00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,320
Thank you
3
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:34,480
well let's just jump right into things
4
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,099
so you've seen this 66 Belvedere
5
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:43,800
floating around here and there in the
6
00:00:43,801 --> 00:00:45,540
shop since we started the show and it
7
00:00:45,541 --> 00:00:47,939
was finished a couple years ago so you
8
00:00:47,940 --> 00:00:49,859
might be wondering what it's been doing
9
00:00:47,939 --> 00:00:50,549
here well Troy wasn't happy with the
10
00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:52,229
original paint and wanted it to be
11
00:00:52,230 --> 00:00:54,119
completely redone now that's a big
12
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,100
undertaking and that's what I call
13
00:00:56,101 --> 00:00:57,900
standing behind your work now to
14
00:00:57,901 --> 00:01:00,539
Warren's credit he had nothing to do
15
00:01:00,540 --> 00:01:03,119
with the original paint job but Warren's
16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,460
new paint job is so pretty that it's got
17
00:01:05,461 --> 00:01:07,739
me thinking that I might even be okay to
18
00:01:05,459 --> 00:01:08,279
paint a car blue that's against one of
19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,050
my own rules
20
00:01:10,051 --> 00:01:12,959
but anyway it's here to have the engine
21
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:15,719
and drivetrain completely gone through
22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,959
because after being used thoroughly as a
23
00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:18,958
race car the 526 Keith Black Hemi did
24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,749
suffer a little bit of damage and needed
25
00:01:21,750 --> 00:01:24,208
to be freshened up but now David Myers
26
00:01:24,209 --> 00:01:26,458
northern bell is back in business and
27
00:01:26,459 --> 00:01:28,379
Before Troy takes me for a ride let me
28
00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:30,599
give you a little background on some of
29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,840
- the things that makes this car so
- special
30
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:36,030
This car was built as a multi-role
31
00:01:36,031 --> 00:01:38,010
combat pretty enough to just be a
32
00:01:38,011 --> 00:01:40,110
trailer Queen but fast enough to hang
33
00:01:40,111 --> 00:01:43,379
with all-out race cars while not losing
34
00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:46,259
its former self in the process or the
35
00:01:46,260 --> 00:01:49,078
iconic good looks of a 60s era beat body
36
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:50,879
Mopar the car participated in a number
37
00:01:49,078 --> 00:01:51,659
of endurance races where it pulled
38
00:01:51,660 --> 00:01:54,780
itself from track to track like a daily
39
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:57,719
driver and busted out quarter mile
40
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,118
passes in the nines it also passed that
41
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:02,280
magical 200 mile per hour barrier in a
42
00:02:02,281 --> 00:02:04,259
standing Mile with a modest set of tires
43
00:02:04,260 --> 00:02:06,960
and a bit of ground clearance while
44
00:02:06,961 --> 00:02:09,300
tipping the scales at 4 800 pounds the
45
00:02:09,301 --> 00:02:11,280
northern bell is a study in contrast to
46
00:02:11,281 --> 00:02:13,200
say the least add all that to the
47
00:02:13,201 --> 00:02:15,009
signature looks of a rad ride by Troy
48
00:02:15,010 --> 00:02:16,818
creation and you've got a superstar
49
00:02:18,598 --> 00:02:21,240
so that's my quick introduction to the
50
00:02:21,241 --> 00:02:23,160
car and I'd strongly suggest taking
51
00:02:23,161 --> 00:02:24,929
another look at it on the net there's a
52
00:02:24,930 --> 00:02:26,849
lot of good info on this thing out there
53
00:02:26,850 --> 00:02:30,180
but what I really want to show you is
54
00:02:30,181 --> 00:02:33,000
the car in motion so the camera guy
55
00:02:33,001 --> 00:02:34,980
follow us in my sensible economy car
56
00:02:34,981 --> 00:02:37,439
I should just fly out of here but I'll
57
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,079
never find it they've already got an
58
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:40,079
advantage though in the fiesta yes I
59
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,240
mean if she uses all four cylinders
60
00:02:43,241 --> 00:02:44,900
boost Advantage yeah
61
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,090
I don't know what to buy that piece of
62
00:02:48,091 --> 00:02:50,340
that's perfect though it is but
63
00:02:50,341 --> 00:02:52,650
they tried talking to me in a turbo one
64
00:02:52,651 --> 00:02:54,810
isn't that eight or nine grand more I
65
00:02:54,811 --> 00:02:56,550
think I'm not here if I want something
66
00:02:56,551 --> 00:02:58,439
fast I'll buy something I know right
67
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,719
looking for something that doesn't cost
68
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,259
- them to drive exactly something
- practical
69
00:03:03,598 --> 00:03:06,658
And we were off to the countryside for a
70
00:03:06,659 --> 00:03:08,399
quiet leisurely Drive
71
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,157
got it still it is still out here isn't
72
00:03:11,158 --> 00:03:13,230
it
73
00:03:13,231 --> 00:03:16,019
That convert one squealing over there
74
00:03:16,020 --> 00:03:17,430
would be
75
00:03:17,431 --> 00:03:19,710
hey bird shut up NSM Birds started
76
00:03:19,711 --> 00:03:22,979
making noise and we couldn't let him be
77
00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:25,810
the only one disturbing the piece it's
78
00:03:22,979 --> 00:03:26,439
time to make some noise of Our Own
79
00:03:39,019 --> 00:03:41,638
I literally was quarter throttle I
80
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:44,817
didn't think it's been a tire yeah
81
00:03:44,818 --> 00:03:48,119
I didn't think it'd spin the tire like
82
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,699
that I thought it would just take off
83
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:52,560
because that's what torque is all about
84
00:03:52,561 --> 00:03:55,289
no yeah you're not uh you got a big
85
00:03:55,290 --> 00:03:57,728
blocking turbos yeah
86
00:03:57,729 --> 00:03:59,298
and I'm telling you we weren't
87
00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:02,218
three pounds of boost an amazing man it
88
00:04:02,219 --> 00:04:06,179
wasn't fun
89
00:04:06,180 --> 00:04:09,719
I mean you guys went out and did some
90
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,120
serious racing so just about any
91
00:04:12,121 --> 00:04:13,979
engine's gonna I mean just getting his
92
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:15,900
ass kicked right yeah what eventually
93
00:04:15,901 --> 00:04:17,819
let go well that cylinder heads that
94
00:04:17,820 --> 00:04:20,100
were done for this car were made for
95
00:04:17,819 --> 00:04:20,880
like big cam chef not necessarily boost
96
00:04:20,881 --> 00:04:22,740
because they couldn't get anything at
97
00:04:22,741 --> 00:04:24,990
the time or ran out of time so they're
98
00:04:24,991 --> 00:04:28,379
kind of thinner wall big Chambers yeah
99
00:04:28,380 --> 00:04:31,110
so with all the Boost and the four drag
100
00:04:31,111 --> 00:04:33,838
weeks four drag weeks and the uh uh
101
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,539
standing mild stuff and everything it
102
