When husband and wife are working on a restoration project patience is the key to a happy restoration project for both.
Brake cleaner kills spiders fast! We have many black widows here in so Cal. I go out at night/very early morning when they're out. That's when I get em! Be safe!
Hot Rods are never finished. lol
I like the idea of the segments for projects. It keeps it stirred up, and it's like a TV series.
Like seeing conversion kits from drum to break looking forward to seeing the one on the rear
That is an awesome front end the two of you installed. Love watching the two of you work together as you just have fun and keep it light hearted.
congratulations on 300.000 subs I bet you never thought that would be possible on your first post standing inside the engine bay of roxy
@@robineniffer5578 It’s pretty wild!!!! Thank you!!
Y’all need some portable roll around carts so that you don’t have to be on the floor working lol. Love you guys! Keep up the hard work. 😊
I'm so happy to see you back and working on the 57 again! You two have a relationship like no other!
Nice work team Spark! Looking forward to more.
Glad to see you working on the '57 again. Great job on the front end work. Finley must be proud!😁
Dicky would be proud that his car is coming back to life
@@jeffstephens7958 we sure hope so!!
Awesome, you guys answered the call from the viewers ❤
It was great being able meet you both in Iola. I don’t think I’d survive in Texas. The north gets hot enough for me. Keep up the hard work and great content.
FINALLY I can die happy, we got some flying sparks at FLYING sparks garage! woohoo! go go gadget plasma cutter!
Love the disc brakes! Nice seeing you guys working together! Can’t wait to see it complete! You guys are full of AWESOMENESS!!
And I can't forget about the "Kid"!!!!!!!!!! :) She is sweet and loving all you 2 are doing to get her lil red truck there for her ;)
The way the two of you work together is so cool! The only thing missing here is T K
@@JamesWaldron-uc6jh TK will be back!!
Back In The Saddle With A Great Project !! 👍
Everything about this reminded me of your earlier episodes. I can't put my finger on it, but it was great to watch and learn with y'all.
You got a good partner, she likes working with you on projects like this, y’all have fun doing it. Cool video.
I'm glad to see you guy's back and working on the 57 again
I am really looking forward to this build. That is a very awesome welding rig that will serve you well for a long time.
Good call from Aaron the arachnologist. Australian Redback spider: Latrodectus hasselti and the southern black widow : Latrodectus mactans. Love your projects !!
It was worth the wait!!! Coming along GR8 guys!!! Love it! ~Chris
I retired a year ago working second shift for over 30 years. what I enjoy doing with all my time is going to vintage car shows that the Chicagoland area has to offer. Back after nine minutes just got done researching the black widow spider.....big city guy ....I wouldn't want to be six feet closer to them
Great to see you two again! I always enjoy riding along with you on your projects.
Glad yall are taking your time on 57. I'm hoping start on my 2 door as soon as my health gets better and temperatures cool off. I put 2 inch drop spindles and 1 inch drop springs. I plan on upgrading to qa1s later on.
Glad to see y'all had a fun and safe trip with the family!!!
Glad y’all back hope y’all had fun
Yep, and we are used to the smell. I do not like to use poisons if possible and the red can CRC is the weapon of choice.
Great news you guys were the first channel I ever watched on UA-cam, I I love it
You 2 are the sweetest. Keep going you two ;) ❤ i love watching you adventures.
Awesome video! Glad to see ya back after a small, much-needed break.
I flew up to Detroit for Woodward Dream Cruise, It was 104 when I got on the plane down here,,, it was 84 when I landed up there... I thought "Free Air Conditioning!!!" Everyone up there was saying "It's 84,,, We're Dying Out Here!"
imagine 59
Watching you guys and Dennis Collins inspired me a little. I got a '65 ChevyII project car a few weeks ago. I don't make many UA-cam videos with me in them, but I think I may document the progress on this build. Keep the videos coming!"
Can’t wait to see this car sitting on the wheels ! Thanks for another Guys !
I obviously missed a few uploads. Last I know you were stripping paint. I'm gonna have to find the ones I missed now... Glad to see you are back.
