The patina
The carbys
I'm glad someone wants to take your country back from china. Fill yer boots man!
"Ya tune it with a screwdriver, no need for keyboards or any of that crap!" My favorite part of this car.
Uniqueness and Carbs
Mighty car mods did us all a favour by introducing Al to the CZcams world. Such a highly knowledgeable person.
Couldnt agree more. Turbo Joda forever :D
It was Sam eyels for me 👍🏼
A true legend. You are so appreciated, Turbo Yoda!!
An Roadkill did us a favor by introducing the world to Mighty Car Mods

That's some bad hat Harry.
It's a mint hat.
I've been supporting the channel since the beginning (my name is on the lift) , but its hard to see this stuff in the videos. The original source of the phrase is racism about as simplified as you can get, which means of course it appeals to ultra-nationalists with concepts of purity or 'good old days.' Its just about destroyed America at this point, what's the harm in destroying another country too? Cool concept, build, and ride, just sad that anyone could think that hat is anything but anything but a packaging of the wearer into communal rage for profit. It ain't my mates, ain't my channel, ain't my build, ain't my anything but it still tarnishes it a bit
@@djcommie
Don’t let the door hit you, Comrade.
Ye I was pretty disappointed to see Tim’s hat to be honest, pretty revolting stuff
The fact its hard to start adds to the rat-rod-ness of it. Sparking too early and stalling the starter takes me back to my youth.
I remember when Alan said that he didn’t like superchargers and we all know how that turned out.
Al is a couple years away from building a carby car "for the nostalgia"
Really love this car, he has done so well, exterior and under bonnet are just perfect
Love it boys, you guys are killing it😁😁
I love this set up so frigging much, keep at er bois
that's an absolute beast. I love it. good to see the carbys, makes it look old school and I'm into that look so awesome build 😎 👌
Love the cruiser ..Two big thumbs up ..
Tim is a legend!
These intros just keep getting better and better. Good on ya Woody
I love this beast. SO cool.
Love the car review style vid 💪💪💪
This is really cool
Love this thing gotta dig those carby's 👍🏻😜
Even has the authentic 45 squeaking steering column
Awesome build imo
An ex Holden owner and current carbie user
That’s a very cool old truck.
I liked the bit when the stuff Al said would happen, happened.
The kid is also now saying, “I am the Captain now”, so thanks for that Woody.
WoW.... I love that truck... 😍✨🏁
Awesome driver project!
That thing is sick!
It's hilarious the number of looks this thing gets in the pick up line at school. Fits right in with the soccer mum's land cruisers and Teslas.
Genuine cruiser, the only way🤠
4:40 Ahahaha, I see a bit of lemon squash was involved in this build :D
That thing is amazing
Awesome!
Love it !
That ending 😂
Very cool! =)
Mate just come across your channel and its great keep up the awesome work 👍
Love it. Lowered Cruiser.
That's the way to dot it! Skidsss right on start.
Love the lowered "truck" look, a new take on what has been done before being a Tojo. A for a Rat Rod, take it or leave it, it is still cool whatever way.
🤘 Carb 🤘
Diminishing art
Great bus 👌👍
The Blandcruiser is anything but. I dig it.
Found this build just when he got it started... been a dream to build one of these , currently have a 77 fj45 and vy ss donor car but no space to start yet
Love love love this heart breakers
Lols it sounds like a Dying Freight Train LMFAO
Beast
Thats cool as !
That starter motor is a champ 😂
Really digging the intro these days.
Ask Tim about his green Gemini days , haha
Today on the skid factory Alan speaks about rats, woodie laughs behind the camera and Tim agrees racing equals a blown motor
Love the build. 👍for doing something different.
The 'make carbies great again' comment made me laugh. I despise them, give me a laptop and a table any day vs fiddling with a screwdriver. First and last carburetor I rebuilt, the float stuck open and I melted the air cleaner because of the fire from it dumping too much fuel.
EFI is good..
Would you say the same while you custom wire up a v8 engine, while you could "just" slap a carb on top? Everything has it's pros and cons m8. ;)
@@herrvonschmollhausen But that's not at all what happened here, he removed (part of) a perfectly functional EFI system and then added carbs. Pretty sure that's more work whether you prefer keyboards or screwdrivers.
When you have an intake fire, the easiest thing is to crank the engine and suck the fire inside the cylinder where it's supposed to be 🙂👍
Give me a Mechanical diesel that starts first tick, runs the same every time.
Doesn’t catch on fire.
And can never flood.
Why would u want 1/4 mpg and hard to start+ fuel that evaporates away.
Is beyond me
I spotted a similar FJ45 in Port Pirie SA a couple of weeks ago. Had SA rego plates on it.
I can tell al really loves carbies
Bloody AWESOME video boys :)>>. Luv me a tough Ute !!! And not why. Why not :)>>>>
The best sounding LS I've heard must be because of the carbys😁
It does sound good through the intake.
Nice
Old Timmy was abit camera shy 😂
Moving the engine back 300mm, means it's almost behind the front axles, so does that mean it could technically be classed as a mid engine...? A bit like Jared from Wrench Every Day's Johnnie Rev? I'm sure it helps it handle better as well. Cool concept for a vehicle, although not too sure on the carbies. I've got triple side draft carbs on a 265 Hemi in an old Valiant and man it's a pig to start if it hasn't been driven for a couple of weeks. I can empathise with the clip of attempting to start it at the KFC carpark at the end - the pain is real!
It's been executed nicely. I'd say its @DavidFreiburger aproved.
FABRATS!!!!! you need to check them out!!!!
I love fj45 and this looks sick what you’ve done with it
I didn't want to like it... But I love it & hate myself for it 🤙🤘
In a good way 😜
Oh she sounds mean! Lovely
Cool finally some 4by shit again 👍, keep more of them coming..
very cool ride, I wonder if there is a troopy out there in a similar style?
