  • We get the 67 L88 ringing and driving! Just in time to make the race. But of course we run into issues. The car fell off the lift and needed fiberglass work done to the left front fender. Little hick up wont slow us down! We will be racing this car on the next video!

    Awesome! The 67 Corvette has to be the best looking design that ever came out of Detroit... I mean, really the 63-67 but the 67 pretty much was the pinnacle. I'm really glad it didn't get smashed... and especially that it didn't fall on you. Looking forward to the track video and thanks for the update!

    I loved the way the front end lifted up when you mashed the gas pedal. That thing is going to be a beast. 67 is my favorite year

    I'm really glad you didn't get hurt . All in all it could've been so much worse. The black one was my favorite but now the 67 is!!!! It's turning out so well!!!!

    • @danmyers9372
      @danmyers9372 Год назад +1

      Agree. That could turned out really bad. Hopefully this was a wake up call to get the lift adjusted/repaired to lift evenly and also add some lift adapters on the arms.

    Cool to see the car almost (cars are never finished) finished and moving on its own power. Can't wait to see it go down the track.

    Glad your ok . I feel your pain . Had a 69 Corvette convertible flip over on a hoist . I was about to do exhaust before it flipped. Someone was
    Watching out for me..
    Cars can be fixed. Your around to tell the tale that’s all that matters.
    Good luck .

    Life-long Chevy man. THIS epitomizes that life-long love affair for me. Right or wrong, Corvettes ARE my favorite high-performance cars, ever. '63-'67's, like this. As well as the '68-'72 Mako Sharks. Too close to call for me, to say which ones I love more. Yes, there ARE faster cars that have come along, since. But not one of them is cooler, or sexier, IMHO.

    Man you got a lot done, love the cage, I bet it really strengthens the body flex. Thank God no one got hurt on that lift. I bet you won't be using it anytime soon again.

    When I worked at a dealership years ago, had a car fall off after they had done some repairs to my lift. It was definitely scary. Glad you're okay.

    I love the whole F.A.S.T class but I think it was in the last videos thumbnail where the engine is sitting in front of the car? It looks so freakin stock and makes 4 digits. Amazing to say the least. And making it hook on what you guys do is amazing also. Awesome grandpa by the way too👍

  • @lencac7952
    @lencac7952 Год назад +4

    After years of working as a tech at the dealership I've seen a number of cars and trucks come off the lift. Pretty scary stuff.

    • @gordocarbo
      @gordocarbo 5 месяцев назад

      Sure is, like a slo mo bad dream btdt. Ever see a heavy 76 Caddy fall? Lol
      Wasnt funny then but laugh now.

    • @lencac7952
      @lencac7952 5 месяцев назад

      Hi gordo: It is like a slow mo thing. I remember one time long ago when we had twin post inground lifts. One of the lifts with a truck on it and because the tech forgot to lock-out the posts, overnight one post bled down so in the morning we found the truck in the next bay on it's roof. Not scary, but pretty funny ........ if you're not the one who has to pay twin wreckers to get it out.

    Bro i Just LOVE how you modified the old side pipes with the 2 mufflers , i flows great and it sounds EXCELLENT! Is this basically the same way you did with the black 69 L88 right? A pair of dynomax bullet mufflers and stainless bros muffler’s, now just painted black and located a little different, right? I love it bro, can't wait to see this beast in the 1/4!

    We do alot of C2 work at our shop, and the frames in these cars definitely makes them a little sketchyfor lift points the way the frame slopes up gradually right where you would like to place the front lift arms....glad it wasn't worse.....stay safe

    • @gordocarbo

    Looking good Jordan. This car is going to get a lot of love from fans. And probably some hate from your opponents when you start kicking a.. That converter definitely sounds really loose. Still wondering about your possibly using a much tighter converter and “controlling” it with some dump valves? Have other racers tried this (assuming of course it’s legal)?

    so the arm slipped out from under the car - tilted over and the same arm stuck in the body just below the shark gills ? , and was tittering on two arms (drivers front and passenger rear) wanting to do a nose dive onto the floor ? The Corvette Gods were watching over that bad ass coupe

    Fantastic car , wow that thing moves i was wondering if i could get you to make me the same side pipes, i have side pipes on my car and i agree totally with what you sade about them being very restrictive, i have some sanderson 1 7/8 shortys with 3 inch exit, was wondering if you could make me some pipes . 3 inch to the side then i guess the 4 mufflers have to be a little smaller to fit under the factory covers ... Do you guys do work for other people . Thank you. Randy

    you can rig a safety chain to keep a car from completely falling off that lift, to at least save yourself from getting squashed.
