      You might not believe it but I met them at the gas station across from casa amigos here in Kentucky when they got that car. I remember talking to him and they said they were headed back to New York. That's wild odds. I was driving the c10 in my picture.

  • @guest6423
    @guest6423 7 месяцев назад +13

    Rule of thumb on thread engagement is 1.5 times the bolt diameter. 1/2" bolt would have 3/4" of thread engagement, minimum. 5 threads is likely good on smaller bolts, but if you imagine 5 threads on a 1.5" bolt, for instance, you'll see that it's barely engaged. It's a pretty good rule. Loving the show!

    • @hydrocarbon82
      @hydrocarbon82 7 месяцев назад +2

      However if you do the math, the first 3 threads carry the vast majority of the load. It's because there's less bolt stretch down the line. The reality is that 3 threads of those bolts would hold up the entire car.

    • @wjpreslar
      @wjpreslar 7 месяцев назад +1

      If that rule of thumb were completely accurate, then lug nuts would be much longer than most are. If you are looking for a better safe than sorry approach, then sure, but there is a reason engineers don't specify couplers over nuts. The 3 full threads of engagement rule of thumb is mathematically better.... And cleaner.

    Finally, some music that is not crazy loud metal that sounds like they are just screaming. Much better choice of music and the shots were cool when cutting off the old leaf spring mounts.

    Just realized it looks alarmingly similar to the Buick Finn and freiburger sort of swapped onto a c3 corvette chassis. Damn I miss free motor trend but this is way better.

      That Roadkill Buick was a disaster, a completely rusted out turd. Probably the biggest fail in Roadkill history.

    1:03:45 PNDLR - a lot of 50's cars had low-gear and reverse right next to each other so you could switch between the two and rock the car back and forth to get unstuck! My 59 caddy has the same shift pattern

    Just did an LS swap in a ‘56 Oldsmobile that sat for 48 years. Laughed so hard at the throttle wire through the firewall. I did the exact same thing to drive it the first time.

    Watching you guys makes me realize how much I don't know about mechanics. I grew up working on old nasty cars but I understand now how much (most) of them were just fine. My biggest issues were usually stalling at intersections and getting 8 MPG {62 Pontiac Bonneville, 63 Ford Galaxy, 64 Pontiac GTO, 61 Buick Skylark wagon}.
