Thanks for the help. Started putting mine on today so I went back and reviewed your installation. Thanks Brad
Thanks for re-watching and I hope it helped a bit.
Thanks!
Thank you Kirk. I appreciate you watching!
OK I went to HD today and picked up my 2 8ft 4x4s and 8 cynder blocks. Lets lift this thing.
Im hangin on every detail brother! nice work
Nice. Good luck with the project!
I sure can appreciate your "quality" build. You're taking your time and doing it right! Lookin good - chassis getting close for driveline!! You'll be really glad you did the "dynamat" stuff. Happy New Year
Thanks Tony!
It's good to see parts showing up and you getting them installed. It's moving along good so far 👌. Thanks for sharing 👍 can't wait for more. Happy New Years and have a awesome week ahead 😀
Thanks man I appreciate the kind words. Happy New Year to you as well!
Looks good brad ,
Thanks David!
Looks good so far. Look forward to part 2. Be safe and stay well.
Thanks Brian!
Wow i just stumbled onto your channel, and i'm digging it
Thanks man!
Aw man! You are going to be riding smooth! Awesome new parts!
Everything seemed to go together pretty easy..
Thanks Henry. Yep, it sure is nice installing shiny new parts!
I'm hoping to start this process in a day or two with the same parts. Thanks for sharing.
You bet man I hope it helps. Part 2 should be up soon. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching!
These places need to show the people working for them how to package the stuff up ,so it doesn’t get damaged . I got a can of paint that was just in the box ,you got some nice stuff lucky it wasn’t damaged. I would have done the same thing with the washers . Looks very nice brad .
Thanks David. Yeah seems weird how bad some stuff gets packaged.
Glad to see a build that your not chopping everything off that made them cool in the first place . Happy New Year .
Thanks Tom. I don't think I'll be chopping too much off of this thing....
Man - that’s a good looking frame!!!!
Thanks Bryce. I spent way too much time on it, so always happy to hear people think it looks good. Be sure to check out the previous vids showing getting it prepped and sprayed. 👊
Coming together nicely!! The new front suspension looks awesome!! Happy New Year!! Cheers!! 🤓
Thanks Paul!
Bit under the weather but woke up in time to say Hi 👋 Looking good Brad 👍
Thanks for stopping by. Get to feeling better!
Happy New Year Brad.
The suspension is coming along nicely. You will enjoy the ride with the tubular a arms and coil overs.
Rick
Thanks Rick! Stay warm out there.
Looking good Brad. When I did mine it was a pain in the butt. I had to put the motor back in it for extra weight.
Thanks Mike. Did you use regular coil springs? These were pretty easy...
No I used the Chinese ones LOL
Lol Brad , I was watching to see if you was going to take off the heavy plastic ball joint protector. Great installation video.
Haha thanks. I knew what to do by the time I got to the second one, so at least I'm learning.
@@MontanaGarage this is going to be a nice build .
@@lesterreed9948 Thanks man. I sure hope so.
Looking really nice. Its good you didnt go cheap on the suspension. when your 60 , you will appreciate the smoother ride. LOL. Have great New Year Brad and keep the videos rolling in.
Thanks Randy. I appreciate that. Hopefully I get to drive it by the time I'm 60...
Looking great 👍
Thanks Michael!
Hey don't keep us in suspense!! 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry man... 👊
@@MontanaGarage I was just joking. A pun.
@@jack002tuber I know man. Thanks for following along, even when I make you wait!
I think you should have paused the video and picked up some anti seize for those coil over shocks. Now you have to take it all apart to lube them properly. It's a video. No need to rush through the assembly. The car will be great when it's put together. The frame and suspension pieces look great.!
Thanks for the tip. I just took the coil over back out and put some anti-seize on while installing the other side. Only took a couple minutes. I appreciate you watching!
And liked it enough to subscribe, cool cool
Thanks again. Much appreciated!
Will be watching HAPPY NEW YEAR Brad ✌️😎👍
Thanks Kevin. Happy New Year to you as well! 👊
I was just going to say you definitely need anti-seize on them our you’ll be in for nothing but trouble. Looks like a pretty nice kit. Starting to come together.
Thanks Greg. I actually pulled them apart and added some.
@@MontanaGarage
I learned the hard way maybe years ago on our dirt cars 😂
Happy New Year Brad...
Thank you Duane. Happy New Year to you as well!
That lower control arm that your working on goes on the right side the ball joint faces up not down???
I hope not, that would be embarrassing 😬. Maybe some are installed with the ball joint facing up, but these were installed as per instructions with the ball joint facing down. Thanks fir watching and trying to help!
YIKES 😮😮😮HOLY SHIT Brad😮 WHAT DOIN 👀HAPPY NEW YEAR Brad TO YOU, and the FAMILY🙏 ALL the BEST for YOU IN 2022
Same to you Bill. Thanks!
Hello happy new year
Happy new year Nolan!
Do you have list of part numbers for the control arms and coil over shocks/springs? What are the springs rated at? This should work on a 56 210 post 2 door?? Thanks for any info. The frame is looking really good.
Hey man thanks for watching. The springs are rated at 350lbs, and it was recommended to me to use those with a small block. They should work fine on your '56 build, but I would recommend verifying with CPP or whomever you order them from to be sure. I'll dig up part numbers and reply again later. Good luck with the build!
@@MontanaGarage Thanks you for filming the show. Do you have a video showing how you did the wheel tubes ? thanks
What’s the plan for the rear, four link?
Thanks for watching Vern. The rear is already done, kinda... I did a pocket kit with lowering leafs and Caltracs. I'm hoping to replace the stock rear with a 9 inch soon.
Happy New Year!! Not related to this video, but I am thinking about a rotisserie as my 57 project advances since my workspace is limited and an odd sized area. Being able to flip the body up on it's side, on purpose :) would go a long way in maximizing my work area. Was wondering if you could grab a measurement of the length of your rotisserie with the 55's body in place so I can see if it would work in my area? Just want to make sure I can open & close the door. Thanks much, enjoy the videos very much.
I'd be glad to do it Dennis. I'll try and post something here tomorrow afternoon. Don't be afraid to remind me if I space it out. Thanks for watching!
Hey Dennis. I measured the length of the rotisserie. It is 195 inches long as it sits with the body on it. I'm sure all rotisseries mount a bit differently, but with mine there is approximately 27" of the firewall to the back edge of the rotisserie at the front of the car, and it's abouts 24" from the edge of the tailpan to the back of the rotisserie in the rear. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. 👊
What weight springs are those?
Thanks for watching man. The springs are 350lb. I cannot remember if it was CPP or someone else, but someone recommended those for use with a small block engine.
Happy New Year!!
How will you get the bump stops in??
Thanks Howard. Once there is weight on the car there should be room.
@@MontanaGarage I didnt think of that..Thanx...
Stay healthy..
What length and width of bolts for upper control arms? Why would cpp not send them? Idiots I swear.
My kit did not come with them either. Luckily for me, my originals were still in place and useable, so I didn't have to deal with finding replacements. Research tells me they are 7/16-20 X 2 1/8 knurled bolts. Good luck sourcing some and thanks for watching!
how bout those shims...didnt see any...that aint gonna work.../
If you're referring to shims for the upper control arm, yes it needs shimmed. I didn't have any on hand at the time. It'll get shimmed when I do a home alignment to get it close ish then get a real alignment. Thanks for watching!
