So what is new this week?
Will the compressor up man
Hey
Junk you said it was old used compressor
Well, I mean it wasn't used when I got it. I got it brand new, but it was a while ago
That's right
I was telling somebody in front of the wife that it was like it's like more than 20 20 years old 20 years old
She's like I got it for you and we've been together 15. I'm like, oh, yeah
Better get my story straight
So yeah, I was about 15 years older. I bet somewhere in there, but I
Gave I can definitely tell just change just getting a new a new compressor. I know it has more CFM
But just the like actual runtime like it was running a way too long. That's why I kept burning out
Electric motors it was like that. We're on the third electric motor
So it's like do I put an electric motor on it again?
Or do I just get a new compressor and I think getting the new compressor is definitely the answer
I guess a lot. It's a lot faster. Yeah, probably overdoing the duty cycle on the electric motor. So they couldn't cool down
Yeah, definitely it's when when we went back there after I noticed that we had no air it was smelled like a
Burnt electric motor. It's pretty awesome
Yeah, yeah, and the pump turns like free
pretty easily
So I'm pretty sure it's like it's just straight worn out, but it's definitely not worth fixing
Not for you can get a compressor
Probably put that never in town place
Yeah, I thought about putting it up on marketplace, but it could also
Not that I want to keep any efficient
Air compressor, but I used to have it in my garage at home and I could just put an electric motor on it and just run it for
At home. It's not like I'm gonna be doing
like painting cars at home or anything
so
Yeah, I think I could use it at home, but not like I really need it either. I mean, it's just a big
No easy corner taker, you know
Never see enough space in the garage. We got a new
The old one was like 14 CFM at 90 psi and this one's
almost 18 CFM at
170 psi
And the important thing is it's yellow. So it really really shows the quality. Oh, yeah
Well, it was the only thing that was a there was like almost the exact same
exact same pump just like a little bit different configuration of the
Gages on it at a different place that was a little bit cheaper, but
We would have had to wait until Saturday, you know, we would have been out of air
So I was like a couple hundred dollars more or three hundred dollars more
I can have it the next day and actually still make money. So that's the route we went
Yeah, I'm sure you can make more than three hundred dollars in a few days. Yeah, that's the idea anyway, right?
Yeah, and then we picked up me and my buddy Travis from a Draxler service picked up this Mustang here
It's definitely down the line work, but we're
Excuse me. We're getting
Just getting our ducks in a row and trying to get be as prepared as we possibly can and
It was just taking a broad space as far as he's he was until we could get to it
So it was kind of you to get it here and get a game plan for spring time when we can actually start working it into the schedule
So that's kind of what we're doing, but he's it's pretty cool. It's not going like
Really?
Rest all mighty too far. It's gonna be
Just all kind of a hardcore Mustang. I
Forelink in the back and upgraded front suspension and then like a hot small block. He doesn't want like a big block or any sort of
Modular motor or anything like that. You just want to take some like a high displacement small block or something like that
Kind of corky and high revving is what he wants. I guess we'll see
nice
My friend had a Fox body with a 454 small block forward in it. That was do it. Wow
I used to go to the track with him a little bit and a thing would just do wheel stands on
Jesus braided carbureted motor
Next
They'd be fun. They'd be super fun. It was like low. These cars are so light. Oh
Wow
Yeah, these mustings are so light
I mean as long as you do like the minimal stuff to them that there's like there's no way to these cars are so so light so
Right, I'm 500 for 500 horse is gonna go a long way and something like that
I think four or 500 horsepower
Naturally aspirated goes a long way just about everything. I
Don't know. I mean our Bronco has close to that and it's not that impressive. I mean it it gets out of its own way, but
I guess I should say maybe it's more is it closer to 300 horse and it's like 400 foot bones of torque
But I don't think it's three. I don't think it's water horse. That's wild
Could be a gearing thing too
It's got 10 of them
That's just seems like a lot of opportunity for problems
I
Don't know I've talked to transmission guys and they're like talking about these kinds of transmissions
They're like we'll never have to be inside of them. Basically saying that they're pretty well built
Yeah, that's good. That's what I was kind of dumbfounded by that too
It's like seems like a lot of a lot more parts to go wrong. He's like they're just built too good. Okay
Sounds quite suspect to me. It sounds like it's a challenge accepted
So after all that talk about how you don't like hauling vehicles around you're picking up vehicles for customers
Me I didn't pick it up Travis did I just rolled with him
Yeah, it's not my rig
Yeah, he got paid to move it like it's it's they do hauling too so they do towing hauling
Restoration all kinds of stuff so that's cool out of body mechanics. They gas station. They got all that stuff there
Sounds like the setup
It's it's quite set up. Yeah, like oh no, I
Have yeah, so it's going on with me, man
I've been geeking out all week, and I've been holding out telling you about it. I
Have a new obsession I
Found out that Toyota made a production v12 for like 20 years
And
It's I found out I can get one for a couple grand
What and I found out it bolts to my tundra transmission away
We're doing it I think you have to know so oh you fucked up you should have just went that route right away
Uh
It's gonna be expensive by the time I do all the engine management and everything but up
so I was watching a video and it was this guy in his
Toyota century which is like a Toyota's
You know premium luxury car their coach built. There's like sure special factory forum
Everything's hand-done hand wet sanded well all the like seams are brazed by hand and then metal shaped out
I mean, it's a super. They've got specs on how thick the paint can be how many layers of paint can be sure
There's super spec'd out top of the line, you know, they're like their presidential car for Japan and
They put a v12 in them from 1997 or 1998 through 2017 or 2016
America's not an American car not an American
Sure
It's the only production v12 Japan ever had
And apparently it's quite similar
because it's the same years as the
V8 that they put in my tundra they put in you know the American luxury cars like the LS 400
It's all kind of super similar engineering
Forge crankshaft forge connecting rods
Same reliability if not better because they're made in like a coach built scenario where there's the same guys
Yeah, sure everything is super documented in that facility and everything like that
I saw this video this guy was he bought a century in Japan
Some youtuber paid some shop to put like an
$18,000 stainless exhaust setup on it like a super tuned exhaust so it sounds like an F1 car
And he's driving on this huge
Like saloon sedan, you know
Just a huge luxury and he's like pulling up the supercar meets and they're revving their McLaren's and stuff in that video
Yeah, wow, so that's what was in that car interesting
What's like a stock spec horsepower on something like that like 300 horse something like that so in the 90s
Japan have agreement across all manufacturers that they wouldn't go above a certain
280 horsepower so like all the turbo cars and everything is like supposedly under 280 horsepower
So their spec horsepower is 276 and then they're 400 something foot pounds
But I guess they were never 276 they were like 300 something sure
If a guy was to get that
Throw some nice headers on it change the intake manifold up because it's since it's for a luxury car. Everything is made to be
First log style manifolds on it the intake is quite a elaborate setup that is made for smooth long torque
And what what do you use for managing that?
