Great video. Thanks for making us all a part of your garage bull session. I loved your leaving your wife’s comments in at the end. Every one of us can relate....
@Robert King who said it was an achievement? (apart from theLaXandro above). ...most new cars in Europe are still "stick", or manual transmission as it is called over here. This is why the phenomenon "driving stick" is not a thing here. We just call it driving. My wife is allergic to automatics for instance and refuse to drive them. Driving a manual transmission is not an achievement. Only driving automatics is underachieving.
@Robert King No I did not. Read again. Having a woman who can "drive stick" can only be a fetish where it's considered an achievement (i.e. America). In Europe they are not special since all women drive manual transmissions here. She's obviously not allergic in the literal sense but in the sense that she can't stand them. That was fairly obvious tbh.
@Robert King that sentence does not in any way imply that I think it is an achievement. I am simply pointing out that the above only holds true in a country where its considered an achievement (North America).
Kool! Got the wife on the video! Right on Mike! Great answers to the questions. Good to see you relaxed,smiling,and laughing! All of you! Made my day Mike!
Finnegan, Thanks for all the suspension info and everything else you did to it. Giving me inspiration to get my 70 Elco back on the road and I like the stance of your wife's Elco!
I'm not a paint n body guy. But I love mechanical engineering. Motors, trans, rear ends or Heavy Equipment. (Look up p51 Precious metal) That said. The paint in body of Finnegan's race boat. It does something for me. It's like CLASSIC ART on water. And poetry in motion. Thank you for building it. Even if you built it for yourself. I believe it needs to be made into a poster so I can mount it in my living room. Love the show.

Thanks for the Video.....What incredible luck that the only thing that got damaged was the wheel When my Wife hit a curb in her 07 Mustang GT, the only thing that didn't get destroyed was the Factory 18" wheel. It already had Curb Rash, but it didn't bend. It cost her almost $2500 to replace all the damaged suspension parts. Glad you and your Wife were ok.
Great episode Mike, the banter between you, Dave and Mikey is so genuine, it's always entertaining and educational of course, to watch you guys together..... 😆👍🏻
Hey fin you should look into getting some spray foam insulation for that garage. It would help keep your house upstairs warm/cooler and get rid of that unsightly insulation. Also will help when your filming keeping sound down. Can’t wait to see the turbo boat running
One word for you- Quickjack. When not in use, you can stash it to the side or underneath a car. It’s made doing everything in my garage home garage 90% easier.
@ Finnegan's Garage You & the Elco need to visit the "Long Island Medium", get that bad mojo taken care of. Maybe say a word to Farley too, if you will? "I live in a van down by the river." 😉

+1 on the Race Ramps endorsement. They are surprisingly amazing little pieces of kit. Not to mention, they make extensions for them if you have a particularly low car.
RIP Roadkill! People said the older episodes are free to watch, but I checked again and they are all locked. None of the other shows interest me, so it isn't worth paying for a subscription for a show that really started to suck right before they took it off youtube. I'm glad to see another video from Finnegan's garage........hopefully we see them more often. At least Cletus is killing it on youtube, so I will get my fix over there in between FG episodes.
Props to your WIFE for hitting the cement with the right tire instead of the oil pan....yup, she rocks! ...remember Fun, happy wife, happy life..! PROPS.....!!!!
@Finnegan's Garage Have a chat to the MCM guys about their quick lift. Portable belly lift. Slide each side under the car, connect the lines and lift her up. No need to mount to the floor so it's perfect for your shop.
My wife and I when we first got married had the same set of problems. Only ours was fuel pump, hole in the gas tank, run out of gas, the car just quit among others. All in all, it was fun, great but glad it stopped.
Matt Foley!!!! F'kin ace skit dude!! But seriously, good luck with the El Co on the next date... it will come good in the end... trust me! Cheers. Leigh in super wet Scotland.
