THAT IS AVAILABLE TO ANYONE ON LINE. I USED TO GET PAID TO FIND PEOPLE BEFORE THE INTERNET, IT IS SO MUCH EASIER NOW. BEST THING TO DO IF YOU DON'T WANT STRANGERS COMING OVER FOR A BEER, OR WHO KNOWS WHAT, IS TO NEVER REVEAL ANYTHING LOCATION WISE, REGO PLATES ARE SOMEWHAT HARDER FOR THE AVERAGE JOE BLOW, BUT FILM, PHOTOS, ROADS, AMOUNT OF HILLS, SIDE STREETS AND SO ON IS MAKING IT WAY TO EASY. I LOVE YOU GUYS AND YOUR VIDS, SPECIALLY ANYTHING FORD, SO PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY, JUST TRYING TO POINT OUT TO INSURE YOU GUYS STAY SAFE.

That's what I've always loved about this channel. it's always been about car guys doing car guy things (usually) on a budget and making it far more relatable to most viewers. JYD gets a car with a blown motor? He replaces it with a $500 questionable motor off marketplace, and uploads a 1.5 hour video showcasing the absolute fails that are probably going to happen 🤣 then you have other youtubers that, in a similar situation, would swap the motor with a $10,000 crate engine and upload a 15 minute video on it showing none of the work, then probably blowing the new one up because they have stupid amounts of money to blow

Couple small tips on using that wheel lift...back in the day when i had one of those i never used the cable (since cables can snap). I always hooked a chain to the boom and lifted it with the hydraulics. Then if youre going a really long way there is usually a way to pin it in place (maybe you did that-its hard to tell in the video). Also also...you really dont want to tow from the front. Spinning a dry transmission for more than a few miles is not ideal. Either pick it from the rear or pull the driveshaft if you want to be safe -you can just unbolt the back and strap/bungee it up.👍🏻

That green Pinto, that is what you should put the Windsor in. Tub it and paint it black. You'll have a race car all will want.

Kevin, great show as usual, but I'd like to point out one thing. Brake drums get out of round and brake rotors get out of parallel. If the rotor was out of round, the outer diameter would be oval or egg shaped. The inner and outer flat surfaces are parallel to one another, therefore, when the two flat surfaces are not perfectly flat to one another, they are out of parallel. Keep the projects coming.

There was a time when people could buy a car, drive it for 10 years, it broke down and they parked it in a shed and went and bought another car. Today, you need a trade-in or $3k down to buy a car.

An old timer I know used to buy a white dodge every two years, and if the local dodge was out of white ones he’d go get a white Chevy. 🤷♂️

@swamp-yankee Meanwhile, on the other side of the iron curtain, you had to wait years to save up enough to then apply for a car, then you waited another few years for the car to be made, then you got the keys to a Fiat from the 70's which was meant only for the city but you are forced to use it to go everywhere including on a 1000km trip to Bulgaria

@@berownik1246 I've heard that used cars were more valuable than new cars. If you had the money you could drive off with a used car but as you said if you wanted a new car you'd need to wait.