00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:39,417
finally just ended up cracking the heads
103
00:04:39,418 --> 00:04:41,760
there it had a lot of little fractures
104
00:04:41,761 --> 00:04:43,770
in them so then it was then it had
105
00:04:43,771 --> 00:04:45,840
blow-by so that's why we ended up taking
106
00:04:45,841 --> 00:04:48,000
it apart and fresh it up but it had not
107
00:04:48,001 --> 00:04:51,660
four drag weeks for that four standing
108
00:04:51,661 --> 00:04:55,019
mile events and a drag week on it yeah
109
00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:55,018
and then just a lot of driving so and we
110
00:04:55,019 --> 00:04:56,879
ended up getting a little bit of blow by
111
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,339
so that's why we took it apart and
112
00:04:57,478 --> 00:05:00,089
that's where we found all the cylinder
113
00:05:00,090 --> 00:05:02,309
heads were cracked and so they're
114
00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:04,679
brand new cylinder heads okay
115
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,719
so because now they have now I think
116
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,970
it's just it's life's just gonna be just
117
00:05:08,971 --> 00:05:11,009
driving it and enjoying it not racing it
118
00:05:11,010 --> 00:05:13,139
I was a little bummed to hear that even
119
00:05:13,140 --> 00:05:15,180
though the car had been updated to
120
00:05:15,181 --> 00:05:17,819
better than before it's not going to be
121
00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:19,918
going after any more records but hey you
122
00:05:17,819 --> 00:05:20,219
know something I know what would cheer
123
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:23,389
me up
124
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:33,059
oh my God that's a freaking burnout damn
125
00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:34,198
dude
126
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:37,038
damn dude
127
00:05:38,939 --> 00:05:41,300
yeah
128
00:05:41,459 --> 00:05:43,459
yeah
129
00:05:44,220 --> 00:05:46,859
damn man yeah man we got some heat in
130
00:05:46,860 --> 00:05:49,939
the tires now man
131
00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:53,758
looking on the field that is great
132
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:57,059
it looks like a tank just fired
133
00:05:57,060 --> 00:05:59,818
when David came to Troy he had a very
134
00:05:59,819 --> 00:06:02,814
specific idea about what he wanted the
135
00:06:02,815 --> 00:06:05,099
car to be
136
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:08,039
normally when you're building a car
137
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,560
that's going to travel over 200 miles
138
00:06:10,561 --> 00:06:12,659
per hour it has a Supercar look with
139
00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:14,639
huge tires in the back it's a barrel
140
00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:15,270
hanging off of it independent rear
141
00:06:15,271 --> 00:06:17,159
suspension just to name a few
142
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,679
characteristics this car is still leaf
143
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,959
spring with a fairly small Tire you'd
144
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,269
see this car unexpected to be faster but
145
00:06:24,270 --> 00:06:26,370
not as impressive as it really is gonna
146
00:06:26,371 --> 00:06:28,200
look under the hood shows a very
147
00:06:28,201 --> 00:06:30,450
detailed but still stock looking Hemi
148
00:06:30,451 --> 00:06:32,940
and hemis have a great reputation for
149
00:06:32,941 --> 00:06:34,500
making power
150
00:06:34,501 --> 00:06:36,360
but where's the magic that makes this
151
00:06:36,361 --> 00:06:37,380
car challenge physics
152
00:06:37,381 --> 00:06:39,419
it has two turbos hidden by the rear
153
00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:41,099
axle
154
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:43,560
now sure there's a trade-off for having
155
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:44,370
the turbos in the back but many experts
156
00:06:44,371 --> 00:06:46,500
have told me flat out that this just
157
00:06:46,501 --> 00:06:48,929
won't work well one of the reasons I
158
00:06:48,930 --> 00:06:50,759
love Troy is because he doesn't just
159
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,639
believe you can't do something because
160
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,579
people said you can't do something
161
00:06:56,580 --> 00:06:59,160
and a seat of my pants says these turbos
162
00:06:59,161 --> 00:07:01,459
- work just fine is this son of a is
- fast
163
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,619
This is an all-original 1941 Fleet line
164
00:07:10,620 --> 00:07:13,620
it's in pretty great condition it's
165
00:07:13,621 --> 00:07:15,930
packing the stock 85 horsepower inline
166
00:07:15,931 --> 00:07:18,270
six three on the tree Synchro mesh
167
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:20,340
three-speed trans with a vacuum assisted
168
00:07:20,341 --> 00:07:22,170
shift and heck I guess it's all really
169
00:07:22,171 --> 00:07:24,029
pretty Cutting Edge stuff for the time
170
00:07:24,030 --> 00:07:26,579
period but Troy and his team have been
171
00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:30,839
putting loads of time and energy into
172
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,039
making a modern Fleet line like no other
173
00:07:40,519 --> 00:07:43,349
you're probably familiar with what's
174
00:07:43,350 --> 00:07:45,090
been done to the car up to this point of
175
00:07:45,091 --> 00:07:46,979
construction the four-door was turned
176
00:07:46,980 --> 00:07:49,859
into a two-door featuring a one-off
177
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:53,098
chassis and independent rear suspension
178
00:07:53,099 --> 00:07:55,680
inspired by the new Camaro LT1 engine a
179
00:07:55,681 --> 00:07:57,538
10-speed transmission modern Corvette
180
00:07:57,539 --> 00:07:59,340
front suspension with fully independent
181
00:07:59,341 --> 00:08:02,120
adjustable magnetic shocks at all four
182
00:08:02,121 --> 00:08:04,679
corners completely handmade body release
183
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,598
featuring a much sleeker roof line and
184
00:08:06,599 --> 00:08:09,478
actually just too many things to mention
185
00:08:09,479 --> 00:08:11,219
like the 180 degree headers and once
186
00:08:11,220 --> 00:08:13,500
they were all done and fit into place
187
00:08:13,501 --> 00:08:15,360
the car went to the paint shop where the
188
00:08:15,361 --> 00:08:17,519
Bodywork was carefully done with the
189
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,335
best spoke Trim in place to ensure a
190
00:08:18,336 --> 00:08:25,519
perfect fit
191
00:08:25,918 --> 00:08:28,918
foreign
192
00:08:31,139 --> 00:08:34,020
the chassis went to be powder coated and
193
00:08:34,021 --> 00:08:35,849
eventually the body and Chassis found
194
00:08:35,850 --> 00:08:37,830
themselves reunited back in the main
195
00:08:37,831 --> 00:08:40,390
shop where the work on the interior was
196
00:08:40,391 --> 00:08:44,710
continued in the wiring began
197
00:08:45,259 --> 00:08:47,699
Adam already made the back seat from
198
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:50,280
scratch and it was fitted perfectly in
199
00:08:50,281 --> 00:08:52,020
the progressing Fleet line creating
200
00:08:52,021 --> 00:08:53,880
something that I'm fairly certain is
201
00:08:53,881 --> 00:08:56,220
more comfortable than my couch he then
202
00:08:56,221 --> 00:08:58,259
turned his attention to finishing the
