Now that is what we call a good workplace. The banter, the digs and the friendship. Curious about the brazing, maybe on one of these episodes yall could show that happen. It turns out everyone in the shop does work lol!

[@aubreymorris9183]

"We don't like anything floppy here at the shop." Best line ever!

[@michaelwynne4346]

Working with all those young people will keep you young.

[@saddletramp6529]

No power? Take that as a sign...time to go home!! lol The comradery between you guys is awesome, makes for a better workplace! Oh by the way...glad to see a Ford in the shop, thought that maybe Florida didn't have any Fords there!! LOL Thanks for the update!!

[@MyHotRod79]

Just took my lunch break. Great timing. 👍🏻

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Me too!

[@justingould7348]

That thumbnail had me thinking you got a new shop for a second.

[@jdinnis]

Hey Kevin, emergency lights are pretty cheap and a big help in a dark shop like that. Mine has no windows at all, so if the power goes out it is pitch black. My shop is also not quite as well organized as your. I think if I had to try and find my way out in the dark it could be fatal.

[@thomasj.kappjr.929]

Line to line is really good I have watched/seen a lot of good results from multiple people also

[@robertbeaty4909]

What's the easiest way to lower a Ford pick-up? Remove the wheels and tires off of it. What's the easiest way to lower a Chevy car or truck? Remove the cinder blocks out from under it. ;)

[@stannelson2582]

To be honest the easiest way to lower a ford is take it off the flat bed lol.

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Lol

[@scottz63]

Good stuff. We have fun messin with each other in the shop too. Just have to. Lol!

[@drjeep1971]

Tank you for the video and update. Nice Ford

[@mavman351]

Finally! Hell has frozen over at KSR! Some Blue oval goodness!! Yes!!!! Thank you Kevin!!!!! Lol😂. Like i said before, i am true blue ford but i love the cutlass, the only gm ive ever liked and can't wait to see it run down Gainesville raceway again like the old days, just way faster! Poindexter still got his old g body malibu? Hell we could have a reunion 😂😂! You guys are the best!

[@philbetthauser9547]

As usual, you have a bunch of cool projects going on at the shop .

[@toddlehman9928]

I’m wearing my Soccer Mom shirt right now, I have a Soccer Mom sticker on my truck (I am very partial-as I had a ‘75 Camaro), wore my Popsicle shirt on mother’s day…. And even wore my Soccer Mom shirt on day #1 for Sick Summer’23 ❤ Have loved this channel since you were working on the Dale truck and tuning Leroy!

[@toddlehman9928]

And I DO have a Performance & Performance misprint shirt 😁 I wear it with pride!

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

You rock!!

[@torque-ej4nu]

quick way to spot a die hard Florida gator fan, metallic blue with the orange pin stripes lmao.

[@bobroberts2371]

Time 1217 The Ford metal coffee can for vacuum. Some 70's Fords used an oil filter can mounted to the side of the air filter housing to act as a resonator.

[@BenjySparky]

Kevin and crew, y'all rock! Love the updates. Peace

[@stanleymartin1613]

Cool stuff! Great video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎

[@j2kinflarc768]

Sadly Florida has become one of the most expensive places to live now 😢 real estate prices have over doubled and building materials are priced outrageously. Yet in a few years, I’m betting you will be able to make some moves if you choose. Keep up the great work, and keep us updated. We’ll be here watching.

[@E.T.GARAGE]

I have the Line To Line coating on my 385 stroker and it is quiet even on a cold morning in the north east, my oil never really turned black like I have heard but then my engine sat for about a month before I got around to breaking it in. 👍😎👍

[@thatgreenrcsb]

Speaking of LS throttle bodies on Ford's... I did a termi-x-max on a bronco build. Used a GM drive by wire throttle body and CTSv pedal on a pushrod 302... Works flawless

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

That’s cool!

[@tonygriffiths2485]

What a superb standard of engineering. Hopefully the Viper will be soon, looking forward to that. All the best Kevin and thanks :)

[@Chad-lx2om]

Like they say in Florida wait 10min the weather will change good job kevin with everything 👍

[@jasonfrary]

Anyone would think you're from this side of the pond with all the recent weather updates at the start of your videos. 🤣☁☁👍

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

It's the "old man" showing up in my personality......lol

[@jameseastwood4984]

I was thinking the same, it's raining in Essex!

[@NFNADVENTURE]

I'm in swfl. We need rain.

[@jkfonyi]

@@NFNADVENTUREI assume south west Florida ? You will probably get more rain then ya can deal with in couple months when hurricanes get going

[@NFNADVENTURE]

@jkfonyi correct. I'm thinking wet summer. Even hotter summer and probably more tropical storms/hurricane. Not thrilled as I'm still repairing from hurricane ian. Today we were supposed to get rain. But as of 3pm no rain. Just been overcast

[@TheRealLawnFather]

Man I’ve needed a good KSR update!

