This Will Make Racing So Much Easier ! 

It takes about 160ms for sound to be processed by the brains and 200ms for visual data. You processed the failure AND moved the throttle in 200ms (0.2s). Nobody is going to react faster then that. You might put a Strain gage on the Load that can detect torque being applied.. If the Load drops out you immediately kill the injectors. That would probably only take 50ms to respond to a failure like this..

Steve, isnt the Motorsports community just wonderful man? This is my favorite part of it. The Community, friendships, and everyone just willing to help each other out. I am so privileged to be able to be a part of such a great Community of people. Rock on!

I think it's necessary to keep digging for the root cause of the fault. Bolts broke, okay. Why did they break? Were they defective, fatigued, over torqued, wrong bolts\grade, vibration, and if so from what? Still amazed and relieved that no one was seriously injured by all the shrapnel.

I am just glad no one was hurt, engines can be replaced, a life can't.

Great to see repairs and progress on the Boostmaster

7:35 protip take some marine heat shrink with the adhesives/sealer to put on tip of your prybar with stuff like glass. Have a pair of channel locks id did the same thing on for softer surfaces.

Did we miss you tell us about the engine? What hp did it fail at and were the flywheel bolts arp or previously traumatized? Basically root cause of the failure. If you want perspective on that type of failure, watch jet engine videos of blade off tests. Truly violent and scary. The energy involved in these failures is staggering. So glad you all are ok and kudos to those pitching in to get SME back at full speed.

While you have had a string of bad luck, it’s nice to see the outpouring of support. Goes to show that good things happen to good people.

If it ain't broke, dont fix it. So I broke it. -Steve morris

Just to add another point of context to two tenths of a second. According to google the average human eye blink is one tenth of a second. Everyone can blink twice, back to back, to get a better idea of how quick two tenths is.

37:08 wholly crap this makes me wanna cry, understanding how much time and how much money was spent on that whole paint job. I know it has to happen but it makes me sad on my inside to see it cut.

A piece of diamond plate aluminum on that wall below the glass would look great !!

Amazing to see all that old sheetmetal with almost no rust. Living on an island in the Pacific we never see that on cars more than a few years old. I wonder if you could add a hinge on the top and have the quarters open up like gullwing doors, so they don't have to come all the way off for tire and rearend service.

You should have a couple sets painted so they match. There is probably the same amount of time doing the color match as it takes to paint.

Put some tint on the glass to keep it contained if it happens to shatter due to tire shake or something hitting it. The tint will stop it from blowing everywhere.

It's always good to have great friends!

Steve, I am concerned about the ability of the "spot" welds holding the Zeus fastener brackets to the fender(s) to not fail during 250 MPH runs. I'd feel better if you used through bolts in the fenders to hold the brackets in place. Those fenders are like sails and any slight pressure differences from inside to outside the fender at speed are likely to blow the fenders off. Just sayin' . . .

Steve, if you can figure out a pin and rail system or a tab and hole set up something similar that doesn’t have buttons so you can just hang the top of the panel on and then dzus the rest that would fix the access problem to that top lip.

Steve, I see a storage container in your future with wood grain stripes to store wagon panels and such. Also be cool to use "gas cap" as pop out GoPro to capture the losing lane action. And, is there someway to pressurize cabin to prevent, minimize , or evacuate tire burn out smoke?

Going to save a lot of time changing tires! Plus if the cool little vents aren't enough you can always leave the panels off and strap them to the roof!

Wonder if it would be beneficial to use the Zeus fasteners that have springs behind them and don’t come completely out so you don’t have to have a handful of Zeus faster or anytime you take a panel off.. I don’t really see them as much anymore, but a promod I worked on years ago had some and it kept coming to mind anytime like saw your videos when you were going to add fasteners to these panels - which I have a feeling you might be doing already lol In any case, your dedication helps. Remind me when things get hard to keep pushing harder in life! Your heart work and craftsmanship are second to none, it is your ability to want to learn more and be better at everything..! Amazing stuff as always, thank you!!

Your disassembling music is awesome

Hey steve you should do Lamborghini door hinges so they go up to vertical.... Then you don't have to do all the zeus fascinaters.. Thank you for all the amazing content ..... Or how about a Mercedes gullwing door type situation where they just hinge up and out.

Do yourself a favor and buy the socket head dzues's. You'll have better control while working inside that fender.

