Chop shop

Isle of Man

a track or a winding country road this thing looks super grippy, so low & wide

take ferry from Dover drive to Geneva and take it through the alps to italy (BTW I know it wouldn't take an hour)

I will, very appropriately, say Amen to that! We were, indeed, created to create!

You couldn't be more right. Very very important for the future of raceing engineering, and racing itself.

Exactly. God gave us two hands to create and his son was a carpenter. You don't have to be religious to appreciate the metaphor.

No doubt. I only had wood shop with a low budget. 👍

Very true, my school used to have those but they say that there’s “no teachers” willing to teach those classes

He also sold his truck and trailer to fund the finishing of it, which is the part most people are not willing to do. If you want this type of work done you pay for it, and that's why pro shops don't put out cars like this. You don't get the $100,000 job if your budget is $400.

pizza with pineapple crust He can easily open his own shop and put most other shops to shame. He doesn’t need to work for anyone.

@@denismacfarlane255 if he charged shop rates to build this car for someone else. They would have 250,000.00 dollars in it. Maybe more. Plus, it's not completely finished yet. There is much more to do. Is the cage approved by any sanctioned organization?? Road race, drag race? Any???

I wish I could track the dude down to open a shop with him 😂

@@ltsgarage7780 pretty sure that cage meets atleast a 2302 spec, probably more along lines of a funny car certs.

This, there is nothing better than watching genius unfold in front of you, and the person being humble as well.

Hell of a way to kick off the year!

@@TheHoonigans You started the year with the bar too high now.

​@@jefferymckinney1 I agree. I love seeing what people build, but I don't know if anything can come close to how beautiful this Trans Am is. I'm sure one day someone will build something on a level past this, but I doubt it will be anytime soon. That LS Next is an amazing engine build. It sounded so good on the dyno. I don't even want to speak on the things I would do to own a N/A 700 WHP LS that revs to 10k RPM. I don't plan on having a child at this age with 10 solid years left of being able to and that's all I'll say.

@@wackomanx The most incredible part is it was done by one man in a car port.

@@wackomanx the fact he did it himself with just a few tools and learned everything he did as he did it.... what a future this young man has in car building... wow!

Right? I can't believe how humble he is about this masterpiece.

Sorry but you don't speak for every car person. There are MANY who don't like it. So dont try to speak for the entirety. It's a cool car, no doubt. Lots of hard work. But is it as badass as everybody says? Not really. It's another hoonigan-style car. Seen 1, ya seen em all. He gets props for the work and dedication. Just not my style. Nor is is a lot of other people's, either.

JC no one said anything about everyone liking it...? It’s just about respecting the unbelievable amount of work he put into it

👍

JC how can you not like it?!

We totally agree Davinder, so much time and energy put into this Trans Am, to build his ultimate dream car.

Hoonigan Yeah, just love it (NOT) when the haters crawl out from under their rocks and Sh!# all over his masterpiece, prolly because they’re just a jealous bunch of no-talent heels and have no dreams worth pursuing. 😬😲🙄 Just saying. 😎

@@glenholmgren1218 This, the car is incredible to begin with, then you add in being primarily built in a carport........ He has a great future, the next Smokey Yunick, or zora arkus duntov. Nothing better than an engineers brain and a gear heads make it happen attitude.

That's the word that came to my mind about 3 minutes into the video - "Genius". Stunning.

@@glenholmgren1218 jelly much

Best entrance ever.

Goals

...it cleared out the office. Everyone wanted to know, "What the HELL was THAT???" That is seriously impressive... and he seems like a nice guy as well. With that "Business Card" I hope he does well. I did my business card in Photoshop. Now it seems inadequate!! ;^)

@David Sanchez was thinking the same thing,but hey at lest its fast right,o and not riced. still ugly as F tho

Don't forget he didn't blueprint anything just shot from the hip.

someone hire this dude

He's so humble. Awesome.

Same here dude. What a perfection!

Genius, next!

Make a panzer tank

Handmade is the best made

Amen

So i take it this is your first custom built view of a car? Okay.

Someone needs to count how many times he said "thank you" ... cause it was a lot. Made me like the dude even more

This was the comment I was about to write. So humble.

