    What's funny is that it almost doesn't matter what wheels you fit on the rear, they're barely there at all 😂

    Such an underrated channel! Your awesome rusty cars make me feel so much better about my rusty car lol. Keep up the good work and thank you for the motivation.

    I love it! Believe it or not, I had the same problem on a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500! The trick for me was to both jack up the body and air up the bag near the wheel I needed to remove, then air down the opposite side both front and back to get the rear corner up in the air. Dropping the opposite side front corner really made the difference. Even then, I’d have to tuck the bottom of the wheel under the axle to get it off! It’s crazy what we do for style! 😂

    Good choice in wheel. The more I watch you build up this little car, it makes me want to tube chassis a rusty volvo 122 wagon I have sitting here.
    Keep up the good work!

    That 2nd car the Mercedes was like the 1st car my Dad had me spinning donuts at the age of 13. Such good memories. Cool channel

    @Coffey_bus Před měsícem +1

    I trick on Vw busses is to fit adjustable spring plates, that way you can wind the set screw out and get more droop might work on a bug pan too

    I absolutely love the big steering wheel in it so sick how they used to run them because of no power steering

    I have a bending die for 3/4 square. Square is great to work with and not many people use it.
    Wheels are perfect!!

    Outstanding work John! You're killing it on the car and using lots of different tools to make it all happen!!

    So. Many. 944's. Those other wheels were cool and all, but those mahle's are sick. I'm gonna need that next episode asap, I've already binged everything else haha so stoked to see what's in store!

    Itt lays out hard

  • @mikepeace6694
    @mikepeace6694 Před měsícem

    Looks like you're going to need to build a cantilever setup in the rear and mount bags to bars to get maximum drop and lift to get the wheels on and off.

  • @jeffreybanks9642
    @jeffreybanks9642 Před měsícem

    Definitely the right wheel choice hopefully you’ll leave the centers in the state they are in they look perfect on the car.

    @Speachism Před měsícem +1

    Man. I would be So tempted to make it a Conv maybe mold a glass removable top for it. Whats the word on trimming that lower center edge? May want to just fold it under to have some extra to work with

    I was really expecting a more exciting wheel, those RUF wheels would have been the halfway point between cragars and German wheels

  • @arupalaka9090

    Go with the 16" wheels

  • @jonathanburnham627
    @jonathanburnham627 Před měsícem +1

    lol same issue removing rear wheels from a slammed straight axle early VW bus. I’d have to unbolt the axle from the slotted spring plate and pull it down….and still barely wiggle the wheel/tire out. 😂

    Please do a proper panel and paint job on it. I and I'm sure others are utterly sick of the cheapskate patina bullshizer. Just about every man and his dog are doing patina to be just followers.