[@grandmackdady]

i'm kind of shocked when that storm came through it didn't take my power out with the wind. since i lose power all the time out here at melrose lol

[@robertmcfarland557]

Good Morning

[@aaronb7990]

🤘😎🤙 Shop update videos are awesome!!!

[@jeffreyevens2033]

Pretty cool video, you and the guys are working on some interesting vehicles. Thanks that eas fun!

[@StewMac570]

Next vid we need an update on Eddie’s ring tone 14:46

[@GaryM-1985]

need an Eddie standing around shirt😅

[@Jeffrey-ed8sz]

Man, you are awesome Kevin😊

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Thanks!!

[@lanceboyett9034]

Since I have moved to Alaska, I have learned solar & generator power for me is cheaper than power company electricity & no power outages. Lol

[@CmgDeadman]

It is pouring here in Palm Coast

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing

[@mikehipperson]

You've gotta blame Eddie for the power outage as he was the only one using power tools right beforehand. Shame that we didn't get any footage of you working on the Booeek!

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Those are my Sunday videos! During the week, I am mostly on customer projects

[@MadsWorld34]

i dont know eddy was under the wheel tube and there was noise. but by the time you got there with the cam he was just standing there.

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

I added the sound effects……. ;)

[@ToObUrNoUt]

That OBS could use a Crown Vic front suspension / S550 rear swap

[@mikeconnelly7032]

I’d love to see a video on what you and your crew drive as daily’s or their* personal projects.

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

I think we can make that happen!

[@solarfunction1847]

@KSR Hey Kevin if that is a routine thing during rainy season where the power goes out then why haven't you got a 220v to 240v 8000w inverter pure sine wave petrol or diesel generator on standby so that you can flick a switch to disconnect street power to then go to generator power which would power the whole shop. A 8000w inverter pure sine wave generator will set you back about $3K & the the simple switches & hook up might cost you around $1K & you'll never have another problem again.

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

This is the first power loss we have had in a couple of years, except for a hurricane when we were not working anyways

[@solarfunction1847]

@@KSRPerformanceFabrication Lets say that your govt is trying to bring down the country by ruining all the farming, all the infrastructure, the workforce by flooding the country with outside ppl because the world govt wants your country gone from being at the top of the world leaders. If that is so then you can expect more blackouts & brownouts as well as dirty electricity that takes out electronics then you will need to take precautions to minimize problems. Of course you probably won't believe this at all but that's okay, keep an open mind, watch how things deteriorate & decide what is best for yourself & family.

[@402kev4]

😂😂😂 The Kevin Hart reference! Love it

[@WilliamDundon]

Eddie put in ear plugs!!!!!

[@I-apologize-in-advance]

It can't be a coincidence that we see Eddie standing around all the time - I'm just sayin😁

[@InnocentMiscreant]

That truck will definitely run better with modern engine management

[@jamessmith707]

Sounds like Val's car is basically " Soccer Mom 2.0 "

[@robacomb2781]

You like to keep us in the dark about the shop updates, 😂

[@bobwilliams9395]

I would fit in at your shop. Bustin Bolt's and Breaking Ball's. If you can't handle the trash talk you don't belong here!

[@justinwhitaker3537]

Hey Kevin what has the square body dually been doing?

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Heck I dunno, I need to call Steve and ask him about it.

[@jaratt85]

BTW if you didn't see it, Garrett is finally living up to the birth of Cleetus with a 69 Camaro Pro Mod. Beautiful truck, don't even want to know how much rust is hiding under that paint. Perfect color for a Ford too, not far off the color of the one I fell asleep in the wheel of in 1989 at Arco Arena.. Bigfoot... I was 4 and I rode down and back on the back of my godfather's Harley bagger. (Ultra Glide Classic I believe) Slept both ways lol. I think that experience is a big part of why I'm a Ford guy and why I love the 70's F100 bodystyle so much, because that's what the original Bigfoot was. Unfortunately with the popularity of Crown Vic chassis swaps on them they are now so incredibly expensive that you can't get a rust bucket for under $3k. Mine was a 76 F100 4X4 Custom with a 360FE and a NP435/NP203 with no low range.. and they changed the smog laws so that 76 and newer had to be smogged forever right as I was about to pull all the smog crap off mine... that and needing a clutch after my brother in law drove it a couple months made me sell it. I miss that truck more than anything else I've owned despite the Mustang sounding so much better. That truck handled FAR better than any truck ever should, especially 4X4. I threw away the F Series Haynes manual so I wouldn't be tempted to buy an 80's-90's F150 after owning the 95 Bronco.. smog laws being what they are there's just no point to them these days, 200hp at best and 10mpg is just stupid. If I'm going to be limited to 200hp I'll buy a Mini S and get good mileage and have a car that's a blast to drive! (honestly I swear that a Mini S is the best starter drag & drive car you could buy.) Don't appologize for the IAC that was designed in the early 80's and never fixed.. that thing is a known POS.. and another issue I had with my Bronco that was always hunting for idle rpm from 425 to 900. Personally I would've ditched that style intake manifold for a normal 4brl style if given the chance. Those things may make okay torque but they've been proven to absolutely DESTROY horsepower and even mileage. A regular air gap style intake is the far better choice. Kyle from the Boosted Boys had the same thing with the window happen on both his doors on the MR2.. obviously the lexan kit they used was crap, or the carbon wasn't strong enough or both.

