One Day Closer to Testing The Scratch and Dent SMX… Can We Make It??? Kevin Says Yes.

[@akaWildThing1967]

3240 lbs with Steve Morris in the seat. Awesome build, guys . Congratulations 🎊.

[@RonaldRepinski]

I was guessing 3250

[@photodave219]

Color coding lines and fittings?! That’s genius! What I would kill for that on my Honda. Great project. Great collab.

[@brianmcmahon2216]

2892 full of fluids (without Steve in the car) 😅. Car is coming together beautifully. KSR and SME making big strides.

[@jerryhatrick5860]

2736. No driver. Who's the ass hat up above making this a political thing? . Idk.. Dumbass got the most likes. And responses. Cant we just enjoy the upload and Kevin and Steve's craft? . Thank the vets not the face to take the blame mouth to sell the dream.

I can't begin to comprehend the money you are spending on that car ! An amazing machine !

[@Ross-l1r1d]

helps he builds the engine

[@newmexicann]

Championship cars cost championship level money,. but you're right. My calculator doesn't have enough zeros to calculate the cost. That's why we enjoy watching the videos. Experiencing what they do brings us some of the satisfaction and excitement.

[@Berm_Blaster]

That KZbin money coming in clutch for this build. I wonder how long it has been since he has built and sold a new SMX? I can't imagine him selling multiple SMXs often or very many. I'd bet maybe one per year. His money makers are all the smaller builds he does like converting that nitrous engine to a boosted engine, the big back Hemi, etc and the KZbin picking up has surely brought in some significant money. I would say the Camaro build wouldn't have been possible if his KZbin didn't pick up after the deal with Cleetus

[@timwatts7014]

@@Berm_Blasteri would think we all would be surprised at the number of smx he sales per year considering he’s known world wide for his engine designs /performance

[@Berm_Blaster]

@newmexicann well Steve is saving like $60,000 on the engine alone since he owns it plus the car was partially built when it became his. I'm sure Steve and Kevin have some kind of deal where Steve gets a bit of a discount in exchange for an engine or something for Kevin. I wouldn't be surprised if Kevin is having Steve build a badass engine for Soccer Mom. I would guess Steve will have spent around $100,000 - $150,000 on the build total since it's having bus personal SMX in it and previous customer having some work done on it before pulling the plug. I am curious on an accurate number on how much Steve will have into it when it's all done and out of Kevin's shop. However I don't see Steve giving us an accurate amount, seems like most people that build high end cars like the Camaro or Eagle or Murder Nova or Shocker or that lime green Mustang won't ever disclose of an accurate price unfortunately. Probably because they don't want the wives knowing how much they have spent on a car 🤣💀

[@lesmond7301]

Absolutely love this channel. Love this build and especially love your concern and forethought for your wife. Your channel is the BIG "Go To" on Wed or Thurs nights. Just awesome. From LesMond down under in NZ.

[@Richard76-pp6ic]

So genius with the red,blue and black hose. Thanks Steve

[@billbogar8356]

Steve, use a flex line for the oil suction. Do not use a hard line. Things move on this type of car, don’t use a hard line! I love all of your videos, Bill

[@stevejones6647]

The stainless steel hardline is the fuel suction line. Braided lines have been proven to collapse on the suction side with a really big pump like Steve is running. The wiggins clamps allow for some flex

[@ronbuckner8179]

Ok we’re finally talking about colors. Steve, you gotta give it the “SM Woodgrain touch” that’s your calling buddy, we’ll all know it’s you. You could use Kyle’s electric blue if you want it, or you could give Val a say, but the woodgrain is all “Morris Family”. No one else is playing with woodies. It’s beautiful!

[@9000able]

I hope this car performs much better then expected & that it costs less then as well. Thanks for sharing!!!!!❤

[@veto8792]

So excited to see this car finished and going down the track. Probably more than Mullet and Eagle “combined”.

[@Ole_CornPop]

The hail are you talkin bout?

