    As someone who lives in Alaska, oil pan heaters are very common. Its called winterization. Very necessary when the weather can get to -50°.

    Ah, memories. Once when I was destitute and homeless, someone gave me a free Volvo if I could get it to start. Which was not the biggest problem, it was just the transmission interlock, I bypassed it and it started right up. The biggest problem was that it had been rear ended which destroyed all the lights. It also killed the headlights somehow, no idea why. I affixed trailer lights to the bumper, went to wire them in, and discovered that someone had snipped that entire part of the wiring harness off. No idea why. Anyway, I'm homeless, got $20 to my name, very limited tools, no multimeter. So, I wire them all to toggle switches that I mounted in a piece of cardboard and taped to the dash. Got fancy and had a three-way toggle with a blinker relay for turn signals. I had to screw a giant button to the brake pedal to get those lights working. Did this all in an Autozone parking lot, I might add. Lived in that thing for like 6 months and put 10,000 miles on it.

    In my aviation mechanic days, I was the primary focal for doing wiring/electrical jobs.
    1. Nobody else had the patience/or enough understanding to go through a wiring diagram that sometimes stretched through 13 pages of 11x17in paper.
    2. Nobody wanted to touch it, being afraid to short something out or get zapped.
    it was quite satisfying in the end, when you're updating an older small airplane with more modern avionics, and you end up with a ton of dead wires that you cleared out, left over from several previous avionics changes.

      On the modern jets, the electrical system packs a wallop, but my bread and butter at that time was in General Aviation (Cessna 172s, Beech Duchess, as high as Cessna 414), so i worked with 12 to 24 volt systems. Though it would still tickle a bit if you touched the wrong wire by accident.

      A rodent ate into the wiring of my BMW years ago - that was a $700 fix. If rodents can do that sort of damage to a 12V system, imagine what sort of damage they would do to an EV with their high voltage systems. Probably would have more visible fried rats around the car, I suppose, but even partially chewed but still functioning high voltage cables will be a major safety problem. I wouldn't want to be in a car with a 700V system with shorts in it.

He carbon fibered a roof, converted it to all wheel drive, 3D printed material and CAD designed parts he needed and painted the car and is working on a custom dash. He's not haphazard and currently has the car running. Know your source material and check out his build first.

    So, the magnum with a hellcat. That guy was in progress when you pulled up a clip. He could have had a very detailed home-drawn schematic he was using for that spaghetti mess he had. He mentioned he was preparing to loom it after he got everything routed. (not how I would do it, but if it worked for him, I can't fault it) Also, he mentioned that he "tacked in" a steering shaft, this is very common to do just to get something to your dino appointment. It isn't permanent, but He needed it to hold together just for one dino session and then, once returned home, he'd final weld it. I love seeing the usual butchery, but, in that case, I'd say hold judgement until you see the finished product. It may be MUCH nicer than you think since you were seeing it mid-process.

    One of my worst wiring nightmares brought a car that had a turbo model engine put in a base model, to only realise there was 6 harnesses spliced together inlc two separate main fuse boxes - after spending way to much time to get things working, i worked out i could of brought the body/engine harness from the later model and would of only needed to change about 4 plugs to make it work correctly (obviously who of had to take interior out and body panels off but would of been so much quicker)

    Great to see Aaron!! And just so you guys know, that one vid with the heater pad on the oil pan that all was actually a pretty standard winterization setup for cars in frozen climates. I live in Fairbanks Alaska and you’d be absolutely screwed in the winter when we hit -40F if you don’t have those installed. Typically includes a block heater, oil pan pad heater, battery pad heater or battery trickle charger, and sometimes a transmission pan pad heater. Without em any vehicle, especially diesels and any small car newer than 2010 usually, will not start due to cold and if you’re lucky enough to get it started, just like you mentioned about oil on the high performance use, there’s metal on metal contact and you’re trying to move cold molasses to the top of the engine thru a straw.

    One thing I learned from working as a mechanic, Wurth has a great lubricant called HHS 5000, and what one of the senior mechanics said, mice absolutely detest it for some reason. So if you have a rodent problem, just spray it here and there to make them stay away

    I have seen some wiring nightmares in my time. The worst was a sound system install. I had a friend who had a sound system installed by a “professional”. They routed the power wires for the amps under the car to the frame rails and drilled a hole in the floor. The amps were zip screwed into the floor board above the gas tank and one went through the tank. They cut the harness to the stock amplifier and programmed the DSP wrong. The sound system company ended up refunding him and giving him a full new set of speakers just to keep him from suing them.

    Back in the 1990s, I self-installed a Crutchfield car alarm out of yearning to protect and safeguard my '91 Geo Prizm with a sweet (based on my revenue stream at the time) Alpine CD / tape adapter deck.
    I got more than a few notes from my neighbors because I had unwisely decided not to install the ground wire on some static piece of the car's chassis, but rather took this stranded wire and stuck it under my driver's side seat.
    Just why ignore electrical, brothas.

    That oil heater is something I would see occasionally when I worked in Ottawa, often on cars that came from Northern Ontario or Quebec, where it gets cold enough to need an oil heater as well as a block heater.
