0:50 :The people that do that, are the same ones that lower the rear end of their pickups; then they have to hang their heads out the window to see where they're going; or the same people that put over sized wagon wheels on their car which looks incredibility stupid! These assholes that modify their vehicles today have no idea what their doing and I especially hate to see when they turn muscle cars into pimp wagons! They lower them and put giant wagon wheels on them! It's just WRONG !! PS. My dad worked for Bethlehem Steel long enough that he was able to collect a retirement before they closed the doors! PSS. When do you expect to have this project finished? Thanks! Love your channel!
I am just starting to build an AC Cobra. Actually a street beast. Over 20 year old kit, been in a barn sitting but never built. Got it cheap. Found your vids. Hallelujah. Was wondering how the hell the hinges worked. Don’t have the door latches. Was just going to go with the factory five latches. So, any more vids on the cobra would be great. I am in Kannapolis NC. So anyone reading this and has experience building one of these. Or currently building one. Feel free to contact me.
Hey Pete, I have an 05 tacoma, and Everytime I turn and if the suspension(front) travels up or down it makes a clicking noise, I checked the ball joints and they are good no play, I recently changed the front brake rotors because they were warped, so the braking would make the steering tremble. Would it be the tire rods?
Great video, thanks! I'm not a fan of the extreme camber either, but I heard in some countries it was illegal for tires to stick out past the body. By leaning them in, wider tires could be installed and still be legal. Then it became exaggerated. Not sure if there is any truth to it, but that's what I heard. somewhere.
Awesome job Pete!! Is the new outer tie rod that fits into the spindle, supposed to be a tight press fit, medium press fit, or is no press fit at all, okay?
Pete sounds like you have had a very interesting career path. Seems like you ran in the same problem I did in my career. The company got bought out and shut down. Politics at work. If not I would probably still be there. Truly enjoyed working in flight test. Did you alway rebuild engines? I’ve personally have ALWAYS ENJOYED WORKING WITH MY HANDS. I might be wrong but to me it looks like you use a lot of craftsman tools. I have my first Craftsman box my mom purchased for me I think I was 16 yrs old. I lived next door to three older brothers and they took me under their wing and let me hang out with them till midnight working on hotrods. That when it all got into my blood and never left. This video was great and brought back a lot of great memories. My 68 Mustang ate up ball joints. Guess it didn’t like F70 wide oval tires and crager wheels and the squeaky control arm bushings. Well enough nostalgia thanks for sharing your knowledge. Wish I lived close to Buffalo for a visit someday. Had friends in the Navy that worked at the Chevy plant up in Lackawanna and chose to stay in the Navy because there was no work To go back home in the 70’s.. nice chatting stay well and safe Artie 😊🇺🇸
I worked at the Tonawanda engine plant 3 times, tough place to work back in the day. Many convicts were given the choice of military of the Chevy plant.
