    Don’t know what it is about your driving segments, but they’re like a fireplace…..just enjoyable to watch. Two things I noticed on this video…
    1) That Tesla wanted some.
    2) That wagon got some.

    Hi Lucky. I’ve watched a handful of your videos and I love the content. You’re a knowledgeable guy with a good mix of wrenching and satire.
    If I have one comment it’s that you have a lot of ‘dead air’ in your videos. I find myself fast forwarding through them to see the parts installed and hear the next bit of useful talking.
    Thanks for what you do.

    This is what I need to do with our 67 Chevelle. I used 1250lbs front 350lb rear conventional springs from Speedway Motors
    The problem was I had to use 5 1/2 diameter front springs to achieve the rate I wanted but they rub inside the pocket and it’s hard to find shocks that control that stiff of a spring.
    This is definitely the way to go! Thank you!

    When you were at Aldan American I see they have shock parts and assemble them but do they have equipment to machine parts in house?
    Also, while you were at it the undercarriage should of been cleaned and painted with bedliner coating.... I hate putting new parts with everything else looking nasty.
