The time has come for our first trip to the drag strip to see just how fast our twin turbo big block Fairmont really is. We are going to run it first on motor naturally aspirated so we can see just how much faster it is on boost. Can we get a 6 second pass on our first outing?

OMG !! you finally got a casing changer AND a balancer !! congratulations Josh
Yes!!!!
I got super excited for that they deserve it!!! Way too hard a work fighting tires, that's really going to take a lot of time back, tires take hours when you have little work with and all your might lol
You done it,now you can see it in her eyes Wawa has the need for speed. Build the Maverick for Wawa.
Yes.
Exactly
Please use a 351 Cleveland and a C6 with a transmission brake for her Maverick. A tunnel ram is best but to make it easy you can use a TFS track heat single plane intake and a 950 Holley carburetor if you build the short block for 7500 rpm.
With iron 2v Cleveland heads and the right camshaft and 11.5 compression you can make nearly the same horsepower as that big block in the Fairmont albeit at 6500 rpm in the lights.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that Grabber she likes so much. Perfect!
Super cool video
Ralphie is starting to get big. Family is far more important than any of the cars, but all the family get getting together working on the cars is great.
For sure
Ralphie welding looks better than some pro welders I've seen.
Wow, thanks!
@@Sleeperdudehe better than me
yep what they say the difference between $15 and $30 an hour lol
Because his father taught him to care..
I commend Josh and Tosh on their efforts and dedication in raising the beautiful family they have..
Makes me jealous😂 what I do I can’t seem to get the attention of my boys off of the video game for two seconds and when I do, they are so upset and angry because they can’t play the game. It makes me sad inside.
I'm old and even I wish My Dad was like you. Wawa looks at you like "he's so smart I can't even begin to grasp what he's talking about"
Thank you
Yes, you can tell she just adores her father.
He's got her loving racing and working on cars a lucky Dad
Ralphie and Wawa are the absolute best commentators!!! You can hear the absolute joy in their voices. I have a feeling they will be racing in the very near future.
37:50 Squeezy is a great sport she never once complains or has a sad face when she doesn’t want to do stuff with cars.
She’s happy to tag along thank you squeezy.
Pretty much thanks
And totally honest about it, never loose that honesty sweety
I'd be interested to see what she would do given the opportunity to drive a Jr dragster.
@@edgarpryor3233 that would be interesting.
I’m guessing she will decline.
@@edgarpryor3233 So would I. Ok, she's not much into maintenance, but she does scoot around the farm pretty well on the minibike, and the expression on her face when Josh got her behind the wheel of a v8 was priceless.
Squeezy's such a good sport. You can tell she doesn't do well with all the noise and mayhem, but she still seems happy that everyone else is having fun.
This is hands down one of the best videos I’ve seen lately.
Thank you
Time to build WaWa a drag car , she looking to be the new Shirley Muldowney , ye Shirley :) You can so do it .
That would be an awesome build and race series of videos.
Or an Alex Taylor. 😊😊
She loves the blue Maverick,They could build it for her to do autocross then drag race it
Yep
Pinto is already there
WaWa needs her own race car.
A Blue Maverick 😃
She does love that blue and white Maverick they recently acquired
She could of been racing already. It's funny how you can race cars before your old enough to get a driver's license
WRX swap the beetle
I can honestly say that was a great video. I have raced on 1/4 mile dragstrips since 1957. I am now 86 years old and still go to drag races. Love them. Love the fact that you have your family with you through it all. I remember when I first met my wife. I told her she had to learn some basic skills so she would never be taken advantage of if her car broke down. She surprised me by helping to rebuild an engine for my brothers Edsel race car. Have a great day and God Bless
Thank you for watching
Edsel race car !! Wow !! Pity we can't put pictures on here. I'd love to see it. [New Zealand Edsel fan.]
HAPPY for you Josh, getting the tire changer & balancer.
Life's gonna be way easier now.
Yes for sure very exciting
Before i even read any of the comments i was going to say yep for sure WaWa needs her a drag car you can see its in her blood !!! PS you all are AWESOME!!!
WaWa is the only female in her age group that i know that loves car`s and love`s going fast like she does
Maybe
She knows more about cars than most 20 to 30 year old guys
I love her energy!!!! She is freaking awesome!!!! The whole family is awesome!!!!
Let Ralphy drive
@@jodycopeland1 I can't wait til he is out there! Lol. Or Wawa
Finally got to get back to the track! Cool Josh! Thanks for taking me along.
