- In this video I restore the old wore out suspension on this very rusty 1959 Chevy El Camino, to like new condition. I go to Trad Rod and Customs and Oliver gives me a hand pressing in the new bushings.
Thanks to all my Members!

Such a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction to rework the car to where it will ride and feel like it did when it came out of the showroom. You are doing a magnificent job, sir.
Hey Thanks! I can't wait for that first Drive!
Nice work on the front suspension restoration. The parts look almost new. Look forward to seeing the front end come back together. Be safe and stay well.
@briankinnear7461 Thanks Brian!
I appreciate the fact that you're out there in the woods getting it done 👍 and that you aren't too lazy to get on that wire wheel and clean up those parts! A true hot rodder👌🇺🇲
@craigbowley6783 Hey Thanks Man!
well done!!! let's bring this El Camino to life!!!
Hey Thanks! I can't wait!
You're doing nice work man! And I really like the repurposed wood burning work bench! CBGG is one of my favorite channels on CZcams
Hey Thanks! I really appreciate that!
Brand new recon part's there, should be a dream to drive after all that, great job,thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
@donaldhalls2189 Thank You!
Keep on trucking brother, you are going to have one beautiful rig when your done. Enjoying the progress
Thank You Brian!
You do great work and your sure not afraid of a challenge,Thanksfor doing this and showing it can be done .
Hey Thanks!
I'm sure once you get it de-rusted with the new parts and (massive effort) putting it back together, you will be proud! The inside of this car is what makes it worth all your challenges!
For sure!
This is very satisfying, nice work man! A door on the shed will be a great addition, especially for next winter
Hey Thanks Man! I definitely need that door up soon...lol
Thank you for another great video Jason, you are an inspiration!
Hey Thanks! I really appreciate that!
always look forward to the next installment in this series, its hard work but keep wrenching!
@travelah79 Thank You!
Lookin good, Jason! The El Camino is going to be a head turner! Keep up the hard work and we'll be watching. 👍
Hey Thanks Robert! I can't wait for that first Drive!
Very nice work! Thanks for sharing.
@supernovaVII Hey Thanks!
Taking the car apart is the hard part, along with cleaning. Painting and the assembly of all parts is the satisfying part. Also, it was great to see Oliver again! His build is rockin'! Have you ever used the c-clamp press that is used for pressing in ball joints? I've used mine on a bunch of things on a Jeep! Bet you can guess where I purchased it! Just like your bench top grinder and wire wheel! You are really making progress now! Keep smiling brother, see you on your next pass through!🪛🔧🧰🛠️⚙️😁😉🇺🇸
Thanks! I"ve been chuggin along on it!
Hey Thanks! I really appreciate that! I was thinking about purchasing one of those. I may need to in the future...lol. I can't wait for that first Drive! ✌🏻
Awesome video Jason!! Thanks for the cameo and kind words!
Hey Thanks for all the help!

Hey Thanks! I can't wait for that first Drive! God Bless!
Dude you're doing a fantastic job with what you're working with. Truly impressive. Love your style and attitude. Killer video.
@paulweigle6872 Hey Thanks Paul! I appreciate that!
It’s rough, but I’m glad to see you’re making progress on the elco!
You and me both...lol! Hey Thanks!
Awesome build. Love it.
@@dariussummers5549 Thank you!
Superb work they do look like new .
@paulb4uk Hey Thanks!
The work and detail you put into your builds is just awesome... The fact that you do it all without any fancy shop or tools makes you and inspiration!! I need to step up my game brother... Keep it up!!
@pugliesesspeedshop Hey Thanks Chaz! It's such a cool car, so that fuels the drive to do it! Take Care Brother! ✌🏻
You're doing an A-1 job on that. It will drive as well as it did when it was new.
Thanks! I can't wait for that first Drive!
Nice job Jason, new rattle can rebuild on the front end. Great video
Thank You!
I too have to keep half of my equipment under covers outside. I found BBQ grill covers work well. There're relatively inexpensive and come in several sizes. Can't wait to see the 59 rolling again. Much respect to, man. -from Texas ✌
Great tip! Thanks!
love the elcamino had one when i was 22 348 auto can t wait to see this one driving
Awesome! Hey Thanks!
Progress looks so good! 🌄
Thank you!!
Loving all the videos on the El Camino, keep up the good work, you're doing an excellent job 👌👍
@Classic-Shack Hey Thanks!

alright Jason, The Lord Be with you, your moving on it. it's going to be good when you get it back together.
The Lord Bless you and yours........
Thank You! I can't wait for that first Drive! God Bless!
Great video! Those are the strangest "dog dish" style backing plates. Never seen ones dished like that El Camino has. Its' looking good and anybody can learn from this build. Nice job!!
Hey Thanks!
Great job. As always I liked and shared. All my very best.
Hey Thanks! I really appreciate that! Take Care!
Can't wait to this old girl back in fighting shape!
Hey Thanks Man! I appreciate you watching! I really look forward to that first Drive!

