@@MrTheHillfolk it was fun back then, I remember going to shows and talking to people for hours on how to make stuff work. It's crazy but some of the guys I used to hang out with back then were true OG's. I remember getting letters from the feds telling me that my phone had been tapped after they closed their investigation and they came to my work a few times to harass me. They tried to get me fired and it almost worked. But when my boss realized who they were investigating he saw it for what it was and realized it was essentially a fishing expedition and harassment.
Let the Stupid and Dumb go blind if they don't want to use the little bit of brains they have. It irritates the shit out of me when I see how people don't care about safety.
@@rgraptor2542 i don't know why everyone seems to run the grinders without the guards! one slip and your fingers are in the back of that wheel, and the guards funnel the sparks away from you
I see you put the thing behind it so you could brace it so they both so it goes right back into place evenly but still you have to be careful that it's even and you always have to look at everything I've done a lot of fabricating to when you got to make sure everything is even to the way that you want it pictures of how much time and effort do you want to put into it
thanks man im out here in africa and what you are teaching is going a long way we can as well start this indutry with guys like you showing the way it is , peace and love man
You guys are awesome , ive been working body and paint since age 15 i hate how people say not to show people your allways going to have customers shit just for the name. I could do hydro set up if i wanted too. But if i get a car i wanna juice ill bring it to you just to have the name attached lol
knowledge is power. thank you for sharing it. Im a journeyman and Im never scared sharing what i know with my apprentices because the more they know the easier and safer I will be. Back in the days when I was an apprentice the old journeyman were scared to share what they know coz its job security for them. I want the next guy to know as much as I or more. Im learning everyday good or bad, so thank you for sharing your knowledge no one can every take away your skill . peace
Excellent timing bro was just starting to get withdraw from lack of lowrider knowledge, keep them coming bro excellent professional work props from Alaska
Big shout out from Canada! I have a friend that has a LOWRIDER. He asked me because I have done some work for him but I had to fad some work for him on other things some fab work and welding. I have always been a fan of lowriders my dudy wants me to think about getting into LOWRIDER work. The only guy where I am from doesn't have the time.and I have seen his work Love the videos and definitely will watch more
I worked at the GM plant that stamped out thousands and thousands of these arms every shift. They were a corporate control arm stamping. The major difference was the bushing and ball joint combination spec. By each division Chevy, Pontiac, Olds ....
Very clean nice welding i was an union iron worker. Weldor. Fabrocator in seattle for 29 yrs and i grew up in a hot rod neiborhood building street rods and boats and hot trucks you do a nice job im doing a 57chevy sedan delivery with tubeular A arms and a 2018 camaro motor and the 10 speed trans 9 inch ford slamed in the weeds
More than that yet! I have lowered my 81 Camaro 3", and put bigger tires up front (225-45-18) and I need more negative camber. I have way to many Shims in there right now and my camber is still positive! (almost 0°) I need to shorten mines! I massaged the fenders and rolled the lip, but still very close. I'll be cutting out 3/4" to 1". Possibly moving the ball joint 1/4" more to the rear while I'm at it to get a little more positive caster for straight line stability. Gona be some work, but less than having to "extend" Thanks for the video!
Grateful that you make these videos especially for guys like me trying to build my dream lowrider but don't have tons of money to pay shops and buy new parts so thank you
Dude...I must say I'm super impressed by the way you wire wheel grind and cut with no eye protection... Way to go bro. You are probably one of those guys who has couple a spare eyes
Much respect to u brotha. Ive been wanting to build a lowrider when i was young and saw my uncles, kita lealao, lowrider for the very first time. Keep up the great work.
just started today to stretch mine 5/8 inch on my 70 Impala. I'm only doing it to get a proper alignment later. first time I've done the newschool method. I certainly see what I can and shouldn't do by actually doing it. when I do the other one, it will be better. really the only thing I did different was I welded an angle iron on instead of flat bar. they are fidgety getting them tacked as I don't have a metal table to work on
Come on Vic! Get to work! The stock A arm modification tricks are really cool for you to show. People who come up or learn these tricks from old timers don't usually share them. I appreciate it. I'm researching tig stainless tubular A arms for a custom look and ride height.
Wow great video.....and THANK YOU for wanting to teach. I understand you guys need to make money.....but just because you teach us watching how to do this dosen't mean we still won't go out and get someone else to do the work. But when we have time to try and do things like this ourselves it makes you feel a little better about your project knowing you did the work yourself. So I salute you from teaching us.....Thank you
Watched your video three times, then tried extending an old upper I had. Man, I butchered it...bad. About to try it again on the other one (now that I know what I did wrong). Thanks so much for sharing man, your ability to make this look so easy proves you're very skilled.
