Foreign Freddy Did you just teach my wife how to drive a McLaren wait did you drive with no hood from Ohio Nice to meet you Nice build a van with cans. Uh you guys want to see what the van can do? If you guys were around for the last video then you know we are at Indiana Muscle Car in Leesburg Indiana It is now day three of this build so we have today and tomorrow to finish this van so we can make it to the big event the fill the van with cans event. uh which is now like I don't know, nine days away or something like that. So we got Taylor under here finishing up some wiring and Justin working on the tune.
Are we gonna Dino this thing today or what? We're gonna make some van boost here in a couple hours. All right. So lots of little odds and ends to wrap up. so let's get to work.
Taylor's wrapping up all of the wiring right now. So these are the relays and fuses for our gigantic fuel pumps in the tank that you guys saw in the last video from Aeromotive and he is finishing up the wiring for the fans. So we have two relays and two fuses for the fans as well and power's being taken directly off the battery for the fans and at the back of the alternator for the fuel pumps. That is some serious electric fan action.
So if you guys remember originally this had a mechanical fan with a gigantic fan shroud. You couldn't really see any of the engine whatsoever, but look at the amount of room for activities. I Mean we could fit two. We could fit two.
Pro: Chargers in here. Okay, this is wild guys. This is wild. They are getting my logo on the charge pipe to the intercooler.
Oh man. I Can't believe this. I I want one of these now? I'm now on my phone searching for laser etchers I want to laser etch. Everything Cold air intake is done pretty and Justin got the Lse logo on this pipe.
We could see a little bit we can see the LSC part, but this looks really, really good though. The pro charger kit comes with a hard plastic one that goes somewhere over here on the trucks, but it didn't fit on the van at all. But at the end of the day, the filter is in the same spot that it would have been with the actual pro charger kit. Looks beautiful.
All right. We are laser etched. look at the welds. So good! Here's our Corvette Camaro mass airflow sensor and Taylor repinned it so it works with the van wiring harness and she's going in so much room.
I Think we need to add another, another, one. another pro charger. why not? That is so nice. This clears the fans perfectly.
I'm thinking about having all the pipes powder coated satin black so obviously I'll leave the logo there. uh, the bracket and the pro charger as well. but a kind of crazy idea I had was what if I had everything painted Chevy van patina color where we do the tri-coat primer with the flaking white. If there's like a painting artist that could duplicate that on pipes, how do I not do that? At least for a little while? All right, This is a momentous occasion. My first oil change on the van. It was done I think like 2500 miles ago by the previous owner, but after doing the valve springs and having everything open, we ran it for a bit. We are definitely changing this oil. There we go, Old oil.
We're going back together with a 15 000 mile Amsoil filter. I Won't go that long though. I'll probably just do it once a year depending on the miles we'll see. Give this a little.
Titan You know I'm using the 530 signature series from Amsoil I use Amsoil on everything if you guys want to save 25. I'll leave a link down below for you. We're finishing up the wiring for the fuel pumps. the dual fuel pumps.
Nice crimp dude that looks good. Wiring is all done. Look at, look at the beautiful work that they've done. This is so nice.
Uh, go ahead you want to try it for the first time. Oh yeah, perfect. So right now we're running the two aftermarket pumps which are these lines here. This is the main feed from the factory pump that's going to run all the time when we're just driving around and then there's a Hob switch to activate these.
so he just completed that circuit. Everything is running. no leaks, ethanol sensor We are good. So this is a Hob switch and what this does is it will activate the dual fuel pumps when it senses anything over four PSI of boost pressure.
So we have our reference line there going to the intake manifold and this is the electrical connector and something that I love. is that the main fuel pump? the factory fuel pump for the van. If it goes bad, we could jump that connector and it'll run both of those pumps and check it out. You don't even need to hack up some wiring to build a jumper.
literally just use a fuse. It's perfect. So let's say we're out in the middle of nowhere rescuing a car with the van and that fuel pump dies out. We're making it home with literally just jumping two pins.
That's it. It's very legit. Three cars and you know what else is very legit. Three cars giving you guys my viewers, my subscribers early access to the biggest blowout 4th of July sale on the very complete Armor Shield 9 DIY Ceramic coating kit from Avalon King So normally one DIY kit is 75 and for a limited time only if you guys click on my link down below no coupon code is needed.
You're gonna get three kits for 99 and you can get five kits for only a hundred and forty nine dollars. And if you do that, you're gonna get the Avalon King Car Wash shampoo, a wash mitt, and their three pack of ultra plush microfibers for free. Now the application process is super easy. After you've cleaned your car, you're gonna apply a few drops to the supplied applicator, pad, rub it on, wait 60 seconds and buff it off with a microfiber and you're done.
And the benefits are amazing on painted surfaces of your car. The ceramic coating will bond with the clear coat and create an invisible layer protecting your car from the elements. and this will also make the Surface very hydrophobic so water and dirt will bead right off. This will keep your car cleaner in between car washes and you can coat every exterior surface including the wheels so brake dust doesn't build up the glass so you can use your wipers less. And my favorite part is the trim restoration. Don't bother buying a separate product, the ceramic coating will restore dull and Faded black trim instantly. This is very satisfying and it just makes your car look much newer now. I Spoke with Sarah from Avalon King about giving you guys a few day Head Start before the sale gets released to the public so these things always sell out so we're the only ones that know about this at the moment.
so definitely click on the link down below. take advantage of the deal before they're gone and also I Told her about what we're doing with the fill the Van with Cans event and they couldn't be here in person. So Avalon King is donating one thousand dollars to the Saint Vincent's Marillac Family Services charity who we're going to be donating all of the food and essential items to. So a huge thanks for the amazing sale and for supporting a good cause! This is gonna be our first start with everything done! I Gotta say Justin's face tune is so good and it just fires up.
Now he's done a few different versions of this just for the startup and it's it's meant. Oh listen to that. That's like the quiet bypass valve, right? There's a louder one. that's the quiet one.
So this uses a bypass valve, not a blowout valve. But essentially it does the same thing as far as cool noises and they make a louder one from pro charger. So I I'd have to get that one day. It sounds so good though.
So this is through the mufflers before. That Definitely sounds way better than the factory exhaust going through the mufflers and then we have the cut out anyway. Uh, we gotta go get some gas. let's drive it for the first time.
