Kevin I'm serious, the airplane hanger is sounding like an investment!
"Florida Pro" license.... I think you pronounced Florida Man wrong.
To be honest I like real fishing better.
I loved the in depth talk, very informative and fun at the same time💯 keep up the excellent content
yo is that a 920 back ther?
"...exhaust that is required..." That's where you're wrong, Kevin. You know what exhaust system fits every IRS made? Open headers. Also, SVT SNEK is a great license plate.
There are a number of reasons not to go with open headers. For one, they aren't legal on road vehicles. Secondly emission laws vary from state to state. Some states like KS or TN have no state emissions. Other states like CA prohibit any kind of emissions exemptions on ANY vehicle newer than a '75. Thirdly, carbon monoxide KILLS. It's why road cars have catalytic converters so drivers don't kill themselves via carbon monoxide poisoning.
IRS pipes look great. Lots of guys even put IRS pipes on their straight axle cars because they like the look.
@Budd Smokegood Maybe on a track car. I use my car on the street, and I prefer not to go deaf in my car ... plus IRS pipes look great - and sound great too!
@@adamdefouw1597 thought about doing that myself but how low are the damn pipes as it goes under the axle??
@@marks93cobra I personally don’t recommend it. The IRS cars have a fixed pumpkin so they won’t interfere … the solid axle moves in a way that it could interfere if they weren’t mounted low enough. Most people do it for aesthetics, which I think is silly. I run IRS pipes because I have an IRS.
Instructions unclear. Dime stuck up nose.
Instructions unclear. Mustang in crowd.
Directions unclear. Wood burning fireplace in a log cabin.
😂😂😂
Oh that took a minute to set in.
Hahaha, McCool, McCool ... you clever Pinto-lover. 🤣
When John was being pulled and he flopped sideways I lost it. Thanks for another great video! That exhaust sounded fantastic!
Congrats on the Summit sponsorship! You should be very proud!! You deserve it
Last time I tried the IRS swap I got arrested for tax evasion.... Lmao 😂
[rimshot]
Seems legit.
@@tekvax01 😂 your comment is just the icing on the cake
When is your next show 😂
Other than you guys actually working on the car, you guys are just having fun hanging out together and having a good time and I am jealous!
Haha, jealous...non-sense! If you are local and would like to join...im not sure, but i bet your help would be welcomed with open arms. If not, well, you ever find yourself in South Jersey and you're welcome to help on my channel!
@@CC_Top_Solutions Well thank you very much for the offer, if I wvery find myself down there I will be sure to give you a jingle!
Kevin, one thing I have always enjoyed about your videos is the fact that you explain and show how everything works - you dont withhold information for the profit of your channel knowing something others may not. One who can teach, is one who truly understands. Your videos have really helped me brush the dust off all that I learned before I went off to college and left the car scene. I've been restoring a '79 Chevy and your videos are a genuinely helpful tool in rebuilding my confidance and allowing me to do so. Thank you, seriously.
I did an IRS swap from an 04 Cobra into my 04 Mach 1 a few months back. It is a huge difference! You'll be really happy with it. Even just cruising around it is way more comfortable. Funnily enough I also removed an 8.8 with 4.10s for the IRS.
Pretty awesome when you do something against the forum communal knowledge and it turns out great. Everyone thinks a Mustang should be a drag car
@@yeahitskimmel I went pretty heavily into the handling mods on mine. Bilsteins all around, IRS swap, H&R race springs in the rear upgraded sway bars, brembo brakes. This weekend and next I'll be installing a tubular k-member, new motor mounts, tubular a-arms, front coilovers, a bumpsteer kit, aluminum rack bushings, and also refreshing a number of things on the engine. Really excited to take it on some curves after.
@@imboredadr how much did it all cost?
@@clevelandmaker386 I bought the car with some of the stuff already on it. The IRS came from from a friend's car that was going solid and the new stuff going on was around $2000. Would have been more but I get good discounts due to my job.
The car also has aftermarket cams, bassani midlength headers, bassani x pipe, 3" bassani catback, JLT intake, and has been tuned. Made 346hp/349tq on a dynojet.
@@imboredadr I don't know people.. so how much for somebody with no connections
Yoooooo! Congrats on the Summit sponsorship, Kevin. That's awesome, you deserve it.
Go John!!! The mullet was lost for a reason.
Out of all the things I expected to see in this video, you being drug by an AMC Eagle on an exhaust box is not one of them.
Man, I thought John looked familiar. I commented earlier and just called him the funny (funny haha not funny quire) rookie cop 🤣😂🤣.
Finally got the chance to give this a watch, HUGE kudos for getting Summit on board with the channel that should lead to some serious fun! Very much appreciate the honesty as well.
