 Hey guys, Shaber1000 here. So I thought I'd give you the walk around about on this old cord vet here. Yeah, we're gonna sell the vet. We're not gonna keep it. But, so I thought I'd give you a walk around on it and we're gonna raise the hood and I'm gonna show you what we gotta do to get this thing drivable. It does run, it will start up run. I think I got a video clip of that, but it's not drivable. And apparently I was told, now I don't know, as I haven't had it running long enough to take it for a drive, of course. This is still gotta put the supercharger on and a couple other things. It's about 90% complete, 85% complete on the engine side of it. But, so I don't know if it does have transmission problems, I'm not sure. So we're just gonna have to see what we can do with it. And I'll show you the car. I'll walk you around it and then we'll raise the hood and check it out. So it's just, what is it, a C4. I do believe, it's a 1990. I thought it was a 94, but it does have the side pipes, the functional side pipes. They are hooked up. That is the exhaust. Of course you can see, it does need a good cleaning job. It's got the spinners on it. He's got the, it is too important to check him, but it is not a supercharged factory engine. It is a supercharged engine, but it is an add-on. So it did not come out of the factory supercharged. The paint is still fairly decent. There are a couple blemishes on it that I'm probably gonna have to try to buff out. See, this is scratched here. So some of this will buff out, but that's a scratch. This is scratches. You know, it's not a high dollar vat by any means. It's nothing special. I know we talk about it a lot, but it's not, you know, one of the very expensive, really expensive ones, you know, it's a, here's your fuel tank, right there. That's the fuel tank. And the top is not power on these because they're very light. I mean, to take the top down inside here, I'll show you. There's a button here you can push down to release that. And there's one inside here, up inside of here. They kind of hide the buttons. It releases the top, and then you got your regular ones in here. The interior is okay seat-wise. Seat-wise seats are pretty good shape. It is getting somewhere here because this is where you slide in, you know, because this thing is like, it's kind of like a race car. It does have a nice stereo system in it. See, one of these should be a boost gauge. I don't know if they're hooked up or not. So I'll have to check this all out and see what all's working, what all's not. I see he's got a, I don't know if you can see it right there. He's got a toggle switch for something. I'm not sure what it's for. But so, you know, we're just, once we get it running, I'll have to go over it and we're gonna get the hood latch here, guys. I'm a little guy and this thing is, it's kind of hard for me to get a hold of stuff. I'm gonna get the security light blinkings. If you lock the door, sometimes the alarm will get set or you'll get locked in it or whatever, so there we go. Big old, hang on a second guys, big old fiberglass hood here and that should flip over there and that's what holds it up. It does have the Paxton supercharger, the supercharger. I got in some boxes in the house. So, like I said, we've got all this stuff up here. This is for the, it's taped off because it's for the alternator. We've got another one down here. I'm not sure what it's for. Now, I thought on some of these, see the supercharger's gonna set right up here on top, okay? I thought some of these, you could put the alternator in here, but I noticed I did find a picture, he took a picture of it when he first got it done and they had the alternator sitting over here and so it was turning. So the alternator would have been turning backwards, but it must have been charging. But I have seen them also where the alternator's in here so I'm not sure, like I said, I didn't take it apart. I didn't even know how they had it until I seen them pictures on it. So, that's gonna need to cover, put back on it. I got some vacuum lines, there's a couple of vacuum lines I have to figure out where they go. There is some, there's a couple of bolts missing. Like, okay, like here's a bolt here that they've cross threaded and put in crooked. This is aluminum head, okay? Now, so what I'm gonna have to try to do is I'm probably gonna have to pull this header clear off because I do know that the header gasket is leaking there because it couldn't be tightened right. We do have another header gasket set. What's concerning with me is they had a heating issue. It was ever heating on them. So, I'm thinking, since it had a headset in there, what's concerning me is I'm, you know, I'm thinking he had to pull a head off of it. I'm pretty sure it might have been this side by the way the looks of things are. There is one brand new head gasket in the box. So, what's concerning me is they put one head gasket on. I don't know why because they