If you figure what I would have paid for another 650whp engine and a t56 magnum package, it would be what I paid for the whole truck.

Coincidence that you and Robbie got OBSs at the same time? 🤔 I’d love to see a video that breaks down 3 link vs 4 link when converting to coilovers and what type of driving/racing each would be best suited for. Maybe an explanation of panhard angle and what effect changing the angle has on handling. Keep making awesome content!

I’m looking forward to this series, I’ve got an engine sent off to be machined and rotating assembly balanced but on the fence for what compression it will end up at. I’ve got a turbo and manifold for the setup but if compression is too high then I’ll go na. Was wanting something for autocross but at the same time a fun street truck would be amazing.

Looking forward to suspension mods. Especially anything to help front end geometry. Having been wrenching on 3 projects which were modded before a friend and I worked on them, I'm all for building from a clean stock vehicle, chasing other people's screw ups gets old. Don't mean to be negative but we just replaced a TAC module in a C5 which was missing a bracket. Just the latest correction of a pretty expensive build for the original owner. But... you'll have some nice don't do this stuff to cover in the videos.

I follow the previous owner of the truck on socials… and I just hope yalls plans with the truck kinda in the same ethos as his. He built it a Japanese Americana styled OBS that took inspiration from JDM cars and it was ment to be fast have nice wheel/tire fitment and could drift…. I’d be sad if the truck did 180° and turned into something else

@level7motorsports 6 ай бұрын

No, I have a very deep connection to Japanese car culture, and it won't be doing a 180. I'll call it a slight turn uphill. Thanks for watching.

@Artemriders13 6 ай бұрын

Hahah, so you know that on the way home (I was driving very slowly and carefully) my engine died and the wiring caught fire? But I never said a single bad word about the previous owner, because I respect his work and understand that this is a modified truck with which anything can happen. And he put me another block, for which respect to him, even though I paid him money for that. Unfortunately, this block did not last even one burnout and after that I decided swap the engine to 6.0. The suspension was all old, I changed all the steering rods, since the truck could drive only straight and even then it was not stable. Cornering was out of the question. There were bicycle wheels in front, the axle was jumping, the interior was in terrible condition. And I still respect him because it was my decision to buy this truck. I fixed a lot, but there were things that I didn’t get around to, for example, the fuel system, which is located in the bed. This is not a build from scratch, I just corrected numerous bugs every weekend. With this suspension it allows you to drift for fun and at the same time be very low. This is my style. So how did I ruin the truck? Let's go point by point. I never said that the truck was perfect, but truck is really fun. And I never forced Jesse to buy it. Even while talking to Jesse, I insisted on going and showing the truck to his friend before make a deal! So that there are no questions for me. I had to travel 1.5 hours one way, but I wanted everything to be fair. And Jesse didn't say anything bad to me in a DM after the purchase, but I can see that he's unhappy in the video and in the comments here. Which I think is not respectful, because people don’t see all the nuances.

@level7motorsports 6 ай бұрын

Please don’t take this badly. I am not un happy at all. I am happy with what I bought and am having a blast making it my own! I mean no disrespect at all.
