Yea, that was nice because I reeeeeally don’t want to know how much rebuilding that transmission would cost! I can handle a 6 speed all day but you lose me at 18
I love this! I want more on the build! o my never would have thought of doing this. I'm just in amazement of how much it took to get all this to work. I can just imagine the fabrication time. super cool!
Oh I’d love to get behind that wheel and take a run up through all the gears! Of which I’m sure I could master in no time at all! Love the big Cat! But a big old 8V71, would sound tremendous! Might even be quicker through the gears!
Now you can drive a semi. It's much easier(less gear grinding) when you learn to "float" the gears or " speed shifting" without using the clutch except to start off and coming to a complete stop.
+Spike Kastleman Haha I was actually surprised he let me! I had never driven that transmission before, it was so difficult to change from regular manual to this
YUKI JINJUJI lol manual isn't the problem. It's when you throw 10 more gears and no synchronizers at me I get a little lost. I'm sure if I could test more big rigs this would change but... I don't see that happening lol
Neil Bullock Don't let the haters bother you. Every one of them was a rookie at one time. Even going from one car to another requires getting used to the "new" one. It took courage to try something new.
When someone offers me keys I'm not sure that I know how to say "no" lol besides, it's just like driving a corolla...except it's twice as long and completely different in every way
+THE SILENCED SNIPER145 144 it's definitely awesome! I think if I did something like that I'd put something properly ridiculous on top of it instead of the studebaker. Maybe like an original fiat 500 or a vw camper van...
Welp since you answered so quick, I'm curious how hard it is to register a custom ride like that for street use? Toying with the idea, but still a long way from even looking for a rat or kit to build out of.
+TheP5ychojoe13 well from my understanding basically what you would do is register it as the original vehicle (depending on state laws. Some are stricter than others. You could just move to Florida. Then you can register literally anything with wheels.) it all depends on how you approach it. Most kit cars (dune buggies, factory five cars etc) use the donor vin and are just registered as kits. It shouldn't be difficult at all! Just a quick google search concerning local law will give you a great idea. Also check forums, you're not the first to try this and someone, somewhere, documented it. Give me a holler when you start the project, I'd love to see what it shapes up to be!
+TheDailyDrivinJetta Stig Not really,he was just saying he had a load of footage for him to check out,Btw wouldn't it be much nicer if that truck had an Auto gear box?..seems a whole lot of hassle to change gears.
I don't know if you saw but I linked to his video there at the end, it came out pretty good! and I think it would make it a lot more user friendly with an auto but on the flip side thats part of the charm, its cool because its not as easily accessible. It was realllllllly hard to figure out, especially if you've never done it lol
@2:10 HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A BIGGER AMATEUR ,,than this guy trying to drive a manual-stick shift ,,,,,buddy give it up - S E R I O U S L Y,,,,, better stick to an automatic,,uhm 4sure ;-(
So uh...as a “corvette stingray” owner or likely someone who drives a stick shift Honda Accord who dreams of owning a stingray do you drive many 18 speed diesel rigs? Yea me neither. Bonus Grammar round! An ellipses is usually three periods (...) placed in succession to indicate an omission of an irrelevant detail. Stacking comas in succession while not grammatically correct indicates that you were omitted from learning anything higher than 3rd grade English. If you want people to take you seriously learn to write... amateur. (And that’s how you properly use an ellipses)
