In early May 2015 I drove down to Frankfort KY to look at a 1982 Mustang in a Walmart parking lot. I ended up taking her home. Here's the first look at the donor car that will contribute many of the parts for my Ford Fairmont project. A lot of the essential components are there, but there is much work to be done as you'll see in the video. Considering what I paid and what I got, I'm not disappointed. I believe I'll be able to get most of the parts I need for the project.
The engine is a 302 bored out to 306. It has Ford racing heads as well as other upgraded internals. I'll likely dig in to check those out at some point. The car is a 5 speed with 3:08 gears and a welded differential. The suspension is defiantly shot, but I may be able to recondition it and use it. I'll just have to figure out how I can swap over the driveshaft and exhaust. For now I'm driving the car to sort out the issues. When the day comes, I'll drop out all the parts I'm using and get to work installing them in the fairmont. I'm very much looking forward to that day.
BTW, I LOVE the noise it makes.

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
