I wish bob had his own channel that shows all his work,he explains things really well and I think he has a lot to offer people who have an interest in fabrication and drag cars.
I absolutely love when Bob tells us what he's not.. *"I'm not the electrical guru.. I'm not the Computer guy.. I'm not the converter expert."* He's Bob. So.. mmmmpf.
Bob possesses the natural skills of a communicator and as an educator. These skills, along with his hard earned race mechanic abilities makes him a great candidate for a second Bailey and Bob channel.
With an expensive engine (depends on your budget) it is always best to clean injectors after sitting for extended time periods. A few weeks sitting with ethanol (blended or straight ) fuels humidity can cause problems.
I'll get my Bob shirt at indy next month & it's the only event i can get to unless it's closer to northern Indiana & when i got enough money to drive there !
you need to put oil in that jack for the Transmission, it shouldn't jump like that when it starts to get to the end of stroke, otherwise you're doing a great job 👍
That was the air over hydraulic. That looked like they did the air part 2nd instead of first, and you have the regular jack part for when youre close and need finer adjustment. Those pedals are touchy. You really should do that part first. The bottom half is an air over hydraulic, and the top half is a normal pump up jack. The one I have is made by sunex.
it's been awhile, but ; that was a great video! I could watch Bob explain tech tips and race car set up all day long. So glad to see 2.0 coming back to life. What is that little sedan delivery/station wagon? It looks like a Nash. More videos please. Many thanks.
Without the Tender coils on the rear shocks, if it tops out and gets slack in the spring. You can loose your bottom spring cup. Highly unlikely, but it happens a lot in rock crawlers until they run tender coils. Also what you used for your removable trans cross member, might not be legal per the SFI rule book. I called and asked about them and they said NO. But no one with authority will ever see it, unless maybe you point it out in a video or something.
Man. That is really cool. I never thought of using infrared sensors to Datalog tire and track temps in real time. After enough data you could have modifiers and tables setup to give the optimum tune for the available traction. Wonder if they are allowed in nhra.
Bob sporting the Gold ICON ratchet... was that a gift from Tom? lol I also noticed the Banner Engineering ride height sensor, that's interesting because we make Fiber Optic light guides for Banner. And I enjoyed the increase in time lapse videos of the hands on work. I always felt like that was left out of the previous videos and we only got updates before, it's a nice change.
The transfer is slow and not of consistent volume. And . . . the car bottle needs to be warm to work on the car so the whole freezing to fill / heating to use is too slow. I hope you are not warming bottles with a torch.
@@Donald_Turnipyes you're supposed to run pump gas through it or his fuel system is going to have so much moisture in it it's going to be pretty much shot after a year sitting like that.. and Steve said Tom is one of the worst when it comes to maintenance he likes to just park them after Long drag n Drive events and then start them way after Steve threw his buddy under the bus lol and when you tore down his engine on camera you could see all the rust and why he should have listened caused all his valve springs to rust and start breaking methanol and even e85 can wreak havoc on fuel systems if you don't maintain them correctly
@@Rrapscallion No, it's not. I'm in Canada, and it's called Gasoline because its chemical name is Gasoline. You might use slang to call a single chemical named Gasoline "petrol" where you are, but I assure you that if you look in a chemical guide, it's called Gasoline. Here, let me google for you... *Petroleum, also known as crude oil or simply oil, is a naturally occurring yellowish-black liquid mixture of mainly hydrocarbons, and is found in geological formations. The name petroleum covers both naturally occurring unprocessed crude oil * See that? Petro(leum) is crude oil, not Gasoline. I kind of hate how places like you live bend or use a slang word and then think that it's the actual word. Let's talk Tires and the slang Tyres. Or Curb or the slang Kerb. Correct spelling versus your local slang.
@@freedomfox8183 Oh I completely agree. He's done this before. You can't leave methanol in an engine for even a couple of months without starting to damage metal and eat away at things with rubber. Even a normal car rots things if you leave it to sit for a while or worse, let it sit on the grass. Think of all those cars you've seen being sold while parked on grass because there's no other place to show them from. Water from the dew rots EV-REE-THING. But look at their program. They wanted to race the Durango so they ignored the FAST car. Steve has a problem commonly called "having too many irons in the fire". He needs more people and to grow or he needs to shrink. One or the other. Drop car and magazine things or keep rotting cars.
No worries if you watch the new tonight you would have seen the weather, it going to rain all day Friday and most of Saturday. At the track,I live about 40 min away from it
Question I have is what do you do for insurance for your drag and drives as all the insurances I have for my historic cars say my policy we be void if I participate in timed event (I.E.) drag race.
Find a better agent 😂 It's also pretty well understood the insurance won't cover the car at the track. Should be easy to get street coverage with the caveat that you're no longer insured once you hit a dragstrip.
@tombaily Sir yes it would be nice to buy a shirt but I'd rather buy one of the 55gal drum when it's empty to use as a trash can in my shop. Or better yet to make a little extra cash please do a raffle for a empty drum.
Is that a spin on "Bob the builder" TV show here in the UK? "Can we fix it?" "YES! WE CAN!" Is the usual line... 😂 I am Bob. I love to be left alone to fabricate and build cars, but everything everybody ever brings me is always F*CKED!