For sure

@JB GTO - Now we need to see a wide bodied GTO judge

@@drewdaskievige754 as long as they use a Pontiac engine

Very talented and even more humble. An extremely rare combination...

So truuu

I would assume he has a job already...

@@Smokey7186 probably after having the car at Sema it wouldn't have gone unnoticed.

landy kid, Probably landed his own business by now...

He’s got a Job with Batman at this stage

I built a bike ramp when I was 16 lol

@Violent & Defiant oh yeah, and I broke my bike jumping off it, too. It was like shoulder high and built from old barn wood

As did I. If I ever got in trouble, my dad would lay out a plastic bed liner from his GMC Sierra he had around after he had a liner sprayed in and I would have to fill the liner up with dirt. After I was finished, I would have to fill the hole in. I had to do that all before I went to school, so there were plenty of extremely early mornings. I didn't like disappointing my parents but I didn't mind the work because it made my arms strong which helped since I raced BMX. Could be one of the reasons I beat everyone in my age class at the 2004 Grand Nationals. I was the only person in my class that could carry enough speed to jump the massive double that brought you into the first turn. Having enough upper body strength to pull for a jump that large was the reason I shut down and rolled the last straight's rhythm section in the main and still stayed out in front. Almost everyone's front rim had cross laced spokes for extra strength but I was one of a small group who ran straight laced spokes on the front rim. Running titanium spokes instead of the normal stainless steel helped keep the strength and helped keep the rim true. I also ran carbon fiber forks and it would have been a nasty sight had I ever front nose cased anything which I watched happen plenty of times.

@@wackomanx wow that's a really interesting parenting technique 😂 I may steal that haha Go Dig a Hole!

@@HUMMUHSMIFF What can I say, I have a smart Dad. He knew what he was doing when I was younger. He knew the right way to discipline me. Especially with words. Hearing that he wasn't mad but disappointed would make me feel so small. He also did so much for me that I don't think I could show him how much I appreciated it all or pay him back in this lifetime. A couple of years ago he had to have open heart surgery and I only visited him in the hospital once. I couldn't bring myself to see someone I think of as indestructible in the state he was in after surgery. If something like that was to ever happen again, I'd visit him as much as I could even if it broke me down into tears. I don't think Father's realize how important they are in their child's eye even if they had a Father present in their life when they were younger. They are half of the world to their children.

Joseph Novak I know that’s the same as a diesel but a lot of race v8s have high compression like that

It's basically a NASCAR style engine with EFI......crispy👍

Right? My little 2.0 diesel Tempo runs 16.5:1, but it's a freakin' diesel!

@@nickwebb9937 I don't think that high. This is very different.

coldest plugs they could find i bet.

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

heck yeah

I agree .like that show unique rides sucks ass

Lol... 😁👍💯

ahhhhhh ha ha! For sure. Just dont take off Naked and afraid ;)

Haha you're going to offend bisimoto

That 280 they had on here a couple months ago was rowdy too though......

@@Bunn4Funn I agree, that thing was top notch. Pretty level playing field between these two builds.

Really? The land speed car was in a class of it's own regarding engineering. Also, all the hoses on this Pontiac really need some rethought.

I’ll give you ONE of the sickest and well built cars..there is some tough competition for that title man

Jealous ppl thats who

Sean Cunningham underneath the chassis looked like it’s goddamn tentacles of doom

Thanks for alerting them, copper top.

There is no spoon

Tom's Turbo Garage turbo Tom!

@@dooder126 Wassup Alex!?

You know you have an "everything done to perfection" build when Tom is giving you props!

@@PHXDEMON Thank you for saying that sir! Man, the work Riley did here is just stunning. I've watched this video 5 times now and keep seeing new stuff each time.

@@TomsTurboGarage the attention to detail on builds like this and everything on your channel is nothing short of amazing. It's good to see gearheads being meticulous about every fine detail instead of just slapping together what "works for now". Even more incredible that this is a "side yard car port build".

Miss the days of Hoonigan where it was small, home garage, grass root guys.

Holly Hookers dang

Lmao!!

