a build and I for one really appreciate that because it's the real experience of working on something. Keep up the good work man, and have a happy Thanksgiving!
I admit I don't care much for the BMW, it's a bit too *normal*. But the Ford is absolute beast, easily one of the coolest project I've ever seen. I love it and episodes dedicated to it almost as much as the Ferrari.
Love all your builds , would love to see that truck in the background turned into a four wheel drive off road beast or a similar project taken on by you 💪
In the industry I'm in, people are also reluctant to shame bad business people/practices/techniques. And IMO it really should be done more often...as long as you can prove it. To save other people from being taken advantage of. Thus why I prefer to communicate by email and text and I keep copies of everything. Hope you get it sorted.
All I can say is I will watch whatever car content you produce. I'm really looking forward to your next project - whatever it might be. It will be a good build. Any updates on your BMW?
While you're ironing out the engine issues on the 31, maybe put a couple mufflers on it. Most people will appreciate a car with a good sounding exhaust-very few appreciate an open exhaust like that.
Fundamentally this is your channel. Put up the material you want. Those that dig it will stick around ,those that don’t won’t. No great loss. 👍
This. Love the content and perspective, keep it coming! Thank you!
100%^^^
totally. you spend a good chunk of every ep apologising. superfluous, dude; we dig your content
Facts!!
100% this! Loving model A, E36, pickup, Chloe content... Excellent channel, love the variety!

If people really are crying about not posting XYZ content, well, they could go start their own shop & channel; then they could do whatever they want. FFS, folks.
Mike your Model A is the sole reason I fell in love with Model A's. It is by far the coolest hot rod ever. Incredible work!
I like it all! If I'm honest the Ferrari sucked me in, but you, the host has kept me coming back, it's the humble personality that makes this channel what it is, and the content is a close second.
I can’t believe this channel doesn’t have more sub’s. Love the way you operate Mike, along with the way you edit your content. Great work and please keep it up! 👌🏼👌🏼
I was thinking timing but like you i thought "why would that be out?" That's why i thought the injector timing, Great work finding out, Try Kevin at KSR, he will sort that out hes great at the bleep bloop part, love your determination, keep it up.
Man, your videos are awesome! Who could ever be disappointed in anything you're putting out? It doesn't matter what video you post the content is awesome and anyone that has built one project (let alone multiple) would have nothing but respect for what you're doing. Good luck with the seller and hope you have a great thanksgiving
You do you bro, happy to watch any content you throw out man 💥💯builds take time. I've been building mine over a year now still got quite alot to do. Stay blessed 🙌🏽
Love seeing Model A videos in addition to the Ferrari videos. Can't believe people actually get upset when the free content isn't to their liking.
Love the Ferrari content, like the M-A content, and I wouldn’t mind if you threw in some of your BMW build.
Love all of the projects!!! Keep up the good work!!
This is an awesome build! And hopefully, people start understanding that this is after all your channel and ur content that you enjoy putting out there for us to see. Suggestions are good but getting mad at someone for not uploading what YOU want to see is like mailing a news outlet and telling them you didn't enjoy the last program they had and they should change future ones. Good luck with the engine man!
Every time I see this car I remember a sketch I did probably around 10 years ago of a Ford hotrod with legit this grille because I had never seen a hotrod with anything like it. So crazy to see a car have it and how good it looks.
My guy. Always with the correct approach to things and the best content on the raddest Shit. 👌🏼💯
This was excellent. I was blown away by how good this baby looks. WOW! I have to say, the slicks look heaps better... menacing.
Love the centre locks on the wheels looks great on those wheels
Very happy for the Model A content. It's awesome af, 👌 very sick engine aside. That's BS. Shame on them. As awesome as those 917s are, I prefer the squarer, all claws-out stance of the Montegis.
Would be great to see you make the most of that offset blower intake too, something that accentuates it rather than the droopy intake and low mount K&N. Keep up the awesome work!
OMG. Your Model A is one of the most beautiful vehicles I've seen before. Just gorgeous.
Crazy background… that 308 and model A are a pretty rare sight in the same shot. Just proves the skills.