How do you fucking?
How do you do use engine management? What do you do? What do you use for that fuck?
So from the factory, this is what it gets wild. It had two ECU is one for each bank
Christ and I guess even back then they had it set up so it would shut six cylinders off when you got to like cruising speed and stuff like that
So like the GM wasn't then you said well
Yeah, so very headed
Yeah, so stock it has two ECU's all the engines I'm looking at imported come with the ECU's the wiring harness
Yeah
Did they come in anything other than of like rear wheel drive setup
Rear wheel drive
Sure
They didn't build it for like an exotic or a sports car. They'd like literally they were like
Yeah, it's just that they would have a that that size of an engine and not use it for something else
It's interesting
Sure
Obviously, it's five liter, you know, they only read like six thousand horsepower or six thousand rpms, which is like
For the sounds coming out of it, fuck, yeah
You got to think how many exhaust pulses there are per revolution. Yeah, yeah
Pretty good
The way I was thinking about it is I wanted to turbo my V8
To get some more power out of it, but the as I've already found out when I blew my V8 the connecting rods are very lean
So I would have to do connecting rods in mind to make more power
And then I wanted to get an exhaust build an exhaust that was tuned to raise the frequency of
The sound coming out which I would have done
You know how to have baffles and then there's these chambers that you have come off
They call like a J pipe comes off the side to reflect the sound back and introduce
So I was gonna do all that to get this
Sound
Like okay, so I already have to tear the motor part and put connecting rods in it
I would already planned on putting, you know, a thousand dollars into an exhaust that I was still gonna have to engineer and build
That pretty much pays for a V12
So how much do you think it would be cost to create it and have it brought over here a thousand bucks like two a thousand bucks
probably there's one right now
online
For $1500 on sale from a JDM importer and they'll ship to my door for $400 so $1900 I don't know why you haven't pulled the trigger yet
Because I just rebuilt an engine in my truck and all this other stuff
It's the whole the whole time you're talking about your exhaust. I'm thinking myself dude
You blew your engine up and then and then decided that's the determining factor
Just to do in the truck and now you're like ace that shit. I need to ace that shit now, too
It's so good. I I knew that there was a
B12, you know, it was in the back of my head a long time ago
I'd seen that those centuries had a V12, but I was like, oh, that's because I knew that
You know big luxury sedan with
But it didn't register much because they weren't in America
I did you should probably buy two of those
You know Sam I get what you're after
And then I was like I saw that and it rekindled like oh crap, and then I looked and they're actually available
An expensive one in America is about four grand
but there are
You can get them in America for two grand
So they're every private
You can get them for two thousand dollars
You've got like internal parts for them. Can you buy shit for them though?
Sounds scary
Sure, but I would suspect that they're pretty probably like not
Probably pretty mild engine in general
You know the reason the luxury cars like the Rolls and the Bentley's they all run a V10 V12 is because they have like
smooth power
Right so many pistons running and you don't have a vibrating engine because of the frequency of the fire
Also
Yeah, I there's a Lincoln Zephyr for sale at
Draxler's that I when I worked there and I had
It was all kind of I think majority of it was original paint
so we buffed it all out and stuff, but they totally rebuilt the V12 and
The advertisement for that was like lighting a cigarette and then setting it on the engine and it would not
It would just sit there and like they wouldn't fall off and yeah, it ran that smooth. They're like ultra smooth
Well, you wouldn't believe it like
For it was like the last one some of them some people don't consider it. I think it's a 41 or 42
There's a 46
It's like the really really goofy looking one
It's almost got like sideways grill. It's not like it's not the super desirable version and it's a four-door
It's got a run running drivetrain V12 drivetrain, which is definitely worth if somebody had a Zephyr that didn't have that
It's worth the money that they're asking for it. I think they're asking like 30 something for it
Oh
Yeah, it's got like
It's it's got some really crazy features like overdrive on a button on the dash. I think something like that some crazy shit
So I found I did a little research saw that I could buy these in the in the US already imported and I walked up
No, I gotta save a couple grand
No, I just found out Toyota has a V12 that'll bolt to my truck transmission
That's fucking good. Yeah, that's really good. Oh
That's pretty good. Did you follow anything any SEMA stuff at all this last week?
