      I always tell my wife…I understand that you don’t “get mechanic stuff” …if you would just sit in the garage and throw tools at me or chat with me that I would appreciate it…it is all about sharing life experiences together 😊

    When I joined the AF and got to my tech school in Amarillo. I starred at the parts that went into a jet engine!!!!!! But after a hundred rebuilds? I still looked at the TO’s. Your trannie has me saying oh my god! I can’t really build stuff without directions! Good job guys!!!!! I mean darn good job. 😊

    Hi there I appreciate your video's I am an old guy my mind is good for 3 days i usually remember where stuff goes! but when a machine shop or waiting for parts takes 2 weeks or so , pictures or videos are helpful you are not alone! most people cannot fix or repair anything. I am waiting for brake hoses for a 79 VW- now! Mr Wiese

I love your comments to those of us watching. There are always going to be those that have something negative to say but you take it in stride and brush them off. I love how great you guys work together and bring us along for the ride! Glad you are back doing what you love and providing us with great content to enjoy! Thanks so much to you both!

  • @lewismocaby3646
    @lewismocaby3646 Před rokem +1

    Y’all have done a great job. Haven’t had to tear into either of my t56’s but I’m sure it’s down the road. Did just finish going thru my Liberty pro shifted A833 though and currently setting up the Hurst vertigate linkage using heim joints and it sucks. In days past I had fox bodies all with t5 transmissions and I feel your pain screwing with blocker rings instead of brass synchros. The only vette I’ve owned was a C3 so no torque tube but if I were in your shoes I’d put down the first 2,000 easy to wear everything in together well then drive it like I hated it. That’s just my perspective though, drive em till the tongues hangin out.
    Glad you guys are in the end stages of the process. I’m sure a lot of other folks would have panicked and either went into debt to pay someone else to fix the problem or more likely have taken a loss trying to trade the car but y’all knuckled down and forged ahead. That’s a win in my book which deserves congratulations for sure. Keep up the great work. 👍
