    Hey Derek, Cleetus was having the same issues with nuts and bolts. He actually made a video on the guys that helped them . It's a well thought out system. They got QR codes for each nut and bolt so when you run out of that certain bolt, you simply scan it and it re orders it. Get in touch with him, I'm sure he will put you in contact with the Nut and Bolt guys. It's the best system I've ever seen to be honest. And they LEGIT have every nut/bolt ever made. It's quite unreal. Even go watch his video, might be on the cleetus2 channel if not the OG channel.

    I have 2 girls myself. They got to be kids, young teens, sub adults and now full adults, well adjusted and living happy lives. With great childhoods they often talk about among their friends. Boating, traveling, over landing, work for money, loved, cherished and listened to. Never did me or my lovely wife ignore their thoughts and concerns and dreams, we encouraged everything they wanted to do, advised them, never TOLD them what to do, we let them make choices, this lead to good choices, well thought out. They live that way today.
    Thank you.
    fathers need to have been kids to understand what kids need. Derrick your one big Kido. Glad to be able to view your work. thank you for the time you give to us Subscribers. really thank you.

    Thanks for the mid-week update. Man, Derek has one heck of a fellete. I'd love to get my wife to help me do projects like that, but her mechanical knowledge only consists of putting a fuel nozzle in and pumping gas (barely). A guys tried to get her interested in the learning but she's got no interest. She helped me once put a steering box in my truck and all I asked her to do was hold the box up while I put the bolts in through the backside. And a guy learnt not to ask for help again.

      My wife was the same and we have been married almost 34 yrs., She would help me in the garage on auto repairs upon request only pretty much when I needed an extra pair of hands, but always checked to see if I was hungry or needed anything, no complaints here, just traditional husband and wife roles.
      Then, the last dozen or so years (she us a career High School Science Teacher), we have mentored High School Robotics students together...I took a direct interest in her career and once we did mechanical work together that long, on this last New Year's Eve, I was watching One of the VGG vids, and SRC, Old Man's Garage, TJ at Cleetus' X-Mas tree race, and she popped the question..."Do ya miss it?"
      I said "miss what?"
      "Do ya miss Drag Racing?"
      "You bet I do!" I simply said. She said, so let's do something with that race car in the garage, I will help! See, she saw Jessica and Derrick working together and smiling because they were accomplishing things together, and still smiling!
      She was a trooper pulling that block with me a few weeks ago, and would not let me go today alone to drop off the patterns for cutting at the metals place, or the hardware and auto parts store run, and the machine shop checkup visit alone...Wants to stay fully engaged with the build, and even while she is school/teacher busy as I make progress each day, she comes out right away upon arrival home to check up on what new thing was accomplished, and wants to be filled in on the next step, and if she has a spare moment, gets her hands dirty.
      She learned it is fun to step into it together!
      Good luck on getting your spouses involved, but show them this video, maybe it will also happen to you!

    "The LS is the future of hot rodding." Caused me to smirk as I continue to work on a flathead Ford while watching a Tesla run 9's at Sick week.

    loving the build. I also just now discovered what the LS engine is all about and have this "where was I 20 years ago" on those.

    I just did a similar install myself. You're probably going to find that after your intake is on, the oil pressure sender doesn't match the harness... Hopefully this finds you in time 🤠

    Pure AWESOMENESS! Can't wait to see this rig riding down the road! Also, an easy way to remove that tape is with a heat gun, then wipe it down with some solvent like Acetone, comes right off! A Feller needs to get him a P.E.B., Pre-Expended Bin, googleize on that, you'll know what I mean!

    add a little heat from a blow dryer and the tape will come off easier.

    Well I can't believe I just grinned for 33minoots and 39secondaiz, but I gotta believe it 'cause my face hurts. Now I know these vidyas are supposed to be eggucational, imparting mototechnical knowledge 'n all, but I could listen to Derek's musings all day long on any subject under the sun, cold snacks, the price of hay, wonder what Tanya Tuckers doing etc. just love his comedic genius, perfect timing and the superb editing.
    Oh and that hug melted a feller's heart! Happiness all around. 😎👍

    Looking good, Derek! Cool to see Jessica again as well! Suggestion: When the costars come in, maybe put their handle up on the screen for a moment. I'm not sure if Jessica wants any more socials going on, but could help the LittleGrip following. I am out in the shop with a cold snack and your video was entertaining as always. Keep up the good work, Sir!

  • @rogersmith3960
    @rogersmith3960 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Looking good. I like how you anticipate options down the road. Small block is the way to go for a fuel sipper. Sequential turbos is the way to go for a little more Getty up and be mindful of gas milage.

    Derek, on your fuel system. Look into the summit LS swap filter regulators. They work great, instead of having to mount one on the inner fender