Minus the "gas in the armpit" episode... this is my favorite. Was awesome watching you guys BSing and answering questions sitting around the custom footstool 😁
Need to take it to shop with either Hunter or John Bean/FMC/Snap On alignment machine, make sure they do caster sweep to measure SAI and IA and then input appropriate number or specs check. SAI and IA numbers against caster/camber. This will show if anything is bent.
We forgot about this channel. TH-cam didn't suggested it for a while now. I ride around thinking about past episodes but life gets too busy and .....and....and.......I won't let it happen again. Keep up the good fun!
Cars, keeping couples occupied since the late 1885. love it. Those ramps came from the tow industry, use them on lowered cars to get them on the rollback wtith out tearing up the front end . So you could most likely find the ramps cheaper if you look in different circles.
Even tho its a Yamaha. I commend you for have a standup jetski in your life. I have three kawaskai ones and its just as much of an addiction like hotrods are 👍
Hi, I'm 6' 7" and I have always had the same problem. I have a friend who put a lift in and it was like every one I've worked on it's to short. He came up with the idea of using office chairs on his very smooth floor. It works Great!
I'm Really enjoying your channel,reminds me of hanging out with my uncle's as a kid building cars. 😁 Oh yeah,heah Fin please don't use those plated sockets with the air gun anymore, the plating cracks and flares out,(think of a spinning razor blade I've seen it happen and don't want it to happen to you)
Love the sitting around bs ing and answering questions do more of that when you can. also let your wife know if she's in the shop it's fair game. Also would love a photo shoot of the quirks and features of the c50 ramp truck cause for some reason i think i need one like it.
Have to admit it I like the old school rally rims better. But your updated snowflake style is cool. Love the old Elcaminos for sure...so ya can't go wrong with that in my book.
Spot on with the lift (Hoist) height,.. when you're constantly crouched or tilting the head over, it's a pain in the neck, and back, and legs, and arms,... What Cotton means is called 'chattering', where the tyre surface grips/releases/grips/releases in a repeated cycle as it drags the sidewall sideways until it looses grip. Expect it to be more then just the Toe being out, as it's showing wear on the outside edge, not the whole surface - if it was only the Toe, the wear would be across the surface, but with the Toe and the wrong offset, the scrub angle could be out, or it not enough negative camber it eats the outside edge of the tyre more during cornering.
The right hand front tyre (sorry Tire) will wear the shoulder more, because you guys go around left hand corners at faster speeds. We have the same, but opposite problem Downunder in Australia. Our LHF corner suffers more.
Chat Wear: noun, wear on tires from not having proper alignment (1) Its almost like this Chatty Chat, like it's going down the road and its Chattin' See, *Chat*
they did the entire front install on hot rod garage years ago and they even took it out on a road course to test it after they did the work way back when him and Freiburger did the show
Hey Finnegan: I just did you a big favor and called the number on the side of your garbage container and told them you had a bunch of junk cars indoors and out, a boat and a lot of scrap metal that needed to be recycled. If you were not home, just load up all they could, haul it off and keep coming back until they were done! I went on to explain that weekends and evenings were fine just so they got there ASAP! Your neighbors baked me a cake and gave me season tickets for the Braves 2020!
16:20 He's a Dapper Dan man! (Oh Brother Where Art Though reference) Pomade is basically Vaseline but thinner. Brill-cream is the most recent variation I can think of. Dad used it. "Brill Cream, a little dab 'll do ya!" was the jingle. I'm old.
If you want a scissors lift that doesn't get in the way when it isn't being used, you can get a set that just rolls around. Mighty Car Mods uses a set like that a lot, you might check where they got theirs.
Thanks for posting my question about the big block swap , I know it was a ridiculous question but I had to ask lol, never know it could be faster with a Chevy engine 😁
Scissor lifts and low rise post lifts like maxxjack move around, so they are not sitting in your way when you're not using them, just wheel them against a wall or whatever.