Looking at it here and there
Haven't been consuming too much of the internet this week, but definitely
For the five minutes, I'll flip on the Instagram or something like that. I have definitely been seeing some
Yeah, definitely there's some of the stuff is pretty crazy there
That Vinnie's hot rods that I think was a 70 mustang on a ride home and that things
Really really really really nice like it wins it wins for me
It's just fucking slam
Right, I mean the precision and in wasa had a booth there and
There they just had like the 70s truck that had all original paint on it
But I think it was just to highlight their product on it. Obviously, so
But yeah, I want to talk to you about them those guy you're gonna get your connection with that guy for
maybe something
future maybe I
When I they had my car at their facility, I knew that they kind of showed me there was two SEMA builds that they were working with
Yeah, they're everywhere that when they I didn't realize when as soon as I started following them on on social media, they're like
Everywhere they got booth set up everywhere. I don't know if it's the same person or not, but
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
It's just kind of strange when they're like right down the road
Right super strange. Yeah, definitely especially when they're made like almost all the aftermarket rubber made for old cars
Is made like right down the road. It's pretty crazy
Seen that Tremac came out with a six speed for C8 Corvettes
But that's pretty rad. Oh, yeah, I did see that too. Yeah, I think you sent it to me actually
Yes, look, I mean, I that's pretty crazy. I think that's pretty cool
Can't wait to see people cutting them things up. I'd love to do it
But I think if I bought one I'd be like, I don't know
Like just doing this and shifting and being faster that somebody made a comment on like
40 grand and you still have to install it and it's slower. It's like, yeah, you're not wrong
But it would be a lot a lot of fun
Well, for sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep. Yeah, I mean I can
Do
Yeah, can you imagine something that has never had a manual transmission
Adapting it to it. It's not gonna be like a cheap easy thing 40 grand for the transmission and then adapting everything
Just trying to get linkage up to the front. You're gonna have 10 grand and just trying to do that
Didn't see that
Yeah
Yeah, I guess however they would work like a remote shifting mechanism, you know, that would be the easiest
Somehow they could do that. Yeah, maybe there is like some sort of electric
I have no idea
Everything else is drunk, but
Everything else is by wire, right?
Yeah
Yeah, the I thought I seen a video of a C8. It was like at what is that race track in California Laguna or something?
Laguna Seca coming around a corner and it like lost. I don't know if it's that the
Those C8s are a drive-by break or drive by wire in the brakes
But that's kind of what it claimed and the brakes went out and it just like instead of turning the corner
It kind of just hit the wall and that's what the video claimed is that they were the brakes just completely failed didn't even turn on
That's pretty scary, but also
It's a C8 on a racetrack. I mean who knows what is factory on it. What's not, you know
Steering I want a linkage
I want hydraulic. I want I want you still to be able to push the brakes even if the battery dies or something
Well, do you think it almost be especially on a race car like a pedal thing if you want to be able to feel it a little bit
I don't know. Maybe that's just me
My race car driver no race car driver
Yeah, yeah, this the 66 over here has got electric electric assist steering
It's got a big electric motor on the steering column underneath the dash and
It's makes it really tough to work on makes it really tough to install
There's just to get parts installed around it. It takes up a lot of room. So
It's been a challenge
Even till now just get installing it by yourself is like a fucking nightmare kind of
Just heavy and awkward
Like super heavy on the one side
I have seen a lot of people switching to the they get the Tesla brake booster
It's just a like a
Hydro boost electric hydro boost thing
Staying to that has that as well
It's got like I think after you lose power you still have what did I read like?
90 pumps in the pedal or something like that like it was a lot of pressure it built like yeah
It's I'm sure it's less than that in real life, but it's hard to say
You don't even remember the honest
Yeah, great fail. It's hard to keep all those like product companies in your brain
Yeah, just a couple
Yeah, we definitely have enough in the door right now to do
Yeah, you know, it's hard to complain
When the when the whole goal is to that, you know, when you have a full plate when the goal is to eat, you know, because that's saying
Like that
Yeah, yeah, so new compressor going got a couple days on it now I
Ran out of argon then after I got one of the scoops welded in the Mustang
I ran out argon on Thursday afternoon, so
Switched to doing some other stuff Friday morning, and then we had to get the car Friday middle of the day the southern
67 years
Yeah
66 this week
Yeah, I try and fit in as much as I could as much as I could with everything going on as the compressor thing and
Yeah, it was a lot anyway
Yeah, I got a lot of the scoop stuff done. I got the quarter panel drop off on the
Driver's side ready to weld on I was gonna start tacking it together swap the tank over and it was like oh, yeah
This one's empty too shit
Make sure to label your empty empty tanks argon because I
Didn't when I lifted the tank on I'm like, oh, no like I hope I just
Oh
Yeah, so
Whatever they're coming Wednesday, so I just I have enough stuff to do to I just had to shift gears and started working on the
Actually started metal finishing out the hood because it was never I got the
The welds kind of finished out a little bit and stretch back out, but never really actually finished
So now I got the hood
All the high spots shrunk down and that's actually looking like there'll be very very minimal mud in it
which is kind of a goal so
Then I got up the rear valence as well because it so the quarter panels in the back drop down on the on the 66
To match the the rockers that we extended down and then so when you look at it from the back of the car
then it almost looks like
This big weird wedgy thing because it's the quarter panels coming up so extended down the corners of the
rear valence to kind of start at this
Swooping fashion that we're kind of it's gonna kind of come around to the quarter panel
So from the back, it's gonna look really aesthetically pleasing the whole idea is like from any angle
You're not seeing a bad
Like a bad line on the car
So you like that's why at night when you're walking around the car and channel
I'm trying to visualize a bad angle and if I can find one that's that's usually the problem
not that that we're trying to
like spend all the time changing everything about the car, but if we're going to be doing something and
Fabricating something I'd rather it be like makes sense and flow and have a purpose, you know
You
Mm-hmm
But it was just making like a simple little curve, but sometimes it's standing back and doing a couple tape lines getting the right curve down, you know
Yeah, yeah
Well
Well, yeah, no, there's an inner and an outer and
It was actually pretty tricky welding that in because I didn't want that because that outside lip where it gets welded to the outside of the quarter panel
You can't really get in there to finish it out with any sort like with anything, you know, so you don't really want it to
Shrink up too much and warp too much when you're welding it in
So I made a piece of flat bar steel that kind of followed that curvature and retained the
It really worked really well
It it almost it wasn't wrapped against the backside of the weld
So it didn't the heat soak the weld too bad
But it did take the heat away from right next to the weld so it wouldn't really warp or anything
You never really got really
Wavy or anything so it it helps that the scoops were made out of 18 gauge
So they're really in comparison to the quarter panel very thick
So it helped keep everything a little more sturdy, but yeah, I think it turned out really awesome
But it's welded on the inside of the wheel opening too. I do want to do some sort of
Vent or something so potentially rocks or something wouldn't come back through
And I don't necessarily know that I don't necessarily know that seeing the tire through that is aesthetically pleasing
So I have an idea for some vents that I kind of came up with I kind of had a had a vision on Friday
That it'd be nice to it'd be cool to have like a
Almost like louver vents that comes to like straight down like this
So when you're looking in there like like this kind of almost I don't know if that makes sense, but
I have an idea so
Kind of yeah, yeah, yeah, like yeah, you're right, right, but yeah, I don't know we'll see I
