    The biggest thing I've learned from this channel is that attitude is almost as important as skill. I grew up in an abusive home and as soon as I was on my own, I tried to surround myself with people like this. I remember working on cars with my father and praying I did everything perfectly the first time or face the consequences. At that time I didn't know people and families like this existed. Anyway, I'm grateful for your channel and your success and another great video.

    Did a similar job on the Mustang the other week, swapped out the boring old factory center resonator for a h-pipe. All the reciprosaw fun but with the extra spice that the pipe cuts had to be made right next to the gas tank.
    I had to do it on jack stands so my cat was able to occasionally come by and give me a solid headbutt of encouragement.

    C-5 overheating can be a plugged up radiator, it’s like a vacuum cleaner,sucking up all leaves on the road and since the radiator is at an angle, they don’t fall off when you stop. Look under the front bumper with a mirror you may be surprised.

    • @SouthMainAuto
      @SouthMainAuto  Před rokem +9

      Yeah that's what it was. It was jammed right full of seeds and birds and leaves. Pretty much everything. Took almost a half of 5 gallon pal of dirt and debris out from in there. Most people don't see it on these cars because nobody drives them. Apparently they think they're special haha. I don't see the big deal. They're like $15,000 cars on Facebook marketplace. Why let it sit around, get out and beat the pants off the thing. I don't save nothing for the next guy haha.

    Best way to describe left side to people is to refer to steering, left side steering in North America, right side Europe etc. Love the show for about 6 years now. Used to watch car shows on TV all the time but the shows stopped showing the work and are now all talk and advertising so all I watch now is diagnostics and tuning videos on CZcams. Even the news is real here if you know not to watch corporate owned news. Always just been a hobbiest/racer doing repairs for friends and always been good with electronics for a self taught guy so since I retired from the government I am now doing diagnostics and programming for neighbours and local garbages and you played a major role in that development.
