Hey everyone! I just noticed that I missed the volume adjustment on some of the time lapse audio. Sorry about the crazy volume swings! Slipped by me while I was up late editing :)

[@DarkHorseCom]

Lol. I thought it was my headphones at first... honest mistake.

[@mikeford6702]

Question for you Kevin you have a serious attention to detail do u have some sort of OCD not meaning this in a negative way at all just curious cause I am the same an o do have OCD really bad when it comes to cars im a mechanic by trade so not good for me boss says I take to long fixing thing but yeah awwome build love the channel

[@paulcopeland9035]

@@mikeford6702 You or Kevin don't really have OCD. That is misused. We have real OCD in our family and it is a terrible, debilitating disease. Fooling around with cars or the like has nothing to do with OCD. When you have time, check it out on a medical site. Be aware, it is not pleasant.

[@foamdataservices]

You just like doing the job right and have strong attention to detail, both things I want in a mechanic or car builder, especially if I am going to go 0-180+mph in 6-7 secs...

[@d0h]

Not even a worry my man... Although, if you wanna make a second category on your channel that is just Raw video uploads of any machining/fabrication work I'm sure you're gonna get viewers on it. I would totally watch the full duration of machineing that spacer or fabricating the roll cage...

[@JAFTW]

Did you guys know that Kevin loves to paint roll cages? It's his favorite thing. 😏

I am hoping that you continue to share your builds after you finish mullet.I understand that this is a higher profile build.That being said it’s obvious you have a following now. Keep it up 👍 Y’all rock

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

We plan to!!

[@kristinewilson5353]

He had the biggest crowd around him and mullet at the FF. Probably 100+ people. When he got it fired up for the first time the crowd roared and cheered. It was really cool to watch. I can't imagine how Kevin felt. This guy is legendary

[@DarkHorseCom]

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Learning to take more precautions in all my builds now, thanks for the mentoring Kevin!

[@billbry]

Kevin's work is so badass, I click the thumbs up before watching because he deserves ALL the Franklins from KZbin..

[@krazicanuck9045]

Yessss sirrr. Totally agree

[@davee.9906]

I could stare at the bottom of the car for an hour just so I could admire how nice and professional it is. Beautiful job Kevin, seriously. 👍

[@helplmchoking]

Some car channels, I watch for the personality. Some, I watch for the quality of the craftsmanship and design. But there are very, very few where you get someone who puts them both together and builds so well while being so good at explaining what’s going on, why it’s being made that way and making it fun. Kevin deserves all the viewers out there, man knows his shit

[@krazicanuck9045]

I’ll be honest. I can’t wait to see Mullet finished. That car is an absolute unit. Then after that. I can’t wait to see the start of a new project. From tear down to rebuilt. I want to see how Kevdog plans his builds start to finish on a virgin car

[@trabbledot9815]

He's going to build a civic?

[@travisenglish848]

[@austinmccool2463]

You’re going to have to list out all these drains and things for Cleeter to remember to close. My guy is still out here forgetting to put the dipstick in lol

[@bartleskeet1623]

That damn inner cooler pump even with the big note there

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Thats why there is only going to be one drain....and the intercooler pump will be aided by the Holley ;)

[@starfleetau]

Nice update Kevin, that lip looks painful but you can say you literally cooked yourself to make mullet work. That car will have a nice list against it if seems, almost burnt down the shop with the welder, burnt the owner of the shop.

[@loveeveryone5070]

Nothing like a good hot cup of coffee and a healthy dose of KSR for breakfast. Kevin , you and your crew do amazing work and I have never seen anyone put the detail into these cars that you guys do. Cleetus is lucky to have found a group of guys like you guys to build this car. I have never seen anyone else that could have done it better. Thanks for making breakfast great again!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@berthonaker5093]

What’s crazy is this man is using aircraft grade parts. I’m an avionics technician for a private jet manufacturer and we literally use the same exact connectors and and mounting hardware. That’s why the nut plate is that green color because that is the primer color that is used on every aircraft to my knowledge. Awesome build man! Can’t wait to see her rip!

[@tylerpayne07]

It's the small things that you do that make you the best. They mean so much to both driver and mechanic.

[@Xaltar_]

Kevin's work ethic and forward thinking are a joy to watch. It reminds me of watching my old man building cars when I was young, he also always tried to be 3 steps ahead of things and save hassle down the road. Every car he ever built for a customer lasted practically forever, any time he tried to build something for himself.... no end to the issues and hiccups lol.

[@sminton85]

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Please don't ever stop providing this style of content. Love seeing these builds from start to finish!

[@lucenarennan]

Finally Cleetus will have a clean interior and well organized car. Such an incredible job Kevin!

[@gwick358]

Kevin, you are a master. I learn a lot from you every episode. Most guys build kind of haphazardly (myself included). You show us the right way. Thanks.

[@413xxx86]

Cleetus is getting an epic machine! Great work guys keep it up!!!

[@Redman147]

Just looking at how this car is coming together is amazing. It's been a few years, but even then just the sheer amount of planning that goes into making sure everything fits, works, etc just blows my mind. I have trouble just watercooling my PC and planning that. Looking at a car I'm glad there are smart and capable people like you and your crew that do this for people. I'd absolutely pull every hair out trying to plan a build like this.

[@rogerminter3599]

I missed this series entirely. Its nice to watch it it now without a deadline.

[@davidfrance2915]

It's not often watching somebody's work day is interesting. It's great seeing all the hard work by Kevin and the boys. This is clearly what they love to do. The obsession to attention is just proof of the passion. Fantastic job on the video, edits, quality, and engagement. Can't wait to see more of Mullet and all the other passion projects

[@scotwiedower]

This car is a work of art and major craftsmanship!!!

[@HotRodDave]

Heavy tailgates and El Caminos. Quick shiftable ballast . Love that build

[@LegitElf123]

The extra two wires in the harness is such a small detail but this is a man who knows what he’s doing. Think and plan ahead so future problems already have solutions before they arise. Crazy crazy man amazing work

[@aSinisterKiid]

Damn those multiple mounting spots for the fuel tank is a great idea !!! That gives you a ton of options to try new stuff down the road and that's always a good thing. The prep during raceweek is always a battle. Sometimes it really isn't even about having the fastest car, but being the one who can make a good pass w/traction. Great work thinking ahead and trying to plan for that.

[@osumbuckeyenut]

Could we please get more videos on roll cage painting? It's the most exciting thing I've seen in a long time and you're so good at it. 🤣🤣🤣

[@bassfishermanify]

The knowledge you have is truly amazing. I appreciate the time you take to explain the details.

[@darylnicklen3685]

I love watching all the thought that goes in for potential problems that may arise. If your prepared usually you won't have a problem. It's always those pesky little things that take a heap of mucking around that give the most hassles. I watched other You tubers build cars but you shown what it's really like oversights and all so we see what the true build process is like Love this channel for the detail you show. Man the only things you don't show are the actual race setup settings and I don't blame you.

[@Redman147]

I'm learning so much about from this channel it's crazy. I never thought that if you have a somewhat short wheelbase car you could actually mount the fuel cell up and down the bed of the car, if it has one, to use as ballast and weight to get that center of gravity where you need it. Just innovative and I'm loving it.
