I was watching when the hood took flight. It could have been worse. I've been working on cars for 50 years and the number of dumb things I have done is countless. Those are the lessons that you never forget. Keep upp the good work Doug.

You should check out the "Claw" style rivets. They expand with 3 "claws' that stick out. I use it whenever riveting to plastic.

Great that you were able to not only admit an oversight but then to make a video of it is a huge thing. Great job

Can’t wait to get my set in and installed!! Just ordered yesterday!

Sure wish I could see el toro run a 8 second pass!

Great vid. Good top tip Doug. Have a good week

Can't loose a hood if you don't have one 🤷🏻‍♂️

Button head bolts!!🤔🤔

I wanted to see if you could do a video round tube front end for the fox body mustang. I’m looking to do one and not sure what is involved. Thanks and great video

If you guys ever produce those tubular radiator/core supports.. I definitely would buy in

Great info. Always keep learning

Could also use a thin piece of aluminum rail on the back side of the plastic to sandwich the plastic in between when using rivets.

A tech tip Tuesday idea, share different diagnostic approaches for different issues you may encounter with misfires, failed boost solenoids, partially stuck open waste gate/blow off valve, excessive crank case pressure, low fuel pressure, etc. These cars dont have an obd2 port to give you trouble codes so how would you approach it within the tuning software, how you can spot poor data, and what kind of programmable warnings can you preemptively set within the software...

Literally just lost my hood down the track cause the rivets attached to the fender broke...this is hitting home for me...

Any rivet going into plastic I will use split rivets, claw style, washers or sheet metal backing. Also if you nut and bolt it I would suggest poly nuts.

8 1/2 days 😆😆😆, love the channel keep up the great work

Hoodie ordered. Cheers!

Great job and video 👍👍🇨🇱

Do you have any rails for 65-66 mustang

“We carry Dzus rails for all types of cars” except for the ones I need Rolmfao. I need fox body ones. But you’re sold out

PLEASE do some bolt in dzus rails for the ls1 Firebirds!!!

No more Daily videos?

Thanks for the laugh!

Go over some transmission cooler stuff, need to hear about what you use on the Nova to keep trans cool during race week and drag week! also El toro needs to do race week or drag week next year!

you need a obs chevy k1500 street build

Should have used some of that 200mph ductape

Again, Dzus fasteners are NOT a way to mount a bonnet. Pins are. Reinforce the bonnet with some reinforcing ribs under the bonnet to stop most of the flex. It may weigh a pound more but will not fly off. Though those ten fasteners probably weigh more. Pins also can be removed very quickly for a fire unlike dzus. And I have done this on road race cars that is doing 175mph 2 plus min lap after lap. Not under 10 sec.

When you guys going to produce them radiator supports for the s10’s???

bought the hoodie before you finished saying shameless plug.

You should buy better wax for El Toro, the stuff you use now sucks!
