    It's amazing how far Al has come. From semi-mute Turbo Yoda who would barely speak a complete sentence on MCM while sticking a turbo... on something he often hated, to speaking non-awkwardly for a full episode about his dream build.
    Honestly Al, i love your Crown just as much as Hulkosuka, maybe more.

      ​@@RoadskiN ... Moog from Mighty Car Mods coined the name Turbo Yoda, being something of the God of one line quips. For example, I'll never forget his layman explanation for how a Honda Vtec engine works : - "... at around 3.000 revs, 500,000 unicorns all fart at the same time, and rainbows fire out the exhaust ...". I rest my case ... 🤗 ...

    As a younger man I have so much respect for Al. I know people always say this kind of stuff but it’s true, he is literally an inspiration (for me).
    He comes across as intelligent, curious, meticulous, practical and thoughtful. He talks about mental health, which honestly pretty much every one deals with to some extent in the year 2022. You can see he is clearly surrounded by many friends.
    Woody thanks so much for supporting this project in all the ways you do. Almost too many to list, I can confidently say these projects and this CZcams channel wouldn’t be what they are without you.

    Anyone who has been through the process of building a bucket list car can probably see how and why blokes sell 90% complete or even 100% complete projects for cents on the dollar. It's certainly not for the faint of heart. Big props to you blokes for seeing it through and for meeting what probably seemed like an impossible deadline. It's a beautiful ride, and it'll be a dead set *ANIMAL* on the road 💪🏻

    Thanks Al & Woody for letting us be a small part of this project. It's not every day you get a chance to machine parts like these. It was a lot of fun, and a little heartache, which makes the end result that much sweeter. If you ever catch some rando climbing under the Crown, it's just me checking out my parts! 🤪

    I totally understand where you're coming from. Once you go outside of what is commonly available or aftermarket kits, you're on your own to figure out the design and what fits, what doesn't, and what has to be fabricated. Usually there's lots of trips to the wrecking yard for research and test-fit parts, or you're making the guy at the parts store head explode.

I'll take this opportunity to recommend Hoppers Stoppers, they recently upgraded my non existent brake system on my 70 series cruiser, I could have gone down the Bendix path like most CZcamsrs recommendation however I wanted to support a small local business. Issues were encountered during the upgrade and the Hoppers team went above and beyond to resolve everything. In addition to supporting a local business I felt that Hoppers could be trusted due to the Skid Factory's positive experience with them too - I was not disappointed. Support small local businesses whenever you can!!!!
