We Destroyed a Corvette!!! Or Did We???

[@rayrussell6064]

Wouldn't everybody have fun cutting up a corvette that you don't own but have permission to do just that lol I was laughing while he was a cutting. Kevin your channel is one of the few I so enjoy for all the knowledge that you have and entertaining. God bless you guys and as always be safe 👍

Drew atanding there with the sawzall on the intro was great!!! And the he statyed tappin the trigger! Rofl!

That's what I call confidence, confidence that comes from experience. This should be fun to watch.

[@opossom1968]

Hey KSR after getting a molar pulled this AM it sure is relaxing listening to the music and watching at time laps of Drew cutting up a Corvette. Thank you. Love the content.

[@burningbridges9127]

Kevin dude we want to go along with every inch of this build man. Some of us have never done anything like this and it is way interesting! Thank you brother.

[@peterjdo]

The look on Drews face with the saw in hand 😎🍻

[@rickygraham3330]

Congratulations Kevin on Mullet making a 6 sec Rip.

[@Themakersworkbench]

I literally just watched Taylor Ray's video on why he ditched the blue corvette chassis because of the way the cage had to mount to the aluminum with a piece of angle. This video illustrates what Taylor was talking about perfectly. The Flordia Car KZbinr community has been killing it with content lately! I'm so happy to see all of you grow into the creators you have become! Keep up the good work Kevin!

[@Z-Ack]

This is a steel frame chassis tho.. i was thinking that old build taylor ditched would have been perfect for a ksr rehab and build.. for this particular persons needs..

[@VADER_225]

Wow that seems like an immense project.Looking forward to seeing it take shape.

[@tbonedude1]

Kevin and crew is proof you can have fun while working. Fantastic job lads!

[@hommie789]

This is going to be one hell of a build series, please keep us in the loop, I am not a 'vette fan but seeing one all cut up makes me smile.

[@allenintexas]

OMG!!! 🥲3 corvettes in this family. Have faith! have faith! it will be alright. Gotta see this finished for sure.

[@TheBreadlord]

I swear, Kevin. You are the Bob Ross of hot-rodding. An island of calm in an ocean of spanner throwers.

[@redneck_ridge_reptiles]

There just put some happy little vettes in the corner and add justa beautiful dually on the lift , there that's lovely, now just add some happy little roll up doors ..... if Bob Ross was a car guy lol

[@NovaRedHead]

Kevin: "I'm just gonna put a happy little dzus fastener right here"

[@mattmanyam]

Should wear a bob Ross wig in the next video.

[@THEVROD64]

Fiberglass and shorts.....Itching watching this .

[@buzzsaw5475]

A little word of advice from someone who found out the hard way my young friend... time flies, and now is the time to use breathing protection when your cutting up fiberglass , carbon fiber or any other dust creating materials...that shit gets stuck in your lungs, and doesent come out..I wish I would have listened to the old guys way back then.please do yourself a favor. dont want to be a kill joy, but you have no Idea how much it will effect you later in life..love the channel. keep up the great work

[@alexpocs8649]

Another great build starting at KSR. Thanks for the new music also.

[@ae86rally]

Drew looks like a kid in a candy store. his smile and enthusiasm seems to get bigger with each video.

[@claycarpenter7238]

Drew is going to need a bath in acetone after cutting up that Vette with shorts on. Holy fiberglass dust Batman!

[@DrewJackson73]

Three cold showers….

[@Matty.Hill_87]

Made me feel itchy just watching

[@notold37]

Thanks Drew for making me feel OLD, well I am old (1970), nice cutting up the car but keeping your birthday date intact, love watching these build videos, great video Kevin and Drew 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘

[@stevenk805]

Kevin, congrats on MULLET getting a 6! You built an awesome car and should be proud. What an accomplishment by all you guys

[@markguerin701]

Your work is top shelf Kevin

[@richardwillcoxson6177]

Had to laugh at Drew chopping up the Corvette. I was thinking Kevin you better stop him, ,he’s having way too much fun 😂

[@archstanton9206]

Outstanding work guys. Kevin I 100% agree with your "philosophy" on cages. I am 6'4 and tall torso, and it was such a bone of contention building off road race vehicles and a handful of race cars back when with cage builders wanting to go for the style over function look. When the function is keeping my noggin free of being whacked by metal, I want the function first. Judging by some of the cages I see on SXS these days I don't think people are paying enough attention to the purpose of the cage but want the "cool look", of the chopped top. I think they are nuts.

