  • Time to figure out what that pesky tapping/knocking noise is that took the wind out of my sails on first startup. Once that is sorted its time to fix a few leaks, and take this thing for its first drive since probably 2021 or 2022 when it blew up! Much more to come on this project and I'm already hard at work on the next video!

    Chris, something I really like about your channel is that you’re not afraid to show mistakes made or self-inflicted problems, like forgetting to install the spring when you were putting the suspension together. That happens to all of us who work on cars where we have to deconstruct a few hours of work and start over from time to time. It shows me that you and your channel are completely genuine and I appreciate that.

      @ChrisSullivan69 I definitely did. Some of the most fun I have had in a car was a 03 Cobra. It had Stiegemeier ported blower. That thing was fast as ####, and would scream so loud, haha! I would love to get to drive that fresh sonic blue, haha. She is pretty.