Gotta you know get the car welder the other first before we start thinking about that kind of shit, but
In the wheel arch it hooks off to the side a little bit so it diverts the air to the side and then there's no straight through
It's straight through so the whole idea was to keep that
The panel that continues in the middle of the door that I replaced that that goes all the way through like that that
Plane is like that'll be bodywork like it's one straight plane that'll go all the way through to the scoop
So it doesn't really it just like the it's almost like the continuation of from the front of the of the
Wheel the front wheel opening like the inside of those two body lines
It's just a continuation of that going through that that side scoop
So it's once it's all bodyworked in it'll look really fucking cool like and
The scoop almost looks double as thick because of the reflection of the panel behind it
So it's like it almost it's gives it a weird like it almost from the side looks factory because the line is just the same
But then once you start turning and you're seeing the depth change. It's really really cool
Well that's it wanted they wanted those scoops like the side scoops
The Shelby style that kind of stick out and they look like
To me they just once they start putting all these scoops on the side of the car that stick out it looks really like really I
Don't know it looks
Yeah, it'll just looks yeah fighter jet. I don't know it's just not my thing. So I
Kind of had an idea to make the scoop go all the way through because it just utilizes the what's already there for lines and stuff, you know
To me, it's like kind of the factory
Back like a factory it looks back factory ish
But it's very much like GT 40
like even the late the latest GT 40 each year was different but like the
2018-17-18
Those things are pretty crazy
If you did put
Yeah, I think so at the like basically in the wheel opening into the scoop I think
Yeah, I don't know if you'd be
Go ahead
Exactly, I mean even after we after a fabric them and getting them welded in I'm like we've been getting paint in here is gonna suck
Actually once you get in the wheel opening like I shouldn't do a little video from the inside of the wheel opening because once you look through
From the wheel opening it looks super deep from the from the outside of the car
But from the wheel opening you can shoot you'd be able to shoot in paint primer and paint pretty easily
It's not too good
You're gonna yeah for sure
Should be a good time solid color we're not going metallic
Yeah
Everybody's so worried about complicating their paint
Yeah, I mean, I think there's I think there's some factory flaky colors it like that that
Granterino we did that thing was the call the factory color and I think was beautiful
I guess it's really fucking cool. I don't think I've ever seen a color
nobody really redos like metallic greens and stuff like that, but I
Don't know I do like solid colors myself. That's just my gig, but I can appreciate all
Kines some of them. They just suck worse
My truck is solid black solid white solid red
I
Really like mixing like metal heavy metallic colors with satin clears stuff like that that stuff is really fun
Like if we could do like a dark dark
dark solid green color on the 66 and then have some of the under hood color be like a
Darker medium gray metallic heavy metallic with some satin clear on it would be like
We're trying to retain some of the like factory casting
Like we're not gonna be painting everything under the hood. You know the pro charger the engine block everything is kind of a raw
Raw
Metal look so we're trying not to go to nuts as far as like having everything painted so
Matching some of that would be kind of cool to some extent
Hmm
To me it's almost like things are too pretty to even put your hands on at work on so to me at this car
I mean not like anybody's gonna be getting their hands on and working on it like not you know like old cars or
Whatever
But it you know has to be serviceable workable and you know
Not everything under the hood needs to be is but that ultra beautiful for every customer, you know, not everybody's looking for that
Is that stuff really heat I've never used it before ever is that like got a lot of heat heat resistance
I don't know if they have certain ones. We'll kind of a finish so you can spray it over any finish really
I think it has to be direct to metal. So it's like powder coat
But it's a liquid and then you bake it on. Oh, you have to bake it yet, too
So, okay, okay, okay
That seems like a lot of fucking around I
Think I've seen it done cool on like
Certain certain accent parts that you want to highlight in an engine bay. So you have like, you know, your regular painted
Definitely see the aesthetic to it. It's just man. That's just another layer of tools and I need oven then and shit, you know
Fuck
Yeah, that's where there's there but that's an unfortunate thing about where where I am central Wisconsin
There's not a lot of places like that to sub stuff out to and even if there are it's all it's almost really hard to
Find somebody that's actually good at it, you know, like there's people that do powder coating but
Is it good? I don't know. I haven't seen too many that were like really awesome looking
Yeah, I know high-pressure stales
Like I said, I'm in the Marshfield, Wisconsin
I think I have more I've got like three times more YouTube subscribers than people in my town
It's fucking funny that's not necessarily a bad thing, you know, I don't I don't live in a small town isn't a bad thing
it's just about having a
As a business having the right resources in front of us because I can't do everything and I don't want to do everything
I don't want to be the guy that has like
Not bragging about doing turnkey hot rods. That's not a thing that I I would
Pride myself on I don't have the bandwidth to do all of it, you know
So
To me if I start struggling and I know I could be making money doing what I know what how to do
I mean, it's not necessarily like I'm just trying to
Not learn like I'd love to learn new things, but it's almost you have to manage your business at the same time
So there's a status quo you have to ride to a certain extent and
Longer I've been in business the more I know staying in your lane
You can make a lot more money in your lane than you can
Struggling in somebody else's
Yeah, I mean but being I mean I
It's all you can't be ignorant to the other aesthetics of the job though, too, you know, that's the hard part
you know, that's why if me having the
Background of doing collision as well and having your hands taking apart cars like all the way and putting them back together
And it's really not that big of a deal because there's a game plan in a computer somewhere if you need it, you know
So it's almost nuts. It's it's like, you know, how things should go in and come out. So for me, I like
Personally my angle is like I'd like to get I'm like on that Mustang get all of the electronics
Basically anything that needs to be bolted in bolted in
the functioning things functioning as far as like I
Don't know like like electric windows and stuff like get the motors and everything installed and then just have somebody come in
Wire it or take it somewhere have somebody wire it plummet stuff like that. Just so it's the things are there
You know, there's less less questioning from from a mechanics perspective. Just make it make it function now
Yeah
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, there's definitely people around that can do it
But trusting somebody and then making sure that they're gonna be around in a couple years with the car, you know, cuz not this
Especially this higher-end restaurant stuff doesn't take if nothing that happens overnight even at a high-end shop
Nothing happens overnight, you know, at least they pretend, you know, sometimes it does for a CMOS stuff like that
But usually it's coming back and they're getting getting finished up at the shop anyways to a certain extent
But
Yeah, it's just really invested so you got to make sure they're gonna be around for the long haul with the with the build as well
So if there is, you know, once it's all painted that you have a few questions on the car as far as if you're troubleshooting stuff
Where to go so you're not taking the whole car back apart, you know, I don't know
There's always hypotheticals that you I mean should be keeping slightly in the back of your mind
Yeah
I
So he was saying because that car is like a 90
You really need to get your shop up and he's like I'll bring the GTR down you paint your whole paint the GTR and while you do that
Dude
Dude
Dude, that'd be cool to have like a tiny little tiny little Toyota like a fucking Celica or some shit and wedge one of those things in there
For real that'd be cool
Hell yeah, dude
Maybe so cool
It can't be that like overly heavy either, I mean five later it can't be like way crazy heavy, right?
