Today on The Skid Factory, AL and Woody continue work on Ted Bullpitt with some help from Budget Thor. The Body mounts are replaced with some new items supplied by Resto Country along with fitting the wiring loom so that we can hit the key to test the starter motor and get some oil circulating throughout the engine!

Keen to get a garage banner flag if you ever get any made .

[@odogzero]

Al continues to be the most charming and unlikely show host. Much respect

[@mikewright9378]

Wanted to say thanks to you guys, been working on an old jag I bought that hadn't been driven in 20 years that after 18 months of work, on and off, I got to drive for the first time today. I wanted to say thanks because watching your videos helped me stay motivated when the road running seemed a little too long. Best part I went to register it today and the office was on Gold Coast road. Cheers from the states!

[@alanbutler2579]

Good to hear Mike. Rebuilding a car is a big undertaking and getting it on the road is a massive achievement.

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Hello Mike, I too have a Jaguar that I intend to restore and it’s fantastic you’ve got hours on the road and are using it. Well done. Not made much progress on my car as other projects and maintenance of them has got in the way. It will be happening though. I bought the car in 2000... have done less than 4000 miles in it since then. That wasn’t the intention. Will be YouTubing the work I do to the car.

[@mikewright9378]

@shane Yeah, it wasn't perfect but that is where they went and got the Iron Lion from right?

[@whipa]

"Budget thor" hahaha dont know why, but thats hilarious.

[@blackcountryme]

Exactly, I can't stop laughing.

[@joshbooth9772]

Best Nickname ever! Freakin' Hilarious!

[@mannycalavera121]

I laughed too hard at that

[@brianross4057]

Luv the safety clamp on the hinge.

[@888johnmac]

far classier than a piece of wood / old floor brush

[@JordyValentine]

you need them with these old girls, bonnet stays get in the way and fitting struts tends to warp the bonnet and doesn't look original

[@beardbuilds5140]

Best start to a Wednesday ever ! Who doesn’t love a bit of iron lion in the morning

[@squidgymop1]

Its great to see father and son working so well together well done Al and Woody

[@1979Malibuick]

What's the cure for a shitty, cold, wet Tuesday? Fresh Skid Factory, that's what! Thank you budget Thor for taking one for the team!

[@JimPropert]

Seeing those dress rims, and hub caps brought back childhood memories of my father's cars.

[@jbm3458]

Drive In movies and accidental kids, true nature of kingswood life

[@curtislitchfield1378]

I just learned how a non unibody car is put together. This should be helpful when I get started on my C-10! Thanks mates!

[@markbithrey3635]

What no blooper out take? Love the kings wood brings back childhood memories of burning myself on the seat buckle and sticking to the vinyl seats great work guys

[@boomer_bob6493]

I do enjoy watching you work Al. Like most evil geniuses you're not comfortable in the public eye, but you suffer through all the same. Keep the great content coming Al and Woody.

[@alexyo3927]

Guys I'm loving the show, your all honest blokes and I'd happily chill with a beer with you next time your in the Netherlands

[@enduroboi6780]

Haha you went all American on us with the 5 small bottles of oil 😉 top stuff boys I'm lovin this build, got a soft spot for kingswoods and 304s 👌👌👌

[@BradGryphonn]

4:00 I used to use them as dog food bowls. I once had about 50 different hubcaps from different cars, ranging from ones from an FX, old Ford dome-type hub caps, some from the EH era, Dodge, Cadillac etc. I'd buy them from the wreckers for about 50 cents up to 2 dollars back in the early 90s. Kawana Wreckers up in Rockhampton had pallet bins full of them. I polished a lot of them and had them hanging around my bar under the house.

[@ernestodeus6670]

Love the builds guys, not second guessing you here, but don't you usually put a rubber grommet in that newly drilled hole in the firewall, so the cabling doesn't rub?

[@whiskeyinthejar24]

There is a Kingswood hubcap in my mum's backyard that has been the dog bowl for as long as I can remember. 25+ years. Still good.

[@fitzyholden1036]

Have only recently started using Kingswood Country for parts for my HR. Good mob, helpful and prices are reasonable.

[@paulcost6446]

Yep most of my replacement parts on my HZ tonner from them as well.

[@daveb5016]

Thanks Mal Leyland for the narration.

[@detroitredwing919]

I love those steelies with the beauty rings and stock center caps💪 great look 👍much love

[@oldninjarider]

love the OE Holden label on those busted bushings.

[@JordyValentine]

The label doesn't usually survive that long either

[@Pablo668]

Budget Thor, ha ha ha love it. I shouldn't be, but I am somewhat amazed at the condition of those old body mounts.

[@omfgishBenneh]

"Wheres my beer?" What do you mean Woody? They're only lemon squashes ;)

[@danieltjr5649]

The Kingsy is looking beautiful can't wait to hear it fire up i think i better watch the next episode before going home ☺☺☺.

