We Broke Down! First Road Trip In Our Frankenstien Thunderbird!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ค. 2024
- After swapping our 89 5 speed Thunderbird Super Coupe from a supercharged single port 3.8 V6 over to a GT35 Chinese eBay turbocharged setup a few months ago we have yet to test the car out on a real road trip. So we are going to try to take a family road trip to the Rod Run car show at Pigeon Forge Tennessee. It is just over 200 miles round trip and we have never drove this car anywhere yet aside from just around our local area. Can we make it there and back? Let's find out together.
The car has a stock Super Coupe short block aside from the billet hydraulic roller camshaft. It has 97 F150 dual port heads that I ported at home and Pac 1218 valve springs and Comp retainers. It also has a 99-04 New Edge Mustang intake manifold with the flaps removed so it runs on both ports all the time " may be a mistake". It is running on E85 fuel thanks to Holley Terminator X ECU, 80 pound fuel injectors, and Holley 450lph fuel pump. It also has a Centerforce clutch and eBay Chinese blow off valve and waste gate. It is currently running on 15psi post with no intercooler. #winwithholley

Mama has the brick in the foot syndrome 😂😂😂🚙💨 best family on TH-cam 👍🏽
Yes she does
I agree!!
Mom likes to scare the young-ins. She gets the psyco eyes and smile. She-a sweet Momma.
💯
Metal crocks 😂😂
Thanks for taking us along . Not been able to go to the rod run in a long time. You guys are a blessing for disabled folks . We get to take adventures through you . God bless you guys and stay burger king and dollar gentral humble. 🤗🐐
True love them as if they were my family
Yes ma’am for sure
You touch my heart about being disabled. This is a Blessing to bond over God's creation on this channel. Hugs over the net.🌍🌎🌏🏜🏝🏟🕍🏘
@@lloydmaynard32 love them more than some of my family
Be well!
Josh, it is clear that the way Tosh drives isn't going to change, you will have to build them with more durable parts to withstand it! 🤣
Apparently so
It’s like Tosh graduated from the Chicago school of driving! I approve of the fastness lol.
I loved taking my Family there and seeing all those great old Cars and Trucks. I haven't been in years sadly. Thank you all for bringing back some great memories. Liked and shared as always. All my very best.
It’s a great place. Thank you for watching
Thank you for taking us with you on another epic sleeperdude adventure! I have to admit, with you being a mechanic, the dash lights made me laugh.
It was great tagging along with you guys. Congrats on the successful trip in the Thunderbird. Keep up the good work and the cool videos 👍✌️🇺🇲
Thank you I’m glad you liked it
Defiantly a duck tape and band-aid adventure! Seriously, enjoyed sharing your adventure. Your family is the highlight of the trip - all have their own distinct personality, and add a lot to the video. Best part is that you didn't have any problems with the casings, hoops, or whatever you're calling the tires.
Yes for sure !!
Thanks Sleeperdude family for the road trip. It was great to tag along with you all. Cheers and love from Australia.
Thank you
Thanks for the road trip and car show. You southern folks do have a lot of interesting attractions down there. I went to the annual spring opening of my old friend Jerry Bundy's car warehouse in Somers , Ct. this morning. He stores about 100 cars in this building for the winter everything from a 1952 Willys Jeep to his 1941 Cadillac four door convertible and 1957 Ford Fairlane hardtop convertible. I went up with my 1987 Crown Vic wagon, got to see and visit with Jerry ( he is 87 years old now ) and saw some really cool cars including a 1967 Pontiac GTO, a 1966 Buick Riviera and a 1967 Camaro. Always a good day to finish up the day with a Sleeperdude video. Take care guys and stay safe.
That’s so cool 😎
I used to work on vehicles an go to car shows with my GPA till he passed in 07 watch y'all's video's calms me down relaxs me an just enjoy yalls spirits
It’s pretty cool seeing the old style models cars
Love to see the family enjoy spending time with each other. Hard to find these days. Blessing to all
It's nice to see you all having fun once in a while! I know you put a lot of time into your vehicles and that's "fun" as well, but getting away making memories with the family is priceless. Glad Tosh was able to get the systems cleared out. That's the way to do it, I'm "Team Tosh"! WTG! Thanks for letting us tag along with you!