So the weight shouldn't actually change on my truck much because I I have an iron block
Obviously the other one
Obviously there's more
We fucking change in springs again
So
I
Know
So yeah, I think
Save
Get everything enjoy the truck as is just work on fabric on my kid's truck
Just go hard phase to phase two will be like roll cage B12 engine cage
Radiator in the back probably a stupid roof scoop just to feed the radiator in the back just because
Why not it's a freaking supercar at that point stage two is no longer a truck
I think you go all out big cantilever four link in the back
In the next thing, you know, I'll be in the
Yeah, that'd be sick I feel like a v12 tundra pre-runner
All set up if I get everything to perform well, I'm pretty sure I could just like get anybody to let me
You
Have to make sure that to me
I think you'd have to at least spend a bit of time making sure the intake and everything looks sweet, you know
I'm making making sure but V12 looks cool and V12 V, you know and not just like a
Big weird plenum on top. Yeah, so my plan would be get the motor and then I would build a set of probably equal length
Stainless headers tune them make them as rotary fire for each bank as I can
It's crazy
So you want
Then when you're doing all that that equalizes pulses and then you cross them over
One bank to the other as soon as possible
J pipes or they make these weird chambers
It's kind of like a music in musical instrument tuning, you know, like the horns and stuff like that, you know
They all make a certain amount of bends. They've got a certain diameter and all that changes the pitch
Certain thickness of material
So it's nice
This Mustang was just to get it to a point a to point B situation
I mean, it's gonna sound like what it sounds like this exhaust is only like five feet long on each side anyway, so I mean
Loud is loud
So have you ever seen
Or heard, you know, like a Subaru's got the Subaru boxer engine
Yeah, they sound like poop
No, I mean maybe
Stupid
It sounds terrible
It's a signature sound
Yeah, it's signature sounds like shit
Don't get me wrong I really like Subaru's they're they're a great car
They have a good resale value the WRX's were always cool as a kid growing up
But that when you hear him go down the road, you're always like sums off to it like just make it sound better
No, no
Yeah, it's almost weird when you hear him with the eagle length because you're looking at the car and you're like, oh
So, you know the the hatchback weird years
Subaru that the WRX and the SCI were like a hatchback
Somebody put one of these Toyota v12's in one of those and twin turbo it
Well, that's pretty cool
It's one of the only things on
YouTube that was it a
That wasn't the golf. Oh, no, there was a golf GT. Yeah, was it a golf with a Audi v10 in the back
That was on like top here or something like that
That thing is fucking crazy
This was like a one-off
I
Maybe that was maybe that's what it was. I don't know. It was like it was a big motor in the back of a golf
That's all in them. I think that's the W 12
Did I ever tell you what the Metro that we did in high school? I think I did maybe
So the we had a shop class which was actually really really cool
They let us pretty much do there was one class and like your senior class
senior shop class you could do
You basically everybody voted and you got to do a project and you built whatever the shop or the class came up with
So the class before us did
It was a Bronco 2 and they made all-wheel drive or all-wheel steer
So they put a front axle in the back and they made everything function
and it wasn't like a take it down the road situation, but it was a
You know we can you can cut up a car and you can change it and make it work and function stuff like that
So our idea was to take a metro and put
38
GM front-wheel-drive v6 automatic
Set up and put it in the back of a metro and we did it. It was bad ass
When it ran
Like for the electronics
We just we had this metal box that we made and we just like put it all in there and ran out the wires
We need it
We're pretty sure shit was arcing out inside of it. It wasn't ever like this is the way it's gonna go down a road because we didn't even have I
Don't think we actually had struts in the back. I think we just like bolted in some
Like being steel or some shit like that, you know, it wasn't take it down the road, but it would do a hell of a burnout
That always interests me because like you can build
You can build something fast. That's like that's like how I look at a lot of the you build stuff like
You can slap an engine up front the engine from the front of a civic and just put the whole subframe in the back of the civic
And you know a couple days if you're just willing to take a grinder or
Whatever
I
Mean we learned a lot in that class as far as like we made
Flares around the back wheels because you know the wheels stuck out in the back
So we kind of essentially wide-bodied a
Geometro in the back. So we did you know, we body worked it all in
You know, we made I made some sheet metal that would cover the flares and or that would cover the wheel openings that basically essentially made flares
On the back of this metro and body worked them all in so it was all part of the class
It's like so you're learning a lot of different aspects. There's people welding
There's people doing bodywork is people priming and painting. So that's pretty cool
When you're selling customers on your sheet metal work, you're like this all started with
No, it was definitely no, I mean
the gang we kind of hang or that the crew we kind of we were hanging around with
Everybody was in the cars. I mean, we were doing demo derbies
Stuff pretty young too or not not necessarily demo derbies like a couple guys were like the even destruction, you know stuff like that
so, I mean, we're
Not a stranger to it. It was just that was the the
Us being able to cut a car part that far, you know, we've never really done that, you know, you're smashing them up and
Changing some stuff, but we weren't like engine swapping stuff in high school or anything until
I think I think I was I had the engine out of my Camaro and rebuilt
Yeah, no way
Yeah
I almost bought a project
S10 I wish I would have bought it
My parents kind of talked me out of it because it was a project and it wasn't exactly done
but it was a
It had to be like a 90
