What's REALLY Going on Behind the Scenes at the Shop

[@chuckfrank4586]

It’s refreshing to see I’m not the only one who realizes every project/task needs more time than there are waking hours.

[@americannostalgiagarage]

Chuck that’s the understatement of the year. You’re 1000% right. Arnold swarzenegger once said “sleep faster” which I’ve come to learn is the only way to get a project done. Best bet is to chip away at it consistently. Thanks for watching.

I think giving people a better idea of what it takes to do projects like these is super good of you. It does them a service to know that the shit isn’t easy, and it’s definitely not quick. I’ve always said that the sliding scale of time on a project is inversely proportional to the finished quality of whatever you did. The more time you spend on it, the better the finished product you’ll have. The faster you get something done the more you have to cut corners. It’s a delicate balance since time IS money, and we all want more of both.

[@americannostalgiagarage]

@@azjohn520 hey buddy, hope all is well. You’re 100% correct. It becomes a choice, how much time are you willing to spend on each given task versus how you want the end product to come out. Somewhere in the middle is where I’d say we end up most times around here just because I try and float the balance of getting things done and not having a complete mess on my hands but hey. I’m doing the best I can. Thanks for checking in John, happy thanksgiving.

I love that 72 nova “hitman”. And the k5 blazer is awesome too. Great video.

[@americannostalgiagarage]

Yeah that car has been with me forever. It’s like a child to me. Thanks for watching.

[@Chunky1-ue3ge]

Actually I’ve been wondering this. It’s nice to see you finish up the little projects. Keep it up.

[@americannostalgiagarage]

Yeah there’s a lot of stuff you just need to bang out because it’s not great for a regular video and it may take a long time. Thanks for watching

[@automotivechaos]

I was hoping this video was going to be you working on my car.

[@americannostalgiagarage]

That can be arranged, no guarantee that it’s something you would like though.

[@automotivechaos]

@ I forgot I owned it until I saw this video so do your worst.

[@azjohn520]

When you have a lift you try not to use it 😂😂😂

[@americannostalgiagarage]

@@azjohn520 story of my life on this one. Two lifts at the garage and get in rolling around in the gravel on my knees.

[@barryhebert5839]

Most muffler shops will refuse to run straight pipes out the back of an suv or hatch back because it is a safety hazard if you have dry rotted seals it can suck fumes into the cab this is why almost every suv u see has pipes dumped out the side or the two back corners at an angle

[@americannostalgiagarage]

Those muffler shops are onto something lol. They’re definitely right. I’m glad I finally put the turn downs on. Once I get the computer back from Holley I’ll take it for a ride and confirm it doesn’t still fill with fumes. Thanks for watching.

[@barryhebert5839]

@ I’d definitely eventually run it out the side either in front or rear of the tire I’m sure there are holes in the floor for fumes to leak through

[@americannostalgiagarage]

@ yeah I think I’m going to add to the turn downs and have it all the way out the side eventually.

[@stevemowbray4660]

Good job Steve

[@americannostalgiagarage]

Thanks Steve. Gotta get all the little nagging things done. Thanks for watching.

[@barryhebert5839]

U need a better fuel filter lol

[@americannostalgiagarage]

You ain’t kidding. I’m wondering if It was some rubber debris from when some of the soft lines were cut. However I use the big shears to cut my hoses so it’s probably not that.
