What's up everyone? I'm currently documenting the arduous process of doing a project with and for my father, a 1964 Chevy Nova SS. He's wanted to do this for over 15 years, and because he's almost 70, I don't want to let time get away before we can bond and make more memories together. Follow along, comment, subscribe and lets see what it takes together. God Bless!

Kinda brushed through this video (sorry bout that) but saw your issue with getting the front at 'ride height' while still being able to maneuver the tire inside the fender. When you have the car up on stands, jack up the LCA til the wheel is where you want it or even maxed out (hitting bump stop or max travel), and you should still be able to turn the wheel to mimic turning at ride height or in a dip with the fender on. Also, as someone who DIY installed a couple flares kits, I'll share some experiences and issues I faced. I used some 'universal flares' the first time, and I already had a set of wheels and tires purchased, so I already knew I was in the ballpark fitment wise. The wheels mostly filled out the flares, so I got that last bit of fitment with spacers, this way if I decided to eventually get meatier tires (which I did) I could use the same wheels and lose the ~15mm spacers but still fill the flare well. As for installing, the order of the steps you take are pretty important, imo. Cut the fender and quarters so you can drop the car down to your ideal ride height - trim and sneak up on it to where you have enough susp travel to not hit the tires, but keep as much metal as you can (gives more freedom to mount the flares higher or lower as needed). When the car is at the ride height you want, then install the flares. This way you're getting the perfect fitment by choosing where to mount the flares, instead of raising or lowering the vehicle. Its a balance between this, and how the flares look on the body as a whole. When I did mine I mounted the flares first to where I thought it best suited the body lines and looked even on the car, then cut the metal to match that. But what ended up happening was when I finally dropped the car on the ground and set the ride height to where I got my ideal fitment in the flares, I had slight reverse rake. I ended up raising the rear a bit so that my car was level (at the cost of rear wheel gap) - I really should have mounted the rear flares about 1/2" lower on the body but I did things out of order. Even if I wanted to remount and lower the rear flares, I cut the arch a bit too close to the flares unnecessarily, so new holes aside its not really feasible because I didn't leave much metal inside the flare. If you got a chassis specific kit, ignore all this! Lol. Sorry for the TED talk (and if you covered any of this already in the video that I missed! Lol), hope any of these tips can help you in the future! I'll sub to keep an eye on the progress, 100th sub btw!

@LostBoys.CarClub Месяц назад
I appreciate it bud- I did sort of mansplain it to my wife this way, that we won’t finalize flare placement until we have gotten to a point where a some miles and testing/tuning has been done. Thank you for sharing your story in this because this will be my first time doing flares like this myself!

@@LostBoys.CarClub Not gonna lie, their subframe never really impressed me anyway. The best part is the bitchin inner fenders, and well, they are DSE inner fenders not CBR. So yeah.

@OneMoreBolt 4 месяца назад
Well, good news about the motor at least. BTW, 8k rpm is easy. good balance job, right cam, single plane intake any good heads (even old camel humps) and electronic ignition (dual point if you want to get frisky with the old school) and you can whip up 8k. That said, if you push the power band up that high, it's gonna need like 4.30 gears or higher to make it worth it and with a 4sp and no overdrive, not gonna be an enjoyable cruiser. I'd really suggest considering what the car is mostly going to get used for and build around that. Just a thought. I love screaming SBCs, so I'm not saying not to do, just playing a little devils advocate like I do for myself on my projects.
@LostBoys.CarClub
@LostBoys.CarClub 4 месяца назад
Realistically, the car isn’t going to be much of a street car, or even drag, we may give it a shot to see how it does, but the more we plan out the car, pro touring isn’t even the category. I’m thinking we do something a little more than that, like the Silver State Classic. As the car evolves it will be more and more track focused.

Looking pretty good with all the fresh black. For future endeavors, a floor jack really helps when hanging parts like the front frame sections, that way you just have to balance the part rather than hold all the weight up.