[@biggypsy75]

love the wheels ,perfect!

[@Encom0]

Excellent advice that flow and pressure aren't, and don't mean the same thing. Just because you have one you may not have the other at the required levels.

[@67comet]

I love me some white walls (specially when it's a sleeper ;) ) .. "67 Mercury Comet 202 with White Walls, and a "65 Ford Falcon w/White Walls, both with dog bowl hubcaps .. Whoop!

[@CharleyGeorge]

I love staying till the very end for those extra juicy bits

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

All that rubber action,... Will be the first Kingswood that doesn't rattle since the warranty ended 😄

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

Atlas portawalls bro, white walls that can be used with any rubber you choose and replaced if they get damaged

[@nismofreak33]

thanks again guys 😁

[@emceeboogieboots1608]

Seeing that fuel tank reminded me of my first job as a petrol pumper. I HATED trying to fill those fkn wagons!

[@victorbitter583]

It's coming along good. The music this week was an improvement on last week. I prefer a Currawong with a dose of hiccups to a chipmunk on helium. cheers.

We are stll trying to get cold chisel and Jet on board for our music but they won't return our calls.

[@anthonypoole6106]

Had the same rims and hub caps, dress rims on a HQ Ute I bulted back in the 80s

[@toddmccarter45]

I think the only whitewall options youre going to have in tires that big are to either get the stick on plastic things, or paint your own white on the tires with either paint or plastidip

I wanted to buy a Hq-hz ,but here in NZ they are to expensive so I brought a ‘88 Chevy Caprice instead .Looks like a wb but left hook and factory 305 v8

[@baileymackrillkemp3405]

You should’ve put a Buick v6 neoprene rear main, just gotta make them a little bit smaller and just shave it off on the bench grinder, for future notice you can use them in Holden 6s 308, 304, 253 ect

[@grantmurray7]

More brilliant content and chemistry between you two bloody legends. Woody your voiceovers sometimes have too much intonation bro. I want to hear your normal voice! Hope you don't think this is negative. Just trying to give helpful feedback because I'm sure you read these comments. Top work as always. You are getting so good at this. Deserve more followers.

[@whatpassword1]

I swear that Woody did the questions on Mike Nolan's Long Weekend...

[@shortredman1]

Looking good fellas, cant wait for the fire up :)

Keep up the good work boys.

Who did the loom for the elite 950? I'm doing a similar ego conversion on my HJ with a Holley 4 barrel throttle body

[@stephenbrown571]

Looks like this is going. To be a nice sleeper.

[@riz3nfpv306]

Question for Al: Is it possible to run a turbo off the back of an AC compressor?

[@darrenv7929]

Woody. Have a look on eBay.. mate got a new set of 15’s of there cheap delivered. I’m a ford man but am lovin the build 👍🏻👍🏻

Got the alert and here I am, SHOW ME THE VIDEO!

[@Outlawed_TV]

Loved watching this iron lion build. Im currently doing a 304 VT my self and wanted to know with the haltec 950 did you use a basic kit or the platinum? Just trying to figure out what way to go.

[@theskidfactory]

I just wired the ecu directly to the engine, it's pretty basic with only one coil. The loom has a fuse box.

[@TimsAFK]

My old man still has a set of those hubcaps on his box trailer

[@loudgsr]

Whats the go ditching the Milwaukee gear for Toolpro?

[@fullnoyz]

Vk must be turbo? It has the exhaust holes in the front guard

[@frontball2754]

Ever going to do something with a Toyota 7m?

[@lavitabella9069]

What booster/master was use!?..

[@jacksonpotter7462]

What rust converter do you use guys? Love the show btw!

[@wojtekzieba]

What kind of crimpers are those? That used to make the pins for the Deutsch connectors

[@alanbutler2579]

They are specifically for barrel type Deutsch pins. around $50AUD retail and in 3 sizes for 12, 16 and 20 gauge.

[@89_triumph]

Can u do a quick tech on battery, alternator, and starter wiring? Cheers

[@alanbutler2579]

Yep good idea.

[@fambuild]

Good stuff!

I own a Hq wagon that was a one owner car it was never driven in the rain or never parked outside at night the body shell is like brand new it's being built into a show car.

[@heatonhigh]

awesome video.. Thankyou :)

[@utesmate]

Hey guys, with the wiring, is the car positive grounded? I'm wondering how that works? As the Kingswood would be negative grounded.

[@alanbutler2579]

No it is negative ground as per usual.

[@lockstockmonkey]

Budget Thor - man I laughed my ass off, so good.

[@bluebludded]

Having a sicky today nice to have a new episode to watch🤙what brand of electrical tap where you using looked to be cloth type ???
