Hi there. I was a panel beater at a HOLDEN crash shop in Brisbane in1982, Great build , Hard work and hard $$.

[@Fishallies]

Would love to see this take on Hotrod Dragweek next year! Add more Aussies to the list.

[@slowlearner984]

SM Drag week would be a good start. I can't believe how stealth that motor is. 1300hp looks almost factory.

[@mellowmarshellow9481]

"Don't wanna push it too hard at the moment" (makes 1300+hp) Love it😂

[@7071t6]

yet never seen it in drag challenge ,hum wonder why, always on a trailor ?

[@carbonharmonics]

Well done Lads, Top Job. F The haters who don't have the skill, ability, contacts and finances to do what you've done. Your work speaks for itself. Well deserved front cover of SM.

[@sacrificialrubber779]

Absolutely beautiful car. I love how you Australians a car beautiful and fast at the same time! Much success with that car! And may it always stay shiny side up!

[@troymatthews668]

3 years later and there is no double like button... come on KZbin 😂😂😂

[@DarrenCoull]

Incredible car guys, well done! The quality of everything on this build is top notch and a testament to the skills of everyone involved.

[@-DEATHSTROKE]

Built it, drove it, dragged it, got in the 8s with ease, grass evented it and dynod the cunt, that's fucking unreal!!!!! That's street machine of the year material!

[@Abe.Wassenstein]

Painted it again? I liked the grey.

[@matthewskaggs3792]

Love how playing it safe still yields 1350hp!

[@JoshuaHardie]

Love how secretive the paint was meant to be, and all it turned out to be was blue.

[@JanionIndustries]

Could see it at several times in the paint episode and if you used general sense you could work out that it would be a similar colour to the lift due to the shading

[@baddazzgarage2953]

Man great achievement to get on street machine cover! To get on a magazine cover in the states your looking at 2 to 4 year builds not a few months!! Nice blue meani replica !!!

[@bondisteve3617]

I'm following Warbird and Auto restos on "The Tube" in Aus and the US. Your effort matches and even surpasses what I have seen thus far. You are amazing! Best wishes.

[@callenbray8703]

As a car guy he's chilled, but hit the drags and it's all numbers

[@davidwindsor2866]

Very close to 7sec's top effort. Done well enjoy. Built right to last. Like the Brock tibuite

[@danozism]

Brilliant build. Attention to detail is insane... Just got into this, sorry for lateness. Love your work. And quick AF in all respects!

[@markjmaxwell9819]

Love it guys Great job looks awesome When i was working at Holden in Dandenong, the vl turbo was the king. And now you guys have built a seven second GM Holden show car very impressed. And sevens are harder than people think ;-)

[@ITSAGOA1]

what a machine ... stunning colour and she goes alright ay ....

[@Jaceftho146]

Excellent work boys 👍👍👍

[@muggs8693]

Animal of a car, can't wait to see it race at Calder

[@boostedbuiltgarage]

LOVE IT! "Don't wanna push it too hard..." - Makes 1350 odd HP😂

[@jmcintosh4517]

Awesome work boys! Loved the videos from ground up.

[@robertarchbold8658]

Awesome car guys!

[@_TheBreaker_]

Great looking tuff car. Saw it at RCN going hard. good job fellas

[@Designandrew]

jezus it was all over the track on that first run!

[@ashbroome8558]

Love this series but really disappointed there wasn't more too it!!!

[@munro3274]

Awesome car Loved the videos

[@stevenJEDI3]

I’m a little surprise when you fit the engine no covering on your paintwork at all doesn’t take much to make a slip up and scratch something

[@charlesr4325]

what a amazing car great work !

[@HunterKillr182]

Loving it

[@slowlearner984]

Genuinely interested to know the certification process for getting the car street registered in VIC.

[@joshpaton2736]

What a awsome job this car has inspired me with my build on my vk and fought me a few things with body work

[@druslocallawncare109]

love the old k nice rigg

[@xxP78xx]

Beautiful car! Congratulations

[@MartinMcMartin]

Super Mario moustache is interesting.

[@j.d.mtuners3630]

Australian cars rock

[@LRogan520]

Beautiful car

[@j.d.mtuners3630]

A shout out from Kings Park

[@350munrohome]

Top stuff, a perfect example of how unlimited cubic dollars can solve any problem, Where did howard arstill not appear in this one?

[@kingawags]

Why would Streetmachine publicise an 8sec car as a 7sec cover car?! 😕 8:12, is not 7:99.. 1352rwhp is impressive af for an old LS in an almost as old vk, but no proof of 7's. Yet..

[@Paul-qq7mh]

Look's like you do a excellent mate. You can build a car for me any day...

[@tommytopgearReloaded]

love it, good work!

[@Designandrew]

you guys should do a collab with hot rod magazine... mags gotta stick together!