Thank you
Squeezy is such a cute child, love it when she finally lights up…seems like she is somewhere else sometimes, so typical of artists…Its wonderful that y’all let your kids persue their passions.
Yeah we don’t try to force her
Finally a *TIRE* machine! 🙌 You deserved one!
My dad died when I was 10 and he raced and had a 66 super sport with a 396 and I never got it but I always hoped to learn all this stuff from my dad. So glad you have your dad to show you all the things about cars. You have a fantastic family and proud to see it. God bless you and keep the videos coming. See you next week
Thank you 😊
I can’t believe you where there at that track! That is in my back yard! Wish I had known so I could have come watched in person!! Maybe next time! Looking good!!
Great showing.
Car 7.0+
Wawa - track cheerleader
Ralphie - event manager
Squeeze - reality checker
Squeeze is official Z catcher lol
Squeeze laid back napper...:) She is not really into it, yet...but glad she is into art.
😅
31:40 Who you talking with there WaWa? lol
I like how Marge had to put a cousin disclaimer in 20 minutes later, lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Again Sleeperdude Family provides wonderful Content. A Video I can watch with my Granddaughters and we all enjoy. God bless and stay safe.
Awesome! Thank you!
I want to see Josh slip and say “ tires” and have ralphie say watch your language!!
That would be funny
Ahahaha 😂😂
I have to admit the whole calling them casings thing always drives me nuts. But that’s 100% on me. Maybe because I grew up around big trucks and equipment and when you refer to a casing it’s part of the tire and what we would send off to get retreaded. Other than on here I’ve never ever heard of a tire referred to as a casing. I’ve been kinda curious if that’s a regional thing or just an inside term/joke. I have heard them slip and get corrected in previous videos.
You worked hard on this car as a family. It's great to see everyone enjoying the day. All the best from 🇬🇧👍🏻
Thanks 👍
You can hold your head high Josh, you didn't let anyone down 🇬🇧🇺🇸
I love Saturdays, no work and Sleeperdude. Living my best life.
The best!
@@Klingon2468 I also look forward to watching every Saturday. I wish I could watch the older videos. Especially towards the beginning. I do wish I could watch the beginning videos.
Tire changer is a plus!
BUT
I'll miss THOR battling hoops & casings. Jus saying...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha, that old Chevelle wagon is mine. Thanks for the compliments!
Great episode!
I look forward for noon on Saturday, I’m not even a car guy, but this has been my favorite channel for a while.
Thank you
My Saturday just got better!
Bring on team Sleeper Dude...
Thank you
1.15am, just woke up and here it is. This week's Sleeperdude. I haven't even watched it yet but I'm so glad I can't sleep.
Yes hope you like it
I would like to see you do more drag racing. Also would like to see you build a late 70's Mustang 2 hatch back with a turbo 429. And let WAWA drive it.
Yes!
Turbo 429 Maverick for Wawa lol
What Mike finally came over the fence.. squeezy a 4.... Ralphie the burnout King... You fed Wawa's addiction. Super Marg always to the rescue.. you can absolutely bet that's one of the fastest Ford Fairmont in the country
Yes!!
Always enjoy watching the shows and seeing WaWa and Ralphie helping and working on there on rides awesome
Glad to see you've got the new shop equipment, I know it will help.
Yes for sure
Big blocks, Goats , kitties and Saturdays = Perfect
Yes!
That tire machine is the one piece of equipment I e been waiting for y’all to get. That’s gonna be a big improvement for you guys.
it may not be performing as you like but the family had fun and everyone was safe !! thats the main thing.
For sure
You guys are the best! Love the family all in on the build all the way to the track, all the pets coming in the shop, Marge's laugh, and the kids are the best
Thank you!!
trans brake and a bump box, little tuning and your in the 6s. So cool to see the family enjoying it with you.
Josh you will get that car set up it will be a monster lots of hard work it takes time to work thru the process your super smart to do all this stuff still watching the show just wanted to fan club buddy your gonna get it god bless to all of you back to watching now :) sleeper dude rocks !!!!! Tosh doing all that amazing camera work Wawa on the score card lol you guys are awesome
I hope so!! Thank you
Really glad but not as much as y'all are that you have a real casing balancer and changer. This old fella is smiling from ear to ear and he doesn't even have a shop, now that's crazy. Continued success and Gods blessings on your family. Not going to come Tennessee for no reason but if we ever do and see you at the store I'm going to offer you a hand to congratulate you on what you are doing for American families.