203
00:08:58,260 --> 00:09:00,000
front seats it's an art form that
204
00:09:00,001 --> 00:09:02,039
sometimes gets overlooked
205
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,500
but what good is an expensive custom car
206
00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:05,160
if you can't ride in comfort as is too
207
00:09:05,161 --> 00:09:06,630
often the case
208
00:09:06,631 --> 00:09:08,550
the front seats were sourced from a new
209
00:09:08,551 --> 00:09:10,710
Cadillac but by the time Adam was done
210
00:09:10,711 --> 00:09:12,599
all that was left were the bones just
211
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,340
the frame and the electric motors and
212
00:09:14,341 --> 00:09:16,740
some finishing surroundings which are
213
00:09:16,741 --> 00:09:17,790
handy to keep around
214
00:09:17,791 --> 00:09:20,010
the ozone build that we did for West
215
00:09:20,011 --> 00:09:21,930
before had some DTS seats that were a
216
00:09:21,931 --> 00:09:23,669
little bit older than this but they had
217
00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:25,589
you know seven-way adjustable and seat
218
00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:28,139
heaters and lumbar support and all that
219
00:09:28,140 --> 00:09:31,259
stuff yeah these are a little bit more
220
00:09:31,260 --> 00:09:33,299
simplified for this 41 but we he did
221
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:35,039
want to retain the side controls because
222
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,958
they're they're more intuitive than
223
00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:37,618
having something move somewhere else and
224
00:09:37,619 --> 00:09:39,329
so yeah that was one of the things that
225
00:09:39,330 --> 00:09:42,240
Wes wanted was to keep those controls
226
00:09:42,241 --> 00:09:45,059
where they were because they're just
227
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,058
logical and how they operate yeah what
228
00:09:45,059 --> 00:09:46,199
he said
229
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,840
the fact is that the amount of planning
230
00:09:48,841 --> 00:09:50,910
involved in getting these seats put
231
00:09:50,911 --> 00:09:53,160
together is complicated and requires a
232
00:09:53,161 --> 00:09:54,990
great deal of planning much like almost
233
00:09:54,991 --> 00:09:56,970
everything else in the shop it also
234
00:09:56,971 --> 00:10:00,060
requires someone with tremendous amounts
235
00:10:00,061 --> 00:10:01,169
of patience and talent
236
00:10:01,170 --> 00:10:04,319
I'm laying out the cushion for the front
237
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,139
seat so the part that you sit on right
238
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,138
now I'm laying them out on the bench
239
00:10:07,139 --> 00:10:09,909
here and sort of the order that I'm
240
00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:11,299
going to sew them in
241
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,350
some of these I'll I'll glue down on the
242
00:10:16,351 --> 00:10:18,899
back side just so that they lay flat
243
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:22,199
where they intersect with another seam
244
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,480
here and then this white cloth here is
245
00:10:24,481 --> 00:10:28,700
called listing tape and it's just a
246
00:10:28,701 --> 00:10:31,379
manufactured single fold cotton tape
247
00:10:31,380 --> 00:10:33,959
and so that's used for sewing against
248
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,299
the seams this will have Edge wire in it
249
00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:38,639
like a paper wrapped Edge wire and then
250
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,458
that'll actually be tied down into the
251
00:10:41,459 --> 00:10:43,980
seams and I pull those the strings down
252
00:10:43,981 --> 00:10:46,379
against that wire that's trapped in
253
00:10:46,380 --> 00:10:48,360
there to hold down the insert and keep
254
00:10:48,361 --> 00:10:49,469
everything tight
255
00:10:49,470 --> 00:10:52,500
and the same amount of thought went into
256
00:10:52,501 --> 00:10:54,958
the door panels interior garnish
257
00:10:54,959 --> 00:10:56,759
moldings into the discussions that's
258
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,399
right I said discussions look it up as
259
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,379
far as this this door panel in
260
00:11:01,380 --> 00:11:04,200
particular for the 41 there's a few
261
00:11:04,201 --> 00:11:06,480
things that are sort of unique
262
00:11:06,481 --> 00:11:09,870
to this panel itself if you see the edge
263
00:11:09,871 --> 00:11:12,958
it's it's obviously thicker than just a
264
00:11:12,959 --> 00:11:15,899
regular door card absolutely I made this
265
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:17,699
framework on the back side
266
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:19,919
and it's and it has sort of a hat
267
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,259
Channel inside here with a flat piece on
268
00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:23,069
the back side this piece is stamped so
269
00:11:23,070 --> 00:11:25,019
that we can recess these clips inside
270
00:11:25,020 --> 00:11:27,180
here and then it's got this piece of
271
00:11:27,181 --> 00:11:29,939
aluminum bonded over the top well this
272
00:11:29,940 --> 00:11:32,640
piece of aluminum is only a certain
273
00:11:32,641 --> 00:11:35,579
thickness so that the leather is
274
00:11:35,580 --> 00:11:37,439
actually proud of this this here that
275
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,659
traps that clip in so these are
276
00:11:39,660 --> 00:11:41,640
completely serviceable if this was to
277
00:11:41,641 --> 00:11:44,278
bend you can heat this up a little bit
278
00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:47,039
with a heat gun and pop that thing off
279
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,899
and put a new clip in there so even the
280
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:50,639
clips themselves are serviceable without
281
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,820
having to take any of the upholstery off
282
00:11:53,821 --> 00:11:55,799
now the thickness of this here and the
283
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,720
reason that it's tipped over is to
284
00:11:57,721 --> 00:11:59,819
compensate for that late model door seal
285
00:11:59,820 --> 00:12:02,459
on the 41. this has to be a certain
286
00:12:02,460 --> 00:12:05,040
thickness like a late model door where
287
00:12:05,041 --> 00:12:07,500
the panel sticks out into the door
288
00:12:07,501 --> 00:12:10,259
opening into the interior because that
289
00:12:10,260 --> 00:12:12,839
door seal is so thick so on this car the
290
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,059
seal sits on the Inside Edge of the door
291
00:12:15,060 --> 00:12:16,920
and then this sits inboard of the door
292
00:12:15,059 --> 00:12:17,669
panel unlike a originally where the door
293
00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:19,919
panel came all the way to the edge of
294
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,659
the door and that I guess that keeps you
295
00:12:21,660 --> 00:12:24,539
from having like a big void when you go
296
00:12:24,540 --> 00:12:26,458
from the dash to the quarter panel and
297
00:12:26,459 --> 00:12:28,500
then on a lot of hot rods that door just
298
00:12:26,458 --> 00:12:29,160
kind of Falls in right this just looks
299
00:12:29,161 --> 00:12:31,379
like you know a part that came from a
300
00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:33,778