Keep doing what you are. Love the extra content. 💕
I'm building a boosted d16 del sol and I also have a 1931 chevy with a 400 sbc so I definitely appreciate jumping around on projects ;)
You put out great content! the Ferrari brought me to your channel, but its your character and content that keeps me watching. Ford, Ferrari , BMW, or whatever it doesn't matter you have a great channel. keep up the great work
Man, you make great content and Its free for me to watch! Model A, Ferrari, BMW E30 it is all good in my book. Don't listen to the whiners. There is a whole world out there that they can go check out. This is your channel, do what you want. If you do it well we will go along for the ride and so far you are doing it well.
Damn, 9 seconds and I'm here 😎. Over here in the UK we would never be allowed to drive a car like the model A on the road, It looks absolutely epic on the new wheels 😎👏
I don't think it would take much for that to be UK road legal. Different tyres, Caterham style mudguards and headlights outside the grill should be ok. However given its age (no MoT) you'd have to get pulled over for any of the things mentioned, and its not like there are loads of police about ;-)
@@alastairbrown9528 ran a '32 3 window with a blown small block, no front fenders or hood and bobbed rears. Never got pulled
@@alastairbrown9528 not a chance thatd be road legal 'as is' or MOT exempt. To be MOT exempt over here itd need to be registered illegally as a 1931 Ford. To have that on the road here it'd need to be IVA tested and on a Q plate as per most kit cars, and be subject to a yearly MOT test.
@@FoxSpeedshop how would registering it as a '31 Ford be "illegal" when that is literally what the body of the car is, complete with VIN tag? It's not a kit car.
@@jsquared1013 because according to the rules of registration its not a 31 Ford anymore. It no longer comes close to the 8 point rule.
I really like all kinds of projects you have been showing us, keep the great job
Best builds on youtube ... Cant believe you don't have more subscribers. Only a matter of time!
PS - I love seeing 2 builds at opposite ends of the process. It makes the content more interesting. I would keep going with that schedule.
Watching builds this meticulous, it is sometimes refreshing to switch it up and watch the close to end product being refined
I’m not just here for the Ferraris with swapped Honda motors. I’m here for all I’ve it. I’m like you my man. I like little bits of everything. And I don’t blame you for having to take a step back. Most of the time the best work comes from well thought out plans.
On the subject of your motor that was “new” you should get a full refund cause you were lied to over and over from a sleazy deale!
Keep doing what makes you happy mike! Keep posting what you wanna post. Keep working on what you wanna work on and record and post. I know I’ll be watching. 🤘🏽🙌🏾🔥🙏🏽🚙💨🤞🏽🤘🏽
Since the cam is most likely a performance cam, it should come with specs that should tell you the exact opening positions (in crank degrees) of the intake and the exhaust side. All you have to do is degree both cams on each bank for cylinder 1 and 2 with a dial gauge, a magnetic base and a degree wheel and you have your answer. There is not really any other way to do it.
Man, I'm normally not a hot rod/ model A kinda guy, but this looks fantastic. I originally subbed for the Ferrari, but I enjoy whatever content you happen to be making regardless. Much love. Keep it up.
Great episode as always! Mad props to the dude who covered Chloe's ears during the first start!
Love it bro. Sorry you lost that much time figuring out the engine problem, that sucks. Keep up the good work!
Love all the content no matter the build.
I never judge others people projects... I'm sure you know your decisions but maann those Moteki wheels where breathtaking on model A.
And also great work, i really enjoy the progress you make!
dude content is content your edits and video quality are top notch as long as your having fun the core people will watch and support its silly that people really think they have a say in what videos you make especially not understanding that you can create parts out of thin air otherwise we all would be driving race cars everyday things take time ,money ,communication ,and patience
I wish I had that exact gearbox. Just banging thru gears with a dogbox is awesome. Also new subscriber here 👋
Thanks for the sub!
at the end of the day its your channel your life and we choose to watch. love the content
Awesome to see the Model A rolling. I see this as the Stanceworks channel, not the Honda-swapped 308 channel. Keep doing you! 👍🏻
I love the model A and damn that dealershit!!! Jerks!!
