Jet Ski Jim's Mazzone Sand Rail Overhaul: Brakes, Cooling, & Exhaust🏎️💨

[@gregb76]

Jimmy you are coming along great as meticulous as you are your buggy will be one of the best.

[@shanevonharten3100]

There's a lot of rails getting built for Merlins event but there's one very noticeable difference with your build, it is immaculately clean and precise. I think yours will stand out amongst the crowd for this

[@marxtuf]

Every part is polished from being off and on 26 times. 😂

[@rickbottoms7838]

And it will have more chrome than a ‘56 Cadillac! It’s a beauty!

[@ZootSuitCooter]

Your old style speed wrench, back in aviation we called them speed handles. Everyone had one. They were priceless when removing hundreds of #10 countersunk inspection panel screws from the bottom of an airplane wing. It was essential that they had the wide profile handle rather than the slim type handle, that way you could put much more pressure on the screws while turning them at the same time. I still have mine, comes in handy every now and then. Enjoying the build, lotta fun.

[@stephenpoe2037]

This i going to Rip ! Coming along nicely ! Thanks for sharing !

[@bradwinter156]

Looking good... and close to hearing her scream. Being a long time Corvair owner it seems so weird watching you work on that "backwards" engine. Keep up the great work.

[@Cantsaydog]

Holy smokers that thing is looking good I think it’s gonna be the most powerful and best looking one there🤫 Nice to see some class👍✊🇺🇸

[@robertr4193]

Getting close to finishing the sand rail now. What is left to do shouldn't take much time. Looking forward to seeing and hearing it start and run and see it on the dunes. Best of luck to you stay safe and healthy.

[@rayneethling7809]

I enjoyed that ! Somewhat meticulous !!

[@nicoveldtmann3045]

Hi Jimmy. I think the best place for that speed wrench (bolt head distroyer) is right in the back of the bottom drawer or better still donate it to Merlin for a crank handle for the Model T.😂. Great build. Just like the neatness of your work.

[@jksebright1]

I like the fact that unlike Merlin you appear clean and well dressed and don't have to continually tell people how smart you are, keep up the good work.

[@spacenut708]

I love watching the progress...

[@Kristof-Kay]

really taking shape now Jim, you have truly worked your socks off on it, finish line almost in sight, thanks for sharing

[@kennethsmith6470]

Helluva sand rail Jimmy...

[@tubeu28]

Good job Jimmy, you don't need no Merlin! But we do!!! Entertainment value. God bless

[@dennispalmer6007]

Actually back in the late 60’s 70’s Snapon had a version of this ratchet. The bend on it was closer to the head and then the rest of the handle was straight up and down and centred on the ratchet head. Some of the really old guy’s like me might remember it.

[@havasubooo8840]

really? that's awesome.

[@taurota1554]

Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@paulmathyi8220]

You top fan for air induction/ extraction, I feel needs to be like Matt’s (Matt’s off-road recovery) which is shaped like a turbo which would pull or push which ever rotation the fan operates best of luck Jimmy 😎

[@Derf1313]

Gone thru a few flex head ratchets, lol. Still find a few things the speed wrench works for. Saw a few corvair rigs years ago (well, decades, lol), buddy had used the transaxle for a SB 400, in a 4 seater, really scooted! Gotta love the effort you're putting into this rig, should be a special keeper! Looking forward to how it runs, should be a barrel of FUN! Thanx !

[@motardmike]

To anybody without previous knowledge of your ratchets design, at first it seems unusual but watching the ease with which you use it...Makes sense. Electric ratchets....Not a Fan either.

[@rightwingmanscott]

Good job. Enjoyed the show. Crazy thinking about all the VW's and Corvairs running around not in the vehicles they came in! I got a VW trike but the motor is a 2330 cc aftermarket with twin webers.

[@craigclark3279]

Jimmy, get some sand bags for your rails front-end flat 6 turbo ... dam!! Wheelie time

[@dougknight9644]

Jimmy get up with Matt up in Hurricane at Matt's off-road recovery he has a new stile fan that is also litter and more air.

[@onehot57]

Hey Jimmy SK makes a swivel head that’s puts Snap off to shame! It swivel from the center of the head and won’t kick out like the Snap off will! I bought my first one in 1959 and still use it. At one time GM made a belt guide that bolted to the blower housing to help keep the belt in place.

[@Inspector6X2]

I have one of those "crooked ratchets" in my tool box too. It is a great asset.

[@robertottwell605]

Sand buggy Jim he and get her running! Looking good.

[@richardbaxter3886]

Looking Good

[@coltonupchurch4368]

I just got a 63 chevy swb🎉🎉🎉 it's ruff but it's mine now ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jetskijim007]

That's awesome! congrats!! :-)

[@jhaedtler]

When ever you have the turbo apart use Mouse Milk on it. Best Turbo lube ever!

[@gittingjiggingwidit]

That's how its done.

[@dreamlinerkoa6438]

She going to be a ripper ❤🎉🎉

[@crbrepairmotorcycles6608]

Nicest looking buggy I've ever seen ❤

[@jhaedtler]

I worked on aircraft most my life and on some engines I was pulling rocker covers every 25 hours of operation. I applied a tin coat of EZ-Turn lubricant. fuel nd oil will not cut it and the next time I pulled the rover covers and gaskets released and I was able to reuse the gaskets!

[@ruffpizza]

Go Jimmy

[@Busted.Knuckles.Garage]

Hey Jimi, sorry to bug ya what's happening to the CNC Merlyn and you picked up, would luv to see it get running ah! Thanks for Sharing

[@jetskijim007]

never a bother. :-) I want to get that CNC running so bad.. We all are so busy right now it has fallen to the back burner, BUT it is still on the list.

[@steven.h0629]

❤Sending good Karma for March 👍😎✊

[@rickmurdock6140]

Speed handle!

[@russellgier5489]

I have one off those ratchets also was marketed as a tune-up ratchet

[@KrisD007]

Don’t let us down Jimmy!

[@dalerose1694]

[@peterfiske6701]

[@johnhart125]

Can't believe you put that rusty piece on that nice looking engine

[@blairmurphy5531]

🤟

[@blairmurphy5531]

🖖

[@rolandtb3]

Some shiny ride Jimmy. Not a VW engine but a Corvair. That alternator, wow, you're not sparing the che ching $$$$. Will the exhaust system be chrome or black? Can't wait to hear it start ot get dynoed. With all the bling, bling, will you change the seats?

[@kjflyte5088]

Fan bolts locktighted?

[@HavasuHeidi]

always wrenching...

[@Busted.Knuckles.Garage]

Hey jimi, luv your show, great job on the buggy, the speed wrench thing you said I have a hard time, buying that one, I as I'm sure many others figured out what you did it dose act as a speed wrench, but not it's intended purpose I'm shocked that Snap-On actually claimed this #1) you can still buy a "speed handle" #2) it was bent to get one into octward places od-angled places, geezers even Google lists it that way, so I'm left to believe you said this on purpose to get a shitload of comments which helps a channel because everything I've seen of you and Merlyn says you know far better than to call it a way of speed wrenching. I can remember back working on our 350cid 72 Vega and I actually bent a 3/8" socket handle and started wishing they would make 3/8" handles longer wit a bent tip, and the Tool manufacturers must of been listening to the Mechanical Godz out there because all of a sudden they started making that way, anyways nice build, look forward to new builds ah!
