- Today I wanted to share how to Install the CPP Tubular Control Arms and The Viking Coil Overs into Project LS. I worked off my Camera Phone in the shop did the best I could to get the basics of the installation. It was very hot in the shop and I worked the full day so I wasn't feeling good when I shot the video, but hopefully it will help anyone interested in this setup! I am not endorsed By Any products in this Video.

Just did this on an old 57 210, followed the tutorial and it went flawlessly, thanks for all the help!
Thank you a great Vid. I will be installing on my 56 .
G'day looks terrific what you've done to the front suspension, just one thing you've gone to all that trouble it would have been good to fit stainless steel brake hoses and neoprene bushings on the links ect . Just a thought John PS good idea the threaded rod never seen that before, great!!
Great video , Thanks .
Man those shocks look amazing! Nice job! The video looks great too! =)
it was over 100 in shop working all day on client cars.... I did this video after work... I got sick just after shooting this... overheated
Great vid keep em comming
I want some for my Bus. Haha!
I’ve done the same installation and one other thing I also have the bad knees and back but to be expected I’m older than my 56 Nomad lol
You did a great at job with the install, but you busted your back with the large wrench to remove the nut from the compreeeor, you could have welded a one ft piece of pipe to fit the treaded rod and then is nut on top to fit the wrench and bottom nut to fit the treaded rod ,easy
Its typical me... I like to do things the hard way!
Hello Great video, trying to do my own suspension work. Can you tell me where one can find the tool used for the coil retention. Thank you.
Tool is supplied by Classic Performance Products out of California. Call them they should have it.
Thank you for the help!!!
Duckman sent me!
I was looking at buying these for my 64 impala. How do you feel about the ball joints mounted from below on upper control arms? I'm worried from the lateral forces braking the bolts
Good question. There are no cases of failure unless they were not properly torqued or the mating seat was not true to the part. being below the control arm is safer than above.
Did it panic stop with that upgrade?
have never needed to, we pressure tested the system after install and it is very sufficient.
Where are you located
Does this vehicle have a rack or a gear box steering?
Delphi box... no rack
Hey mate whats the part number for the brake kit you used in this video cpp website is really hard to navigate.
The part number for the ones we installed are 5557SWBK-D12 in The CPP catalogue. Thanks for asking!
@@ES4406 thankyou mate.
Can you tell me what part number the Viking coil over shocks are ?
I have to look...I will get right back with you!
Was that a kit or bought separately, and from where?
Everything in one stop shop through CPP
Was that an original frame
Yes its the original factory frame for 57
@@ES4406 Thanks what did you use to treat the frame rails inside and out I'm starting on my 57's frame and like how yours turned out.
@@willbk392 after media blast and forever flushing out the frame corridors, we used Axalta 2580cr Epoxy primer and followed up with Nason Industrial Black with a HQ activator 12305 ... Next frame we do we will use Axalta Rival, we are very impressed with it and the holdout better than the Nason Industrial.
@@ES4406 Thanks for the reply I'm in the process of restoring a 57 gasser and thought your frame looked pretty good. The body came off mine this weekend and I'll be starting on the frame.
@@willbk392 Love the tri fives! Please keep us updated!
