Man I love chevelles especially the older ones 1966 chevelles the body stile is so bad ass beautiful, and wow now with all the things like LS motors and up grades there are no limits to what you can do with your chevelle we are living in the greatest times ever and very lucky, know wander you are named lucky ha ha hang in there bud your friend David King
I fucking love those 2dr wagons......that thing is gonna be sweeeeet when she is up and running! !!.........do I see a 1st Gen firebird in the shop too!! My buddy's mom had a 69 firebird when we were kids we used to sneak it out and take it for joy rides. ........that car was cool as shit even as a kid
A chevelle 66 SS I had was 4 inches higher on all 4 corners. Most people and me really liked how it looked. Handled great. Front was raised by using heavier coils from a station wagon.
You are correct lucky you're damn right my grandpa used to have a stogie and some whiskey while he was driving crazy times back then stay safe brother stay safe from that virus and that's a beautiful frame
Thanks for all the videos you put out Lucky. It must be a pain is the ass trying to work and set up cameras and record at the same time. It must add alot of time to a project to film all for our entertainment. This wagon is going to be So Rad. Thanks again Lucky.
Great work on installing that frame kit; the back of the wagon's gonna be stiff as a life sentence. The blue car's coming along real good, too! Keep up the awesome work, Lucky!
Love seeing these chevelle videos my dad gave me his 4 door 66 malibue I love these videos man you dont see people working on these old cars any more keep it up lucky!!!
Love the old Chevelles, my first car was a `66...miss that car. Punk ass kid had his license 2 weeks hit me in his grandfathers Caddy so hard he bent the frame. I got locked up for beating the shit out of him. It had a 193cu 6 when I got it, ripped that out and dropped a cammed 350 in it. Accident happened a month later. Stay safe Lucky.
Hey Lucky, it's FishJim, your wagon is coming along nicely. I have a lead on another 2 door wagon with enough parts to possibly build two more. Let me know if you have someone interested. Take care!
I absolutely love your attention to detail! Watching your videos gives me hope that there are still people who care about doing the job right. Which brings me to the question which many inquiring minds want to know... "What happened to the LeMonster?!" I loved the HRG episodes of that car! You say "it came back worse" and "the company sold it", I'm guessing you mean Motor Trend. I really hope you can shed some more light on the subject without upsetting "the suits". We're all "car guys" who don't care about the politics of corporations... we just care about the cars... ok... you too. Hope you're staying healthy out there. Thank you for giving us something to watch while we twiddle our thumbs! Stay safe!
Sorry lucky but if that "beanie" comes from Canada it's a toque. The loose Canadian definition and not the historical LOL. You're the man and would love to be your apprentice.
After you powder coat your frame, dilute chain saw chain oil with a slightly lighter oil (it's a real gooey & sticky substance) & spray it inside your boxed frame. (messy, but messes clean up.) You may need to re-spray every 5 to 10 years, but your frame will last forever! :)
Hey lucky , 64 2dr wagon is coming along nice ! When are we going to see a rendering ? What motor's /trans going in it ? Can't wait to see it complete ! One of my fav's ! It would be nice if you made a little longer (20-30 min.) Love the channel ! Keep up the awesome work !!!!! Joe
i bought a hellwig boxing kit for my g body buick and damn did it make a huge difference factory welds on my frame is terrible the welds on your frame look alot better then on mine
Have you tried the Steel-it aerosol paint yet? They are really starting to promote it as being weldable and easy to spot repair if you need to weld after you've already painted the frame with it. It's not cheap, that's for sure.
@@luckysgarageshow I believe I've heard you mention that previously. Just curious if you'd tried the other. Like I said, they're very proud of it price wise and I'm aware that POR is not cheap either. My boss had a bad result with POR on a trailer and left me with a bad impression. I know he was the exception.
Hey Lucky with those rear coil overs mounted in the upper shock mounts, aren’t you worried about the high stress cracking the frame. I’ve read that’s a no no mounting it that way. What’s your opinion?
So I just resealed the frame on my 66 gto and went through a nightmare getting the body off the frame. What’s the best way to replace some of the cage nuts so I can re secure the body bushings. I have a new set of bushings but I don’t have a lift or all the tools you have. Any help is great thanks for the video lucky.
I boxed my ‘64 Chevelle SS frame. I added a few gussets near the rear springs. Turned out good. Lucky, I was wondering because the wagons and El Camino’s are supposed to have a factory boxed frame. Your 2 door wagon did not. Was it the original frame?
Hiya Lucky - so, I finally get the backstory on the LeManster.. whattaya mean, worse shape than when you left it? I thought they (Lincoln Tech) were just spraying it?
Jeff Mutschler They disassembled most of the body. Sanded I couple panels stacked it in a pile and there it sat until we hunted it down and paid to have it shipped back. Then it disappeared. “Sold”
I can literally make this kit or something very similar for around $150. It's a few pipes and some flat steel give me a break and the "kit" cost $800 ya I don't think so.
Lucky’s Garage Show here is a thought on the chevelle I believe you said it was a 6.0 motor. I would bore it .065 over that would make it 6.2 but in an iron block. The only thing you would change would be the pistons, unless it has gen 3 rods. But how cool would that be?