factory yeah this this is this is
301
00:12:33,779 --> 00:12:36,000
essentially one piece uh pattern so that
302
00:12:36,001 --> 00:12:38,278
so that I could stamp this this little
303
00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:40,200
shape into it I have some tabs that are
304
00:12:40,201 --> 00:12:42,838
welded on here and this is finished out
305
00:12:42,839 --> 00:12:44,609
uh this actually puzzles into that piece
306
00:12:44,610 --> 00:12:47,130
in the back and then the seal uh from
307
00:12:47,131 --> 00:12:49,409
that late model door seal actually
308
00:12:49,410 --> 00:12:51,960
catches the edge of this and so this
309
00:12:51,961 --> 00:12:55,320
tucks into that and then that seal
310
00:12:55,321 --> 00:12:58,320
actually sits behind this and then this
311
00:12:58,321 --> 00:13:00,060
traps the edge of the seal and the edge
312
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,750
of the headliner here and so this
313
00:13:00,751 --> 00:13:03,059
overlaps the headliner all the way
314
00:13:03,060 --> 00:13:04,569
around
315
00:13:04,570 --> 00:13:06,078
all right
316
00:13:07,078 --> 00:13:10,500
so the bottom bottom edge of these
317
00:13:10,501 --> 00:13:13,140
panels have uh carpet on them which
318
00:13:13,141 --> 00:13:15,390
serves a couple of purposes obviously it
319
00:13:15,391 --> 00:13:18,180
adds another material here which breaks
320
00:13:18,181 --> 00:13:20,458
up the panel nice but it's also
321
00:13:18,179 --> 00:13:21,159
functional to you know kick in the door
322
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,899
panel when you're getting out of the car
323
00:13:24,900 --> 00:13:28,019
the kick panels inside have carpet on
324
00:13:28,020 --> 00:13:30,419
them as well so the carpet's obviously a
325
00:13:30,420 --> 00:13:33,120
woven material I've glued it to the face
326
00:13:33,121 --> 00:13:35,039
here and bound The Edge so this binding
327
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,740
will get wrapped around the edge here
328
00:13:37,741 --> 00:13:40,319
but because the carpet's woven it's got
329
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,659
this irregular Edge to it so right now
330
00:13:42,660 --> 00:13:44,399
after I've glued it on there I'm coming
331
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,919
back and just cleaning up the edge so
332
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,620
that when this gets wrapped around
333
00:13:49,621 --> 00:13:52,139
it has a nice smooth transition without
334
00:13:52,140 --> 00:13:54,659
having these like lines or ripples in it
335
00:13:54,660 --> 00:13:55,830
from the carpet you see
336
00:13:55,831 --> 00:13:59,278
it's the groove I cut in the edge of
337
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:02,399
this panel because this has like a full
338
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,439
frame all the way around and then the
339
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,839
outside skin of this is actually bonded
340
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,700
to the face of this Frame cutting these
341
00:14:08,701 --> 00:14:11,160
notches in here structurally doesn't do
342
00:14:11,161 --> 00:14:13,740
anything to change it but it does give
343
00:14:13,741 --> 00:14:16,980
me some relief for the seam which you'll
344
00:14:16,981 --> 00:14:19,379
end up Landing in that little Notch and
345
00:14:19,380 --> 00:14:21,839
then what I did was tie it off the the
346
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,578
Stitch right here at the edge so that
347
00:14:23,579 --> 00:14:26,639
when it gets wrapped around the back
348
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,919
side we only have a single layer of
349
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,320
leather on this back side all the way
350
00:14:31,321 --> 00:14:34,139
around so when it's clipped to the door
351
00:14:34,140 --> 00:14:36,540
you don't have any doubled up layers and
352
00:14:36,541 --> 00:14:39,839
so you have an even gap between the
353
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,879
panel and the door skin itself
354
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,079
- after seeing Adam's work I'm not about
- to question this technique
355
00:14:46,078 --> 00:14:48,328
It's pretty funny to see someone
356
00:14:48,329 --> 00:14:51,239
pounding on beautiful Leatherwood with a
357
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,630
hammer
358
00:14:52,631 --> 00:14:55,969
not being an upholstery guy you're doing
359
00:14:55,970 --> 00:14:57,919
fabrication methods on it
360
00:15:02,159 --> 00:15:05,190
fast we went back to see that the fleet
361
00:15:05,191 --> 00:15:07,050
line was nearing completion and with the
362
00:15:07,051 --> 00:15:09,299
exception of some smaller jobs and test
363
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:11,459
driving as well as some of the final
364
00:15:11,460 --> 00:15:13,879
- programming the light was at the end of
- the tunnel
365
00:15:20,458 --> 00:15:23,490
Said even the bumps are pretty minimal
366
00:15:23,491 --> 00:15:25,619
they really are
367
00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:27,509
dialed in here too right now it's just
368
00:15:27,510 --> 00:15:29,340
in like a middle setting if you want to
369
00:15:29,341 --> 00:15:31,560
go softer you got another two song or
370
00:15:31,561 --> 00:15:32,940
you can go too long
371
00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:33,630
harder that's crazy and you don't have
372
00:15:33,631 --> 00:15:35,940
to get out and mess with it you just do
373
00:15:35,941 --> 00:15:39,139
- it from right there it's all done right
- there and then when we get in
374
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,959
Get in Scott what they would they get an
375
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,039
electron
376
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,020
IC jaw sensors and shock sensors so
377
00:15:46,021 --> 00:15:47,849
it'll actually electronically change the
378
00:15:47,850 --> 00:15:50,009
valving if it detects pitch in the car
379
00:15:50,010 --> 00:15:52,289
and it also has a throttle sensor and a
380
00:15:52,290 --> 00:15:54,860
brake sensor so it'll also change the
381
00:15:54,861 --> 00:15:56,230
front to back
382
00:15:56,231 --> 00:15:58,260
that's all dialed in in there too you
383
00:15:58,261 --> 00:16:00,120
can kind of see it coming then if it's
384
00:15:58,919 --> 00:16:01,679
got the sensor it knows you're given
385
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,259
input and then can Watch What Happens
386
00:16:04,260 --> 00:16:06,059
that's awesome one final change was that
387
00:16:06,060 --> 00:16:07,799
Wes decided he wanted the latest and
388
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,619
greatest transmission and when you've
389
00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:10,619
gone this far with a car why not so the
390
00:16:10,620 --> 00:16:13,379
eight speed was swapped out for a 10
391
00:16:13,380 --> 00:16:15,719
speed and at the time it was done it was
392
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,239
some pretty Uncharted Territory and some
393
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,579
very interesting findings were made
394
00:16:20,580 --> 00:16:21,689
along the way
395
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:24,239
but at the end of the day the team got
396
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,339
the transmission doing what it was
397
00:16:27,340 --> 00:16:31,820
supposed to do shifting a bunch
398
00:16:32,458 --> 00:16:35,518
this project is coming in for a landing
399
00:16:35,519 --> 00:16:38,600
- so I grabbed Adam for a quick walk
- around on the 41.
