Final Checks and Test Drive

. I'm working on the brackets here. Logan is hanging things up. What were you doing? I hung everything up. I hang things on a perforated panel. I'm painting the countertop for this side of the workbench. Mhm. This thing really gets better. Remember what it looked like a couple of days ago. Yes, it looked terrible. Yes, we really are dealing with this. Little by little, step by step. I must have been fiddling with the exhaust for the last hour. I spent maybe 30 minutes doing these things. Pretty good. I simply cut a long piece of rolled metal in half to make them. I'll bend them on the bending machine over there. And I'm going to place them about here. They will have a hole. And then that suspension I have, wherever it is . Well, there's one more here . It will look something like this. but wherever I decide to place the pin suspension, it's somewhere in that area. And I'll have to sand down the flat area a little or make a groove in that spot. Just don't get your nose dirty with paint. Well, why am I explaining all this to you? I'll just do it and show you the process. How do you like that? The original exhaust pipe mount from Jeff Lutz that I removed was held on by self -tapping screws. How do you like that? And that exhaust pipe never fell off. And he charged me a lot of money for it. Actually, that's what I paid to have another shop install a four-speed transmission, and then they sent it to Jeff Lutz to have him put in this exhaust and tune it on the dyno. And it cost about $2,400 or something. I thought, "Oh my god, I'll never have a fast car if I keep paying three times as much for labor as I do for parts." So, after spending all the money I saved throughout the whole damn school in one week, I'm like: you know what? I need to find friends who know about cars so I can learn from them and do it myself, because I have eyes, hands, and a head. I can do that too . And if I don't figure out how to do it myself, I'll never have a faster car than my friends, because they're not going to figure it out either. That's how it all started, with this. But I'm getting to the point that I also use self-tapping screws to secure my parts. So, break it. I didn't take it off because I feel gross every time I screw screws into parts. So I won't put it in the video, but I'll talk about it anyway. They are already in place. Everything is fine. And now we have this bracket perfectly installed here. And I tightened it all the way down on the thread, because now the exhaust…
