John Doc gets a text that any mechanic with an unfinished project might dread: "Hey, what's up with my car?" His answer is a garage update, an apology and a bigger engine than originally planned.
Despite the title "MY CUSTOMER FIRED ME!!", John says the customer hasn't fired him. He acknowledges that racing, moving and starting John Doc Daily pushed the LS-swapped Mustang down his to-do list. To make up for the wait, he plans to replace the stock-bottom-end setup with a newly built 416-cubic-inch stroker using Manley and BTR parts.
The walkaround brings the project back to nuts and bolts: rear suspension, brake conversions, possible wing and parachute mounting, and a budget dual fuel-pump assembly he wants to adapt for high horsepower. Viewers have fuel delivery on their minds too, suggesting a prominent air-fuel-ratio gauge and recalling his earlier custom pump manifold.
That update drew about 8,500 views, making it the most-watched of his two new uploads. "Building our customer 8.8... ends BADLY" arrived next, turning attention to another customer component. The Mustang update also has the most daily momentum among the highlighted uploads, followed by the new-shop tour and "WHATS HAPPENING TO NAHUNTA!!!".
Across the channel, daily viewing is close to its usual level and subscribers were unchanged over the week. Nearby in the motoring group, Duncan Shaw had a much busier viewing week, while James Deane's weekly views were closer to John's. For John, the week's most substantial update is an unfinished Mustang with a more ambitious engine plan.