400
00:16:39,419 --> 00:16:41,958
Foreign
401
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,758
the back of the car coming around here I
402
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:50,760
don't know if we if we highlighted this
403
00:16:50,761 --> 00:16:53,069
much before when we got the card
404
00:16:53,070 --> 00:16:57,179
obviously had a stock rear bumper on it
405
00:16:57,180 --> 00:16:59,879
but Wes also sent a LaSalle Cadillac
406
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,039
LaSalle rear bumper and on the Cadillac
407
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,160
it said LaSalle and this sort of script
408
00:17:05,161 --> 00:17:08,099
font stamped into the rear bumper the
409
00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:10,919
rear bumpers on the Chevy from the
410
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,719
factory have a lot of nickel in them and
411
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,059
they're almost like spring steel so
412
00:17:15,060 --> 00:17:16,798
they're very difficult to modify you can
413
00:17:15,058 --> 00:17:17,548
cut them up and you can try using
414
00:17:17,549 --> 00:17:19,259
silicon bronze and that sort of thing
415
00:17:19,260 --> 00:17:21,360
but a lot of times they want to crack
416
00:17:21,361 --> 00:17:23,250
and get to the point where you know
417
00:17:23,251 --> 00:17:25,259
you're afraid if you do have a little
418
00:17:25,260 --> 00:17:27,058
fender bender or something that's going
419
00:17:27,059 --> 00:17:29,220
to crack the bumper and all this stuff
420
00:17:29,221 --> 00:17:30,298
so we actually made
421
00:17:30,299 --> 00:17:31,649
um
422
00:17:31,650 --> 00:17:34,319
Some three-wheel rollers with the right
423
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,549
profile
424
00:17:35,550 --> 00:17:38,069
and modified our three row roller and
425
00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:40,800
then made a die to stamp these edges so
426
00:17:40,801 --> 00:17:43,170
Rick started with a certain a four and a
427
00:17:43,171 --> 00:17:45,030
half inch width of Steel stamped the
428
00:17:45,031 --> 00:17:47,009
edges on the pull Max to tip them around
429
00:17:47,010 --> 00:17:49,048
so that we had the profile right and
430
00:17:49,049 --> 00:17:52,079
then use a three-wheel roller to bend it
431
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,019
to match the shape of the body it was
432
00:17:55,020 --> 00:17:57,058
bent after this detail was in it yep
433
00:17:57,059 --> 00:17:59,460
okay and on this bumper just to try to
434
00:17:59,461 --> 00:18:01,619
be subtle we we put these little duck
435
00:18:01,620 --> 00:18:04,440
bills here with just a little slit at
436
00:18:01,619 --> 00:18:04,439
the bottom and brought the the tailpipes
437
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,870
all the way out to that and contoured
438
00:18:06,871 --> 00:18:08,730
them to match so that they didn't just
439
00:18:08,731 --> 00:18:10,889
jump out and we don't just have a turn
440
00:18:10,890 --> 00:18:12,808
down at the back we don't want it to
441
00:18:12,809 --> 00:18:15,298
look like you know a street machine
442
00:18:15,299 --> 00:18:17,099
where it's got a big cut out in there or
443
00:18:15,298 --> 00:18:17,910
anything that's really a difficult
444
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:19,680
detail and that's something that went on
445
00:18:19,681 --> 00:18:21,599
behind cars in traffic you can tell
446
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,548
designers really spent a lot of time
447
00:18:23,549 --> 00:18:25,589
with just the exhaust tips and on
448
00:18:25,590 --> 00:18:27,660
something like this yeah how do you get
449
00:18:27,661 --> 00:18:29,489
two disciplines or not well it's right
450
00:18:29,490 --> 00:18:32,460
you know so right that looks and west
451
00:18:32,461 --> 00:18:35,579
west is Big about the practicality of
452
00:18:35,580 --> 00:18:37,319
driving the car and and we want to pay
453
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,058
attention to that ourselves on whatever
454
00:18:39,059 --> 00:18:40,980
we're building we need to have the
455
00:18:39,058 --> 00:18:41,670
exhaust get out past the bumper so it's
456
00:18:41,671 --> 00:18:44,160
not just sitting underneath there it's
457
00:18:44,161 --> 00:18:46,379
not blowing down on the ground and all
458
00:18:46,380 --> 00:18:48,240
this stuff you can see on this this tail
459
00:18:48,241 --> 00:18:50,100
light bracket these little these little
460
00:18:50,101 --> 00:18:52,259
beads these flutes in here that we kind
461
00:18:52,260 --> 00:18:54,058
of used on other components that we made
462
00:18:52,259 --> 00:18:55,440
so this is an original piece to the car
463
00:18:55,441 --> 00:18:56,550
okay
464
00:18:56,551 --> 00:18:59,100
um but you can see how that that shape
465
00:18:59,101 --> 00:19:01,440
sort of ties into some of the other
466
00:19:01,441 --> 00:19:03,659
things as well yeah yeah Lawrence
467
00:19:03,660 --> 00:19:05,400
actually measured this window opening in
468
00:19:05,401 --> 00:19:07,890
the back and I sort of Drew the profile
469
00:19:07,891 --> 00:19:09,720
of it so the way that this goes together
470
00:19:09,721 --> 00:19:12,780
we have that pinch weld in there the
471
00:19:12,781 --> 00:19:15,480
glass actually bonds to the pinch Weld
472
00:19:15,481 --> 00:19:17,279
and then has a gap to the outside and
473
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,200
then this is actually t-shaped so it's
474
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:20,040
rounded on the front has a profile here
475
00:19:20,041 --> 00:19:21,900
and then has a little spine that goes
476
00:19:21,901 --> 00:19:23,820
down between the glass and the body and
477
00:19:23,821 --> 00:19:26,010
then that gets bonded in after the fact
478
00:19:26,011 --> 00:19:28,229
so if this all had to come apart it'd be
479
00:19:28,230 --> 00:19:29,970
like a late model windshield you get a
480
00:19:29,971 --> 00:19:31,720
tool on the inside cut the glass away
481
00:19:31,721 --> 00:19:33,760
from the body the whole thing comes out
482
00:19:33,761 --> 00:19:36,779
yeah it was sounding pretty scary but
483
