Hey Finn I love your channel but the fab work by Kevin is so precise it's beautiful

[@teknoaija1762]

when i used to complain about how cold it is,my grand dad said:no,it was cold in winter war.it was fought against soviets 39-40 winter and it was minus 40-45 degrees celsius.he told that one time his hair froze to the ground and he got very high fever which defrosted the situation and he went back to the frontlines to shoot him some soviet ass.now that is so cool,it s cold.

Nice welds. Excellent fabrication. I wonder how many people appreciate how skilled Kevin is? I worked 40 years a toolmaker and Design Engineer at Ford Research & Development in the UK (They call it something girly like Ford Campus now) and we didn't have many who could match Kevin's workmanship.

Kevin rarely goes balls to the walls on the dyno. He'll usually get his fuel and timing to where it's giving him clean runs but he leaves his real testing to the track.

Seeing how good fabricators uniformly mount non-mirrored turbos is very interesting to me. Also most of us will never be able to afford mirrors so this content is very valuable.

As a welder, I can appriciate you purging that hotside pipe while welding. Makes the inside of the weld so much cleaner.

[@brianwalden5734]

I don't watch alot of race car shops but Kevin I love yours cause you ain't just throwing things together you look at longevity and also having to work on it later. A+ with the content not just the elco

[@johndevries8759]

Kevin, nice work as usual, too bad Cleetus has to see the turbos to feel fast, it pretty much negates all the work you did to move the engine back and down to clear the hood, and it ruins the looks of the car also in my opinion. Anyway your work is outstanding, almost to the point of obsessive, but no, it's just perfect, which is good enough.

[@notold37]

Just watching you weld up the turbo hot side and filling it up with gas to stop the burn inside the pipe, bloody awesome, beautiful welding, and I love what you said on cleatus channel, about having 20 years of experience and knowledge, and wanting to share what you know, thank you Kevin, your an inspiration 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘PS freaking brilliant music choice for this video

Man, I had really hoped he was going to make this thing look good and put them back at the fire wall. Your work is incredible either way the car just won't be ad clean as it could be and hanging that weight over the front end sucks for setup.

[@CTemple82]

I agree man, I’m sure this car will just be another RMR Dragweek car thats made for endurance and quick enough to compete in whatever class it fits in. Not saying it’s not an amazing build, because everything KSR puts out is second to none, but I’m sure this car won’t be setting any records on fire. KZbinrs will aways choose hype and wow factor over functionality. Whatever gets more views I guess.
