Hoovie keeps buying Ferrari's, he had to get a Ferrari expert in there
And he seems to be really calm. That's the most important thing working on Ferrari's 😂
Props to Daniel, he jumped right in to get the car up in the air. Looks like wizard got himself another good guy for the shop.
Thats what the Red Bull pit team does in the off season.
I like Daniel already
@@Olhado256 he has honest hard working man vibes
Daniel's mom is posting again.
Love the new guy jumpin in. One of those rare ones that is ahead of rest. Cool you noticed as well. You probably employe people. You get it.
Hoovie, my Grandfather gave me some really good advice: "You never quit paying for cheap!" Do the valve guides now since you have already paid for the engine out!
Has anybody ever mentioned your brilliant filming? Some top one takers. From total to medium to close-up and back in one fluid motion. Exactly when the Car Wizards starts to talk you zoom in on him or on the right carparts, no sudden moves, great flow while having a coherent conversation! One could easily forget you do all the filming yoursef. Great work Tyler!
czcams.com/video/nFmobE3LMZM/video.html
and I keep telling you Hoovie, as soon as you hit a million miles, you NEED to Contact Cummins with that engine's Serial Number (ESN) to be inducted into their Million Mile Club!
don't contact dodge....they'll want to buy it and figure out how they messed up! lol "we cannot have engines that last a million miles".....
@@muskokamike127 dodge didn't make the engine.
@@muskokamike127 nah, they'll probably just film one of their "Long Live Ram" commercial spots.
@@muskokamike127 Dodge didn't build that engine...
I thought you would get a Viper for it.
17:16 Wizard pulling weapons out when Tyler tries to walk away without paying his bill is a welcome addition to this channel.
was half expecting tyler to just go, thats not a knife
yeah pulling knifes on his #1 customer lol the Christmas spirit
Ha! Yep, I agree. And, I helped pay this bill with my eyeballs.
Gotta put gas in the Yacht....
That wasn't a knife. Watch JohnRoss and Gabe's shenanigans working on the Geo Tracker to see some funny bits with knives.
The Superbird being "unfinished" does not really surprise me. Mopars were soo hot in 2006/07 and climbing when the restoration of that car started, even missing its original drivetrain a hemi 4 speed aero car with a 'lil racing pedigree would have warranted a big money restoration. A restoration that made alot less sense to finish off after the '08 crash with either the money drying up or the car bleeding too much value and sold to an investor in '09 who did nothing with it but wait for it to appreciate into a profit.
czcams.com/video/2GNpcsCUQvs/video.html
The whole real vs fake thing is so funny to me. It's like a kit car Cobra versus an original. The better car if done up right would be the modern kit Cobra. If you want the experience of what an original was like then by all means spend million/s on one. If you want the better car to drive you can spend 5% of that.
It more like you are buying a story versus buying a better vehicle.
@@discgolfdetails9889 5% isnt going to build you a very good kit car either. I've been there, and 5% isn't a realistic number at ALL.
@@davelowets I've seen used ones sell for 50K. Sure you can spend 100-150K, but it's still probably worth 50K done.
@@discgolfdetails9889 $50k out of $150k is 33%. Still much more than 5%
The issues on the superbird are extremely common. As someone that has worked on a ton of restored cars I found that a large number of shops either lacked the knowledge to repair the vehicles they restored they could make them look pretty but that is where it stopped. The other scenario I came across was owners electing to do the finishing to save money and would get it good enough to go to the parade but never finished things. I couldn't count the number of aftermarket a/c systems and little stuff like electric windows and seat controls that never worked.
Yep, pay for cosmetics... and tinker at home to finish it.

*raises hand*
I worked in a classic car dealer as the ONLY mechanic for a pool of about 50 cars, 30 in and 30 out a month. I'm surprised that Superbird wasn't sold by my ex-boss. Specialized in '70 Chevelle SS, tried to not touch anything else unless it made a fat profit. Which meant it was a cheap piece of shit with lipstick on it. Old American cars post restoration are the worst things in the world to work on, it's so rare to find them done right and proper. It's funny that the survivor cars he rarely bought were actually the best cars out of the lot. Says a lot about most restoration jobs...
He complains. Way too much..these are small problems ,indicative of mediocre mechanics . You have way too much money I say. I’d never work for you..
You could not have said it better, it looked fine cosmetically but few things didn’t work.
