I also have who ever goes in the cage of the airboat put the key in their pocket. That way he has full control, he turns off the power and has control of the key.

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Even better! We may have to implement that in the future!

Not enough thumbs or comments for this!

I’m guessing Matt Damon didn’t have the key to the fire room in his pocket in the movie Elysium.

you deff got a really good chance to win that helicopter

[@tomzweifel7060]

Thanks ,your voice and the music 🎶 , you nailed it 👌. The volume is perfect ,thanks again!!

[@brettnipps7205]

Busy at the shop!! Thanks Kevin and crew.

[@odahithedubious2017]

I know some of the other KZbinrs I watch use Wire Care too. I'm interested, since I did wiring (not automotive, though) for a lot of years. I just retired in October, but I still like to see what's new, and what you use interests me. Thanks for all the great content, you're a real class act. All the best to you and all your crew.

[@H3110NU]

Rob Dahm did a really good car wiring video (The ultimate engine wiring starter guide) a few years back. Got me up to speed on how high end over the top wiring could be done.

[@baddaddy8718]

That dash in the shoebox is sweet. Nice ride

[@GrahamDallas]

Great video, lots happening, thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@ronbuckner8179]

Especially in the ‘55. Wonderlust for sure.

[@saddletramp6529]

Another great video! The 55 is one sweet ride. You are forgiven for not knowing it was a 55 in the intro...you are just "a young whipper snapper!" lol Good job Kevin!

[@dksaevs]

Hey Kevin, another B4 My Time moment. LOL

[@ronbuckner8179]

I knew the music would start the moment you sat down. It did, thanks I love your quick montage music, it’s actually something I look forward to. It’s peaceful, and the grinder spool up fits your web site perfectly.

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Fantastic video Kevin! The airboat is a really cool job in the shop, and boy have they come a long way over the years! That sucker looks FAST! The work you all do in your shop is such high quality. That 55 Chevy was GORGEOUS! Almost PERFECTION!

[@claymillican25]

Love a 55 Chevrolet

[@GreggeSB]

We've got a fair sized airboat community where I live. Powered by everything from clapped out old big blocks to repurposed airplane engines. As soon as the ice is gone, you can hear 'em singing up and down the Platte River. It's kind of fun to try to identify the engines by sound. Some of those airplane engines can sing pretty well, but a nice "atmospherically enhanced" small block makes beautiful music.

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Not your average day at KSR but incredible to say the least! Crazy someone blew out all the drywall in their shop tuning an airboat 🤯

[@jackasmaryan1776]

Well there's a nice helicopter waiting for u at the freedom factory brother 😊

[@Kindaquick1]

That 55 looks so dang nice, and I'm really digging the look of that airboat, too. Edit: Had a dust collector catch fire at work before. The fire department brought their airboat to blow the smoke out of the building. Manufacturing paperwork blew everywhere. Took a while to sort out the mess.

[@GorhamWorks]

Didn't know I needed more air boats, but I think I need more air boats in my life!

[@stevenmcc2119]

Perfect timing

[@joecameron3406]

I have a wire care kit on the way next step for 6l ls 94 SS s10. So may make it to some cruise ins this summer. It's fun to be along for the ride.

[@jgregorykline3457]

That 55 is mint. Your shop definitely covers anything with a motor in in!

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Yes it does!

[@vehdynam]

Very enjoyable update ! I learn something every time I watch a KSR video. Many thanks.

[@drjeep1971]

Nice update. Thanks for the video.

[@j2kinflarc768]

Always fun to see what is happening at the shop.

[@throttlewatch4614]

55’ is the half moon markers lights 56’ are square and 57’ Chevys are unmistakable

[@funfun8095]

I always look for the gas cap, to distinguish a 55 from a 56. I don't know them well, either.

[@travisboatwright5466]

If grille comes out under lights, 56

[@sampson7941]

Oh man you gotta go out on that boat and make sure the tune is good

[@Jeffrey-ed8sz]

Wait, what? I want to fly with Kevin, anytime,place or condition. I grew up in a 1946 J-5. I could not think of a better stick and rudder guy, who is already my freaking HERO! I would love a collaboration of Kevin, Cleeter and Mike Patey, maybe even that deisel mech guy(lol).

[@iapologizeinadvance4812]

Dang that tri five is gorgeous!!

It really is!!

It's Coil - Near - Plug !!! The kids are watching.

[@fotogfitzfoto412]

Royal Navy vessels have "Safe to Transmit" boards in the power supply to the radar and radio aerials. Their removal interrupts the power. The senior wireless technician working on the aerials keeps them on his person.

[@rockercover]

Air boat air-flow was moving those bushes / trees around at the edge of the property a bunch.

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Yeah it was! The first time we throttled it up, there was a visible pollen cloud blowing off of all of the bushes back there, haha.

Are you still crewing the Viper for Lee?

[@andreweakin3923]

If you switch drive units, look into Century Drive Systems. Their gear drives don't sound like metal balls bouncing around a washing machine.

[@r0bkills]

ok! we want to know ! did you start up the air boat in the door way hahaha would of sucked out all the dust out of the shop lol and then some , cool vids Kev and good luck for the chopper we gotta see this air thing you got going on

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Yeah! When it first fired up with the Coil Near Plug conversion, it was just pushed out of the shop door just a little.

[@BG-vq9fd]

I bought a new Sanger v-drive in the 80's that I wanted to put a Banks twin turbo kit on. Besides the cost of the kit, tuning it made me chicken out.

[@BCandtheBrain]

that boat has a Florida man story written all over it

[@MichaelPhillips-wo3bq]

Cool video Kevin 👍. Like what you did with the Air Boat and the 55 was sweet. Got a question, was that a 67 or 68 Camaro sitting on the lift in the back corner of the shop. If so, is it for sale? My wife has been wanting a 67 for a long time.

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

I think it is a 67. It is my business partners and not for sale. However, it will be in some videos soon!!

[@doughamm5590]

Wow the first like. That's new. LoL!!! Sounds like a boat I need

[@kingperfection1868]

As someone that got hit head on right before Christmas last year by a person with no insurance in my own build seeing a person creeping to pull out in front of you gets me uneasy also

[@notsofresh8563]

Is that the boat that you said was "a little sketchy" in another video? If so, i definitely was right about it actually being batshit insane.

lol, true!!
