Awesome, just awesome work. Lou, you're an artist (and funny too)!

[sylvainr.]

Something has to be said about your patience and the fact that you don’t mind spending two days doing a “2-hour” job! It will all show in the final product. Well done Lou!!!

[howardscott]

Wow, impressive engineering and fabricating. Enzo would be proud!

My Sunday is complete, NFL football and another project 308 episode.
Thanks Lou....

Lou; Big fan of the channel, especially this episode. I'm relatively new to the 308 world, bought my '85 in 2013. My California car is super nice, but overheating is it's Achilles' heel. Awesome job with those fans. Trust me, you'll be super glad you did so.

These videos are informative and fun to watch. Let's hope you end up getting the amount of subscribers this channel deserves.

Hi Lou. Binge watched P308 to this point. Great stuff! The perfect mix of video, info, and entertainment. I'll be following to the end!

[michaelcaputo]

Another great episode, great job! I'm a caraholic, love the classics but I can barely turn a wrench so I appreciate watching the process. Thank you for sharing the journey with us. Keep 'em comin!

[vrotait]

A fantastic episode that had me welded to the seat til the end!

Lou, PRETZELMAN here, I'm the guy doing a '77 GTB right now as well. And, like this video, currently I am finishing some refurbishment up front. Great videos, thanks a lot! I am down in the Myrtle Beach area with the car, you sound Canadian! 🤓

Upgraded the original fans to new fans on my 308 in July. Worked wonders, temp went from 220 down to 190f. Must be the shrouds!

[jonathanohagan]

I was blown away by this episode, hugh fan.

[s.hall.]

The rest of your work and vid, brilliant!!!

New guy came home that night and when his girlfriend asked him about his day on his new job, , '' It went pretty good, my new boss asked me to sit on a chair then he told me,
''close your eyes and let me blow air on your face...Oh and he filmed it'
Pretty good day.
And for a minute, I thought Terry fell asleep LOL
Also, you're so right about thinking about a project, ''evaluating'' that it will take a week end, ending up taking weeks or even months to finish.
And you you have pretty much all the tools you need.
Good one Sir! I'm modifying the fans on a 72 Corvette that I'm rebuilding, I like the ideas you come up with.

[Rodktm]

I really enjoy your videos Lou. Keep the good work and thanks

[themessenger]

Hey Lou, as usual your skills and patience paid off. Nice job mate. Thanks for sharing your efforts. Marc

[joelaurieri]

Impressed by the amount if thought an effort you went to in mounting those fans.... even a purist would be proud ;-)

[rodnewman]

Great job on all of the video's. I have a 328 and while a little different, this gives me some great material to start from. I am not a mechanic by trade and have some fear in working on my car, because it is a Ferrari. Great reference material! Looking forward to more!

[albertcoetzee]

good vid Lou.. looking forward to the next
