Wat!?Nick is amazing. Man has a wealth of knowledge and passion for mopars that’s generational
Reminds me of several folks on here! Cranky especially!
Even after working at the shop all day, then filming for 90 minutes, Nick took the time to show me around. He made me feel welcome
Gee, pretty sure I knew more about re-building my first 727 than he demonstrated there. Left out the tough parts. Didn't do his own front drum. Didn't do the front or rear clutch or front pump installation. I'd never pay him to do mine. I've built many dozen and I'm not a professional. My 727's were for a bunch higher power that what he had.
Basically, interesting as a starting point. Alot more to it.
You are correct. Learn from where you can.I always looked at things as you can learn from just about everyone. But I remember as being a mechanic on my first job being second guessed on just about everything even my choice of tools I bought.

I just wish more people were around that would share their knowledge.I love the internet these days but it's not like having someone that knows this stuff and is helping in person.
Was helping another member with his car and man, had to dig way back in my memory bank! Been so long since doing a lot of this stuff that it's getting kinda fuzzy and the older ya get, the faster it seems to go away.I just wish more people were around that would share their knowledge.
I guess you have to keep in mind that Nick's garage does provide general information for anyone, so not only experienced mechanics who done the job themselves but also the random guy interested in old cars and its engineering.
You can't explain every little detail in a single short video and you can't judge someones knowledge based on that. (there are guys who done a detailed step-by-step video of transmission rebuild and what not)
He is just showing some basics of the technical point of view and mainly what his job is all about and what is going on in his shop.
The guy has his hands full with dozens of customers that come from across the whole continent and even far beyond that who want their car or engine build by him and him only, i believe that does prove he is doing something really good.
A good cook would never share his recipe, would he?
That's how business works, don't deny it.
Guess I agree. I shouldn't be too critical since I couldn't do what he does.
