Corvette, Stingray, Chevy,
This is turning into a great little channel of it's own right. I came here for the Demo Ranch stuff, but stayed for literally all of it.
That is awesome. There is a good DEMO CUDA update coming in the next couple days.
Same here
Prolly most of us are here because democuda and now just sitting and chilling here
So true came with Demo but great content so far.
I concur
I saw the Cuda!
You mean Creepy Cuda? Which is what it's name needs to be! Gosh dang it!
I've been a fan of demo ranch for at least 6 years and creepy cooter can now live on in a creepy car.
Lastly, I love the car content. I'm more of a classic mustang fan but anything car is cool. Nothing better than cars and guns. Both of them are humans controlling explosions!!
The Duke! (after abel names like Earl and Abel, you need to stay the course! I'm going to keep repeating till you hear me)
Ceterum censeo Cartaginem delendam esse
Matt, you gotta make this thing bigger and badder than the Ballistic bandit, I mean u already proved to have the biggest barrel, and them big nuts you have are gonna need some horsepower to move them around lol
“Oh it’s my wife hold on” This is true reality folks.
The Stingray is like a timeless looking car, doesn't age at all!
not Stingray but still a vet
After viewing the under the car video portion, it's no wonder the car isn't making any power. Exhaust from the manifolds into a Y pipe, then into a single factory catalytic converter, then branching out to a set of dual pipes exiting out the rear. Any bets that a 40 year old converter isn't clogged?
That poor Sting Ray has seen a number of owners cobbling together a mish-mash of personal touches. Sounds like the poor girl was a red head orphan step child. Non functional side pipes with Corvette stenciled down the length, the bronze see through roof and the multi-colored interior.
Give it some love guys. She's going to need it.
Pretty paint job which deserves an awesome motor.
Yes it does!
That Vette looks roudy as hell!!
The only thing better than your videos are you meteoric rise in subscribers!
GOD BLESSED YOU!
that wife sounds like a keeper!
Sounds like she's the real treasure!
ThAnks for showing us bad ass cars with out the drama
Very cool. Making everything wrong with the 80's RIGHT! I also spotted a Daytona coupe in the shop!!
1977 and up corvettes were no longer called stingrays. It’s sad but true
He mentioned The Wraith, well he did have a vision that the engine was being ghosted from the car.
Did enjoy the film back in the day, even if it showed cars being destroyed on a regular basis.
It is amazing how little power the smog police allowed us to make back in the day. Well done with the swap!
C3's are great looking cars, but those smog motors are terrible. Super job guys on giving this corvette the power it was always meant to have!
Please tell Paul you don’t need PD tv ( phony drama tv) we’re loving the way your doing it .keep up the good work ,
While you are absolutely correct (I hate reality tv), a healthy dose of skepticism is not misplaced here. On any machine 40+ years old that untold number of folks have worked on, often one thing is fixed only to uncover others ... refer to starter cob-job... Our phrase in the shop wasn't "let's see if it starts" it was "What gremlin did we just release"
Lol, figures the og’s are the guys that know how to use a timing light. Car still have points in it. Nice wheels
Killer work guys
He either needs to put actual working side pipes on it or loose those. It just looks stupid and fake with non-working side exhaust on it otherwise its a beautiful Corvette. And the wrath was a great movie! Lol
There was a text pop-up about exhaust cutouts and an exhaust system. If it was _my_ build (as much as I dislike the 1980's 'vette) I'd have the outlet for the cutout going through the sidepipes and "normal" mode going through the catalytic and tail pipes.
@@michiganengineer8621 Here in Georgia an '80 is exempt from smog. That cat is the older bead type and restrictive as hell. Monza had one like it and when I put the headers on (V8 car) I put a ford-type cat off each header collector (back when it had to be tested). I'd also lose the side pipes. But it's HIS car and I always say if it's YOUR car do whatever you want!
@@PhilG999 No emissions testing here in Michigan, so I'm not sure what the regulations would say about taking off the cat. My old Cutlass had cutouts and tailpipes (mumble) years ago, well hidden since in Florida at the time they _did_ look for those modifications. Mine just looked like it had a pair of oversized mufflers LOL
This guy has one of the best jobs in the world
Good looking car. My one complaint is the side pipes...use em or loose em. Two side and two rear just looks funny. Loving the channel!
Those are definitely the wrong emblems for the car but I have a 1980 Corvette as well I so desperately want to redo it she needs some love it was my dad's car he bought it when I was 8 years old and I rode home with a minute and couldn't see over the dashboard I'm now 35 and my father passed away 8 years ago this August would love to finally upgrade that car and do it the way that he always wanted it done
I wish I knew about you guys before I had to work done in my truck
Dude! The Wraith is one of my favorite movies! That's awesome! The Dodge M4S in that movie is one of my favorite cars.
