Nice video, I will have my kit next week for my 67. I ordered the calipers in gloss black to match the rear. Love the POR-15 paint, goes on super smooth. Boom!
Omar, How'd you decide on the viking coilovers? I'm in the market and there are at least 4 good quality choices. I want comfy ride, improved handling and a little lower than stock.
Yes there are lots of choices. I honestly got this because of the price and the fact that they are adjustable. So you can have a smooth ride or make it firm by changing the knobs. And they are lower from stock, good bang for the buck. I would call them, they are really knowledgeable for your setup.
Looking great! Do you have to go to power brakes when doing this? I've been wanting to put front disks on mine. I have 15" american racing wheels on it so hopefully the disk and caliper will fit.
jewllake you don’t have to go power brakes, but the galaxie came with it! The kit can fit some 14’s but it will definitely fit like 90% of 15 inch wheels. I’m going to get some American racing wheels too!
Looks nice i have a 65 but i want to chance it to disk ony i have already a booster but it brakes not nice whit drumbs so i want to instal also wilwoods but what inch do i need and how mutch pistons 4 or 6 i have 21 inch wheels so space wouldn be the problem but i think i need an otter booster becouse the rear is stil drums what do you think whats best?
Just depends what you’re going to use the car for. 4 piston is fine for everyday, 6 piston has some huge rotors so they’re pretty pricey. I would call wilwood, their tech support is really good
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie thank you.. I have 18×8 foose f-208 rims all around. Do u think the brake caliper will rub the rim?. I also want to do the rears like u did your. What's the part numbers for your fronts and rears? Thanks again
@@germanmelendez6718 mine are 15 inch and front and rear fit fine. Front are 140- 13653-D. For the rear kit you’re going to have to measure the offset on your rear hub, It also depends if you have an 8 inch or a 9 inch rear end
Your greasing the front wheel bearings was insufficient. It's called packing the bearings. Those bearings will fail prematurely because rubbing grease on them is moved away from the bearings as the rotor spins.
@@OmarRamirezGalaxie it's not that you didn't have enough grease, greasing wheel bearings is forcing the grease in between the cage and the bearings on the inside. There are videos showing this technique by hand and with a bearing packer. When those bearings start turning at 20, 50 miles per hour that grease on the outside will remain on the outside and bearing failure will not be far behind.
Loving your videos man! I race a 64 and am in the process of building another 64 Galaxie into a street hotrod! I have the same Wilwood kit on mine and love it! You can check out my cars at facebook.com/jeff.lambert.5895
