One step forward!

[@trkdrvr24]

Coming along great. Be safe and fast at the same time!! Love the channel and also a Missouri native. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🏁🏁

[@thomasdaddio741]

Shes moving right along - a lot of hard work pays off... Even back halfing a third gen could take months, mines just x275 cage and subframe/ k members, and that took forever. Keep up the good work homies

[@Peg_Leg9n]

3:15 I’m really liking this body mount with the dimples idea 💯👌👏

[@robsmith3628]

It's February, definitely don't rush this build. Do everything you have been wanting to do for a while!

[@jamesdupin737]

Keep chipping away!! It’s gonna fly!!! Hard work will pay off!! Looking better every video!!!

[@rachalhollier5679]

Very colorful, and like the way you are connecting frame to chassis. Dimple work is looking good! Take your time don’t cut corners it’s not you if you do. Great video

[@josephgardner1330]

Hell yeah any progress is good progress can't wait to see her back out and kicking ass

[@mikemaccracken3112]

Thanks for the videos Ryan and Meghan.

[@Dave_9547]

Appreciate your videos, I know it takes a lot of time. When you explain the process there are always a few little gems you pass along about what makes the car perform like it does.

[@bendaves77]

Awww yeah, the car is coming along nicely and she's going to be lighter!!! Really appreciate the time you spend recording and thanks Meghan for taking the time to edit and post these videos!!!

[@scottburrow8717]

Can’t wait to see that thing back on the track.

[@jfarm_1311]

Looking nice! 100lbs, people better watch out

[@mcintyretyler89]

Sure is cool seeing the bones under the dinousaurs' skin. Bad lil unit you have there my frend.

[@Polarbearr]

Bro I can't wait to see this car back in the winners circle.

[@chadsherman8851]

Great content! I learned a bunch watching u build back this car, keep up the videos 💪🏻

[@jeffshreves3816]

Yeah Buddy wont be long now!

[@alcoatornado2749]

OUTSTANDING PROGRESS!

[@mcintyretyler89]

The fact your making it all work with a cast iron block speaks for itself dude. That's why it works so good,

Great work guys

[@tonypatrick9362]

Coming back together nice can’t wait to see it wheels up

[@pdcustoms]

Love these updates

[@oikkuoek]

Good call on the rear window! In an air foil i.e wing, the trailing concave shape is the lift point. That is where the low pressure area lingers. If you create that shape on your rear window, it will lift the car up. Keep gusseting! Dynamic weight is still better than dead weight, stiff buck is better than floppy load carrier. Those doors look awesome, but the roof needs wire brushing. Second coat of spray is dead weight.

[@promodlifeonthestreet4670]

Great job .looking good ,props to you I'm glad to see you building your own car, not like some other you tube glamor queens that just drop off a car that was just purchased to have it built by someone else. You guys rock ,its funny to see people trying to copy your success.

[@RichardGibson-ll2bh]

Coming along guys awesome

[@scotthazelton519]

Thanks for sharing

[@goblebrotherracing5525]

Ryan you need to find you a cheap iron worker for the shop. It makes metal work so much easier for punching holes or cutting smaller metal. They have cut blades , hole punches, notchers , angle cutters , etc all on one machine.

[@billpace3489]

So that's how you build a po mod Looking good ryan. Won't be long and the Old KC will be back out.

[@uncledemonsgarage9981]

I love it when you post a new video :D 😂🤣😁

[@onegative8887]

The mad scientist hairdo lol

[@AdamHolder007]

Looking good

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

The car is looking good

[@cranjismcbasketball946]

Looking great. You should paint it to match your tool box?

[@danlundquist3907]

LQQkin good! Keep up the good work, it will pay off in the end! Keep dropping videos for us! 🔦🏁💰🤑🇺🇸 Ps: It would be cool and maybe profitable if you were to sell some piece of the OG Max Firebird on your site. Maybe cut metal and make things on the plasma or welding table???

[@dwaynecossey4867]

Dimple Die that was really popular in the mid to late 80’s. It fits the Firebird.

