This video will help you understand the difference between torque and angle. Angle is a calculated measurement based on many factors. It is important to understand both in order to avoid stripping a thread or using a spent fastener.

This will be the first in a series on the engine build for my Cobra. This is a 351W bored 0.030" with a 408 stroker crank. The intake was converted to fuel injection and featured in a previous video. I will list components as much as I can.

This video shows how to use powder coat to add detail to engine parts. It is a real fun process because it is so versitile and the colors are awesome. It's not as dynamic as anodizing but it still produces and excellent finish.

This is a short video about paint matching panel repair, and polishing aluminum. For this 1979 Fiat I needed to paint the hood since the paint job on it (the third paint job) faded and got extremly chalky. I use DuPont ChromaSeal value shade 7 to prep the hood for the metallic bronze that orginally came on the car. I also polish out scratches on the aluminum ornaments for the wheels.

Yet another disappointing find on the Street Beasts weld quality. I can't believe they let this out of the factory like this. Check every weld.

There are many direct bolt-in Lamborghini door hinges. This set is a universal kit that requires quite a bit of cutting, welding, and fitting. Once installed they worked pretty smooth.

This is a condensed version of building the motor mount from start to finish. It took 5 hours to do one side. Totally worth it and way better than what StreetBeasts designed.

This video is about making custom motor mounts instead of the ones supplied with the kit. I am going for strength and power transfer. The mounts supplied by StreetBeast were a bit chinsy for the HP I want to put in this cobra.

This is from The Wall Concert in Buffalo 10/8. By far the most moving and inspiring performance I have ever seen! Roger Waters performed flawlessly. Only the addition of Gilmour and Mason would have made it better.

Diagnose and change your own head gasket and save a couple grand $$$. I did the whole job for about $175 but you can do it for $75 without changing the thermostat and water pump.
