will there be a release for the allied hoodies??!

*Al curb stomps front suspension* VO: "after the springs are carefully removed..." 😂

"Welcome back the the engine mounting factory" hahah had me in tears at the first second in!

[@Craigo95]

TSF has basically turned into an automotive comedy show 😂

[@Tilpants]

certainly makes the Monday's brighter since becoming a Patreon supporter!

[@steveveness3829]

A good thing in today's world!!!!!!!

[@Craigo95]

@Gus Johnson key word "fun" that's what it's all about 👌

[@Simon.the.Likeable]

Isn't that every car mod channel? Everything from Tavarish to Bad Obsession.

[@dropinbiking92]

As long as it's not the awkward forced stuff MCM pushes. I gave up on their 'personality' ages ago.

[@Hartbreak1]

“I’m testing the voltage!” and that’s why Woodrigo will always be a Robin 😂

[@wobblysauce]

... Maybe a Teen titan.

[@mattyallwood]

Nah man he is Nightwing!!! Dave is Robin

[@garethmcgregor1621]

Ha! Good shit I'm Spiderman

[@kierenalvarez]

Guess you missed the MR2 build... 😉

[@Hartbreak1]

kierenalvarez I don’t mean that. What I mean is that just like Robin ends up doing things without thinking and ends up needing “Batman” to rescue/scold him, Woodrigo ends up doing something without thinking like licking a battery to “test the voltage” and having Al to call him out 😂

[@MrOddy1234]

Not sick of the fab work ... love this show for this ... i think most people also watch bad obsession Binki ... its definitely the goods ... love all of your work and watching and learning bloody tops

[@weneakhborzable]

Totally agree.

[@Paul_VanGo]

We're here, because we are not interested in bolt-ons to start with anyway. So no worries there, mate.

The Skid Factory has come a long way when we see Al singing The B52`s Love Shack on camera....

[@larryr8492]

“Reality” show: rust bucket to show winner in one hour. Real show: watch Al. I like the boring “make it work well” parts, I learn a lot. Thanks.

[@carlJansenstar]

Al seems a lot happier this build than previous ones. Loving the banter between the two of you.

[@shaundevine007]

That bent valve trick👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻.. Anyone else see it?

[@andersjjensen]

Yup. It's a staple of the show like the mysteriously appearing 8-ball.

[@joorsh]

Missed it! Where in the vid?

[@shaundevine007]

Josh Roberts When they are bolting up the fly wheel.

[@Saebb]

I effin love the chemistry between Woody and Al: Why didn't you let me film that step? - Because you are fiddlin around with your own stuff! :) It's worth every freakin minute...

[@oldmanmonaroyt]

There is no rush to complete projects. I like all the small details on the Skid Factory, that is how you learn things

[@Tonzeff]

It's like listening to 2 kids "I'm Batman,... No I'm Batman" Absolutely love it!!! onya boys...

Kinda like your an essential employee... here's some pizza!

Got to celebrate the little wins 🥳

[@aka_vinnyb3080]

Maybe not quite 100k but few bob for sure

[@Baksteen_Express]

That's nowhere near 100k. It's a fair amount of money. But nowhere near 100k haha

[@JT-4real]

Dealt with Hafco and they are pretty awful. Bad sales team, poor quality equipment with only excuses for the lack of quality. Had to return presses that weren't aligned straight on the H beam and the excuse was" you get what you pay for" ,paid for next model up and same problem. Even the floor stock was the same poor quality which I found hilarious. Buyer beware.

[@leeharrison3276]

His voice over sounds like a breaking news report. "This just in.... lemon squashes are cold" back to you you in the shed Al.

[@backyarddeathtraps5831]

Word of the day "malleable" brought to by "Big hammer"

[@wraithcadmus]

Malleable (adj) - Re-shapeable with a big enough mallet

[@markwalton8644]

It's not a Hammer it's a persuading tool!!

[@davidfoster8076]

I love this stuff. I'm here for the 'boring' stuff - it's not boring! I love it.

[@aesthetic_mfr]

Someone's taste in music is on point when putting these together.

[@K4rt80y]

Smacking a 90 deg. bracket with a chisel for strength. I learned something today. Thanks Al.

[@PX125E]

It’s the best show on the internets. And it’s getting betterer

[@AndyQuinton]

You can really feel the love in this series.

[@truthseeker8483]

"Hi guys, it's finished now, lets go out and do some drifting" Al needs his baseball cap on backwards when saying that... :-D

[@Michael-yt8wj]

Should of made a video on the workshop change and new gear! Love to see that

[@Adrianzx]

there's a show that makes a lot of brackets on KZbin but I can't remember what it is either maybe I should have a cup of tea

[@Paul_VanGo]

Heard of the recent lock-downs? It's kind of hard to drive the 100km to the shed, when you're not allowed to. Plus, the partstores were closed. And now it's kind of back to normal, it takes some time to film enough content to broadcast. Be patient.

Hands down, the best youtube channel.

[@aaronbiggin1103]

There can never be to much grinding and welding and test fitting. Love your work Al. 👍

[@L337KidKuso]

Genuinely, the best bits - save the banter - are when you grind and weld and grind and weld and grind and weld. Keep up the great work lads!

[@MyHunt77]

Bad obsession motorsports are the bracket making kings!!! Awesome build chanel as well

[@fendel_]

not tired of seeing the fab work, it's why I'm here. To see the challenges and the thinking and the craftmanship that is needed in a engine swap. Congratulations on the new equipment, well deserved upgrades, hopefully it will all come handy in current and future projects and save you some time. We definitely need AL in a Batman suit in a future video!!

