Mullet El Camino Build Episode 11!! Final Assembly Begins....Plus Mirrored Turbos!!??!!

Kevin was so proud of his dad joke. I totally understand it's a racecar not a SEMA car.

[@haimmynz1903]

I was thinking the same. I love a good dad joke and Kevin was over the moon with that one. Racecars can look pretty but first and foremost, go fast and be easy to fix

Putting a clock in a time lapse is so professional. It turns a regular time lapse into a professional time lapse, or prolapse for short.

The whole time you're talking about doing mirrored turbos I thought how silly it would be to spend that time, but I was excited for the look. Then I see the mirrors, had a hearty chuckle and called you a dick. Excellent humor, Kevin!

[@NefariousStrudel]

The mirrors on the turbos is the best troll I've ever seen! That was incredible.

[@Engineering_Improvisation]

I'm sure you know ... bump steer means the control arm and tie rod are traveling in different arcs. What you need is the inner tie rod pivot to be in-plane with the control arm pivots, when the wheels are straight, and the control arm and tie rod need to be parallel. Create a parallelogram rather than a trapezoid. 🤘
