I'm wondering if you have nick names for your personal vehicles? In my family we always name our rides. What do you make yours? I think it's fun to do that.
If you stopped using gforce media owned by cleetus (garrett), other states could participate.

I am so happy that you won the 2.4 Hours of Le Mullets, you earned it. So close, so many times only to be knocked out. They tried, you weren't having any of it. Congrats to you and your team mate!
"Welcome Nighthawks , we've been expecting you. " Anybody know this fictional jazz tv reference??
Hi Derek, Love your youtube, i'm from Australia. I was lead to believe that catch cans was only for diesel engines. I'm not a mechanic, it's just what i have been told. Why would you need a catch can on a petrol motor?
I really enjoy watching your vids man. Very informative and funny af. Well done Sr. We're all happy for ya man.
That’s going to turn heads here in Finland when I win it 🎉😂
I bought a tube of black RTV at from O'Reilly's and it was $16 plus tax. Harbor Freights has the same brand RTV In Black, Red or Blue that's the same as O'Reilly's, but for lots less $4.99 plus tax…
The novas look better with chrome bumpers and grill.Just sayin
hex head bolts in csk holes nice
Great music too. Thanks Derek.
Love your show dude
Thankyou
A fellette was happy to hear the smooth jazz. Nothing better than some smooth jazz playing when the sky drops are hitting a metal roof building.
I grew up in Canonsburg / Houston PA, the home of Yenko Chevrolet.
LOVE this car! Regarding diff oil check: How do you know if it's got the right stuff??????
I love the way you think before you do. you are working like it's your own car; I don't think you do this for the camera. This is who you are. oh yeah loving the new wording.
Love the shop Lion, and the content! Congrats on 2.4 hours of Le Mullets!
Mark Chesnutt is playing at Lori's Roadhouse in West Chester, OH today.
Not sure how old these videos are at time of upload but I left a comment with a timestamp (49:56) on the previous nova video where you can see the camshaft is damaged. Re-commenting as a friendly reminder to have a look at that before it rolls out the door.
Very nicely done! Hey I would of found a way to hook up some heater hoses from the engine and through the firewall. Seems like on a chilly morning or night a guy would appreciate some creature comforts as well. Great job on the Nova thus far. Very good quality build. A nice improvement over some past thrashing….. Long time viewer.
Congrats on the win tonight! Can't wait to see this nova done! One question though, I see there are no coolant lines to a heater core, will this car have heat when it's completed? If by chance I win it, I gotta ask bc it's cold up here in minnesota, Snow or not. A guy should know lol
When is the drawing over?
Give me that car….. now
Hey Derek,
Love how the Nova is coming along. Just FYI I personally love the simplicity and look of the 4150 4bbl style EFI manifolds that use a traditional style carbureted air cleaner on a 1,000 cfm 4bbl throttle body. I have an Edelbrock Proflow version on my G20 van with a hopped up Vortec 350. Would have been a very clean setup with that ram air style hood allowing you to run a factory style ram air pan aroubd the filter with a molded seal. Something to consider next time around. Just gives it that timeless clean look. Also if you ever have the truck accessories and need more room you can get a water pump for like a 2012 Express van that has the upper hose provision relocted to about 10 o'clock and has the same belt spacing. Just FYI the 2010+ LS3 Camaro also has the same belt spacing as the truck accessory setup, makin it easier on that budget to use factory parts. The Camaro pump has another great option for relocating the water outlet. Still enjoying your weekly videos.
Chris
It’s going to be a pain to lift the hood to check that gauge in the engine bay while driving a stick but other than that it looks real nice.
Loved the jazz 🎶
I sure hope I can win this Nova it's my favorite year model!!!!!!!!
Derek doen't do burnouts for fun, folks. He does them for science…to establish if it's a posi or not. 😎
Please don't forget about the MAT (manifold air temp) sensor after the air intake piping is ready to be assembled. You'd be surprised how many people forget that step and have a very poorly running engine. Love the videos, great work!
Just a tip when tapping threads: use cutting oil and every few turns back it up a few turns and then forward till done. No surprises and never break a tap. You know all my rebuilds/overhauls I always went box stock. It's fun to see what's possible with resto/mods using high tech performance gear, very cool!
December 2nd is my son’s birthday!!
so much flashing. adjust your frame rate man
Thats a very nice nova
Lol we have a friendly lil panther cat just like that named theo! He is 2.5 years and runs like crazy!
32:43 they make throttle bodies that have a certain angle to them that point up away from the pulleys
Good to see you working on my future car 😎
derek.. plzzz built a muscle drift car.. vintage Ford or Chevy .. it's would be insane awesome 💪😋👍
I'd have to relocate that catch can and add vintage air if i won it. I couldn't drive it here without air. Way to hot and humid most of the year here
I love it real dual exhaust
Congratulations Derek and Keith on Winning LeMullets!
Hi from australia Derek if i buy things from you awesome range will you ship the car downunder ?? you could use what ever from the $15k to do so
Mark Chesnutt had a birthday in September. He turned 61😊
You're not giving it away. You're selling it in a raffle…
