never was able to reach Noah Betty....

Hey bro you did a great job lot's of info much appreciated

I'm wondering if you can give me a front picture of the bracket that holds the power steering pump in place?

Any drive videos with the suspension completed? Interested to see how it all came out.

Great video! How did the alignment come out after? Without any shims my the negative camber is a little much. Shims would only make it worse. I’m curious how yours has come out?

Thanks for sharing

Man, I am a hot rodder thats been doing this stuff for 30 years, and youre doing this exactly how hot rodders do.....just do it and figure it out. Well done my man.

Where can we buy these parts from?

Good videos man. Can you put a link for the front shock and spring you got pleased

Good videos man. Can you put a link for the front shock and spring you got pleased

Great video. I appreciate it

hey bud love your videos. I just bought a 67 bird and i have multi leaf springs with traction bars and the bracket to the rear shock does not fit anymore. I bought the QA! shocks like you have. I was wondering if you can share a link where you bought the bolt's that you bought sepertly to mount the bottom shock to? Or just the nae of it? Thank you

Good job well done I'm doing the same job to my 71 Nova on my channel it uses a TS801 shock that is a "T" Bar mount. Look forward to see what's next on the bird......Subed

What happen!? Love the build why stop bummer... 😢😢

Why do you have to install u-bolts when the factory setup didn't have it, now you have to screw around with the rear brake lines?

Nice job

I have 1968 Camero can you tell which spindle you used . Thanks .

I have a 67 Camaro. How do you like the ride,is it too harsh? Thinking of staying with coil springs but using an adjustable Ridetech shock.

You never tighten the ft spring bolt to front bracket. Just wonder ing why.🤔

Where did you get the rear brackets from?

I'm building a 69. Still debating rear suspension. How does it ride?

Nice job! Getting ready to do this on my 69 Camaro

Did you ever get your rear brakes installed?

I have the same car and want to convert my manual drums to power disc. Do you know what the size of your brake booster is. I am worried about the ones in the kits fitting. Thanks.

I dropped a bolt in mine too, I was able to use a magnet to get it out, but was not easy. Thanks for sharing.

Nice Job. I just started my rear suspension today. My front bracket bolts are spinning. You got lucky with yours.

How do you like the ride with the QA1s

Since you had new spindles, you could have saved yourself some time and just separated the ball joints and left the brake drum complete and removed it as one whole unit.

Nice car you have there......

nice work and video

Another source for the rag joint is a Lares #201

Good job on the video. A couple of questions: who's control arms, do they change the parameters of adjustment? Either way, get it aligned when done. Secondly, are they drop spindles< or standard? Thanks

Those clip/cage nuts can be a real pain. So often they break off during disassembly and then you have a real nightmare on your hands when you can't remove the spring pocket screws. Regarding those rear leaf spring shackles. While you do want them in tight and hopefully using nylock nuts but be sure the shackles move freely as the car bounces up and down. You don't want them so tight that they bind up. Nice video series. You're going to have nice driver when you get it put together.

Hopefully you replaced the hydraulic proportion valve to accommodate disk brakes (?) Personally, I'm not a fan of 18-19 rims on classic musclecars; I prefer the classic look with lots of rubber (70-profile tires), but everyone has their own. You're making progress. More Power To Ya.

Cutting the wheel studs t length: Screw on a sacrificial nut first, then cut the stud. File end of stud of any large burrs. Then, as you remove nut, it'll automatically re-establish a clean thread profile.

10:09, too bad your camera-skipped over one of the most important steps of reassembly: Castle Nut to Bearing preload. Load the Castle Nut to approx 5 lb-ft. (Just a little "snug"). Spin the disk one or two rotations to ensure rollers seat themselves onto races. Loosen castle nut without disturbing disk, then finger tight nut. If cotter pin holes don't align, loosen nut (counterclockwise) to absolute next available alignment. I've done literally hundreds this way; never had a failure. I'd recommend a little more grease, too. Never install washers or dust cap "dry". Corrosion is imminent.

I realize this suggestion is way out of date, but would've been better to reverse the F-Bird onto the trailer instead of nose first for weight distribution reasons. At time-stamp 6:49, the camera is panning quickly but gives a brief shot of how far the Bird's nose and engine compartment is hanging in front of the trailer's axles; it's extremely front-heavy... puts unnecessary strain on tow vehicle & hitch setup. I also used a U-Haul dual-axle trailer to transport a '68 Bird from Denver to South Florida. ...loaded Bird in conventional way and my 2010 Tacoma 4X4 (V-6 & factory tow package) rear end squat way too much to be comfortable. The weight ratio (trailer to tongue weight) was well in excess of the recommended 10%. I reversed the FireBird onto trailer; the weight distribution was ideal. Looks like your tow vehicle was a full size Ram which could handle the additional weight easier than my Tacoma; however, proper trailering etiquette is still paramount.

Will this work for a 1972 Nova?

Really would like to know your impressions on driving with the coil overs. Good videos!

Thanks bro I have 68 firebird as well learning a lot and will be doing mine as well

17:32😂

Just did this on my '67 Firebird, good video man!!!!

so swaggy big bro

You want to sell this car? I am in North Carolina.

Nice work Ty, glad my brackets worked for you. FYI I think I used the same lower control arms that you did. The pre-installed ball joints were crap and got sloppy right away. I had to get some new better ones. So be checking your wheel play. Your wheels look sweet and I like the color on your calipers too 👍

Nice! Where did you get your control arms from?

Good job on the upgraded suspension.

OMG TY IM UR NUMBER ONE FAN

Umm, that's awful scary to grind on any aluminum manufacturerd part, & risk compromising its strength integrity. I purchased my brake conversion kit from Master power brakes. I got the pro series, the whole kit came with everything, 14" drill, slotted rotors, brackets, steel braided lines & new brake booster, master cylinder combo. It wasn't cheap, but it really looks good through my 17" year one, rally two's.

I'm glad to see another firebird lover! I've got a 68 also, but a convertible. I did a whole front end replacement also minus the control arms, it was my first time too. I did remove the control arms to change to poly bushings had to get over fear of that spring, but I did it. I had to laugh because I lost a new deep socket in that big stupid hole, & down in the frame also, & it's still there. It was also hard getting that inner control arm bolt in, I ended up damaging the beginning threads on the new bolts, so I ended up using the old ones. Now I know why the beginning of the factory bolts were cone shaped, because those smart fellows at GM knew you would tear those threads up.