[@mightymikethebear]

I enjoyed watching the guy cut large pieces from the Corvette. I would not have worn shorts but I would have worn a good dust mask.

[@danmyers9372]

Congrats on Mullet running a 6!!!

[@Kindaquick1]

Wow. That's a big project. Looking forward to following along.

[@waynep343]

Since you cut out much of the A pillar. Are you going to add some curved hoops from the forward cage bar to the kick out of the frame rail behind the front tires to give some protection for the drivers left leg

[@jayh4185]

That's goin be a nice build. Can't wait to see it completed.

[@I-apologize-in-advance]

Just WOW!! Amazing skill sets y'all have. Thanks for taking us along on these builds.

[@patrickfracisco8120]

When this C5 is all caged up before the body goes back together it'll be looking like Leroy's cousin Jethro...LoL

[@pearlbluesoul]

All right, I’m gonna be that guy for a minute… Please cut fiberglass with a mask on. Please? Fun to watch, certainly gives me a new respect for how to build one of these… This is where all the money goes lol …And what are the odds about the build date?? That’s nice!

[@skami1284]

Lovin KSR in the afternoon!

[@Clownskull]

You need a reciprocating Saw mullet leatherface T-shirt print. The iconic one where leatherface holds the chainsaw above his head, but just with Drew, his saw and the text "We make racecar fast!"

[@brandongreene3213]

Drew with the sawzall is friggin hilarious... I laughed harder than I should have.

[@cotton-Dave]

Fascinating just doesn't quite cover this somehow. Fantastic, though, does. Looking forward to this one, Kevin!

[@mad1s]

Drew really enjoyed cutting that up...lol Oh and he has the same b-day as my son...year and day

[@thewhitechocolate8282]

That's pretty cool that the build date is his birthday! Next C5 I own I'd love to have it where it was built on my birthday! Maybe I'll keep one if this was the case lol

Hey Kevin just to say loving the new music used for the time lapse, was thinking how good these vids are considering your still fairly new to the editing lark and damn busy with the important work!

Very impressive watching Drew, just cutting that are out knowing you've got a great plan to turn it into a true race car, is to me it's all " wouldn't have a clue" very envious of the knowledge.. love the work.

I don't think I'd want a fiberglass firewall in a car the level you are building. So you are not alone Kevin. :)

When it was stripped it reminded me of the Mach 5. That would be a good name for it.

Cheers Champ, as others have said, Drew should be wearing a respirator and better eye protection. A mullet will only get you so far. ✌🇦🇺

Kevin you need to invest in some protection suits for handling fiberglass. Helps keep the crew happy.

Kevin if you don't cut em how can you fix em. Drew is having a ball cutting it up. You know how the car game is do as much as possible and move on. Always awesome content 👍😊 Aussie Fan 💯🇦🇺🤣

[@socalcasedog]

I've always liked the idea of destroking larger displacement engines for road racing. Take a bit of torque off the bottom end but get some nice rpm range. They sound pretty nice as well...reminds me of Lou Giglioti's corvettes he ran with his nice long tube headers

[@94XJ]

After the mention of power/weight performance balancing I started thinking "what if they strictly went by horsepower and completely disregarded torque?" That then made me think of taking a 427 aluminum block LS with LM7 heads and cam just to see. It'd be a bit like an old nailhead or something...but modern...maybe. It's not a combo that makes any sense but I want to see it.

[@joecameron3406]

I will enjoy learning more watching this build. I'm going to make a possible comparison. Road racing car extremely expensive and beyond max effort definitely takes quite a few people. Drag week car expensive but within range of how fast you want to go. The car has to endure quite a bit but also has to be quickly repairable. Almost hand in hand between the 2 .

[@bigbaz1159]

Do they have to run a stock type transaxle as a lot of the Drag race and Drift guys plus I have seen some of the GT road race Vett's running conventional Trans with the early Diff or as the Cars that are being built now have quick change Diff Gears "See Taylor Ray's or Collete Davis's new Vett Drift Builds" Garret is also changing Leroy to conventional Trans layout with the IRS setup staying, I would personally ditch the IRS and go 9" and 4 bar layout but that's just how I would go if it was my setup or how I would of advised a customer to get the best results.
