This was the first live stream I did this way. I still have a few things to work out. **I did NOT disable comments to this video.

Cameraman Brian recently purchased a 2013 Toyota Rav 4. He had a very annoying noise coming from the dash while he was driving.

My old K member was for the i6 and would not accommodate the new V8 engine I'm putting in the Fairmont. I had to swap the K member no matter what.

I've been doing these 'Meet Up's' for 5 years now and each year it gets bigger. In 2016 we seem to have found the limits of having the 'Meet Up's at the shop.

Thank you for watching! Links to stuff talked about in the show below. The next live hang out is scheduled for September 7, 2016 at 7pm EST. The next show will go out on YouTube live.

It finally came time to remove the old engine and transmission from my #FairmontProject.

This is the first test drive I took after installing the new differential and rear brakes. I had intentionally done this modification first for a couple of reasons.

**Sponsored Post** There are a lot of things you shouldn't do to your vehicle, this video covers 5 of them.

Nobody's perfect is what comes to mind when I made this video.

In this episode I did something a little different and spent the entire show on the #FairmontProject. Watch this video and you'll know everything you need to know about the Fairmont as of 8/10/2016.

*Sponsored Video* In this video we learn the basics of battery testing in both my shop, and at AutoZone. The people at AutoZone are very helpful, especially Kelly.

It's finally come time to install the new 8.8 differential in the #FairmontProject. There were only a couple of snags along the way. For the most part this seemed to go pretty smoothly.

**Sponsored Post** My friend Gale was going to take her vehicle on a road trip. She asked me to point out some of the things to look for on her vehicle before she left.

In order to make room for my freshly rebuild 8.8, I needed to remove the old differential from my 1979 Ford Fairmont.

Sometimes your AC system might not be working as good as it should. Sometimes this is due to a low system charge.

The #FairmontProject needs to stop as well as it goes. In this video I cover the installation of the brake lines on the differential.

**Sponsored Post** It was totally awesome that I got to the F1 race in Montreal Canada 2016.

Here's (Part 2) of the Ford 8.8 differential assembly and set up. This took a little longer than expected, hence the need for a 2 part video.

Thank you for watching! I know this one was something of a surprise, but I wanted to see if I could do the show from the shop. I just got new internet today!

I made this video just before assembling my Ford 8.8 differential. I thought it would be a good idea to cover some of the basics before I dove into this part of the build.

After disassembling my differential it needed to be cleaned before I reassembled it. I also had plans to paint it while I was at it. Why not? This video covers all of those processes.