great vid. one thing you might want to mention for 'beginners' is the triangular shape to A arms and keeping the correct geometry as you did with the spindle still in place, if you extend a square everything stays in parallel, if you extend or reduce a triangle (like in a roof chop) some stuff needs to be bent to match the new angle. its knowing what to bend and what to keep 'square' that might catch out some
awsome stuff I've always been a fan of lowriders and now i can learn and appreciate the work that goes into them. thanks for the schooling carnal keep up the good work you got a new subscriber for sure.
I am in to Toyota 4x4 1986- 88 pick-ups xcab, and the tabs for the shocks on lower A arms always crack or break, this video might give me insight how to fix or reenforce the tabs, mind you are using Downey 2 inch lift dual shocks both sides, great for getting air!! Thanks for the video!!!!
Thank you. I'll apply some of what I saw here in a bunch of different things. You are really coming from a good place in sharing your knowledge. We're all moving toward a world where scarcity and conflict are passe` and life becomes an art form, and you are a great example of being the change you want to see.
Get to work Vic stop messing up Alex's videos lol j/k Thank you guys for sharing how to videos for us that want to learn more. Some shops keep everything such a secret like WE don't know how it's done. Now WE understand more why certain things cost so much. The work that goes into these cars with such precision and perfection. These videos are very helpful for anyone who wants to learn. Thanks again brother Keep up the great work.
Awesome work. I remember in the 70’s we had a v8 Vega that lost steering control at high speeds. We cut the upper ball joint off and moved it rearward to gain more caster and also installed eccentric control arm bushings. Problem fixed. Good video sir 👍
Thanks bro I'm trying to learn as much as I can I have a buick regal 86 and here in utah they charging between 5k to 8k to put the hydraulics on a lay and play style
You did a fine job your rite knowledge is key your company need not be worried about people taking your trade away it is about the geometry is very important.People just weld and think it is aldone no it takes skill to do this i to do alot of welding at shop it takes practice.
Well obviously if some one wants a custom arm we would make it but if most people have budgets we have to stay in so there different options for different people if you watch the video I mention that
Thanks for making these instructional videos bro. You should do one on the difference between a hopper setup and a basic lay and play setup with examples
wouldnt you want to remove 3/4 inch from bottom a arm to keep stock fender gap wheel to fender ? my 81 c 10 slighty wider frt than back . great job looks great
Props to you cats for posting stuff like this, back in the day.. well the late 90s anyway, it was a big secret and we had to figure it out ourselves on how to make your ride stronger..god I miss my S-10 with 10 switches!! Had a pro hopper setup with mazzerachi pump heads wich is no longer around.
My concern when cutting and welding, want the heat mess up the bushings? Also time is money, if you have a high volume on this type of work, I would make me some sort of a jig to hold work item in place to align and speed work up.. Great Vid and thinks for sharing
perfect timing as I was trying figure out how to go about extending my arms for a basic lay and play setup quick question what was the thickness of the plate you used for reinforcing the inside of the control arm?
I was wondering if this was feasible ! I got a monza i'm wanting to put s10 spindles on but it causes camber issues and looks funny. Most move the lower BJ inboard. This seems like a better solution.
I'm not into lowriders, but I'm a new subscriber all because I LOVE high quality fab/mod work. And this is easily some of the best there is! Keep up the good work! Oh, yeah. And you're a southpaw, making you naturally creative and artistic (NOT autistic)🤪.
There's always been some amazingly talented guys in the lowrider scene. Everything from fabrication, interior upholstery and paint. It's been a long time but I also met some of the nicest people in the car world at lowrider shows and have been able to trade work for paint work.
I was a little skeptical at first but that looks real nice!!!! I like your finish welds.... Looks good Brother!!! Where you cut that top lip off could possibly be cut longer and bent back over to match,but I am just being a keyboard critic...lol... I am sure it is pleanty strong.... Great Job!!!! Greetings from the East Coast Florida!!!✌
Awesome bro, that a good attitude you have and a good lesson for anyone too learn. Thanks very much and I can tell you that I'll watch everything you put out. Awesome bro
Yep some great work, does anyone remember the 82 Grand Prix called the Selena car, all painted with Selena pictures on the hood and trunk lid's, I did the doors, front clip tilt, the split trunk lid, suicide L & R doors, added the corvette rear-ended, boxed the lower A-arms, re-shaped the firewall, removed the A/C box, and brake booster as well, and you need to remember that the car was fully painted while I was welding on the car, now that was a trick, I didn't paint the car, I just did the fab welding, and no I didn't burn up the paint job, I just removed about 1/2" of paint for the welded area, and if you remembered marquee sign? My name on the sign is SA Customs of Houston, if you remember just click the thumbs up, and again you do some great welding work
Much love for your enlightenment, love lowriders hope soon to build my s10 blazer, you guys give helpful details and i feel more confident on were the weak areas are to reinforce, god bless 💯
Couldnt u tig it instead of mig if penetration is a concern and it would almost Eliminate your pile up and grinding/blending? 3/4 wide 20 ft sticks of flat stock is 10-15 $ looks like it would save alot of time over f in around with the plasma table cuttin a little piece out! Time is money!! Other than that it looks great and i liked the way u guys did it