Dude, you won the lottery when you found your wife. She should make more cameo appearances that one was hilarious I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
It sure looks like that right front tire has been subjected to heavy handling more than it has been subjected poor alignment. To get the tire to roll over that much and get that much heat and abrasion wear into the mid/lower shoulder the alignment would have to be off by inches. FYI - depending on the tire construction, the tread compound can end just off the footprint area (contact patch) of the tread pattern. If you push the tire via heavy handling and get into the sidewall compound the tire wear in the shoulder will wear like an eraser rubber on a pencil. Some UHP tires wrap the tread compound further down the shoulder to help with wear during heavy handling. Good luck on you next date. I will bring you extra rubber(s) if needed.
You might need to upgrade her to the classic 15 inch rims, maybe Corvette rallyes, the extra sidewall will help prevent that. LOL, I think she needs more sidewall and less high performance brakes.
I have a short 2 post lift and im 6'2". turns out a rolling break stool is perfect under it for me, its like im standing under the car but im sitting. its also bolted to the ground so I can remove it to store it out of the way when im not going to use it for a while
I got a 1975 dodge w100 I'd love to put up and show off to you guys. I hope to be up in vegas pretty soon and say hello to yall. Love your work and I have learned a hell of a lot more than my old neighbors. See yall soon and good luck!
Check out the low profile long reach Daytona 3 ton! I use one of each, the yellow and the orange longreach low profile. The low profile will lift Vetts and low low autos.
Finn, You have such a beautiful wife. Youre a very lucky man. I LOVE her nose. Its so naturally perfect! I hope you never get rich enough that she thinks she should change it (or anything). It would be such a crime to change that beautiful face. Best wishes to your future, guys!
Oh Finnegan, thanks for bringing back the memory's 😂😂😂 a late best friend of mine did that same thing with a grinder, but he was standing right in front of me back in the day in high school shop, how however in this case I was there to help beat out the flames, but his fire was a bit lower on his T-shirt, so... I wasn't just beating out the flames 😂😂😂 I was repeated slapping him in the nuts! 😂😂😂 more pain than being on fire.
Oh man, I love media blasting parts.. Between that and painting stuff, it's so amazing to take a rusty POS that looks like junk and strip it down and see the good metal that's hiding underneath. I did that a BUNCH in high school including the cases, swing arm mounts, cylinder covers and a few other parts for my family's 1946 Indian Chief that my grandpa helped my dad buy when we lived in Mississippi when I was 9. My grandpa worked on them in WW2 so that's why he was willing to help my dad get it.. and why I wish I had the money to buy it from my dad and redo it so he can never sell it because it should stay in the family. Being from Mississippi though, it was one big pile of rust, the only thing that wasn't rusty is the tanks which are somehow perfect. The fenders were completely gone along with the trans gears, rods, the chrome on the bars, the rims and the bottom of one side of the frame.. I still need to strip the paint off (my dad had the frame painted in MS for free) and fix the rust in the bottom tube of the frame.. I don't own a MIG or TIG though only an ebay gas setup and a HF Flux Core welder. Welcome to being physically disabled, autistic (which I only figured out at 31) and on blood pressure meds that make you never know when you are going to sleep.. getting a job is pretty much impossible, so I have no money to do ANYTHING.
EVERY JACK FROM H/F: Take all wheels off, grease EVERYTHING, put all back on. Medium locktight on adjusters for swivel casters. And don't forget to top off the fluid.
@@FinnegansGarage do you think that the rim is repairable? I'm in a similar situation but was thinking I was going to have to buy a whole new set of rims.
BOY I KNOW WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING AT...DOWN BY THE RIVER...SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE WITH CHRIS FARLEY....That is l think the funniest skit l have looked at he was really funny....Sad that he is gone.....But hay that stuff kills...thanks..!
I have a beautiful 1967 El Camino, full 4 link and pro roll bar, rear end, trans, 15x14 rear rims. I live in Orange, Ca. Cancer has put this project on indeffinate hold. Would you consider using it as a test bed for your engine projects? I have a auto 4 speed trans. set up for 1000 hp. The frame should be good for 2000 hp. It's too nice a car to let sit.