Like if the 90 body style like the for that gen S10 the regular cab short bed
but it was on air ride was
traditionally I
Guess you call channel body dropped whatever
Man had suicide doors. It was the guy wanted three grand
Like it was fucking awesome for three grand
So that kind of that was a truck that kind of wet me or the vehicle that kind of pushed me down the custom
Really custom vehicle route as far as like cutting things up and mini truck and all that kind of junk
So then I ended up buying a an S10 and doing it all to on a truck
Anyways and spending way more money doing it. So I should have just bought that damn truck
Because it was it ran a drill of the guy drove it from Appleton to Central Wisconsin to to sell it for three grand because he needed money
True but a year, I mean there's that truck is still out there
I mean, I would equate that to like an $8,000 truck now and there's $8,000 here right trucks out there all day long
So
My parents were like so you're gonna buy this project car and you're gonna you're gonna be putting all your money into it
So I don't know if you want to do that and they even had me talking to other people that had project cars like
Make sure you go talk to him about their project car and telling how much it sucks about putting all your money into the car
And look what that shit turned into
Look where we are
The total like the opposite direction of that we're gonna put I want to base my whole life around this thanks a lot parents
Can't tell me what to do every day
It's good stuff
Get some argon and keep welding some stuff in on the 66, that's my plan
I
Want to keep I got that quarter panel that I want to finish up and I just want to keep working around the backside get the
There's another small hole up to well up on the rear valance
And get the rear valance after I get the quarter panels welded and get the rear valance fit a little louder
but
everything's
Shaping up pretty decent and just trying to get everything that I fabricated a long time ago welded in so
Don't know if it's getting the vision down, you know a complete vision down all the way around the car making sure things are
the same side same same size
side to side and then actually installing it as a whole another thing so
It's not just a quarter bottoms
It's the in it's the drop-off in the quarter you got a drop down to so everything so the quarter panel seals off so it's I
Mean it's a some of it's easier just to cut cut the panel and make a new flat panel that goes in in its place
You know easy as that, but it's still some it sells time
Easy as that so I'll just metal right
I think to me the first side you're always
Your I have a lot more anxiety going through it because you're trying to figure it out a little more of the second side seemingly
It either goes two ways it goes really really smooth and a lot faster
Or it just kicks your ass completely a lot more and then you'll get to learn a lot more about yourself
So I'm hoping I don't have to learn a lot more about myself on this other scoop
I'm gonna drive around faster side
But
It's getting that torch in that in that scoop in inside because it's the inside edge that I had to weld together
So it was a pretty challenging and it was the first time ever actually
Successfully take welded with my left hand and my torch in my left hand so that was interesting
First time
I'm just touching the metal man
I mean I got a I want to buy that wireless pedal, but when I was learning TIG welding I seen a couple metal shapers
kind of
They weren't necessarily trashing on people using a pedal
But they're like do you really you really need it in every instance and I was like when I was learning it
I didn't want to yeah, I know believe me. I took everything with a grain of salt
But when I was learning how I didn't really have anybody sitting alongside of me
It's telling me like do this and do that do that. Well
Being you'd be a mig welder forever, you know, I'm just like one hand point shoot TIG welding. I'm using two hands and
Trying to my thought process on trying to involve a pedal as well was like I'm not really like it
We can't drum like I can you can play drums a little bit, but not like really well
And this is like that's too much for me. I think I could do it now, but
I'm so used to not having a pedal. I don't think introducing it wouldn't make things easier for me
Hit it man
Yeah, I'm just I'm just pulling distance for heat so I can pull away stab some filler in there and keep going man
I'm a
He came over into the shop, and I had a mig weld a little bit because he's never welded anything
I had a mig weld in some garbage
Take welding some aluminum, so I just got a bunch of scraps, you know, like our little drops
He the first day he was over there was like two hours and by the end of it on
You know flat stock aluminum quarter-inch. He was laying nice nice welds
Hey, he's doing really good his welds look better than the line welding welding tests we've had
Yeah, the difference is
When he's welding I'm in his I'm literally over his shoulder going slower. Don't move
Okay
More in there closer with the top with the tip. Okay, you got too much angle on it. Like I said, I'm literally coaching him through it
So like
Yes, he absolutely laid a nice bead
We've got him able to do it on his own without being coached
Everything takes reps to be
Process it gets a lot faster when you have somebody like you like literally like distance
Speed getting all that stuff down that was super hard for me because it it would be so frustrating
Couldn't get anything figured out and I just stepped away from it for a couple days
Pick it up again and things, you know, it's almost to me
It was like I quit it took like playing guitar and learning songs on guitars
You'd frustrated with it set it down pick it back up learns and you know, it it's almost like some of it retained
And you don't you don't even realize it
Yeah, a lot of times when I play guitar my fingers remember more than my head does
Well, yeah
Or you're like you fuck it up because you like think you put a couple songs together and your fingers are thinking one thing and your
brain's thinking about it or whatever. Yeah
Happens to me all the time mixing songs up. That's been a while though. I've had played a guitar in a while
I should need to you still like have a break time up there and
Jam out and stuff and now it's I just want to sit and
