the sound of your cars almost, not quite but almost, makes me want to give up being a beach bum in SE Asia head back to Scotland get my house back and re-equip my garage with all the tools a previous scumbag tenant stole, but I guess I just keep watching your videos and head to the beach for a beer....and let you do the hard work... thanks for the videos and all the best for 2018
Lucky's garage makes beautiful automobiles!.... thank you for sharing your passion....that's art sir! Love from Toronto! Please consider developing your own show! P.S.The chev sounds ferocious!
You do good work over there...l'm noticing the clutch action (66) is better now & if l ever win the lottery l'm coming after that car or want one built the same way...good video - keep em' coming
Jehugarcia has a VW 21 window bus that is electric and will blow the doors off many vehicles out there. He loves to do just that, get at a light and pull away quicker than the rest.
Enjoyed the videos on the 52 Deluxe. I have a 53 Chrysler and would like to do a v8 conversion. What motor mounts did you use and do you think I could get them for the Chrysler. Thanks for your time, Sherm
So that was the only mods in the engine bay needed for a SBC to fit? Can I ask what trans/box and diff you ran? And was there big mods needed to floor?
I enjoy this type of stuff more than anything else on here. Always fun watching a pro work on something, especially if they're into the work. Hey Lucky, is it just me or do you sit abnormally high in the ChevHell?
does not have to cut anything .thats butchery a.v8 fits perfect to original 6 or straight 8 motor mount holes and trans mount.. i have a 52 pontiac fleetleader deluxe ..just put in a sbc and turbo 350 trans..in once and running no in/out crap
Lucky, I very much appreciate the no BS vidoes you post. Just getting work done on cool cars.
Lucky's chevelle is always under construction, but operational. Loving the chevhell!
leakage182 chevhelle sounded incredible didn't it
Must be winter. Lucky's got long pants on ! You are a true craftsman my friend. Stay safe!
Very cool stuff here. Thanks for all your videos Lucky. I wish they were longer I learn a lot from your videos.
Thanks for the ride! Love cruising the southern California streets.
I wish there was a guy around my town like you, be cool to just go hang out and watch!

That trim black looks almost perfect for what id think of as an OEM engine bay look.
Awesome lucky! Love the longer video!!
NICELY DONE.... HAPPY NEW YEARS MAN!!

Awesome video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wish I lived in cali. We are dealing with a couple inches of snow
Are they still dealing with fires ? ;) :P
freshly painted long block in a freshly painted compartment always looks so bitchin'
I don't know if that is the trans or the blower or both whining, but it sounds absolutely bad ass! Love me some ChevHell.
nice to see classic chevy power instead of LeS everything

Man that music really got me going
Great slug bug video!
Lucky- The Hot Rod wise man..
Great job showing us how to do stuff, thanks. Can you tell us what kind of mpg your hot rod gets, thanks again.
Good work man
Me and my son are doin just the same, we 305'd a 53 delux. What rear axel and drive shaft did you use? I have a 1980 caprice motor and trans
Looking good!
So that was the only mods in the engine bay needed for a SBC to fit?
Can I ask what trans/box and diff you ran? And was there big mods needed to floor?
After looking at engine in engine compartment it is impossible to tell which is the gem and which is the pig's as#. They are both awesome.
Ok, you've worked on a car or two. What's your take on painting aluminum radiators black to help them cool better?
Had to turn down the music. Two vintage Microbuses! Lucky, do you ever wear hearing protection? Love these videos. No BS, just good work.
I'm with you. Two VeeDub buses in one short trip? Must still be 1980 in California.
I enjoy this type of stuff more than anything else on here. Always fun watching a pro work on something, especially if they're into the work.
Hey Lucky, is it just me or do you sit abnormally high in the ChevHell?
Looks great! What rear end did you use? Keep up the good work!
Lucky. The real deal.
Nice!
I'm really surprised you haven't masked over the windscreens to keep the metal grindings from damaging things ....
wow a vw parade!!
Happy New Year. Better than Russian Dash cam videos. Ha Ha ☺
If you close your eyes while lucky is driving around in that car you can pretend that you are flying with George Jetson.
JMiz Totally thinking the same thing!!
Hey lucky i am a big fan of yours.What kinda steer wheel is that in your 66 chevlle?
Did you mount the motor mount brackets in the same location as the original location?
You need to look at the power steering pump......it's making an awful whine! Lol J/k!
Hi Lucky. What kind of primer did you use ? Rattle can ? Can you list out what products
Thanks!
Best part....ride along.
nice parts go-getter machine
Nuisance mask....Lucky!!!!
What motor mounts did u use? Thanks
That center mounted pitman arm blows. BTW Your T56 sounds no bueno. Is it a Rockland?
Do you have a parts list? Mounts etc?
Do you know Richard Okerman?
Do u have a part number on motor mounts and also brake booster kit??
Haha no speed odometer. Yet? Or on screen but blocked with glare?
Nice one, Lucky- engine compartment looks totally factory finished now. Where can I get one of your shirts?
Thunda65 luckys-stuff.myshopify.com/
Thanks, man, but all sold out in my size. Are you planning to get more done?
My man, I like the video, but you can't just have the same stock music on loop the whole time
Kueeel.
Is your diff whining?
What motor is going into the 52 ? What is it out of ?
Do you know Richard Okerman
does not have to cut anything .thats butchery a.v8 fits perfect to original 6 or straight 8 motor mount holes and trans mount.. i have a 52 pontiac fleetleader deluxe ..just put in a sbc and turbo 350 trans..in once and running no in/out crap
My favorite song. :-\
The rear diff sounds nasty
I don't think that was the rear diff I think that was the blower
So do you edit your own videos or are you lucky enough to have help? I hate editing
my wife says you need more music.
The music was okay the first couple of times, but hearing the same song 10 times is rough.
never noticed the 2nd glovebox
Your speedo is just like mine... doesn’t work! I intend to remedy this! #1stgenT56
Man anyone ever tell ya crack lols bro? Wtf!