00:19:36,780 --> 00:19:39,418
yes you'd use the little knife and heat
484
00:19:36,779 --> 00:19:39,418
it up and cut it off yep we we talked a
485
00:19:39,419 --> 00:19:42,569
little bit early on these are Oldsmobile
486
00:19:42,570 --> 00:19:45,449
door handles the original handles on
487
00:19:45,450 --> 00:19:47,699
this turned in the body we did these
488
00:19:47,700 --> 00:19:49,829
with the push button so we could have a
489
00:19:49,830 --> 00:19:51,959
lock in the in the handle itself so
490
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,359
these weren't original to the car made a
491
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:57,240
little mechanism in there so that you
492
00:19:57,241 --> 00:19:59,038
could use a lock in the key
493
00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:01,200
um in the button here which it didn't
494
00:20:01,201 --> 00:20:04,259
have originally these are 55 Chevy door
495
00:20:04,260 --> 00:20:07,019
latches we just like the way that these
496
00:20:07,020 --> 00:20:10,140
um this little pinwheel in here latches
497
00:20:10,141 --> 00:20:12,779
the original Chevy is almost like a
498
00:20:12,780 --> 00:20:14,880
screen door latch it just oh scary yeah
499
00:20:14,881 --> 00:20:16,918
it's not that it it comes loose but it
500
00:20:16,919 --> 00:20:19,020
doesn't really hold it tight and there's
501
00:20:19,021 --> 00:20:21,419
really not that great of adjustability
502
00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:23,519
yeah so that's what we did with that
503
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,160
with the dovetail so that the door
504
00:20:26,161 --> 00:20:28,440
closes solid we did the double door
505
00:20:28,441 --> 00:20:31,019
seals we talked about that stuff early
506
00:20:31,020 --> 00:20:33,840
on so it's got this flange got this late
507
00:20:31,019 --> 00:20:33,838
model Silverado door seal that goes all
508
00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:35,159
the way around
509
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,090
and then what we talked about before is
510
00:20:39,091 --> 00:20:42,720
that trim panel in here stops short so
511
00:20:42,721 --> 00:20:45,119
that that seal can land all the way
512
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,569
around on this Flat Point here just like
513
00:20:45,570 --> 00:20:53,570
a late model car
514
00:20:54,980 --> 00:20:58,078
if you look across I have the door panel
515
00:20:58,079 --> 00:21:01,918
mocked up in the quarter panel and you
516
00:21:01,919 --> 00:21:04,980
can see that seal kind of lands on the
517
00:21:04,981 --> 00:21:07,570
edge but when we try to make it as
518
00:21:07,571 --> 00:21:09,319
inconspicuous as possible
519
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,159
oh
520
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,098
So a few of the things like in the dash
521
00:21:17,099 --> 00:21:19,858
we aren't really big on
522
00:21:19,859 --> 00:21:23,459
having a big double DIN uh stereo in the
523
00:21:23,460 --> 00:21:26,550
middle of a 41 Dash yeah I know it
524
00:21:26,551 --> 00:21:29,069
happens all the time but stereo
525
00:21:29,070 --> 00:21:31,709
components Advance like every two weeks
526
00:21:31,710 --> 00:21:33,690
yes so having that in there that's it
527
00:21:33,691 --> 00:21:35,910
you look inside you're like oh okay well
528
00:21:35,911 --> 00:21:38,939
that unit was from three years ago so I
529
00:21:38,940 --> 00:21:41,700
know when the car was built it's just
530
00:21:41,701 --> 00:21:43,380
it's a stupid thing but anyway we tried
531
00:21:43,381 --> 00:21:45,960
to get something as subtle as possible
532
00:21:45,961 --> 00:21:47,640
to go there because practicality reasons
533
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,600
you're going to want a radio anyway so
534
00:21:48,601 --> 00:21:49,949
right
535
00:21:49,950 --> 00:21:52,379
um Casey Casey made a lot of that stuff
536
00:21:52,380 --> 00:21:54,450
to to incorporate that as well as we
537
00:21:54,451 --> 00:21:56,520
could along with the console it's not in
538
00:21:56,521 --> 00:21:58,320
here right now that he also made
539
00:21:58,321 --> 00:21:59,369
um
540
00:21:59,370 --> 00:22:03,240
So some of the other things on the dash
541
00:22:03,241 --> 00:22:05,880
we tried to incorporate like AC control
542
00:22:05,881 --> 00:22:08,460
so that they look like they belong this
543
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,459
is an original Grill piece for the for
544
00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:11,610
the dash here for the
545
00:22:11,611 --> 00:22:14,550
speaker in the middle original gauges at
546
00:22:14,551 --> 00:22:17,040
least a configuration on this side
547
00:22:17,041 --> 00:22:19,469
in the glove box
548
00:22:19,470 --> 00:22:22,019
um that active suspension control is
549
00:22:22,020 --> 00:22:24,420
right here so this actually Scrolls
550
00:22:24,421 --> 00:22:27,960
through your other your four options for
551
00:22:27,961 --> 00:22:31,979
your suspension settings and then other
552
00:22:31,980 --> 00:22:35,100
than that we Dakota Digital we worked
553
00:22:35,101 --> 00:22:37,558
with them on the gauges in this we
554
00:22:37,559 --> 00:22:39,899
actually machine the face it's all of
555
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:41,639
their internals their LED screens and
556
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,620
everything the nice thing about this is
557
00:22:43,621 --> 00:22:46,679
these original gauges over here are so
558
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,839
small it's really hard to tell what it's
559
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,298
actually reading even though they have a
560
00:22:51,299 --> 00:22:53,639
digital signal now to tell that analog
561
00:22:51,298 --> 00:22:54,450
needle where to be it's still a guess I
562
00:22:54,451 --> 00:22:56,820
mean the numbers are two inches away
563
00:22:56,821 --> 00:22:58,619
from where the needle is you can't even
564
00:22:58,620 --> 00:23:00,480
like really tell oh yeah but the nice
565
00:23:00,481 --> 00:23:02,579
thing about the LED is it's Incorporated
566
00:23:02,580 --> 00:23:04,440
with all the same sensors so if you have
