**Project "Drip Sting"**
The main project that Chris has decided to undertake is named "Drip Sting". However, he is open to suggestions from his audience for alternative names. This project will involve a series of modifications and repairs to restore the Mustang to its former glory.
**Getting the Car Running**
Chris starts by checking the oil level in the car, which is found to be low. He decides to add oil before attempting to start the engine. Once the oil is topped up, Chris moves on to the next step, which is to get the car running. Unfortunately, the engine does not start yet, and Chris wants to know why.
**Checklist of Things to Do**
Before proceeding with the repairs, Chris creates a checklist of tasks that he needs to complete. The first item on the list is to come up with a project name for the series. He invites his audience to suggest alternative names for the project, which will be used throughout the series.
The next item on the list is to get the car running. However, Chris wants to make sure that everything is in order before attempting to start the engine. Once the car is started, he can proceed with other tasks such as getting the car insured and registered.
**Cleaning the Car**
Once the car is running, Chris decides to clean it properly. He believes that cleaning the car is an important part of preparing it for modifications and repairs.
**Driving Stick**
Chris has only driven automatic cars in the past and wants to learn how to drive a stick shift. He believes that learning to drive a manual transmission will be beneficial for his driving skills and will also allow him to participate in drifting.
**Baselining the Car**
Before making any modifications, Chris wants to get a baseline reading of the car's performance. This includes measuring its weight and calculating its horsepower output.
**Drifting**
Chris is interested in learning how to drift and has identified several drifters who are willing to teach him the art of drifting. He believes that this will be an exciting and challenging part of the project.
**Sponsors**
Chris wants to attract sponsors for his car and is open to suggestions from his audience on how he can do so.
**Bolt Ons**
Once Chris has completed the modifications and repairs, he plans to add bolt ons such as an intake and exhaust system. He believes that these additions will improve the performance of the car.
**Gutting the Interior**
Chris wants to gut the interior of the car and replace it with a new roll cage, racing seats, and a harness. He also wants to install a video camera system in the car.
**Brake Kit**
Chris has been asked by his audience about installing a big brake kit in the car. He believes that this will be an important addition for drifting.
**Supercharger**
Chris is considering adding a supercharger to the engine of the car. This would significantly increase the power output of the engine and make it suitable for drifting.
**Vinyl Wrap**
Chris wants to add some personality to the car by applying a vinyl wrap design. He believes that this will make the car stand out and be more attractive to potential buyers.
**Car Meet**
Finally, Chris has organized a car meet at the AutoZone parking lot in his neighborhood. The event will feature door prizes, product demonstrations, and appearances by local radio stations. Chris is excited to meet his fans and showcase his finished project car.
**Parts Shopping**
Before getting started with the project, Chris decides to head out to a parts store to pick up some essential components for the Mustang. He ends up buying more than he expected, which highlights the importance of shopping alone when working on a project.
**Starting Filming**
With all the parts in hand, Chris is ready to start filming his project and documenting his progress. He invites his audience to comment on his post and provide suggestions for future episodes.

commented great ideas andsuggestions like getting a salvage carsince it is a drift car and it doesn'thave to be perfect that way a salvagecar is way cheaperso I ran with that idea and I startedsearching online for salvage cars andthey were really cheap but since Iwasn't a dealerI couldn't get to the auctions so Iactually found a site that lets you bidon dealer auctions and then they go outand bid on those live auctions for youit's almost like Ebay for salvage carsand there are tons of really cool carson here for example we have thisMaserati spiderit only has 20,000 miles and had flooddamage and with only a few days awaythe current bid was five thousanddollars that would be a cool drift carnot only would that be a cool drift carbut that would be a cool car just to ownand then I started getting reallydistracted and i found a Mercedes-BenzG-Wagen I always liked these SUVs andthis one just had some minor dents andscratches and the current bid was at onethousand dollars and i'm telling you igot distracted start looking at Tesla'shave an electric drift car how coolwould that be I don't think anybody'sdoing that yetthis Tesla has 2,000 miles and it hasrear end damage but the rear end ondrift cars are usually messed up anywayI'm sensing future videos potentiallyand i'll leave a link in the descriptionto this website because you gotare gonna have a blast just looking