My friend has a glass eye from using a grinder with a wire wheel and no safety glasses. You only get one pair of eyes.
Not to mention the amount of times I've had one of those cutting wheels explode on me aswell, I prefer safety glasses and a face shield.

Like it from Canada. Subbed based on this video. I like the clean language I can watch with my 10 year old son. Will be watching more of your videos.

Lowridders are not the only ones to extend or reinforce a-arms and make them look “stock”. It’s nice to see his design and strength.
Very excellent welding man! Your mig welds look better than my tig welds. Shows how much more time spent cleaning and preparing is worth it.
I had a small fragment of cutoff wheel embedded in my eye. It was fun.
I do a bit of welding myself. Good to see someone showing a proper set up and weld! Nice job!

GREETINGS, HOW'D IT GO?
Damn bro I been waiting for this video for the longest.thank you Alex
Modified Harbor Freight blast cabinet means sealing the leaks and adding real lighting. Then it works great
I used this video to do a 1/2 extension on my s10 arms.. it worked out great and my tires are straight when it's locked up!
That is some quality work Bro, all those extra steps you take to reinforce that arm are crucial. Good work and much success.
Much appreciated
Appreciate bro watched video and did my AArms came out almost cant say exactly as close cuz you taught me thanks
That's what we love to hear!!! Good job man!!

People who can do this kind of fab will. What you are really doing is showing your customers the care you put into the parts you make for them.