Oh there it is. You had to do it. Yeah, something else the guy spent a lot of time on is to get the air conditioning and then the fans to work properly. So they had to take a Chevy Camaro tune file and zip that into our vans computer and now we have full pulse width modulation control of the fans.
We're gonna go turn the AC on right now. Yeah, you did it all right. I got AC It's a real legit Street Van Now perfect. This is something you don't see every day.
Kind of want to leave it like this, but it'll look cool with the Grille back on. we'll see a lot of that intercooler. I think God it runs so good. Oh and by the way, uh, this is my rental car.
This is what I've been driving for the last three days and uh, it's very slow. It's a Chevy Spark with a CVT transmission naturally aspirated. It's really bad and I've realized that if you lay into it for more than like five or six seconds, there's an alarm that goes off. It's like a Full Throttle alarm from the rental company. I Thought I was getting pulled over last night. This thing was going nuts. Pretty sure that's what it was. It just went away when I stopped going.
Full Throttle But you need Full Throttle on a Chevy Spark to pull out of these country roads here in Indiana At night these cars are flying you and kids. let's go to school dad. Maiden voyage here. Totally totally normal HP Tuners hooked up Did you do something with the Trans Tune yet? okay I Can tell it shifts a little more firm now, a little too tight, but we'll get to it.
We'll clear the Adaptives when we get fuels. see how it works. Cool. It was pretty wild crazy these beautiful Indiana roads.
This is exactly what this Pro Church van was built for. Engine Coolant Temp 216, Trans Fluid 169. everything's up to operating temperature. We're putting some fuel in the van.
we're down to about two gallons left, so we are going to put in some 93, but we will also be using some ethanol as well. This is mostly so. Justin can work on the bass tune first on regular 93 and then we'll work in the ethanol. We'll just do six gallons.
That's good I Just checked our oil and our supercharger oil and everything is good. No leaks, no issues with the belt. Everything sounds perfect. We're gonna try out subs from Elmo's dude that looks legit for a gas station sub.
not bad. You got the Sycamore not bad and they warmed it up. It's toasted and everything. Sweet guys Elmo's in Leesburg Indiana Give it a try! This is hilarious! This is the complete service history right from GM Just three visits to the dealership and its entire life and it had all of its oil changes done.
So this is just showing all the repairs right here. And it had a fuel pump done. at 88 000 miles. Passenger side, instrument panel performance, whatever that is 70 000 one mile.
The PDI the pre-delivery inspection. That's it. This thing's just been a trooper its entire life and in my opinion we're rewarding it with Boost We have manual shift the engagement. let's look at that.
We got little buttons here on the column shifter so after I did the CTS-V transmission. None of that worked. So Justin had to flash it back a hundred percent back to its van calibration. So we got that back without having to drop the valve body and switch it over from the van.
And everything. So sweet! So we're going for Drive Number Two This time we have a wide band connected two HP tuners so we can give it a little bit of throttle and and see what happens a little. Rich Sounds good though with a little boost. let's open up the cutout.
sounds so good that's America right there. This is America right here guys! This is awesome! I Wouldn't say this was ever on my bucket list. Um, we pulled over in a boat service and sales Center in the parking lot to do a little bit of tuning. So what we're seeing here is on our wideband sensor. We're extremely rich. That was my first guess. 9.6 air fuel ratios what we're using here on gasoline. so we're going to take about 15 out of the math curve.
take a peek at the trans torque at the same time and uh, see if it's 11.50 We've got an AFR pretty close right now. it is time to hit the dyno. Oh yeah, the moment I've been waiting for for a long, long time. You really need a gigantic Dyno room to fit this thing.
Look at this fan they got. Oh my. God Oh my. God Justin How I think we got the room to mount this under the hood? It is a turbo.
Look at this, that's so cool. Okay run number one sounded amazing. 465 wheel horsepower. Not a bad start.
not a bad start at all. So that was with the cutout closed and I think it sounds perfect back there. It's got that deep throaty sound so we'll have to try this with the cutout open right now. You definitely know something's going on back there.
but up front oh my gosh, that is where the party is at with the blower and the bypass valve. I Love it! That was a clean run. Everything felt great. 11 pounds of booze.
We're about 11.2 air fuel ratio so I'm gonna fix that up, get a little bit more aggressive with timing and look for 500 rear wheels on 93. I Love to hear it. 500 wheel on 93 and then we're putting the corn oil in and we're in Indiana of all places it's just so pity it's a lot of fans. We had all the air in the world.
Look at this. This is awesome. All right. I Know the fans are loud so I'm gonna get up close for this one.
We'll hear this blower foreign just with two degrees more of timing. So we're at 15 total degrees of timing Advance 408 and 83 horsepower, 436 foot-pounds of torque still on 93 still with the closed cut out. still with pretty conservative timing. We had one degree of timing.
So I'm looking for 493 rear wheels. That's your guess. 493. Okay, whoa, whoa.
you were off. You were off, but in a really good way. 505 with just one more degree. Nice.
All right, we broke 500 on 93 still with pretty low timing. That's awesome. So that's like about the lowest horsepower this van will have because that's 93 Octane with the cutout closed going through that tiny Factory tail light. That's really good by the way.
I Just like to point out that Justin owns a third Gen Firebird My first and second car were Firebirds What do you got? What do you got at home Second Gen Firebird There we go. I Mean this is a match made in heaven. I Had no idea of the amount of Firebird ownership that was in this building before I came and it just makes me even more happy. All right.
we have our ignite fuel going in so this is E90 and if you guys saw the last video then you saw the barrels being dropped off. So 90 ethanol 10 gasoline is some really high quality stuff. but Justin's going to take into consideration that I won't be using this all the time. I'll just be using pump E85 so he won't go as crazy with the timing as he could if he knew I was going to run this full time. So we primed the pumps. We have 37 ethanol content right now. We sell it quite a bit of 93 in there going for a rip inside. I Gotta see what this thing looks like under booth at 6000 RPM Oh look at that! Just from that run we got up to 46 percent on the ethanol.
Suite So this is how we make additional power with the flex fuel or the E85 is we add spark which blower Vehicles like this procharged van are very, very responsive to. So right now we're going to bump this table up a little bit looking for some more power. Two degrees of timing right there. Yep in the ethanol table T Sounds just like a bluff valve on a turbo car.
Yeah, we're at 45 ethanol right now. I Didn't pick up too much on that one. 508 This was a run we did right before that just to try up yet. but I'll kind of hot lap that one so we'll cool it down a little bit.
