Stay Tuned Is Youtube's Most Eclectic Hot Rodder By Far

Tony Angelo has been building accelerated and somewhat sketchy cars for longer than galore of you reference this person been alive. If you've been pursuing nan car scene, peculiarly connected nan eastbound coast, you astir apt cognize Angelo, if not personally, past by reputation. He's 1 of those guys who helped bring drifting to nan U.S. from Japan, and turn its fame here. Most group were astir apt introduced to him erstwhile he took connected nan domiciled of big connected Hot Rod Garage backmost erstwhile Motor Trend went all-in connected video. Since moving backmost east, Angelo cranked up his ain YouTube transmission and mostly does nan aforesaid ridiculous worldly he ever has, but now he doesn't request approvals from invisible higher-ups, truthful he tin spell moreover wilder pinch it. 

This is 1 of those YouTube shows that makes for awesome intermezo week successful and week out, building a twelve aliases much ridiculously sketchy task cars. Tony and his squad person a batch of fun, and that's evident from nan first minute. They'll break retired immoderate pizza, get wrenching, and soon capable it feels for illustration you're location hanging retired correct alongside them arsenic they build a 500 horsepower turbocharged minivan aliases a V12 Mustang. More than anything, I think it's important to person a fewer dirtbag basking rodders who really get aft it successful your to-be-watched queue. It helps support you grounded. 

That's why we're taking it upon ourselves to item immoderate of our favourite underrated builders successful a caller bid we're calling Wrenchers You Should Know. Not only do immoderate of these group merit measurement much views than they're getting, but they're typically nan Do It Yourselfer type, alternatively than nan large corporate-sponsored four-figure-horsepower slop that's dominating your feeds. In each installment we'll present you to a cool caller builder, talk astir immoderate of their work, and springiness you a fewer reasons why you should beryllium watching their progress. Here we go, Stay Tuned!

Tony and his unit of section Pennsylvania basking rodders don't do thing by half measures, and astir of their task cars sound for illustration nan benignant of point you would dream up successful a chair racing convention pinch a fewer of your bully buddies aft a fewer mini beers. Tony doesn't conscionable fto weird things hap successful his head, he breaks retired nan welder and makes them hap successful existent life, and I can't thief but applaud his stick-to-itiveness arsenic I watch these ridiculous ideas travel to fruition. 

One awesome illustration of that is this 1989 Ford Mustang. The five-liter Mustang is among nan astir communal pathways for car enthusiasts to build a full batch of speed. Everybody knows nan tricks to make powerfulness pinch a 5-liter, and moreover much cognize really to push a fox assemblage faster pinch an LS switch and immoderate turbos. That's thing for Tony, arsenic he has spent nan past mates of years putting an Aston Martin DB7 V12, which is "basically" a brace of Ford Duratec V6s mated together, into a Mustang. 

Would this motor person been much nosy to thrust successful nan Aston Martin chassis it came from? Yeah, probably. Would nan Mustang spell faster pinch a well-built 302 and immoderate nitrous aliases something? Definitely. But that's not nan point. If you're asking those kinds of questions, you conscionable don't person nan benignant of deranged encephalon that Tony does, and I must person it too, because I deliberation this is 1 of nan coolest ideas anyone could perchance have. 

Did he walk years piecing nan car together and getting it moving only for it to rustle up connected nan dyno? Yeah, he judge did. And contempt being earnestly discouraged by nan full thing, they're optimistic nan motor tin beryllium put backmost together, possibly pinch immoderate much modifications, and powerfulness nan Mustang again. 

Stay Tuned

Not bully aliases weird capable for you? How astir taking a cherry $800 Dodge Caravan and swapping a built SRT-4 turbo motor nether nan hood? Who doesn't emotion beforehand instrumentality thrust burnouts pinch your full family on for nan ride? This task wholly rules, and it's evident nan squad put a ton of effort into getting it up to speed. Obviously this is simply a overmuch easier task to put together than a V12 Mustang, arsenic nan SRT-4 motor should theoretically bolt successful spot of nan original Dodge engine, arsenic nan 2.4-liter turbo A855 motor has its roots successful nan aged Chrysler 2.2-liter "Trenton" engine. 

Despite really "easy" this switch is to make, it still required a full boatload of labour and effort. This isn't nan benignant of point you tin conscionable do successful an afternoon, of course. Sourcing a wrecked SRT-4 is conscionable nan beginning. After sourcing nan components and upgrading nan motor to make much than double what it did from nan factory, they still needed to ligament and plumb everything, which is 1 of nan astir tedious and annoying parts of immoderate motor swap. 

In nan aged Neon platform, nan SRT-4 made an impressive-for-the-time 230 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque. Even that was capable to rip nan steering instrumentality retired of your hands nether difficult acceleration. Crank up nan boost and put it successful an older noodely van chassis, and it's going to beryllium a fistful and a half. Moreover, pinch twenty-something pounds of boost connected tap, occurrence spitting retired of nan exhaust, and capable powerfulness to rip nan tires disconnected successful 4th gear, this is possibly nan coolest minivan connected nan street. I might really beryllium successful emotion pinch this van. 

If you get done each of nan videos connected Stay Tuned, you tin spell backmost and cheque retired Tony's videos co-hosting pinch Lucky Costa complete connected nan Motor Trend YouTube channel, aliases possibly they person a Hot Rod Garage transmission connected nan Heebee app aliases something. Look around, you'll find it. I still deliberation my favourite task connected that show was the twin-engine Chevy Impala SS "Twinpala" with 2 front-driver LS4 engines and all-wheel drive. It's conscionable truthful stupid, and I emotion it truthful much. 

After getting it moving and beating nan crap retired of it, they later upgraded some engines to astir 500 horsepower pinch turbochargers and erstwhile it was moving correct it wholly scooted. With 16 cylinders, all-wheel drive, and tons of boost, it's fundamentally a mediocre man's Bugatti Veyron, right? Like I said, these guys are down and soiled velocity demons, and each stupid point they do is successful nan sanction of basking nasty go-fast. When I turn up, I want to beryllium for illustration them, and you should, too.

If you person suggestions for immoderate lesser known builders connected societal media, please consciousness free to driblet them successful nan comments conception arsenic well. I'm ever connected nan lookout for folks retired location doing cool stuff. It doesn't person to beryllium conscionable cars, either. While I'm good apprised of nan car and motorcycles building scenes, I'd emotion to get heavy into nan nitty gritty of immoderate much niche topics. Do you travel immoderate cool folks building snowmobiles, pitchy skis, aliases DIY combatant jets aliases something? I want to cognize astir it.

And yes, you're invited to do immoderate aforesaid promotion successful nan comments arsenic well. Let everyone cognize wherever they tin travel your build and what you're up to. If it's unsocial aliases good, we'll characteristic it connected nan blogs.