Like silence for a little while
It is I kind of let the guy on his own now with the welds
It just keeps adding more scraps onto the same piece
Since I
Can just look at a bead and be like, okay here you are too close here you too far here
You didn't move fast enough here. You weren't dipping enough the metal got too hot here
You needed to let it stop you need to stop and let it cool down
Okay, you need to put more heat on this piece
Most of the time like if a friend's welding on something he can send me a picture of it now and I could be like
Oh
Yeah, this is what you're doing wrong like you have too much angle on the torch your your filler rods melting before it even gets to
Oh, yeah, sure
Yeah, I'm definitely I'm definitely not dialed in that far
That's for sure
I can get the sheet metal to stick to one another and have good penetration and be able to hammer it out
And that's kind of what it's all about here
But you know efficiency at being being able to not have throw a bunch of filler out in it and then grinding it all back out
That's just being efficient that way is giving better at that
You still need some filler rod to be able to get that
You're not you're never gonna fuse the two panels together and they're not be avoid to some extent
Yeah
Yeah
We have some powder coated products, but we still don't grind our weld
Yeah, yeah, that's completely different I mean I try and try and do is minimal starting stops as I can just for
Shrinking reasons just to keep the shrink as even as possible
But yeah, definitely different angles of this of of TIG welding for sure
It's okay. It kind of just forced me into having to be a better welder
I mean every time I pick it up it's seeming I I can actually pick it up and I'm not all tense
So I can actually like I feel like I'm better at it now because I'm not like
Yeah, yeah, it is sometimes it's hard to
for me
Because because I'm if everything is so really small and tiny that you know the welds are pretty pretty small
When you're just but welding sheet metal
Sometimes it's seeing
the line of if your panels are like
Tack tack together and really really tight and all you see is this really really tiny line that you're supposed to weld up
It's hard to see sometimes I
Have the side of the metal I
Mean sometimes it's you want you know like accidentally walk off a little bit because you're like
It's a man it like there was just like a something in the metal that you saw and he just like caught your eye and you went that way
But yeah, it happens I
Mean so sometimes I try not to clean the metal up too much so I can tell the difference between
You know it's flat, but it's not like clean like clean enough to weld
But not like a sanded finish all the way across so you your eye loses it
But that's just a struggle for me
Yeah
I never had that where I wanted to be a welder so I'm just like is this like a new appeal that people want to be a welder
Is there like something worrying about it? I
Want to do something and not be
Somebody at target, you know, I don't
I think there's people that want to work their hands because if there's a
As a generation of people that if they don't start working with their hands, they're not going to be like I mean
To a certain extent but what's they're gonna take over jobs. I don't care what people think it's just gonna happen
Oh
First I mean, yeah, I I understand that for sure, but to a certain extent if somebody could
invest
Let's see even a half million dollars in into a robot that can weld do your job
It'll pay off
You know, even if it's very specific welding I seen a robot
It was it was in China, but there's a robot that painted the side of a car
I think we took what that once
But it was I mean, it's not totally out of the realm that robots paint the cars right off the rat to begin with
So why can't it refinish one? It can it's just gonna be very difficult
Yeah, I think I can see a world where robots are gonna be doing a lot of crazy shit a lot of crazy
They're already out there people already have them in their homes. I think there's you there's guys on YouTube
I have fucking robots in their homes trying to cook eggs and shit
That's crazy. Yeah, see it's starting to ready
Buckers are gonna be changing the oil
They're gonna be doing all the stuff. We're gonna be mowing your yard. They're already mowing yards and stuff
I seen a video of a guy. It was like somebody in an apartment building and there's a guy
But video down and there's like two yards in a in a road across there's one guy standing on his
Stand-up lawnmower and across the road. There's a robot one and he's just like
fuck
Like yeah robots gonna take but he's fucking job. It's a certain extent not everybody's I guess like I said
It's me a while for a lot of these industries even my landlord is he's a contractor
He's like, I don't really see anything taking over my job. I got a fixed old houses and like well, you're not wrong, but
It's a robot shit's fucking crazy man. I'm not like a whole like I think it's gonna be awesome. It's pretty nuts
They're just gonna be 3d printing houses anyways
Yeah
Here to kind of admit it to that. I mean, I think a
Shipping container house would be pretty rad
Do you think
I think if you did like two on the bottom and then had one like like crossways at the top
So you had like a deck and then like one it'd be like cantilevered over, you know, but they'd be kind of rad
It would be cool
For a weekend house. I just can't picture stuff and your wife in a shipping container house
Not like dreams
Everybody's got shipping containers down here my buddy's got two of them in his yard right now
Yeah, but I mean actually make it look cool though and not make it look like a shipping container, you know
Yeah, I just think the the idea of building it out of steel like uh
Houses are just built like shit
They are like if you have a you an old house, it's probably junk underneath everything and it's just
You know bogered together with stuff from minards
I have the luxury of my house's concrete blocks
It's pretty good
That's the old yeah, that's pretty rad
Well, you're uh, good for hurricane right you already went through a hurricane there, right?
Yeah, we've had a few
Not that the house is imprenetrable impenetrable to damage, but
The concrete helps a lot. Oh, yeah
It's a different process
So you have you said your town isn't very large. What's the closest biggest town to you?
