[@eugenecastles7475]

good morning, I've been looking to see the Beauty getting beast installed, here we go!

[@frogwizard5637]

George you nailed it with the numerous camera angles!

[@davemiller6893]

"Ladies and gentlemen and the Oscar for best car video on KZbin 2022 is, Nicks Garage, the Beauty and the beast."

[@eugenecastles7475]

I had the feeling that the headers would be a problem during the install. I've had my share of problems installing headers for people over the years. The worst car was a 1969 GTO. It took me 3 days and there were plenty of issues during the install. I finally got it done, but it was a royal pain. Nick I'm sorry that you had to remove the header, and I agree with your words, about headers being a pain.

[@friartuck357tuck4]

I can't imagine how pumped Eugene is to see his car today. Great work guys!

[@danpatterson8009]

Experience and preparation make this look so civilized. All I could think of was a much-younger me lying on my back in the snow trying to wrestle a starter out of my old 'Cuda.

[@pavloosh]

Awesome episode of Nick's Garage. Eugene must be absolutely thrilled. The pieces are coming together.

[@scottkovacs7634]

I'm loving watching Eugene's 500 come back to life.

[@douglasb9105]

Very THRILLING episode. I found myself holding my breath more than once. This project is really a labor of love!👍👍👍

[@kingearl2596]

Even thousands of Kilometers away in Vienna, Austria, you are a well known Engine and Musclecar specialist - Chapeau!

[@sjd7188]

Not many shops like this where the owner is out on the floor doing the work. Nick is special. Great looking job.

[@chrisvig123]

Installing headers on a big block car is always a PITA…no matter how careful you are they always get all banged up 😯

[@throttle_down_beers_up]

I bet Eugene is chomping at the bit to hear that 440 come to life. I am too believe me it's gonna sound nice with those headers. Manny is the most patient mechanic I've seen. His attention to detail and precision is second to none. Good job to all nick and crew!

[@mikestackhouse9001]

It's like seeing a baby born for the first time. Your eyes just get wider and wider and you grin from ear to ear! Before you know it, Eugene will be taking home his "baby" and we will hear and see it "squawk". Great teamwork on this, perfect video angles. Color me Y2 yellow happy. Boy, that 440 looks pretty in there!

[@4ondflor]

Those black wheels look fantastic on that yellow- what a combo! Congratulations Eugene!

[@steveedwards1072]

THIS video had my 100% undivided attention for sure. It’s a true work of art. All of you, especially Eugene, must be proud! Peace

[@LeeBlaske]

That car is turning out so beautifully, it might need to be put into a glass case in a museum somewhere. ;)

[@prunesquallor3444]

Does KZbin have some kind of award for best camera work. I would nominate this episode of Nick’s Garage in a heartbeat. Thanks for all the effort in giving us the best possible videos.

[@mikeshultz1007]

When I install engines and transmissions from below on the lift I found it's best to install the rear suspension and differential first to act as a counterweight.

[@RBCharger]

As a carpenter, I recommend that you start with a plumb bob from the bolt holes on the frame to the holes on the K member. That would take a lot of guess work and worry out of lowering the car onto the engine. If you don't have a plumb bob, all you need is a piece of string tied on to a bolt. You could check different spots in the engine bay to see if everything like your headers will clear.
