Val's Camaro is on the Ground FOR GOOD!!!!

[@christopherbarrett8710]

Kevin, I've been watching you for years now, i think you are one of the most underated car/chasis builers out there, that car is going to be absolutely killer!

[@MikeY77z28]

The chemistry between you guys and the great work you guys do.Such a pleasure watching this channel.

[@kentmackey2717]

That is a sick Camaro! This situation seemed to work out for the best for everyone. A project well on its way needed a boost and some updates to get it over the finish line. Can't wait to see this thing rip!

[@saddletramp6529]

You guys are killin' it on Val's Camaro!! Looks killer!! Fire it up!!!

[@dalehannon4922]

Congrats to Lee on the Trans Am win!! Yea Viper!!

[@j.sarnak1391]

Kevin, seems like you have many things going that is always good for a shop!! Keep it up

[@ec8423]

Cant wait till that camaro is out of the shop its been there waayy too long but it is looking really good so great job Kevin and everyone else who has had a hand in it

[@kerzwhile]

Love how you narrate over the footage towards the end to kinda keep the chronological order of the footage and just make the vids cohesive! 😊

[@Gnif57]

Thanks for Sharing 👍👍✌Bring on the Valmero

I found that beer case cardboard makes for some real good template material and it just happens to be plentiful.😁🍻

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Lol

[@royjohnson7760]

Beer/soda box cardboard also works pretty good as thermostat housing and carburetor gaskets in a pinch

[@deegan727]

@@royjohnson7760 👍 I have done similar, even learned that back when I was a kid rebuilding Briggs & Stratton engines keeping our junk go karts and mini bikes running. Then it was cereal boxes not beer,but close enough.😂

[@danieledwards1081]

​@@deegan727 those old cereal box gaskets are a boy's rite of passage into adulthood 👌

[@fisshuman]

I can relate to that. Most of people use cardboard from parts packaging that we buy. But I'm one of those "make my own parts to make it cheap" so I rarely have that parts packaging. I do drank a lot of beers😂

[@ianf2985]

Keep up the great work! We all know how busy you are in real life and sharing the shop progress is great to see.

[@ZiggyTheGr8]

Havent seen you do headers / cold side /hot side in a while. Cant wait to see how you wrap it around : )

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Great video Kevin, Val's car is looking AWESOME!

[@joeanderson444]

I've been lucky with the few rivets I drilled out in my 17 years total working at semi-trailer manufacturers. All of the rivets we used had a small dimple in the center of the head that is just big enough to keep a drill bit centered!

[@drjeep1971]

Thank you for the video. Hope you can keep Eddie around as he is a very good fabricator. Plus a very easy going a good human.

[@Sainted1973]

Good People and great work....Love what you have done for Val's Camaro Love Steve's video's and yours as well. So glad you are involved on this build I see an eventual 5.xx et in that car hell the wagon low 6's no reason Camaro can't do it same engine powered Baileys Camaro to a 5.XX take care god bless be safe. "SMASH THE LIKE GUYS" damn people.

[@RandDCustoms2]

Loving all of this KSR content! Inspiration for my projects.

[@ChasingPerfection]

Coming from the Collinson industry. Properly prepped, panel bonded sheetmetal will tear the metal before the panel bond fails. Only thing that will weaken panel bond is heat. Which is recommended to use, to remove a previously panel bonded panel. Properly prepped steel for pabel bond is coarse 36grit. Running the grinder at a slow speed to really leave a rough tooth.

[@usmclee65]

Thanks Kevin !

[@brandongreene3213]

CAD (cardboard aided design) sure has come a long way!

[@KenG....]

I'll call the TA finish another WIN FOR KSR!!!!

[@vehdynam]

Val's Camaro is looking real good. Nice to see the progression. Congrats to Lee and Eddy on their win. Thanks for the update.

[@CC-mb8fi]

Kevin Watch what tyre shake did to Clay Millicans top fuel dragster in qualifying.....burst the body open........good one to watch Storming down the track.....untill it wasnt.....real issue Steve n Vals Comaro is looking real good Thats one fine piece of work......

What a build, someday when they move on from that car it will be a great buy for someone what a chassis/car… Lots of thought/$$$$ going into that build!! KSR you guys kill it, good luck with your shop/equipment upgrades….

[@Halibrand]

Kevin please stop using the red border around the thumbnail of the videos, it lowers the possibility that people watches your videos as they see the red and it looks like they have already watched the video.

[@BradleyHockensmith]

I second this. I was like “wow I already watched this? I don’t remember anything from it”

[@jerryhatrick5860]

Same here..

[@erikversteeg8802]

Same

[@aaronholtgrewe1971]

That’s funny because I too was saying how did this new video come out but I’m seeing it as I already watched it. I was thinking that bc sometimes I fall asleep with KZbin on and it plays all my favorites. Good to know it’s a setting on the creator side so now I know to look out for it.

[@1TX0UTLAW]

I have the same problem

[@2ToneWalt]

That is one evil looking Camaro and has a mean stance too. 🤘👍

[@stevenraymer6682]

[@Wizards_Sleeve]

Most successful youtube channels have a second channel, and now you have yours Kevin.... KSR Arts & Crafts, obviously with Eddie as the presenter, I'm personally looking forward to the 'dried pasta jewellery' episode 😁😋

[@metalted6128]

Exactly!! Screw be a KZbinr!! Just get to building!!! Modern technology is slowing down society!!!

[@shotgun_chef3265]

If you were gonna use bonded carbon panels use something like 3M Structural Adhesive. That is stuff OEMs are using to build aluminum/composite structural components. They make a few different versions I think SA9820 is the one used for stuff that flexes which is prob the best we are talking about tire shake. Rivets would only make it stronger. I would consider it for the cutlass could have less hardware, easier fab since you only need the rivet holes for cleecos and seal up more of the vehicle.

[@georgem.6136]

So awesome with Radials on it!

Great content thanks for sharing

[@gizmofish57]

So, internal body parts affixed with bolts with washers and nuts as opposed to pop rivets. There has to be a significant weight disparity twixt the two.

[@CoolRacingParts]

Things are looking good

[@pawpawsgarage4641]

On my old comp elim car (weight to CID) used rivets, and always drove the stem out, then drilling out no problem

[@marynunn1708]

Valaro ROCKS!

Kinda sad this is getting the SMX. Since there aren’t many SMLs doing much out there I feel like Steve showcasing the ability of the SML would have been a better business decision.

[@boredom.victim]

like Steve isn't gonna give his wife the best! 😂

[@xactedsyence]

Needs either SMX-V or VMX on the valve covers. Just because it's not "Steve's car"

Hey Kevin! Do you guys mount the carbon fiber panels for the electronics solid with screws or do you try to vibration mount them using rubber isolation feet?

[@randywl8925]

How does the dry lube affect torquing the lug nuts? I think with anti seize you'd over torque the lug nuts by something like 45 to 65% Vals car is lookin' beautiful 👍👍👍

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

I don’t think it changes anything. We have done it for a decade on the Viper and never broken or seized a lug nut.

[@randywl8925]

@@KSRPerformanceFabrication The two lubes will definately behave differently and the never seize is probably slipperier. Just wanted to toss that in.

Hi guys, I was under the impression this was getting a SML. Why the change to SMX does anyone know? Any idea on what type of hp this chassis will put down on a no prep or a prep track? Awesome work KSR team!

[@MrMaxEffort]

Probably because they don't need to have double sets of spare parts for 2 different engines, now they will only have stuff for the SMX.
