My first car was a 69 charger and I had no problem with its handling. It could take on lowered foreign cars on mountain roads with every type of curves and win. One even got a head start ,but I still one. It's not the car that handles bad, it's the driver that can't handle things.
He pronounces his name KC La dell.
My first car was a 1972 dodge dart sport . I had 3 dodge darts, my best was a 1977 short bed chevy silverado with a 383 strocker that absolutely kicked ass on the street. Then a 79 chevy silverado that kicked ass. I bought and built all of them with my own money. I started working at the age of 13 full time, but actually started working at the age of 10.
I just heard of a company that is remaining your v 12 engines name of the company is thunder V12. Sorry I do not have a contact number
My God king, you're making me tear up, just remembering the 70's ,80's was so much fun. I did work my tail off but man did we have fun. So many memories of all the girls, all the cars, the parties the fishing trips/ parties, camping trip/ parties, running from the police and no one getting hurt , except for hurt feelings. 😢. Thats not even a drop in the bucket
I beat vettes in my chevy truck with the 383 stroker. I used to buy my parts from [ Rocko and Cheaters speed shop] in west Birmingham Alabama. When i say parts i mean cam shafts and associated parts , new pistons and rings and bearings , gasket sets most stuff came from the junk yard. Like chevy pink rods, double hump heads , 4 bolt main heavy duty blocks. Im also a big fan of quadrajett carbaratures
Your hot rod Dodge is very impressive. Will you be restoring it? Great story thanks see you tomorrow.
Hey Joey, would you happen to know what brand those front slots are on your Dodge Pickemup? They have a more squared off slot instead of the usual oval style, I can't really place them, I don't think they would be Ansens, but maybe Fenton's? Can't wait to see you get that ol girl runnin again! Whatever happened to that cool old "Screamin Ford" with the Deeetroit Power that ya could pinball off them snowbanks? 😅😅😅
Thanks Joey for showing the 37. Definitely learned a lot more about your trusted hot rod and when you say "its built for speed " we now know what your saying, your dad had some fantastic knowledge which he passed on to you. Cant wait for the 4th book , I hope you had as much fun writing it as we will reading of your unique fun adventures. Cheers 🍻
Thanks again king Joey and staff for another great and interesting video. 😎👍
Good morning from Cape Cod 🦈 you mentioned everything that went into that Dodge truck except for what the hell's under the hood 🤔 I too have a little mechanical background, my grandfather owned a service station slash motorcycle dealership. He sold Indians Norton's and Triumphs, he raced them also. My father inherited the business and I grew up in it. I had way too many built cars and trucks to even get into. Great video as always 👍✌️🇺🇲
Good explanation 😊
She got arrested again last week. She’s probably home sulking. Poor Swedish kid.
Ran a 67 Chevelle back in the mid 80’s. Had a 400 that I had bored, stroked, big cam, big 4 barrel. Lots of speed and fun. Thanks for making me wish I had it back. Hope my wife don’t read this because she thinks I have enough toys being 55 years old.
I was born in the cold weather and you see me in a muscle shirts around my birthday that is my birthday suit logger pants on and my alaskan deadliest catch boots on and they work at anytime as well
Great little truck built for speed. In the late 70s we were able to still leave school for lunch. Since we had an hour many times we ended up on a back two lane blacktop racing. I was driving a big old Buick with a 455 four pot carb. The guy that had it the worse had a Nova with a 350. In those days they couldn't serve alcahol to minors but we could sit at the bar and eat lunch with everyone else. Some of the guys were playing penny anti and everyone that was an adult was drinking. The serios drinkers came in for their daily bottle. Today, a kid can't carry a pocket knife, leave school for lunch, or sit at the bar with the adults. Even harder to drag race. By the way you are pronouncing Casey correctly. For us it is like Casey Jones the trainman that died and all the songs including the Grateful Dead.
Joey, my dad was a huge fan of shopping in bone yards for hot rod parts. He'd make a list and spend hours searching for them. He had a 1969 ford ranger with a 428 cobra jet engine. 😮
Thanks for sharing the video and info on your dads " Thunder Road" Hot rod!. I would like to see the brake linkage set up? Since we're already there so to speak. Do you remember the cam or as we old Gear heads say " Bump Stick" you were running. Sig Erson had a wicked cam for small block Chevys back in the day. My 67 SS 396 Camaro ran one with a 355 gear in the rear!
King Joey it sounds like you might have hauled a little shine back in the day really enjoying the back story and info on 37, hope the Staff caught some fish this time nice line up till today
Opening monologue was hilarious Joey, thanks for the chuckle and reality check. My dad could build with wood like there’s no tomorrow however he never did car repairs, only maintenance he did was add a quart of 10w30 lol. You had a unique and interesting upbringing. Enjoy the evening my Canadian brother. Cheers
I had an 86 chev half ton long box. 350 punched out 60 over. Flat top pistons, Cam, intake, heads, headers and 2 1/2 inch dual exhaust. 2.72 rear gears and it was too fast for its own good. Lol.
The good old days. =-) I miss the old school junkyards, used to be a weekly ritual to go wander through our favorite yards looking for treasures.
As for making a car to do nothing but burnouts nowadays, I can see it as an outlet since speeding carries a heck of a lot stiffer penality than it ever did when we where out there. We'd get a fine for doing 120mph on the highway, today your liscense will get suspended for 30 days on the spot and the car you are driving towed to impound for 14 days. They call it stunt driving, Welcome to Onterrible. I'm glad I'm not a youngster today as my speed demon self would probably be stuck riding the bus.
