[@Doulop]

Amen! Thank you, so sorry for your loss.

[@kennygibbs9627]

I changed mine also, glad I watched a video 📹. Because a mechanic was gonna take stuff apart to pull battery up and out 👀 scary.

[@Doulop]

Yeah, for sure. Glad you were able to do it yourself. A lot cheaper.

[@terrywagaman8027]

Glad you're back and recouping...that was some sh_t you and your family went through...ugh 🙏🙏🙏

[@Doulop]

Thanks Terry! But God is good. We got through it!

[@GenralMayhem]

Dude! You're first, a Husband and a Father. God willing You Tube could become a paying hobby then escalate to a full time job.Till then like they say you gotta keep the Main thing ,the Main thing. Enjoy seeing you again.😊

[@Doulop]

It is a paying hobby now but very little. Still grateful. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jrsgarage9554]

Nice to see a new video.

[@Doulop]

Thanks man!

[@ronaldwarren5220]

Good to see you and your 91 again

[@Doulop]

Thanks Ron!

[@ironduke2660]

Life comes at you fairly quickly, hope you get it all straightened out. Take care!

[@Doulop]

Sure does. We are still working on the radon thing but hoping this is it for a while. Thanks a lot!

[@mcbuta06]

Thanks. Watching this process done, really helps much.

[@Doulop]

Awesome, glad I could help, thank you!

[@garypiont6114]

Bless your uncle.

[@Doulop]

Amen!

[@markbassman]

Did mine yesterday on my 94. For the screws on the wheel well you can also use a 1/4 inch Allen wrench. Was much easier than I anticipated.

[@Doulop]

Good to know. Yeah, it’s not hard to do. Glad you got it done :)

[@sall7029]

Appreciate the video & time you took on this.

[@Doulop]

Thank you very much! :)

[@garypiont6114]

I love your recliner. YES!

[@Doulop]

Thanks! My grandma died from leukemia in 2020 so I got her old chair. It’s a nice, broken in one :)

[@garypiont6114]

Dadgum lt1 starts on a dime. Nice sound. I like interstate no warranty is needed .

[@Doulop]

Yeah, my car has always turned over several times. It has the L98.

[@shawnguillory267]

Sorry for all you have been through man. It was great to see a new video from you this morning. Hopefully all the radon stuff will get resolved soon and you guys can go back to just living and not dealing with one thing after another.

[@Doulop]

Thanks so much, Shawn! The radon mitigation system is being installed today. I filmed a new video 2 days ago just to put the files on my computer and have the files corrupt. They had video but no sound. I was bummed. I hope you are doing well!

[@kennygibbs9627]

Yes it's been awhile 😌

[@Doulop]

I know. Sorry man! Thanks for watching!

[@garypiont6114]

Good job with the radon. Kudos

[@garypiont6114]

Radon just needs power ventilation.

[@garageassembled4701]

We are new to the C4 world and thanks for the info!

[@Doulop]

Oh awesome! Welcome. Thank you for watching and letting a comment. I hope you love your C4 :)

[@luaguilar4430]

[@Doulop]

Thank you! You are welcome! We are doing well!

[@Doulop]

I hope you and your family are well too!

Sorry I'm 87. Not mean to type name wtong

[@Doulop]

Please don’t feel bad. No problem at all. I appreciate you watching the videos :)

[@richlash4806]

im with ya on the house fire thing im pulling plugs on things that arent even on

[@Doulop]

Haha!! Same here! Freaks me out!

[@mcintirefamily]

We had the same exact thing happen July 27th last year. I remember it bc it was my wife and mines anniversary. She called me crying and I was on the road and had to drive an hr to get back home. It happened at 4:30 in the morning. Our furnace, electric fire place, stove, and dvd player all got fried. Now it makes me want to get a Radon test done in my house 😧

[@Doulop]

Sorry to hear that. Hope it all worked out. Yes, I would highly suggest getting one done. Best of luck!

[@gwhizz44]

Yo Dude! Good to see you again.

[@Doulop]

Thanks so much! :)

[@dominicdoyle2895]

loving our channel sir. Great content and amazing car. I may have to get an identical version of the C4. Thanks

[@Doulop]

Thank you so much! Means a lot! I hope you can get one :)

[@poweredByAxel]

Hay. missed u in Slovenia ;) For the gap between battery panel and door, the trick is to slide the panel a bit further to the front end of the car. Hear from u soon. In 1 month i come to California ;) . My vette is still in the paintjob procedure. will post some pict to u

[@Doulop]

Hey hey!! Thank you! That’s a good tip. Thanks for commenting. Hoping the paint job is going well. I hope your visit to California is awesome. I’ve never been to California before. Take care!

[@jeepguymb45]

Good job. Now pull that battery back out and clean up the grounds. Lol. While the battery is out check and or replace the fuses.

[@Doulop]

Thanks. Where are the grounds? And what fuses? The fusible links?

[@garypiont6114]

It's about time. We been liking your vids then you hid in a belfry. Hope your dad is doing well.