Was really great meeting yall at the show. Thanks again for taking time to chat. Hope to see yall again if you hit the Hot Rod Power Tour.
Awesome! Great seeing you as well.
It's nice knowing that you guys take these little trips now and then, because you're going to all the places that I'd love to go to but can't! So, I'll just live vicariously through you all! Thanks for the Road Trip!!!!
26:25 About 20 years ago, my late Pa owned an antique business inside a big barn there to the left in Wears Valley. He and his mountain buddies set up a stage inside that barn and would play bluegrass every Friday and Saturday night in front of a small crowd. (side note: we’re from Carthage…he decided to get him a place up there in the mountains around 2001 or so) Those were the good ole days! Definitely great memories growing up. I always have to drive that way anytime we head to Pigeon Forge. A piece of Pa will forever live up there. I just wish that area would stop growing…pretty soon it won’t be a small mountain community anymore with all the mountain coasters and other tourist traps they’re building!
Man..I got 2 sleeperdude2 and one regular channel video this week...it must be Christmas!! I love these videos...I could watch you and your awesome family all day everyday..yall need an "osbournes" style reality show...yall are just too much!!
Thank you. Yeah we are trying to crank out the content for you guys!!!
Awww, don't blame poor Ralphie. You can't let the boy get dehydrated! 😂
I like old car shows i like seeing old cars from fiftys. Thanks for your vidios scott
Thanks so much
Thanks for the look around ❤️
Thanks for watching
I had my 92 Thunderbird for about 2 weeks. I come out of the store and the car wouldn't start! The previous owner installed an alarm system that de-activated the ignition switch! Ugh. I had the local stereo store remove the alarms electronics, what a mess that alarm was. After it was removed no issues!!!! That's cool you took your T-Bird on a family trip!!
I had that happen to me on a BMW 3 series I had
Glad it was just the wire for the fuel pump. Nicest car you showed was the 427 4 speed Galaxy. Thanks for posting.
That "breakdown" is on you, sleeperdude.
Talkin' it up jinxed you.
Ralphie was just the messenger.
I wish you could have more videos! I could watch you everyday all day! This channel is is #1 in my book
Thank you for taking us all along to enjoy PF with your family. I hope to visit with my wife one day when we are able to take an extended vacation. Bless you all!
Home Sweet Home. If you like crowds you'll find it there. You are correct about Wears Valley and almost anywhere there, of course my favorite, Cades Cove.
Ok thanks
i've gotton to old to walk at car shows, but really do enjoy going with you guys
Thank you
Enjoyed the video my wife got a kick out of seeing me on there talking to you guys .And that was the longest trip we had made in the 67 Galaxie .Enjoy all you videos keep up the great work .GOD BLESS
I’m glad you liked it it was nice to meet you
Hello Sleeperdude family thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching
Y'all just some Beautiful people....God be with you guys always...
Thank you
The first gen El Camino is my favorite too. Also, the 66-67 Chevy II Nova is my dream car.
Awesome thanks
The articulation on that Snapper was next level!
I am always always always so glad that use the exact same music for your time lapse. It is so much fun. I always look forward to it.
What a Great array of vintage cars especially that paint job on the Nova 👍👏🙌 Thank's for taking us along 😎
Love Pigeon Forge!!! Looks like a great time!!!!!
Yes for sure
Glad y'all went and not me. My old nerves won't take that any more. Good job!
😀😀😀😀
Thank y'all so very much for allowing me to ride along via video on your family trip. Sleeperdude family is cool as a jewel on a mule 😁👍
😂🤣😂🤣
the look on josh's face when it didnt start was classic I could see what he was thinking....
Great video and a great place to visit family friendly P.S. love seeing those bare feet driving and shoes off on passenger side please keep showing them great job 👍,😁
Thank you for taking us with you on another sleeperdude adventure! these are moments your kids will never forget.
I really hope she gets a big ticket going that FAST with those kids in the car no way
Josh finally splurged on himself. Everything he got. He needs. Wires crimpers ..relays. Good for you sleepa dude
Thank you
It's absolutely amazing how your kids are always involved in everything cars what a awesome video. Thank y'all
Thank you
Dear Sleeperdude family
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, what a great video. If at all possible I love to watch your family trip vids even more than the "usual" ones (although there fortunately is no such thing than "usual" existing on this channel). Additionally this trip was even to a "car show city". Your car runs very, very well and sounds even better. Congratulations!