[@tomhuss972]

NICE

[@darrinmurley1991]

Sick car mate 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ruppyhouse]

Mad power

[@Kneedragon1962]

Nice work. It sure as fk does look like a Brock Blue Meanie. I can see potential and a likely result, but I didn't actually [see] that seven second pass... The story does sorta show how much work and time and money and effort it takes, to make and run this kind of car. As an observer, no experience with this kind of thing, it looks like the car has most of what it needs but it's not hooking up and launching. That and the fact it wants to spool up and smoke the tyres out to some place about 100 m down the track. It looks like you need some clever tune in that flash Aussie engine management system, make it get boost early but limit how much. You can't run traction control at the drag strip, but you need something that's kinda doing that job. With a naturally aspirated engine, and 400hp, you can reasonably say that's the driver's job, and what sort of wanker is he if he can't drive? But when you're talking a turbo V8 and 2,ooo hp plus, it all sorta happens a bit faster than that... If you can get the weight on the rear tyres, they will hook up, but to get the weight on them you need the power going through them already... Neither the chicken nor the egg is there yet. ... 1/2 hour later ... I would experiment with a couple of body builder's plates, about 40 kg, and I'd bolt them under the boot lid. You want them high up and well back. A car like this should be fighting wheel-stand, it should need wheelie bars, but what you're seeing, is wheel-spin. The ultimate answer is probably moving the engine and tranny back a few inches, but checking if that's the problem can be done with free weights... In fact, just bolt a wheelie bar onto it, and the weight of the bar itself might make the difference... Set the height so the front wheels are pretty much an inch off the ground before the bar touches down...

[@Ozlizardking]

Where was the bit in-between where you built it?

[@onall4s978]

My friend is doing a vk build he’s putting a ls3 in it and he was wondering where to get the stickers that use have on the car

[@hammeredhemi1223]

Great build guys, Dont really agree with the Brock scheme, could have been a little more creative in that department. But impressive passes for the first time down the quarter. You will iron the bugs out in due course and sevens are defiantly on the horizon. But you shouldn't claim it until you run it. Well done nevertheless.

[@thesovietguttercat3302]

About to start painting a V8 VK, any suggestions on colour schemes?

[@thetruthfromdownunder421]

Mate the blue meanie is an Australian icon. Your opinion is some what retarded. Bloke ran a 8.1 @ 179mph with shit 60foot. That makes the car a 7 sec car just not getting it to the ground atm (first meet btw) . When did he say he ran a 7?

[@raceace]

Dragweek 2018?

[@cheapcharlie7]

Would need registration in either Australia or the states to be eligible. To get the car legit engineered in Aus would be a nightmare and attaining rego in the states I would suggest is unlikely.

[@Steindl122]

I think this could be doing drag challenge in aus this year the old car did drag challenge

[@aiden6433]

yea nah rego isnt too hard, just the rear tubs and cage

[@72wildcatz]

Does anyone know how much all this COST???? A really amazing re-build but I'm guessing the end cost would be astronomical!!

[@jerrysorensen7254]

How much all up did it cost to build?

[@joelfrancis5391]

Bad ass. Straight outa the shop grass hackin, quarter mile, dyno comp, the lot. 🤘 fuk yer

[@8wireracing694]

Weapon!

[@Designandrew]

this thing needs some weight in front, Im no expect though!! Maybe a big diffuser>!

[@mattdoeland]

Colour’s called hoist blue

[@darringoodbrand6603]

Looks like a old Vauxhall cavalier

[@tricks351]

noice one!!!!

[@brentiaconelli6484]

Wtf... Thats a 4 door fox body notch nightmare come to life

[@jacobpot967]

Prefer a big blower then twin turbos

[@davidevans6045]

you should of left the HTD logo on the headlights would of looked better

[@Designandrew]

VK commodores are show cars now?? WHAT REALITY IS THIS?

[@JanionIndustries]

superspeeed the same where VLs are apparently classy

[@aedsy]

Are you new to the scene? There have been VK show cars for 30 years hahaha.

[@32degreestowing76]

Not a normal VK.. brokky group A boi

[@thetruthfromdownunder421]

Sorry boys but the days of steel bumpers are gone. No1 in this generation wants or likes them. It’s the days of the commodores. Rip Belmont to Monaro.

[@kylestewart8354]

is that a seven-second hypothetical car? Or have you run 7 seconds and just didn't make the video?

[@sciboracing]

the engine combo has ran a 7 second pass in a heavier weight car. its a very good prediction it will run 7s.

[@rhys7816]

They have a new video showing a 7.75

[@nikolamaodus302]

Changed colour from red to blue

[@matmac888]

can you use that k-frame setup on the street?

[@ndrsg3013]

This seriously need a front spoiler to keep that front bonnet low

[@codey2912]

Why did i sell my vk now i want another one god dammit

[@gogogeedus]

Ill sell you one!

[@thatgamingguy3882]

What engine did use put in this car

[@onall4s978]

What engine did use put in it

[@clevo351]

That car needs a chassis tune asap !

