This is YT, how could you not break out the electrolysis tanks and replate the fasteners.

I must say doing the old silent movie intro when your mic dies is fkn genious 👌👌

[@theskidfactory]

Haha had to leave jt in!

[@ShaunDavis-jl6fr]

Street & Strip was the term back in the day. Get handbrake setup from benchseat ute bolts in between sill & driver seat.

Literally came here to say this exact thing !!

Tuning in after having a busy few weeks, now I can give TSF videos the attention they deserve

[@brucejohnson6398]

You're killing it Woody. Attention to detail has it's rewards. Kevo has risen above being just a well thrashed skid pig.

[@dpaterson42]

You’re not wrong, the skid factory ,has evolved from charmander to charmeleon! Woody and your mates are killing it! 🔥

[@-MacCat-]

You're doing well Woody. Big kudos to you for spending time with your family and "keeping (your) head in check", as way too many of us forget how important those things are.

[@grantm1891]

Great to see you doing the little stuff like handbrakes. Brings back memories.

[@theskidfactory]

It's actually ridiculous how many "Built" cars i've seen that don't have a handbrake

[@jamesbaylis9438]

From being in the naughty corner for so long, he is now getting the love he so deserves. That first full 1/4 mile run is going be just sensational ❤❤❤ here's to KEVO

[@markproper9791]

love seeing this thing come together! About the throttle body orientation, the motor shaft hole should not be pointing at the bottom according to Bosch moisture can seep to the motor.

[@theskidfactory]

Good point! Didn’t think about that!

[@craigmandall9420]

Good to see Ethel again

[@fredericrike5974]

All the time you spent with Al acquiring all the skill and knowledge to turn cars like Kevo out are shining now! Big hand for keeping the time for your family- too many content creators have fallen to the "Toober's Disease" and it has cost them families and more; Don't be that guy! You may only get one chance to see your kids do something really awesome- don't miss out.

[@Stiffkovic]

Just had my VS resprayed in factory Panther mica, up there with one of the nicest holden colours for sure

[@theskidfactory]

Bloody beautiful colour!

[@richardallen1629]

Doing it wrong until it's right is the only way to do it with most things unless the consequences are dire. Thx for demonstrating mistakes are not just forgiveable, but 100% the correct way to learn most of the time. 👍

[@DaveT6080]

Tunes on B roll are sick buddy love it! keep kevo coming!😍

[@BigBoyLemonade1]

Killing it Woody, so awesome to see you back on the tools and building stuff. Thats what makes us watch and tells the story.

[@paulsaquascapes6881]

Keeping the al tradition alive by looking through holes in things

[@mantravision69]

Good to see the generous use of the squeeky hammer!!

[@niceverden9313]

Hey Woody, loving the regular uploads. I saw you cruising through Buderim a week or so back, I was the obnoxious bloke in the Flick Ute. Cheers bloke, keep up the good work

[@malcolmmackenzie9202]

I love the work you have done please dont rush things. I know things get frustrating but dont rush things because that ruins all the effort you already put in if you mess things up trying to finish quickly when frustrated

[@sullysshed]

Awesome progress Woody, the silent movie intro folded me, great ep brother.

[@aaronhogan2371]

8:49 Tape up the lid lip/ridge so paint doesn't glue the lid shut. Then tape a big V across the open area of the paint can so it pours out through a narrow area.

[@FuManchu5ltr]

Yep. This is the way.

[@Flitzer514]

That's a lot of work, keep it up.

[@theskidfactory]

All of the little things that take up all the time!

[@PaulMurphy-c8k]

Woody, I love your work, have been watching Al n you for ever. Stay good with your family because that's super important and this is from a very old Valiant E49 six pack pureist, now e39 BMW. Keep the spanners in hand while you still post these wonderful vids. Thank you.

[@garneymgroyala4232]

Woody has a knack for making these jobs look very simple. 👌🏿

[@malcolmmackenzie9202]

15:15 i agree the 5 Ps are very important

[@yowie0889]

Although it was technically six.

[@LemartesLogistics]

Loving the hilltop hoods reference in the after credits. "Its a swan" 🤙

Awesome episode this one, good to see things going together Looks like I’ll be in the shed tonight

Good work, dare I say great work.

[@TooOldToCare-kl3co]

Don’t tell him that, he might believe you 👍

[@xoxo98808]

Phenomenal work Woody! Thanks for sharing!

[@wa.gtrsoul]

"Up in the air" is when your build is in between streetcar or racecar. I built my car for 70% track use and 30% street duties, but in reality it spends 97% of it's time on axle stands.

[@ae86rally]

mine spends most of its time in the shed, its not nice to drive on the street at legal speeds and I dont get to the track as much as I would like.

[@eoinburke1837]

Loving the content woody. Can see you're putting in a lot of hard work and it's paying off.

[@OZHCR32]

Club car. A club car is between a race car and street car. Well that's what I call my caged street car that I track :)

[@connormather1649]

The inbetween of track car and street car should be simply called a sick car because if it can do both, sick!!

[@chrisgee2212]

Good to see Kev the Sicko coming on and to see Chris pop in. Great stuff 👍🏼

[@joshmunro929]

Very clean

[@671hammer]

masking tape trick is use two pieces of tape too make a V over paint tin, helps to pour and cleaner to reseal tin

[@insaneomcleano]

Great job Woody. Keep up the great work.

