I work in video, so I do have a decent camera, lights, and microphone.

This is still pretty slapped-together, but better than the first couple Electro-Metro videos I made.

It's nice to have somebody else to videotape instead of turning the camera on myself.

You know if somebody wants to get their hands on this type of project the bolting of the motor to the transmission is what most likely stops them. But since you gys tackle the hard parts first I could see a lot more people doing this.

Awesome. Completely, Totally, awesome. Maybe I shouldn't put this idea in your head, but these videos are worth paying for. Thanks so much for sharing so freely.

I like how you show your Tim 'the tool man' Taylor moment with the hole saw.

I like how you're eliminating the machine shop expense with the adapter plate construction.

Tom's welding ability is way better than Darin's.