Check out the low profile long reach Daytona 3 ton! I use one of each, the yellow and the orange longreach low profile. The low profile will lift Vetts and low low autos.
You can now seriously impress us by straightening that bent wheel and welding the cracks.
By the ways - What's the same side back wheel like? It can't have missed that rock.
Finn, You have such a beautiful wife. Youre a very lucky man. I LOVE her nose. Its so naturally perfect! I hope you never get rich enough that she thinks she should change it (or anything). It would be such a crime to change that beautiful face. Best wishes to your future, guys!
Oh Finnegan, thanks for bringing back the memory's 😂😂😂 a late best friend of mine did that same thing with a grinder, but he was standing right in front of me back in the day in high school shop, how however in this case I was there to help beat out the flames, but his fire was a bit lower on his T-shirt, so... I wasn't just beating out the flames 😂😂😂 I was repeated slapping him in the nuts! 😂😂😂 more pain than being on fire.
Oh man, I love media blasting parts.. Between that and painting stuff, it's so amazing to take a rusty POS that looks like junk and strip it down and see the good metal that's hiding underneath. I did that a BUNCH in high school including the cases, swing arm mounts, cylinder covers and a few other parts for my family's 1946 Indian Chief that my grandpa helped my dad buy when we lived in Mississippi when I was 9. My grandpa worked on them in WW2 so that's why he was willing to help my dad get it.. and why I wish I had the money to buy it from my dad and redo it so he can never sell it because it should stay in the family. Being from Mississippi though, it was one big pile of rust, the only thing that wasn't rusty is the tanks which are somehow perfect. The fenders were completely gone along with the trans gears, rods, the chrome on the bars, the rims and the bottom of one side of the frame.. I still need to strip the paint off (my dad had the frame painted in MS for free) and fix the rust in the bottom tube of the frame.. I don't own a MIG or TIG though only an ebay gas setup and a HF Flux Core welder. Welcome to being physically disabled, autistic (which I only figured out at 31) and on blood pressure meds that make you never know when you are going to sleep.. getting a job is pretty much impossible, so I have no money to do ANYTHING.
one of the best videos yet reminds me of my old buddies just chillin out the shop I miss those days
You can flushmount a scizzorlift into the ground so it's just a piece of floor when it's not in use.
Dig the style of the spare more than those Forgline wheels. 15x7 Rallye Wheels would look cool :-) Or maybe some AR Torque Thrust D
EVERY JACK FROM H/F:
Take all wheels off, grease EVERYTHING, put all back on. Medium locktight on adjusters for swivel casters.
And don't forget to top off the fluid.
If you are looking for a good wheel repair place I would recommend Metro Wheels & Accessories. It is a family company and they do good work.
Richard Bennett thanks for the tip.
@@FinnegansGarage Enjoy Las Vegas. The EGGSLUT is the best quick inexpensive breakfast I found.
@@FinnegansGarage do you think that the rim is repairable? I'm in a similar situation but was thinking I was going to have to buy a whole new set of rims.
dig the shop Q&A...we need more of this.
Now we know why he has so many ramp trucks... Tough luck buddy.
6:27 You know it’s a sketchy bodge when one part of the Roadkill masters themselves is even a little taken back! Lol!
Is the car build for a road course is this why it has lot of part to help handling? Verynice ride all the way around
The wife: I didn't sign my rights away so this can't be published.
Finn: Oops
BOY I KNOW WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING AT...DOWN BY THE RIVER...SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE WITH CHRIS FARLEY....That is l think the funniest skit l have looked at he was really funny....Sad that he is gone.....But hay that stuff kills...thanks..!
I have a beautiful 1967 El Camino, full 4 link and pro roll bar, rear end, trans, 15x14 rear rims. I live in Orange, Ca. Cancer has put this project on indeffinate hold. Would you consider using it as a test bed for your engine projects? I have a auto 4 speed trans. set up for 1000 hp. The frame should be good for 2000 hp. It's too nice a car to let sit.