Also just verbally tell me how the bmw is going and I love that old white bmw and the truck sitting above it.
Your builds are sweet and I always look forward to your videos! This was the best Wednesday morning for me in several years just because you posted a video before I was awake. Thank you so much!
Keep doing what you are doing and those who are mad at you for whatever reason can just put their own projects up on RUclips and have their own haters
That's crazy how small the model A is like almost looks smaller than the brz parked on the street! Beautiful build man keep it up!
Refresh, rejuvenate and be you brother... both of these projects are fricken dope af!
Gotta say - was not expecting a flat 5 spoke wheel, defo preferred the other wheels. but .. it's such a tough looking build it looks great either way .
"Sorry, not sorry"👍 Model A content is great, it's all interesting stuff whichever car you're working on. Unless it's itemised on the bill of sale they cant claim that you were aware of it's condition
I always had more than one project on the go, while you had a break from one new ideas used to pop up in your head ...
Just keep doing what you are doing, you have some great content ..
👍🇹🇷👍
That model A looks awesome in motion ..
If you are having timing issues just check timing chain length and age ..
Cheers
Your content is perfect! Multiple projects means variety. No grief here!
I hope the engine issues are going to get solved and the seller will come forward with a reasonable solution.
Started following this channel with this build, Ferrari is just the cherry on top of the cake atm, but I am sure the next build is going to be worth watching as well.
While I prefer the Ferrari content, it's your channel. Glad to see you're doing whatcha want.
Watching here in Australia when you first built the model A I decided to do a rod the same but a Willy's pickup cab and ford turbo barra it's all running now keep up the great work 👍
Well done …really happy for you to get all the kinks sorted out. Amazing build 💪🏽
Nice work so far on the truck! Keep pumping out videos
Glad you were able to at least get it running!! Sucks they were dishonest about their work and I hope they take are of it! Love the look of the truck!
I came to your channel for the Ferrari, but I have stayed (and liked every video) because of your style. Keep up the the great work Mike, I love the model A and can’t wait for a new project (any hints???)
Ferrari or not, your Channel is Awesome! Keep pushing and impress us. You are really tallented. Its about that we all love your Channel.
Best part of the video. At 8:48 you can see someone protecting the dogs ears when he goes to start the truck.
I guess you found some good luck in all of your bad luck with the shoot being pushed back. Gives you some time to rest and reset and get the beast of the Model A ready to go!
It sucks that the dealership was shady and didn't disclose all of the information in order to bait you into a sale. I really hope you're able to get some compensation for their scam, especially with how much you've spent even just diagnosing the problem itself.
Don't worry about a stagnation in the Ferrari content for now. It is what originally brought me to the channel (I read an article someone wrote back in January on it and then it took me a bit to get to the first video on it in my watch later list lol), but honestly I'm just here for the build videos in general at this point. You show the good and the bad during the process of a build and I for one really appreciate that because it's the real experience of working on something.
Keep up the good work man, and have a happy Thanksgiving!
I admit I don't care much for the BMW, it's a bit too *normal*. But the Ford is absolute beast, easily one of the coolest project I've ever seen. I love it and episodes dedicated to it almost as much as the Ferrari.
Love all your builds , would love to see that truck in the background turned into a four wheel drive off road beast or a similar project taken on by you 💪
In the industry I'm in, people are also reluctant to shame bad business people/practices/techniques. And IMO it really should be done more often...as long as you can prove it. To save other people from being taken advantage of. Thus why I prefer to communicate by email and text and I keep copies of everything. Hope you get it sorted.
Best wishes on getting that engine tune proper! Look forward to seeing it running as you would like to see it run.
All I can say is I will watch whatever car content you produce. I'm really looking forward to your next project - whatever it might be. It will be a good build. Any updates on your BMW?
That motor sounds already big, and lovely BUT it runs like in 4 cylinders. It really gives the impression something is working against it self.
Your import cars are cool, but the Model A is one of the baddest rides on the planet! Keep it up Mike!
While you're ironing out the engine issues on the 31, maybe put a couple mufflers on it. Most people will appreciate a car with a good sounding exhaust-very few appreciate an open exhaust like that.
