Started working on the old Hooker headers to get a little more life out of them. I bolted them up tight to the heads and welded the flanges together and I welded the slip-fit tubes in place. I have always disliked the slip-fit tubes. I have never had a need to remove one of them.
I ordered some 3.5" v-band clamps and I am going to chop off the 3 bolt flanges and weld v-bands on.
I also crawled under it and cut 46000 zip ties to release the nitrous feed line, electric fuel pump wire, and the ground cable for the rear mounted battery.
I am also going to replace the 15 year old Aeroquip push lock fuel line while I am doing all this. It looks pretty sketchy in some places.

Ripped the old fuel line out. It was pretty stiff particularly up front where engine heat was most intense. I am going to cut a piece open and see what the inner hose condition is like. New hose will be here today.
The header welding seems to be a move in the right direction. The driver's side header is solid now and slipped right off without any problems. I took them back to the bandsaw and lopped the 3 bolt header collector flanges off. The v-bands will also be here today so I will prob weld them on this evening.

Keep on putting them out and people will come around. Stick with being who you are and don’t try to be like someone else. You seem very comfortable in front of the camera. I have my favourite channels that I watch regularly and learn things from them all. I’m not into the off-road 4x4 scene but I watch a couple of guys that are because they’re likeable and I learn a thing or two. You’re never too old to learn. Keep up the good work my friend.

I like your premise of 30 minutes semi-short form, but its all f-f-f-ordsDoes Youtube give you any guidance on how to work their algorithms? The professional yootoober's imply a regular posting schedule works best (ie same day of the week).
Escaped on a technicality.

He doesn't understand that I haven't made video's to gain subscribers or views, but to just show something. I'm just trying to get him to post something with thought weekly.

I just post often because I work on that stuff just about every day. I figure it's quantity over quality. Haha
I do like forums a lot. I post regularly to three different ones. Not because I'm an attention whore, but because I know forums don't last forever and sometimes lose stuff when making "upgrades".
Lately, I have begun to kinda look at videos from a legacy standpoint. I can make videos of myself doing what I enjoy and my kids and my future grandkids can watch even when I am gone. They don't have to guess what grandpa was like, because there I am on Youtube being myself. lol

No TMM today. I spent most of my time trying to find the flexplate and the starter for this car!! Turns out I had stashed them in my Raceweek trailer!
I did have time to finish up the fuel pump wiring at the back of the car. That means I am all done back there. Whoo hoo.
Almost time to stab the motor and trans in!Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.
