Cool, I remember when it was that easy to work on my cooling system. Now I'm running a couple electric water pumps and 2 radiators.. We will see how that will work out. When I first restored my 57 in the 70s, I ran the Cragar's with the spinners. But I ended up brass platting my spinners. I also brass plated my disc brake calipers. That looked real clean through the spokes of the Cragar's.
I really like your explanation of the angle of the drive train!! 3 degrees is what is recommended, so that is what I will strive for. Where can a guy buy one of those 'angle finders' like you showed?? I had a little vibration in my 56, so I am real interested. Thanks for sharing your expertise!!
There are lots of videos on this at youtube. Monster Transmission has a good write up at their site as well. I'm still waiting on parts so the intake is not ready to go on.
Is Steve my brother by a different mother? His choices are perfect. I'm a Cragar SS with spinners, Cherry bomb muffler with tailpipes, short water pump kind of guy. Although I do prefer a 56 over a 55 but I love them both.
Hopefully u can help me on getting a 8-in wide x 15 steel wheel made, stock rear end and suspension on a 55 Chevy as far as the back spacing. Would four and a half inch backspace give me clearance as long as I don't get too big of a tire? Thanks I've been watching you for a long time. Great job!.
@@haffrods7055 thanks. I believe you said on the cragars you went four and one quarter inch backspace. That would be okay, right. I have to say you have really educated me over the last couple years in regards to a 55.
@@gregburris4947 Yes Cragars are 4 1/4" backspace BUT his car has a 1976 Camaro 10 bolt rear end. They're wider than stock but can't remember how much wider
Love your attention to detail and love the shirt!
Haff rod ....haff to say you are a huge service to the 55 community ,
Looking pretty awesome

Steve's old rally wheels on the rear were 15x8 with 4" backspace. He had no rubbing issues before