We've let this cool down for about 10 minutes. Music to my ear it sounds so good. Look at this with the headlight out. I Mean it's getting all the cold air All right.
Keeps going up. 514 horsepower, 400, and almost 70 foot-pounds of torque. We got another five gallons of E90 going in. We only got up to 44 ethanol content, so we should definitely get a bump in power.
All right. We've given it a 20 minute cooldown. Foreign? No way. No way.
Sure dude. 545 wheel? Whoa. would you? Uh, what was the ethanol on that one? E60 So we can see 560? Really? If we tried it again, that's insane. That's insane.
545 wheel, uh, and 505 foot-pounds of torque on my 15 passenger van? All right. So we gave it a 10 minute cool down and we want to do an experiment and see if we close the cutout how much power it makes. All right sleeper status see if that does anything foreign. Definitely lost a little bit of power.
The engine was probably a little bit warmer intake air temperature probably a little bit higher, but I do think the cutout makes a difference. I'm thinking the cutout was probably about a 10 wheel horsepower difference. Something like that. So tomorrow we're going to pull it up.
We're gonna pull it off the dyno. now. we're going to work on the Trans Tune tomorrow. But tonight because we're tired and we need energy, we have to go do a burnout in Indiana with a van for science For science For science right? What do you? What do you think for scientific purposes I Think we need a new burnout.
It's necessary Yep This engine is so quiet. You gotta know what you're listening for here. I Don't know I Gotta say before I was unsure what would win in a race my stock van or the Chevy Spark but now now I know the LSC Express is coming for you I don't really know who it's coming for. It's still like a 6 400 pound 15 passenger van. but it sounded cool. all right. So we're gonna try and turn off traction control completely. but Stabilitrak stays on.
Uh, we don't know if it's gonna do a burnout. let's find out. Oh, we're good. the burnout for sure.
We weren't sure if the computer was going to kick in and prevent us from doing what we want to do, but it doesn't. The man is giving us full freedom to do whatever we want because it's America and we're in a Chevy 3500 Express in the Midwest I Wish you guys could have felt the pressure coming out of the exhaust. That's insane. It just like blew all this grass all over the place.
That sounds so good and that's without the cutout open. This isn't the Posi rear end, unfortunately foreign. We're still having some traction control issues here, but it just sounds like a race car. Good thing I just did new tires too.
Here's uh, here's part of them. So yeah, just shaved off a few thousand miles of Tire Look at this as he gets going though. it's turning into a positive spin in both of the wheels. that's nice dirty that burnout.
It was only going to 2500 rpm. The stability control would rev the 2500 drop to 2000 2500 2 000. we might have to pull a fuse tomorrow, so we're gonna call it quits. Right now it's getting kind of late.
We're gonna head back to Indiana from Mexico and get back at it tomorrow. Pull a few, see if it'll do a wicked wicked burnout and then I gotta drive this thing back to Chicago Probably shouldn't feed on it too bad, but we will. Let's just do like a zero to 70. Okay and then the stability troll kicks in and all that stuff.
Yeah, we gotta do something about that. Taylor Just brought up a good point that today was all wins. I Mean we put a lot of work into this van over the last three days, but everything went really well today and there's so many little moving. Parts Any little thing could kind of messy up and we did good.
We did good. I'm Gonna Knock on the dash now. it lets you rip it right off the line. It has so much power it turns the open differential into a pause.
Oh, we are gonna figure this out tomorrow. Oh, we're still good. We still got another 60 000 miles. This is now same generation and you put a cam in this thing.
it's out of E85 with heads in a cam That's hilarious. Look at that. Have you seen my wife's supercharged Escalade videos? No. Okay so my wife has a 2015 white Cadillac escalator that's awesome and I secretly supercharged it? We're one in the same coming out of my hotel and what do I see? A sweet Chevy van in gray with final seats.
Oh nice. this thing's got vinyl seats I Want those. This is mint beautiful look at that. No rust, no dents.
Love it. This on the other hand, I don't really love this is. uh, it's it's not that much fun. Cold start. it's very underwhelming. It's very look at how bad this is CBT Trans fake shifts. Watch this that's fake. Yep, still going.
It is a nice little economy car though. Probably gets like 40 miles per gallon. and it was. It was cheap to rent.
All right. we're gonna go try and do a burnout again, hopefully succeed. This time we brought some tools to pull fuses just in case we need to and I just added the pro charger, front license plate bracket or holding the button down here for about 10 seconds. There we go, we'll see if that sticks.
We're gonna weigh the van right now. Justin What do you think? What's your guess? No People 66 20. Okay, I'm a hater. 6900 Okay, all right.
I'm gonna go 64.50 We do have some stuff in here, but 64.50 You guys want to put some money on this? Five bucks. Five bucks. Five bucks. Five bucks.
The steaks are big here. Wait is. did you already weigh it? Yeah, that's it. Yeah, yeah.
what? no Is that with all of us? Wait. Hold on. Hold on. Yeah.
hold on. Oh okay. that's what they're all about. Okay, 73.60 I'm like, oh my gosh, like I bought this thing because it was lightweight.
You know. Oh, you're closer. Oh, you're closer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you didn't go over and you're closer.
Pay up 67 6700. Wow. Okay, it has probably 200 pounds. Hold on a second guys I Asked that question.
All right. it's got about 200 pounds worth of tools and cans and stuff. Some people have already given me cans for the fill the van with cans event. Uh, so realistically this thing would be about 6 500 pounds dry.
and then with me driving it, about 6 700 pounds? Yeah, roughly. Yeah, so cool. It's heavy. Yeah.
Justin Got it though. we own five bucks. Wait, is that five bucks each? Oh wow. He's taking us to the cleaners here.
You want to go to the Head Yeah, there's top speed on this. Oh, you don't know yet? Uh well. uh uh. I don't know I know we went about 115.
that's that's about as fast as I was comfortable with. Man, that's pretty bad. Yeah. So if we would have Dino this in fourth gear which is much closer to one to one, we probably would have seen what like a 30 wheel horsepower increase something like that.
So you typically want a Dyno a vehicle at one to one with the transmission ratio, but that would put us at like 145 miles per hour on the dyno. And we don't know about this two-piece van. Drive shaft is definitely never designed for that kind of speed so we didn't We didn't push it. Well, we're gonna go to Mexico and do some burnouts right now.
