I love how when Al speaks he instantly answers for the battles for any future keyboard warriors in the comment section 🤣🤣 tops mate 👌

[@PiazzaWoodWorks]

This channel is the best car building channel on here, no bullshit, just straight To the point getting it done! Love your work don’t change a thing

[@stevenhall1004]

From the Simpson's to Ferris Bueller, Al has all the quotes

[@deafcommplays7676]

The man knows no bounds

[@MattExzy]

There is many an onion on Al's belt.

[@dannyhicking]

"we're gonna take the engine back out, put the engine back in again, take the engine back out again and maybe a couple more times after that, then we might get to put some shiny shit on it" lol, nice run down ;-)

[@mindfullchaos]

What else do you need? Love Skid Factory!!

[@JesusisJesus]

This is EVERY engine swap.

[@ianmansfield8885]

so technic..Al

"Generally the smaller models have smaller racks" - Alan, everybody.

[@original_jake5418]

probably of the best "tongue in cheek" jokes ever made

[@Vgk36]

Haaaa

[@idriwzrd]

And the smaller models with bigger racks are only found on reddit, anyway.

[@timsorensen2085]

Love a good rack

[@clintebbesen120]

Unless they have aftermarket racks.

[@jezzarin]

I am from Vic and I just wanted to say thanks Al & Woody! We are 2 weeks into our Stage 4 lockdown after putting up with a long stage 3 lockdown and your weekly videos really are a saviour in these trying times. I have bought merch from your store before and to ensure you keep the content flowing I will buy more, cause I see it as a small price to pay for a weekly sanity break and escapism you two provide!

[@adamloader9534]

Good to showcase why project cars sometimes remain in the project stage, sometimes for years. I love how Al doesn't sugar coat it. Persistence and experience will see you guys through. I'm excited and following this build 👍👍

[@CrusinVK]

Allan: * puts analogue spirit level on top of block * BOM: "Make The Noise..." Me: * listens disappointingly *

[@888johnmac]

lol , i'm wearing my make the noise T shirt while watching this

[@watsisbuttndo829]

"They all handled like shit" ... As the owner of a 65 pontiac and a HQ holden i sadly have to agree. GM steering engineers of that era really phoned it in.

[@ibast1]

Story goes that getting the last ball into the steering box was hard, so to keep up with production the girls on the line would leave out the the last one on the odd box.

[@davidgray5583]

Still killing it with the music Woody !

[@phillipward937]

We like both kinds of music, Country and Western, Yeah Buddy!

[@mikescorral2998]

36:36 the music to my ears is Al's witticisms. Like at 7:35 ".....they basically handle like a bag of shit anyway..." Brilliant!

[@colinmartin2970]

Al :Slaps level on engine cover... Binky: Makes the noiiiiiiise ... 😂😘

[@Michael-sz4he]

The appearance of the 8ball never fails to amuse me 😂

[@colta51]

Glad to see this just popped up after trying to put up with mcms last clip of dribble...

[@steveking6506]

Its giving me the shits more and more recently.. Skid factory, nugget garage and Benny's custom works are so much better to watch.

[@Rtechmobile]

I don't mind the boys but they honestly shove the fake turbo shit . Personally I wouldn't support or advertise that shite in the slightest.

[@Rattus-Norvegicus]

2 words: free content... So quit your bitchin.

[@sirjolly81]

MCM have some cool cars but the banter and script is rinse and repeat over and over again. Both are quite annoying now days. Just my opinion.

[@clubsport9334]

Yep was dawg shite.

[@andrewfriesen7077]

Its not necessarily size of the rack, but often times the placement on the smaller models that is key. They just proved that. A small rack in just the right space.

[@bend1483]

Agreed.

[@flyino]

Big racks are great but I can definitely appreciate a nice small rack.

[@markm0000]

flyino Really any size rack will do the job.

[@andrewfriesen7077]

You have to consider the frame the rack is on a well. But all racks have a place in my heart.

[@dennisbailey4296]

It's great to see you experience some of the trials of trying to make an engine swap Fit when everything just seems to be in the way. And you two have got a lot of experience fighting to make it fit and work properly. And it's great to hear and see the amount of work that goes into these engine swaps. Just remember This Is Fun. All the best from Canada

[@microbuilder]

3:07 You need a digital one, so you can say 'make the noise...' as we all eagerly wait to hear said noise... lol

[@kieronjames3279]

Travelled Australia for a year, left Australia due to visa coming to an end, came back to Wales and found you guys and became the highlight of my KZbin life and wanting to visit Oz again. "Generally the smaller models have smaller racks" Allan 2020

[@rorylangford5137]

Pulls out Turbo 1J... In jumps Turbo Yoda. Love the fact the you guys show all the drama and challenges involved in swaps like these rather than just a time lapse and the finished Picture. Keep up the great work.