2) Please kindly allow me to suggest something about the heavy foot driving: Simply put a piece of wooden board under the gas pedal when Sleeperdude mom is driving. So the engine can't be revved up as fast (and not so high). Consider to camouflage the board piece at least with some black paint so that Sleeperdude mom isn't able to spot it. It mustn't be wood, any material that will block off the pedal from full throttle will do. 😁 ;-) 😜😘😇
Of course I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the next video.
Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and health in particular. To all of you of course!
Thank you 😊
Dear @@sleeperdude2690 family
You're welcome, it's my pleasure.
2) Thanks for replying and especially for another heart. As you know, I always and totally appreciate both very much.
3) So you don't like my idea, sigh! 😔
Or was it Sleeperdude mom answering my comment? 😁😁😁
Sincerely yours.
When the car would not start, but the guy next them car did, Josh said, well, his car started....lol
I’m glad you liked it
100 MPH??? She was givin it the BEANS, wasn't she!! 😂 Lots of cool cars! My dad has a 1970 VW Type 3 wagon that he's restoring. My grandpa bought it new back in 1970 and it's been in the family ever since. They are really cool cars. And it's FUEL INJECTED, rare option for that model. Thanks for taking us along!! 😎
Always
Great stuff !!! Thank you all for sharing your journey!!! Thank God you all had a safe and all most trouble free trip !!!! God bless each one of you !!!!! Eddy
Tosh,you're a natural at shifting!!I loved,loved,the whole video!We've been to Pigeon Forge several times in the past but not to this event.I'll have to add it to my bucket list.Glad that bird did good for you.I was probably as worried as you that would have to be towed home!Good to see all of you having a family outing.Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the ride-along, I do enjoy a good car show, it is so great that your family goes along.
Thanks for taking us with Sleeperdudes, more than likely I will never see it in person. Just a little test on the way back, hope that is covered now.
Central California watching.
Saw the Carolina Squat Truck. North Carolina outlawed The Carolina Squat last year. Gave people a chance to make the truck proper. The Police put on a sting. Calling all Carolina Squats to a Carolina Squat show. The Impounded every truck.
Oh my gosh
2:13 into video already classic!!! I have a feeling Momma is gonna Dance and Daddy is gonna Rock & Roll on this one. Strap on yo foot gear or not and get your RCs and Viennas!!!
Yup yalla better watch out for dem Smokies in the Smokies br-549. The laughing and the chuckling is way over the semi- truck load of Corn Dog fixings, ever! ===== chuWheeee or is it shawuuuuuuwwwoooooooooooooooooooooop!!!!
Absolutely love Squeezy's shirt . That is too good!
Thank you
Awesome thanks for take me along
Thank you for watching
Thank you for all your videos and all your amazing adventures! Loved seeing all the oldie but goodies!
Sometimes the simplest things can be the hardest to diagnose.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The t bird sounds great I'm sure glad you kept it a 6 cyl I for one am sick of LS swaps different is the spice of life it keeps it exciting and it is cool to see a 6 making good power when I was younger we built an old Buick v6 with a big cam roller setup high rise big 4 bbl headers and port work and put it in a old chevette and made it look stock and very well used and we had a boulevard we raced on and never let anyone know what everyone thought it was some big expensive v8
Yeah for sure
You guys have the best life, an incredible family and I love y’all and please don’t ever take your channel away❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you we are very blessed
That was an awesome car show
I agree the black impala with the cat eyes was a beautiful classic...
you should make a cover for the fuel lines that you have in the trunk so they don't get pulled out by accident...
My wife and I love pigeon forge,tn she's taking her mom down mother's day for the weekend. Never been during rod run but hooefully soon
Any big car event at Pigeon Forge is on my bucket list. Road trip there all the way from Idaho!