There’s one in Hobart I believe.
Fj datto nice 👌
You would have an even "rarer" rod using a Patrol cab....
@@JohnSmith-yv6eq owner has a fj20 powered Darsun 1600

Saw one of those "1600"s with the Rover V8 in it as a rally car in Timaru, NZ, some 40 years ago.
Road registered....went very well......
Also a Datsun 120Y....
with a Hillman Avenger Alpine (duplex chain to cam)
1600 engine....turboed.
It could leave skids marks from both rear wheels up to 3rd gear..and break the tyres loose momentarily on acceleration at over 100mph.
To keep the engine together @ 8000rpm he made solid billet steel rockers....
all done before electronic engine management in the late 70's/early 80's.
painful or not, it's a cool looking bit of gear! engine looks awesome. "make carbys great again" would make a great t-shirt????
Reminds me of a Red hat I saw in this video: Make Australia Great Again
😆
those breathers are dual use! take one out while you are fixing the carb again and I think you could put a lemon squash in there
A badass bogan-mobile !! I love it !
edit: When someone asks "Why ?" you tell em the answer is "Why not !"
15:10 😳 Tom Hardy BRONSON 😂
Booster looks like a third gen Surf/4Runner unit. Don’t ask me how I know what they look like. Had a few Centric boosters go out on my 4Runner (US Surf with the nicer tailgate) and boy, was that ever fun!
Not hard on the right hand drive surf's :P
I bet she is a real mad house when the RPMs are high.
That's a Land Bruiser!
Up the mighty carbs!
Al and his carby's. lol
more of the FJ datto please!!
Datto=Datsun and would be an even rarer cab (Patrol) to put on that chassis...
Fj20!! get the Dato out!!!
Should paint some fake grass brown and do a head liner lol
Holly carbs are the best but sadly are not good for keeping the tank full but are good for Ethel also
That is an extremely desirable car....
I need that so i can fab rats my own like fab rats. cheers boys
What’s the story on the Datto? For sale?
Do a feature on the Siggy-Butt-Brain!
Im sorry, hilux surf diff? Being a surf owner and on my 4th diff center ( now running a harrop e locker ) with only the factory 3ltr turbo diesel. i wish you luck with how long the surf diff is gonna last behind a ls 🤣. Cool build tho. Love your work 👌
We need the backstory on Al’s utter hatred of carbys. 😅
He has owned and driven cars with carbies on them. That is the backstory.
As someone old enough to have owned cars with carbies I totally understand and share the hate. Carbies and mechanical point distributors are the devil.
@@Hartbreak1 I'm old-ish too, but I don't mind a device you can fix with a screwdriver. 😁
The quadrajet in my 1968 Cadillac DeVille convertible seems very reliable and i'm getting 18 liters per 100 km with a 1300 kg caravan going 80 km/h... If it ever fails i might look into an EFI replacement. Starts up fine with one step on the gas (acc pump) when cold and with just the key when warm.
EDIT: The Cadillac has a 472 cubic inch / 7.7 liter Cadillac big block with 10:1 compression and 375 hp/700NM, although that's the old american gross hp. The power should be more like 275-300 at the crank, the torque is pretty impressive though and it jumps off the line pretty quick for 5.75 meters of american steel at about 2200 kg.
You have a Cadillac DeVille and use metric - an unusual combination.
@@user-fs3dg1po2z I'm in Sweden and I'm commenting on an Australian channel :)
Needs a 2k barra
@@SHOCKcustoms Sure doesn't =D
My 82 caddy gets 3-4liters/100km
Need to show off his Dato, no 4 cylinder will ever compete with the sound of an Fj20 or the aggressive torque curve
They're kinda a forgotten engine. Like the ca18
And what's better than two carbies? Two carbies and a non-return valve :D
Timmy!
I hope the hat was meant to be ironic or something.
Aussies like a piss-take...
MALS is another one
Make Australia Less Shit....
Hey guys , loved that episode! Made me laugh because I’m just putting a ( another) SBC ( stroked dart) into my 40/80.
Mines a dual cab with suicide doors ,5 speed, and tray back!!
Had to laugh tho because my SBC will have a big mother blower with two carbies!!! Same as Timmy- I was warned , but I just like the old school!!!
Hide the port injectors and use them for starting?
Switch them off when the engine runs?
What was the process in getting an LS with carbys passed ?
Well the chassis is from the 70s and the cab is even older so I don’t think it’d matter
Hard to tune a Carby.
Lmao 😂
I herd a gecko the same as ones at my joint are u guys near tweedheads
Sunshine coast, plenty of them here.
FabRats = American rock crawler cousin
Looks like me mates old drag truck but it ain't chopped funny
It's practically a mid-engine supercar 😂
🤣Please forgive me but knowing you,cuz last time I mentioned the LS you kind of snapped at me got all pissed off.so I bet you wasn't happy when you first started off with that LS🥴😎✌️
The carbies, ofc. Look, you guys need to get hooked up with David Freiburger & Steve Brule & overcome your fear of carbies for good. A properly set up carb starts instantly, and that induction sound cant be beat 😋
Doesn't matter what carby you put on a manifold like that, it's going to have issues.
should fit a holley sniper system, looks like a carbie but better.
Carbs make more power
Hide a port injection system inside the huge arse manifold and use that just to reliably start the engine...then auto switch it off (say using manifold vaccum switch) for running on carbies mode???
Carbies make me cry
I showed this to the missus and said I want one, she said shut up you clown
Doesn't sound like a Texas Speed BFD cam 🤔
The BFD has a lot more chop in everything Zac from Hoonigan puts it into as it was a Zac & Texas Speed design together.