I’m surprised Hoovie didn’t separate this video into two separate videos lol, these two are awesome standalone video topics
Kill 2 super birds in one stone 😂
The longer the video the more money he makes, 1 20min vid pays more than 2 10min videos. Notice how its just over 20 min other CZcamsrs do the same
I’m happy it’s like Christmas
Actually I loved the way it went, 348 was such a surprise it was just a hose. Felt second hand relief.
No wonder it's Hoovie's favorite car.
Shh youll ruin it for us all
This episode of Hoovie’s Garage is like playing Country Music backwards: all the bad things are reversed. Your girlfriend forgives you, your truck starts working and your dog comes back. The 348 was just a hose, the Super Bird is better than expected and the Million Mile Cummings is clean inside. Don’t forget to get dog food.
lmao
Cummins , not “Cummings” lol
@@cameronsienkiewicz6364 I'm Cummings
so we get hammered with bourbon for ??????? everthings fine, ok i am fine with that;))
Hey Jack, spoiler alert next time please lmao 😆
On the superbird I think they ran out of $$$ during the restomod. So they just threw it back together hastily because the money ran out. That explain good paint (early on the restoration) but bad panel gaps on the nose cone (toward the end).
That’s a good theory
Those late 60's early 70's Dodges and Chrysler Vehicles never had good panel Fittment even when they were new.
Totally agree. Not hooking up the horn/speedometer cable and driving with that awful noise from the air compressors indicate someone fell out of love with it.
@@MJTAUTOMOTIVE Which Yankee car manufacturer has ever had good flush, gap, fit and finish?
They are infamous for the opposite.
I also think an owner may have burned a bridge with a shop previously and they just didn’t bother to finish it properly.
BE SMART, NOT DUMB this time! Don't be a HOOVIE! Get the valve guides done while the engine is out. Well spent money and added value to boot. Glad the Super Bird is not as bad as expected. Glad to hear the Million Mile Cummins is good to go, cheaper than expected. Glad to hear that your "Favorite" Ferrari is okay! Every once in a while even a blind squirrel gets a nut! Hoping you have The Happiest of New Years! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
agreed, have the records to show the work done properly. Worth more to the car and to him in the long run to treat the engine and car right, now.
yea, saved the money on another engine out, put a little bit towards steel valveguides
Hitting the bottle LOL and the ASSembly lube, you guys are hilarious together 🤣😂
And the flow of his pickup tube! LOL
Is the Cummings still Cumming 😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
Wizard is in rare form today.🤭
So hilarious you need to separate them with a pry bar .
The gayest automotive channel on CZcams.
That's what he uses when he presents the bill.
EVERY garage needs at least one "Hoovie customer" to ensure its survival when times get lean!!
"Thank you for your service to the auto-repair industry, Tyler!!"
lol reminds me of a post I read on reddit a while back of a comic store owner who had a "Hoovie customer" for years, then when he met the customer for the first time he insulted them greatly, the customer didn't come back and the store went under as a result.
luckily Tyler isn't pulling any knives on Wizard yet... don't give him any ideas!
I think HOOVIE keeps him in business
@@billyduffany3387 he dosnt keep him in business... But he has defently sent his business fowards. additional income from add revenue. Able to get more staff.
If tyler didnt go to the wizards he would still be a successful business
@@Local11Sam i was just being a smartass
Daniel, the new guy yanked out that ferrari motor in no time! Being a previous Ferrari-tech, it was probably just like any other day at work. He seems like he knows his stuff and he'll be a great addition to the Omega crew.
True:)
czcams.com/video/F0OjZfv7ZfA/video.html ۔۔۔
When Tyler picked up the cam belt pulley and put it back in a different place. Mechanics pet hate 😂. Daniel is a great mechanic and credit to the wizards shop
Un-hooking the speedo cable is an old farmer's trick, keeps the mileage low at trade in time!
With that car's history mileage is irrelevant. Just weird it was left unhooked
more likely the car was half-assed put together and sat
Is the speedo even tied to the odometer?
It was fully disclosed that the car is a partial re-body. Do you SERIOUSLY think a few extra thousand miles would destroy the value? And, Mr. Expert, if the seller was TRULY trying to deceive he would have reconnected the speedo cable prior to sale. Why would he leave evidence behind. Next time try THINKING before you open your mouth.
Nothing particularly to do with farmers, this has been going on since speedometers were first fitted to vehicles. Used to be able to wind the mileage back with an electric drill in reverse.