Mexico's right there. Oh, it's right over there. Oh that's oh yeah, it's right. it's right over the tracks.
Yeah, yeah, you guys should be good. The cops are falling a drunk driver right now so they're all busy with a drunk driver. Yeah, oh good. This is the fuse for the ABS pump that we're pulling and I think I'm gonna have to make a switch for this so I can just do it inside the car because this is kind of a lot of work. I Have to take the air intake off and everything and this cover kind of stinks. It won't let us do it I Wants to rip. It wants to rip. Even with the literal fuse for the ABS system pulled, it's still doing something we might have to pull more fuses.
All right. We looked it up in this 40 amp here has something to do with the traction control system too, so let's get rid of it. I Pulled the other fuse so we have both abs and traction control fuses pulled. uh and Taylor went around and unplugged all of the wheel speed sensors as well.
So this van shouldn't have any information to cut down our throttle so we can't do a burnout. And no, you cannot tune this out. We've definitely tried Foreign. Oh my gosh, look at that.
I'm driving this home in a few hours. That was what the cutout closed. By the way, it sounds good. It's clean.
Whoa look at that. That's a lot of one tire fire right there. I Love this man so much it's so stupid. Comment down below if this type of Van a Chevy Express has ever been at your work van because that's all I see around Chicago There's like eight million of these.
There's painters, construction workers, everything you can imagine. Let me know if this is a band. You guys probably drove around for work for years and if you would have liked it to be like this I know I would have it's just so silly foreign. that was awesome I buried the speedometer so I didn't know how fast we were going.
So I've got HP tutors logging in, but I've got about 120 in fourth gear the whole time so it never turned into a posse. It was just straight one tire fire. We could do it again. I'm gonna I'm gonna have to get that G80 option for the diff.
we can light it again. Okay I kind of want to light it. Oh yeah I want to do it I want to do it. This is hilarious.
If you guys were around for the first video, we wanted to protect the patina before we worked on it and it's starting to come up. We're leaving this on see if that survives all the way back to Chicago We're Going cut out open for this. It's still smoking on the ground. Foreign.
We're leaving Mexico Now nothing happened. Nothing to see here folks. Yeah, it's almost dead. Oh whoa.
One more burnout stuff. These tires were brand. They had 500 miles on them. Are you kidding me? Oh my gosh that was.
We did like a total of two burnouts. What dude, look at that that is definitely stained. This one's decent, but we didn't always get this guy to spin except for that last one. I did third gear so probably like 80 90 miles an hour and Justin did fourth gear.
Like 120 miles an hour on that tire. That's it folks. that tire is basically bad now. but it was worth it.
It was well worth it. I Want to see if this Grill fits? It should be pretty close. Yeah, oh, that's gonna look so good. Does it touch on anything? Oh yeah, yeah. we just got to do a little bit of trimming right there. probably on the other side too. Foreign tools are kind of cool. Let's see if she fits.
Look at that perfect clearance. The yellow lights will cover up this right here because we wouldn't want anyone to see that we had to modify the van at all. Dog House is going back in. say goodbye to my little motor.
Doghouse's back end needs a lot of cleaning. You could tell this is a fleet vehicle. There headlights are back on I do have new ones that I forgot in Chicago and I also forgot the original fan shroud for the mechanical fan. The guys told me we can cut that up and use that to hold the radiator properly.
so I'll do that as well. But here you go. The Supercharged Patina Express Van with paint protection film. If you're looking ahead on you can definitely see what's going on here, but from the side it kind of disappears.
It starts turning into just a normal work van. Look at that so we can see on our max power run our injector duty cycle. We've got a reasonably big injector in here. It's only 59, meaning we've got an additional 40 percent, 30 or 40 percent on the injector that we could use once.
Alex adds more power to the van, which is entirely possible it could happen. Another great thing is these fuel injector connection. Every injector comes with its own data on a USB so as a tuner, it's very easy, very accurate. I Just plug that in HP Tuner software and I've got all the improper objective data ready for me to tune the van.
and just and Justin What is that data exactly? Is it? Because every injector is not exactly the same. Every injector has different opening times and different characteristics. so they've Quantified those characteristics and I can place that directly into HP tuners. copy and paste Very easy.
I've used quite a few two sets from fuel injector connection and they all work really, really well. A great company, good customer service. I'll definitely drop that link down below, but as you guys probably saw, we're tuning with HP tuners, which is something I'm kind of familiar with I tuned my nine second turbo Trans Am but Justin is way more familiar than I am and he's kind of a whiz at this stuff. So here's a really powerful thing about HP tuners is we've got full pinpoint ability of the timing curve on this van.
so if we can look at the screen here, here's what: I've got in the Vans timing curve. so it's a 3D table, but let's just talk about the major power area which is right down here so you can see. this timing table starts high, high is typically more power and it actually comes down this little Hill right here as the pro charger builds boost. So the GM E38 computer which is in this van is an extremely powerful computer when it comes to mass airflow tuning. So I'm running this van 100 mass airflow base because that E38 is so accurate. We've actually got the fueling for the entire van. This is the fueling from boost to idle to cruising on this one simple curve right here. It's very simple, it's very easy to understand and Giga makes it very accurate.
So this van actually came with one of the best, one of the easiest to control computers. So again again GM New! They knew what we were going to do and they hooked us up. This is so nice. Oh it's mint.
It's so nice. You hear the blower in the front, you hear the exhaust in the back. This engine without the doghouse I mean it's just loud and hot and now it's just. it's a beautiful thing.
ACs on fans are working. It's a normal van again, but with like how many more times the power do we make. So these do like 245 wheel horsepower stock and we're at 500 we've had. we had it, we added 300 horsepower.
that's insane and then Justin realistically drivetrain loss. What are we looking at at the engine on something like this I would say you know with this kind of driveshaft, two-piece steel drive shaft at least 20 maybe 22. So this is like a 700 horsepower engine car. If you did 11 PSI on like a Camaro or something, it would have put down over 600 wheel for sure, right? Yeah, so we need that.
We need that to tow cars around and get to soccer practice. Yeah The last thing we have to do before I drive back to Chicago is wide open throttle shifts. See, we'll see if we can get the hook. Yep, get down right? Yeah, in the middle of that.
Yeah! I put all the fuses back in and everything. I thought man, this thing just wants to rip them off the line. we can't even just take off. I might have to get a drag radial for this van.
It needs way more traction. Oh there we go Man this thing is quick. I don't know. This would be a really good race with my wife's supercharged.
