For a guy who "Doesn't know what he's doing", you are doing a great job! My hats off to you Sir! No way I'm trying that project, not that I'm likely to have to anytime soon. I love your comments to those of us watching. There are always going to be those that have something negative to say but you take it in stride and brush them off. I love how great you guys work together and bring us along for the ride! Glad you are back doing what you love and providing us with great content to enjoy! Thanks so much to you both!

I realize that I am coming in here 9 months after the posting of this video it is true none the less. Aaron and you just put a 1,000 piece puzzle together without a picture on the box that the puzzle came in. I congratulate both of you for this massive undertaking for a project that you hadn't done before.

A little thought Aaron; when this car was built at the Bowling Green Cadillac factory, the transmission/differential/torque tube were installed as an assembly- along with the engine and front suspension crossmember. But you and Em are the people for this

In addition to taking lots of pictures, threading parts onto a piece of baling wire in the order and orientation they are removed helps get things re-assembled correctly. I have really enjoyed this series and appreciate all the effort you guys put into your channel and your builds.

At the end of the day it’s back together, and what’s the worse that could have happened, you take it to the transmission guy who’d tear it back apart and reassemble it for you two. But you took your time and double and triple checked it. And it seems to do what it’s gotta do, Aaron didn’t lose his marbles and toss things, which could have happened, and if Aaron’s not careful that transmission shops gonna offer him a job. LOL

My Grandfather was a mechanic back in the 1950's and 60's. One of my biggest regrets in life was that I never got to learn from him. He was my hero. One story our family tells is a customer once brought a car with a transmission issue to his shop. My grandfather tried to tackle it himself. He did it but swore he would never do another transmission again. Sharing this story is my way of letting you know how much respect I have for you guys. Even if it doesn't work when installed, you have my respect.
