What do YOU prefer? DRIVING or WORKING on your car? Let me know down in the comments.
For me it is a balance of the amount of time I am working on the 1969 Mustang against the amount of time I drive the car. Since I spend the majority of my work week in an office, I really like being able to just sit down, relax, and work on the car. I probably prefer working on it over driving it! Am I crazy? let me know.

70% driving and 30% working 💪

@Sentient6ix 2 месяца назад

Driving it for sure

@FordGTmaniac 2 месяца назад

It's typically a good idea to envision what kind of driving the car will be used for before you start working on it. If you want a race car (dominator carb, solid roller cam, quick change rear end, stuff like that), you'll be working on that thing a lot just to dial in the tune, and you'll quickly go down the rabbit hole of looking for more power wherever you can.

@SmackeysGarage 2 месяца назад

Yea. That is a great idea. Especially can help out your wallet longer term if you invest in what you want interchangeable early in the build/process rather than needing to buy new parts and replace things.

I used to enjoy working on my old cars just as much as driving them, but since I've gotten older I definitely enjoy driving them more!👍

@SmackeysGarage 2 месяца назад

What old cars do you have Mitch? I don’t think I’ve ever asked

@musclecarmitch908 2 месяца назад

@@SmackeysGarage at the moment I have a 1969 corvette and recently picked up a 2006 Pontiac solstice.

@SmackeysGarage 2 месяца назад

@musclecarmitch908 very cool! I like those older vettes and I remember wanting a solstice when it came out. Such a unique car!

@AndyKruseChannel 2 месяца назад

I'm with you, I enjoy tinkering on the car more than driving it. :)

@SmackeysGarage 2 месяца назад

I’m curious to know goes many miles you’ll put on it. I probably won’t get much!

@AndyKruseChannel 2 месяца назад

@@SmackeysGarage I was just looking at that the other day, I've put about 1200 miles on the car in the past 18 months(since I installed that 347). :)

@SmackeysGarage 2 месяца назад

That’s great! I’ll have to check mine tomorrow. I’m probably in the low 100s

@mattcornett7180 2 месяца назад

I’m probably working on it 99% of the time. I drive it once and can’t help but think… “ah it would be so much better if I upgraded this on thing”… and then the one upgrade leads to 5 other modifications… that leads to … “well since it’s apart, I might as well upgrade this other thing”. Not a huge fan of crawling under the car but my favorite part of owning a classic car is shopping for new parts and doing the research.

@SmackeysGarage 2 месяца назад

You sound exactly like me! I'm not a massive fan of getting under the car either and really will only get under it if it is on ramps or wheel cribs. I use jack stands where necessary, but I prefer working on it from above.

@timwindsor03 2 месяца назад

Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. I prefer both working and driving it. I don't try to do major projects on the vehicle. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Much love and RESPECT

@SmackeysGarage 2 месяца назад

Thanks Tim! Major projects and downtime are no fun!

@TonysFordsandMustangs 2 месяца назад

I like driving my cars and work on them because I'm not happy with something which is a constant. So I'm 50/50 drive and work

@SmackeysGarage 2 месяца назад

Sounds like the perfect balance!

@deanstevenson6527 2 месяца назад

Im externalising a really complicated equation in my head. I dont have car Munchausen by Proxy, but I sure do like modifications and bringing a car back from the Dead. 🥝✔️

@SmackeysGarage 2 месяца назад

That is one of the best things to do!

@MustangGuy6501 2 месяца назад

With my 65 fastback ,Truth is got mine in 98 I've been trying to get it road worthy, I think in that time I drove it maybe 25 miles on the road. I'd much rather enjoy it for once, now the rear frame rail came through the trunk floor, so I pulled out the engine and put it in my foxbody so I don't make the body worse collecting body parts for now

@SmackeysGarage 2 месяца назад

They definitely take time to get road worthy. Too bad about the rear frame rail. At least you get to enjoy the fox with the engine. A 65 fastback is a great car. Need to get one here one day

@MustangGuy6501 2 месяца назад

@@SmackeysGarage highly recommend lol I love your 69 but just something about the 65s,.. yes good 302 fox is solid and had a crappy 2.3 that wouldn't run, so why not,

@toddsearight1775 2 месяца назад

Do you ever plan on Running drag tires? If so please let me knoe your rim and tire sizes. I have a 1969 sportroof and would benefit from your info. Thank you for sharing your mods they have truly helped me.

@SmackeysGarage 2 месяца назад

Yea. I think I do. I want to replace the Goodyears on my car right now. The T/As aren’t providing great traction anymore and the white letters have changed to brown. If I buy some this year, I’ll create a video about it. I’m running 15x8s in the rear right now.

I do like working on my car but I don't like to have it down for long periods of time. I like to go to the local cars and coffee and monthly 100 mile rallies. The car culture where I live is really active.

@SmackeysGarage 2 месяца назад

Nice! What area are you from? I recently found some FB groups that list out all the local car shows in my area.

@springman1740 2 месяца назад

North of San Francisco, Sonoma County.