Escalade This thing is quick so when it shifted into third gear, it actually spun the tires and turned on the stability control light so it's making that kind of horsepower. We're going over to the rental car place so I can drop off this and drive the van home. So if you take three vehicles that is Justin's pro-charged Super Duty and there's my Pro charge. Express All right before we part ways, we got to take a look at this.
Indiana Muscle Car Power That's awesome! Whoa. look at that. Wow 2021 Super Duty with the 7-3 Godzilla Look at the pipes. Jeez, what did this put down Again, it's on about 520 rear wheel so it's about 675 Grand Nice Are you driving this to the event? depending how many kids are coming with me? I'll take it.
okay, if not, it'll be a cam. Denali So either way, something cool. But Justin and Taylor are coming to the fill the van with cans event which is pretty cool. It's only like a week away now. Thanks brother! I Appreciate everything. Yes definitely! Taylor Thanks again man! appreciate it all. Indiana Muscle Car people. check them out I'll leave a link down below and we will see them at the event.
I Hit the cutout button Stealth mode AC's on I Dropped off my little Chevy Sonic or spark or whatever so I got in on a Tuesday it's Friday Oh man. this is really like my first time just simply driving this thing like I did the burnouts and stuff and we had the Dog House out. As a normal van just cruising this, this is it. and right now it just it feels just like a normal a normal vehicle.
except the power increase is astronomical. Okay, for any of you guys who have ever driven one of these things stock, they are very slow, very laggy, just not fun at all. It still handles like a 3500 van that's for sure. But Justin did say that some of the 3500 guys will remove a leaf in the rear.
It has rear leaf springs and they make a bigger sway bar kit for these. Uh, and I was thinking about getting some nice like Bilstein shocks. so I could improve the handling quite a bit probably. and it'll basically be like a Ferrari or something.
Oh, did you hear that? I Love the bypass valve. I Mean it sounds like a blob valve on a turbo car really, but you can hear it a little bit more often. It's just you hear that. shh.
It works well, you know. I Gotta stop. we'll get these in. Chicago Oh man, the kids are gonna love this.
Yeah, me too. I Got this big assortment pack and the lady in there said these are awesome! Can't wait and some larger bottle rackets. it's June Fourth of July is coming. We can't get this stuff in Chicago It's technically illegal, but look up YouTube videos of Chicago on 4th of July No one cares I Don't know why they don't just make it legal and collect the tax revenue from selling a ton of fireworks, but I'll be going to Indiana to blow these off I'm not gonna do it in Chicago because that's that's illegal I'm cheating on eating healthy right now I Wanted to get a Whopper and they have a spider verse Whopper it I Have no idea what the difference is, but it comes with a red bun so this is the kind of Whopper Spider-Man would eat I Guess my spice sensors are tingling.
Pretty good. Pretty much a Whopper with red bread I had to give up I'm looking for E85 it was getting too low so we're gonna put some 93. I'll probably just fill up halfway because I'm not too far from home now and luckily the closest gas station to my house has E85 after getting fuel I Had one more stop before Chicago and that was in Gary Indiana to pick up some new bench seats from a subscriber named Josh who'd emailed me about having some Mint Condition bench seats from his Express van that he wasn't ever going to use. So not only did I get the missing four-seater Row in the rear, but I replaced the other rear bench seats that were in pretty bad condition and Josh was a super cool dude so of course I took him for a blast in the van before continuing on. I Made it back to my shop with no issues at all. So I treated the van with two legit street cars stickers which are good for about five horsepower each and then I immediately got to work on the nasty carpet after years of hauling construction workers around. It needed a serious cleaning so I soaked it with the pressure washer, sprayed it with some carpet cleaner, and blasted a away years of dirt, coffee, and who knows what else. If you guys have really dirty carpet or floor mats, the pressure washer is the way to go.
And although this was a ton of work, it was super satisfying. I Honestly thought I had to replace this carpet. it was so bad. but the pressure washer did the trick.
I Let the carpet dry in the Sun for two days, reinstalled it and the back of the LSC Express was ready for thousands of pounds of food. The front of the van, on the other hand, just needed two more things. The first was a radiator. Mount So I cut the top of the stock fan shroud off, bolted it in place to hold the radiator in with the factory rubber isolators, cut my hand, and then had a windshield service over to replace my very cracked windshield.
Windshield is all done and I'm filling up with the good stuff. E85 Right by my house I Ran into this guy too. What's up, What's going on? What are you driving today? All right, Someone let me borrow a blue a blue thing over there. Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's nice Sabarish made it into town.
Yeah at four o'clock in the morning? Yeah yeah, it's an early early start or very late start I Don't know which one it is welcome to Chicago This is nice. This is real nice. It's pretty cool isn't it? Oh yeah. I mean for the money? 79 Grand I mean it's a good daily driver? Yeah, you know.
Uh, it's nice and economical once you're not in the Boost you know, so that's good. It gets the best gas mileage out of every single car in my fleet. It gets 22 on the highway. Oh, that's disgusting.
Yeah I don't think those are rookie numbers. dude. you got to get those numbers down. Finally here the fill the van with cans events and I'm driving the van.
Uh, we got it loaded up with a bunch of merch, a lot of water. we have a tent, all sorts of cool stuff. uh. and I Don't know if this guy's coming to the show, but we have a McLaren Mr G cruising down the same road.
Little does he know there's a 700 horsepower van behind him. That's right. Mr G Look at Arnie's beautiful fan in the distance Duramax Diesel It's just so pretty. All right.
So I'm here about an hour before the show starts. Oh nice. Oh look, that's Travis that's Travis Hey, it's Travis What's up man? I Couldn't miss it. Of course not look at that beautiful Beautiful! GXP All right, we got people here. Whoa! Max is here in the Caprice What up? What's up man? What time you got here? I'm here to fill the van with cans. That's right, we already got tons of stuff to put in the van. Really? Yeah, the event doesn't start for an hour and 15 minutes and there's already like stacks of stuff over here. We got work to do.
foreign. it is completely packed. like just wild. We got stuff out here uh Arnie is letting us use his minivan so we have two Vans filled with cans and food and and all sorts of stuff.