Thank you I appreciate that
I have noticed that Wawa is starting to look like her Mother more and more everyday. Ralph’s looks like his Dad, and Squeeze also look like a mix between Mom and Dad.
Awesome thanks
Ralphie looks so much like you that when you had your helmit on this time in the car i took a double take like wait nope that's Josh lol
Love your “Futura” & the way it turned out. I love that you color -matched the wheels to the car. You guys did great, working out the bugs, is all apart of it.
Checklist (other);
• Replace burned out left rear tail light bulbs.
• Put on the missing rear “Futura” hubcaps = ‘A Sleeper’, hence, “Sleeperdude”.
• Put the hood back on and if at all possible, retrofit a hood scoop to appear as if the scoop was an option by Ford.
• Change the 5.0 to 7.4!
Okay guys that’s my peanut gallery, 2 cents worth. This car has huge potential. Love it!
Them shop towels and zip ties won’t let you down!!
Facts
That wawa sleeper Montage was hilarious. . . impeccable😅😅😅
Glad you enjoyed it
Sleeeperdude family is rocken it
Absolutely
i checked out the comments.I agree with all the one that sticks out is better headers!! All that work poor thing cannot pump air. Great job family y'all make us proud. God bless and God save our Republic!!
It's 12 noon Central time, it is time once again for a SleeperDude video to be dropped and watched. I look forward to Saturdays now more than ever, this family is top notch and the video is always good.
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude Have you thought of going with a supercharger on any of the cars you build. Maybe for the Maverick "Grabber" it might be pretty cool. Whipple makes some very solid superchargers.
Josh, I just want to say that you have the greatest variety of subject matter of any of the "motor" channels I watch. Build, race, family vacations, animals, etc..... Please keep it going the way you do now. God Bless to you and your family.
I went to Brainard a lot in my early teens with my brother. He was a crew chief for a guy that ran in the 6:20 class and was dominant there in the late 90s and early 2000s. They used to call him the king of the 6 second class
The fastest way to blow out a bearing seal on your ezlube trailer bearings is to lube it the way you did. The "real" way to properly add grease is to jack up the tire, and rotate the wheel while pumping in grease. This has two advantages. Lest you push grease through a moving bearing without putting excess pressure on a static seal, and let's you "feel" how the bearings are doing (too loose? Too tight?) And make any adjustments necessary. Have fun! Love your family and your videos!
Ok thanks
You always say to check your rear end. Well, I'm gonna say, ALWAYS CHECK YOUR TWO STEP. Always check your two step. 😂😂😂😂
🤣
What wonderful memories for the kids. It did better than I thought.
Josh reality check, I'm 100% for ya, but it's hard cheering for Fairmont.
🤣we appreciate your support
Nivlac57 has a nice Fairmont drag car too😂
Thanks again for sharing yet another part of your lives with us, nice job at the track, you'll get it where you want.
Josh you know what it needs higher stall converter and taller gears .
👍
That lap vs the blue Camara was a YES!! lap. Ya'll have every reason to be optimistic the Fairmont can go into the 5's once ya get the bugs figured out and remedied. It was charg'n after that Camara SO HARD!!
Yeah I hope so thank you
Feeling down then along comes a Sleeperdude video to cheer me up!
Glad we could help
The kiddo's will always remember these times...
Its some of my best memories...
A guy at our church had a 65 Nova with a 427...
He took me & my brother every time he went to the track...❤
For sure
@@Sleeperdude
I had a 77 Monza Spyder in High School ...
It had the small V8 (305)
My brother had a 78 Monza & it had the smaller V8..(260 I think)
Not much dif in power , but they both were peppy .
Great job you guys will be in the 6s next time that 454 is wanting to go thanks for the show loved it
Your a BLESSED family in the truest sense of the word and thank you for recording it. We love this Show and we love y'all.
For sure
love the sound of the bikes racing
Yes
I miss going to the track had to sell my drag car a few years ago. Great to see you bring the kiddos, I use to love going with my family when I was younger.
Always love your videos. We can't wait for Saturday's. Ez Lube has specific procedures. Mostly making sure the hubs are turning while loading grease in. Congrats on the successful drag day. ❤
Ok thanks
Looking good.. Great times.. Again great video.. You will get it in the sixes next time.. Again?Great video.See you in the next video..👍🙂🙏🏻 You need about a 3:91 gear..
