“It was in the toolbox where it’s supposed to be. “
Been there done that, mate.

[@FREQQLES]

Happy Birthday Woody! 👌

[@NickAngel89]

Love your work guys. Just a little tip that I’ve learnt over the years, oil coolers should be mounted sideways with the hot side feeding in from the bottom. This helps reduce the likelihood of having air pockets in the cooler.

[@OvertakingLane]

No better way to start the week off than a bit of holden action on the skid factory!!

[@truthseeker8483]

Iron Lion action...

[@vogs72]

Go Ted!

[@truthseeker8483]

@Thomas Foley Was your father's name Ted?

[@mikeymasi]

@@truthseeker8483 it's a Freo mate

[@bradgraham8272]

i dont know why these guys dont have a million subs. they post more content than mcm and are just as entertaining if not better

[@danielmckinley3236]

Alot better than mcm. No bullshit just real talk. 🤟

[@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310]

About ten years difference in putting out videos will do that...

[@albertkelly7129]

nowhere near as good, these guys have a more earthy delivery but dont have star quality personalities for huge subs

[@agga3955]

Albert Kelly star quality personalities 😂 or a shit Yaris lol

[@bobbymcearlton]

They are friends you bogan, they are both great fro different reasons.

[@cammo275]

"this is ten times more professional then the original holden setup" honestly said like it's not difficult to achieve lmao

[@martykath4427]

Al is the genuine article. Occasionally they miss a detail or two though he and Benny are the ones to watch.

[@evanboubouka3031]

"How good are cars" lol!

[@NarfBLAST]

That moment when Al plugged in the the lathe, and the beautiful result, was captured nicely. Enjoyed that.

[@alexyo3927]

I would love for the project Binky guys to come to your shop or the other way round I think it would be a good mix of dudes!

[@MrGazzaj]

The Kingswood? You can't take the Kingswood! I just calibrated the performance shims!

[@ryleapeehi9073]

Garry Jacks good that means it works

[@1DoPeS14]

Out of all the american youtubers...I like watching you guys from Australia more lol

[@shortredman1]

Its not all about shampooing the tow ball :P

[@someyoungguy6990]

Stone the crows, that was a good one!!

[@notsofresh8563]

[@berlina117]

[@Tonzeff]

Good seeing Al & Woody at yesterdays Auckland meet, Keep up the awesome work, you're both an inspiration to car modders both young and old.

[@harveyottotech]

I love the casual ease with which he just manufactures stuff that's better than stock

[@Darkhalfcustoms]

I really love seeing the little things. It's the stuff that all the others leave out of their videos. Good for ya man for keeping it real in the automotive world.

[@allanbutlin5553]

Happy birthday Woody!

[@STKMK1]

‘Shampooing the tow ball’ had me pmsl😂😂

[@danriley1980]

[@clancygray2414]

Theres nothing more reliable then skid factory dropping a vid

[@jimmyd6819]

happy birthday woodie

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

It is definitely time to bring Kingswood Country back. The world is far too PC these days

[@emceeboogieboots1608]

When I heard Freo, I was thinking "What? A boat anchor? Wash your mouth out sir!"
Thanks for clearing that up

[@devilononeshoulder]

I love how fantastically grumpy Alan is.

[@kasnitch]

those hydraulic crimpers are the shit . good on ya Allan .

[@puppystaffordshire2123]

Happy birthday woody.

Happy Birthday Woody

[@NeverLetOff]

I do love this project for some reason

[@Thiswasmeanttobeeasy]

I've never heard of Hughes Coolers before, but now I think I might need one.

[@sireuchre]

Making a bracket - channeling your inner Nik Blackhurst I see. However, it took you far too little time and not enough bends and cuts.

[@bleeksbentbits3150]

New aerial is hanging inside the top of your wardrobe.....
Glad to here the motor designation properly pronounced finally!
Shame about the rear cross-member, although you can always chalk it up as a practice run ;)
Thanks for sharing again

[@detroitredwing919]

Holden's worked for 10 years yours work for 10 seconds😂.....lol Much love THANX

[@mazcatii]

Trans cooler against the radiator "Just incase". Naturally aspirated yoda planning for "things".......

[@carlcomputer9686]

You don't want to get in the way of anything... NA stuff of course

[@johnjosephson9277]

I was thinking aircon, but extra special n/a heat exchanger makes more sense :)

Boom yes this day can't get any better

Always love the content guys especially the Kingswood stuff. Be cool to see an old 202 rebuild.

KTM’s always break cause KTM riders ride them properly.
Happy Birthday Woody, from a fellow Mid November KTM rider!

[@stephenpublicover8818]

Hey Allan,Woody, the front end of the Holden looks like a 73 or 74 Chev Monte Carlo in Canada!

