Do not let people get you down. You are doing a killer job. Much better than the "Pros", who do not describe anything. You are real, and that is what works and helps us learn with you and gain confidence to do repairs and restos.
I like the garage the way it was , it remined me of the old days when you just pull your car in and work on it and you didnt worry about the floor being cleaned all the time , love the videos ,old school stuff remind me of the good old days
Floor and the car look great! 6 weeks start to finish is crazy...wish I could get it done that fast!! Good luck on the inspection and enjoy putting some miles on the 57 before the weather turns! 😎
There should be a vent on top of the trans, it may be plugged causing the trans to loose it's juice when it heats up. too if you have a trans cooler in front of the radiator if the lines are not attached correctly it will allow the fluid to leak.
A huge shout out from Vancouver Canada , great job on the floor and AMAZING BUILD . Good luck with the inspection . I can’t wait to see the Nova get some work done to her . Cheers .
Excellent work getting the 57 back together. You did it in record time if you ask me! Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming our way please. I hope you will be doing more on the Nova soon.
I had the same issue with my th350. The fluid would drain back to the pan after a few days and leak. Ended up my kickdown cable was cracked close to the trans. And new oem type cable and no more leaks. The after market cables are junk. Those axle bearing/seals can be a hit or miss the seals can leak. Took me two of them before I found one that didn't. I cut the old bearing and lock ring off with a cutoff wheel. Then had a local shop press the new one on.
Man your a natural if anyone ever was I love this stuff IV been busy with 2 jobs and raising 2 boys for a long time one's in the army now and the other one will be going soon maybe I will be able and can afford to get back in it soon keep up the videos it takes the edge off 👍
Floor looks great, cleaning up the shop can make working on things that much more easy ! WOW 6 weeks to build, maybe after each build you clean up a little more, maybe move things to the bacement that you will not be needing right now, great job!!
Hold the axle by the flange and slam the spline end on your clean floor and the bearing should drop off,its the little ring that holds the bearing in place
or grind the bearing retainer off, smash the bearing race off with a ball peen, then use cold chisel to pop the inner bearing race off axle ..didi thousands of them in the shop
The floor looks good! The 57 is looking great to bad you're have to put it away for winter 😔 . She loves driving the 57 that's cool ! When I built Melanie's 85 F-150 for her she enjoyed it went everywhere in it. That's what I miss about living in Texas could drive older car's year around . Well I'll be looking for your next video keep up the good work. 😎
Hey man don't forget your license plate bracket lol. Love those 55-57 Chevy I had 6 - 55s and one 57 they are sweet to work on miss mine mite get another you never know. Garage floor looks great. Good job
Getting to look like the old AMACO station I worked at in 1973, all the guys came in filling their tanks for 6 bucks ..........epic build and next thing is the interior and the chome bezels that go on the dash buy the radio..looks naked without them....................and a basic RADIO??SWEEEET!
Glad to see the 57 is cruising! It’s motivating me to get our 55 finished, but I’m mid install on vintage air and a new wiring harness all throughout so it’s kicking my tail 💀 love the content man, keep it up! And the garage being clean looks good 👍🏼
I missed a bit as my computer bit the dust but "I'm back" as Johnny said! Would be nice if you even used pressed board for a headliner as no headline detracts but proud of You just the same. Would be nice if you could find the all so rare electric motor for the wiper as well. I think that one of the aftermarket outfits would be able to hook you up as it is strat bolt on. Great project Double D
Great job, love your cars, I took all the fluorescents out of my garage and wired sockets for LEDs lu t it up like daylight! Thanks, looking forward to more good stuff.
Just realized where your from! Awesome build brother and will maybe see you guys on cruise night or at an event in the future. I have to finish mine first! 1952 Chevy Styleline, my first car build and what a blast it has been! Keep up the awesome work.
Hopefully heading into the city for my rear end right away wrecker just called back! Turns out explorer rears with limited slip are hard to come by lol
Well done Dan! Always fun tinkering on those old girls. Enjoy the fruits of your labours. ...oh ya..the floor looks kickass!! Lol Cheers from Saskatchewan
Cheers for the vids, I’ve owned a camera shop for 20 years, yes very hard days some time, great to hang with you and share your journey, take it easy man. Peace
NAPA sells the square axle gaskets and outer O ring bearing seals. Got a chrome 57 Chevy rear end in my 51 Willys wagon. Another big leak on the turbo 350 in that area is the intermediate clutch piston cover. The piston spring snaps making it leak. keep the videos coming and get ready for 6 months of winter.
Looking good , sounds good, floors look good for now lol. I've been under the dash on mine for three days traceing wires. I dont need a electrician i need a chiropractor. Haha
As always exc video! My favorite u tuber for sure. Love seeing all your cars sitting in the driveway. Just looks awesome. Brings me back to when I had a bunch of hot rods. You should find a old truck to do. Use for parts runner. Tell the misses .high for me can't wait for next video
No to the torch. set your axle up really solidly supported. You can cut a grove in your old bearing with a grinder or a Dremel. Then with the axle SOLIDLY supported ,grab your best cold chisel and a good sized hammer and go at the bearing. it WILL split,,remove and replace
@@DDSpeedShop let's start a DANI needs an INTERIOR FIX for the 57 and see how many $$$$$ you get, have her do an in depth walk around on the 57 with her describing her wants and needs for the coming season.MAKE IT FUNNY AND HAPPY!!!!
He'll of a good job turned out nice what is next big block chevelle sounds like good project but what ever you do sure it will be great hope your garage is heated so you can do winter projects big thumbs up like what you do
Hey Hey ..Great looking floor ..clean and tidy!! However you're cars are greater looking hahaha..great color combo on the 57 ..looking better and better ...plus you saved it and back on the road in service !.. awsome ride you put back together for you're girlfriend...do you need wipers n blades for the 57 ? ( I have a pair ). Great channel and content . Always looking forward to a new video. / T
Hey bud, It's amazing how much room you have with the shop clean, but the question is for how long. Those old rear ends are so easy to work on, and the nice part is you don't have to open up the pumpkin to do it. It must feel great to have the 57 done before winter. Very cool. So have you figured out what's next and wheres that big block going? Good luck - I say - oh never mind. lol - later
You did a great job cleaning the floor place looks good like that you got the 57 running still think it looks better in a wagon but that’s me keep up the great work if you go near the Chevelle or you go near the nova you won’t hear from junkman do I’m signing off till you get some old vintage around my age you can go 6263 Chevy wagon ride be really excited but do you go 6970 7273 exit I’m off to the moon take care junkman do
I had a auto in one of my racecars it would it would pick its guess out like that after couples days setting finally figured it out the vent tube on top was plug .floor look good for awhile lol
I saw someone freeze the bearing so it would slide on but can't remember how they froze them, I think they just used their kitchen freezer for 24 hrs. I might be wrong.
Hey, your garage is YOUR garage. How you keep it is YOUR business...That being said, your garage cleaned up great. Great to see the '57 coming along. Too bad about that wiper motor. Just a question here. NOT criticism. The bare metal showing on the '57. Is it clear coated? The snow and salt weather will go to town on it. Just asking. Great video!!! Good job with the '57...
I bought a 57 Pontiac Hearse parts car many years ago. It had an electric wiper motor, and I put it in my 53 Pontiac. It bolted in the place where the original vacuum wiper motor was, but I had to lower the left side horn to give room for the electric motor. It's still set up like that and working fine.
