[@ehlani6677]

Man one of the best builds in a while, i love bbodys

[@edwardzamorski3711]

Another awesome build like fat stack Caprice love big cars. To bad I wasn't rich and could throw 40k of parts in a car. Pat really builds sweet engines.

[@kipc8734]

Absolutely love this build! Can't mash the thumbs up enough! I have a 96 Impala SS that could use the same treatment. She's been awesome, but ready for a serious upgrade. Thanks for choosing the Caprice for this build.

[@JaMarvelousjmar]

I want that Caprice so bad. This is a dream car in my book. Keep up the good work guys. Much love

[@CRAZY_VIDS07]

How many pens do I have to stick in my pocket to work there 😅😅😅

[@sharp-1000]

I have worked as a line mechanic for more years than I would like to admit and I never put anything other than a piece of paper in my shirt pocket because it ends up causing me problems

[@Adam-nv9zo]

All of them.

[@473sgpm2]

I have a 85’ sport coupe caprice classic with a 6.0/4l80 out of a 01’ Silverado HD. I can’t wait till she’s ready to hit the streets

[@malcolmboldon]

One day I’ll have money and a friend or even better friends to build old cars

[@mrplogan59]

Still wanting on the blessing of parts from you guys

[@ChicagoMoBN13KinG]

Like Mike ..

[@Moto_Channel]

wheels are awesome

[@greddmyles3677]

You could've gotten a G Force cross member would've bolted right on and you could've ran the 3" exhaust

[@moose1992caprice]

That fuel pressure regulator should be after the fuel rails, not before.

[@nycewittit]

@powernation 2 are the tubular control arms specifically for the 93 Caprice or a different B body? Couldnt find them on PST's website. Diggin this build BTW!

[@KevinRoadrageGarage]

I need the part #'s for the brake hoses and steering box. Couldn't understand what he said about the steering box

[@bbodyswap]

When are more videos coming for the caprice?

[@mr806nwamarillotx5]

What motor can you replace for Northstar?

[@HandMadeWrath]

I wonder how long this took in real time.

[@MerlinOpeth]

Wasn't there a Ford Capri too?

[@cliffwright9842]

Hey guys, that steering box is 3 turns lock to lock or 1 1/2, the way it was described I'm not sure what you meant! Thanks.... I realize this is a older recording.

[@OriginalMomo]

It’s 1.5 turns from center to lock in either direction, or 3 full turns from full left lock, to full right lock.

[@michaelleblanc6830]

All I know is y'all can do my charger R/T anytime. Y'all good

[@idontlikecops1]

Shut up

[@bobhilly546312156332]

An atm battery is absolutely over kill for that thing

[@stacieelizabeth6203]

Engine nerds...

[@etrinidad73]

they sell better tie rod sleeves for better adjustment

[@josephracicot4443]

That little gas tank is not going to be big enough 😂

[@josephracicot4443]

Someone is going to have fun at the drive-in with this one ...indeed. Just make sure she brings extra gas money and leave the pocket protector at home.

[@UBeesh10]

When are we going to finish this car?!?!?! Yall got started then just stopped

[@vanchestor3784]

Man put some 4s or the og wheels on 😡

[@darrelsmith4549]

Vht paint sux an is way too expensive, scratches very easily 😢😢😢

[@dalazdayz]

Tiny wheels

[@williamhudson1751]

Can u do my car 😢I Ben working on my car 4 years I need help I lost my house and my wife cat can u help me and wife form Tyler Texas

[@darrenporsch]

You guys need to stop spewing marketing information from your sponsors and tell the truth Cross drilled rotors don't run any cooler there's less mass there as a heat sink They really don't do anything anymore except for looks cuz they were originally designed to stop out gasing of the pads The pad technology has improved so much that's not a problem anymore

[@nissanbrown6144]

Shut up

[@MulattoGunner]

They literally do, drilled and slotted rotors let more air come in contact with the pad while braking. I work at a circuit track it’s not just for show we see a good difference of brake temps especially on cars with brake ducts. You know nothing of what you’re attempting to speak on.

[@darrenporsch]

@@MulattoGunner Yeah of course you see lower temperatures on cars with brake ducts The ducks bring cool air from the outside to the brakes has nothing to do with cross drilled or slotting

[@darrenporsch]

@@MulattoGunner From Motortrend Cross-Drilled Disc Brake Rotors: Do They Really Work? Marlan DavisAuthor Apr 25, 2018 Cross-drilling brake rotors supposedly helps vent gases created when the resin bonding agents within the brake-pad material begin to break down at extreme temperatures. When this happens, the pedal still remains firm while the friction coefficient decreases, causing a loss of brake effectiveness. Racers often refer to this condition as "green pad fade" or "outgassing." With new-tech, preburnished carbon fiber or ceramic racing brake pads, this gas buildup is no longer a major concern. Less exotic street-pad components are still subject to outgassing, but only when used on a racetrack at extreme temperatures rarely, if ever, seen on the street. Another theory was that drilling multiple small holes in the rotor surface increased the coefficient of friction between the pads and the rotor because all the additional small edges let the pads bite more effectively. But today's modern carbon-fiber pads are designed to operate at higher heat levels where the friction coefficient is inherently higher, so any additional hard-edge bite is superfluous. And all those added small edges eat into the pad material, shortening its life. That leaves only potential weight savings and (if you are into profilin') visual enhancement as the primary reasons why anyone would drill rotors today. Nevertheless, there's a big potential downside to drilled rotors: micro-cracks that propagate out from the holes. This can be a particular problem for street-driven cars. We'll get into more details on this problem next time.

[@Wangan280z]

I think he means two identical cars, one with drilled rotors, one with solid rotors, both with brake ducts, the drilled rotors will run cooler, i have seen this real world with datsun Z’s

[@bryans7469]

12:27 - You're soldering wrong :)

[@idontlikecops1]

Hideous wheels
