I Built it by Myself! - Coffin Car PowerGlide - Episode 3

[@coyboy89]

I love the fact that you also work on your own cars! Keep doing big things Alex. Your dads got to be proud, my daughter loves to be in the shop with me as well.

[@WilliamPradoGXL]

How do you only have 26k subs Alex. Your builds and personality is more epic than ol' Cleetus

[@RidingWithAlexTaylor]

Thanks Will! Just part of the process. Thanks for following 😄

[@kxdirtjumper]

I don't like working on autos, cool to see you jump in without hesitation. Maybe I will take one on in the future, probably not 🙂

[@randywl8925]

5:26 None of anybody's business. You grew up in the shop and this isn't your first time. I think it's fantastic you brought this up. 👍 There's a lot of difference between a drill and an angle grinder. Now, ...had you been doing this with an angle grinder I'd be making comments all over the freaking place, be you likin' it or not 😁 I started watching your videos about the beginning of the 55 project, so this Coffin car series is new to me. It's Friday night and I'm binge watching because the videos are so fun. I'm going to finish up this video series tonight because that car has been sitting in the back of your shop and I've always wondered about it. It's so cool. I was born in 57, so the Munsters we're one of my favorites.

[@rogersattler4423]

" Clean up the table" That's when I tend to find extra pieces.

[@RidingWithAlexTaylor]

Such a true statement 😂

[@hamiam2243]

I wasn't worried about safety glasses or your hair getting caught up in the drill ,but mopping up the oil on the table with your hair was great .

[@kensmith8832]

What's more important than having all the correct tools for a build? Good mentors. You are in good hands.

[@RidingWithAlexTaylor]

You are for sure right!

[@c4transguy]

Alex, You should feel proud. There are a LOT of "car guys" and racers out there who have never built an automatic transmission. They are black magic.

[@MichaelTucker]

I wonder why Alex didn't take up mechanical engineering rather than marketing as a major at university.

[@mcwillies2737]

@@MichaelTucker Honestly anything they would've taught her while getting a mech engineering degree would've been things she already knew or can learn without paying for it. Marketing is a good fallback and also could help alot with building a brand.

[@philanaemic]

@@MichaelTucker If she plans to make motorsports a long-term career then marketing would be a very applicable skillset when it comes to advertising and chasing endorsements & sponsorships. All the tech stuff she can learn on the job (and has).

[@RidingWithAlexTaylor]

Thank you so much!

[@RidingWithAlexTaylor]

I chose marketing so I could learn the business side of what I want to do. While I actually considered engineering a couple times (and actually took intro engineering classes as electives), I didn't pursue it because that requires a much more 9-5 job. Which, there is nothing wrong with that! But it wouldn't allow me the freedom to chase my actual goals within the industry 🙂

[@mikeandrews4901]

I really must say this is the first time I have ever seen a woman build a transmission! Great work! Keep it up. Don't forget your victory dance after your finished up and ready to put fire to it.

[@yamr6rider]

You are such a badass!!! Like Meagan Fox from Transformers, but you really know your stuff! Shout out to your dad for having you around the shop to learn all that stuff. Great to see young ladies interested in wrenching!

Hi... i saw powerglide rebuild video... excellent.... its nice to see a younger person using traditional type stuff.. i was called... out dated... and a pre historic nuckle dragger.... for using a power glide many years ago.. and i finally used a t....350 in a blazer and a car for a short time... they even called me lurch.. because i did.nt upgrade to the 700...r...4.....automatic.s.....this was a good video ... well..done with... your verbal... instruction being... on the ball ....so to speak...i really enjoyed this because its.. a power glide....and this adds even more respect.. to the credibility you have built in yourself.... have a great sunday.... your dad is a special man... it show.s in you.... with every video.. .

[@williamreed1493]

You go girl! Taking initiative and getting it done. Speaking as a father, you dad is super proud of you!! Keep up the awesome work!

[@Warwick3511]

You should be proud of your self not a lot of people would tackle a job like this. I am impressed by your willingness to learn how to do it.

[@RidingWithAlexTaylor]

Thank you! Have to start somewhere 😄

[@Mattvardaman]

You're doing a fantastic job. Transmission modification scares most shadetree mechanics. Way to represent Arkansas and women in Motorsports!

[@kenkinggearjammer]

This has got to be the coolest family!Yaw go

[@gilbertsmale9250]

I understand that you have been working in the workshop for a very long time but? Safety first, and I am sure your dad is well aware that it only takes one instance for an accident to happen. So in saying that, it is a good thing to have a routine to wear your safety glasses and put your hair in a pony tail when operating "any" kind of machinery, from a drill to a drill press or anything that is driven by a motor (although I would not recommend leaning into an engine bay while the engine is running with your hair in a pony tail) prevention is the best practice when it comes to safety and you are also encouraging other young ladies in the process who want to get there hands dirty the right way. Anyway take pride in safety because you only get one set of eyes (even though I think you would look good as a pirate) I still prefer to look at both of your lovely eyes, keep up the good work and I do enjoy watching your video's. All the best.

[@mikelellsaesser1320]

Please don't apologize. It's ur channel. I love behind the scenes 😍. Racing is not just put ur car in a trailer or on a trailer. And go racing then came home and do nothing on ur car. We want to know what might have broke and how to fix it. And please don't worry about the haters, because they're going to hate even though u do everything right. If u see haters just block them so know worries. Just don't acknowledg them that just gives them power. And I bet that transmission will work great 👍. And I think u should paint the transmission, paint it the color of body, or just black. It doesn't have to go in the paint booth just a quick rattle can paint will do.

[@keithphillips6111]

Really cool Alex!!! I don't mess with transmissions ever and period! For years I've sat back and watched people build them but it's just a mystery to me....

[@RidingWithAlexTaylor]

Haha! They are intimidating. Thank you!

[@kiwibobnz9812]

Wow I am impressed and I don’t understand how people can dream up the modifications to make this operate differently You obviously have to be something quite special Well done

[@RidingWithAlexTaylor]

I wasn't the one that came up the modifications, I'm just following instructions there. BUT you are right! I say all the time that I can't imagine being the doing the engineering behind it. Thank you!

[@nicolasleroy3796]

Very interesting vid thank you and Mum and Dad to give a hand it's really sweet

[@LRCXed]

I've rebuilt everything from the front to the back of many cars. But I've never had the interest to tackled an automatic transmission. My hat's off to you for taking this on and expanding your knowledge! As we all know, you and your dad are awesome Alex. Keep it up. Be happier, go faster, and stay pretty! You've got that all covered!

I’m sure it’s gonna be crazy and you never know how the race and vehicles will hold up, but I feel like that’s all secondary and I just hope you all have a lot of fun, and are able to make some good connections. Unfortunately I’m not sure if I can root for you and Emilia to win, as it’s some tough competition with some of my favorite content creators out there, but I’m definitely rooting for you to have an epic time!

Fckn nailed that mating surface when you drilled through the case. Throw a little tape around the bit and you may avoid that in the future.

I've seen power glides rebuild before i never done one though, but my son used to use one in his dirt car, but we seen in speedway's books that you can eliminate the torque converter and just use a straight shaft and you can also hook up a pedal like a clutch to them. I was wondering if you have ever seen that done? and would it work for a drag car that isn't street?