I do think Hoovie topped 100k spent in Wizard's shop this year. I admire the man's need to keep a fleet somewhat in motion.
Over double that
Wizard said it was 80k this year or something in his previous video I think it was
His CZcams revenue is plenty higher than that.
I did some research and found the Bring A Trailer ad for this car. I decoded the fender tag and it came back as a real Hemi Superbird, 4 speed car. Really nice find!
I think the point that people were making is that unscrupulous shops/owners can and do swap tags from one body to the next.
@@runner3033 It’s always a possibility
Danielson looks like he's an excellent addition to the Wizards team!!! 👍👍
I wanna see a video where The Wizard buys a beater and Hoovie has to fix it
I would like to see how many hours are on he diesel. turn the key to the on position (engine not running) and hold the trip odometer button down for about 10 seconds to display the engine hours.
Yes please! Hah. That must be tracked in an ECU though right? Wonder if it has ever been replaced.
I never pay attention to those because they can glitch and reset. Not super common but not super UNcommon either.
22.2k @45mph average , 16.6k & 60mph , not rocket science
@@andyscott0 my 2003 with 235,000 has 9250 hours. 25.4 mph avg. I understand the math but I just want to see how many hours.
@@andyscott0 Doesn't account for idle time, which diesels tend to do a lot of for multiple reasons.
Wizard: can't find the coolant leak
Daniel-san: fixes the coolant leak in 5 minutes
Also replace those bronze guides WHILE you're in there, the engine is already out, now's the time to do all the things.
RIP to that belt tensioner bearing after being steam cleaned.
I was thinking the same thing but I'm not a professional mechanic so maybe I'm wrong.
I also wouldn't of screwed around with that old harmonic damper on that Cummins engine.
Hoovie is really only concerned about that horn on the Superbird 😄😄
I thought it would sound more like the Roadrunners Mee-Meep.
😆
It's because he doesn't know anything else about it - has to hire mechanics. I have no idea why he has an automotive channel. lol
@@SirenaSpades probably because he has a passion for cars? When did being a car enthusiast require mechanical knowledge?
@@SirenaSpades where do you people come from 😂
I think Id have the valve guides done since you don't have to do a second engine out.
It is cheaper to do now than to wait and have to pull the engine again later.
@@RandomGuyDan that doesnt make a good video though , this guy seems to do things weird or backwards but its all part of his youtube channel.....
The engine will have to come out again in 5/6 years to do the belts again. They’re betting that the guides will last that long.
I would be inclined to do the valve guides as well. Peace of mind and all for him, but mainly because it's a + for when he goes to sell it so he can say it's fully sorted and appeal to a wider group of potential buyers.
He probably won't keep that car that long.
So long as we’re spending Hoovie’s money, I vote for swapping the front suspension back to torsion bars.
Torsion bars is what made Mopars handle better than the comp back then, I love Mopars from the sixties and seventies for that reason!
No, modern springs/shocks are far superior.
Hoovies putting out lots of videos but the content is still
enjoyable and informative. Not an easy task, but he pulls it off with lashings of enthusiasm. Good job!!
That one million mile car looks so much nicer than the other one I could think of.
It reminds me of a million+ mile Nissan Frontier that still looks like it's barely been used
I cant believe that there is a more or less rust free Dodge truck out there
@@JohnWayneCheeseburger it's not rust free, it has rust on the rear quarters and the drivers door bottom lol he's nuts to put money into the thing
@@pummer but that craziness is why we watch lol
Al Bundy's old dodge?
Sad thing about this Hoovie is that within 4-6 months that 5.9 will be leaking again from the same places. I don't know a single person that owns a first, second or third generation Cummins that doesn't have a leak from the timing cover or oil pan. Just the nature of the engine...it rattles itself apart without mercy.
Wizard and Hoovie are a great team and bring other very good people into the team. This is what keeps me coming back for more.
So the initial Super Bird worries have turned into minor connecting, tightening and sealing issues.
Seems that the suspension and light actuators are the only majors.
The refund of sales commision was a win
Hoovies 348 is proof that you need to daily drive exotic cars (except McLarens) for them to be reliable and work properly most of the time....you can't let any car just sit stagnant no matter how special it is.
You shouldn't daily drive any exotic car's, they are really not designed to be driven every day. Best thing with them is to run them up on a weekly basis and that's it. Mclaren car's are basically not a car to be driven much at all. Even the famous McLaren f1 road car with a BMW engine after five thousand miles went wrong. Jaguar Xk120 even says should not be driven more than 200 miles a year when it was new.