Look at this guys! I mean the turnout is out of control and I gotta say I'm glad I got the 3500. It's not sagging at all really so and you need that? you need that to fill up in foreign foreign. Thank you man! I Appreciate you watching. Seriously, we drove out here uh from Ohio wait did you drive with no hood from Ohio Hey what's up man! nice to meet you.
nice to meet you I actually found you after lightning? Oh no way. I wish I could have it here. Are you here with it? Yeah, that's awesome man. Seriously, thank you 700 miles on the lightning that blew up.
Yup, that's sweet man. I think this is gonna be a big one for sure I think we're gonna okay if I don't get killed by the side hey how are you George hey George good to meet you. It's like kind of surreal and I saw your post I really wanted to. that is so cool foreign insane amount of food.
Everybody has been awesome. You guys are in the video. the cars are crazy I haven't even seen all of them. We're gonna start up the van.
Did we fill the van with cans? All right. If you guys have been watching for a while, there have been two F bodies I've given away right here. Mitchell Got the IROC and uh Eli of course got the white LT1 Trans Am donor transplant vehicle to save your formula. Everybody's gonna want an update on the cars.
what's up with the performance? Well the formula I had running for about three weeks and I was about to take on its first drive and I think it has a rod knock. It was a good engine. It was a good engine. It had 5 000 miles.
What did you do? Five thousand miles on the motor On the motor? Yeah. I Know we got to talk. Yeah, figure that out and then you guys are LS swapping right? Yeah, we haven't took the 305 out yet, but we're gonna put the Ls soon. It's just it's sitting on a stand right now and that's what we have to do.
Thank you man! thanks for having me! Yeah yeah. Freddie Did you just teach my wife how to drive a McLaren I have no idea how to do it? She's on her own. Oh thanks yeah yeah. I was uh she's like hey, uh, can I drive this home and I'm like yeah, it's got air conditioning Yeah it does.
Yeah it's very nice I told her it's basically a Camry Yeah, yeah, so it's the same thing if you're throwing a camera I mean she drove the Grand National here with no air conditioning. So this is like why are you doing no big deal. She's a trooper. She's a trooper. That's how I'm giving her the McLaren Now My wife was nice enough to drive in the Grand National with no air conditioning and she's taking this now back home. How's that? AC It feels good. It feels good, right? So Freddy's losing his rental car unfortunately, but it makes it go faster. It's fun.
There you go. Yeah, now you got it. They're easy, right? Travis Yeah, Holy crap. I Can drive that car anytime you want.
All right, this is a learner car. I Give you the 63 Last time did you show her how to do launch control I Haven't even done launch control yet? Oh buddy, Yeah buddy, yeah, come on. we might have to do that before you take off. Yeah, all right, only Patina fans can carry food in them like this.
So I guess this was an issue with Honda as well as GM they're using the same paint I Don't know. but then all of a sudden a family vehicle now. yeah, sorry officer I don't know what you heard. Yeah, that wasn't me, that was the other guy.
That's impossible. It's a band. This was obviously a joke, but all right here we go here we go. Uh, getting more patina? Maybe the paint isn't that bad a quality.
Gee GM triple tri-coat primer. Well I gotta I gotta do this I Feel like this would Captain McLaren too it'll be P1 Right now it would be the P1 Absolutely yeah. you could tell the people tell a few P1 That's right. Thank you guys so much for coming I Appreciate it.
Seriously, this means a lot. Let's get a random Applause for you guys. Yeah, so thank you for coming up and then forever together and these guys are building these two. Vans That's right, you guys were awesome.
We probably have thousands of pounds of food. all the donations you guys have given St Vincent's means a ton and then I'm gonna be delivering all this food to them and it'll get spread out through the Chicagoland area. So seriously appreciate everything from you guys watching the videos, donating everything coming all the way out here. Yeah, it's been awesome.
Freddie Thank you. The flight was delayed okay I tried not to come here at 4am. Yeah yeah, get my mom here. Everybody made a junkyards when I was 15 digging through F bodies and helping me with my first car.
So yeah, so she's been around forever helping me with cars driving me out to Wyoming for school. Couldn't do it without her so that's my mom. Hey everybody we have like nothing important to say except that Travis donated all of these places and they're 20 bucks all the money goes to St Vincent So thank you to Travis it was easier for me to bring tags, when to bring food and everything else. Like thousands of places.
how many license plates do you make every week? Uh, there's too many. So uh, needless to say if you buy them either on your website or here, we're gonna donate all the lube right? Yeah, so uh, 300 of these 100 my honor to be here today and then I hope look I mean look what you did Yeah and then you got Freddy out of Florida That's right. so we got him out of the swamp. Yeah so needless to say if you buy a plate all the money also goes uh and uh once again somebody makes some noise for Alex to help him put this big. If you guys want like a full vanity license plate like what Celebritymachines.com got me out of time, he's got like 5 000 other like I made all of his plays for cocktrick. Yeah and uh, he got lots of tickets on plates that he didn't have to pay. You're welcome. Yes please don't drive the car track Florida license plate thanks Travis I Appreciate your friendship I appreciate you and uh, hopefully you can tell everybody thanks and not get too sunburned.
All right Max is over here working hard with merch? Yeah yeah, how many plates have we sold? You think? uh, plates? Maybe a dozen? and yeah, Max has been Max has been working it over here. Dude, we've had a lot of sales. How many people are buying the same color shirt you have on just because you look so good in it? People are buying the blue shirt. We're almost sold out of the blue shirt.
Get out of here Really. Oh wow. there's no larges I don't think there's any extra larges left like they're gone crazy. Everybody saw you winning.
Yeah, right. So Max drove the Caprice of course and uh, you can continue to drive it because your car's at the shop Isn't it? It is. Yeah, so have fun. It's got no AC as you I'll take it down right.
The fact that your white van the Honda van has the exact same patina paint job as mine I planned that I did they did Honda and Chevy build these Vans at like the same Factory I think they developed the white paints. yeah because they both fall off right? It's It's only fitting that we are now packing this van with food and patina and all that good stuff. Thank you Arnie for having us Cannonball Garage everybody! It's gracious enough to host us and we filled two Vans which filled two Vans and I mean this. It's It's hard to explain this how big this is, but like we were filled up over there all along here.
The whole front. um when we opened. Yeah at 11 11 o'clock it was filled. Yeah all around here.
I mean I Don't know. how many cars do you think were here? roughly I would probably say this cycled in and out of here. probably three or four hundred. Yeah, yeah, it was wild I couldn't even tell you how many how many people I have no idea how to like.
even put this into context. Probably yeah, because people were cycling in. and right? I mean if we had 400 cars, we could have double that in people or something. That would be crazy about some people.
