Today on The Skid Factory, Al & Woody Pickup their new project car that's receiving a Skid Factory overhaul.
Scott's car has been used as a Sunday driver for over 10 years and Al has always had his eye on it. The time has come to treat it to a new heart so the old Red motor is removed and the freshly built iron lion is fitted in place.
Huge thanks to all of the Companies that have supplied parts for this build!

please make the shirt "I'm not complaining. Because no one is listening"
the most skid factory thing I have ever heard.
Use Ya' Brain still wins tho :D
This is such a regular saying in the north of Sweden haha!
@@deeze67 isn't that a hat already tho? Perfect combo for skids at the rounda bout in me Ute
Congratulations Woody, you've got Al saying "Iron Lion" without prompting!!
"some of them just have a light to tell you when the engine is already melted to the ground"
i laughed way too hard
What a beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback Rumby is
my vote is more rumby in future videos and rumby merch.
@@markgallagher0000 He's mine (Al). We have had a few including a litter of 14 pups of which Rumbles was one.
@@theskidfactory Is that where you got Woody?
I'm a Rhodesian too, but not quite as cute.....
@@theskidfactory Nice. I've had many dogs in my life, but never a Ridgeback. However, they are a beautiful, loyal and protective dog. And Rumbles looks awesome. My best mate Jack is 16 now. He's a Cattle dog with a bunch of other stuff in him. He's near deaf and his back legs aren't what they used to be, but he's lived an adventurous life. Dunno what I'll do when he goes. He was the son of one of my other dogs and his mother was my soulmate's girl. He's more a son than a pet.
Really liking the drone flyover shots, nice addition
That intro was the perfect start to another epic build on this channel! I love it! :D
Al’s face at the Iron-Bru 😄 Scotland’s hangover cure.
Geez! everyone needs a mate like Al and Woody!... Generous blokes
That look on Al's face with that first drink............priceless!
My favourite thing about skid factory is that if it doesn’t need it for that particular application it doesn’t get added. Simplicity better than over engineering. Bare minimums easy to fix easy to install. Shit hot fellas 🇦🇺🙌🏽
You're not taking the Kingswood, I just ironed the mudflaps.
I just polished the dipstick!
i just Pea Beued the bumper bar
I just shampooed the battery
The cringe on Al's face when he said iron lion was priceless. Cool car, great videos guys!
Omg that Drone shot been up and down that road so many times, love the Sunshine Coast, and the restaurants at Sunny Beach are awesome especially Mooska
Sum Yung Guys is the best. *Homer Simpson Drooling*
Your not taking the Kingswood, I've just waxed the tow ball !
Lots off good times as kids in the 70's kick fighting in the back seat with my sister until the arm of calm would come over the front seat !
DON'T MAKE ME STOP THE CAR.
To anyone not familiar with it, look up " Kingswood Country" on youtube. This will give you a good idea of your average Kingswood owner/family and a great snapshop of Australian life in them days.
Agreed. Everybody had a family member like ted in the 70,s . A red holden 6 in a kingswood with vinyl seats is probably the most australian car ever built. They need to recieve a mention in the Australia Day honour list.
money on the fridge wog ......
“KINGS-Wood” - David Freiburger Dragweek 2019
The.... Kings-wood. It was pretty funny listening to them throughout the drag week cracking each other up with this joke, can,t wait for next year.
@@keevasmybitch wut its already been to dragweek?
Keevasmybitch heck yea ahaha I died every time they started talking about it
Fryingpan no Not tho car but another one was on dragweek look it up
Skid factory just got even better... workshop dogggggggg. The internet loves...... neeeds animal stars like this.
Bugger me, in hospital again....Mostly feeling ok but a bit of anxiety tonight...Had a kidney transplant 34 years ago and this visit is related to that....But just like last time i was here The Skid Factory, M C M and BCW have all been great to keep my mind occupied....Have loved all three channels since they started
YUS! taken me back to being a lil fella on long family trips in the Kingy wagon...you guys just keep on killin it-love it
Allen, your fab skills are AWESOME!! Truly amazed every time you make parts.. Great vids!!!
This is great, I've almost the same car. Hearing the 202 driving brought back some memorys
Thanks Woody and Alan. Love seeing the and custom work and effort you guys put into the builds
Delighted you guys got to taste Irn-Bru, My Favourite, born and raised on it 😂
This is hands down the best show on the internet or TV. Thank you guys for all the hard work you put in to share it with us. God bless.
I love watching these guys the information they tech us is beyond amazing thank you so much you lads have helped me so much so many times
Gaaaaahh, you guys were in AZ and I missed you?! I've learned so much about cars from you guys and MCM and very much owe my passion for cars to you. Thanks for putting out great content and hopefully I'll catch you next time you're in the states!