so
I was gonna tell you this when we were talking yesterday
Oh
So the closest town to me is seabring and that's the seabring. That's the 12 hours of seabring
Sure
Yeah, the racetrack's like half an hour from the house
Oh, cool. That's really cool. So there's
It's regular if I have to head into seabring for
You know some sort of weekend shopping
If we're heading up there on a saturday morning, you'll see like
Porsches everywhere with you know numbers on them in the windows and stuff because they're you know, just
Going to the track
For
There you go
Well, that's pretty big size down obviously then I've never even been there. We're talking about towns, you know
I was I was gonna get to how like are there like a lot of there must be a lot of car events pretty close to you then
Seabring does a lot
Sure
The circle or whatever downtown seabring, they'll have on the big roundabout they'll have a bunch of like race cars
Straight up Le Mans cars parked in the middle of the town
It's cool
There's a old like
Stainless 50s diner. That's right off the highway. That's on the way to the racetrack and so sometimes there'll be a bunch of
Sure
Definitely
I think if a guy wanted to get into an automotive business and you could tap into some of that
Well, I think Porsche people could keep a guy busy forever, I think
Being in front of the people that want it you got to be in front of them to a certain extent
My friend
Right now on road
For me, I'm like centrally located so I figure if I could
Get some work out there
And I could tap into both coasts because I'm an hour and a half from each coast
It's not that far away to have your car work done
I imagine you work on those people that are at least an hour and a half away
Oh, yeah, almost all of them are at least 45 minutes to an hour and a half away
Yeah, for sure
Yeah
I think the closer you get to Miami the the more insurance you're you you'd be paying I would suspect
Things leave from there, don't they
A lot of stuff ends up in containers on ships from Miami
I
There's a guy in Stratford
that had
A car built in Eau Claire at muscle car restoration
It was like a charger with a roll cage in it. It was freaking crazy
The guy was in a wheelchair
But they made it for this guy in a wheelchair and it was fucking nice
I saw it in person and then I didn't unknowingly knew uh, the the guy's dad had
House in Stratford
This is I worked like lived and worked in Eau Claire when I saw the car and then
Undoingly it was in my hometown of Stratford being stored somebody stole it out of the guy's garage in Stratford
And no we ever found that car again
Yeah, it's gone gone
yeah
It was just built
So it was definitely somebody
Watching I don't know how that stuff works, but yeah, that's it's pretty crazy. That's what we got cameras everywhere and shit
I get alerts on my phone when it snows which it did last night
Get alerts on my phone when it snows now cool
Yeah, there's snow still still on the ground
I'm telling you I will take three months of blistering heat over six plus months of breathing
You have my brain just cranking yesterday and I had to stop thinking about it for a while
When I first moved here, uh, we moved in December and it was the first week we were here
We're driving on the road in like a
50s
New Year's
This doesn't make any sense
Regularly like generally, uh, like driving around up here. There's old cars in the summertime. Is it like that all year around there then?
Yes, um, there is some of the
When there's the snowbird, you know, there's obviously people that that
Winter here
Let's say half of the population of my town is snowbirds
so
Like uh, they're not there year round
But they kind of fill the winter up where and then during the summer obviously
All the local people that have stuff have their driving their stuff around
Most things get built here where they're conditioning whereas that's not as big as a thing
for project cars, but uh
There's there's definitely cars to be seen all year around here
just getting to it like I see a
It's got to be a late 40s Packard early 50s Packard. I see it just driving around the neighborhood
anytime. There's a Model A's we saw a
Factory original Model T driving or like right past our block a little bit ago
So it's just pretty cool. We're making these wheels and
Yeah, there's definitely more
Yeah, I'm you you get used to seeing stuff all year round
Interesting
I was at when I went down to Virginia Beach briefly briefly a couple
summers ago and
we're sitting the first night we're sitting at a bar
and
There's seemingly some people there that
They seem to have like a lot of money
I was like, well, there's got to be some rich guys with some, you know, nice cars and I started bullshitting with some people
Like are they like car get-togethers or any like anything because it was a weekend. It was in the middle of summer
No, nothing nothing like cars around here
But driving around I didn't see the whole time I was there. I didn't see one old car the whole time
Those weird is really weird really weird, but I mean it is a big military town so I can see
People not having an old car, but you man. It was still weird like a beach town and there's not an old car in sight. It's crazy
Uh
Yeah, we see
Like I'm thinking beach vibes like at the farmers market in town. You'll you'll go there and almost every week
One of the guys that his wife has a booth. They drive the
Bettina looking bw bus there every week to haul all their farmers market stuff
There's times we're just like running into town in our little town to go get
Dinner
For something and the one day we were driving into town and there was
At least a dozen Shelby cobras just all pulling in and aligned because there's a few
I don't want to give up too much of where I live, but there's a few cool picturesque places the park
And so people like sure came probably came from seabream. They drove down to my town just to take pictures
Sure
Yes, it's pretty cool to just be like drive it and then there goes a dozen Shelby cobras big blocks
I know it out. Hell yeah
Shit, that doesn't happen around here at all. Usually when you hear something loud going down the road
It's a big jacked up truck with the dumbest rims and tires you've ever seen in your life
Oh, you got no, I I cannot imagine that
Marshfield has anything on florida boys with their trucks
It's terrible dude. Yee yee
Squatted trucks, what's with that?
No, I mean
I think actually squat some of these squatted trucks look better than the junk that's driving around in this town
Like some of that stuff down there by you guys is actually has a little bit of flavor
The shit around here is just like junk. I mean some of the trucks are really nice
But they'll put the dumbest rims and tires on I just
I don't understand it. It's not my flavor
Not my flavor at all here you get the uh, they call them leveling kits. That's how they
They're lying but they call them a leveling kit, but they'll lift the front. They'll put a half a lift kit in it
They'll put a really nice set of wheels on
Low-pro tires sometimes they do low-pro mud tires on like chrome 24s, which I find hilarious
That's what I don't get. I mean, that's not my flavor
I don't understand it because you're never like I get the aesthetic of
Having a car or a vehicle that you're not essentially essentially going to use it what it's built for but I mean
I just don't like
It's just uh, sue me
It's just that I'm showing out and I'm doing what
It's just it's just a rebellion. That's all squatted trucks. It's a rebellion. I don't care what anybody says
You're just trying to show out say i'm the bad boy. I got the nice wheels and I don't give a crap
Yeah, what are you gonna do fucking cars?

Original notes
Japan built a V12 so wild it almost doesn’t seem real… and today we’re diving straight into why Ethan needs it in his life. We break down the legendary 1GZ-FE, why it’s such an insane swap candidate, and what makes a Japanese V12 so different from anything else on the road.
But that’s not all—Quintin has a brand-new project in the shop: a 1967 Mustang coupe that’s about to get the F_cking Cars treatment. We get into the game plan, what it needs, and why it has huge potential.
Plus:
• A brutally honest discussion on squatted trucks
• Shop chaos and updates
• Random car guy tangents (as always)
Catch the full video episode on Terra-SharkTV, the usual version on the F_cking Cars YouTube channel, and listen anywhere you get podcasts.
