$250 Ebay Dual Exhaust! Was it worth it? Will it sound Chinese? Let's find out! 1978 Ford F150.
As much fun as its been just running the 351M on the open Hedman headers, i think its time we quiet it down just a little bit. I picked up some pre bent exhaust tubing kits off of ebay along with a pair of glasspack mufflers and some exhaust tips. In this episode we'll get the system fit up, full welded and do a sound check. This may be the last episode on the 1978 Ford F150 for awhile. As winter approaches, i plan to get back to producing more snowmobile content. Enjoy!

351M On Open Headers! 1978 F150 Moves For The First Time In 3 Years! Bleeding The Power Steering.
I think we're finally ready to move the 1978 Ford F150. We'll fire the 351M for the first time on the hedman fenderwell exit headers, set the idle on the edelbrock avs2 carburetor, deal with some fuel pressure issues, bleed the terribly designed power steering system, and install a borgeson steering shaft. Its feels great to finally have the shop rearranged and be able to get at the truck a little easier. In the next video we'll start working on getting the new exhaust system welded up. Thanks for watching!

1978 F600 Still Gettin' It Done. Adding a Gravel Floor to a Woodshed.
This leanto woodshed has been on my property for a very long time. Its seen better days, but its still useable. I keep about 3 cords of wood in it and use the rest to keep a few things out of the weather. I figure it's time to give it a decent gravel floor and dry it in with an old crappy tarp. Along the way we'll split some wood, fire up the white gt-1855 yardboss to do some mowing, and Introduce the newest memeber of the family, the 1978 Ford F600 Flatbed. Its technically an old grain truck, or flatbed with a hoist and grain sides if you want to get super technical, but i'll mostly be using it as a light dump truck. I'm already dreadfully in love with the old girl, and i'll definitely be doing more videos on it in the future. Tried my hand at doing a little more narrating this time, and i think i'll keep doing it once i have a better microphone. I find it much easier to just film myself while working and add in a little commentary later on where needed. Anyway, enjoy!

Edelbrock Performer 400 & AVS2 Carb on the 351m! Testing a $30 Dustless Sandblasting Kit! 1978 F150!
Let's continue work on the 1978 Ford F150 Custom! Almost done buttoning up the 351m. We'll get the Edelbrock performer 400 intake installed with the AVS2 650 CFM carburetor. Then we'll add an HEI distributor, Install a new Comp Cams double roller timing set and set the "Straight up" timing. Finally we'll toss in a new water pump, thermostat, and some Hedman fenderwell exit headers. Its a slow process, but we're getting there. Hoping to have the ol' girl fired up before winter! Thanks for watching!

Replacing The Head Gaskets On The 351M. Intake Problems. The 1978 F150 Saga Continues!
In this episode I'll get a quick coat of paint on the front section of the frame, clean up the head and block surfaces with some new carbide gasket scrapers, run into an issue with the stock intake, and decide how I'll address that going forward. Making progress slowly but surely!

I haven't touched this truck in YEARS. Let's get it back on the road. 1978 F150 351m. Part 1.
I've been staring at this for the last 3 years wondering what i should do with it. Long story short i still can't decide so i'm going to clean it up as best i can and just drive it until it gives me problems. The 351m could use a few seals and gaskets so let's start by getting it torn down and cleaned up.

Nothing ever runs when you need it to... Let's get this fixed.
Time to mow the lawn! But I sort of need a running mower first I guess... Let's diagnose this no start condition, do some pre season maintenance and get the yard mowed before I need to rent a haybine.

Will it run? Traded my quad sight unseen for this beat up jetski. Did i get screwed? Let's find out!
Got bored mid January and decided i'd had enough of my Suzuki LT230s. Found this gem of a Seadoo (1994 Seadoo XP 650) on Facebook Marketplace and negotiated a trade! So i headed up to the UP and pulled it home and haven't touched it since! In this episode we'll do a walk around, check things out, and then rip into the engine and carburetors and see if we can't get the ol' girl running again! In the future i think we'll try to fix the poor fiberglass repairs, recover the seat and handlebar pad and try our hand at fixing the VTS and gauge wiring. Enjoy!

Finally finishing up the outboard swap on the Larson. We'll also tidy up the wiring, clean up the interior, buff and polish the hull, add a bimini top and go through a 300 hour service on the motor. The weather is slowly getting warmer and i'm hoping to have her on the water by Memorial Day! Enjoy!

Outboard motor swap. 2 stroke to 4 stroke. Getting the boat ready for the 2023 season.
This boat came to me last fall with the original 85hp force down on compression on one cylinder. After stripping the force to assess the damage, it will need a full rebuild to include boring and new pistons. I plan to rebuild it over the next year, but in the meantime we'll install this Yamaha F60 to get us through the summer. I don't think we'll get much more than 30 mph out of it, but should still be enough to get around the lake and pull a tube.

$20 Husqvarna 435s! Can we save them? Absolute nightmare, no wonder previous owner gave up...
Normally i would consider Husqvarna to be top of the line when it comes to small engines. The 435 must be the exception. Holy hell was this thing a battle... Funky carburetor, sketchy coil, questionable flywheel, just about everything that could be adjusted was out of adjustment or needed replacement. That being said, she seems to be running good now! A little cleaning and some proper tuning after discovering what the last guy did and she's just about ready to make some firewood. Enjoy!

POV Snowmobiling! Northern Wisconsin trail riding. Raw Footage - 2000 Skidoo Summit 800.
Its hard to believe its March already. We really haven't had much of a Winter, but thankfully this month has blessed us with decent snow totals. The temps have been way too high, and most of the snow that we got last weekend is on its way out. BUT... There's a possible 12-20" in the forecast for this week, and temps are headed back down, so we may get one or two more weekends of riding out of this. I'm not sure if this qualifies as ASMR, or if its even something many of you will enjoy watching. If anything, i know i'm going to enjoy watching it this summer when i'm dreaming of 25 degrees and fresh powder. Have a good one boys, and thanks for takin' a ride with me.

Saved From the Scrap Pile! Did it Belong There? Let's Find Out.
A few months ago i found this 1995 summit on marketplace and decided to grab it for spare parts for the 1994 summit we've been working on. In the meantime i figured we might as well go through it and see what's wrong with it if anything and see if it could be brought back to life. At this point i'm going to leave it up to you guys? Does it deserve a full revival or should i chop it up and leave it on the shelf for parts? Let me know what you think!