[@veto8792]

@ Don’t think I could have been more clear than that.

[@haydenroyer]

​@@veto8792you for real? What makes you say that and Mullet initially wasn't built near to the same level

[@veto8792]

There are PLENTY of cars like Eagle at the strip. It’s one of the most popular cars to turn into a drag car. I’m more impressed with the cars you can drive on the street AND at the track. Especially at this power level. Mullet is an impressive car but this one has a lot better chance at breaking records like getting down into the 5 second 1/4 mile times.

[@newmexicann]

In my opinion.... This camaro excerds the build on another Camaro hot rod that has a hell of a lot of hype but was disappointing at the git-go. Going at it thoughtfully, expert engineeting, expert fab and assembly. This car is engineered and built by the ones that will drive it. Mistakes snd future modifications will be minimal.. I doubt the windows will blow out 😁 Big SMX dual turbos. Thoughtful testing snd tuning . Lets see when its on full pass, mid 3s, low 5s. Wait and see. Steve knows what fast is. His 3700 pound wagon is 4.0 or better.4500 hp. Same motor as the Val Camaro Hats off to KSR. Kevin is a fine engineer. Ricky and Eddie are primo Fabers. Anticipation of testing next week is very high . Cant wait !!!

[@BLUEYENKO]

It’s not near the engine that’s in the wagon and it’s a small tire car.

[@renelachance8430]

Car looks awesome and the the guest for the weight is 2965 and the colour should be dark blue with hints of red and white

[@TheStumpSitters]

Getting off pad and a boat would be the equivalent of locking up the torque converter in a race car. Its a unique experience the first time you do it when the steering gets light and the speed jumps 5 to 6 mile an hour instantly.

[@strykerentllc]

LOL, "it's gettin' on plane, Steeeeve..." Some people live for it. The rest of us just like hearing you say, 'wahder'. Cheers! EDIT: Weight with you in it--- 3225#

[@redneckhippiefreak]

lol I totally understood what being "Up on the plate" meant. The plate in our case was the actual metal plate attached to the motor above the prop and the two pitch plates on the tail of the boat. That was all that was in the water at 100mph.

[@stevemorrisracing]

Yes!!

[@bobwilliams9395]

5001 with Steve and Dewey.🤣🤣🤣Great job I can't wait to see it on the track.🤘🤘

[@countryracer69]

Lol at the pad thing. I knew what ya meant. I didn't comment because this isn't a fiberglass or boat channel. I could tell you knew what you meant. I have been learning this stuff for last 3 years. Added a pad to a 1971 old race boat. Then gave it to my son and started building my hydrostream. Paid for by working on a drag and drive car lol. Pad sized vary btw. And shapes do as well. Going for triple digits in my hydrostream.

Smart man, Steve. Take your time. And hey, you said shes been 7.90, so shes probably been faster than 98% of the people in this comment thread. Not afraid to admit including me. Fastest ive ever been was 8.57.

[@LucyAlice-h2o]

Can't believe how awesome this is!

[@charlienewbery4157]

Steve a nice ghost SMX wrap on the car would look sick bit like toms wrap looks cool and advertise as well.

[@steveletson6616]

I doubt it is going to be wrapped. Steve and Val and Clark are about my age and I see wraps as a cheaper less better looking alternative to a good paint job. I think Clark will be painting it an adult color or possibly two.

[@1320pass]

As far as the comparison to the wagon, that Camaro may be lighter but it's got more frontal area thus more drag. The Impala SS sedans like my 96 is actually a pretty slick body shape for aero.

[@kevindornik3925]

Steve i totally understood what you were talking about with the bass boat, I have been doing boats for 30 plus years out here on the west coast, if anyone wants to learn high speed boat stuff have them watch the king of offshore! It's on KZbin, Reggie Fountain will always be the king of speed boats! I don't care what anyone else thinks! He owned the kilo record!!

[@fmerkl]
