    Driveability over looks and built to Mike Bello's standard makes both a driveable and badass lookin ride. This owner needs you to rebuild the rear suspension.

    Welcome to "Church Sunday" with the Good Reverend Bello. Preaching the suspension gospel to todo los locochones! And on the eighth day the good lord created Kustoms!
    Great Job Mike...you don't know it, but you may have saved many a backyard engineer from themselves!
    Fabrication is.more about should we do it and less about could we do it!

    Thanks Mike for explaining the front end how the geometry work's with the air ride. So when mine's gets done I'll know not to mess around with a bunch of old parts because I'm one of those guy's that use my vehicles for everyday driving. That's why I don't have new paint job's on any of my car's.
    I had new painted car it was like a magnet every thing flicked or wanted to sit, lay, bump on it. I kept the wheels tires and windows clean clean!

    I've even seen IFS on fenderless roadsters . It takes a minute to get used to the look , but there's no more bump steer or side to side rocking that's so common to dropped axle cars . Couple that with a 4 link rear ...they drive like brand new cars . Only with good handling and good brakes . Top notch shop doing top notch work .

    Hey Mike and crew at Bellos kustoms. Yeah, why build a car if you cant rip up the road and enjoy it. You just gonna look at it? Moving the coil up top is just practical. A car that steers and handles and stops, what a concept. Now your customer is cruisin west side style. Thanks

    "Life Lessons" by Mike Bello. It's a good book! Plus, some cameos of Metal Shop Teacher Mr. Bello! 😂 (Mike's really honestly good at teaching tho!)
    They did a good job before, but what Mike does here is the difference between good and excellent!
    He didn't just fix the suspension, he fixed everything!

    Ideally at ride height on a Mustang II suspension the lower arms should be parallel to the ground. An air bag has a specific ride height just like a spring and will give the best ride at that dimension

    @ratsrodsgarage461 5 месяцев назад +1

    Happy birthday. With cross steer up and down changes your tow so makes it go left and right with fast driving change makes car sway around road. With a rack steering up and down changes camber does not affect tow aka left and right it affects tire wear and traction. So at ride height tire has full contact with the road, if lowered the inside of tire tread has most contact if raised above set ride height the outside of tread has most contact.

    Outstanding job. Great explanation. I read a few negative comments from the last video, and since I dont have a straight axle on bags, I thought well maybe the client just wanted an upgrade. You fully explained what you fixed and how the geometry is so much better and how much greater lift you get out of the bags. I have a friend who has a 35 3 window coupe that you did this upgrade to. He says it drives like a new car and doesnt drag over bumps and driveway aprons. Keep up the great work

    Happy Anniversary of your Day of Birth, Mike!
    Since no one mentioned it, I'll try to explain the bondo on the frame. (I know you know this!)
    Not knowing the history of the car, I can only guess. But my personal experience with working on cars built for the show circut, when painting the frame, it's easier to fill/bondo the frame than try to work the complete frame to make it glass smooth. This is only for cars built for the show circut though.
    And the "limbo" you mention is toe-in/out.