Yeah, it could have been like a thousand people here coming out to support the field Man With Cans event I Can't wait to do this again. obviously. I'll post up uh in the future for you guys to come on out and support some charity. We're gonna pick another one for the next one and yeah, do something good with with fans. the Mills Do it again. Yeah, that's right. there's a band involved I'm in. yeah.
Ernie's Ernie Loves bands, he's got multiple bands and uh, that'll never slow down that so that's called The Milk Jug that's milk. That's milk jug. Okay, all right, this is a legit three cars first. I'm gonna sign a dashboard.
I've signed the exterior of cars but this is a Mercedes diesel wagon and I got the sign. Oh, you signed it too, aren't you look at that Awesome dude. Oh yeah, thanks for letting me sign your car. That's awesome! Thanks All right.
See you guys later All right! So Donnie was representing Fluid Motor Union today and he brought the wagon. Thanks! Sonny No problem, appreciate it and uh, this thing's gonna hit the dyno soon so we'll have even more numbers. Yeah, we're gonna go ahead and uh, fabricate up the custom intakes, wrap up the tune once those are on. we obviously want to finish dialing it in nice.
and uh yeah, the single makes some good power cool. Thanks. Appreciate it all right later man. So I haven't filmed a lot of my cars I've realized.
but of course we got the Grand National. uh, the E55 wagon Whipple wagon. It just sounds so tame right now. and yeah, mixture of the Caprice uh, the McLaren is gone Freddie drove that in.
my wife drove it home. uh and then the van. That's that's what we brought. it's getting closed up.
look at that. just packed and The Stance is exactly the same. The 3500 doesn't even feel this weight in it. 1300 wheel horsepower McLaren they're all.
They're all coming out right now kind of doing a little bit of shuffling look at this same this is insane I Didn't know this because I don't know too much about these cars, but this is all carbon. You can see the carbon weave in the paint. All right. I'm moving the van to the front I Will be driving this back to legitimate quarters.
This is interesting. That's the rear view mirror view. Cannonball is nuts. The car's here.
Look at this. Look at this. GTR this probably gets really good gas mileage Oh I should probably go help look at that one. All right guys.
I'm leaving Cannonball right now I am uh driving the Grand National Freddie is driving the 15 passenger van with all the food and uh, we're heading back to legit Three quarters to drop off uh, the van because I'm not gonna be able to drop off the boots till next week I am beat. Let's get back to the shop. It is the nicest. Day Ever Super hot all day but now it's cooling down.
Cruise Yen! We got the van behind me which I just noticed has one headlight out. gotta fix that. Probably put like 2 000 miles on it since I bought it. It's so good! I'm so tired.
Let's see Express has made it back. So is the Lse. GM Don't scratch my paint. he's gonna sleep in here tonight. Yeah, what'd you think? it's really cool? How was it with all the food? Oh it's fine It actually drives really nice. Bouncy? Yeah, she's a good old girl. That's right. good.
AC rides nice. It's like a brand new. He's great dude. it's the best! AC is actually a lot better now that you have like a bunch of food in the back.
Yeah right. it really is cool. And like I didn't get on it much but like give it a little bit it's like you can feel it. The Boost kicks in right away.
Yeah, it's smooth. I mean the tune is spot on. It's yeah, it's low end torque. it just feels like uh.
it. we're doing like 60 70. It didn't feel like you're doing anything. Yeah yeah, the thing was turning over at like 1800.
RPM That's right. it's fuel economy fuel saver. You built a really good car. Yeah, thanks.
All right I Had to give Freddy a ride. Dude, this thing is amazing. Oh he likes it too. He does like it.
This is. this is really really cool. So it's finally cooled down and we're cruising around a little bit going back to Freddy's Hotel I gotta drop them off. he's got a flight tomorrow.
Yeah. and he'd driven the van, drove the McLaren yeah, I drove the McLaren and uh, this thing. First of all, it sounds like a V8 Uh, it's not. It's a V6 but the turbo flutter.
This is like everything a 17 year old me would have loved. You know, and it's It's roomy in here, it's old school, but you got the Bluetooth and it's nice and plush. It's in really good shape, but what an idiot? Yeah, absolutely right. So I had to give them the GN experience.
This is his first time. my first time driving to Grand National was this Grand National when I bought it. Oh wow yeah so it's a pretty good one. Yeah, it's awesome.
It's awesome! So we're dropping them off at the hotel. Beautiful night in Chicago Awesome Awesome having you here brother. Thank you so much You're coming out Yeah! I'm in! Orlando Yeah I'm coming soon. You guys are gonna see something that I recently bought.
Yeah, that's coming over by him for us to try and fix and then drive? Yeah, I'm gonna try and drive it back to Chicago it should be very interesting I think so that's to say the least before I unload everything I want to see what the van weighs and I have to say it rides much nicer with all this weight back there. This is a 3500 so the suspension is very very strong which means it's very bouncy and kind of yeah, it's it's. not the best driving around, but right now it's beautiful I Just the key is just to keep your van loaded at all times. We got a bridge.
We got a bridge. We got a bridge we gotta cut out. Kind of a waste of a bridge right? there wasn't it. You could definitely feel the weight.
Hang on. Hang on. Let me turn the volume down. You could definitely feel the weight.
It's much slower place your guesses down below 6 500 pounds before where are we gonna be at Truck Stop? Let's go see where I can weigh this thing. I have cats certified scales this guy just got done. Totally normal 16 High 15 wide I should make it here we go. press button, wait for response so I'm standing off the scale I just want band van and food and stuff first. Uh, just first. Wait what's your number? Um I don't think I have a number. It's my first time. All right, let's try one.
Okay I don't know what he's talking I'm seeing the camera. This is a van All right. Thanks man. Okay I think I go in now and pay for it and get a ticket.
uh in. Indiana This was much easier because Justin knew the guy. Okay I got the results. So remember it weighed 6 700 pounds before.
Now that's with all of the seats and about 200 pounds worth of tools. So let's just say seats and tools 400. So we're gonna go with 6 300 pounds before and now we're at 97.60 almost 10 000 pounds. So not counting all this stuff in the back of Arnie's Honda Odyssey we have 3 460 pounds of food and other essential items to donate.
Not bad. Let's see if this thing will still spin the tires from a whole shot, rev it up a little bit, feel kind of fast Though that's not bad. It's almost ten thousand pounds. That's quick.