[@vumnoo]

Gee that's really good suffa what is that? It's a swan!

[@andrew1977au]

Much better content of late woodie, keep it up 👍

[@dubCanuck1]

Squeaky hammer!

[@wurlyone4685]

Really putting in the sweat equity on this one, Woodie - but boy is it paying off! This build is looking bloody awesome (and great to see you're still having some fun with your mates, along the way!). The five P's is definitely a thing and we've all been there 😁

[@andrewbrown9460]

Looking good Woody👍

[@markjones2390]

Kevo is coming along nicely. can't wait to see him in action

Another great video, kevos a sicko . Can't wait to see those 8 sec passes

Who needs audio when the car looks this good? 😁🤘

[@shanedonaldson5170]

Woody. You have done an amazing job. Progress much.

[@TooOldToCare-kl3co]

Can’t wait to see Kevo completed, even though it’s a Holden, be far too long . Hopefully put some decent numbers down. Keep up the great work, Al should be proud.

[@tonga007]

I’d say thats the best episode you’ve released so far wood. Nice bro

[@shanedale6090]

Woody, if you do end up putting the handbrake between the seat and door, find a HQ-HZ/WB lever as once pulled up it will drop back down so you wont smack/dig your leg into it while getting in/out of the car

[@AdamRangiaho]

it's always awesome seeing a job done well with great attention payed to both function and form!!! looks good and will blast....well done!

[@aarondibley2907]

Woody is such a mini me Al, but in his own right. Missing Al, but still loving TSF. Go Woody. (And come back Al :) )

[@heretocheckoutstuff]

Man this is so cool!! Loving the colours and fresh paint. Maybe you could run a Vg/Vs bench seat ute handbrake set up down next to the seat.

[@Beyondmadness89]

Wel done lads 🚀

[@MixMasterMark]

Woodrigos I have to record training videos for work and the outtakes on your episodes always kill me. I'm sure my neighbours wonder why they hear me repeating the same thing over and over and over again with giant swears in between :D Love your vids mate, cheers.

[@65Coasty]

Good work boys. Hopefully, we'll see Kevo out on the coast roads soon.

[@PC-fo8ld]

How good is that engine bay colour. Should do the whole car whilst you are there 😂😂

Super fancy 😮

Eagerly waiting to see you cutting shitties in this thing. Glad you got back on this project!

[@lewdog9647]

That green paint looks schmicko!

[@danielodea657]

Look for a 3 seater vr/vs Ute handbrake assembly they are mounted on the RH side beside the driver’s seat

[@wingoson]

Hey Woody you can get r31 skyline rear callipers and they bolt straight on with a holden disc and the handbrake then works the disc not the drum..

[@theskidfactory]

Yeah I looked at this as an option! Got it sorted in the end anyway, if there’s any more issues I’ll probably go down that path

[@mitchelllaverty7311]

HILLTOP HOODS REFERENCE WASN'T MISSED 😂

[@crowiesnest]

It the 6 pees .... think about it !!!!

[@yourhandleshouldbe]

Two pieces of tape, in the shape of a V, on top of the paint can (not the side like you had). I promise it works!! Makes a little spout

[@peanutgarage]

great episode Woody

[@daveg507]

great vid mate be your own man

[@ae86rally]

I had a single piece tailshaft in one of my Commodores and the factory handbrake cables used to hit it at the adjuster as they were designed to clear the 2 piece which sat higher than the one piece did where the rear section of cable connected. I also bolt the motor, gearbox, steering rack and crossmember (K-Frame) together and drop the car onto them. it allowed me to fit the power steering and extractors (pacemakers for 355 stroker are bigger) as they are an absolute pain to fit once the motor is in.

[@DanGitsham]

Use an Estopp hand brake actuator. They work very well.

[@dizza1993]

Do miss your dad though lol We at Kawana pub tomorrow night.

Hey man that's one sweet looking colour one the pipes. Kev's starting to look pretty shmiko.

It is wild to see something as late as a VR getting a resto treatment

[@seanhamilton4175]

30 years old now

[@michaelshannon4138]

I modified the handbrakes shoes on mine to suit big bearing. But I used the press steel type retainer not the 5mm plate

[@michaelshannon4138]

Try and find an OEM bench seat handbrake. Assembly. Bruce may have one

[@cpzmelbs]

What are the pressed steel ones? Does it do away with the annoying hold down pin setup

[@michaelshannon4138]

No the pressed steel axle retainers. Just the factory f truck ones. I just drilled a hole in the plate to suit the pin. Was able to use the vr pins. Think I just had to squish the u clip in a little.

[@Barry.ONeill]

That was 6 P's 😂 Drop the prior part 😂 Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance 👌🤙💯

[@dangdang3970]

Also if you having trouble finding vn-vs brake parts try a tractor / machinary shop, as some rollers used that model of calliper i found them on a massey ferguson tractor roller thing (was weird as the tractor itself had no front wheel) but im sure others were the same

[@cpzmelbs]

Potential Australian of the year advice tbh. For pbr callipers? I can’t find original part numbers or really any helpful information to use as reference tor brake stuff

[@CosRacecar]

Swan? Clearly that's a Lapras

[@woodchukka]

Try sticking the tape in the groove that the lid fits into. Should direct a lot of stuff back into the tin and the small amount that runs down the back will not fill the groove for the lid.