Halfway through and this is the most American video iv seen all day
GO SLEEPERDUDE 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thank you
@Sleeperdude just need a guy with a mullet and someone shooting guns in the air to make it complete 😂😂
41:15 you can definitely tell when the engine came in sounds great running good 👍🏻
Sleeperdude family at the track are my favorite videos❤❤❤
Thank you
Great job! So much fun to finally see this beast hit the track. Would love to see you buff out the paint!
Yes we are gonna do a cleanup and buff soon
Posting early to catch us out. 🤣🤣Thank you for the hour of smiles. Cheers guys. 2x👍
Thanks for watching
I really like the fact that so many people are doing LS and chevybig and small power house's in those old Ford body's putting a reliable motor in for the first time shows that you truly can fix the weak Link that has played heavily on my desire to have a Ford. Great video you guys have a great week catch you on the next video.
Thank you
OHHH YEAAAH!!! Get 'er dun gang!!! All The GOAT STOMPS!!! 😗💨
Thanks
I’m no expert but a guess I would say better exhaust manifolds and quarter mile track.
Congratulations on the tuning as you take runs.
I just fulfilled my life dream , I’m 7 day into owning a 550hp porche cayenne twin turbo .
Always wanted a V8 not easy in UK.
Great video guys. Looks like yall had a blast. Squeezie giving so much support even if it's not her favorite thing to do.
Yes!
Squeeze seems like she would like driving fast even though she don't seem interested in working on cars
@waynerohde1036 i totally agree.
It's about time you finally got a tire machine! My back would get sore just watching you wrestle with that old contraption. Your going to have to put it up somewhere like a statue lol.
Yes!!
Wow big daddy Brad it's like Bigfoot rarely seen But when you do you have to take a double take
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥺🤣🤣
That was Fun!!!
Thanks Love Y’all ❤️
Let's go again soon! Always a good day racing with the Sleeperdude crew! #MashTheSkinnyPedal
‘ . . . and the car’s still running!’ said Marge. I love it.
Yes!!!
On your next build, I'd like to see it pull the front wheels off the blacktop. You know you have the knowledge and are capable of building such an animal 😮 love this channel...
That would be cool!
@@Sleeperdude yes it would be very cool. Your Gremlin would be a great candidate for a wheelie popper🙂
Im literally on the edge of my seat watching this. Next summer imma go bacj to the races. See if i can race❤️❤️❤️
Another Sleeperdude Saturday! 🏁🏁😁
Hope you enjoy
Hi Sleeperdude and family we always look forward to and enjoying your videos. Love to all ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much
My husband ran at Wentzville, MO. with a 1957 Desoto back in 1964 and won a trophy. Fun times.
Woohoo Sleeperdude Saturday! I've been waiting all day, good luck Sleeperdude family 🙏🙏🙏
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@Sleeperdude I always do
So glad you ran Wah first. She really liked that , I bet!!!
Yes!
Wawa's face, 1st run was IMPECCABLE that was great watching her live life w/NASCAR blood running through her!
Yes for sure
48:03 that definitely fixed the stumble at the launch Josh left hard that time.
God bless you all and semper Fi. Lay some rubber.
Thank you
@@Sleeperdudeur welcome
Well hello from mt Morris Michigan . Really enjoy watching the family enjoying rebuilding , engine . To gather .two thumbs up guys . Josh good job as a father
Time for my Saturday Night Sleeperdude Show!
Yes 🙌
I always like to see your dad in the videos when you’re talking this and that about cars…you can just see the wheels turning with all of his past experiences
Wawa should run the bug !! 😊
I've had a few troubles with tires on my trailer I've got one about the same size as yours what I have learned is not to put them all the way to the max with the tire says bring them back down about between 5:00 and 8 lb so they'll have room for the hot air to expand and it helps stop you from blowing out tires man love watching your contents man from Missouri
Ok thanks
Wawa gonna have competition from Addy @Old Man’s Garage they are about the same age
Even the Eastwood commercial was awesome and entertaining. Good work team
Thank you
Great family experience. Thanks for taking my mind off this crazy election nonsense.😘🤓😎
1:05:04 first time out on the Fairmont you did good Josh.
Thank you
at 26:23 i was just thinking i wonder what my Veloster would do in the 1/8
now i know it will almost beat a Fairmont🤣
🤣
