  • We had not been over 30 mph on the road, and never done a burnout in Shawn's Chevy II, let's go to the biggest LS powered race in the country and try to make a pass.......

  • @Headsup9550
    @Headsup9550 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I bet that was a surreal moment for Shawn. Kevin don't apologize for lack of video, you know sometimes we probably need to experience certain moments without a piece of electronics glued to our hands, head, body, ect.. I feel like I need to exercise my soul every now & then to make sure I still have one! I'm sure that getting to see Shawn's face made all this work the past few months worth it! You're doing great!

    From a rusty shell to a crazy 1/8th mile monster on its first pass. Amazing.
    Don't be so hard on yourself. "Should have caught that sooner". If tuning was easy, we would all be doing it.

    I remember when you couldn't give a nova away in the late 70"s or a 330 dart or a falcon of that era either . They were mom cars that moms didn't want . Some guys raced them but now they are poping up left right and center .The fast backs were the cars to own

  • @surfingnerd621

  • @wideslammer
    @wideslammer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    That smile and expression of satisfaction were WELL DESERVED when the first pass in a brand new car looks as successful as that one. I can't say that I'm surprised when the MASTER is able to create a car like that one.

    Man I can’t imagine what the feeling would be for not only you Kevin, but also for the gentleman you built the car for. Bring someone a shell full of potential, and watching it materialize, and then do what it did on the first pass.. Thats sheer talent and hard work. He must be absolutely ecstatic, and you should be damn proud. That car is gonna be a show stopper man. Awesome video. Love watching you do what you do.

  • @jurisklavins2578

And you sir have probably the nicest crew running your stand. So thanks for the kickass shirts and also seeing your work in person is crazy! You and your crew sure are talented.💯

    • @Sabrinahuskydog
      @Sabrinahuskydog 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That kind of comes with experience. He's done this build-a-race-car thing a few times by now. I imagine along the way he learns a few things about getting it right in less time on new builds. :)

    • @martinhunt7046
      @martinhunt7046 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Sabrinahuskydog absolutely, but just because someone has done something loads of times before, doesn't necessarily mean they are any good at it. Im a fabricator myself and when i see the level of detail and skill applied to every aspect of the builds that leave the workshop at ksr racing im amazed, the passion that goes into the builds is inspiring. I wish i had the opportunity to work alongside more people with that sort of passion in my trade.
