    Luke, you're the nicest guy on the planet. Such a good, calm, tranquil nature - commendable. Man, I LOVED seeing all those old rides. The WildKitty was fantastic, especially since it's a rare 2-door. The field of old Cadillacs was spectacular. I love a 57-58 Cadillac and all the other old cars there. It's wonderful that you guys are so interested in the vintage American cars! Pretty much had enough ricer action for a while. The '67 F-100 Shorty, oh my God. Praise the lowered! Thanks again buddy. Loved it when you guys welcomed your buddy to America. Wish you lived closer! Appreciate all your hard work and passion buddy.

      @@ThunderHead289 If you drive a v8 daily, get a rear under 3:1 at least. driving old cars is green but you can do can burn a lot less fuel daily than that. Don't just completely write off green because old cars don't have a green rep. Old cars are far greener than their reputation, but not 4.5 rear, v8, 4 seaters. That kind of torque can drive a 15 seat church van! or more! You can rig that, but not daily (unless you average about 2 miles per day, then OK).
      Also, If you want handling through cones, put that battery in the back. That should be performance step 1 for rwd v8s. Gets you out of the mud too.

    I love the cars. I have the same car as Kevin, '66 Wildcat Sport Coupe, only with the 45 Nailhead. Great cars. The RotStang did great, especially considering it was the one supposed to die on the tour. I did cringe a little at the burn-outs, but, maybe that is because I recently got my 'Cat and am 57 years old. My Wildcat is a "Personal Luxury Vehicle" and has a complete interior. It needs a paint job but, everyone to their own tastes. Some love the patena, I love fresh paint. As long as you love your cars.... all is good! Thanks for the videos!

      ThunderHead289 Thanks ... all is well, Thank God 😃. Guess what my Holley 850-cfm issues was ... I even sent my Holley out to get rebuilt/modified ... got it back from the shop ... it STILL dumped fuel out of the boosters WITH THE MOTOR SHUT OFF?
      The shop NEVER changed my Needle and Seat Assemblies!
      One day, my instincts told me to go downstairs in the garage ... remove the front/primary Needle and Seat Assembly, and inspect it upstairs and do some online research on Holley carbs. As I had the Needle and Seat Assembly in my hand ... flipping it upside down and back ... IT STUCK.
      I blew into it full breath ... it STILL stayed stuck. The secondary Needle and Seat Assembly was the same ... getting stuck ... with aluminium shavings I found INSIDE the old/original Needle and Seat Assemblies. ☹☹☹
      I changed BOTH ... no more fuel pouring into the intake manifold from the boosters WITH THE MOTOR SHUT OFF. 😃😃😃👍🏻👍🏻
      I Gotta Thank God. 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏽💪🏽😃
