Thank You for your video ! You have a lot of great ideas that need to be put into use when doing a front rebuild , I've one by myself ! & it is not easy ! Thanks again.
I've seen other video showing more detail but the split pipe spacer for pressing isa bettrr idea that some have shown. But I have not seen any video of putting disc brakes on the front which would be a great update.
Using an adjustable wrench to break lose a fuel line?? Use a line wrench and support the brass block using another wrench!!! Also wrong nuts used on exhaust manifold studs. They should be brass. What a bunch of hackanics!
Great video, Bill. You should add that those oddball 11/16-18 control rod nuts are impossible to find in a hardware store, I've been looking all over Los Angeles. DEFINITELY preorder 5 from Clark's: 4 in the car and one to slit and make a thread chaser.
Most folk are clueless about the A-arms collapsing under the pressure of the press. Even an 1/8" makes re-installation a bugger. Try spreading those back out and you're in for a fight. Good tip.
When GM puts their mind to it, they can build some great cars. The concept of an AIR COOLED car is phenomenal and GM did solve the differential problem. There exists aftermarket (bolt-on) rear sway bar suspension fixes for the Corvair as well. I wish GM would reintroduce this AiR COOLED car once again, but with modern engineering applications and design. To have one dangerous component removed - antifreeze - would win the hearts of GM customers.
My new fuzzys sit at least 1/8" away from the glass. Its a really original unrestored '65 Monza convert. I'll make a video... I just rebuilt the master cylinder, I posted a video...
@Malcolm Bentley that's cool. I've been watching you mom on a place called RedTube. You should see her cool videos there. You'll love them as much as I do. Socks don't lie bro.