Yeah... I've been watching in order from the original "find" video... but the whole drive train has been done somewhere along the way that was missed it seems. I do find it difficult to follow as the title names have no consistency (hint-hint, like always 57 Rebuild FSG 11 or something). But you can watch ALL of the Playlist on UA-cam for the 57 Project so that should be all of them in order (but the drivetrain is missing still even in that thread).
Dang, that Lincoln rig doh!!! Incredible!
@@AaronHardinPhoto we’re obsessed 🥹
@@flyingsparksgarage can't wait to see some TIG action!
Alsome
My husband and I watched the video it was totally awesome I am so happy you both are back
@@juneladden5151 we sure appreciate y’all watching ❤️
I missed this episode when it came out because I lost my phone like a week ago! I found it today in my toolbox.🤬 I swear I looked in there like 25 times and didn't see it. Anyway I was so happy when I saw that y'all put out and episode that I forgot about being mad.😂 I've been waiting for y'all to get back to this! Slow and steady doesn't just win the race it also makes for a better finished product. I hope y'all are doing well. Love and hugs from Waco.❤
Yay, you’re back!!
Wow where have yall been?? We need more boating content. Lol anyways keep up the great work guys. Much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤
I'm not sure about the setup of the steering on a 57, but on my 72 Chevelle, the steering arms on the disc brakes are in the front. I almost made the mistake of installing them in the rear of the brakes. Luckily, I realized before I assembled them that the linkage needed to be forward. Love to see you two back at it. I'm kinda reliving my build as you go through the process. Good luck, and stay safe!
That'd be a fun name for the car, The Black Widow. Glad y'all are back !
Especially if it gets painted the Black Widow Tuxedo black and white combo.
Awesome guys been waiting for this build to continue
Doesn’t matter how you do this we’ll still watch it do it the way you want to
Yeah! Great t9 see you all back in action!
The both of you work so well together it is always so nice to watch you both working together May God bless you always in Jesus Mighty name Amen
Heck yes from Australia 🇦🇺
Been looking forward to this
Well, it was about time. Nice to see a classic getting some love. Thanks for sharing the video.
With the upgrade to the big block Chevy, those disc brakes are a necessity. More go requires more woo.👍🏼
Yaaaaaaaaa buddy!!! Love the new Lincoln set up Arron!!! If anyone can use this set up it’s you guys!!! Can’t wait to see what you can build with these new toys! 🤘🏼❤️🤘🏼
Keep up the fantastic work! ✌💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I can't wait to see the end result and the 40 Ford.
I like the opened handed not knuckles busted my dad always talked about things like that great going aaron
Congrats on 300k subs!
@@coreywhitacre6581 thank you!!!
Hi, so my wife and I are embarking on doing a frame to body restoration on a '57 Convertible ourselves and this is the most useful video of the whole process I've found. It's easy and fun to watch, so ThankYou. I would say it would be nice if the parts/supplies you use were always listed in the summary (and I'm noticing that for this episode they are)... The only thing missing that we will need to be doing is we're going to have to replace both rear quarter panels, cutting and welding those in... so gonna have to go a different channel for that unfortunately (never weirded before, and I think your approach would be have been very helpful towards me doing it (mostly) right the first time... oh well :-).
Thanks again and hopefully I can share photos/videos of our completed project once we're done.
Joe in Wake County, NC
Nice to see yall working on that 57 I can't wait to see what yall do with it.
The black widow spider is the same as the Australian red back spider. The hour glass is in the back and not the belly. Be safe around them little critters. Good to see the project continuing.
Love it! I once had a 55 rag top, I miss it terribly!
I would love to see the 57 on power tour one day
Great job guys I love how all the new front end parts just bolted on.
Love you both enjoy watching you I'm doing a 56 chevy belair and I love the new front suspension from summit I'll have tonlook into it for my hotrod keep up the good times
Also, the gaps in the garage doors equal two open windows. The AC is having a tough time.
my heart fluttered when she said lover, then I realized that I was having an AFIB episode coincidentally. Wow.
Love ya guys, This is gonna be one fine 57.
Great to see you guys back.
Y'all made a really good start. Four wheel disc breaks make total sense. Hardly anything uses drums now. It's a safety issue. The one thing I think y'all overlooked is powder coating the frame. I get making content is motivation for all of the scraping n painting. But the final product would outlast all of us. The frame is basically down to bare so it wouldn't be a huge stretch to take it all the way down. The kit you got for the disc brakes is fine quality. I don't have to mention Wildwood or Baer. Ultimately, it's your car. Build it the easiest way you can utilize.