For more safety, Steinel makes a heat gun that would be suitable for much of that trim work. The Steinel HG 2320 E is 1600 watts, and hears up to 1,200 F. The temperature is adjustable in 10-degree increments. They're VERY reliable and durable, and would possibly save you some money in propane cylinders.

Definitely use the new panel for that “good” side. That bondo makes it need a new paint job anyway. Start with a perfect one

Another great video and like the beginning says you might learn something I learned that the way you carry your self and your business you are loved and respected by alot of people you have the triple Fs coming to help Family, friends, and fans all trying to help glad no one got hurt when the dyno let go.

Love it Steve. Follow you heart! Nice idea to get to the tire and adjustments. This is a change for the good.

Great content thanks for sharing

Just proves the Point - Gud Folk - make Gud Friends !! Folks got your bac !

Love your videos, thank you, buddy

Looking good😊

Nice thinking and work...the world needs more of that.

Put in 2 Dzus tool holders one for each side (will cut removal time in half having 2 tools). Also put in a small container to hold extra Dzus buttons. Of course after the first event you probably won't be putting all of them back in.

Thank you for this vid Steve, we all know you have so much going on right now and an update on the wagon is really cool!

Great video Steve! thank you for going into great detail with everything, i learn something with each upload!

Steve completely out of his element, but still making it happen like a true renaissance man. Good work sir.

When the Dyno incident happened, that was definitely Greta's Revenge! How dare you!

Steve I love that removable quarter panel. That's a great idea

Always learning something from your channel and keeping our eyes and minds focused, thanks 🇺🇸🇺🇸🏁🏁

Good work guys and as always great job keeping the shop flowing ❤Dewey❤.😊

Really glad everyone was OK. Parts can be replaced. Really cool to see the wagon coming along. The removable fender idea sounds great.

Glad to see you working on the wagon can't wait to see it back on the track 🙌...keep living the dream ✨️

Super cool on the fix for the Wagon.

Since you gave away the other quarter, you need to keep this one for yourself as wall art! I saw that spot pop with all the bondo and I was like WTF? WHO put it on there 3/4" thick! Was it Clark? He's not around so he can be blamed, right?

This is just something Id never done before And not many of us wouldve known if you hadnt shared. We are very pleased with how the car is coming along. Cheers.

You let go of the window and I thought for sure it was gonna fall out lol great video buddy thanks for sharing

What an amazing idea to do removable quarter panels. With tragedy comes innovation I reckon. Looks really good. I’m impressed!

this is cool that the wagon is really coming along nicely.

Cutting off the other side... how novel... now you can change BOTH tires easily! :D

i like that wood grain colour.

Need to move your whole operation to Omaha so i can offer countless hours of free help. We have the college world series and the highest taxes anywhere. Thanks for the video.

Really gunna make it a lot easier

I like the voice overs Steve

Last video I wanted to mention Steve... might be time to "re-inforce" the dyno room. In the Marines my Dyno observatory had twin panes of actual bullet resistant glass. Was able to deflect a breaker bar that was still on the dampner on a start-up once..... hit the window so hard the breaker bar was bend by around 20 degrees. Also might want to make the primary walls out of cinderblock minimum. I know some "boom rooms" fill the cinderblock with sand. Love your work Steve, stay safe big dawg.

Great work Steve and a great creative process. I could sense your thought processes processing at every step of the way! Way to to go Wagon and Steve! Can't wait to see you both back in action! 🙂😎🤓❤

2/10ths of a second is a fast intentional blink of an eye, fast, fast fast....carnage happened.

1/4 panel work is sweet!

Hell yeah brother got it figured out going to be a lot easier to work on!!!

1964 Studebaker Cruisers have both the front and rear quarter panels bolted on.

@Steve Morirs i wonder if you can make a gasket flap on the inside of the car for the removable quarter pannel to keep some of the extra tire smoke out. like some 3m door trim or somthing..... just a thought less rattling, and a tighter seal

Add a ball protector under your dyno window ,

1/4 needs to be a merch give away please 🙏

Steve said " Chuck Norris could not have reacted as fast as I did!"

Gotta be able to multi task to keep dreams alive

Stainless steel sheet the room. Will look mint and serve a purpose

Have you thought about using the steel fenders as molds to make fiberglass quarters. That way if you damage a quarter in the future you can make another fender again.