[@joshuaafek3267]

Out takes at the end are the best, keep'em coming.

[@tgetkrunk]

How can you not love these guys!

[@K4rt80y]

Al and Woody make a montage! Every Skid Factory needs a montage! Even Rocky had a montage!

[@ibast1]

Imagine that pool ball clacking from side to side every time you went round a corner. It'd drive you nuts.

[@bruceclarke6368]

I've heard stories about nuts and bolts hanging inside door pillars on string, in police car orders.

[@KacerRex]

Sounds pretty baller to me.

[@derekhansen6652]

Back in the 70s guys at the factory were drinking beers at work, I've heard of beer cans being found in voids in the body..

[@mikescorral2998]

In the 60's a friends dad was a service manager at a dealer in New York. The UAW Union was in turmoil for whatever reason. A new car was brought back for foul smell. They wound up removing the dashboard to find it, deep as possible was a rotting half of a sandwich, tuna i think he said.

[@TC-yx2ss]

Bloke I worked with way back bought his HQ with a factory installed rattle in the drivers door .It was a VB can.

[@tgetkrunk]

Al’s my spirit animal 🐗

[@Tilpants]

So much banter! I love it, got a good chuckle out of the mig arc right at the end too! Wicked ep guys, good to see all the thinking, looking and measuring that goes on.

[@bobbyrogers2283]

You need to make a tee shirt with Al holding his finger in a circle of approval. Let me know when you do because I want one . Because he is truly the Charlie Daniels of a torque wrench .. mad skills he has

[@nelsoncornelius5479]

The flight of the conchords sing along at the end... classic!!

[@dubCanuck1]

I could watch a full-feature video of you two chirping each other. Awesome-sauce!

[@scareyaf]

That 8 ball is a bloody menace

[@karlmonig5809]

13:31 Speaking from experience I was just thinking "gee, don't do that with your bare fingers, you might catch some metal swarfs..." and he goes "Ouch" XD

[@nathanoppermann8896]

Nice, I love the look Alan gives when woody asked what you doing now lol the eyes 👀 say it all every time.

[@benrobinson6345]

i have faith in ur sheet metal work skillz

[@AndyQuinton]

I love that Alan's laid-back demeanor creates sound issues for Woody.

[@Dannyvirk]

Basically it's a massive hybrid........I felt so happy to hear this.

[@rickerd83]

Just for authenticity, I watch all Skid Factory videos upside down for the full Aussie experience.

[@dundee1000]

+ 1 on the Bucket Hats... Woodrigos....

[@64nine]

respect to thought as part of the process..

[@donfrady9465]

Best description for handling ever lol

[@krispykruzer]

8:00 - love the honesty there mate!

[@6900mx]

Thats better alan - now its a lot more interesting - at least to me - watching how you make things fit is amazing

[@nzpork1]

I like the episodes where Al has to work hard and gets a bit wound up. Woody is a still a pot full of toss 😂

[@themajesticmanic]

"well, generally the smaller models have smaller racks..." lolz!

[@Biggspeed]

“Freestyle motocross or Dad bod, your choice”. Alan (Turbo Yoda) 2020

[@zmonchamp]

Black hoodies are the best hoodies!

[@merlz89]

Lost when Al said it handles like a bag a shit anyway. Was thinking the same thing in my head hahahaha. Another great video lads.

[@Brettj77]

Love the flat brim hat remark, it's so true, goes great with fox and unit apparel

[@grecoconduris6716]

At 3:09 in my head "Make the noise"

[@Valtra103]

Lofi lemon squash music to relax and pull engine to.

[@Lee0076]

3:09 "Make the noise...."

[@seanwarren9307]

They need to upgrade their level

[@glynprice3815]

Again not just me

[@tim0e]

Excellent, I'm working on a 1JZ in a Daihatsu Feroza atm. Already mounted, running (like a pig on factory ecu) and mod plated, just a few things left to do like after market ecu, loom and dyno. Might just sit back for a while and wait till this build passes where I'm at and learn from their mistakes. Keep up the good work guys.

[@joldback]

Whenever I see the spirit level , I waiting to hear someone say " make the noise "LOL

[@joealex65]

Al went from "use ya brain" to "keep cutting shit until it fits" 😂

[@KC-ok5qg]

Full-size truck + flat brim = Bro-dozer

[@matthewbakker8113]

Thanks for addressing steering geometry, or lack there of and possible effects of random changes. Note: you want the steering links parallel, and same length the control arms, or at least the closest one... Cheers from the opinion you did not ask for!

