I've had some pretty dumb ideas, but this might top the list! It's time to take this Chevrolet Silverado nascar style truck and turn it into a burnout rig!

My grandpa had a '46 Ford truck that had a sheller on it and one day he needed to get up on the roof of the machine shed or something and he didn't have a ladder on hand. So he took the '46 Ford and parked it up against the machine shed and stick welded old scrap pipe and angle iron onto the frame of the truck and made a mobile scaffolding/sheller. He named it Blunker. I don't know why or what it means but you talking about scaffolding brought back that story my dad used to tell. I saw a picture of Blunker and it was painted Minneapolis-Moline yellow and was worn out and beat up. :)

THANK YOU!!!! I watched the 454 Budget build, and am building the same engine for my car. I felt like I had a good handle on everything as a first time builder, until it came to the pushrod measurements. I have been dragging my feet because I didn't really "get it". After the refresher in this video, I finally understand it! Like most people, I find your videos very fun, lighthearted, and entertaining. I hope you understand how helpful they can be to those of us trying this stuff for this first time, and are a bit nervous. It was insanely helpful to finally breathe a sigh of relief over this most stressful part. It seems so simple now!

A little trick you can use if you can't get to the parts store for assembly lube. If you have some chainsaw bar oil around it'll do in a pinch. It's got a lot of tackifiers in it just like the good stuff. If I'm doing work on the lawnmower engine or something I use a combo of that and vaseline. Works fine. I usually drop the oil after a heat cycle anyway so no need to go crazy with it. Just as long as it's got lube when you start turning everything.

We love all the VGG content! In keeping with the "freedom" theme, how about a new twist with the spiders? Name the truck black widow, flat black, with patriotic red, white, blue, flag looking spiderweb. Maybe a wrap that is flat black and looks like it's peeling back in a spiderweb pattern to reveal the flag theme underneath? Also like the fact that you will be in a cage during the burnout competition. Plan for rapid escape if necessary.

@BANDITRCN28 Год назад

Great find Derek! This was built to run the (I think) Nascar Super Truck series for the local short tracks and were really great short track trucks. They did use the A body chassis and put on a jig then re-welded all the frame seams as they were usually just stitched welded then the roll cage was added to it. Here locally most had a small block V8 ford or chevy and a lot of them used a c4 automatics for the trans. This was a great short track series when they ran them. Good luck with it!

Like I have said in a lot of VGG video comment sections I absolutely love watching what you have to work on next. Keep up the great work. I am living vicariously through you while you do the builds, I used to love doing this sort of thing back when I was physically able to. I am really looking forward to part 2.

I like the "scaffolding" name idea, but the first thing I thought it looked like was a birdcage 😁 You could maybe get some paint-job inspiration from the "birdcage Corsair" aircraft?
