This video is Part 6 in the final assembly of the #FairmontProject.
#FairmontProject Final Assembly (Part 5): https://youtu.be/TZ8clQEpzzE
In this episode I modify the carburetor hat so I can put it where I want on top of the carburetor. It doesn’t come without its challenges.
I also spend some time setting up the cold side piping.
It’s all the little things that make up a car you can one day start up and drive. It takes time, and way too much money. Any reasonable person would find a better way to spend their time and money, but not me! I love this crap.

I wonder if the 90 turn affects the mixture any. Now the primary and secondary driver side get the short run and the primary and secondary passenger side get the long run rather than running it straight forward the both primaries get the short run and both seconds get the long run.
Its ok eric my friend a journeyman
carpenter did the same thing with a electric router but the router bit went up his arm most heriffic arm wound ive seen
3 surgeries later and months off of work
Doctors were able to save his arm
That’s a bad ass build tho!!
Watched the whole build back when you first did it didn't realize how long ago that was
Modifying the air inlet of the carb will probably cost you a 100 HP?
This was filmed 2 years ago. That's crazy to me.
You should really buy your self a band saw ?? You probably deserve one by now? Car looks great 👌ðŸ‘ÂÂ
Trick I learned from an old guy that did alot of port and polishing on heads is to add anti seize to the carbide bits to help keep them clean
If I ever try grinding polished aluminum, I hope I remember to wrap the shiny part with cloth and painters tape.
As for the scuffs, I'd try wet-sanding it out with progressively finer grit sandpaper.
Amazing video Eric
you can sand it out with fine grade sand paper and buff it out with mag cleaner.
Just read about this project in Hot Rod magazine.
Very cool 😎
That double cut bit is not for aluminum because it clogs as u seen. It's for cast iron and other Hard material but you had the right bit with the single cut bit that's for aluminum
Should be on a tv show on Discovery Channel.
Is this from 2 years ago? What's up with that?
how about powder coat that carb head?
Wait, I missed why he was re-routing the piping. Heat from the turbo?
RON BURGUNDY?? ERIC THE CAR GUY IS THE VOICE ACTOR OF rOn bUrGunDy
INSANE I SAW A CRAck in the middle of the piece
ya needs a suction thingy like they have in wood working shops
Ls swap it
I laughed when the damage was done to the hat. I'm a bad person.
Nice work Eric
If you can answer this for me I'll be surprised I have a 2006 Dodge Charger it's got a hundred eighty degrees thermostat it's got a brand new engine coolant temperature sensor I've checked to make sure the fans aren't running and I even bleed the coolant to make sure there's no air pockets in the engine but yet I still seem to have an issue with the car getting warm now when it's sitting idle the car warm up to 180 no problem but when I'm driving down the road they can't sustain over 150 degrees doesn't make sense to me not sure what else to check but I watched a handful of your videos trying to figure out this issue for myself if you want to shoot me back a comment and let me know what you think it might possibly be it would be greatly appreciated but I have a feeling you won't even see this
Fairmont is why I found ETCG! Long live the foxbody!!!
Cant wait for more Dads Truck Videos
nice clean look and as far as the hat it still looks good
I say leave the carb hat. Couple of reasons. 1) it adds character 2)reflection of how far you've came with the project 3)keeps you humble to days when you couldn't afford to buy anything and had to patch it to make due for payday
Or a nice ETCG medallion and rivet it on
Eric put a sticker on it! No one will ever know.
Sorry, but if your mechanic ever tells you…hey, if it works I'll go with it…………..find a new mechanic.
Etcg1 was dead today. So iam dropping my happy birthday here 😂
I have that same box, mine is blue. I love it