Thank you.. Safety Glass.

Steve, I would make a carbon Kevlar copy of both rear quarters, as at some point you will bent them or damage them, not through an accident on Track but when working on it etc

On your quarter panel you could attach it with a piano hinge at the top, undo your lower fasteners and prop it up with two small struts.

That looks nice Steve that should be really slick for the drag drive life.

I would've put a piano hinges on them and swung the panels open toward the back of the car and secured them with a mannya latch, then it would only take 2 seconds to open your panels and you wouldn't have to worry about accidentally damaged them by laying them around.

Time to update the safety protocols on the Dyno room. Bullet proof sheilding in the walls and glass. That rear quarter is going to make NICE wall art!

Lots of progress going on here , with help from volunteers! Can't wait for the wagon to get back out there. Thanks Steve for the great video.

Some long aligning pins of some kind at the top corners would hold the fender while you et the first few fastners started.

Super easy tire changes and better access for maintenance and repairs and vent windows for some airflow always nice to have vent windows it's getting ready for springtime looking good

Dewey approved fab work!

I would be interested in what it took to sheer those bolts off at the flywheel. The sheer strength is crazy on even the most basic bolts, let alone 5 bolts. Would like to see the specs on those bolts.

Tony's Auto Service 200 N Federal Hwy Hallandale Beach , Florida Have a 94 Wagon Good shape no accidents... Drives better then butter...

"Nice to have rear Windows if it's gettin hot inside" 3 month later, drives around without Sidepanels Like an American would do.....😅

13:26 so refreshing seeing you use the right hammer and not a claw hammer like some of these other mechanics 😊

Zeus button. For YEARS I've been wanting to know the name of those buttons. I've seen them before, wanted them but couldn't find out what the name is. Thank you Steve, I learned something!

Have you considered getting a wrap made from old photos for the rear quarters ? Maybe a temporary wrap until you get time to have it painted again.

Nice and interesting video ! Great progress and the removeable quarters will be sweet ! Thanks for sharing !

That dyno explosion was really scary. Glad nobody got hurt.

If you going to run the widow maker danger disk with no guard on at least put on some good gloves and a full face shield. I've seen to many times where they let go and carve people up. I use them all the time but when they go the go bad. Safety first.

Ordered some merch to try and help out a little. Everything is coming from Bradenton so I guess Cleetus is involved somehow. Great work Steve.

Love the content! How about a long hinge all along the top edge of the rear fenders then you just undo front and lower zeus clips and fold the fender up. You can add some light hood shocks to keep fender up while changing tires. It will be a little bit faster more ridgid and save you moving the fender around eliminating risks of messing it up.😊 Greatings from sweden

Are you concerned with what the wind/air forces might do along the seam between the glass and the quarter panel at 200+ MPH? We have all seen them suck windows and doors off of cars, often at significantly lower speeds. I think that with the structural rigidity being compromised as it is, you would be well served to reinforce that area, even at the expense of the added weight. You’re going to be very upset if your fresh quarters get torn off the car at speed.

I, would weld a fuel door in the hole, of the new/GM quarter panel Add, to the stock look.

I would also imagine to use the take off fender thing, to use it to launch the car without these and see even better what exactly tyres and rear end are doing

not that would have changed the outcome, but with the horsepower you guys now play with, may I suggest you look at getting a water brake dyno? They handle large marine engines quite nicely. Cheers, thanks for the great videos, and projects....cheers!

Polished stainless on the wall 👍👍

The science behind a 4/10 and 5/10 tree in drag racing is based on the time it takes for the brain to react to visual cues. So on a pro tree Steve cut an almost perfect light on the dyno!

Glad to see the wagon getting some much deserved attention. This is one of my favorite race cars of all time.

Make me happy race car engine man it has been a rough one!!! Thank you for the content

Awesome love the wagon all my father ever owned was wagons had a bunch of them lots of miles driving into Canada back in the 80s lol

I have a great idea!! Have a drawing through your members. To win the quarter panel and make T shirts

Have you thought about having some carbon fiber quarter panels made now that they are removable. Easy to make more once molds are made.

Hopefully you ordered hard coated polycarbonate if not be careful with what chemicals you put on it because it’s not to chemically resistant and it scratches a lot easier than acrylic.