[@ckfpv]

Great work guys and gals 😂😂😂✌️

[@s10issues84]

I think if your doing those dimple dies for support that is cool! I do think that you should do them in odd numbers... it was something I was tought as a kid that odd numbers look better if it isn'e symetrical. It is amazing how much work goes into building a car. Keep it up, the content is definitely appreciated!

[@woodywood7759]

Anybody else getting excited to see how much faster this lightweight 2.0 version of KCMAXX will be

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

2.0 more like 9.0

[@RichardGibson-ll2bh]

I like the color on doors

[@quickdeuce]

Dimple die structural support is good stuff

[@BigMikesGarage]

Use a hydraulic press, or the bench vise would work for the dimple dies.

[@michaelkimberlycarroll8009]

Can’t wait

[@williamperryman6957]

set up the dimple die in the bearing press!

[@rondunlap4628]

Lookin great Ryan !!! Hows Megan doing

[@stevemayo1175]

Making Great Progress and it is Looking Good

[@Amxracer]

Cool 😎 !

[@austinheldenbrand]

If you guys decide to paint it, I’m about 45 minutes from ya. I’d sandblast it and trade for some tuning.

[@nojabjonny]

Whhat travel you running in struts 4.5 inch? What degree to you set them at?

[@RustyWells2]

It looks like you will make Bounty Hunters in 3 weeks or at least Hobbs in 4 weeks.

[@stjoejoe]

oh man get the block replaced and you will be brutal to beat Ryan,

[@dwaynecossey4867]

I think people are going to wish you hadn’t wrecked because the car is better than ever. Firebird A car barely alive. Gentlemen, you can rebuild it. You have the technology. You have the capability to build the world’s first bionic car…. Firebird will be that car. We can make it better than it was before Better…Stronger…Faster” …. 6 million dollar car.

What was that noise throughout the whole video.

You should duplicate that paint scheme but with a black base paint

Nnnaaahhhh. I like him hairy, he’s a big hairy piece of man meat. Plus at night if it’s really cold I can snuggle up next to him and it’s like cuddling a bear 🤷🏼‍♀️❤️

[@funfun8095]

What does your chassis cert to?

[@assaultlick2169]

Kinda surprised he's getting it recert'd. Doesn't seem like any events guve a fug about any safety equip, cages or diapers. That said, I'm glad he's doing it right. Lot of guys out there would be a hockey puck after having a blowover at the stripe

[@funfun8095]

@@assaultlick2169 NPK checks, I'm pretty sure, so if he wants to run small tire, there, he'll need it. Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. I'm building a 25.3 chassis, right now.

[@assaultlick2169]

@@funfun8095 yeah, I'm glad to see he's got an over built cage. Definitely makes the difference between rebuilding a car and scrapping it after a blower over like that on the big end .... 25.3 is pretty serious, man. Have fun in your rocketship 🚀

[@kcmaxxthefirebird267]

The new track here close to us that is opening this year requires it, as well as some other events. Not many but like you guys said better safe than sorry. That would be a shitty way to get DQ’d from a race, especially if it was a long drive 😂

[@swissmochaj]

Please don't paint it for a long time. Rock it like it sits for a while

Put a hemi in it and you will 60th foot better than the small blocks!

He's got more power than he could ever use on a 10.5 with his 540/procharger combo

[@hookmaster1109]

@@assaultlick2169 No he doesn't.

[@assaultlick2169]

@hookmaster1109 he's not putting 100% of the power down on shit surfaces with a small tire, pinecone. No one is at this level

[@RustyWells2]

Wtf no more wing Ryan? I think that might be a mistake the down force you get to the back tires is unreal and then you can take the weight out of the back of car it's almost a must to run run a wing if you are running backsides and light prep I think you will be putting the wing back in the future.

[@assaultlick2169]

Yeah, worked so well last time. Just throw 400 lbs up front and send it, right? 😆🤣 pinecone

[@kcmaxxthefirebird267]

He will have a wing, he will NOT have a wang, huge difference 😂😂😂😂

OK, hear me out..... 3. top. Fuel wings One on the hood, one on the roof., one on the hatch. Each getting progressively taller to get clean air.
