Stop Right Now! Major Brake Upgrade On A LS Swapped 57 Chevy! - Black Widow
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 10. 2021
- More progress on the 2 door conversion 1957 Chevy. In the last few videos all the rust has been addressed, followed by an LS swap and all new tubular front suspension. So with all the Go, we need a little Woah. Naturally I ordered a cheap front disc brake kit.
The kit is later model GM disc brakes retrofitted to the classic spindles. The kit also upgrades the ball bearing wheel bearings to a tapered roller bearing. This kit was a little different than I was used to but I got it all bolted together.
With the front brakes addressed I also completely rebuilt the rear brakes, added a new metering block and a disc brake master cylinder. Ill plumb it up on the next video, BUT WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS!!
Now tell me in the comments how I did it wrong.....
Also buy a shirt so I can buy more hood scoops:

Yes Sir...Black Widow coming alive.
Glad to see the shirt I sent Fit. I hope the one for Dani did as well.
Nothing like some fresh brakes on any car. So much better!
The black widow is coming along great. I’m with you, I hate change too. Don’t put duct tape in the heater box. You have easy access to it, fix it right.
Man you are making fast progress.
lots of progress. keep givin'er
Don’t feel bad about treating yourself to a little bobcat treat. You are the only CZcamsr I know that remains true to your passion. Keep Struggling on the cracked concrete floor like the rest of us but Save your back lifting with that new machine
That's my plan haha
Very good information and illustrations on how to in the garage with some cheap labor.
Never sieze....the gift that keeps on giving! 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Looks good! LS, disc brakes, blk-white, can't go wrong!
You got lot's done in this one!!! Well done Dan!!!
Dont thank us. Thank YOU for giving us all the great content. I will never watch regular tv again thanks to you and some other CZcamsrs
Wait a minute!
"The front clip's rasseled on"? I was anticipating and looking forward to viewing your precision and skilled installation of the 57's nose, with your exciting new toy....the Bobcat.
(BTW, thanks for griming up your mitts)
Dan, it's good that the brackets put the calipers behind the spindles. You mentioned possibly adding a front sway bar in a previous video. You would have had to move them anyway. Been there done that on dad's '57. We were able to just swap the brackets and calipers side to side and get different hoses, but it was a pain to have to mess with the brakes again.
It's a DD Speed Shop kind of day
Canadian winters do need windshield defrost. I'm sure you will fix it right while the car is apart. Looking good.
I'm 64 and I don't like change either! I feel for ya sir!
Haha
awesome work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love what you do. peace
I'm sure glad my 57 caddy heater core was ok....good luck finding one.
You're welcome for buying you your new Bobcat.
You earned it man.
But other comment has it right, no duct tape on the heater box.
I only put discs on the front of my 63 C10 because they dont make drum brake drop spindles. I like the old school look of drums, and if adjusted properly , they work well enough for the street.
Love your show. Please repair the heater core area, and don’t duct tape!
Keep up the great work sir!
Very informative Dan! If I had an old tri-five, I'd want disc brakes up front too and dual master cylinder...
Danni, look out, another brake bleed episode is coming your way!!!
Oya. She's excited....
Nice add Bobcat!!!
Good job Dan. Love the disk brake setup. Although I think you could have repaired the heater box with the proper sheet metal. I know you have the skills. Thanks for sharing the video. 👊😎👍
You worked hard to earn that Bobcat. Well done, man!
Thanks buddy
Love what you're doing. Keep these Tri 5s alive. I would spend the money and get the new heater box, as the cold is coming, and no one likes driving around in a cold car.
On disk / drum brakes it is a 70 - 30 split from front to rear .
LOL😅 Future Dan is glad you put brakes on the snowplow now !!!
Don’t you just love shining new parts!
Parts yes. Paying no haha
👍Keep Jamming! Its Lookin Good Dan !! 👍😊
Hey great work man I’m from Mississauga Ontario and I really like how you explain exactly what your doing step by step
Should be a great driver 👍
Looking Awesome!!....soon yll Driveing down the road in a Cool Black Widow 55!!....ready to see.
Good progress, Dan.
a million years ago we were logging a 20 acre job on a island . the mill dropped the price so low it would bankrupt us the morning we were going to start shipping .. we had 40+- loads of logs piled up on the landing.
we decided to cut it into fi free wood and haul it off the island 3 cords at a time . on a old early mid 60 gmc . the first load .
I wasn't driving not my truck .
anyway we came to the top of a long steep hill at the bottom was a dock 200 feet long at the end was Puget sound.
we were going 60ish and he hit the brakes to slow down . they went to the floor by now we were probably 70mph and having he tried to downshift (NEVER EVER TRY TO DOWNSHIFT COMING DOWN A STEEP GRADE.