[@charlesspadowski5846]

Love your show boys and I have never heard a bad tune on any of your shows ever. Keep doing what you do its always awesome.

[@joorsh]

Loving the outtakes.

[@petersauer94]

How good has this channel become, love The Skid Factory.

[@Jim_M_75]

Was sure you were going to "get the funk out" at the start when Al what kind of music. Nowt wrong with a small, pert rack either Woody :p

[@matthewpotter2951]

You need a fill short and long sleeve mechanics shirt, would make all mechanics day, also a calendar, for next to your toolboxes

[@TheRealMrCods]

"We're not sheet metal fabricators" Keeps cutting sheet metal out

[@dubCanuck1]

Will it fit? If we keep cutting it will. Love that line.

[@matthewnarine]

Lemon squash need to be a sponsor asap

[@Justintpoulos]

You crease that brim Woody! You crease it!

[@BrussKnackles]

LoFi chill beats to engine swap to

[@VS666]

to engine swap / cut firewalls to

[@MyCaptainPugwash]

Put your engine in, put your engine out, put your engine in and shake it all about.

[@chriss3594]

Got my hoodie today fellas here in Ontario Canada

[@armandoboensel593]

Love love 💘 the out takes at the end!

[@victormendoza871]

OHHHHH HES THE TURBO YODAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

[@timhowell6064]

My favorite is when they argue about who's gonna hock the social media/ marketing/ merch and how.

[@kenoath6846]

All for our amusement and sick cars I appreciate it legends 😉👍🏻🇦🇺

[@terrencegillard8156]

Steering shafts vs dump pipe hmmmm it’s hard to see but I think that’ll be the next challenge.

[@JainZar1]

Who needs steering, when going to the drags? Just put in the damn dump pipe.

[@spencerhansen2100]

Best page on youtube fellas, keep it up

[@shoominati23]

You know the Mustang II rack that all the hotrodders use might be a good candidate for that

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

So many references in this ep. I think it's the first Ferris Bueller one I've heard though. Well played Al.

[@aSinisterKiid]

YEahhhhhhhh i live in new Jersey. Good to hear you had a good time at Atco during drag week.

[@bvward]

What exit are you? ;)

[@aSinisterKiid]

@@bvward Exit 5. if you're talking about the turnpike

[@bvward]

@@aSinisterKiid Got it... I'm so close to the now-closed Englishtown strip :(

[@fambuild]

Good stuff!

[@yu_rich]

Вы реальные мастера своего дела!

[@StreetDreamzTT]

Man I love the raw footage at the end of these vids 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks for another quality episode guys 😎👍🏼

[@GUE5TPA55]

I'm only hear for the funky chill beats

[@lastcenturyclassics]

Us little Torana owners can get the motor in and out another way, by tilting body off the 'K' frame, and then wheel the Motor/Transmission out on 'K' Frame.

[@theviking5667]

Give Dave som love❤️😎

[@aaronfahey1998]

I find a well sprung comfortable seat improves the handling keep up the good work AL and Woody

[@erikh7903]

Love when Al does a rundown on about anything to do with cars. Woody is ok I guess. :)

[@jonsey3108]

You can check for level by zeroing the gauge and rotating the level by 180 degrees about its vertical axis. If it reads 0.00 both ways the surface you zeroed it from is Level, if not its out of level by half of the reading displayed

[@fendel_]

The process is amazing to follow and the knowledge and testing to see how it can be done is great. It's also great seeing some work on an Australian Ascona variant ;)

[@ldw100]

I want a skid factory bucket hat!

[@BLM11014]

Nice to see Woodie finally found a hat fits perfectly to the shape of his head. :)

[@DMSparky]

Just ordered merch from you guys. First time ever buying merch from anyone. I hope to learn to speak Australian since right now I’m stuck speaking Canadian all the time.....

[@fula28]

Keeping it real boys, the actual motor install process is allways a head scratcher. Loving the content just now. Bang tidy 👌

[@steveking6506]

The montage thing was Team America... "even rocky had a montage"!!

[@deankdx]

thought it was project Binky, get the funk out

[@keeneydj]

Ass-pen when Stan is training for the k13. Season 6 ep 2

[@parkeslife4323]

Same same

[@thisguy1890]

Always fade out in a montage

[@brownsworthy7323]

"All we need is a montage!"

[@robfox5562]

Like Christmas when these vids drop 😃👍🏻

[@TeamGambleBMX]

Best thing on the internet. Bar none. 👍

[@andylee2174]

Half of the video I was waiting to funk break out and Al just go full Nik Blackhurst on that firewall!