Thank You!
Just found your Channel, Son! Awesome work so far on that ‘59 El Camino!
I subscribed and left a like!
Looking forward to seeing more!
@davidmiller6726 Hey Thanks! I really appreciate that!
Love the El camino
Thanks!
Good video Jason, the 59 is coming together, catch you on the next one😁😁
@DesertRatFabrication Hey Thanks Mike! I appreciate that!
@@CountryBoyGasGarage 👍😀
Looking good
Thanks 👍
FYI. You might want to pull the heater blower before putting the inner and outer fenders back on. It’s a bear to do with everything on. That blower I’m sure needs rebuild and cleaned up as well. Love the channel brother 👍🏻
Thanks for the tip! I appreciate that!
Parts look good.
Thank You!
Get a guard for that wire wheel on that bench grinder! Good way to lose an eye! I saw a guy get a thrown wire jammed up his nose! He was in a world of hurt as he tried yanking it out!
Oh jeez! That would suck! Usually I wear a face shield
very nice! hope you have a mig with gas for those panels too patch.
Thanks! I don't, just flux and no gas. I will probably have to call in a favor from a friend to help with the body panels. I'm not much of a welder but might try on some of the hidden stuff...lol
Jason - good progress good how to content too.
@@jimschafer9196 Thanks Jim!
Doin my own 68 yr old Chevy 56 2 door wagon rockers full floor already upgraded to disc bought power booster . Any way love watching
Awesome! Love the wagons!
Good job bro
Thanks
Most guys don't think of this.But when you heat up rubber, it gets soft.So if you boil water, literally, boil it, take your bushing before you go to squeeze it in and stick it in for 5 minutes.In boiling water it will make the process of getting into the slot so much easier.
There are $5 attachments that you just latch onto the top of a rattle.Can that serves as a spraying nozzle! Rustolium makes some they're pretty easy to use and they save your fingertips!
They make a spray cans so much easier to use.And I'll tell you what.There are one of the greatest inventions that anybody could have ever thought of.
Your dust caps....
If they are just beat up....
Use a screwdriver handle.
Lay it on a thick rag and use the handle as a body Hamer to reconnect the metal.
I refurbished the ones on two 74 Chargers. They came out nice.
Old isn't always so bad.
Ladders work great as paint stands along with bailing wire.
Bolts and screws.....
Best to paint by piercing through cardboard!
Slide them through and slightly fasten them together. Yu will find that there aren't light spots that will need repainting, and you won't get gloppy spots, because when you hold onto the cardboard as you spray, you can spray the whole bolt, nut and screw or wash at the same time rather than one side and then having to flip or turn them over to paint the other side.
As well as hanging parts off the ladder.
When you hang them, the Sam applies for painting both sides at the same time and junk won't fly up into the paint from your table top.
Laying it flat you have to wait for that side to dry in order to flip it to paint the other side.
It basically leads to less time on that part of the project.
You know how much fun watching paint dry is😉
Just a few suggestions.
I have tried all ways, and why I see a way to save time, I will throw it out there.
Nice work my brother!❤
Hey Thanks James! I really appreciate the tips! It all helps! Feels good to finally be making some progress and I can't wait for that first Drive! Hey take care man!
After you have everything back on the car ( engine,trans, fenders, hood bumper etc.) bounce the suspension up and down tighten the bolts for the bushings to spec. Use red locktight on the bolts or the bolts will work loose over a short period of time. Lock washers will do nothing. Blue locktight wont work either. Have fun
Hey Thanks for the tips! I really appreciate that!
I've been down the same road
Im loving the channel
@@davesracingchannel9261 Thank you!
You got a lot done. Looks like your hubs & bearings are the same as my '56 hubs. Many folks have strong opinions in regard to ball vs roller. I'm curious to see what hubs & or bearings you ordered.
Hey Thanks Man! I appreciate you watching. I ordered the original ball bearing style. Not sure what was the best choice but we will find out I guess...lol Take Care!
👍🏻
3:58 WHY is that hood outside and not hanging over the Head of the table in the Dining Room, lit by a chandelier? Also what is the bench/scrap metal we are working on that has the most bad ass hood scoop attached to it?
9:38 Where is jr? Isn’t that his job?
I'm thinking of hanging it in the shop but haven't got to it yet....lol. I was going to turn the old wood stove into a propane forge but haven't got to it either...lol. It makes a good little black smith work station!
Bro turn the bus into your tool storage !
Good idea!
