MG 32 – Changing the Jeep’s Spark Plugs
Jun 29th, 2009 by mkokes

When we first bought the 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee I bought a set of new spark plugs and plug wires to throw into it. It didn’t necessarily need them, but being a used vehicle you never know when they were done last. Follow along as I change them out…

Martune gets a makeover!
Jun 26th, 2009 by mkokes

I changed up the theme of the site a little bit since I felt that the text was kinda hard to read. I think it looks a little cleaner now.

I still want to come up with a new car graphic for my title logo, looks like Ive got a project for tonight.

Custom Dash Ideas
Jun 26th, 2009 by mkokes

So at the moment I’m at a stand still with the MG B, I still have a bunch of episodes stacked up ready to go, but I’m trying to be responsible and pay off some debt (bleh lame!) before I pull the trigger on having everything soda blasted.

So I’ve got some time to think about things, I alluded to it previously but I’d really like make my own dash. I’m not the biggest fan of the MG’s stock interior and that’s a pretty important piece of the puzzle to me. To me how a cars exterior looks only matters until you’re in it and actually driving it. From that point on the interior is all that matters.

I’d really like to make the dash to look like it’s at home in the MG. I was watching this video on youtube last night and I really like the one at 1:04

Anyone have any thoughts or advice?

2003 Chevy Silverado SS – Frame Swap Pictures
Jun 15th, 2009 by mkokes

About a month ago I mentioned that my brother Kevin was purchasing a salvage title Silverado SS. Well the project is underway and it’ll be a little bit before I get some videos of the work up, but I did snap some pictures off and I threw a little slide show together. In the future I’ll be adding more photos to the same album so feel free to check out the link under the photos category on the side of the page.

I’m a slacker but I promise to make up for it!
Jun 10th, 2009 by mkokes

Ok so it’s now Wednesday and I still haven’t put up a video this week yet. I try to put them up sunday nights, but I just haven’t found the time to do my editing etc. Well next week I’m going to be going on vacation so I’ll probably miss that week too.

So here’s the deal a bunch of you have already noticed that some of my videos are a couple months old. This is because some weeks I’ll do a bunch of episodes, some weeks I don’t do any at all, thus I have a pretty big buffer of videos and I can do things like take vacations, etc. Well at this point I’ve got a lot of videos waiting to go up so I’m going to push out a whole bunch of them before I take off.

Hope you like them!
