      I know man, other shows are like “oh yeah, you should be able to swap an AWD twin turbo LS drivetrain into your 1950 GMC in 3 days in your home garage,” meanwhile they have a two post lift, a plasma cutter, mig, tig, and stick welders, a CNC machine, presses, sheet metal brakes, a team of dudes, and a $50,000 pile o’ parts on a pallet on the floor. Definitely, super relatable. It’s super easy, all you have to do is order everything out of a catalog, gee why didn’t I think of that? I can’t even watch that kind of garbage anymore, I just end up getting pissed when the parts theyre throwing out in the dumpster are better than what I’m working with lol.

      Hopefully a real guy does things right the first time, checking bolt tightness, breaking in a clutch etc. The real guy cant afford to pull the engine and do things right the second or third time (much less put two or three clutches in it). These guys are great but if a real guy is following their lead they will pay for it.

    Still and always will be a 68/69 Torino Fastback guy but in the FoMoCo line the early Cougars are a very close second. Also, always great to see another older guy banging the gears like the term is meant. (In my case these days) No lower left leg? Clutch pedal? STILL not a problem! Fumble the clutch for first and reverse, no need for it beyond those.

    When I hear bang shift, I think of shifting without the clutch after taking off from a stop, and any gear going up through the gears is simply shifted without ever touching the clutch pedal.
    That's bang shifting from when I use to race.

    @10:39, there's a story in how that case cracked. looks like something was wedged between the countershaft teeth and the case. Zooming on those teeth reveals extreme wear? on the teeth themselves..It's also the side of the box that has the selector forks and a few grub screws. These gearboxes are usually very, very tough gearboxes. The primitive nature of the shifters whether hurst, oem etc makes them so much fun, mine has a home made shift handle comprising a 14 inch length of steel with a 5 inch wide piece of 1.5 diameter pipe as a gearknob on top of a hurst shifter.

    You guys install all those beautiful parts and then beat the s***t out of it…Donuts and burn outs? What’s the point? Take it to the drag strip and make some passes and maybe some Willow Springs road course action.

    Had a friend with a 68 cougar that I was to put a water pump in on until a drunk driver came around the corner and yes you guessed it, didn't need a water pump no more . Now he needed a whole new car and the guy that nailed it split .