567
00:23:02,579 --> 00:23:05,249
something that's out of spec or this
568
00:23:05,250 --> 00:23:07,558
entire screen will light up tell you
569
00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:10,259
your coolant level is too high or oil
570
00:23:10,260 --> 00:23:13,079
pressure dropped or whatever and so it's
571
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,939
a big warning light and that's something
572
00:23:14,940 --> 00:23:17,969
that Wes wanted so these gauges you can
573
00:23:17,970 --> 00:23:21,000
program them to have whatever needle
574
00:23:21,001 --> 00:23:23,580
color you want whatever color out here
575
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,578
you can you can scroll through this to
576
00:23:23,579 --> 00:23:24,598
tell it
577
00:23:24,599 --> 00:23:27,839
what you want the display to say so this
578
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,449
one obviously has a clock over here
579
00:23:30,450 --> 00:23:33,729
right now a trip meter this has miles
580
00:23:33,730 --> 00:23:36,249
per hour like gear you're in right now
581
00:23:36,250 --> 00:23:38,219
but you can you can have it tell you
582
00:23:38,220 --> 00:23:40,019
whatever you want well I said I think
583
00:23:40,020 --> 00:23:41,819
clear back in episode one that this was
584
00:23:41,820 --> 00:23:43,919
going to be one of the most
585
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,839
technologically advanced hot rods ever
586
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,538
built and I I stand by that to this day
587
00:23:48,539 --> 00:23:50,339
because whoa and then with the LT1 being
588
00:23:50,340 --> 00:23:52,200
direct injected as a 10-speed
589
00:23:50,339 --> 00:23:52,920
transmission independent rear end the
590
00:23:52,921 --> 00:23:55,740
electronic shocks and I mean it's just
591
00:23:55,741 --> 00:23:59,460
where do you stop GPS you know on and on
592
00:23:59,461 --> 00:24:01,620
so Casey laid these out
593
00:24:01,621 --> 00:24:04,259
um these pieces fit in here to framework
594
00:24:01,619 --> 00:24:04,258
these cars actually have a lot of
595
00:24:04,259 --> 00:24:06,989
clearance to the bottom of the door
596
00:24:06,990 --> 00:24:09,359
inside here and they actually had a
597
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:11,609
vulcanized rubber mat that went here
598
00:24:11,610 --> 00:24:13,349
originally that went through that and
599
00:24:13,350 --> 00:24:16,380
then there are holes underneath here and
600
00:24:16,381 --> 00:24:18,900
they had like a quarter turn tab that
601
00:24:18,901 --> 00:24:22,080
held that rubber piece in so what we did
602
00:24:22,081 --> 00:24:24,120
is these have a ribbed rubber insert to
603
00:24:22,079 --> 00:24:24,759
go inside here this will be powder
604
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,909
coated
605
00:24:27,910 --> 00:24:31,620
for durability and then this this little
606
00:24:31,621 --> 00:24:34,230
piece in the middle has this tag that
607
00:24:34,231 --> 00:24:36,930
Lawrence machined we obviously did the
608
00:24:36,931 --> 00:24:40,200
font for sort of the era of the car so
609
00:24:40,201 --> 00:24:43,319
those inserts will go in there this will
610
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,480
probably be dark gray the ribs are black
611
00:24:45,481 --> 00:24:47,430
rubber and then this will have a real
612
00:24:47,431 --> 00:24:50,339
short inner door sill in here as well to
613
00:24:50,340 --> 00:24:52,799
finish off the edge of the carpet and
614
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,339
- finish out against the inside of the
- seal as well
615
00:24:58,319 --> 00:25:01,590
So this this may be the first time that
616
00:25:01,591 --> 00:25:04,740
you guys have seen it completely put
617
00:25:04,741 --> 00:25:06,538
together yes um
618
00:25:06,539 --> 00:25:08,579
so you can see all the panels and
619
00:25:08,580 --> 00:25:10,260
everything the the pieces that that
620
00:25:10,261 --> 00:25:13,619
Casey made up here to close off the top
621
00:25:13,620 --> 00:25:15,060
of our radiator
622
00:25:15,061 --> 00:25:17,399
again a lot of practicality things go
623
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,319
into this and trying to make it look as
624
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,569
good as it can for what we're doing this
625
00:25:21,570 --> 00:25:24,480
had a real tall radiator originally came
626
00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:27,000
up came up in here we have a section
627
00:25:27,001 --> 00:25:29,819
Hood so we have a much lower area in the
628
00:25:29,820 --> 00:25:32,579
front here but also for the sake of you
629
00:25:32,580 --> 00:25:35,158
know a lot of street rods have
630
00:25:35,159 --> 00:25:37,500
um have a radiator that's like that and
631
00:25:37,501 --> 00:25:39,299
Wes asked if we could do a cross flow
632
00:25:39,300 --> 00:25:41,159
Radiator in it well you only have this
633
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,220
much room if you're fitting it within
634
00:25:44,221 --> 00:25:46,200
the original core support so we made a
635
00:25:46,201 --> 00:25:49,200
much wider core support that utilizes
636
00:25:49,201 --> 00:25:52,140
the full width of the Grille and so you
637
00:25:52,141 --> 00:25:54,720
have a radiator that's much wire wider
638
00:25:54,721 --> 00:25:56,580
with a with a bigger core but then it
639
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,419
adds a bunch of other obstacles how do
640
00:25:57,420 --> 00:25:59,189
you Shield it off so that you're closing
641
00:25:59,190 --> 00:26:01,170
closing off the grill getting all the
642
00:26:01,171 --> 00:26:03,270
air into the radiator then how do you
643
00:26:03,271 --> 00:26:05,249
get the radiator out how do you fill the
644
00:26:05,250 --> 00:26:07,019
radiator you know is there an overflow
645
00:26:07,020 --> 00:26:09,740
in all these things so we've done a lot
646
00:26:09,741 --> 00:26:11,329
of things to to
647
00:26:11,330 --> 00:26:14,259
accommodate that as far as
648
00:26:14,260 --> 00:26:16,710
you know you fill the radiator here the
649
00:26:16,711 --> 00:26:19,859
overflow tank is inside the wheel well
650
00:26:19,860 --> 00:26:22,319
