  • Frame Reinforcement on 1964 Impala Lowrider Hydraulics. This video is intended to help other learn how to reinforce a frame for hydraulic setups. The 64 impala was made with a X frame that can't withstand the force produced by hydraulic suspensions for very long. It is necessary to take the proper steps in reinforcing the stress points on the frame. Same goes for many other lowriders, reinforcement is almost always a must. I have personally seen the aftermath of a hydraulic setup without reinforcement, sagging doors, sagging fenders, most common is the body will start to crack behind the back window where the entire rear frame has bent downward due to weight in the trunk. Hopefully this video can start you on the right path.

    this is the first time in life I have EVER commented on a you tube video! I am compelled to express what i just saw in this video. So, first of all, this is by far the greatest in depth video i have seen on frame reinforcement. Not only that, the lingo that dude is using is straight hittin switches in the streets lowriding. I love the passion and appreciate all who keep the lifestyle alive. The only thing I'm mad about is that yall aint closer to Philly to work on my 64 impala conv. 4 pumps 10 batt. fyi, been lowriding for 25 years. keep up the good videos!

    Thanks for all the comments guys. Just an update, the frame is finished and has been filled and painted. Also, the adjustable upper control arms have been removed and replaced with OEM arms. They have not been extended or reinforced yet but definitely will be. Front end has been put back and as well as the rear end. Had to replace a rear main seal in the engine yesterday and new oil pan gasket which took up a lot of time. Also got the y-bone on Saturday and have installed it. Hopefully have the engine mounted today and maybe even the body back on the frame. Also, the battery and pump racks have been primered, painted and cleared with paint that was matched to the car.

    Nice video! Im on the tail end of frame off restoring my 64 hardtop. I opted for air bags from BC Fab, you cant do as much with bags but hydros are just so heavy. I wrapped the X section of the frame on my car for a little added rigidity. Should work out alright.

    • @LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS
      @LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS  6 років тому

      Gride Brougham I’m not saying that won’t work but once the damage is done, it’s hard to correct. I doubt doing that will fully straighten the frame. But give it a try, once it has straightened as much as you can get it, fully reinforce frame and fix whatever bodywork needed.

      Rapid cooling after welding will cause the metal contract. If it contracts too much too quick, it'll end up cracking the weld.

    • @LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS
      @LOWRIDERHYDRAULICS  6 років тому

      RC Jr depends on where exactly the are reinforcing, thickness of metal, and quality of work. But assuming they are using 1/4 inch since it’s just a partial wrap, and the welds are nice and the work is good, $1700 is a decent price. My suggestion before you do that would be to call Pit Bull Hydraulics and ask how much for a completed frame, they have them already done sometimes, just send them your donor frame and they send you a finished one. Not always but they are the gold standard when it comes to frames. Brent knows his stuff
