Cool! Are you gonna have a live band too? Couldn't hurt your ratings... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) @mgp4591 - Funny you mention this! I was the lead singer / bass player in a couple bands, back in the day. Here we are rehearsing in the living room - me singing - before I'd officially taken over bass duty - and when I still had hair, lots and lots of hair! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I have a fun story about nearly becoming a rock star. If you can place the guitarist on the right, you'll have an idea of my near brush with fame... Anyway, last week I mentioned to one of my musician buddies that we may need to create some original music for the channel. If we do, I'll get footage of that. Edit |

Since this thread is ahead of the published videos - and I have a number of episodes "in the can" - I've decided to help the video viewers catch up. I'll be publishing everything I have over the next few days.
Here's the next episode and thanks for watching! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzxQ2l6qdis |

Feel free to add comments A few observations: - The music is too loud when compared to the speech sections. I had to fiddle with the volume adjust every time you switched to music (yeah, i'm getting old). - You are making this weird clicking sound between sentences. It's very distracting. Most noticeable in episode #1. I don't recall you doing this when talking to you in person. Maybe it's because you're nervous filming? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Yes. Apple has stopped being HTML compliant quite a few years ago. They are pushing their own proprietary implementations. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

The next episode is now available. Again, I'm playing catch up to bring the videos up to date with this build thread.
At over 20 minutes, this episode is a bit longer than the earlier ones. Reason is because I demo roll bending the trans mount tube. Some folks have asked that I detail more of the "how" so I'm giving it a go with this one. Hope you enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rspEm9e8APc |

Provided that it drains really well before you take it off, that seems like a great place for an oil filter. If it doesn't drain well, ...could be messy. The access is great though.
BTW....who's the mystery guitarist?...you can't leave us in suspense. |

That's high praise coming from you, thanks! You're close enough to swing by some time and see all this stuff in person. If that's of interest, let me know and let's get something on calendar? |

BTW....who's the mystery guitarist?...you can't leave us in suspense. @Craigers17 - The oil filters are made with an "anti-puke" tube inside them that retains the oil when removed. Special made for the upside down installation. As to the guitarist, his name is Dave Bryson - he's a founding member of Counting Crows. We were room mates for a bit and played together in a number of bands. I sold out and got a corporate job. But let's be clear: I was never going to be a good enough bassist to play at that level. But what great time we had... |

Pretty interesting on that oil filter too....I know the mess I normally make when I change the oil, and I was just picturing that spilling out onto that beautiful engine. I guess Ferrari had it all figured out....even if they never suspected their engine would end up in a 914. |

Cold saw? Do tell. I missed class that day. Also, you mention that the suspension console ear interferes with the headers but on the previous page it "appears" that it clears. BTW, your "going into detail" makes the subject much more interesting. And that curvy tool could come in handy doing bodywork. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
