914 LS3 - Episode 15: Can I get it right this time?

Out comes the drive train (again!) and I work out if there was/wasn't something going on with the throw-out bearing. After some silliness with the exhaust system, we fire it up and find out if everything really is OK.

Oh that's a mean sounding 914! That fabrication work on the firewall is pure art, well the whole thing is. Love it

[@robertmaynard8619]

Like that the kitty progress is in its own section, easily skippable by those who don't share an interest in it, there for those who do appreciate it. 😻

[@attheredbarn1669]

Thanks for the feedback. That's exactly what I hoped would happen. Appreciate your comments!

[@phenomanII]

I for one think that the kitty content might be the thing that ends up growing the channel. Everything else is already here - great work, style and creativity - it just needed something extra. Something cute is an excelent choice. The fact that it was just going on until you let us see the adorableness makes it even more magical.

[@attheredbarn1669]

Well, hopefully SOMETHING will get the channel to grow! I'm doing it mostly to document my builds so when the cars get put up for sale, I can point at all this and say "Here's total transparency. You can see everthing that went into it." But I'll confess, it'd be nice to see some bigger numbers! Ego, right? Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@m.hartmann1359]

I really love that you and Lori take care of the kitties and get them ready to go to forever homes. A very enjoyable snippet before jumping to car stuff. I think your videos of all of the work you do is so beneficial to the 914 community as it allows all of us to see what is possible. It's the prefect example of "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time". I can't wait until the next time my brother and I are able to make it over to the Red Barn. We will bring my car and I promise we will leave with it this time. Cheers Chris. Michael :)

[@attheredbarn1669]

"We will bring my car and I promise we will leave with it this time." Ha! Looking forward to seeing you both soon!

[@stevenpike7530]

Super clever…very relatable…twirled my interest on 914’s…excellent.

[@Johnny-Too-Bad]

"feels like it always fees" no better feeling after putting something back together as proof enough you did it right!

[@attheredbarn1669]

If it's worth doing right, it's worth doing twice! Wait, what? ;-)

[@paularietta6744]

You need to add a thanks feature to you channel so that we can support your channel. Love the cars builds (and the cats). 😊

[@attheredbarn1669]

Keep the views, comments, likes and all that stuff coming! That really helps the channel grow.

[@MayneRacing951]

Cute kitties and badass 914s, I’ll take it!

[@attheredbarn1669]

Right? Glad to hear you're enjoying!

[@slwtaco]

Glad to see you got the throwout bearing back to working with not too large of a hassle, good to see it running again :D

[@attheredbarn1669]

Thanks! Yep, Willie is right about it being "on the road again"!

[@kennethbrooks9818]

Beautiful work and attention to detail. Love cats too! Thanks for sharing your work and methods. It's actually inspiring.

[@attheredbarn1669]

Great to hear you're enjoying. Wait til next week - you won't belive the kitty progress!

[@tonyimbarrato5325]

Great show Chris, love the kitty update, firewalls and inspection access is awesome. The start up first fire was awesome!!! Love the Holley FI set up. My MSD fires right up, but still haven’t given it enough road time to trust it. Keep up the great work!!!

[@attheredbarn1669]

Thank you, Tony! I appreciate your support!

[@gcatwyo]

Kittens & Porsche's, what could be better?

[@attheredbarn1669]

Not a lot, right? Glad you're enjoying. Thanks for commenting, too!

[@bdtoel]

How exciting for you! Thanks again for the advice the other day as well. Best, Brian.

[@attheredbarn1669]

Hey Brian! Happy to help in any way I can. And you need to come for a visit. Talk soon.

[@richardmayer5240]

Cars and kitties. Something for me AND the wife.

[@attheredbarn1669]

You know me: Always trying to make everyone happy! ;-)

[@scottmcclintock3942]

GREAT JOB. THANK YOU FOR THROWING DETAILS. I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING AND START OVER. I WANT TO GO TO RENEGADE AND SEE IF THEY HAVE A DETAILED ASSEMBLE TUTORIAL.

[@attheredbarn1669]

Thanks for the kind words. I don't think there's any substantial manual but the good news is that it's all very straight forward. Renegade has a number of videos and they provided me really good customer service whenever I had a question. But remember, I modded most every part of their kit...

[@peterbonnez]

Brilliant, well done.

[@attheredbarn1669]

Thanks much! And thanks for subscribing/commenting.

[@peterbonnez]

@@attheredbarn1669 I'm enjoying your builds. I saw my 1st Corvette C8 today. And it was Right Hand Drive!.

[@ideabrickworks9043]

Love orange cats!

[@attheredbarn1669]

And those two guys are awesome. Wait until you see them next time!

[@AlexanderLarkin]

Nice work! Thanks for trhe great videos.

[@attheredbarn1669]

Thanks for subscribing, watching and commenting. It all helps!

[@kdlange6052]

You could use a proper cold air intake. It seems it’s right in the middle of all the heat exhaust triangle and up high where the heat rises. Also you have plenty of room to put a proper lift in. A two post to maneuver other projects around or a 4 post on casters plus you’ll have stacked parking when you’re all finished

[@attheredbarn1669]

I'm with you on the cold air intake. Just haven't come up with a design I like. My shop is just under 1000 sq. ft. and I really don't want to sacrifice space for a larger lift. Seems I'm willing to put up with some extra work for that. Plus, we have some ideas for the QuickJack. And thanks for watching/commenting!

[@Johnny-Too-Bad]

Oh, forgot to ask yesterday... why is there no two post lift at the red barn? With all the other goodies you've got in there.

[@attheredbarn1669]

I love the clear span floor and that I can move things around, a car can be up on the Quick Jack and I'm not losing space to the lift, I can park over it, etc.But a 2-post would certainly be easier. I am thinking about a MaxJack so I can move it out of the way when it's not in use.

[@phenomanII]

10:30 Could you possibly find a way to operate the jack contraption from the other side and orient it so that both operations move the car the same way?

[@attheredbarn1669]

That may be a solution. I need to update it since it doesn't really roll too well with a drivetrain on it so I'll look into that when I get to it! Thanks for looking out for me!

[@shenpensenge]

[@teefortony]

Is paint no longer a thing anymore?

[@attheredbarn1669]

Oh, it is. Just not yet. Once I'm sure I'm not going to change anything major, I'll consider paint. Thanks for subbing and commenting! I really appreciate it.

[@59vaughn]

Duct tape on the windshield..?!!...cmon ....get some tin foil or glitter at least...😝

[@attheredbarn1669]

Hey, come on now. It's Gorilla Tape! Duct tape is for cheap asses. ;-)