I normally just make a jig from the stock arm , and fabricate a new arm
I was thinking the same..
Stronger, easier, probably faster.
Though.. I like the work he did. Looks good.
Well obviously if some one wants a custom arm we would make it but if most people have budgets we have to stay in so there different options for different people if you watch the video I mention that
@@Hoppos_alex
What's the time difference? Modifying vs full new?
@@Hoppos_alex Wear eye protection when you do these videos. Please.
@@turboflush few days vs 3 hrs plus design time and cost wise
What gauge steel did you use for your 3/4 extension?
Are you using the same wire wheel to clean the grease and dirt to clean the metal before the welds
Ya it's just like engraving it's a art form not a reproduction like so many people have on there cars now at days. Good job homie
You guys are dope bro. Teaching not many do it. Props.
Thanks for making these instructional videos bro. You should do one on the difference between a hopper setup and a basic lay and play setup with examples

The sexy sound of the welds is like cooking bacon you know when the sound is dead on and almost done
Thanks for showing these I learn alot from your videos about how I like to do stuff so it's clean when there done not hacked up thanks for the info
Nice work Alex. How come you didn't remove those factory ball joints and bushings.
My concern when cutting and welding, want the heat mess up the bushings? Also time is money, if you have a high volume on this type of work, I would make me some sort of a jig to hold work item in place to align and speed work up.. Great Vid and thinks for sharing
perfect timing as I was trying figure out how to go about extending my arms for a basic lay and play setup quick question what was the thickness of the plate you used for reinforcing the inside of the control arm?
3/16s
I usually split mine between the bump stop and the ball joint but I'll have to give that a shot. Looks good bro 👍👍
A pair of knipex pliers wrench would help a lot with bending that tab up
Thanx for the vids,and positive attitude about our lowrider community bro,
Dude your welds are badass
Good info right here thanks , does the procedure work on 90 s Cadillac a-arms
That’s a good video, I am looking to extend lower a arms. Thanks for the tips!
Please dude wear eye protection. I've seen people get wires from wire wheels stuck in their eyes and skin.
and put the guards back on the grinders
His eyes his problem.
Didn't see THAT coming...

Beautiful work amigo. Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge bro!

Badass clean work. Homie I learn something today even tho I won't use it , but love to knw how it's done. Ty.
Dont forget eye protection using them grinder wire brushes..them lil wires fly quick and can take out your eye quick
I was wondering if this was feasible ! I got a monza i'm wanting to put s10 spindles on but it causes camber issues and looks funny. Most move the lower BJ inboard. This seems like a better solution.
The firecracker part 🤣🤣

Greetings from the East Coast Florida!!!✌
Good work I've seen ur videos you explain detail and you do good work.keep it up
First time viewer, is the extended control arm to improve steering geometry? Thanks.
It's to make them look stupid
For rims more than likely
It is to accomodate decent geometry throught its entire swing.
It's actually to accommodate the cyl cylinder. That's the reason it had to be stretched and part of the top took out.
Awesome bro, that a good attitude you have and a good lesson for anyone too learn. Thanks very much and I can tell you that I'll watch everything you put out. Awesome bro

28:30 Excellent welds nice job
What's the difference between upper control A-Arms and factory control arm? And where can i get it?
Couldnt u tig it instead of mig if penetration is a concern and it would almost Eliminate your pile up and grinding/blending? 3/4 wide 20 ft sticks of flat stock is 10-15 $ looks like it would save alot of time over f in around with the plasma table cuttin a little piece out! Time is money!! Other than that it looks great and i liked the way u guys did it
Great welds! Great info! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 👍
What purpose does it serve to extend the A-arm? Trying to learn about Hydros'
Can you explain why extend the arms? And how to tell if I need a 1" or a 1.5" or 2" or 3" or what ever... please
Your finish welds look great
Excellent work and a great finished product. Do you guys ever modify upper or lower control arms for the stock car gang?
I knew I like Alex for a reason, a fellow Lefty 💪🏽
Awesome video brother really full of information good tips and overall quality💯
Never in my 44 yrs of fabricating have come across a counter clockwise grinder!
What's the purpose of extending upper control arms and are they for hydros or airbags
That is some really clean work you guys do. Nice job. I do metal work and if i was into low riders i definitely would do it like you guys .
Good Work Thats way better than how they used to do it back in yhe day with a 1" plate welded by the ball joint
What's your opinion on tubular A arms
Tubular look like bolt on and these look stock, or even better if chrome.
Mo knowledge transfer. Thanks Alex!
