Happy birthday from new jersey USA

[@orvalaltwasser505]

You have to live a guy like Nick ! A man that enjoys his work,like Nick does, is truly a lucky guy. Everyone should be so lucky! I love your videos Nick; especially the ones that show you dyno testing the 440 Mopars. They are my favourite mopars since I was a 16 year old kid and still are today. I’ll be 72 years old in April of 2024. Keep the videos coming. They are great entertainment , and I learn something new with every show. Keep on keeping on Nick!

[@conradboisvert6730]

Welcom back Nick

The nice thing about being the owner is that while you're on vacation you are still making money!

@Nick's Garage I've gone from watching you in São Paulo, Brazil, to Bertioga, Brazil, to Paulista, Brazil, and now to Vista, CA. I commented to you a few years ago about the "65 1/2" Charger I had many years ago, the car with a short, x-ended VIN.

[@robertunsworth9183]

From Hamilton New Zealand, happy birthday Nick-from one mechanic to another. I've been a mechanic since 1978 and worked on Mazda rotary vehicles too. I ran my 1974 RX4 on LPG and petrol. Some of the American muscle cars my parents had were a 66 Dodge Charger 318, a 67 Mustang 390, a 66 Chev super sport 327,a 1970 Pontiac GTO 455 CID,a 1962 Chrysler Imperial. There was also a 1976 Australian Chrysler 360 sedan. Once again, many happy returns for the day, Robert.

[@mattdegrange6274]

i had that exact 175 Honda when i was 14 years old, i road that bike everywhere, it was the first thing i ever overhauled, great times. thanks nick for the video.

[@philhunt3908]

Happy birthday nick glad you had a good vacation

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

On the rare occasions that I take a vacation, they're usually centered around cars, trucks and tractors, with the occasional steam locomotive thrown in for good measure. Luckily, my wife also loves them!

[@BuzzLOLOL]

My vacations tend to center around boats/water... but towed by a car or truck on a trailer... or snow...

[@tint661]

I'm watching you from Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. I'm about 100 miles from Carlisle. I love working on engine heads. I'm surprised you don't have a pneumatic valve spring compressor. I'm old school also, I have a manual compressor myself. The mechanic I learned from, taught me to tap the springs after they were installed. He showed me that the keepers can sometimes fool you and not seat right. When you tap the valve and work the spring, it shows you the keepers are in place and doing their job. I'm looking forward to seeing the Road Runner engine on the dyno.

[@paulbuchanan7349]

Love the shows. Watching from Port Fairy, Victoria, Australia.

[@darlenebedard6627]

Happy Birthday Nick ! You and I share the same birthday. I have been watching and enjoying all your videos for the last two years. I have been interested in cars all my life. It started for me building model cars and then had a 20” Rambler Scrambler bike. I purchased my first car when I was 15. I have always owned classic cars and my last car I built was a 1936 Plymouth 5 window coupe street rod which I showed and won many trophy’s with. Keep you the good work.

[@deavonthedude]

I hope you continue to put out videos like this I’m 23 and just now starting a career in machining heads and work for a guy that mainly specializes in mopar engines

[@harry7361]

I've been watching Nick's Garage for quite a few years, everywhere from Michigan to Florida, Indiana to South Carolina ( the home of the offspring of Gomer Pyle and Larry the Cable Guy) to Washington state and Texas and everywhere in between. Nick's Garage is a necessity for me. Love the show, the man and the way he's always doing his best, and the cars he attends to ..... even if they aren't all Mopars. Nick is the best. I also watch and admire Coldwar Motors who also commands my respect and admiration.

[@harry7361]

Somehow I missed that it was your birthday, so many great returns of the day and may you have as many more as you want.

Hi Nick & George, Nick there's nothing wrong with following your passion while on holiday and man what a find. Nick your better that all the rest that's why your global and what's more Theo is one luck man having you work on his Roadrunner to put it right. George that music was just right for today's video and I thought the green notes across the screen were cool when Nick tapping the valve springs making sure they were in place. Cheers all from Taranaki New Zealand.

Happy Birthday Nick !! I have a similiar valve spring compressor, its about 40 yrs old now. Tried one of the air powered ones, didnt care for it. Couldnt "feel" the tension well enough. Probably done a couple thousand valve jobs with my old one. Great looking set of heads there. Garfield, KY, USA

Good evening guys!!!! So great to see Nick back in his natural habitat, Nick’s garage: looking right at home, doing what he loves. I really appreciated and enjoyed that little clip from Paros: Greece looks like one BEAUTIFUL place, I’d love to visit one day!!!! I think you could BLINDFOLD Nick, and he’d STILL be able to find a muscle car if there was one anywhere around lol. Always a pleasure watching the automotive maestro at work, and George, your skills showcase everything with EXCELLENCE!!!! Great week to you all!!!! 🙂

[@voodoosteel666]

I'm fairly new to your channel, my father and uncle raced big block Mopar's for 50 years. You sound just like my dad. I know every part of a Mopar. ✌🏻💯

[@HoopHelps]

Gday mate from Missouri. Always love your work! I was raised in Perth Western Australia and actually did a 4year apprenticeship as a engine reconditioner in a vw shop. When I have to reassemble heads these days I always miss the pneumatic valve spring compressor that my boss had when I was apprentice,it was awesome! There was no fighting the spring pressure making the head want to move around on the bench and possibly fall,two buttons,one for compress and the other for release,with very little moving the head on the bench. Can only think with the amount of heads you rebuild how much you might enjoy such a tool. Their expensive and the manual ones work just fine, but, they are nice!

[@OlSgtLove]

Hey Nick , Welcome Back and really enjoyed watching the head work going on . Sure brought back memories for me . I did alot of my own head work too . Had the heads on the RAM AIR breathing good...love your attention to detail ...Write those books one day Nick !!!!!!!

[@petergoodwin2465]

What a great looking beast . You guys are doing a fantastic job as usual. My best mate is a crazy Greek Mopar guy but we have become brothers , we have nothing to do with our family but we are always there for each other unlike our families. 30 years and we still have our old Aussie mopars. He's not my mate he's my brother, wife says we drink too much ha,ha,