Missed you guys!
Y’all are the cutest couple. Emily you are so bubbly, outgoing, extroverted. And a little flighty. Aaron is so focused, somewhat serious, dry humored, and a little more grounded. At least from what I can see. So great to see you two back, and I’m loving this build, can’t wait to see more of this build. It seems to me that your little hiatus did you both well, you both seem to really enjoy making this video.
Glad you're back I'm going to love yall posting every couple days I'd happily watch every day if ya'll posted
Good for all 👍
Nicely done!
Flyin sparks and Squashin Spiders!
Great job you two!😁👍👍
Glad your back 🙏gonna be a awesome beautiful car 👍💯
love what the two of you do !! i enjoy watching the progress on all of your projects! i noticed that the valve covers are on backwards on the big block. but other than that it is looking awesome !!
Good job, I want to see when it’s finished awesome😊
Might help to keep it cooler in there if you install some of those rubber strips that hang down in front of your garage doors. It would be helpful to keep the heat in in the winter.
Welcome home. It's wonderful seeing more progress on this project. I anxiously await each episode. Love all of your content.
Good Evening , I am so glad to see you again today and I hope you are doing well and you are having a great day today Beautiful Lady 😊 !
How does Freeze Off affect spiders?
Worth putting a mask on for what could be such old brake shoes 😉🙌
It felt like south Florida here in southeastern Pennsylvania this weekend. Brutal! 😊
We had a black widow on our back door here in Oklahoma. The red marks are on both sides, the back and belly. Scary creatures.
Damn your re powering your boat and this job were do you have time for everything
@@ashleybunch9872 It’s kind of intense but thankfully you guys watch our videos so we call these projects our full time jobs!! Filming, editing and production is a huge piece of the job that nobody sees though 😅🙏🏽
I was wondering about that spring and the tension thanks for talking about u can get hurt if they fly out u had short travel to the floor which saved it flying kudos
Fun to see you working on the 57 nice upgrade on the front end where is Finley
Great video guy's I think that the shorter videos would be the way to go that way we're right there with you watching it come together bit by bit. Great job on the front end installation. God bless you both and be safe. 🙏✌️☄️☄️R. BKTS
The upper control arm always angles back for positive caster
I love it, nicely done 👍😁❤️
Thank you for the acknowledgement you 2 :) I have a long Texas heritage ;) dating back to the 1840-50's and beyond :) 💕 Like I said earlier, I enjoy what you to Lovebirds do together :) I wish I had that in my life, but sadly no. I did walk my Oldest kid down the path to marry her man last weekend. I'm one proud Dad 🥰 Keep going on that 57 build and many others :) Love ya'll
57 Chevy my favorite then 69 Z/28 Good to see the passion of the younger folks working on cars i grew up working on
If we had today's technology back then...
Blessings Love&Light
I'm glad you're back. Missed you :)
Oh and the creepy scary movie vibe sound effect with the black widow? KUDO'S ADRIAN!!!
Hahahahaha thank you!!! It made me laugh and also get goosebumps
Looking for my “brake hose removal hammer” 😂
glad your back on the 57
Maybe protect the engine, etc, while you chop through stuff just beside it. A fireproof blanket would be a great idea.
What's to not love about your wife being a car person and is capable of working in the garage right with you?
Then too, having a husband who is humble enough to look for instructions makes life much easier.
You two are unicorns, rare gems.
...thought you might replace the front brakes with discs and calipers. Not that there is anything wrong with drum brakes. Good work. I'm enjoying it. 🙂
I am enjoying this project. This 57 will be comfortable to drive and get parts for. Obviously not original, but a great looking driver and a classic look.
Looking good 👍👍
Great progress. Always good to be moving forward on something. I've heard the whole compilation video at the end is a great idea. Hope that works well for you.
The 57 project is really awesome, made me laugh when I saw the Black Widow , when I lived in Las Vegas I was doing frame off on my 55 Chevy and during the disassembly I came across a Black Widow. Sent it to the after life.💯🆒
