Please explain to this dummy what I am seeing. Is that a car or a backhoe?

How do you like the killduff?

In its raw form it was lacking any level of quality finish. I spent some time cleaning it up. Functionality was good though

Badass. You got a 4 speed auto?

 

[younggun2.0]

I have a 3sp auto with manual valve body. I just copy pasted first vid I found. Same concept except mine is 3speed

It’s not talent.... it’s trial and error. I’ve got a pile of **** I’ve messed up in the corner. If I can do it anyone can..