The brakes aren't the best though. Okay, you can. Definitely the way. when you're hitting the brakes, that's for sure.
This thing is gonna feel like a brand new. Z06 after I Get all this stuff out the back. That's funny. this is what slid up when I hit the brakes there.
This is kind of tempting. actually. it's the next morning we're dropping all the food off at St Vincent's all right. So I'm supposed to pull around back here to the alley.
Ah, it's an Overhead Door could be it. You're ready to go. Bob What's going on? How are you doing? Well, Good. Okay, here we go.
Hopefully nothing falls out. Okay I knew that was gonna happen. We're just filling up these guys right here. Okay, this is definitely going to take a while.
We have these two filled up already. All right, we got some help. We definitely need it. Bob and I Have been at this for about 20 minutes and look what we still got.
Big Daddy don't look dead. The best troublemakers in the world. Wait. Big Daddy and Little Betty Two of my favorites.
Yeah, there you go. Two of my favorite football makers. Yeah, there you go. That's something good.
Campbell's right there. Look at that what we got in here. Oh, that's a good one. Oh, the van is getting much lighter.
We are definitely getting there. You guys are the best! Thank you What? You got that one before? You've been told that before everybody see somebody lying to you but what are you stashing away? What do you got? Oh you got the good stuff. Oh check this out. SpaghettiOs that's what I'm talking about. You like those Yeah I Like them. What is it? That's pasta sauce? Ragu We did it. We did it. The van is empty.
Look at this. This thing is gonna be so fast now. Thank you guys I Appreciate it. Thank you.
Look at this. Thank you. Oh should we do it? Should we do a big Smoky burnout in this thing or what? I'm serious. We got it.
You gotta hear this. That was. this was the whole this was the whole reason we were able to do this was they watched the build on this van. So this looks like your normal kind of beat up contractor van.
but it's got 700 horsepower under the hood. That's a lot and that's the smoke. thank you very much. Yeah and that's coming up.
So I'll be the first NASCAR in the city right now. So this is what 3 500 pounds worth of food and essential items looks like. Look at all of this. it never ends.
All of this is from the van. All of this this is so cool. Thank you everybody. Hey appreciate it.
Thanks so much. Oh you want? All right? All right. All right they want they want to burn out. so we're done here at St Vincent's and uh, they want a burnout and then I'm gonna go back to the shop and give Max a ride in this in the van and it's lightweight form.
Ah, you guys want to see what the van can do? All right. Ah, it's not doing it the stability track. We gotta disconnect the sensor. All right.
it worked. It just doesn't like brake torquing unless you disconnect those abs sensors. but you can just rip it right off the line. That's what's up.
Leave a mark in the street. That's right. I've left my mark with food. Yeah and right here.
Oh and it lit them both up. nice. Thanks again Thank you. See you later.
Thanks for your help guys have a good one I Love this thing. Nice look at that. What a beaut. It's got paint and everything later.
Dude. uh we got Max behind the wheel. He used to drive one of these for his job here at LSC oh my God it was just ripping up. Yeah the traction control kicked in.
That pulls so much harder than I expected it to. Isn't it done? Oh my gosh, that's stupid. Why have you? Why? why did you not do this sooner? I Don't know. It's amazing.
So is that what that was? It was just roasting the tires. Yeah, just roast the tires. and then the traction control kind of kicked in there. Yeah, Yeah.
I Just turned traction control and stabilitrek off. Just punch it right off the line. Traction control? Yeah, it kicks back on. I Gotta rig something up here because I'd have to go undo the wheel speed sensors and all that.
Madness Even if you turn it off, it just kicks on when it senses wheel speed. Again, it stinks. Dude, a van should not sound like that. That is amazing.
That sounds so good. That's so good on the contrary. Max I Believe all Advantage sounds like that. Okay, that's a fair point. No Vans do sound like that and this sounds amazing. Thank you that direction control does not want you to punch it. No, it gets angry. Holy cow our manual.
second. now there we go. Oh my gosh dude. it rips.
That was like a 20 to 60. Yeah dude, it rips. I'm telling you it's I am a big huge fan. but it's It's kind of fast.
It's like so unsuspectingly fast too. Like obviously you know it's a big giant van. you just don't expect it to move. Hey hey, look at that.
That's a 12 passenger cargo. It's not as cool. it's got a little bit of a weight Advantage Yeah, he doesn't want any. That's awesome.
And that, ladies and gentlemen is how we got the thumbnail for this video. Would you? What did you say to me that was the that was my I've never done a break torque before. That's my first break tour get out of town. That was a good burnout.
So I disconnected one of the wheel speed sensors and then I still have to hold the thing for 10 seconds. uh to turn it all off and it works. So I just got to get a switch to make an open in the wheel speed sensor circuit and we can do that all day long and look at this, it's turned back into a Posi and here was attempt number one. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm gonna need.
uh definitely one new tire back here. This one's joined the party as well. It's down to about 50 tread life. These have about 700 miles on them by the way.
just push it or hold it. Just push it once. Oh man, yeah. Max likey.
Whoever Thought a Chevy van could put a smile on the faces of two grown men. This is. it's just I don't know how else to say it. It's just so stupid and awesome at the same time.
that'll do it for shenanigans for this video. But the van, it's done for now. I Do eventually think I'm gonna build a motor and we're gonna boost it to the moon and see if we can hit a thousand crank horsepower. But for now I'm gonna put the seats back in it I gotta replace the rear tires because something happened to those.
Uh and then I'm gonna be taking this on a family trip soon. So very excited for that and I Just want to say a big thank you to Fluid Motor Union for the exhaust Indiana Muscle Car for all the work they put into the van Pro Charger for the amazing kit Cannonball Garage for hosting this event I Think we ended up having a little over a thousand people there. It was insane. So what you guys have seen over the last two 15 passenger van videos is like the last month of my life.
I've been working on projects here and there in between, but everything's been dedicated to the van and to this event. So now this is done. We have some Space Fan stuff going on and all the other projects in between. And literally Today we got a shipment of like 150 boxes full of some new Legitstreetcars.com products.
So we have a ton of new merch on the site and then we got a lot of detailing products as well. This is a gigantic drying towel. These things are amazing. It's about as American as it gets just like this band. So anyway, with that guys I Hope you really enjoyed this video I Hope you enjoyed the van series up until this point.
