The Grey Bird himself, Congo!
What’s up guys! So since there’s no car projects currently underway, here’s a video I made last year of The Grey Bird himself, Congo. (For those of you who don’t know, Congo is my 14 year old African Grey parrot and the inspiration for the Grey Bird Garage and Bad Bird Jeep names.) In this clip, I set up the camera and just let him talk.

Throwback to 2004: Forgotten footage of my ‘92 Mustang (please excuse poor video quality)
มุมมอง 78ปีที่แล้ว
What’s up guys! I was going through my desk the other day when I found an old USB thumb drive from the early 2000’s. There were lots of pictures and video of my old 1992 Mustang. (I believe that was Mustang #3 for me.) The car started out as a GT with an AOD. These videos date back to 2004 when I had just completed the LX bumper swap, a 5 speed swap, 3.73 gears, headers, h-pipe and Flowmaster e...
I finally found an overdrive trans for the Corvette!
มุมมอง 298ปีที่แล้ว
What’s up guys! It’s been a minute since my last video but life, work and winter been kicking my butt lately. So I’ve been on the hunt for an overdrive transmission for the Corvette. It’s been a couple of months of searching and finally, I happened upon one on Facebook Marketplace. Well, a couple of text messages and a trip out to Pennsylvania coal country (right by Centralia…Iykyk.) here we ar...
It’s that time of year again👎🏻. Cold weather parking for the Mustang and Corvette.
มุมมอง 1132 ปีที่แล้ว
What’s up guys! So unfortunately it’s that time of year again. Car season is over so we’re getting everything ready for winter parking. The Mustang and Corvette will be safely tucked away in the Grey Bird Garage awaiting next season while plans for additional mods and projects are underway. Fingers crossed for a short and uneventful winter. There’s a million different ways to store a vehicle fo...
Cold Case Radiator install on Shady Lady. Time lapse video
มุมมอง 4352 ปีที่แล้ว
What’s up guys! So my wife’s 2014 Jeep JKU Shady Lady has been leaking coolant for some time now. Between work and life, I’m finally able to find some time to fix it. We got a nice aluminum upgrade from Cold Case and it looks absolutely gorgeous! Install wasn’t that bad either. Enjoy!

More power for the 76 Corvette Episode 2: Double the horsepower, double the fun!
มุมมอง 12K2 ปีที่แล้ว
What’s up guys! The mods are all done and we got the corvette back. Mike Curcio and the guys at MCRP did a great job! If you remember the first video, the engine made 255 hp in stock form with an aftermarket intake and carb. Well, with the head and cam swap, the engine now makes 401hp at the flywheel! That’s more than double the factory rating of 180hp! Needless to say I’m extremely happy with ...
Kicked out of my own garage!?! At least for a little while…
มุมมอง 4382 ปีที่แล้ว
Hey guys! So today I come home from work to find that my wife has kicked me out of the Grey Bird Garage! No, not like that… Amy came out to clean the Mustang for an upcoming show…and looked at the Corvette (which was pretty dirty)…then looked around and the next thing you know…the broom comes out. So I told her why not make a video for GBG? So here she is…
More power for the 76 Corvette Episode 1: Baseline of a smog era 350 (not too bad but not that good)
มุมมอง 3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
What’s up guys! So it’s time for the Corvette to make more power. I’m trusting the job to my good friend Mike Curcio, owner of MCRP (Mike Curcio Race Products) and his team in Easton, PA. He came up with a plan to make a bit more power while still keeping the drivability of the car intact. We’ll also be doing baseline and finished product engine dyno pulls to see firsthand results from these mo...
Update on Dan’s C3…IT’S ALIVE!!!!
มุมมอง 622 ปีที่แล้ว
Just a quick update on Dan’s C3. He sent this to me the other day. With a little bit of work (rebuilding the carb, fresh fuel, new battery, new plugs/wires/cap) the motor turned over and is running! Looking forward to doing more in-depth review if this car soon!

you left out quite a few steps dude...
I just got a 76 too. Same color but black inside and a 4 speed.
I told my husband mine sounded like a crowd at the Dallas Cowboys stadium and he was like huh?? But that’s exactly what it sounds like 😂😂