Thanks for changing it up a bit I remember watching your before you served and you've helped me so damn much. Thank you for your videos and the laughs the "roadkill style" Ford drew me in for life
I've learned so much watching this channel. Kevin does such an amazing job explaining tech that a dummy like me can understand it. I've always struggled with how diffs worked but with how kevin explained it and broke it down really helped me understand them a little better. Thank you kevin and wyatt, pls do more tech tips!
the only bit he missed is the spacers on either side of the diff not only set the engagement with the pinion they also set the preload on the bearings that support the diff! So move spacers from one side to the other to adjust the gears add or remove spacers to set up the bearing preload.
@@markscully2342 I actually learned that from drift RUclipsrs that change out gears for different tracks. Diffs are definitely confusing and kevin really helped me better understand how they work
Hey jyd you guys are the reason I started working on lawnmowers so I just wanted to thank you
no matter what you do in life knowing the basics can save you money even your life, keep it up
@@pollyg562 thx a lot I'm try every day to get better
@@logicthought24 I want to laugh but I'm not going to
Bought my rearend housing (Ford 9 in) to bolt right in my 79 Regal....BOLTED IN IN 20 MINUTES!!!! Quick Performance built it for my Regal....and the even sent me 2 31 spline axles with Chevy bolt pattern, so didn't have to get new WELDS 😊😊😊GREAT COMPANY!!!!
Kevin, thank you for taking the time to draw that excellent exploded view of a differential. That’s awesome. I know this video is old, but I hope you see this. Your awesome dude.
proof boxes are more fun than the thing that came in them
I do this stuff for a living and you guys did a good job explaining how diffs work and go together. Thumbs up this will help many.
I had a similar type build back in the early nineties with an '84 Z28 that had been a gnarly front end wreck. Wrecking yard front sun frame and sheet metal.
Built a TPI engine obtained from the wrecking yard. Built 700R4(nit from the wrecking yard) Also obtained from the wrecking yard was a full set of IROC wheels, quick ratio steering box, posi rear end with rear disc brakes, factory suspension goodies including 36 mm hollow front sway bar and "wonder" bar, garage fabled strut tower brace
and IROC ground affects. Loved that car.
Also, the 8.8 isn’t bad to do. Yes it’s annoying tearing it apart 5 times. The SINGLE best tip for any axle that doesn’t have a 3rd member, buy 2 inner pinion bearings and grind the ID on one to where it easily slips on and off the pinion. Then while you find the correct shins for your wear pattern and backlash, you don’t need to press on and off. Then during final assembly, freeze the pinion and bake the bearing at 300 degrees for an hour and slide the bearing on. I just use original carrier shims if keeping the factory gearing on a rebuild.
A good replacement I think for DGerm is Spray 9 if you can get it in Iowa. I use it all the time at work and I love it. Also a few years ago I made a comment about the f250 that the Fe should be rebuilt and topped with a blower and build a drag truck out of it, It wouldn’t be fast but it would be fun. Love the content from all you guys keep it up.
Nice! I love my mustang too! It feels good to give back Kevin. Congratulations John on your new career. Been doing the same thing for 24 years. Tough job to do these days. Good to see friends having a good time.
Good job gentlemen. As a Ford chassis master, I'd say you guys have a good grasp on things. You're right about the need for special tools for this job. At least you recognized that, and decided to reach out to get it done for you, rather than trash a new set of gears. Keep up the good work!
I been using power stop brake components and rotors for over a decade and they have never let me down even dirty rally racing Toyota suvs and even drag racing @Junkyard Digs
I’m just here for Mook
Me to!
Great video as always👍. You guys are a blast to watch. I like these different episodes from time to time
Oh man that borla Exhaust sounds Beastly Omg that sound is heaven way deeper sound than the first Rev at the beginning and that stance Looks Amazing @Junkyard Digs
"Two bullets one duck" is now my new favorite quote lol
"Thanks Kevin for pimpin' my ride!" - Wyatt
When Carl shouldered the cradle all I could think was "I AM IRON MAAAN"
Kevin, as a technical school student seriously considering the Automotive field. video's like this are so valuable. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us your learning experience. I really enjoy your video's especially one's like this, I hope you can do more!
Hay Kevin and co I just want to say thanks for doing what you do I've just started to work on a ford falcon xg that's been sitting in my yard for the past 12 to 13 years and watching you has been a huge help with it. Congrats on the sponsorships
The carton box part just got me. I'm dead xD You guys seem a blast to hang out with.
