NAS for Plex ? Pffffft . It's been raining in NWFL for about a week so I decided to bring an older project back to life. This is an older HP rack server that I bought a few years back, over the years I have posted a few videos of this retro fit work horse. Even in 2024 I find uses for this rig. My son was asking me questions about rack servers in general and I was recording random clips, decided to put those clips together into this video ! Some of the mods on this thing include a current GPU , an additional Sata bus to many cable hacks to remember.

Work continues on the Hornet at this point the car can move around under it's own power , brakes are pretty sketchy, the Transmission lines have been looped together so the car can be moved into the back. But a new issue has shown it's ugly face in the form of a locked wheel and a rear brake drum that does not want to come off. Featuring the music track "What the hell is wrong with me"

Wrenching under the night sky, continuing the flushing of the automatic transmission and Radiator in preparation of the external transmission cooler Install. Putting a flare on the ends of the recently cut lines so I can place a temporary "loop" from the supply to the return line this will allow me to flush the coolant side independently of the transmission flush, and also move the car a few feet with the goal of getting it into the back yard under its own power.

A wrench was placed in my hand at a very young age, I later graduated from the auto mechanics program of Rhode Island Trades Shops Schools in 1991. I specialize in pre ODB II cars. Join me on this Rat rod restoration of this survivor a 1974 AMC Hornet with a V8 304. The car sat for decades in a large field full of cars in Alabama, after purchasing the car it was learned that the car was somewhat brought back to life by a team of YT car restorers about 1 year previous to me acquiring the car, now in my hands the car will undergo a proper rebuild witness the cars journey from the grave to the strip !