Great job guys!
my favorite gen of corvette
Tips. from a mechanic with 42 years under the hood.. anything with a carb and a mechanical fuel pump.. gets a 1984 corvette fuel filter before the pump inlet.. so the pump only gets filtered fuel.. if you need a filter with 5/16 hose barbs.. use the filter for a 94 ford probe.. both of those filters are 10 micron and it keeps the sediment out of the fuel pump check valves. this prevents fuel vapor lock ... extended cold cranking.. impossible hot cranking after stalling at low speed hot.. and fuel trickling out of the throttle shafts after shut down.. is the only fix.. i have been doing it since 1983..
dead stick timing HEI distributors is Crazy simple. after the distributor is down on the oil pump shaft.. bring the crank to what ever base timing you want. look at the pickup coil poles and the reluctor poles.. turn the housing to align them.. lock the distributor down right there.. i did a 86 C4 TPI pickup coil.. i had preset the crank so the timing mark on the damper and pointer were at base timing . verified that the reluctor and pickup coil poles aligned.. pulled the distributor.. knocked the shaft out.. swapped in a new pickup coil.. dropped the distributor in.. bumped the engine around to seat the oil pump shaft.. bumped the starter till it got back to the exact same spot on the damper timing mark.. turned the housing.. locked it down.. finished reassembly.. reached thru the window and turned the engine roared to life.. the owner was sitting there watching me intently. how did you do that.. i have never seen anybody ever turn the key and start the engine without turning the distributor back and forth.. i looked at him and said this is why my boss paid me the big bucks.. i pulled out the timing light and jumped the AB terminal to allow me to check the timing.. dead on.. 15 before.
one more thing. search out the carb specs.. see what size the Idle feed restrictions are.. usually out of the box carbs are 0.031" idle feed restrictions.. that is too small for most 383.. it will really wake up the car if you try it with 0.033" idle feed restrictions.. 0.032" works great on 347 thru 360.. get into the big blocks.. 427, 428, 429's need 0.035. i drilled them to 0.036" on a bored out 429SCJ and the owner could hardly drive it.. any tiny opening of the throttle and the rear tires would start spinning.. the idle feed restrictions are the only fuel from idle to around 1800RPM when the primary boosters start trickling.. the idle feed restrictions slack off totally as the primaries take over totally about 2400.. look at steady throttle air fuel ratio at 1700 or 1800 rpms.. if its lean and the primary boosters are not trickling yet.. go larger on the IFR's
the Grey corvette at the beginning title could use some smaller accelerator pump shooter size and perhaps some IFR work.. should not be blowing black carbon smoke just winging the engine..
be sure to set idle speed and idle mixture with the primary throttle blade closed as far as you can.. open the secondary throttle blade slightly. so the primary throttle blades don't uncover the more than a tiny amount of idle transitions slots..
I'm 46 and I had a bootleg beta video of the wraith for so many years. Love the car. Want the car.
My man uploads at 2am and still gets 1K views in under an hour, awesome stuff though!
2:18 that's... that's a type 65 Coupe. That there is my dream kit car.
To Troy,
I don't know you or your wife but with all due respect, I love her. Just watched the Wraith not long ago.
That paint job is very nice
Now it's a beautiful vette. Nice clean job. I'd also like to see a little more of that, was it a Shelby, in front of the vette in the beginning. Thanks for some great content.
One of my bucket list cars.... my uncle had a n 82 collector edition when was little, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever!
Lol collectors edition... 82 corvette ... I don’t think I’ve ever heard those two phrases put together
I promise it'd a real thing... look it up. Siver(ish) and charcoal two tone with the cheesiest silver leather seats you've ever seen in a car. And I loved every square inch of it!
That's the one that needs the truck dually frame and a new duramax engine set in it. I'm not much on gm products but I like corvettes.
I like how it has side pipes and tail pipes lol.
That's 2 into 1 into 2 cali smog regs
Was wondering the same thing. Guess it was more show than go.
We've gotta see that when it's done!
Definitely can relate to the speedometer only going up to 85
DAAAAAANNNNNNNGGGGGGG thats gorgeous 😍
Vette is great but the Shelby in Front of it OH MY GOD !!!!!
What I was saying. LET US SEE THE CAR.
Very soon!
@@MuscleRodShop please 🤤
Have you heard of Uncle Tony's Garage?
He is a MOPAR savant... Anything old new engines he knows what horsepower you can should b
Get, nitro, nitrous, naturally aspirated, blown. He knows
40 years of knowledge,racing used to write for publications
Dog Harlots, colletta you name them he knows them..
Maybe y'all can callaberate or just chew the fat..
BTW He's in Tennessee from NY City.
God bless you and your loved ones.
Godspeed
Saw the Demo Cuda!!!
I had a 450 whp 72 c10 with a 383 and that big girl weighed twice as much as the vette, that thing probably rips
She’s gonna be a ripper! Cool that he got his childhood dream car! Also.. cool wife! Good video! Can’t wait to see more! I think everyone wants to know more about that Shelby Daytona too! 👀🇺🇸
I thought the same thing when I saw that! Lets see the Daytona. Gotta be a kit. If its the real thing that is a big $$$ car!
