Basically everything by the book, no guessing.” 😆 Love you guys!

Never mind, without some insulation it is going to be too hot or cold for any self respecting crested flycatcher. Had to do a little edit, I don't want my comment to come off as critical or mean, just teasing, considering the handicaps imposed it was a great job, better than most of us could do for sure.

I know there have been plenty of suggestions before now that Matt should have to measure everything but maybe to spice it up he can do it all in metric?

      Tom's birdhouse will have sold by then, so I suggest the following:

    A friend and I bought a 1996 GMC C2500 ext cab with no motor or trans and he bought a totalled 2005 Chevy Suburban with the 8.1. It was obliterated in the rear..she looked like she was rear ended by a mack truck doing 70mph. The frame was f***ed as well. So, we did the right thing and put the 8.1L into the GMC. I had forgotten that Matt has the same motor in this truck. It reminded me when i saw the motor in the vid.
    We just got it all in and fired it up yesterday.

    Matt is a master of making things work, especially if he can tweak things as he goes. So I think his challenge should be building all the parts to detailed drawings, and not allowed to reposition or disassemble any parts once they've been connected. Bonus points if he uses the most appropriate tool in his shop for each process.

    Got a tip for yall, If you are welding long lengths on any material its a good practice to stitch weld then switch to the other side and stagger your welds. If you need a full weld, come back after it cools and fill the spaces. It will help with the warpage. Yall are killing it with the wrecker!! I love the recovery rope too