47:45 - hope John's future PD doesn't see this - he'll never get a patrol car 😄😄
i hope they dont see the campervan midfield in Kansas Speedway he was drunk as a my brotherinlaw
I am Lee and I am 70 yrs old. I remember the trucks and the car . When I was younger. I enjoy you and your beautiful friend thank you
I’m more of a Camaro guy but these little mustangs get down and they deserve some respect. Big congrats one the summit sponsors you deserve it. I’ve always wanted an IROC because of my dads he had in high school.
great video
the car sounds awesome!
i love the exhaust tone!
from 44:30 and on, was some of the best shit. this was one of if not the best videos you made in a while. i loved the little bit of goofing off and especially john in the box sled (you should make that a shirt) it was nice adding some good laughs.
Great content Kevin and good job to you and wyatt on taking the time to explain what your doing to the viewers. This kind of content is what inspires so many to get out and start their own build. Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to many more videos!
Please don’t forget what your channel is about. Bringing old left and forgotten cars/trucks back to life. Too many other channels I used to watch got over their head with what they were sponsored with, and it took the fun and interest out their channel.
Best automotive entertainer, and teacher that exists. You deserve everything you get. Been watching you since 2017 never let me down! Keep diggin!
Amazing video and an amazing car! Glad you were having so much fun, i love when you upload and i can just sit down and watch for an hour and just chill.
Congratulations to John too, i hope there will be more of him this year.
Summit Racing!! The Holy Grail of automotive channel sponsors!! Congrats!!!
Congrats on the Summit sponsorship, Kevin. Big news.
i seen the stang in the picture and instantly clicked....ugh some day i'll own one
My brother just picked up a 95 corvette as a project car. Motor turns over, I'm told, but it needs some major love. He is excited as he always wanted a corvette.
I love the humor in your videos but thank you for being serious about others on the road and taking care of your own stuff so that others are not in danger
"Mook only drinks whiskey"... I knew I liked that girl for some reason.
This is going to be a great series! I want to see what’s under the hood tho!!!
I really respect the junkyard approach. That catches my attention immediately. Using resources efficiently and economically is super cool. Excellent work Kevin!!
48:40 "No sir, it is not illegal to tow a boat, but we do require it to be on a trailer... and you lost your skier about a mile back." -Jeff Foxworthy
I love the powerstop brakes I put on my 6.0 powerstroke would definitely recommend
Love that you’re paying back your buddies for helping you out, but the revival videos are what made you.
Dude THANK YOU SO MUCH! Teaching about the nighmare of differential configs. And for the fishing game too.. THAT is a blast! 😎
Congrats john on geting the job now you have a reason on shaving the mullet
Congrats to John on the job, but does that mean the mullet is gone for good?
That was my main concern. Lol
Nice Job! I'm really happy for John beginning a career in Law Enforcement mostly because he now sports a regulation haircut.
Hell,yeah goodbye mullet!!getting serious time,ha,ha,lolsnookie pa.
Wow great Sponsors Kev. So proud and happy for ya go gettem
Good Seeing You Back At It Kevin, Congratulations On The New Spencer’s!!
Great video. I did notice something though. When you were removing the driver’s side rear shock, that tire appears to be on the wrong side as noted by the rotation arrows are pointing towards the rear of the car. Wouldn’t that also cause vibration? Keep making great videos.
If the tire is balanced that won't cause much of any vibration but you definitely want directional tires facing the way they are supposed to
“There’s no carburetor on it…”
“That makes it better.”
I disrespectfully disagree.
A commercial with dual quads or 8 webber would be pretty cool.
Gotta hate computers, all that consistent driveability, ease of tuning, comprehensive component monitoring and easy troubleshooting are pretty terrible.
Thanks for the great explanation and break down on the rear end great picture easy to understand!
I've been doing brake jobs for decades, and I usually do at least a half assed break-in. Recently I replaced my brakes IMMEDIATELY before leaving on a road trip (one of the old pads broke apart that morning) and I was amazed how bad the brakes felt for the first handful of miles. I thought I'd blown a hole in a brake line. After a handful of stops though, the breaks felt fine. Always remember to do the break-in
Congratulations dude you deserve good things, when I saw Wyatt I thought you were doing a diesel swap.
😬
Glad for you guys success, but please, please, please don't turn the channel into a racing build channel for every video. The will it run videos are so much better (IMHO). Thanks!
another awesome video guys i learn so much from you thanks
Honestly best teaching video I’ve watched so far love the depth they y’all got into the rear axel 👍✅
Warning: constructive criticism ahead.
It's great getting sponsors but I just hope you stay true to what made your channel fun. This episode seems a bit thick with marketing and thin with showing work. It was disappointing to see you skip past the areas you had difficulties, and do things off-camera. Overcoming the problems is valuable for people to see. (Why couldn't you finish the diff, what was the problem with installing the IRS?)