The sounds is even better

@KRISPIRACY That's just you man.

Can't believe that's the only clip of it running that they gabe us

Mike, you bringing in the Model A soon?

so much more respect for this guy than a simply wealthy "buyer". RESPECT !

Imagine getting it up the dock!

Very carefully...

Exactly what I was going to comment lol.

How does he get it anywhere with that static stance though

@@fukkyoutube dude if I had that cars with the amount of blood sweat and tears he put into it I would be so scared to drive it anywhere 😅

A motivated kid with a very wealthy mommy and daddy. I agree with Doug it's mostly show. That engine with a 10k redline on the track wont last much more than a few heat ups and cool off before the block is warped from the crazy piston speeds. A real track car would have moved oil scavenging tanks inside the wheelbase

Way more show than go. The other comments are correct. It'll tear itself apart or warp in no time. There is a reason all the other cars on the track are not built like this. It's because it's not a good design for function. Oh well the engine bay looks interesting.

In the video around 10:10 he says it's a Dart LS next block, those will only support a bore of 4.220 iron, he also said it displaced 400ci, so we know more or less what the stroke is 3.56" more if it's aluminum block. That is not a short stroke. At 10k that's a piston speed ~6000fpm, that is way too fast for anything besides being a dyno queen. Every NASCAR team running about 5100fpm piston speed, ruins a block every race from piston wall warping due to heat. The max piston speed to retain respectable reliability is around 4700fpm or a stroke of no more than 2.85" at 10k. @Keith Peterson

I don't need to know the stroke length, he said the engine displaced 400 ci in the video, I know the max bore size the block will take so it's not hard to figure out what the shortest stroke he could have used to achieve 400ci, math yo. Rod length which can also be determined easily isn't relevant to the piston speed issue I pointed out. There is no metallic cylinder sleeve material that can handle that kind of heat for any length of time. Even F1 when they revved to 18k only had piston speeds around 5000fpm. Also nearly all those engine shops build dyno queen engines, many of those build legit race engines as well. This engine would be fine at those revs for drag racing but not for track use where it would it would stay between 8-10k most of the time.

Why hire? He better open up his own shop ASAP!!!

@@Jinix64 Running a business is more than just doing the fun stuff. Might be better to get paid to just work, and let somebody else worry about that for a decade or so. No point in taking on all the extra stress unless there's somebody to partner with to handle all the paperwork and related BS. Time enough to start a shop up later, with some experience in what that's all about (totally different set of skills than welding and fabricating and designing and such). A good employer might even pay to go to school to learn that CAD stuff he was talking about.

@@jimvanm your points are valid, but maybe he can get a group of like minded individuals and work up from there as a team... Cause the more you wait to go on your own, the harder it becomes...

TimsAFK it will either inspire or make you want to just give up

Jake Browne - inspires me to fix that shit suspension

I got a 67 bird

Brett Haynes can you imagine the stress and pressure? Having to start that body work knowing you have to get it done in 4 days, all by yourself, outside!

@@ishotjustin i know man that's ridiculous, I respect these guys immensely who learn this stuff all by themselves and put in the work.

Brett Haynes same here! And like you said, it makes my head hurt thinking of all the detailed work that went into it.

I feel like he's far too professional 😂

Yeah, this is serious motorsport work and design. If Ken didn't have a rad factory team working with him this dude would be at the top of the list.

2,200$

This thing is mind boggling. You guys really know what your doing. I have to say that this car has blown my mind on what is possible. Someone has some good knowledge where you guys work.

I would hang a nicely framed photo of this engine compartment in my living room.

Like what? Nausea? It's everywhere, could have at least been somewhat symmetrical to match the rest of the car. Hopefully he at least made it equal length for all of the trouble.

@@BeardMan01 an 8 to 1 on a pushed back engine. Do you have any fab knowledge to understand how difficult this would be to accomplish. Or do you send your car to the mechanic to do everything for you . If you don't get it maby your just too old. Don't watch channels you don't like in future. Have a shit day

Coming from someone who more than likely had no clue what an 8 to 1 exhaust was prior to this KZfaq video 😂🤣

You better stop, or you risk blindness. :D
