NEW PROJECT ALERT! 1967 MGB GT Walk-Thru And Attempt To Start and Drive. Or Will It Be All British And Just Fail?

If Jefferson ever buys a car that makes sense to me, I’m going to question whether or not I’ve lost my mind or he’s finally come back from the dark side. He has a penchant for finding the least practical projects, which I myself have been guilty of on occasion, but he doesn’t just pick things that will be a ton of work but also things that will make most people scratch their heads as to why. So you can imagine that when he decided to choose a little British car and wanted to actually make it work in stock form, there was some head scratching. After all, these little cars are known for having issues in the first place despite having some parts that are super durable.

But he’s a glutton for punishment, and we can’t argue with having some fun hauling ass around the family dirt track in it. So watch, enjoy, and soon we’ll share the next step in the build.

Video Description:

We bought a 1967 MGB GT off Facebook for $2k. The seller guaranteed it ran, but we couldn’t get it started on the day we went to check it out. We took a gamble on whether or not the drivetrain was good, and brought it home.

After sitting for a few weeks, we rolled it into the shop. Jefferson gives a thorough walk-thru on this MGB and we attempt to start it up. If it runs and drives, we are gonna take it for a spin on the Red Dirt Drift Track.

We go over the battery, positive-earth, ignition, fuel system, and brakes. Eventually, it sputters to life and runs! Why not take an untested car on the drift track at the Red Dirt Rodz Drift Track? LET’S GO!!!!!

We are going to rebuild the whole car using parts from @MossMotorsCom and @Tmiproducts-Upholstery, so stayed tuned!

Tre5 Customs OBS Chevy Feature: Red On Red On Red On Red…

Image
This cool truck feature from Tre5 Customs is an OBS that just about everyone can relate to. Yes, the fit and finish is high level, the chassis is rad, and the LS swap is on point, but overall this truck is still identifiable as an OBS, with only one body modification! It still has door handles, features some sport mirrors, and other than a welded in roll pan out back doesn’t have any body mods. It’s just as the general intended, only smoother and prettier. Check out the details in the video below. As we’ve said before, the guys at Tre5 build some pretty cool trucks, and I always like watching their feature videos that come along when a project is ready to get delivered to the owner. These aren’t super sexy videos that make you ooh and aah over the truck but never actually tell you what is in it and under it, these are videos that really show you the cool stuff that went into these builds! We’re talking about the details and info that real enthusiasts want. And while these trucks are t

Check Out This 6×6 Engesa EE-25 Army Truck And It’s Freaky Boomerang Rear Suspension In Action

Image
Army trucks, we love them. Why? Well for the same reason we love functional hot rods that are lacking in amenities but are heavy in ass kicking ability. No matter the country of origin you are typically not going to find a lot of cushy stuff in an army truck, especially a large one. They are loaded full of ability, though and that’s exactly what caught our eye when it comes to this Brazilian 6×6 Engesa EE-25 and its awesome Boomerang rear axle. The truck uses a walking beam style layout but it can articulate in some incredible ways to keep the rears planted while the rest of the chassis rises to some pretty steel angles. Quoting a story on the rear suspension: The suspension of the EE-25 utilizes live axles and leaf springs, the rear suspension having a conspicuous “Engasa Boomerang” walking beam, a feature seen on several other Engesa 6-wheeled military vehicles. This suspension articulates, allowing the EE-25 to traverse large undulations with greatly increased traction, handling,

FAST LSXR INTAKE TEST-IS IT WORTH $1000? HOW MUCH HP DOES IT ADD? LSXR VS CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE

Image
One thing that sucks about modern EFI engines like the LS, LT, Mod Motors, And HEMIs is that aftermarket intake manifolds for them tend to be really expensive. It’s understandable as there is a lot of technology going on in there and the manufacturing is way different than the typical cast aluminum intake manifold. Some of these intakes cost around $600 but some are closer to $1,500. The question is whether or not they are worth it. In truth, we know they work, and work well, but whether it is worth the money or not is going to be up to you. In this test video from Richard Holdener, who has tested more LS intake manifolds than anyone on earth, he’ll show the real results of testing this hopped-up 5.3 with a stock truck intake and a FAST LSXr. Video Description: LOW-BUCK, CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE VS BIG BUCKS FAST LSXR! HOW MUCH POWER IS THE FAST LSXR INTAKE WORTH ON MY LS? SHOULD I BUY IT FOR MY STOCK 4.8L OR 5.3L? FAST VS TRUCK INTAKE-WHO WINS? HOW MUCH POWER IS THE INTAKE UPGRA
