@@bencarlson3670 And so many of these channels are putting out 1hr videos semi-regularly now - I mean, I'm not complaining, but I also don't know how the hell I'm going to keep up😂
A tip about solid state relays, they give off about 10% of the power they carry as heat. The greatest thing ever is a hybrid relay. The use the SS for switching and a mechanical relay to carry current. You avoid the spark on the contacts and heat of the SS.
Mike you really need to crimp ferrules on the end of all the wires going into those solid state relay blocks. They're cheap and prevent the screw blocks from damaging the bare strands of wire. If Holley wasn't dumb and would make their CAN protocol public or if you used a regular ECU I'd say to just get a Power Distribution Module and CAN switch panel. Only need 4 wires to the panel with up to 12 buttons and different colors for each button. And with a pdm you can set the "fuse" amperage for each circuit and set logic to them so certain things would be shut off or turned on with ECU conditions or sensor readings.
As a sheet metal guy that has sprung more snips than I would count, I wholeheartedly approve. He's cutting sheet metal in situ, the bane of the HVAC industry. So long as there's no stainless steel within 200 ft or so, he is doing just fine.
You and newbern stopped in front of my house in 19 on the way to atco at like 2am . I woke up thinking wth is that noise . By the time I realized y’all were leaving . I’m still mad I didn’t run out to say hi . Was awesome seeing all them hot rods running around the street .
Since you've got the Wire Care hookup, consider using ferrules in your terminal blocks for stranded wire. Adds strain relief, less resistance and no chance of a strand going somewhere it shouldn't.
@@rickfazzini22 Tinning is worse than nothing at all. You're solidifying the connection but irregularly, which means more resistance than letting the strands shift and shape to the terminal when it's being tightened. Also, the solder will actually flow and change over time and the connection will weaken if you're not tightening your terminals.
Hard to believe it's been a week since this started! Glad to have met you & Tony at National Trail! This was my second Drag Week! It's like the automotive Twilight Zone!! AWESOME!!! 👍👍👍
I love the 55 with the Hemi and the manual Trans. What a great Drag and Drive race car. Two Lane Blacktop, but even better. Racing Blasphemi on a track has got to be a wonderful experience, but driving her on the street has got to be the Greatest feeling in the world. Mike Finnegan you are living the dream. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.
28:05 a good tip is to bend the wire back and forth while tightening it in the terminal. This allows the round wire to flatten out and fill the cavity more evenly preventing a loose connection over time due to vibration. 🍻
I don't want to even look at any of the comments I don't wanna know what happened yet, can't wait for the movie, been waiting for you's 2 reunite on a episode again hopefully, there will be more to come. Maybe even a roadkill special
There's a lot of work that went into drag week its self, but there was also a lot of work that went into editing this video just for us to watch. Excellent work Mike and Tony and nice to see you at Harrells just down the Rd from me on Wilkerson
Ah, the tin-snip shuffle. None of them ever fit just right, do they? Holy deja vu, man! Square Force One and all the rest! Thanks, Fin and Joe! Take a well-deserved rest, all y'all! ✌🏻❤️🙂🇨🇦
I have those same hydraulic crimpers and when you find a dye that's close enough I usually put the fixed handle in the vise lightly so it doesn't want to rotate while you're crimping. Thanks for your videos as always! 🙏
Well done guys, I like the changes to the car from the lettering on the side to the new independent front end, wiring and I am sure other stuff wee didn't get to see. Again great work.
I remember watching this at the time, followed the hole week, been a while since seeing the box truck to, i had forgotten all about it. Can't wait till the video of this year comes out, been keen to watch you race again.
I’ve got a aux beam switch panel with solid state relays. Super nice and you may like it to. It’s ment for off-road so it’s all extremely robust. They have 6,8,12 button options and options for phone use
I talked with Keith about this problem and there's a rough badass round shielded over head feed cable that I'm ordering. It's a cable that plugs in to your equipment and it like $30.. .This company is the best path to your switching dreams .I promise you!!
That's sweet! I love wiring too. You should make a sticker of the wiring schematic and stick it to the bottom of the seat like OE fuse boxes do with their fuse/relay maps
I wired high end control systems. Instead of putting stripped wires into a clamp terminal I first put a ferrule on the wire..More support for the wire and prevents stray strands bridging terminals.
I’ve been keenly watching you, Dave F and crew since the Roadkill Rotsun days. Love the vids, I’ve got to say that I preferred the “old gold” paint and Blashemi decals, much richer colour. Cheers from Western Australia.
Glad to finally see the rest of 2019. I had forgotten that was the year Tony benched the transmission back in. Epic! Too bad the wheelie of doom took you out this year. But there is always next year.
Can I just point out that a GF5R is less than 150 lbs? Not really sure what the big deal is. Any guy who can lift a bit, should be able to bench, 225 lbs or more.
You need a rear window with louvers or window with holes cut in it. Or break down and put some sliding windows in those drivers and passenger side doors like the 55 and Tulane blacktop
Love your channel. I'm more into experimental aviation, speaking of wiring there is a similar product on the market for your issues, the VPX pro uses software to provide circuit protection for a small aircraft, bypassing old school mechanical relays and circuit breakers. MSD seems to be going the same way with solid state circuit control.
When you were at the Loves you were next to my Shop in Providence forge Virginia. I thought it was absolutely crazy they brought y’all down that road which is rt 606 to rt 106. That road is tight big rigs have a hard time passing each other without smacking mirrors
Hey Finnegan, i had a thought when you were trying to modify your circuit board box Couldnt you still have the box sealed up wit the front and back walls, but design a trundle drawer so the board slides in and out the side out the door? Then you could just leave the seat in place and not have to lift it. Just slide the drawer out to work on the electronics?
Love the shows, as wells as RK and HRG. I just bought a 47 ford, and I am having a T-5 installed behind the flatty. The car is in Vancouver BC Canada at Lee Grants Shop and I need to get it to the DFW area in Texas. You and F' burger want to road trip it ??? I'm 77 years old and had the first round of Covid-19, so age and lingering Long Covid prevents me from the long drive.
A bonus episode with NEWBERN!!!!!!! Man I miss that guy on your show
Join the club 😊
I just watch his channel a lot of good stuff there !!
Yea I try to watch his channel too.....I got too much to watch and not enough time to watch it lol
Me too. But not Cotten. I don't like his bug-eyed expressions. Newbern has charisma and personality.
@@bencarlson3670 And so many of these channels are putting out 1hr videos semi-regularly now - I mean, I'm not complaining, but I also don't know how the hell I'm going to keep up😂
Only part of that car that is 69 years old is the VIN plate 😂
Got um on that lol
Roof, b and c pillars are still original. But yes, they're aint much left that is 😂
Damn. Beat me to it. Lol
Living up to its name. BlaspHemi
@@Beaten4.8that’s like saying you bought a brand new Jeep and put a 69 year old top on it and registers it as 69 years old lol.