HE MANAGED TO GET IT BACK IN GEAR unfortunately this blew the clutch.
we were free wheeling 90+ mph
the guy in the booth on the dock seen us coming and started running. there was a right turn at the bottom of the hill that ran outalong the beach we could to a stop.
I said take the right at the bottom of the hill.
he turned right into the holding lane about 100degree turn around 100 mph a old lady sitting in the holding lane with 12000 pounds of firewood on a old gmc 1 1/2 ton .
he makes the turn missed the scared old lady we coast back up a steeper hill now about 20+- from top the truck comes to a stop yippee
not quite no brakes no clutch . no e brake .we start rolling backwards down the hill.
at that point I jump out grab a big rock and threw it under the duels. they rolled right over it.but the front wheel hits it and it stops.
the ferry guy in the booth told us a year before a dumptruck blasted down the hill through the booth and into Puget sound.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY IF YOU HAVE A SINGLE MASTER REPLACE IT
Question is, how long was it before ya quit pooping seat foam?? I'm sure by the time ya got stopped they couldn't have drove a 10 penny nail up your ass with a 20 pound sledgehammer!!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@hughstephenson2957 no pooping there really wasn't time. mostly I was thinking about how cold the water was going to be Puget sound is cold year road and it was late fall. lol .
we had it towed to a old fashioned auto parts store at the top of the hill . replaced the clutch and wheel cylinder and went on our way but since then everything I owned with a single brake reservoir got a double right away.
I like to be able to stop.
@@hughstephenson2957 I did have a brake failure that was a pucker failure a couple years earlier that was electric brakes on my a 10,000 park model coming down lookout pass . at 2 am late spring snowing raining flying down a mountain holding my breath thinking ok I think I can make it to the next runaway ramp when I got to the bottom and could finally stop . I those days i90 had a red light and a right turn in the middle of town I got it stopped there was a chevron station across the street and I single handedly did my best to destroy wallace Idaho' s sewage treatment plant
Agreed! Brakes are kinda important haha
I know it's been a couple of years ago since you did this car. Love the black widow chevy.
Dan hose new disk brakes look Mint!!💪
Hey Dan is going together quickly and looking good won’t be long that thing will be on the road👍😎✌️
Man Oh Man I just love watching DD Speed Shop, I really love watching you putting these older cars back together. I really wish you would fiberglass a top for your convertible 57 . It'll be easy to do it. Keep up the great work and God Bless you guys and your families
Looking good 👍👍🇨🇱
Awesome ! Keep up the great content, much respect from Michigan!
Man your really putting in work on this one....it'll be as nice as the satellite was
Yeah. Trying to keep this one for myself haha
Looking good Dan, I can't wait to see this one on the road.
I noticed that you put the rotor on first then removed it oooops seen that lol good job Dan it’s coming together pretty fast looking good 👍🏼
Coming along nice dan really cool bobcat cant wait to see you work it

Gotta get it done before winter hits haha
@@DDSpeedShop or you loose the shop?!?!?!?
Good Vid 🖒🖒Making progress !!🐿
Great content, glad to see you moving along on it
Absolutely love DD Speed SHOP always great time from ground up step buy step 😁😁😁💟
Country Grammar. Its infectious. 😈 Side by side as found and after photo winner in the Tri-5 store.
I'm diggin' the bobcat! May you gain such proficiency with it that you can be one of those guys who can balance and drive it on 2 wheels!
"you are an old man and do not like change", get ready, you gonna get a lot grumpier with future changes.
Those Bobcats look like a helluva lot of fun to operate. Great score Dan!
Great video. I really like the look of the black widow. Cheers from Ottawa.
Lookin good! Can't wait to see her done! That reminds me, I better get started on replacing the band brake on my grandsons go kart. That's at least a four hour job.
I agree!!
Thanks for the video I needed this one and the one prior
I don't know if you have ever followed Tom Bailey (Drag Week King), but he also owns a Bobcat. And he said, (joking) you ain't nobody if you don't own a Bobcat. Thanks for the show. Ronnie.
Haha he seems like a smart man
If the master is for a drum/drum set up as original, not proportioning valve needed.
I splurged and bought a blue wrench back in July, no other way to change torsion bars in rusty 4x4 trucks. Been using the hell out of that thing, especially since the sawzall is about to die. How did I go all these years without a torch? I broke lots of hammer handles, thats how. I need to get my skid steer going so I can move engines around outside. Those things are super handy.
Oh man. The torch is an absolute essential!
Great work Dan... coming along nicely
As a daily driver , what about the ac Dan ? Use an old under dash unit ! You can do it !
Mayne in the spring.