[@slidespec]

Remember, you're never late in a 308!

[@robmanueb.]

You wont be crying with your Iron Lion.

[@BradGryphonn]

I have a 1960s/70s vintage bus with a 308 swap. Currently working on getting it running.

[@chrismclean8211]

Yeah but the panties hit the floor in the 304

[@bradgraham8272]

and the river runs in a 281

Digging the tune @ 12mims

[@trevorpom]

No, it's not just shampooing the tow ball...for it MUST be glad wrapped as well.

[@rayg9069]

Don't forget to change the vacuum in the brake lights.

[@sw96]

Ray G What about topping up the blinker fluid?

[@79huddy]

Got to adjust the carburetor belt tension and grease the muffler bearings

[@halleffect1]

6:48 thank you Woody, i was lost

[@kinglouiesshed8995]

Just as I’m coming in from my shed 👌🏼👍🏼👌🏼

thank you for detail video

[@nickgrech9634]

I love watching your videos boys! Always great content.

[@pauljohnson7382]

Always chuckle when Aussies say "Aloominium" 👌
Edit: Turbo Yoda for PM!!👍👍

[@Koop2k]

I always get sad when Americans say "alumimum"

[@saltydog888]

Na we say aluminium. Yanks say aloominum.

[@pauljohnson7382]

After a few 🍻 I can't say it either way

[@fattypuds7395]

The Iron Lion is going to roar 🦁

[@Sobriquet71]

Don't worry about Mr Sheening the aerial, have you polished the dipstick yet?

[@impalatube]

Next project: Purple Valiant

[@petewood2350]

When you put something down in the workshop, and can't find what you have done with it shortly afterwards, that is Industrial Blindness, when you do the same thing at home, that is Domestic Blindness.

[@bakaronin]

It's FINE

[@andybobandy641]

HAPPY BURPDAY WOODY!!!

[@a.l.8873]

We can tell it's approaching the other season in Qld. Al is a few percent grumpier than usual.

[@RyanMiller-ly4li]

Is the VK gunna be in future episodes? Pretty keen to see the motor after seeing the bumper exit exhaust and screamer

[@theskidfactory]

Ryan Miller yes it will

[@lylehebb7781]

Like the tongue action when crimping Al 😜

[@aSinisterKiid]

Sic speed hole bro

[@BradGryphonn]

Happy Born Day mate.

[@STAG162]

0:39 but did you polish the dipstick?

[@Leofred2000]

15:00 I could use that turn buckle thing as an easier adjuster for my wg actuator

[@thefallingpi341]

bloody ripper

[@Techtiqal]

Shampooing the towball😂😂

[@shadowrg1]

would be wondering how they are going to bleed the air out of the trans cooler with how they have mounted it.

[@honda150frider]

Wanna see the shifter linkages, doing very similar build and need some ideas!!

[@blahblahblahblah2837]

Sometimes that look in your eye Al, I reckon - 'yeah he could be the bloke who ram-raided the coles and towed the ATM off the wall the other week'

[@beardwrench]

I hope there's an air bleed at the top of that trans cooler otherwise their Will always be an air pocket, best way to mount a trans cooler is sideways with the feed in the bottom and the return at the top that way it self bleads all the air out

[@Puffalupagus360]

That wago is gonna be mint at the end of this (in reality it's already finished, but hey).

[@nickgrech9634]

Woo! Love the videos

[@johntreloar8203]

Happy birthday Woodregos...

[@wingoson]

Yeah that bracket is vn-vs for the power steering pump.

[@6ford9]

Performance shims love Aussie slang.

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

The Kingswood? Not the Kingswood! I just greased the brake pads!

[@westie4ageturbo.749]

I was sure this episode you would shampoo the towball. Thats the best bit! ( if you didnt grow up in Australia in the 70s and 80s you missed out)

[@dolphincatcher2491]

Tech talk on headers

[@benmatthews3366]

hey mate that's an early v8 pump you needed the vt 5 litre pump it has a different pully not so far set back

[@christianhargreaves1320]

Don't use a gasket between the header and head, guaranteed to leak, just use silastic!

[@rodrigodelafuente4080]

Guys what engine should I put in my skyline? Gallo 12 or Gallo 24?

[@johntheconnor8721]

can you do a quick tech on making up brake hard lines?

[@johnjosephson9277]

They've covered brake lines before, sometime...

[@reidkeevers]

But have you glad wrapped the number plate!?

[@darrenbrown5248]

Great show you camera man is a tool !!

[@Ecosse57]

tri-y headers are nice. the original shelby mustang gt350 had 'em too.

[@ebay4dave]

yeah cause they work

[@michaelatkin2562]

Happy wood-day birthy

[@seagullhoonbirdpersonpilot5511]

You reminded me i have to shampoo my ball again.
