32 roadster is very nicely done, I just love the back window!!
The attention to detail... Masterful work, Lee👍💯
Thank you! Cheers!
your self confidence is refreshing
As always Lee, appreciate your explanations on the different products you use
Machining those centre caps was definitely the way to go
Cheers

I thought the bearing retainer was on wrong ,anyway you got it right and the car is looking amazing.
Great video Lee, attention to detail is awesome. it’s so cool that your are helping out the young Fellow from Willson Builds with his projects. The young Man has a great channel.🫵🏼💯🆒
Zach is killing it !
Car turned out great! The quick change is the stuff of hot rodder dreams (sooo expensive)! Opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has 'em, but steelies all around and pie crusts would look great on the ride. Loved the walk thru of the Chavers rear window. Really adds to the look of the car! Can't wait to see what you get into next! Go LGKustoms, keep moving forward!
I totally agree on the wheel choice. Or some real chrome reversed rims with like a 2” white wall for that early 60’s look.
very cool looks a fun ride, great little tips along the way , great work as always 👍👍👍,
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice job I love good looking hot rods Kirbys a lucky guy kudos to you Lee great job
Thanks 👍
Nice work Lee. It’s kind of sad that company provided little to no help. Car looks awesome.😊
Tell me about it
Beautiful car and wonderful workmanship! I'd be afraid to drive it though.
At the end of the day, it’s still just a car. Chips can be fixed. Scratches can be touched up.
you done a great job working the rear end and finishing the roadster
Thank you
...hi Lee...that is one badass roadster.....over the top chrome and black and red where it needs to be....between Kirby's vision and your know how, that thing is a jewel....
Yea it turned out pretty good
Take us along for a test ride with you and Kirby please!
Dude!!! Nice job!!! Sucks to do the job twice!!! ✌️
Beautiful little car, Well done Lee.
Thanks
Sweet car. Nice work!
Thanks!
Is a Hotrod ever finished. Your workmanship makes for a great looking car. Thanks for all your detailed education.
Very slick 32 good job👍
I feel your pain on doing the job twice. I can’t speak to Winters but it amazes how often I buy parts that arrive with no, or poorly written, instructions. A few hours of time at the word processor could save so much aggravation and money for the end user. Factor in the hourly cost to a professional shop and I suspect a redo can make the difference between a modest profit and a big loss. My condolences.
Unfortunately this kind of stuff happens a lot in this industry
Very nice finish!
Such a nice rod!
Always kicking ass dude, loved this one. Just hate the tires hahaha
Yea the wheels and tires would not be my choice either.
Lots of improvements
Looks sharp
Good job Lee, That car will win a few trophies at the car shows!
Winters grrrr how frustrating. Watching Jim press them on looked very tight on the axle.
They definitely made his bumhole pucker haha
nice work, like always
Looks good 😎 nice job Lee 👍
Thanks
Looking good!
Looks really good!! To bad about those spacers though.
Beautiful car. You did an outstanding job. Kirby should be very happy.
He's stoked!
That’s looking great. I like the contrast of the shiny against the black. I’ve just got in from going to see big sandy and the fly right boys. In fact I’ve been greedy and went down to Brighton. to see them 05 07 24. And today 06 07 24 I went to Birmingham to see them again.really had a good time. And to top the weekend off. I’m going to see a friend tomorrow and there’s a car show on I think mostly classics. The post man came as well. Thanks so much the boys love there shirts. Take care and all the very best Tim.
Cool! They finally made it!
Looks great
Hi Lee love the build and love your channel. Looking at you re assembling the rear brakes I believe you may have the shoes on back to front. The shoe with the shortest lining should be at the front (10 + years working in a brake shop). I also love the build on your 35 sedan. Keep up the great videos.
I just put them back the way the manufacturer did, as I never removed the e-brake leaver from the shoe when I took them apart for chroming.
@@LGKustoms maybe they were assembled the wrong way originally, just an observation.
38:32 Straight cut gears are always noisy, that's one of the reason rear end gears are helical cut so there is very little noise.
Straight cut is a stronger gear vs helical.
Awesome 👍
Beautiful - really like the stance! I noticed the front valence was missing ? You took an 8 and took it way past a 10 !
The front valence is still getting painted.
Straight cut gears, although stronger, are not used in gearboxes or differentials in modern cars because they are noisy . . . but crikey the car looks good, better if it had fenders
I like fenders on coupes and sedans, but never a roadster haha
@LGKustoms I'm thinking of the paint, Australian showgrounds and potholed roads need mudguards
i don't think a bearing manufacturer would have such a big O ring off-set if it did not matter which way round it sits . Bad idea to chrome springs. The heating cycle used in chrome plating could soften the spring, so it would not be at the rate you think.
I’m assuming the bearings are also used in a different application where the o ring makes sense. But in this case, with the housing having a seal already, the o ring is kind of redundant.
As far as the chrome springs, I’m not an expert of spring engineering, but I would think the company that makes and sells the springs (QA1) has taken the chrome process in to consideration, and if there was a problem they wouldn’t be selling them.
Documentation is another $1000 for the Winters rear end...
Lee what does winters recommend for gear lube and weight?
Naturally, they recommend Winters brand gear oil haha. They want a gear oil with Moly in it. Whatever moly is haha. We just got the winters oil, surprisingly it doesn’t have the usual gear oil stink, and it’s really gooey, like pancake syrup.
How's the 47?
The 47 is on standby at the moment. Have a few videos planned for the near future on it
Is that a glass car ?
Yes it is
