Mullet El Camino! Transmission Back In and Rear Suspension Modifications!!

Kevin, ol cleeter may have brought you to the spotlight, but its you, your team, your attention to detail and knowledge that keeps us coming back, keep doing what your doing and i hope this will bring you all the possibilities you can think of. Always lookin forward to the next KSR video. Awesome job brother!!!!!

[@bluemod9813]

That Elsa joke was such a dad joke but I admittedly laughed a little to hard at that

[@Nanan00]

Kevin, make sure you have at least a R13 rated insulation on the walls and a R19 on the roof of your building otherwise that AC unit will never stop running and won't cool down the shop. Closed cell spray foam will be your best bet and will also help reduce air intrusion into the building, the better it is sealed up the less you have to cool and dehumidify. Also for the roof given its metal, if it isn't already coated doing a Elastomeric thermal barrier paint in white will drastically reduce the thermal load transmitted to your building and thus reduce the load on the AC unit.

[@justaguynamedmax8207]

I second that. And I have nearly 20 years experience in construction. Too many people over look insulation when heating and cooling shops and garages, and without it, you are just burning money.

[@justaguynamedmax8207]

It looks like the ceiling is insulated(maybe justa vapor barrier?). The walls are covered so hopefully they are already insulated.

[@Morassabe]

Well said, I'm in the energy conservation industry, and it sounds like you are too! I second all that you said.

[@leftyeh6495]

Here in the north we're up to R28 minimum in walls and R50 in attics. You could spray that with closed cell and get pretty aggressive depending on how many 2" passes you are willing to pay for and wait on. $50k in foam will pay for itself in a few years depending on how cold you want it.

Can't wait to see your take on the Deathmetal Charger - the IG posts from Tony and Mike have me impatient to see the actual MTOD episode. I think it's so awesome that you've become the East Coast goto for the guys when they need help.

[@Sboyles80]

Just to let you know, I as someone who does not know a lot about the mechanics of a drag car appreciate your time laps videos.

I look forward to seeing Mullet get further dialed in at the track. No dought Mullet had a "following" before you started working on it. That being said your skills have elevated its popularity more than I can imagine anyone else would have. I need to see more of the Nova project Kevin.

[@austindickinson212]

Thanks for the chuckle Kevin, both of my girls jumped up onto the couch when they heard Elsa and the Let it Go joke.

It’s sad but I have to chuck the dueces on the place because the new owners don’t care about quality. They only look for the short term money not the long term customer. Been there 10 years. And you guys remind me of “The old Days”

Swear to god, you're the Mr. Rogers of car channels. I half expect to see you change your shoes and tell me I'm special

[@casey6518]

Kevin, I would have the duck work hanging about midway between the floor & ceiling, bc cool air will go towards the floor & hot air rises. So you may not actually be cooling as much air as you think if you put the duck work middle ways & may not cost as much to cool the shop. I would definitely invest in air conditioning bc you will enjoy your work more & be less stressed in a cool environment.

The Elsa joke was funny. We’re in SWFL and our “shack” isn’t air conditioned either. So we know your pain Kevin. I did a ton of research a few years ago to try and learn some suspension tuning theory. I was definitely interested to hear what you had to say about instant centers and antisquat. I love technical “dark art” stuff like that.

[@Onewheelordeal]

That lil anti squat drawing is awesome, did a good job of filling in the real world application blanks I'd had

[@TrackGeeks]

Don't know if this works for your setup but you may consider spot cooling instead of cooling the entire shop. You can install a couple AC units with ducts you can point into the areas where people spend the most time. Will give them a lot of relief and be a lot easier on the budget. We take that approach in industrial buildings where its not practical to condition the entire space.

[@dallynsr]

Kevin I’ve done 3-ton mini-splits in garages for customers and friends and if you mount them not too high they only cool the air under them and not up above in the rafter spaces…saving you money. Plus with 20seer machines(or higher) they don’t run up as much an electric bill as central ducted stuff does. My installs aren’t nearly as expensive as people think-Way better than coolers and blowers. (They also heat in the Winter just as good as they cool in the Summer)

[@fr.rustymatheny7707]

We have a paint booth as well, but only 1 lift right now. The HVAC didn't hurt my electric bill more than 60 a month. Air compressor costs me more than the HVAC . Heat is from the heat pump and you probably didn't need as much heat as we do so- your costs go down. We ran duct work "open" in shop a foot above the lifts, as part of cooled/heated space, didn't have to wrap the pipes and that saved money as well. I did add more lighting as we missed the sunshine. Biggest surprise though was welding gas bottles lasting longer . Negatives have been : needed more lighting, a bit more cleaning as nothing blows out . Hope this is some small help. Great channel, great work man.