@@chriscollins550 This is pretty much it. Driven frequently, not extensively.
This reminds me that my baby, although nowhere near as special as any of the mentioned vehicles, has been sitting in my garage undriven for three years now. I took it apart to paint it, then quit doing drugs because my dad got diagnosed with stage four cancer, and I had a kid all of a sudden. Haven't had the energy or motivation to do anything about it since then... I do have three years clean this month, but I'm afraid by the time I feel like getting out of bed in the morning again (when hopefully... not if), my car will have sat so long it'll be a mess 😭
I know I am over sharing, sorry. Beauty of the internet though.. What're you gonna do about it! 😋
@@danielnelson4881 been it that same dark place two, just instead it was my brother. Sadly lost him to cancer. You know I found at first it was a fight with in my self to get back in my garage! But I then found it was my place at peace with everything away from everyone else. Managed completel E type jaguar XKE for American people. Then finished my brother motorbike he always dreamed of finishing. I will not say it gets easy as time move on! But I will say you'll find away of dealing with it in your own way. Anyway take care my friend. You can find me if you ever need to
@@chriscollins550 You're awesome man... That's all I can say to that, you're an awesome human being. Keep being awesome, because it sure is appreciated. I know you made my day!
Sorry to hear about your brother, but I'm glad to hear you finished his dream bike. That's awesome. I'll bet the first ride on that baby won't soon be forgotten.
That first depiction of assembly Lube probably what hoovies thinking he's going to need after paying the bill on the Ferrari the Cummings and the bird
And then the other car says I'm a Ferrari too wow the love of cars
Cummins*
@@clappgen5.949 autocorrect
I think hoovie is doing what a friend of mine does with his motorcoach. He doesn't have a garage for it so he sends it to the shop in the beginning of winter for repairs so it is heated and covered all winter. Hoovie is doing that with some of his fleet.
That million mile Cummins is awesome.
1,000,000 mile Cummins is probably more common than you think. Mercedes have grill badges to recognise high mileage models. A 1976 MB 240D currently claims a record of 2.8 million miles.
lesson to be learned when getting a used car, when in doubt about service records...there is not doubt...just get it serviced.
I bought a car with a timing belt date & miles written on the cover. The garage didn’t have prove but they told me it was correct. A year later the belt disintegrated and the tow truck saw what was left of the belt and assured me that was NOT replaced on time. Hard lesson. Car cost me $3000 and that belt failure made it literally worthless. The high performance interference engine was the only redeeming factor of that car.
look in your trunk for wing supports all superbirds had them
Tyler You have made my Year so much fun!
2021 wouldn't have been nearly as good as it has been without your shenanigans plus the Wichita CZcams Mafia and especially Jonny has added to this not to say that David and Elliot haven't added the laughs as well.
Appreciate you and may 2022 bring You and your Family much Health, Wealth and happiness.
I'd like to see the million mile Lexus and the million mile Dodge Cummins side by side. Maybe a drag race?
Cummins wins.
The Ram is impeccable and looks to still have value. The LS400 is worth scrap prices.
But I agree. Quickness, speed, mileage, cornering. Something measurable.
@@daviddavis1322 To be fair, the RAM has more rust and I believe has had more transmissions.
The bots are working overtime today
Fantastic guys at that workshop
He's definitely a wizard
You should be glad you have him and his staff Tyler 👍
Hoovie needs his own car trailer to go with the million-mile Cummings can't think of a better way to rack up the miles than to have a combo to move the stuff that won't move itself.
He has an aluminum car hauler somewhere
I've now done a few of those Cummins timing cover leaks. It's actually not the cover itself that leaks, but the seal between the timing case and the block. The gasket squeezes out from between the two and leaves a gap for oil.
If you have it this far apart it really wouldn't make sense not to replace the timing case gasket. All you have to do is remove the cam out the front of the engine, oil pump, water pump, and then the case comes off.
Videos have been stellar as of late! Love the Car Trek series!
Love Wizard's sense of humor...
I love that ram! I just picked up a blue 2003 ram 5.7 hemi and I love it but I kinda wish it was the Diesel but I still love mine
I wonder what the mileage was when it was sold at Barret Jackson in 2010. I bet the speedo has been disconnected for a long time.