[@Doulop]

Thanks man! I know. I feel bad about it. Dad is doing great. I’ll see him later and I will tell him you asked about him :)

[@jeffspicolli593]

Content doesn't have to be C4 stuff. When you did your garage you made a lot of content. You and Mother doing the basement would have been fun. Hope your gonna take us to some car shows this year.

[@Doulop]

Hey Jeff, over the years, anything that wasn’t corvette content, the views were terrible. Isn’t worth my time of filming and editing for little to no views. That stuff takes a lot of time. If people would watch it, I would LOVE to film non Corvette stuff, trust me.

[@jeffspicolli593]

@@Doulop Car shows it is! LOL.

[@Doulop]

Hahahaha!!

[@jeffspicolli593]

So happy to see you back dude!!!

[@Doulop]

I was thinking of you, Jeff! You’ve been asking so here you go :)

[@scuff433]

Hey you're back !!

[@Doulop]

Sorry for the year delay! Thanks for coming back to the channel!

[@717FTE]

Welcome back! Are you a CVCC member?

[@Doulop]

Thank you. I am not. I’ve thought about it many times but never did.

[@717FTE]

@@Doulop I recently joined. It’s a great group of people. A good bunch of C4s too. I have a 1990.

[@Doulop]

I know I should. Would be a lot of fun. Glad you enjoy it.

[@richlash4806]

going to Carlisle this year im going to try to get there

[@Doulop]

Yes sir! Hope to see you

[@franklinyoutubehu2349]

I know you have a problem with your radio. I had a problem where the radio was flaky whenever you reattach the battery. It would just display the time and then a blank when you try to turn it on, or sometimes it works, but you can't turn it off or it would start working if you turn on the ignition, but as soon as you start the car, it would fail. The radio seems very sensitive to power surges when you attach the battery, some times it works, and sometimes it doesn't. It works when you attach very quickly with no sparks. So try that. I noticed the voltage was getting low on my 3 year old battery, so I changed it and the new battery seems to have fixed the radio problem. So maybe the radio needs very stable power. Also, some references say a group 78 battery will work, but it doesn't, you have to modify the tray to cut off both ends to make it fit. So use group 75 on your 90's Corvette. I have 1996 convertible.

[@Doulop]

Hey, thanks so much for your comment. I never knew this. I actually tried putting my CDM back in the car about 3 weeks ago because it had been laying in my garage for a few years now. I just wanted to button everything up and “forget” about it. I had the passenger side plastic shield down and out of the car during that time as well. Anyways, I went to plug all the cables back into the CDM and when I went to plug the one in, I just heard what sounded like a bunch of sparks behind the dash so I quickly unplugged it. I just decided to forget it so I removed the CDM again, put the plastic shield thing back up and laid the CDM in the garage out of the way. I doubt I will ever get to it. Seems like so many possibilities and the radio isn’t important enough for me to put time and energy into it. It sucks but I would rather hear the exhaust. If I do want music, I use my AirPods :) thanks for commenting and watching my videos! Have a great day!

[@jeepguymb45]

Fantastic looking basement. Looks good. Will you do a retest for radon?

[@Doulop]

Thanks a lot, looks very nice! We did retest and it was double, lol. The mitigation system is being installed on Friday.

[@anthonypiraino6742]

I changed mine any idea about a bad ground to dash board I cleaned all the ground connections to the chassis driver side found two one under the battery box passenger side also two to the chassis any idea where there are more ground wires my digital speedometer and gas gauge flicker when I hit a bump

[@Doulop]

I am sorry but I have no knowledge of the grounds and things on this car. I should, though. Good luck!

[@loxety]

Going to Carlisle corvette show this year?

[@Doulop]

Yes! Are you?

[@loxety]

@@Doulop Oh yeah! I got a heck of a deal on a set of c5 wheels last year! Looking for some inner door panels.

[@djpaulqc]

What are you using for an air intake housing. You have the same motor I do. My air intake is different.

[@Doulop]

It is a Vortex Cold Air Rammer. I bought it about 10 years ago. You can get black or see through. Thanks for watching!

[@jeepguymb45]

As I watched again, I noticed that the battery was dated 2/24. I went with an interstate battery

[@Doulop]

Yeah, that’s when the battery was made, I guess. Interstate is good too.

[@garypiont6114]

Value city gym shoes?

[@Doulop]

Haha! You mean the black ones in the video or the Hoka’s on the thumbnail? The black ones, they are the cheapest shoe from Walmart. I only wear them for working on cars or mowing grass.

[@garypiont6114]

What insurance company?

[@Doulop]

NCM Classic car insurance. It’s through the National Corvette Museum!

[@garypiont6114]

@@Doulop please do a driving vid.

[@Doulop]

@garypiont6114 that is on the schedule :)

[@Laith-js6li]

Do you still have the rounta

[@Doulop]

No, we traded it in back in 2018, I think. We miss it. Wish we still had it but it needed a transmission soon so we parted ways, lol.