give you two for a reason. So, I don't know why they would have only put one head gasket on it. Okay, let's go around the other side. It's beyond me. I don't know why that would have been done. And I do believe this mount, right up in here somewhere. I think it goes here from the looks of it. Like I said, it's a puzzle for me. I didn't see it come apart. And I've never dealt with the Paxton superchargers before, which is also known as a blower. Yes, it's an under the hood blower. I got these two things here and I don't think they're hooked up anymore. So, I'm gonna have to find out, trace some things for the boost gauge and find out if it was even hooked up at all or not because we don't know. So, there's another wire here. I know this was a live wire. I taped that one up myself. It's another one that goes to the alternator as well. There is a couple of bolts missing. And there's one right back in there in the top there. I think there's a total of three, maybe four. I thought there was more than that on this side but I do know there's one there missing. Those two bottom ones are in. Let's go check the other side out. Let's see, yes, there's one down there so that'll be two. Pretty sure there was another one up in here. I remember I found, yes, that's two, two missing. There is a couple more. I'm just not sure where they're at right now. And she's gotta go get her mom in a little bit. She's bringing her back from the nursing home. She's gonna come and stay with us. So, I have to try to get this going so we can get her some money so she can have a little money. You know what I mean? So, and he did have a battery tender on it but she took the, of course, you know, had to take the battery tender off to get the car down here and then I did hit the key on it yesterday just to see how much charge was in it. And there wasn't a lot of charge because I rolled the windows down to put the top up and then I rolled the windows back up and it just, you know, they were running slow. You could tell it was here, bro. No, he went inside the vet. He likes getting inside there. He loves that vet. Whenever I work on it, he likes to come with me. So, but, you know, it is what it is. We do need to get it going or, you know, if I can get a fair offer of what it might be worth now but the problem is, you know, once the talent might have transmission issues, the story I'm getting is it wasn't shifting, right? Well, that could be a multiple thing. That don't mean the transmission itself is bad. You know, it could be in the computer system. It could be, you know, something in the linkage or the linkage feels fine. I mean, I just don't know until I get it running to take it for a drive and find out. But I wanted to give you an update, you know, on this thing. It's not our car. Well, you know, she offered it to us. She says, you guys are you guys gonna keep the vet? And we said, no, mom, you know, we'd like to sell it. So you can have a little money. Well, you know, she agreed. But she said, you know, that's fine, but whatever we wanted to do. But I think that's what we're gonna do with it. Now, if it was a 69 Camaro or something, sure. That garage would be cleaned out and it'd be sitting in there. Oh, I had a comment asked if it would fit in the garage or something. And technically, yes, if I cleaned the garage out, it would fit in there, but barely. This thing is longer than what they look, you know? I mean, it's longer than a truck. But the problem is it's so wide. Once I got it in there, I would have no room to walk around and work on it. Okay, so yeah, that was a good question. So thanks for asking that. That way I could answer it for you. Yeah, so that's why it's gotta be out here. That's just a single car garage and that's it. There's no, as you can see, there's no man door on the side even. So it's not even a car and a half, which in order to work on something of this nature, inside a garage, it needs to be at least a garage and a half. This is just a single car garage, you know? We did keep the R-convertible in there a few times. And it was barely enough room to get out. And now that I got my toolboxes and desk and stuff in there, there's just no way I could work on something like this in that garage. Even just nosed in, I wouldn't have room to walk around this thing. It's so wide, hell of an tires, you know? And I would have trouble nosing that truck in there working on the truck. All them garages or fours just to park things in. So no, it's not big enough. So thanks for asking that and I hope that answered your question. So yeah, that's just, like I said, that's just the updates. They never had it dyno'd, but they're saying it's pushing 700 horse and I don't think so because it's just a 350, which is a 5.7 liter. So it's a 350. I'm thinking it might be pushing around 600 horse maybe. If it's running good and tuned right, you gotta tune these pretty much with a computer. But if you got it dialed in pretty close to