As an HVAC guy, your usage of tin snips makes me cry a little. Was good to see you guys run this year.
The yellow handle Wiss snips are the least useful. Red and Green should be the snips of choice
As a sheet metal guy that has sprung more snips than I would count, I wholeheartedly approve. He's cutting sheet metal in situ, the bane of the HVAC industry. So long as there's no stainless steel within 200 ft or so, he is doing just fine.
I was thinking the same thing gotta know your left from your right!
@@philbert006lol you’re comment is better than what I had tee’d up
@@philbert006 - What is in situ?
The end with the Movie Teaser was awesome. Can't wait to see it. Best of luck. Take Care!!!
You and newbern stopped in front of my house in 19 on the way to atco at like 2am . I woke up thinking wth is that noise . By the time I realized y’all were leaving . I’m still mad I didn’t run out to say hi . Was awesome seeing all them hot rods running around the street .
You are the Man Finnegan! Thanks for improving the quality of life for us all! This made my day Boss!
Since you've got the Wire Care hookup, consider using ferrules in your terminal blocks for stranded wire. Adds strain relief, less resistance and no chance of a strand going somewhere it shouldn't.
Great idea, I’d never considered this before.
Agreed and use the tool for them
I’ve always just tinned the ends of the wire before inserting in to the terminal block, but your idea sounds even better!
Sweet idea.

Loved this video Finnegan! Can't wait for the movie!
Just loving it. Can't wait for the new movie. Such cool dudes having fun.
Congrats All 🏆
Mike, #1 Tool drawers face forward = Wet
#2 Yes , Everyone hates wiring.
#3 I ❤ that 55.

Yess!! 👍
I'll be watching this after the Singapore Grand Prix.
Surreal to see this perspective and the Roadkill episode, awesome!
I like that you have a history or maintenance repair book. It's a first in any video I've seen in any car buy, build, use, TH-cam video.
I don't want to even look at any of the comments I don't wanna know what happened yet, can't wait for the movie, been waiting for you's 2 reunite on a episode again hopefully, there will be more to come. Maybe even a roadkill special