Daniel reminds me of Seth Green. He is the master, nice job finding the leak.
EXACTLY what I was thinking! czcams.com/video/AKKGpZyWj3M/video.html
The direct gear drive camshaft has been around for a long time. Chevy introduced it on their straight 6 engine in 1929.
Gear driven cams are used often on racing engines.
They probably exceed the NVH standard for gasoline engines. That's why they're not common.
In semi-trucks they are mostly used, even here in germany, where no company wants their engines to run a million kilometers like 30 years before
IMHOP IT's a SUPERBIRD. It's an amazing color too! Just promise to drive it lots, video it lot's so those of us who can't have one, enjoy it vicariously! Stay safe and have a tremendous New Year
Happy new year hoovie!!!
The super bird was put together for a museum static display , thats why everything was disconnected and cobbled together!!
Anytime is the perfect time for a Hoovie video 👍
The million mile dodge is so clean. So clean that it looks like a low mile truck. And the super bird and with the gold wheels is so clesn
Tyler has a squirrel moment. "It's a real super . . . you got the horn fixed?"
Daniel seems like a really nice guy
"The Superbird had TONS and TONS and TONS of issues."
Reality: 5-6 basic issues that are easily fixed.
Zero content, click bait or profit from just buying a car for his collection with zero issues. 🤣🤣
@@BBBILLY86 getting worse
Makes it even worse that he complained to the auction company and got money back for basically no real issues at all
@@HVYgrandrapids eh, money's money, and the car was broken after all, just not as badly as he believed.
100%.
Love, love love this bad ass Hemi Superbird. Extremly cool and such a historical piece of art. Great purchase Hoovie and it was like giving your mechanic Cialis as he is pretty giggly to have it in his shop.
I always says that a good boss always hires good talented employees and never work with stupid or lazy employees.
What really amazes me in wizard is that he gets and gives. He was blessed with hoovie, now he is a blessing to these young guys.
I wish I could meet hoovie and the rest of the Car Trek team they are so awesome
Glad you you found the vins on the Bird, very easy to fake those. Too bad they took a real one and did what they did to it. I don't sweat replaced panels on my old Mopars either. By now unless it was in a barn and never driven they've had some damage repaired over the years.
You got lucky on the Ferrari and sometimes better to be lucky than good. Enjoy all the new toys.
Wizards new mechanic is a wonderful addition to the shop!!!
Wizard and Hoovie are systematically rebuilding the small town of Newton Kansas, one hoopty at a time.
Ya know, I really like this channel.. being a die hard Mopar guy myself I impressed with the Wizzard and his attitude. Hoovie on the other hand, he's ok.
You also really want to replace the oil pan instead of just replacing the gasket. If there's even a spot of rust on it it will eventually leak. Probably sooner then later. It's a double wall pan so the second there's a spot of rust it rusts out entirely between the two layers.
My two favourite from your collection, the Cummins and the Super Bird 👌
czcams.com/video/nFmobE3LMZM/video.html
Daniel is awesome!!!
Hoovie is awesome!!
Wizard is awesome!
Happy new year!
Just subbed today. Love your channel and quirky attitude. Fun to watch. I'm a baby boomer and love the old cars , but made me miss my 72 Dodge Charger 400 Magnum which got after getting out of the Army. My first new car. Heart still hurts thinking about it. Peace brother.
Daniel appears to be a great addition. Nice catch Wizard!,
It’s odd that the Wizard is SO busy and yet he can jump on anything Hoovie brings in.
tells you something.
Watch the VinWiki video with Wizard, he explains the whole thing. He’s no longer a service center and more of a production studio at this point.
What a great video! Today we learned that Daniel is proving to be yet another valuable asset to the team, the dynamic between Hoovie and Wizard is just as comedic as ever, the Dodge, 348 and Superbird only needed small repairs, and 12+ year old timing belts miraculously still held for 500 more miles, avoiding catastrophic engine failure.
Dan The Man got right down to business . 👍
If it's like a bigger diesel engine,check n or replace the bull gear while apart , it'd be good insurance in the long run
The Superbird is one of the most awesome cars you own!
@Hoovies Garage My favourite youtube car channel and i'm in the UK! I always relish your Wizard and Ninja visits! Keep it up Tyler! 👍
The Wizard is awesome! I like how’s he’s bringing in good mechanics from other states to work at his shop.