[@BrosefDudley]

So Street Machine magazine is full of shit? It says on the cover it's a 2000hp 7 second car. You can't call it a 7 second car unless it's actually done a 7 second pass. As far as 2000hp goes, well we all saw it only made 1350hp on the hub dyno. You can't call it a 2000hp car until you have a dyno sheet proving the 2000hp claim.

[@wobblysauce]

Same motor from the old car.

[@BrosefDudley]

wobbly sauce which means absolutely nothing in this car.

[@bigcncguy]

8.2 second time out, its clearly going to run a 7 fuck head, you are one of the people ruining the human race

[@MrLincoln87]

What if it crashes and never runs a 7 second pass

[@ashbroome8558]

Need more detail

[@tommyreally101]

Whats next?

[@onall4s978]

What is that speedo called

[@HEMIPOWER604]

THATS MEAN AS FUCK!!! I DO LIKE THAT.

[@travishansen6404]

I'm fucking over all the Brock replicas out there don't get me wrong I reckon allshow is a fucking sexy car and I absolutely love it but seriously stop making Brock replicas their will only be one

[@thetruthfromdownunder421]

Ummmm I’m sure your the type buy your missus fake Gucci bags.

[@jaeedwards756]

Not a brocky and also not a 7 second car. Shouldn't claim it until you've run it

[@Pendlezzzzz]

And?

[@jaeedwards756]

Obviously you have trouble reading.

[@jaeedwards756]

Haha had to resort to name calling. Didn't say it wasn't a tough car. Stated that it shouldn't be called a "brocky" call it a replica. And don't claim it to be a 7 second car and publish it in a magazine until it runs it. False advertising. Now run along princess and be tough elsewhere

[@Pendlezzzzz]

awh youre so sensitive xxxxx

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Not a claim; a prediction. And a fairly safe one, since the engine combo has already run a 7 in a heavier street car

[@anthonyagnese4310]

Twenty six hour drive 🤔 Would love to C if I could do that without sleep...Would be an awesome test of endurance of man vs machine .. Thoughts be the machine would win.. cause I'd most likely have to put sleep into man's body 😂

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It was a big drive. I wouldn't do it again

[@aianscott3390]

was that an axel hub dyno!?!

[@jademoreton8371]

yes

[@alext6081]

Damn dude that nose hair ... nice car lol

[@sistergoals9179]

Awesome, but it's a fake Brock.

[@H0LDENSUX]

That VK should be street legal. How? Change the laws to make it.

[@blackbean8465]

How arnt there more subscribers

[@mikeymasi]

Not bad, should Barra it but

[@AsanoRacingPerformance]

needs nitro!

[@brandonroberts73]

all show, no go 😂

[@timmyc3152]

Should of gone electric

[@yeahnah7220]

Nice effort with the car, well done. You wanna body kit your car then by all means go for your life. But is it just me that finds it's a tad cringe worthy and sacrilegious to follow on with decals? Many a year ago when given my p plates I did what you could do at that age in '98 and placed a wgr low spoiler full body kit on my 6 month old '97 champagne exec, had the mirrors and door handles color coded, left the lion on and removed the rest of the badges, changed to clear side blinkers, took her to pedders, slotted some 17's under it and then did the air intake and full zorst from headers to tips and put a nice stereo in it. Didn't for one minute consider putting the wgr decals on cause at the end of the day it wasn't a wgr. fucking wish it had of been of course but the no v8 p plate law fucked any possibility of that. Since then ive had a couple of brand new v8 ss ute and sedan variants and visited the dark side with a cpl of wrx's but NOTHING has ever matched the joys and memories that the wgr mock up gave me for those couple of years back in the day, fuck...getting a bit misty eyed reminiscing back to what practically half a lifetime ago so far now. Back when cobbers were the size of ya thumb and a pack of pj gold durries was about $10, fuck yeah!

[@sydneycbr6466]

The no V8s for P platers didn't come in until way after 1998, mate.

[@yeahnah7220]

Ok, so I simplified it a bit mate. A VS SS was over the power to weight ratio that was legislated at the time. From memory you could get away with it in a Statesman or Caprice due to the extra 300-400kg.

[@thetruthfromdownunder421]

No one cares mate 🤷‍♂️. I bet you wear a mask? Your name wouldn’t be Karen by any chance?

[@aianscott3390]

left hand starter??? you aussies do everything backwards! dont ya!?! jk!!

[@JA-gy9ln]

What's the deal with all the 4 door cars? If they like 4 door cars then everyone should send them all the 4 door cars because in America we prefer 2 door cars.

[@johnvt666]

Who gives a fuck what you Americans prefer.

[@squidable174]

johnvt666 truth

[@helengram9290]

2 door cars are extremely expensive to buy eithen a rust bucket , there aren't many around here

[@Ozlizardking]

Where you gonna put the kids and the baby seat ya fuckin galah!

[@uncooltaste7847]

Who gives a fuck what irrelevant Australia likes.

[@dalesubic345]

WTF is up with youtube and horrible music?

[@seadoo9651]

No budget build
