    Here's the plan! We're going to fire up the engine IN the truck and take it to some car shows. Then, after we've put a few miles on the truck, we'll pull the engine and put it in the dyno cell for evaluation and fine-tuning. You'll meet our calibrators, Jeff and Aaron, who will tune and prepare it for mass production.

    It's a bit of a shame that so much of the final build process was lost in the crunch. We spent ages going over every detail in depth but in the end everything was thrown together in one episode. I guess this is an unfortunate side effect of strict deadlines.
    That being said I have thoroughly enjoyed your build series and I'm grateful to the team for all the effort they have put in to bring us along!

    Great result, guys. It is over 25 years since I last pulled silly hours to complete a building project OR got by with that minimal level of sleep during a military exercise and I fully respect that you did those hours whilst producing mechanical and structural engineering of that quality.

  • @drewparcel1727
    @drewparcel1727 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The wheel design is similar to what I have been wanting to do for a long time and surprised I have not seen it before. My idea was to use the wheel design when in forward rotation at speed to pull air from under the car and force it outwards to help suck the car to the road for better handling. My idea would provide cooling to the brakes as well. I've never tried to produce anything, just a wild dream I had years ago and have always wondered if it could actually move enough air to work.
    I enjoy seeing the very creative design here especially when you can create 1 part to do more than 1 function. I know I am a little late to the party in watching this video but I had to leave my 2 cents. Great work all around guys!

When I was much younger I had the first private shop with a chassis dyno in Canada and what Gale Banks has accomplished was also my ambition however my family (partners) did not share the same vision. I hope Gale stays young for ever I love what he is doing.