Glad to see you are pulling this together. Surprised to hear you are going to Duct Tape the Heater Box compartment. With your skills this would be an easy fix. 🤔 I know you'll need the heater to work 100% in Winterpeg. (Couldn't you just do a voice over commentary on the "lost" video and save yourself some grief? We wouldn't mind.)
Yea I wish he would repair the heater box right. I know he has the skills. 🙏😐
Throw a quick patch in that heater box
Love watching you put those cars together great job your getting faster lol
"I'm an old man; I don't like change!" Bwahahaha..! Kids these days....... lol
Well done, kiddo!
Get set of forklift forks for the bobcat they will be handy for pushing pulling and putting in motors extra
I really like disk Brakes 👍
Morning Danny n Dani :)
Hey!
Great work man! It’s coming along nicely!
Thanks man!
Like they say at McDonalds "I'm Loving It" Way to go Dan Keep the faith YOUR CAR is starting to take shape. Good Stuff!
Great progress. The whole Covid shipping thing is messing up lots of things these days. Hang in there. It will eventually get worked out (at least I am still hopeful). I learn a lot in every video. Keep them coming. Thanks!
Going together pretty quick!
Skidsteer quick attatch is handy, need forks, a jib and a ball hitch mount for moving trailers.
Nice Bobcat n I see a U shape Driveway in ur Front yard in the future 😆
Glad I bought my bearing packer back in the 70's....Had to because I worked 50-50% commission till I went to work at a Harley dealership.....
I have a tool that gives you the perfect fit for push rod of brake pedal to master cylinder. It’s only $25 works great no struggling even though you’re a fan of struggling I’d highly recommend
Looking good man as always!! Kick ass man
Might as well do the leaf spring relocation on this one too. You need all the tire you can get.
275 just squeeks in there so I'm good haha
run all the brake lines then put the front clip on, the front wheel bearings are TIMKEN bearings
Another GREAT vid, looking good!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks man!
Looks like you have got some good brakes now. I thinking that duct tape do not stick to rust, so wire wheel it and paint then try sticking some duct tape on the heater box. Or pop rivet some tin to it.
Looking good Dan! I like the contrast of painted shiny new parts against the 60 yr old rusty frame! Should blow something underneath when done if it's a keeper and your daily winter sleeper(automotive poetry)! And as regards the outside just do epoxy primer, it's durable and it's available in black and white.
Great video man
When u change to 400hp + those old drum binders are worthless they heat up & fade. 👍🏼😎
Yeah. This kit is worth the money
Looks great Dan!! Interesting how the caliper bracket was different in this kit from the others. Love the Bobcat!! It will be your little helper. Call it Skipper? Lol!! Cheers!! 🤓
Haha
I like when you take the time and explain about parts. 3 different metering blocks and master cylinder. I have only ever worked with manual transmission. I have a 94 c10 that started life with a six. Somewhere along the way it ended up with a newer v8 that was switched to a 4 barrel. It’ has newer heads and has issues. I want to pull it but I have NEVER done a automatic. That seem to be the only things you do. When ya take em apart and back together what about the fluid? Ya need to do a straight axel nose bleed high front end sometime. TKS for all your sharing. Old guy Steve d
Get a Freightliner heater core....usually sell for about $50.00
I'll have the check it out
Yeah Dan it is good times 👋
I know what BBC really stands for. And i know for a fact you have a bunch on your phone!
Big Block Chevy!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I see what you did there
Oh I’m sure you know all about BBC, and it’s not chickens
Lol, once a bbc always a bbc
That's our secret!
good work. funny you are still packing bearings by hand. I know you have a bearing packer.
Sure wish I had a head of hair like that, Dan!! Lol. Mine left years ago for parts unknown! I'm obviously quite a bit older at 66, but I'm sure yours isn't going away like mine. Great video, keep wrenching Bro!
I like the way you build cars , if something was inferior from original you change it and make the car safer and just all around better . Who cares about original , keep up the good work . And I like the bobcat
Yup. Driving to make it a better driving car
I put a duel bowl master on my 66 C-10 the biggest pain was running new lines for the front to rear split .
In front of, behind, i don't think it really matters where the caliper goes. Its a street car, not a race car. All the big three ran them either way. Maybe mount them at the 6 o'clock position?? that should stir the pot. As long as the bleeder is at the highest point of the caliper, should be mint! Looking good man, kickin ass and taking names!
Haha thats how I see it too
Love this car
You should fix the heater box soo the de-frost works properly.
Many, if not most, want their brakes on the back side for weight aft of the spindle and for anti-sway bar space. Also, quite often people look for later model spindles for the larger spindle and bearings for far better life and safety..
dam not first but close