Props to you for paying the proper tribute to a fine specimen of station wagons. It does look well kept after. Great video. ✌️😎
Watching the guys driving through town right beside the beach makes me wanna move there. Awesome landscape
Al's face at the tasting of the lemon squash :D also my favorite tool in the world, the impact screwdriver was featured. great episode!
Project Binky reaches far and wide with bracket influence! Nik will be proud.
My favorite Skid Factory car so far! Awesome
Love the show from the start the camera work is getting better and better every show, keep up the good work 👌
I brought one of these off an elderly family member when I was a teenager.
Always wondered why the tailgate was so heavy so we pulled the inner panel out to reveal the tailgate was filled with concrete as a rust inhibitor.
Love seeing these older builds keep it up boys
Always love the tunes you boys use for your vids! Keep up the awesome work! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
So happy to see regular programming returning without bow 😍
Great to see another build and can't wait to hear it roar
Loved your reaction to full fat Iron Bru. Great show cheers James from Scotland,
good tunes good people awesome projects you guys never let us down.
Such a clean build. Engine just looks right in there.
Great to have you back
So many memories from my childhood! The seats which got to a million degrees in summer, the ribs on the tail-gate & its wind-down window, even the seals around the doors & the dome light. Ours was gold, and called 'the golden holden', twin-pipes & tips.
Hi from Scotland. Irn bru is the national drink here.
Great show boys, it was great catching up with you boys and was a shame the roll racing was cancelled Woodrigos, we were looking forward to watching the Bedford :)
Never get sick of watching you legends work 😎👌
I actually did my L plates and then P plate driving test in my parents HJ 308 Statesman Deville, same color as that wagon (Chamois?). Good memories of that old thing.
Good to see you’re sticking with the Holden V8 in his upgrade, each engine has their place but it makes a nice change.
Enjoyable video, thank you and can’t wait for the next installment
Awesome guys. Love your work inspires me to get out in my shed.
What you have is an HJ Kingswood Deluxe. That triple cluster instrument panel was standard on these, and of course the Premiers had them too. The HJ was the only one with the "fan sweep" speedo, as all others had "normal" instrument clusters
Im so glad to see you are finally doing a kingswood. I have 3 of the old girls, all red 202's with trimatics. HZ, blew the head and melted the engine to the road so to say, still got the body. HX, schmick 50th anniversary and my pops HQ 25th premier. Love the old girls so much.
Laughed at Al's "Thing" impersonation when the radiator went in!
Good on ye for getting the irn-bru on the go lads, cracking stuff!!
Another channel that gets an automatic like. Already know it's going to be good. The skid factory is the shiz. Never missed a video.
Keep up the great work Al and Woody
That motor in that engine bay 👌🏻😍 what a sick cruiser!
thank you Turbo Yoda ive always follwed yoiur channel ever since ya started as skid factory
When i was a lad the builder i worked for had 4 kingo wagons. 253 x 3 on the tree. They replaced them every 3 years, the HQ 253s gave trouble as the guys were used to cast iron intakes and the adelaide water would destroy them in 12 months
My kids used to love to ride in the 'backa back" I owned a HJ can even remember the rego number from it, even now some 35 years later. I just loved that car!!
Its so pretty! My folks had a gold one. Tan vinyl interior. No A/C. The PTSD is real.
I learnt to drive in a HQ Kingswood station wagon with a 253 thongslapper and a traumatic gearbox. In the end, it ended up getting a GTS dash and a T-bar auto with the centre console. I so miss that car and the memories and wish to get a HQ station wagon so I could build my own vision of what I wanted to do to the old girl.
A Kingswood Wagon was my first car. I remember the fuel stain running down the side. They were a PITA to refuel - kept "blowing back", and you had to fill very slowly to stop this happening. All the while the knee joints are protesting at the crouching. And 24c per litre for Super!
My parents had the HZ 308 sedan in the late 80s when I was a young fella. I still remember jumping in it on a hot north Queensland summer's day and burning the shit out of your legs. Lol
Chi3f9 nine so did mine 308, 4 speed and GTS dash.
Also bought in the late 80’s did plenty of summer holidays in it, black vynal interior made it particularly unpleasant
Ouch dude same here, and with sunburn after a day at the beach, nasty stuff.
Yeah, the buckles on the seatbelts, too.
I was thinking it was a 308, where did they get the idea that it was the American 304
@@stephenhunter70 watch the 304 build and fabulous secrets will be revealed to you. Hint: it involves getting around certain ATCC rules back in the day
Good to see a proper Aussie car on the channel. I’ve sold off a bunch of my H Series lately but kept the 2 Favourites, FLamenco Red HZ Sandman and Palais White HZ GTS.