It is a fun place if you get the chance to go
I hope yall wont un friend my for too much talk but this is a mega trip. Also with the wiring stuff, Daddy Josh is bringing home the bacon, Bigggggg Timeeeeeemah. Be like you guys will save soo much and the clear purple toggle switches will do America, and Americans even super more prouder. You all look like, "we be happy :)". In our Happy Place.
Thank you
This was like going on vacation through video!! Glad it was just a wire off in the car, exceptional video and lots of cool things to see, you guys rock! Thank you sleeperdude crew for bringing us along on your adventures!
Yeah I was afraid it was something worse at first
@@sleeperdude2690 glad it was an easy fix
Looked a fantastic day out josh you have so much fun as a family love itv❤❤
Thank you
Would love to see some more small builds like the "drift" trike.... Thanks for the entertainment!
We need to get on some of those
@@sleeperdude2690 when do we get to see a motorcycle get some work done?
The code lights on the dash look like a Christmas tree! ...Love it!
OLE CROC FOOT COMING IN CLUTCH....YEEEE HAWW.
Exactly
Dude. I just did a 5400 mile trip on my bike that included going through that area. I thought about how awesome it is that you as a family do these things. Keep on keeping on brother.
super clip, thanks for the share ...
Thanks for watching
Pigeon forge his financial, but the entire sleeper dude family must attend the Woodward dream cruise it is usually the 3rd August of every year! It is a one of a kind experience and you will regret not having gone up to this point yet.
You should of taken the Chrysler with the Corinthian Leather. More room in the back for the kids. Wait was Squeezy wearing shoes??? NO WAY. LOL
Thank you 😊 yes she had shoes on for a short minute
I seen a station wagon on a flat bed just like the red one you sold recently. It was very solid!
As a child I got asked to pray over a meal once. So I bowed my head and said "Good drink, good meat, Good God, let's eat!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank y’all for sharing Pigeon Forge rod run with us. I can’t wait for Buc-ee’s to open. My wife’s cousin lives about 30-45 minutes from there. I love Tennessee.
Glad you all had a safe trip. Thank goodness all it was is a one wire fix.
Wasn’t Sure I was getting out today. Thanks for taking me with y’all!
Thank you
MAD MAD MAD cars and trucks of all sorts. What a treat! Thanx.
GREAT VIDEO. YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT. EVERY ONE ELSE DOES BUT YOU AND CLEETUS NEVER DISSAPOINT
awesome that it was just a wire that came out! Time to get a little cover for your fuel pump relay in the trunk 🙂
Great video. Great car show. T-BIRD ran great.
Thank you
I love the Joe dirt crapper tank reference. Funny stuff.
Love this great family, greatings from sweden
Thanks for the fun channel and the inspiration to put a Chevy 350 into a 1988 Bronco 2
Hey thanks so much for your generosity!
Looking forward to the family camping trip these are great vids!!
You were going 100 WOW But was so much fun thanks 👍😊
Glad it wasn't nothing major, missed meeting y'all again! If I'd known y'all were in Pigeon Forge I'd had come over and said hey! since I only live 5 mins away. Maybe this fall at the Grand Run! God Bless and be safe!
It sucks that mama almost got blamed for that😂 I like those old thunderbirds, i can remember the old 4 cylinder turbo models good luck finding one.
Good job troubleshooting that fuel pump relay 👍👍👍👍👍
Enjoyable video. Thanks for the trip.
Thank you

16:05 - The moment when you realize "I've got to bag the New Yorker!" 🤔💡
Yes, those were my thoughts exactly .
I love watching you all with those I really like the long videos I really enjoy watching the animals to
MOM drives like me! My husband bought a 67' Nova for $400 - from a lil old lady & tubed it out put a ridiculous motor in it & raced it! And YES he's still talking about that car!
Another totally enjoyable fabulous video!!! Especially for this girl' we're just gearing up (see what I did there) here in Massachusetts for our car show season, I've been getting my VWBus and convertible 69' bug "Penelope" ready!! Waw'waw would be in heaven!!
Oh wow that’s great!!!
I love that area of Tennessee we are speeding the weekend in Gatlinberg after the hot rod power tour this year!
Good family stuff Josh….. well done Bloke…… cheers from Oz 🇦🇺
Thank you
Love you guys!!!!! Nice week end trip, appreciate you taking us along! ❤