where it should be, it might be pushing 575 to 600, I think is what I got out of mine. I had an 88, or one of mine, I had an 88, this is a 90. And I had a supercharger on it. It was a wind I think, but it wasn't a Paxton. It was a little different setup, but I was pushing like, I think I was getting 604, 604 horse out of the engine and I was putting 575 to the wheels, 575 horse to the wheels. So that was pretty impressive, not bad. Cause you lose a lot of horsepower from here to back there. You know what I mean? Cause it's gotta go through your transmission and everything. And depending on your gearing and your transmission, your rear end, stuff like that, besides tires you're running, it's going to depend your, it's going to determine your horsepower at the wheels. You know, like brake horsepower, stuff what they call in. Like a lot of people say, you know, like they'll say, be talking, you know, I got 750 horse under the hood. Okay, what are you getting to the wheels? And a lot of people won't know that. But I did have my engine dynoed in my Suburban. I put a 400 small block in it. Of course, they had the 400 transmission, 400 turbo tranny. I punched it out 30 over. I bored it 30 over. I ended up coming out with about a 409. That's what we called it. We called it the 409. Of course it was a 400 bored to a 409. It wasn't a real 409, which was a shame, but they're hard to find. But that's another story. The gear heads know what I'm talking about. That was an accidental engine that turned out to be a great engine. But it was bored out to a 409. I was, I dynoed, what was it? I dynoed it. I run the dyno on the back wheels. Just the back, because it was four wheel drive. I run the dyno on the back wheels. And to the back wheels, I was getting 555 horsepower almost even to the back wheel. So that was pretty impressive. And I did kind of, you know, I run high volume fuel pump, roller rockers, high dome pistons. It had some good compression. So I didn't have the engine dynoed, but I did have the truck dynoed. And I was getting 555 horse to the wheels. So that was pretty impressive on a 7,000 pound vehicle. But this thing, like I said, I mean, it's dirty. I do have the badge that goes on there. It's just a Chevy, a Chevy symbol. But yeah, it's not the sod after that. But like I said, and we're not gonna keep it, it's not ours. But I do enjoy working on it. I love to hear it run, because it is noisy and it rumbles. And it vibrates ground. Yeah, and it's a Chevy. So anyway, you guys. But it's not us, you know, it's just not us. But yeah, I need some work. So we're gonna try to get the strain down. I wanna at least get it before I can, you know, drive it and see if it's not shifting or what's going on with the tranny. If I can maybe service it. I don't know yet what's going on with it. I don't know a lot about the transmissions and these things, okay? So they are, they're weird. They're a weird setup. And I don't know if I can get you under here to show you or not. Really can't see it. But it is a very, it's a very weird setup as opposed to like a regular, you know, transmission in a vehicle. But so we'll just have to see. Maybe there's nothing wrong with it, but I do think I remember her dad telling me one time that it did have an issue with the transmission. We didn't go into detail on it. There should be a piece of rubber that goes across here. So I think she's got all that stuff in boxes for me. She brought everything. She said that was in and around it because I couldn't go with her yesterday. So, so that's fine. Whatever, whatever we need, you know, we'll get later on. So, yeah, this is gonna be a nightmare because I don't, I don't even know if it's all there. But I mean, you can tell by the plates of where the, you know, some of the plates that bolt onto the blower, the supercharger itself, you can see where they're a little dirty. You can kind of tell where they go and where the bolts go, but what bolts, you know, there's a bunch of spacers that go in here because I know something's gonna, you know, for the, for the alternator, you know, I'm gonna have to have spacers because that alternator is gonna be setting up here and it's gonna be bolted on back here. And I know there's, from the looks of the picture, there's something that comes from here over to the supercharger, like a brace. So it's all pretty much chrome stuff. And so, you know, it's just stuff we gotta figure out where the hell it goes, you know what I mean? So, I have to figure out what's going on with you, with the security system. I guess it'll lock in sometimes or something. But anyway, there she is guys, there's the vat. Am I zooming in again? Big ass hood on that thing. The hood's half as big as our little truck. But so yeah, I just wanted to give you an update to make you guys know what was going on. We did not go buy a Corvette. Okay, I didn't hear it in one, but we're gonna take care of this for her mom. So, I don't know, it does