I love that when Kevin has issues he keeps the camera rolling. Thank you for acknowledging that even with hundreds of cars under your belt things still go sideways sometimes. It makes the rest of us feel better!

Good inspiration for when you have to replace same gasket several times in a row... Heck I appreciate time gaps, I have a 82 k10 that broken supply chain, broken ankel, and other random life has staled the build.

If he didn't there wouldn't be a video this truck started off the bat if he didn't make a series of mistakes it would be a 5 min video. It looks almost intentional, like why put a pos carb that didn't even have jets. I swear sometimes he does shit the wrong way for the video. He always tries to fire shit with the shit gas, "it sat 20 years" thats a great idea. Then sit there trying to light it off break clean.

You guys inspired me to bring a barn find back to life. I'm more of a bike guy due to space constraints, found a rolling dirt dobber spider nest disguised as a V-Twin Yamaha that sat up for over a decade. Took a few weeks but I used some of your tricks and started the old girl up for the first time today. Big fan of your work, it's great saving these classics from the junkyard.