[@cliff4695]

Doing great work but man, you need to get on that Cody Johnson level. Those guys turn out cars fast

[@carry45calsw]

Drew leaves, now you got an Eddy to pick on. Good times had by all .

[@Firebug2009]

Oh eddy, get to work...going to have to at least send him for a sky hook, blinker fluid, lumber stretcher etc to get him moving around there lol

[@TheOriginalDaveJ]

Don't want to disappoint but, it's sunny af in Scotland 😉

[@ronbuckner8179]

That would be Morris-I for the plural. Eddy is Awesome. Do you pay when the power goes out?

[@jerryhatrick5860]

Ricky looks like he's putting himself behind bars. How the hell he gonna get out?

[@felixrodriguez2509]

Kevin!! If you move to a bigger shop, you will lose Eddie unless you put a GPS in his pants....😂

[@russellridge8623]

Wasted a lot of time on 302. My 90’ Bronco was always weak. Here in Republic of Texas once car is 25 years old ZERO emissions laws apply. Stroke that puppy to 331 or 347. AFR 185 heads. Edelbrock Pro Flo 4 kit, and Lykins Motorsports custom cam. Easy 400+ hp under 6000 rpm’s. Clear all that cumbersome Ford style intake, emissions, throttle body, other sheet.

[@PBaka13]

Isn't every project a budget project? It's just that some budgets are bigger than others. 🤣

[@BigMikesGarage]

Nothing like 230hp in a big heavy 4x4 truck. Those things were such dogs with a 302. They weren't real sporty with the 351.

[@prototype3a]

Carbide grit blade on the airsaw ?

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

I think so, it was a special “carbon blade” that I bought a while back.

[@billmadison2032]

get Eddie a full face particulate respirator for working on carbon fiber. that shit is not good for you. I'm pretty lax with PPE but cancer rates are high enough for A&P mechanics to make Hazzard pay on those airframes.

[@scottyforder3277]

Yes give Eddie more crap it fun to see

[@robertcallander1065]

Do you send merchandise to the UK??????

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

I think so!

[@bigbossimmotal]

Is it just me, or is something odd about Kevins left pinky nail in this shot?

NEED TO MOVE THE AC UNIT SO IT DOESN'T POOR THE HOT AIR INTO THE SHOP, IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE DUMPING THE HOT AIR OUTSIDE AND COOLING ITS SELF... THATS MAKING IT WORSE ON YOU ALL WHEN YOU RUN IT...

Yeah, that's our little office AC unit. We have a front of the shop remodel coming within the next few months that will address that situation ;)

[@dhabbott41]

Make Eddie and everyone else wear ear protection. I developed ringing in the ears in my mid fifties. It is not fun and it is hell to live with. I know when you are that age, it not something you think about. You will later.

[@Beat98TJ]

I hate to criticize anybody’s work, but Eddie might want to think about a mask while cutting carbon fiber. Fiberglass is kind of in the same boat. You don’t want that shit in your lungs. Otherwise, everything looks good

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

He was wearing one for the main cutting, it just wasn’t in the filmed part

[@aychdee981]

Kevin??!!!! WTH is wrong with your left pinky finger?!

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

lol, it’s a calcium growth apparently. I had it cut off in 2007 and it grew back. It’s starting to affect me putting my racing gloves on so I need to have it cut off again.

[@aychdee981]

@@KSRPerformanceFabrication gotcha bud, had a tendon burst in my shifter hand and have a bunch of gnarly scars in my forearm from the attempted fix and a hook for a right hand ring finger…makes some handshakes a little akward 🤣

This this looks like a great place to work. You guys are young so you may not appreciate how rare this kind of place is. When you are old and retired (like me) you may look back at the time you worked here and think that it was a great time in your life.

with the 302 intake swapped around thats standard fitments on the Australian 302. the holley setup you are putting in that is the setup I need you guys to quote me on. killer work as always lads.