I could watch that over and over 2019 drag week never gets old. However I haven't watched anything on 2024 waiting on your version. Good luck!!
Awesome video! That teaser was epic, can't wait to see the movie.
Ah, the tin-snip shuffle. None of them ever fit just right, do they?
Holy deja vu, man! Square Force One and all the rest! Thanks, Fin and Joe! Take a well-deserved rest, all y'all! ✌🏻❤️🙂🇨🇦
Thank you for posting all the great videos on your TH-cam channel. Maybe squeeze a few episodes of opening fan mail when drag racing slows down
Way to go brother you guys did a hell of a job and as always Blasphemy is definitely my favorite car this year at drag week
I Like a lot the end of this episode with slow motion and kind of Top gun feeling, even Blasphemi acted well trying to take off the track...!
the joy of Angelo at the end. yes
Wow , that was quite a video. I can't wait for the movie. Many , many thanks.
Totally forgot how much i loved Square Force 1!!!!!!!!!
I have those same hydraulic crimpers and when you find a dye that's close enough I usually put the fixed handle in the vise lightly so it doesn't want to rotate while you're crimping. Thanks for your videos as always! 🙏
Square Force One is always a lovely sight to see
Your fabrication skills are really getting good! Nice fuel cell !
Congrats guys! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Ohh, looking forward to the upcoming movie!
Congratulations...what a labor of love to build that car and keep it at this competitive level.
Well done guys, I like the changes to the car from the lettering on the side to the new independent front end, wiring and I am sure other stuff wee didn't get to see. Again great work.
i originally watched this on RKG and i could truly feel that emotion and relief,my favorite episode!
Blasphemi has never been on Roadkill Garage.
how am i watching rn?
Congratulations you finally got it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉I knew you would 55 is badass❤❤❤❤
Cab wait for the movie looks sick!
All these guys are great but Tony Angelo is the man!
I remember watching this at the time, followed the hole week, been a while since seeing the box truck to, i had forgotten all about it. Can't wait till the video of this year comes out, been keen to watch you race again.
Very Cool!!. Thanks for the backstory from 2019.
Bailey has some good 2024 Blasphemi footage as well Mike.
I’ve got a aux beam switch panel with solid state relays. Super nice and you may like it to. It’s ment for off-road so it’s all extremely robust. They have 6,8,12 button options and options for phone use
Awesome, can't wait for the latest drag week episodes
Shoutout to John for coming in clutch with those midnight donuts!

Rooted for you all week. Was there Sunday Monday and Tuesday. That first wheelie was awesome to see if person
That's sweet! I love wiring too. You should make a sticker of the wiring schematic and stick it to the bottom of the seat like OE fuse boxes do with their fuse/relay maps
Love the Von Zipper shades!
I LOVE the car's "bible"!! That's something I do.
1 hell of a team fenn. Congrats to all of you.
Great to see Dave back .. I love his content but Fin and Newburn have great chemistry
I wired high end control systems. Instead of putting stripped wires into a clamp terminal I first put a ferrule on the wire..More support for the wire and prevents stray strands bridging terminals.

Great show FINNEGAN'S GARAGE
Morning Finn, morning all.....👍👊
Good morning champ!
Seen you guys a Milan, you worked on the car all day long.
Great effort.
It’s so good to see Dave Matthews little brother back in the shop.
Awesome hydraulic hose crimper tool.
Newbern man we have missed you on the channel we love Joe too
You need a rear window with louvers or window with holes cut in it. Or break down and put some sliding windows in those drivers and passenger side doors like the 55 and Tulane blacktop
Need the name for the song after ejecting the cassette! 37:39

Ok so I just noticed the most important thing to have in a car like " Blasphemi"
CUP HOLDERS!
Well done Mike!!!!
It's the Harry Nice Bridge over the Potomac River that you were crossing at sunrise near MIR. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge is quite a ways away.
Donut guy hooked you up!!!
Looks like a totally different car going down the track, and it looks fast. It's definitely faster than the trunk lid.
Wow , what an engine !!!! You can keep your 572 Chevy, I’ll stick with a Hemi 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ahahaha john the donut guy is awesome. What a great moment.
i hope jhone still has a JOB!! love ROAD KILL!!!🤣🤣😂😂
I met you guys at At o in 2019, you looked exhausted by then, for you guys to finish and win was epic
I found out that the 2024 Drag Week was on Live feed. And I watched it for 4 or 5 Hours. And that's how I found out that you were out Mike Finnegan.
Outstanding Video!!!!
Miss Newborn in the FSM garage!
You should look into ferrules to terminate the end of the wires going into your relay
you guys are legends
My original Speed Parts Killer and new Party Pulley Army shirts helped me feel like I participated in a small way. Thanks, Mike and Crew! 🤟🎸🍻🥃🍺🍹🧑🌾🇺🇲
Awesome wheellies love your hot rod 🚗
So glad I got the shirt. You're bad financial decisions are way more entertaining than mine 😅

Soooo miss those guys on ur channel
Tip for pressure testing/ leak check, use windex.
I love this. Dudes Rock!!
I like watching wiring videos they always give me more ideas😂
You guys make a Helluva team
Wednesday night I saw Blasphemi on I-94 heading out from US-131, it made my WEEK.
I remember that race between you and chase. That’s when I became a finnegan fan.
