Legendary Engine Shop Scheduled for Demolition: Ed Pink's Hallowed Ground (Full Tour)

What happens here

Ed next presents the fabrication shop, a fully equipped area for custom metalwork. It includes a glass beader for surface finishing, various saws (including a band saw), and vintage welding equipment, notably a P&H AC-DC Arc Welder from the 1970s, still in use. This section highlights the shop's capability for in-house fabrication, with Ed recalling that a skilled drag racer and fabricator named Pat Foster used to work here. The tools showcase the blend of classic craftsmanship with robust, long-lasting machinery.

Goal: Explore the custom metalwork and fabrication capabilities of the shop.

Tools and materials

  • AC-DC Arc Welder P&H — Welding metal parts
  • Band Saw DoALL — Cutting metal
  • Glass Beader N/A — Surface finishing metal parts

stuff in this building. It might be the size of a I don't I don't even know a refrigerator. But if it doesn't break, maybe it's worth it. But it happened. [Music] This This is dyn is going through a configuration stage right now with all the new fuel cell pumps and lines and all that. It should be ready to operate probably within within the next 2 or 3 weeks. Is this the room where the dyno that Vic Edel Brock loaned you was? No. No. I I'll show you that room. This this is the room that uh Edel Brock lent me the dino. It fit right in here. The office went right out there. The first dino we had when he lent me was quaint.

But back back in the day, uh, the end of this wall right here, there was a wall that came out here to about this this distance. And on this wall were two flow meters. And then in between were various gauges. And when we'd run an engine on a dyno in those days, I'd have three guys in here reading the gauges. So when we get done with the run, I look at them and they tell me what they read and I write it down. That's And now you have this thing. Then then we went that from that stage uh we went and up on that wall from that end all the way down to the end of the window was a panel box up there with all the gauges in it.