Awesome.
Ive dreamt you do the Kingswood Justice... Thank you... Dream come true... Bring back Kingswood.
Nice too see some new tools and dacka dacks in the shed👌 maby a aircon next 😊
AL you crack me up, love the show.
I’ve always wanted a hot rod wagon. Can’t wait to see this one do some skids.
Editing is on point Woody ! 👌🏻 And Rhodesians are the coolest dogs, my family have had four. And has two right now 🙂 Just wish there were an Al to pump up the power on my 530 e39 touring 😉🤙🏻
class seeing the IRN BRU !! great vid lads !
That loom is gorgeous!!!
That’s so cool man. Turbo Yoda having an Irn Bru!!!!
And his reaction, sooo accurate.
It’s not the same since the UK sugar tax came into force.
Mind you they did remove nearly half of the 14 tea spoons of sugar in a 330ml tin.
Keep up the great work.
What a cool old wagon. Nice work guys
First V8 I ever drove was my aunties 308 HZ Premier resplendent in gold, it was so slow but sounded really good.
Told the old man I wanted a V8, he gave me an XE esp with a worked 351 and I stacked it within the week, my ass hurt longer than I owned it lol
Any shop with a Cosmo Kramer portrait on the wall is a good shop! 👍
Bro I legit felt my heart skip a beat when you sped up the video while you were dropping the tranny. I thought for a split second, your jack had shit itself and it was falling!
Hell yes. My old man had a xa falcon 500 wagon when I was a nipper. And one of these as a painters wagon
Not a V8, but an XA wagon was the first car we had when I was a wee lad too. With the wind down back window.
@@AfferbeckBeats the old seat belt buckles that were as efficient as a cattle brand
This takes me back to my dads old red hq wagon with velvet red interior thing was comfy af
Only 144k subscribers share the skid factory people these boys deserve more credit. Absolute champions
Awesome video today guys
Well done boys gee that brings some very good memories back to me,,,
As I was born in the early 70s and grew up with these cars like LJ Torry 186 triple Webber's and the old RT chargers were cool as well.
I remember back in the day the old chargers were laughed at and now the RT charger is fetching big dollar's .
Beast....well done guys. .great content
A big Lion Dog and Irn-Bru, it doesn't get any better!
My first car was a HZ wagon same colour, 202 motor, this one has nicer interior then mine was brown lol. Love this project!
The first mod I did was power steering. Not only does it make it easier to turn the wheel, it changes the ratio from 21:1 to variable 16:1
The only thing flat earthers have to fear is sphere itself!
Chris Sullivan it’s ok though, the flat earth community has members all around the globe.
@@ArKritz84 flat earthers never venture outside their bedroom.....
@@truthseeker8483 if the earth isn't round, then why are tyres round? checkmate flatearthers!
@evanjfraser The world isn't round, it's an oblate spheroid, and one of my tyre IS flat. Just saying... :-)
@@evanjfraser mine are square
Love the sunny coast, miss it heaps.
Same here, used to live on Bribie Island and often visited the sunny coast, many memories!
Amazing job Al!
Nice to see my country's national soft drink featuring!
centre punch studs @ 24:40 ive never seen that before, cheers ill definitely find a use for that trick
"It's got, like, a carby. Remember those things?" 'Nup' 😁
I was born in '85, my parents cars for my entire childhood were fuel injection. It helps they drove Volvos, which were more or less purely fuel injection since the mid '70s. The only carbureted vehicle I had to deal with was the pickup truck I inherited from my grandpa, which was a Dodge Ram with a propane conversion 318 V8... the slowest damn thing I've ever driven and really sketchy to start when it's -30 degrees.
Awesome video and excellent content
Hey great video..I really enjoyed the content. 👍
Sweet build.
Beautiful ridgeback!
I love Al's welding style.
"SEMA ready!" @ 26:47
Thanks Woody :)
Wow that thing brings back memories of my childhood. I specifically remember the rear window winder for some reason.
Michael Beattie they were prone to snapping and over time the winder grinds and arc into its housing
You should call it the LION KING , Looking forward to this build
It's beautiful!!!!
Great vid boys you absolute units
The fuel injectors on my Chevrolet LS1 V8 engine in my VY Commodore are rated at 28 lb hr (294 ccs per minute) @ 58 PSI or 24 lb hr (252 ccs per minute) @ about 40 PSI,they are good for about 370 hp which is what mine puts out !
Loving the MVDBR shirt. Just send it!