we have a little sight glass here so
651
00:26:19,859 --> 00:26:23,019
that you know how much fluid is in the
652
00:26:23,020 --> 00:26:25,360
Overflow table
653
00:26:25,361 --> 00:26:27,899
another practicality thing is the the
654
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:30,119
inner fenders have the louvers in them
655
00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:32,549
just for air to escape from from the
656
00:26:32,550 --> 00:26:36,120
engine compartment to help with Cooling
657
00:26:36,121 --> 00:26:40,919
Zach Ingram and z-rods actually machine
658
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,219
the hat for us for the LT here and
659
00:26:44,220 --> 00:26:46,440
mostly because Lawrence was so
660
00:26:44,220 --> 00:26:47,249
overloaded at the time that we needed
661
00:26:47,250 --> 00:26:49,558
somebody else to help and I think we
662
00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:52,319
talked about that before and they did an
663
00:26:49,558 --> 00:26:52,318
excellent job with it Lawrence had
664
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,788
already
665
00:26:54,789 --> 00:26:57,479
designed and machined the valve covers
666
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,820
for it and they took that design and
667
00:26:59,821 --> 00:27:02,040
Incorporated it into this hat here so
668
00:27:02,041 --> 00:27:05,519
this is the only only one like that for
669
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,629
for the LT
670
00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:08,370
um yeah yeah definitely unique and those
671
00:27:08,371 --> 00:27:10,079
are unique too I think a lot of people
672
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,400
don't know how many challenges are
673
00:27:11,401 --> 00:27:14,639
presented when they went to direct
674
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,860
injection yep everything from tuning to
675
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,670
the Scavenging system on these is pretty
676
00:27:17,671 --> 00:27:20,099
complex as well isn't it like getting
677
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,879
rid of the the positive crankcase
678
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,278
pressure and all that is yep and that's
679
00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:25,980
what that's what all these lines are
680
00:27:25,981 --> 00:27:28,740
here is tank the the way that it's
681
00:27:28,741 --> 00:27:31,500
pulling pulling all that stuff in has
682
00:27:28,740 --> 00:27:31,499
this has this box here and we really
683
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:33,900
didn't mess with any of that stuff
684
00:27:33,901 --> 00:27:36,659
because trying to re-engineer that yeah
685
00:27:36,660 --> 00:27:39,659
they have millions of dollars in like
686
00:27:36,659 --> 00:27:39,658
sorting out that working just right and
687
00:27:39,659 --> 00:27:42,659
and that's one of the things you got to
688
00:27:42,660 --> 00:27:45,720
be smart enough to say okay we're gonna
689
00:27:45,721 --> 00:27:47,700
make it as clean as we can sure but but
690
00:27:47,701 --> 00:27:49,620
leave the engineering side alone because
691
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:50,219
we we need it to function well and you
692
00:27:50,220 --> 00:27:52,439
managed to just with a choice of
693
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,658
fittings and and lines and everything
694
00:27:54,659 --> 00:27:56,580
look really sharp yep I like that stuff
695
00:27:56,581 --> 00:27:58,260
though I think it actually adds to the
696
00:27:58,261 --> 00:28:00,899
you know the mechanical look of it so
697
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:02,640
and Troy made all these lines and and
698
00:28:02,641 --> 00:28:03,990
these have like a
699
00:28:03,991 --> 00:28:06,299
um push push on an O-ring so once you
700
00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:09,658
have the components in place it drops
701
00:28:09,659 --> 00:28:12,000
down and so there's no no clamps or
702
00:28:12,001 --> 00:28:14,159
anything on it and then for the sake of
703
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,964
like servicing you take the box out and
704
00:28:14,965 --> 00:28:21,469
all the lines disconnect
705
00:28:22,099 --> 00:28:25,108
in order to catch up to the fleet line
706
00:28:25,109 --> 00:28:26,820
in its finished State we headed to
707
00:28:26,821 --> 00:28:28,800
Columbus Ohio where the car was a big
708
00:28:28,801 --> 00:28:30,570
hit with the crowd and with the judges
709
00:28:30,571 --> 00:28:33,179
too apparently because it won Street
710
00:28:33,180 --> 00:28:35,460
brought of the year which is a highly
711
00:28:35,461 --> 00:28:37,140
competitive category I mean these poor
712
00:28:37,141 --> 00:28:39,298
judges must go home with ulcers after
713
00:28:39,299 --> 00:28:42,120
the show because the competition is so
714
00:28:42,121 --> 00:28:44,460
stiff at any rate congratulations to the
715
00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:45,210
owners Wes and Vivian Rydell and the
716
00:28:45,211 --> 00:28:47,170
crew at rad rides for their hard-earned
717
00:28:47,171 --> 00:28:48,380
victory
718
00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:51,689
it was really great seeing Rydell's 41
719
00:28:51,690 --> 00:28:54,359
progress from its early stages to where
720
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,050
it is now and hopefully someday I'll
721
00:28:56,051 --> 00:28:57,740
find myself behind the steering wheel
722
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,059
there is another car here that is ready
723
00:29:03,060 --> 00:29:04,990
for some driving and I've already got
724
00:29:04,991 --> 00:29:06,139
the key
725
00:29:06,359 --> 00:29:09,659
and I took the family on a vacation to
726
00:29:09,660 --> 00:29:11,819
see its owner absolutely obliterate one
727
00:29:11,820 --> 00:29:13,770
of the most important land speed records
728
00:29:13,771 --> 00:29:15,930
ever at the Bonneville Salt class keep
729
00:29:15,931 --> 00:29:18,720
an eye out for that and more on the next
730
00:29:18,721 --> 00:29:23,410
episode of rad rides by Troy
