Mullet El Camino Build Episode 10!! Custom Fuel Pump Mount and Final Front Frame Welding!

Another installment of the Mullet build series. This time we wrap up a bunch of small welding projects on the front frame, clean off the old paint and then repaint the front frame section. We also fabricate a custom mechanical fuel pump mount and set it up on the engine. Stay tuned for the assembly videos starting later this week!! Please Like, Share, Comment and Subscribe!!

Kevin is the only guy who can sit there and explain to you how a washer works and keep you interested the entire time. Awesome work!

So damn true!

[@Matty.Hill_87]

Dudes like yoda.. If he talks you listen 👌😂

[@Matty.Hill_87]

By that I mean he's a master of his craft, Not that he's a little green guy that can move things with his mind.. Obviously 🙄😂

[@codythrasher3930]

I haven’t watched yet but saw this and I’m preemptive putting my knowledge out there haha every washer has a certain side that goes down

[@juniorleal7629]

What.. no cup holders????!!!!!

[@dorkfish101]

being an engineer who has to design fasteners for high vibration environments, seeing you use Nord Lock washers made me ridiculously happy

[@brianwright9514]

Yeah. I wish regular "lock washers" would go extinct since they don't actually work. Still though... There's no substitute for a properly designed bolted joint. Whenever I see a lock washer of any kind, my first thought is bad engineering. However, seeing a Nordlock... It gives me more confidence.

[@johanras371]

Haven't seen them in years use to use them Alot

[@alanloyd7164]

Just using nylon insert nuts for everything is my modus operandi 😂

For the younger guys and little more green guys. Take a look around his shop while there panning. Neat, working clean, organized. If you ever look for a shop near you these are good Indicators they may have something. Keep eye out for Customer cars and shop cars also. Been in this a long time take it for what it’s worth. Great vid as usual Kevin

[@jdias51]

Also look at how long it takes for cars to get completed nothing worse than shop jail Body shops are known for holding your car hostage

[@joseywales3789]

@Kevin Anthony, there's a place for everything and everything is in it's place! and once you've finished one small part of a project, tidy up, clean up, sweep up, tools away even if you know that you're going to need the tool in the next 20 minutes for the next part of the project, I've seen it that I've been called away and come back the next day and that tool that I need isn't where it lives, I know that I used it yesterday and I can't find it, I know that I put it somewhere safe but where? Then I spend 45 minutes searching for the tool and turning the workshop upside down! It's a waste of time and effort and gets me angry! I prefer to spend the time and effort keeping my workspace clean and tidy. My pet hate is when someone borrows one of my tools and forgets to return it or returns it broken and they didn't tell me that they have broken it! Tools aren't cheap but time effort and calmness in the workshop is very expensive! I've walked into workshops where all you can hear is hammer on steel and the place is a complete mess, not where I would take my vehicle!

[@iknklst]

One of .my cars is currently at the fabricator for some much needed upgrades. After I dropped the car off and talked to the owner about what needs done, I went home and straightened out my garage because I realized that compared to how orderly neat and clean his shop is, I'm a downright slob.

Thank you Kevin, it is THE BEST CHANNEL ON KZbin. sights, sounds, explanations, now titles. The change in tempo of the music, come back and see the frame PAINTED AND NO DEBRIS SITTING AROUND. Truly outstanding attention to detail, and focus is 100 percent. Great joy to watch.

[@quickdeuce]

Kevin is pulling ALL the stops as he and his team create perhaps the finest hotrod in the Freedom Factory fleet. All the knowledge he's learned in numerous automotive racing venues are going to be in and on the Mullet ElKo. We're holding our breath awaiting it's first blast down the track. Thank you Kevin for sharing this AWESOME build!

[@doozerchuck8625]

Can't get enough of these KSR videos! There is just something about Kevin and how thorough he and his crew is, it's very enjoyable. Hopefully soon he will be getting his crew more involved in the videos, kinda like Cleetus and Fasterproms do.

[@campingwithhomer7371]

It's such a pleasure to watch fabricators do it properly. Kevin and his team definitely get an "Atta Boy" from me this morning!

[@NUNG89]

Its amazing watching you make things out of nothing. People would look at that bracket and not think of it twice because it looks like something finished you buy from a manufacturer. It's the little things like that time lapse that will help people realize how much work truly goes into making these machines do what you make them do.

[@brandonwoodcock4374]

Kevin's attention to detail is insane. Even looking out for the guys, who later on down the line, will be wrenching on it.

[@billyvance5532]

I agree very detailed focused. He should have a waiting list for his shop builds. I never thought I would enjoy watching someone else work.

[@almostthere2024]

This is science, technology engineering, art and math at its finest. Add in passion, skill, knowledge, experience, teamwork and an unwavering focus on detail. Voila, we have automotive awesomeness. We're loving this project. Thank you KSR for sharing the journey.

Ah man. I might have to watch this in the morning again, just so I can watch it with my coffee on Saturday morning. ☕️

[@overyonderjustapiece]

Kevin, we need a full 360 build of this car. Start with bare frame and go forward with 4-8 cameras recording all the way around. But only for the final assembly and fire up.

[@zachcheccucci1173]

This must be the only channel without know it all people commenting how you shouldn’t do this and that. Goes to show you’re killing it K dawg! Keep up the A+++ content!

[@jiraiyathegreat2909]

I actually find the fabrication stuff very interesting. I am a skilled carpenter but those are skills I don’t have right now. I may never get to have an opportunity to learn it but I really appreciate the skill that it takes to do it and make it look so simple.

[@scotwiedower]

Kevin your attention to detail is ABOVE top notch! These videos are teaching us novice guys tons!!!! Thank you for putting these videos out and please keep the tips a coming. Gainesville is luck to have you and your crew as a builder.

Always learning on your channel Kevin. Today it was the Nord Locker which seems awesome in those places you have a lot of vibrations to handle with.

[@SSGMinotaur]

The engine shaking has been driving me nuts all video 😂 I’m getting pretty excited! After like 2 years between buying, trying to do jet car, leaving as undecided, then deciding to make super fast, we are getting close to seeing Mullet make his first pass

[@christianbuczko1481]

Mullet with a jet was a suicide machine worthy of a darwin award if it was completed as per the stated plan. That engine mount and angle are life or death critical. It HAS to point down about -1 degree. The v8 in the front would lift the front wheels to positive angles, ie it would take off the first time the jet was used with the v8. Dumping that idea was the smartest thing he did and its going to be alot safer.

[@DiehardDawgs]

Yea the engine got me too! Strange

[@SSGMinotaur]

Very much understood why they didn’t go with the jet plan I was never actually a fan of the idea of a jet car, but that hasn’t made the wait any easier lol

[@54raceman]

I seriously wanted to get off the couch and go lean a broom or something against it so it would quit moving lol

[@johnathonscheurer1233]

@@christianbuczko1481 to be fair, they had a plan that the v8 was only a 330' to 1/8th mile then they would cut it off and hit the jet so that situation didn't arise
