    Just waiting to see how many people say "that's a '64" without actually watching the video and seeing that he is working on a '63 but the '64 is already done so they are showing it. LOL

      ideally you would go tubular for what you're doing, but you definitely don't need to do what he's doing. Hydros are way more violent than air ride

    Some of these comments are out there. So what if this guy lives in the UK? He's doing something he likes and by the looks of it, is a talented fabricator. Since when does the car that you build and pour your soul and hard earned cash into need of anyones approval. Some people have really forgotten what car culture is about. Beautiful car and amazing work. Keep at it brother and let the haters hate ✌

    Love the content, but that is just the control arms, not wishbone. The wishbone is mounted on the rear of the frame to the rear end

  • @chesspiece81

    That black 63 Imapala is perfect. One in the darkest "mixing black" my painter called it. It was the pure black base used to make black but without any added pigment. He painted several vehicles for me and used "mixing black" when the cars paint scheme called for black. An Impala painted with that, with all stock and refurbished chrome and bright work, bagged instead of hydro, on some all chrome wire wheels with white walls, a 100% stock but restored interior, Vintage Air AC and hidden Retro Sounds stereo, sound deadening and heat insulation throughout the interior, a fuel injected 383-434ci SBC with 425-450hp or so with a mild cam ground for strong low end and midrange, OD automatic transmission, 2.73 or 3.23 rear gears since the tires overall diameter is so small. Just an extremely clean stock looking inside and out Impala on bags so it would lay out but ride really good. A hopped up motor but dressed to look stock. It is certainly one of the cars on my 15' long lost of cars I wish I could own, build, restore, and enjoy. I obviously think this is a gorgeous car man, great work.

    I'm not a fan of these cars, but the craftsmanship this guy does is awesome! Great work! Just wish the narration provided more technical details, like materials, technique used, how many parts to modify... in the video he says "I'm welding", duh! We can see he is welding... "I'm cuting a template"... we can see that... anyway, great series of videos.

      @smellmapitts5065 Рік тому +1

      If you’re just going up and down, then no. Once you start wanting to hop it or three wheel…then you’ll want to reinforce the frame and suspension components

      its a car channel and they decided to show someone that worked on a car they love how dare they? I like that they are doing more stuff then just saying "this $1m car handles really well" and then drifting around corners at high speeds or silly planned pranks
      nothing wrong with them also doing the other stuff still but whats wrong with them doing more of this new stuff? dont think it will hurt the budget much at all