JKU is J.U.N.K spelled weird...cause it's a Jeep!
Very nice car! I just bought a 76 Vette myself. Wasn't what I was looking for, I was actually looking for a 76 Camaro but I git it for a good price, mine is Orange with Tan Interior, The only thing I don't like about it is the wheels, It has Factory steel wheels on it with the factory hub caps so I've order some Salt Flat Wheels American Racing Wheels and I'm gonna to put them on it when they get here, That's the only thing I don;t like about living here in Hawaii, the extra 2 weeks or so it takes to ship something from the mainland, I got mail in Iraq faster from home in Missouri then I do here in Hawaii, and no that's not just a funny haha, it's the truth, we were getting boxes from home in a week-10 days in Iraq, it takes 2 weeks minimum here.
that stock radio has bluetooth already
No follow up on the trans swap? I was really hoping to see how your swap went. Let’s see another video.
First video i've seen with stock rubi rails.. Thanks.
Thanks a Bunch for the video, doing that today.
Excuse me Do you have a list of everything you upgraded on the motor to increase the horsepower?
Did this Vette come with those side view mirrors? I had a 76 Stingray in the same color but it came with chrome mirrors.
how was the fitment? any issues?
What model is this… I have to do this my salf
Pretty good video with one MAJOR exception. You completely skipped showing how you remove the 6 tabs on the cowl cover to access the wiper assembly. Even with a plastic pry tool and and pliers, that was the most difficult and time consuming part of the whole process.
Wow gonna try it not really handy with tools
They are only sending me the motor. Is it easy to take the arm from the old motor to the new motor?
I just replaced the entire assembly. Most reviews I read said to replace the entire unit and not just the motor. Was $123 from Summit Racing.
USB is in the center console.
Do you do an inspection of the short block components to make sure the money on the top end will be worth it?
Did you remove the negative charge blot on the battery??!!
Very nice. Im original owner of a 1977. Ordered in late 76 delivered March 77. 80k miles on it today ..Recently evaluated as “showroom” by insurance. Youre gonna love this 76. So Much fun to drive. Mine is put in storage every fall for last 46 years. Remember the guy who said he used to have a classic Corvette and regretted selling it due to finance and family issues? Well Im the guy who kept his!! I would not sell mine for the world although Ive been approached and asked 100+ times. My ex wife wanted me to sell it for house down payment. Thats why shes my ex😊
"That's why she's my ex" I have a similar story only not with corvette, it was 76 Camaro, and it was my first car when I turned 16. I did end up selling the car 10 years after I got divorced but I didn't just sell it to anyone, I sold it to kid next door who pretty much grew up watching me wrench on it on weekends and I sold it to him because he loves the car just as much as I did, and he still has it 15 years later. He'll send me pictures of him and his kids with the car, I made a good choice for her.
A 76 was my first of three (so far). I love all of my vettes.
What a waste of time. The two most important parts were skipped. Actually removal of the wiper motor assembly and the install of the wiper motor assembly.
How much is paint the corvette 76?
Less music
Is motor cammed up or stock? Sounds great either way just curious
I did exactly every step. The windshield wiper barely wiped half way, then after that it doesn’t wanna work anymore. I hate how I follow steps the exact way but I end up getting the shitty results
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.😊
How did u take out the plastic piece?
Exactly! He completely skips that part. I cannot figure out how to pop those off.
How’s it working, without a bracket for the transmission cooler lines?
Any issues so far using the orange coolant? About to do mine and cold case is recommending green, and I'd rather not flush the whole system.
Good torque numbers on that stock run.
Do you guys do anything to the short block at all ? Or just change top end parts ?
350-400 at the wheel in one of these is all i need for the street
shocks!!
This sounds great! Did you install the exhaust system? Did it fit correctly or was there modifications needed at all? I've heard they do not always fit correctly.
What is the cost of all the parts alone without labor costs?
Invest in a microphone dude.
So cute!
Bro around how much for the engine upgrades?
I am curious to see the rpm difference with the new transmission compared to the 350 trans , should be much better on the highway !
A mustang with a corvette, isn't that interracial, just kidding, Beautiful cars.
💪💪💪
Weld it. clamps never seal ..got one. same set up. you have leeks. Do love my sound.
Volbeat FTW
I had that same grinding noise I changed the motor and it went away 2 months later the same thing happened what do you think is causing this problem
Your linkage my be bad fouling up the motor if you didn't change the whole thing out.
Sooo, what's the point of the snorkel if it retains the stock air intake funnel?
Any chance you have a version of the video without music? I think this tutorial looks very helpful, but I struggling to hear you.😨
Nice!!!!! I just bought mine a month ago!!! Working on it and getting ready for next summer!!!
Nice timing. My Wife's JKU just started making the same noise. Thanks for the video!
