Hey Matt the reason our winches are hidden behind the bull bar is because of the transport department rules where you can't have anything protruding past or out of the perimeters of the bull bar

[mikewieggers]

Matt, my suggestion for the front bumper. Make it wide enough to stand on when servicing the engine.

Having competed in the NORRA 1000 (Vintage version of the BAJA 1000) 3 times, I can assure you that sand in the starter is not the only place you'll have to be concerned about. The silt beds are a "mechanical everything" killer. We had to replace the clutch every day (sometimes multiple times a day)... I commend you for wanting to take part in the SCORE Baja 1000 but you may want to get your seat time in the NORRA Mexican 1000. It would shorten your time table by 1 month but it's much more manageable for your 1st taste of the Mexican racing events in my opinion. In any case, press on, you're doing great!

I can’t say I’ve ever seen the inside of a Corvair engine but the rules of engine building have never changed…..cleanliness is next to Godliness……and I would never think about putting this engine back together until it was thoroughly cleaned!! Every tiny orifice. I watched this 17 year old son of a guy I worked for glass bead all the pistons since he was going to re-ring this 350 and he put it together over the weekend stuck it in this lifted square body! It ran for about twenty minutes before I’d started knocking really bad. Well come to find out he didn’t clean all the glass beads that had stuck in the underside of the piston skirts!! That decent motor went to the scrap iron pile!

The whole purpose of this channel, all the merchandise, the tow company, and everything else is to feed Matt's Corvair addiction.

[randytolle]

I saw negative comments about Jake and Katlyn. Don't understand why. Jake seems comfortable talking on camera and i enjoy his addition to the team.

Katlyn is knowledgeable and i enjoy her input to the channel. I think most of us miss Lizzy but if Katlyn leaves we will miss her too.

In Australia, drop bears will rip off winches sell the copper. Hiding them is generally enough to deter.

[Plunko]

32:16 Aussie here, I like the look as it looks neater in my opinion, also by tucking it inside the bullbar, it’s somewhat protected when you hit a roo

Hi all at MORR, so sand In your starter, brings back memories of my Stock car (English stock cars a single seater steel tubed frame with steel bumpers front and back, ) but I was racing with others on an English speedway track In the stadium on a surface we called shale, it was more like red brick dust ground finely, but was a wet meeting, as I went round a turn (a race of 30 laps with 20 cars out there) through a puddle that got thrown up into my bell housing, as I had my foot on the clutch, the fine particles got behind the circular spring of the clutch stopping it from gripping when I released the clutch peddle. My night was done. I enjoyed the BAJA build but worried you may need stronger shocks all around judging by other competitors' vehicles. But you build tough Derby cars so you know vehicles needs. Good Luck when it comes around

[lonhoschar]

Wow! So many projects! Sand buggies, pre-runners, Corvairs, derby cars, Spud-Truck. Engines getting rebuilt! You have a LOT of things going on. Love it!!!!

[albertorozco]

Matt and his son hugging was an awesome " father son moment " 💯

[sidbiggs]

I love the joyful look on everyone’s faces driving the Baja buggy. The look that says “this is awesome and I’m getting PAID to do it.” 😂

[trickydale]

Fish plating a frame is typically used when someone is building a custom frame and two pieces of steel are met and a plate is created to overlap both pieces to add structure support: that’s the best I could find

[SwedishDeathLlama]

"I'm just gonna stop working on the prerunner and cuddle with Peanut for a minute." Wise words Matt! We should all remember to stop and smell the roses.

[devarskinnee]

Matt sure loves those kids, how good is that!!!God bless you all!! Such a great family!!! Thank you for the journey!!

[PumaBoiii]

I love that Rhett made Matt a derby car, what a good son. You can see how proud Matt is for that car, good job rhett

[kossmonaut]

"i love puttin stuff on other peoples plates" what a great kiddo you got

[OptimusPrime-wzvl]

Hey Collin, the door handle on your ford is a mechanical linkage(cable I believe)it may just need re-attached inside the door. I'm a collision tech, worked on lots of them

[tacticooldennis]

Cool cool thing about a used Corvair, is that there are just as many engine parts loose in the cab as there are in the engine bay.

[John--qhxl]

Really grabbed my heart to see Matt hug Ret like that. Nice, Matt. What a blessing to have such great sons to have so much fun and life with. And, of course, lady Jamie is such a gem.
