I for one think it’s awesome that both of y’all don’t just abandon your older vehicles and you take the time and effort to update the older stuff and make it modern and badass between Aaron’s Z and Roxy y’all are keeping older stuff cool of course the Z and Roxy are both cool cars to start off with lol

One of the things that keeps me coming back to watch your channel is that you folks are human beings. You make mistakes, show us what you did wrong, and how you fixed them. You keep your cars and actually drive them. Your cars have character, and so do you. You are decent, kind, caring people with a love for turning wrenches. I love the interactions between Emily, Aaron, and Alaia (Edit: And Finlay too!). You manage to put a smile on my face every time I watch your videos. Thank you very, very much.

I am happy to see Roxy coming along. Forgetting a spring and having to bolt and rebolt stuff because I put things in the wrong order seems to be a common theme my life right now. When I saw the spring I literally gasp and yelled, "No!!!!" Good thing Aaron noticed it!

I love watching Aaron helping you. Like when you are whaling on that wedge pin with that little hammer. being a gentleman that he is he picks up the bigger hammer and hands that to you. As you are putting on parts he is lounging in a chair going through his smartphone stuff. He is a man after my own heart. I hope you know that I am just funning you all.

When you left that rear spring in place, I was telling you "No, no Emily... the spring's still there!" but for some reason, you couldn't hear me! Hmmm 🤔 lol Then when you were tightening down the shock mount adaptor, you said "Ugggas" referring to using the impact wrench, and I had to laugh, as that expression (so far as I know, anyway) originated with Eric O, from South Main Auto, way off in upstate New York, then a couple of minutes later, "Tappity tap-tap" danced off your lips. A sure sign of exposure to AvE, from even further north! You're soooooooo adorable, and Aaron is one lucky man, to be loved by you! 😊

I cant wait, the next project on mine is coil over conversion too. just rebuilt the rear and realized my rear coils are collapsed completely, got to wait a bit though. a few weeks after doing the rear my pressure plate went limp so I got a new clutch and plate and decided that I might as well do the trans too since second gear syncro was shot also, after pulling it apart found out 4thand 5th gear as well as the main shaft were shot too. finally got the last of the parts to finish it. I also decided it's time to paint my girl too. so its going to be a few more weeks before I'm driving her again. she's a yellow jacket but I'm considering changing her color but not sure yet what color. after 0ver 250,000 miles it might be nice to drive by police without yelling hey look here. lol, can't wait to see what y'all do with the nova

Strange Engineering is like the Super World Series Touchdown of drag racing and Motorsport. I didn’t know that G Force offered Strange products tho! That’s awesome! So long as people learn about Strange I am okay! Also at 9:11 Ems I got a cheap pickle fork from OReilly for like $12. I took it to the lathe and turned down the handle. It came with like two different screw on heads. Anyways I turned it down so it would fit in my pneumatic chisel/hammer. Made taking those off a breeze!

Finley can live a really long life- if you are prepared. He will most likely suffer from a collapsed trach when he is older. My wife's yorkie was one of the first to under go that replacement procedure & Miss Daisy lived an extraordinarily long life thanks to that. FYI. P.S. - As to roxy- SEND IT!!! Love how you guys show your oops moments- we all have them.

Heyyyy! Gosh, it’s been so long now I have to conjure memories 🤣 I don’t have a memory of scratching the coil springs while installing them so it may have no been an issue for me? And I didn’t move my adjustment on my shocks and it was at a great spot… if yours don’t perform to your liking you can shoot me a message on IG and I’ll get under Roxy and send you snaps of where mine are adjusted 🤠
@goat_life254 2 жыл бұрын
@@flyingsparksgarage thank you for the help. I’ve looked on ls1 gto forums and they all scratched theirs bad. I’m thinking spring compressor and toolbox mat for cushion. They do say they come preset nice but I figured since you’ve raced yours there’s probably been adjustments made. Very soon we shall see. Gto community is the best community.