Who would own a damn mustang. 🙄
Excuse me🤨 last time I checked it's. The best muscle car ever beside Chevrolet and Dodge
Someone who doesn't like crowds
@@rat-rav exactly there's nothing wrong with the Mustang because the newer GT500 is a Dodge killer
@@icefoxx1523 it's my car. 🤣
@@bubbadw60 FYI the best Cobra was The Terminator but those are nice but the best Cobra lineup is the 93 through 94-95 - 2004
I never thought it was possible but something tells me this channel is about to get even better! Keep up the pleasant content man!
HOORAY FOR SUMMIT! I'm so happy for you Kevin!
That 97 cobra sounds beastly Wyatt thats🔥🔥 @6:13 @Junkyard Digs
Summit sponsor. Badass man. Congrats the channels deserves it.
Funniest thing I have ever heard Kevin say in about 1,000 of his videos, "a carbureted tuner". LOL
"Two bullets with one duck." - Followed by possibly some of the deepest confusion I have ever seen.
Also I'm stealing that, only so that I can see how much confusion I can sow with it among my friends.
I bought the QA1 full suspension kit through Summit Racing for my first gen Monte Carlo. Let’s face it. After 50 years, the stamped stock suspension parts, coils, and rubber bushings just needed to be gone. I also got the optional rear sway bar and fatter front sway bar. With 60 series BFGs on 15x8 rims, that car has never handled that good. I am not a professional mechanic. With the supplied instructions, I was able to install it all using jack stands in my garage. If you couldn’t tell, I fully endorse QA1 from Summit Racing.
"Look at the size of that crappie!!"🤣🤣🤣
It was already a great video and then came the „Box Sled“🤘🏽🤣🤣🤣That killed me
Learned a lot from your detailed illustrations, very well done. Thanks
Whoa,John is back! Congrats John and good luck!
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Watching the cradle installation sent me back to auto shop class (cira 1983). On pulling or installing a transmission. Shop teacher explaining the need for a transmission jack. If you do not have this jack you will need a BDF to hold the transmission while you bolt it in. Having recently replaced the clutch in my car. My best friend asked. What's a BDF. Big Dumb Friend.
You guys are awesome.
I put power stops on my ‘07 Impala, the set for all 4 came with the rotors and carbon pads and I shit you not it’ll stop on a dime. By far my favorite brake company.
Text books are underated.
Loved the tech! I learned something today.
Great show guys! Really enjoyed it! Sweet ride cool dudes.heres to living right!. Thanks !
Carb= overflowing toilet (According to Al at The Skid Factory)
3 inches of snow+ rear wheel drive=tons of fun.
Sweet Mustang. I like those years Cobra’s. Back in the early 90’s I saw at a dealership a Carroll Shelby Super Snake. It had the 351 V-8 on it… Bad ass Mustang.
Congrats on the Summit and other sponsorships.
Congrats on the sponsorships, you guys are really crushing it!!!!!!! I can’t wait to see what you have coming in the future!
trying to picture John as a police officer after the Nascar drinking nights LOL
4 guys. 1 car in a garage. Add beer. What fun!
Solid sn95. Export tail lights. New edge cobra seats and folding mirrors. That’s some high dollar goodies.
😏 yeah. Hehe. I've been hawking the classifieds for some other things.
love quick performance, just had them build me a Ford 8" things didn't go well the first time but they made it right and I couldn't be happier! great customer service but turn around time can be a little long because they are extremely busy but it's worth the wait!
Love to see the Mustangs on the show. QA1 is a great Company but all of the Mustang guys know that if you're looking to carve corners, there's only one Company to go with and that's Maximum Motorsports or Grigg's. Let us know where you'll be in the summer carving corners and we will bring out the Wrecking Ball to run with you. Keep us updated, looking forward to the build!
MM and Griggs are great, but for IRS stuff, Full Tilt Boogie Racing is our preference. They're masters.
Ironically, if you look at the car closely, it has a full MM front kit. K member, coilovers, bump steer kit, caster camber plates and all that jazz. It was my intention to get a MM rear grip pack for this initially after getting the IRS in.
QA1 was kind enough to give me these coilovers for the rear. Now to get a FTB bushing kit!
@@bubbadw60 Make sure and post some vids when you get it out carving corners!
love the shenanigans at the end. too many great memories of friends in the midwest winters.
This is the FIRST video that I actually understanded about read diffs and shimming....
Congrats on the Summit sponsorship!! That's the dream right there!
Finished the video and god DAMN that exhaust should be a requirement for owning this car
I think the guy that has the channel Idocars has the headlights you are looking for, he has a business in St Louis, very intertaining videos on blown engines you guy will love this guy. He looks like Adam Sandler when he was younger...
Way to go Kevin with your new sponsors!! And what an awesome turnout with the mustang. Hopefully we'll see some sneak previews thought the year before the big event. Like always a fun video.
