lol, gotta say I cringed when I saw that part. And also when he put the tool down the side of the engine bay, stating he'd better be careful that he doesn't hit anything electrical......Then next thing you hear a zap and the guy flinch LOL. Great video.

Thanks for sharing this, I enjoyed the video.

I think this is 1000 times cooler than a HO replica with **** wheels any day.
