Whoa, hold up! Did I just witness someone shamelessly swipe a TikTok video and pass it off as their own on KZbin? 🤨 That's like stealing someone's masterpiece and slapping your name on it! Talk about a major breach of trust and creativity! It takes blood, sweat, and tears to create content, and to have it blatantly stolen is just plain wrong. It's like trying to sell someone else's recipe as your own gourmet creation. Not cool, folks, not cool at all! Let's all agree to respect creators' hard work and give credit where credit is due. Otherwise, it's just a one-way ticket to copyright infringement city. 🚫👎 #RespectContentCreators #NotCoolBro

These steps were required with the condition of the paint and final results were great!

I paid cash for the car, lol, do you mean how much did i pay for the car? the cost of the car varies depending on the condition of the car. the cost of restoring also varies depending on how deep of a restoration you want to do. All in i think it cost less than $6000 including the car.

Quite enjoyable to watch! Curious why you went with the OEM oil pickup and baffle? With it being a weak spot in the factory setup, i figured a fresh rebuild would be the ideal time to do a Killer B pickup and baffle or IAGs.
@lucidwerkz4 ай бұрын
Since the entire car is going back to all stock, and up to the new owner if they want to modify the engine. It didn't seem worth it for me to spend the money on those upgrades. For a daily driver OEM is perfectly fine, if you start to track the car or go higher power then yeah Killer B is a great option. 👍