[@Strattos4]

Great work fellas. Glad you DO go into the detail rather than it be magically finished. I'd rather see the whole process.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I love a fabrication heavy episode, and you can never go wrong with another bracket ;)

[@Adrianzx]

Can I just say I love Al he has the best humor

[@5995Oblivion]

Bad obsession you have with brackets there Al. Might be a problem. =D

[@alexbrown1995]

Boom boom!!

[@hiboostchosh]

Definitely not sick of watching you guys build cars never will be mate, this channel is amazing, 90% of us here love the amount of detail you show us, iv been a car enthusiast my whole life 30 years hahaha and I have learnt more in the 2 years iv been watching you guys then then last 28 years of loving cars. Thanks a lot men.

[@eddleman72]

Definitely not bored... I've done a lot of custom metal fabrication and when it's custom work, it's just like you describe, in metalwork, measure and check many times before welding!

[@theFloxie]

The editing and angles in this are still top notch! 5/5 turbo manifolds

[@LRogan520]

Absolutely not boring , this what I want to see, all the work going into it...love ya work.

"After the springs are carefully removed".. Almost fell off my chair!..lool

Safety first😂

[@robertellison9655]

Love seeing the process, it’s more important to show this than the regular fluff you see on other channels of hey presto the engine just ‘bolted in’ and now we’re ripping 1200hp skids

[@MJMAC]

Turbos and torana's, doesn't get any better👌

[@sf2372]

Never sick of anything you do mate on this channel. Thanks for the insight I say.

Yeah. That Bracket Show. Haven't seen that in years!

so happy to see you use a bent valve to lock the engine old school baby

[@GaryMcilvenna]

I love these fabrication montages.

[@playwme3]

Do us a review vid on the new equipment. I’ve just moved into the “Forever House” with some decent sheds. Got a lot of crap already and having the same fun sorting it into the best spots. A few of those items you bought are on my to buy list.

Don't buy hafco, buy quality used stuff at auctions

[@0643052]

15:05. Thaaaaaaaank you for that reality check... Too much editing makes building car seem so easy... I plug you show to any kid coming in the shop with greater ambition than their wallets 😂

[@EddieSaldanhaOlson]

Always a good day when there's a new Skid Factory episode. Where I am (in the states) these usually show up on KZbin late evening. Perfect time while I'm relaxing to catch the guys working on something and goofing around.

[@IchiBrown92]

Pajeros are awesome! Nice to finally see one on the channel.

[@zeroyon4562]

Have you been following the driftworks pajero evo project? Well worth a watch if you haven't been.

Nice job boys, I do like all the real hard yakka that most don't see behind the scene. IT really is a labour of love you fellas have.....

Using a valve as a crankshaft holder was a nice touch

[@if66was99]

Al, you know as well as everyone, millions watched Nik Blackhurst grinding and welding and cad-ing and grinding and welding on Binky for 32 episodes. We that are here and subscibed LOVE it! REAL life.

[@PortysChopshop]

Who complains about this channel seriously? These guys are amazing!

[@jimboyne3385]

I have enjoyed watching every episode you guys have produced and I’m glad to see your company is able to grow and expand. The ability to purchase new equipment in any self-employed business is always a great thing in my book.

Love the "Holden 138 ci" on the rocker cover ;)

Not board at all with the content and appreciate the real work that goes into making an engine conversion happen. Best channel by far boys 👌

[@SilentKilla92]

Love the extra toys in the workshop, the fab content and workshop banter :D

[@jason35177]

Such a valid point they made. Conversions are VERY time consuming. I made an exhaust manifold for my escort turbo conversion. Dyno result revealed it was not so good. 80hrs later and it now has new homemade manifold. Conversion kits are worth every cent IMO 👌

[@jonowannous6893]

Never stop showing the welding and the grinding pls ty xx

Keep up the good work and good videos. I haven't gotten tired of watching you guys grind and weld yet.

[@jakeeclouse4799]

Show as much detail as possible. I could watch an hour of this or more at least. I can't ever get tired of watching Fab work especially when it's stuffing a jz in something. Most entertaining shit on earth. As least for me. So much creativity. I love this channel. Been watching since before the skid factory channel. When it was on mighty car mods.

[@davepainter2070]

Thanks for the informative content again guys. Skid Factory is the best motor related channel by a long way.

[@brendanbilly4183]

Absolutely love watching you grind and weld al

[@dylanf6091]

14:45 honestly watching almost everything that has to happen to get the swap done is almost more entertaining than skids at the end. I hate a 5 min video of a bare shell to an 800hp supra or something. No enjoyment. Keep it up boys 👍

[@TorqHub]

Yessss Al! This is the difference between Aussies who actually do the work vs the myriad of US chequebook channels. What we put out is real, and while we try to make it all killer with no filler, sometimes you'll get the odd 'quiet week'. But this shit is REAL, and those who enjoy BUILDING cars truly froth on this fabrication stuff 💪🏻😍👌🏻 Keep on killing it boys!

It’s never boring watching the work getting done, there’s always a good laugh involved, keep it up mate 👍👍

Mint job on the cross member Al. A whole lot of work just to get the bonnet to close. Also Congrats on the new workshop equipment. You never realize just how much you needed them until you have them. You might want to lower and bring to the edge your metal shear as it looks awkward and even fit bastards get hernias.

[@JR_406]

I think my favorite part of these videos is the outtakes at the end. 😂😂

[@johngibbs8345]

I love Al's attitude!!!! Seeing the reality of engine conversions is great! Next thing he will be doing his own 6+ year Project Binky! 😂