As a b-body Mopar owner with Rallye gauges. The speedo cables don't clip in correctly. I think that BRUTAL fixed suspension rattled it out.
Nobody cares about shaving miles off of a restomod, rebodied racecar with a non numbers matching drivetrain.
People don't go into the steering wheel to fix the horn because the horn buttons (roadrunner logo) are plastic and always break (as Wizard found out).
That thing only gets driven to a car show or two and sits
I would be interested to know what the compression is on all cilinders on the cummins after 1 million miles.
If it wasn't abused, probably pretty decent.
1:1
They are pretty stout. It's probably pretty decent.
With 30 bar in a diesel, 3 or 4bar missing isn't making any difference.
@@JohnDoe-zr6bk that isn’t exactly the question. Now is it.
I like what Matt Farah said about owning a F355. Buy one & have a spare engine to put when the other is being worked on
Just didn't want to see you get took Hoovie! You're too good of a person to see get took! Happy New Year!
People don't want to believe this is a legit Superbird. Weep weep doubters, all the history, numbers, and documentation proves otherwise. This car is a LEGIT Superbird, like it or not, cry or not.
You should remove all the vaccum reservoirs and pumps. Use electric motors from other model, to the lift mechanism to the headlights. And use an alternator with a vaccum pump, as auxiliary to the brake booster.
We have a 2005 Cummins that has almost 200,000 miles on it. Batteries just died on it thanks to a cold snap. The truck has been good overall, the only thing that has been replaced are water pumps and the ac system had to be redone a couple of years ago. The interior is not great with a small hole in the drivers seat but other than that it is a great work truck. We only have the base model though so its manual locks and windows. Would love to get the locks done because its a long way to reach across the cab but other than that its good. Tow a camper with it a few times a year and it does a good job of that.
I'm new to this channel and it's superb, love the wizard! 😀👍
Neat parts washer. I've never seen one like that .👍
Seems to function like a dishwasher. Reasonable, since they do similar things.
Make sure to do the "dowel pin of death" modification if it hasn't already been done!
I’d imagine that at a million miles, that was done a service or two ago.
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Tyler, you should make a super bird T shirt that seas "Its Real"
Isn't the "meep meep" horn just a Roadrunner thing, not SuperBird specific?
Yes !😀
I love that even the wizard can’t hide that army humor.🤣😂
Love this channel and the wizard.. Daniel-son is a great addition.
We need more workshops like this, wizard is awesome
Actually those timing gears can wear out. Takes a long time. Had replace some on a Perkins. But the 5.9 litre was also widely use in farm machinery and is a very respected engine.
Seems like a superior option to a belt though, you might get five times the life out of a sturdy metal gear than a thin belt.
@@TheRealAlpha2 10,000 engine hours plus. Some even longer.
@@ghenry85 Why doesn't everyone do it?
@@TheRealAlpha2 Short answer is cost, and timing chains(if designed correctly) can deliver for the life of the car as well. Bare in mind it wouldn't be cheap to have gears running up the engine for modern dual overhead cam setups. Heavy diesels(especially older designs) have older push rod valve trains which made gears practical. The GM iron duke engine is an interesting example of a small gear driven camshaft engine. This engine would be replaced by the 2200 engine which had a short chain and pushrods. Both engines were long lived and had favourable opinions from the public as far as durability.
Nice to see Wizard's new guy seems a bit more comfortable in front of your camera
Heeeeeeere's wizard! The interactions of you two are hilarious. Love watching this videos! Keep up the great content I'd love to go visit the shop some day!
czcams.com/video/nFmobE3LMZM/video.html
Driving it with that 2009 belt you were driving around with a grenade in the back with the pin hanging 3/4 of the way out. Good thing you got it worked on when you did.
if people are still going to chirp about the authenticity of the Super Bird, just have it certified. I'm sure Winged Warriors could steer you in the right direction.
Send it to Mark Worman at Graveyard Carz, He knows more about these cars than just about any one else. And he can restore it to show room new, it might take a year or two and a 100K plus but he can do it.
There’s a pin that needs to be welded or tighter down in those engines I believe that can b catastrophic if it falls out. Did you get it welded in or bolted down so it lasts for another million miles
Finally!!!

It’s crazy I’ve been watching Hoovie since had a bit over a 100K followers now look at him.. i knew he was soon special i always said to people who asked me “who is this guy you’re watching?” I’d always reply “Hoovie!” “
Thanks for the continued entertainment.
