Well it won't be me at 10000. I chimed in sometime back and subscribed. Glad to see you approaching that benchmark.

I joined very early, wish I knew what number actually. Of all the car related things on y/t, Kiwi's is by far my favorite.

@@oldtimerf7602 well thanks man. Glad your enjoying it !!

The numbers 🔢 are wrong. It counts me , a Kiwi 🥝 as a Full Person. Everyone knows I'm a half....

@@deanstevenson6527 lol😂

I do get a kick out of getting that factory look when it's not😀

I really appreciate the factory looking install!

Thanks man!

Thanks man!! I just try and do it right. It may not always be the quickest or easiest but it will be right!!!

Cheers bud. The devil is in the details but you know that!!

@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 sure do!

Thanks man. It pays off in the long run!!

Thanks man and thanks for the support!!

Cheers mate!!

Cheers mate, we try😀

Cheers mate. Will defiantly be reporting on on the results.

Thanks man and thanks for watching

Thanks man, we try!!

Cheers mate

Cheers mate!

Yeah he does okay for a flightless bird. The school of life is where most of it comes from bud. Problems come up and so do solutions. Sometimes you don't get it sorted on the first try but hey, ya just learnt how not to do it😁😉

@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 I know of to 1970 mustangs. They are in North Carolina out towards the western side. One of them is a Mach One and the other one's a boss. The fella that I've been in communication with once one but I don't think he wants both of them. It's an interesting situation on going about to buy them. I'll spare you the detail for now unless you are interested possibly in acquiring one of them. The short of the story how this man came to own these two cars is this. 1970 he bought two brand-new mustangs. One for his soon-to-be sixteen-year-old son and the other one for himself. His son in 1971 was riding with another friend and that friend had a car accident and so this man's son was killed. The cars sat after that inside a building with 3000 and 5000 miles. A number of years ago probably measured in decades he moved them out to near a Creek. They were setting on a nice picnic graveled area. One of the cars he traded off to some guy for some money and some land. Any also got a 70 mustang in the deal as well. Which one has only 3,000 or 5,000 miles on it I don't know. How many miles the other one has that he horse trailer for I don't know. But they have been setting now behind the house for a number of years and people have busted out window on one of them actually I think it was a deer 🦌. And basically just sat and rot and how far gone I don't know. Oh okay the rest of it it's gotten too long anyway. The man is in his nineties bedridden and his niece and her husband are taking care of him and supposedly have power of attorney. They don't trust a lot of people. Anyting that would interest you or not? I've never seen the car and I could put you in touch with the guy. The price that was thrown out to him was $22,000 for the pair. Given all the circumstances I told a man that I would just sit back and wait. So he's waiting he's actually looking for a 53 Ford pickup as well. You seemed like a mustang to say the least

@@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525 I could be interested yes.

@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 I will email the guy. I'm not looking to make one red cent off of anything. But this fella seems to want to deal through me for some reason. And I'll tell him about your channel heck you may already be a subscriber and viewer I don't know. The man's well-educated but he comes in the backwoods like I do. Even though him and I are from two different parts of the country. I just like seeing these old hunks of vintage history saved. I don't care what they are. Even Fox body's I don't like them. Anyway I'll email him and when he gets back with me I'll update you.

@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 I sent Jeb the email with your link to your KZfaq channel. I figure it's a good way for him to get to know you. I used to travel the Appalachians a fair amount like anyplace else they have their unique way of going about things. I actually like the area

It's an expensive lesson! Thanks for watching!!

Thanks man and thanks for watching

Thanks man, your too kind !

@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 love watching you all and how well you all get things done.

It works really well! Thanks for watching

Thanks man, give me a call!

I’m sure I’ll be calling as you rock the old classic vehicles..! Hey just watch the Ford you customize back in a believe was 2013? Wow, nice creation love the look you did for the Ford, the um Kiwi Classic or KC forget the number designated which you’d given that custom, so nice Sir! I’ll be in touch in Spring Summer no doubt soon.. I’m putting in my American AutoWire for the 63 c-10 Chevy this evening and yesterday.. easy swap over I’m finding after initially thinking oh God! Ha ha, again you Rock Sir, keep them on the road.. old steel is best, “No chips please.” Ha ha, hydromechanical systems are the mechanics dream I find. Thanks for the creativity shown on your channel. Found you through UTG, you guys are so dam funny… c-ya

To be fair it's more expensive too. Though I'm finding more and more that people are willing to spend the money to get it done right which is nice for guys like me !

Me too!! Thanks for watching

Thanks. It's harder to do and as a result more expensive but the end result is worth it!

Wow thanks man!!

Yeah, a bit more work to move a ford one back. Chevys fight you in different areas so it's swings and roundabouts really 😁

You can't turn a 8"or 9" driveshaft 90 deg only 180deg. Too small of a diameter will cause problems due to "windup" Incorrect angles are the biggest cause of problems in my experience. Thanks for watching man!

Thanks for the insight, I was unaware of that fact. Learn something new everyday!

He's next on lift ! Going to have to move the crossmember in the same way

What car do you have??

@Kiwi Classics and Customs I do not have it yet, but I know of a 1967 Fairlane that was a drag car most all it's days. Rust and dent free. Roller, with nothing at all in the interior. 100% bare. It will be a real project, but a better start I will never find. If I can't end up with it, then I will find something else. But that is the one I really want. I want it to have a Rev happy 289 and a 4 speed with like 3:73 gears. It has a Detroit locker in back at the moment.

@@oldtimerf7602 sounds good !!

Man it's always a bit daunting the first time. There's always an answer, just sometimes it's a bit harder to find👍

The back edge of the cross member had to be trimmed a bit. It is right beside the shifter opening now

You've got it bud. Thanks for watching!!

No, that's a bell housing made for the Tremec swap. You can use the stock bellhousing but you need to use an adaptor plate to allow the tremec to bolt up to it. Either way you go you do have to line up the bellhousing with the crankshaft. I've seen them as far as .038 out of alignment and that's just due to the machining tolerances that were deemed acceptable back in the day. The tremec can only live with a maximum of .005 misalignment. This is due to the design of the transmission. Making them stronger has required a lot tighter tolerances internally and is not an issue with todays engines that are machined to much more accurate tolerances also. To date I have not seen a ford , Chevy or Mopar earlier than the 2000's that didn't need to be realigned.

@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 Tkx, so much for the info !!

You'd have to lower it 1 1/2" or so and that's going to get your oil pan into the engine crossmember and your exhaust very low to the ground.

I'd demonstrate but I can't afford to lose that many subscribers😂

Well yes it probably could be achieved through shimming the pinion but that still left you with space issues in the trans tunnel. Nothing like a trans touching the floor or crossmember to give you a mean vibration.

@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 Oh I must of missed the touching the floor part, carry on. 😎

Shifter comes out the stock location. It's adjustable so you can move it a couple of inches in all directions

Got it from American Powertrain.

Get the Close ratio one !!

Tony is Tony, what you see is what you get. We dont always agree on methods and that's ok there's usually more than one way to get to your goal. Thanks for watching 👍