look good in the driveway. It would look better cleaned up in the driveway. But yeah, I mean, the motor sounds good, although I didn't have it running long. What you guys seen in that video, if you saw it, is, you know, that's all I had it running. I just wanted to make sure it was gonna fire. I fired it. It does sound pretty good. It doesn't seem to be any knocks. And it sounds like I got the valves adjusted pretty close. So, you know, we just have to get together and make sure there's no leaks. You know, no coolant leaks, no oil leaks, no compression leaks, which I'll probably have to run a compression test on it. It does sound pretty good. It does feel like it's got some good compression, but we just gotta get, you know, we gotta burn them bridges as we go along. But the main thing now, what I'm into now, is I've gotta get them bolts put in there. Okay. And then I'll have to then I'll have to figure out that big ass supercharger. So, all right, like I said, just wanted to give you guys an update on this, on this old girl here. I'm not sure what the mileage is on it. I looked one time and I forget, but yeah, I mean, cleaned up. It's not a bad looking car, but it just, it needs some love. You know, he started getting sick and he kind of, you know, he couldn't work on it anymore, you know, they had stuff sitting on the back of it in the garage. That's oil. That'll come off, but, you know, we'll just have to see what happens. You know, he's got the, you know, supercharged. This is not a supercharged car. You can buy these badges, you know. This is L8, L98. It's not an L98. This is a C4. This is not, someone's glued these on, but see, it says right there, C4 Corvette. Okay, but, so tires are a little low, but that's just from the sentence. This thing hasn't, hasn't been running five years. Well, I got it running, but it hasn't been driven, hasn't been on the road in five years. So it's time we get this thing, get it to where we can at least get it on the road and find out transmission, if transmission's okay, even better. But you guys are gonna come with me on this little journey. We'll do what we can do with it. If we get a good offer on it before it's done, they wanna buy it as is, that's a possibility as well. We can't give the car away, but then again, if you look up the prices of these things, they're not a high dollar car, you know. So, there we go. So that being said guys, I wanna say thanks for watching. Again, just a quick update on that. We'll get a weed eater out here a little bit and see if we can, see if it's gonna run. If it does, that'll be great. I'm gonna sell tomorrow. We're not under the state home order down here in Florida no more. So, but we still wear our masks and stuff. We're still social distancing, but we are not under state home order. I know everyone's talking about that last night. I guess they are until what, May 25th, I think he said or something like that. So hanging there, buddy. So yeah, that's why I'm going selling. So I'm not, you know, breaking any rules. It's just, you know, plus that's, that's kind of like my bread and butter is selling. So I need to get, you know, get back, back on track with that. So there's gonna be a bunch of us set up down here and we're gonna try to sell tomorrow. So I'm gonna check out the weed eater that I bought yesterday. May check out the push motor today. I don't know. I'm supposed to be taking it easy today. I just can't sit around. You know, monkeys like, oh, you're not gonna do nothing tomorrow, are you? I said, no, I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna make a little video. You're not gonna pull on anything, are you? I don't know why. She tries to get me to live tour. She doesn't wanna mess around cause she's gotta go get her mom. While she's gonna get her mom, I'm gonna get the weed eater out and I'm gonna bring you guys with me. All right, so thanks for watching guys. Stay tuned for some more awesome videos of this awesome little car here. So one good thing is though, I didn't get to take her dad for a drive in it like I wanted to before he passed away. But in the video where we first started this thing up, her dad saw that video from the nursing home. He did get, he benched watched my videos at night is what mom said and laughed his ass off at some of them. So he did get to hear his car running again before he passed away. And I kind of felt bad about that. And then monkey mentioned, well, didn't you do a video on that? It's like I did and her dad did watch it because she brought it up for him to watch and say, look, he's getting closer. And I guess he got a big smile on his face. He was happy to hear this thing run again. So he did get to hear it run before he passed away. So that's good. At least he heard it run. I know it's through a video, but he knows it's going in the right direction now. So thanks for watching guys. Appreciate it. Shae Berry the myth man legend golf now. Bye bye guys, take care.