@@michaela4370 it’s a superformance car for sure
never clicked so fast on a video
Sick ass car
Love those 80-82 Corvettes!
You guys keep hitting it out of the park with the superb content!!
Not surprised to see those fusible links....I REALLY HATE fusible links....I've removed all but one so far on my '89 Chevy truck.....the last one is minor and if it goes, no biggy, doesn't stop the truck from running, LOL...nice build, can't wait to see it completed....
Im digging all the vids. I wish i had the money to have a car built by you guys
This channel is growing so fast. Awesome work guys.
That is a nice fade. And now the engine suits it.
Troy is an accountant guaranteed.
How do you post a video at 4:00am and I'm still the 1000th viewer? lol
Great Car, still cool as heck
Did you know Corvette is the name of the smallest size of Warship, one step below a frigate? Changed my perspective on these guys. Little hellions they can be :)
Would have been nice to actually see at least some of the swap.
Content Opportunity......... Missed✅
This feels like your bread and butter content, love these updates
**LOVE THE 1980 VETTE**
Love the rides
Very clean.
Upgrade that radiator especially on a Vette they love to over heat. Also I hope the owner is smart enough to put away in the back corner of his shed the old numbers matching motor.
I got a '80 Vette while on leave from Iraq in '06. Unfortunately life happened and I had to sell it. I will get it back though.
I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS CONTENT!
Looks convincing, but 1976 was the last year for the Stingray
Love that color. That car's gonna be fun as hell when its all sorted.
(6:50) you guys saved a sweet looking car from certain death by fire! geesh, that car could've burst into flames every time it revved the starter!
That Daytona coupe though!
Please show the Daytona Coupe Cobra, my dream car!!!
Ive always wanted a C3 Corvette. someday if I'm lucky i guess.
Let's see some in depth videos of those plymouths
Wait what about that greys Shelby I front of the orange dart I think it was a dart but please show that Shelby it’s one of my favourite cars!!! Awesome video btw.
Tonight I was talking and turning just a bad night sleeping. Picked up my phone and NEW video. The very car I wanted as a graduation car in "81".
Didn't get the car, got to see the video. I'll sleep better now.
Now I know why I couldn't sleep, can now.
Fantastic videos!
I look forward to the next dream build!
If it doesn't already have them, he should strongly consider a stoptech or baer big brake kit conversation and pilot sport 4's. Then suspension upgrades, preferably coil overs but that's up to him for ride Vs handling
You guys don't slack off! Normally I have to wait a week for a normal service job on my car, swapping an engine probably would take my garage at least a month. And by the way, I think this is my favorite Corvette body style.
No Drama Paul! Lmao
Very cool vette
WOW!! Gorgeous Sting Ray!! Made even prettier with new motor.
I had a 71 red vette but mine had real working side pipes on it. I remember having inserts' made to fill in where the original exhaust exited the rear. Loved that car.
This is an awesome car
You guys never disappoint.
Goodness. I love this channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
I have one if those sitting in my garage also with the original motor but mine has less than 50k on it. I'm going to restore it some day. Yeah I went 120mph in mine stock so 85mph doesn't cut it.
Channel is doing well
In GTAO try metallic anthracite black with blaze red pearlessence. It looks amazing in direct sun.
Man uploaded at 2 am and still had to work all day on friday. Always a shop's busiest day. I'm headed back after I'm done with lunch to pull a valve body out of a chevy 6 speed.
Amazing job guys, can't wait to see the progress on the HemiCuda!!!
LOVE the fade on that paint job. Absolutely beautiful vehicle.
Love the intro
Awesome job on the Vet, would love to see the final, interior gages and exterior detail. Would love to see the look on the owner's face when he picks it up.
Cool little video
Sick Vette. The Wraith was an underrated movie. I always wanted Skanks Cuda.
I know this episode was about that 80 Corvette, but was that a Shelby Daytona in there too? Such hot ride!
I seen that too .. I was like nobody say anything about that sweet ride
I came to the comments to mention that. Please tell me you guys got some footage and pictures of that for a video.
It's coming soon!
Thanks for the front and back story. Love the stories in the middle too - just to register my vote for your consideration. Cheers and thanks for the channel.
I could be wrong here but I think videos need to be 10 minutes long to have ads in the middle, thats how you make your money lol
I love the before and after type of videos but I think it would also be cool to see the more technical side of things like pulling the engine out, putting the new one in and even rebuilding some of the high output engines you guys are doing. Keep up the good work!
Thats a bad ass wife... Go ahead get your dream car
Awesome content - Still waiting for merch!
Love this channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
I knew that I stayed up for a reason A new video at 3:45 am great stuff guys.
Sweet looking car!! New gauges and engine will make it right again! Your shop looks like a great place to work! I love the interactions between you guys! Good stuff!
