This is such a cool trick! I have never seen this before. I had to actually rewind the first time i saw the thumbnail. I thought there was something wrong and you would fix it. This looks super cool! Thank you for teaching us!
Thanks for sharing. Side note for those watching, this won't work on your rear axles. But with skirts you don't see it so it's perfect for old lead sleds and things with skirts. Great idea!
Hmm... I like it 👍. Just make sure you get the metal shavings out of the bearing grease and seal up that dust cap if you plan on driving it. Beautiful car.
Да! И ещё один маленький секрет - сначала накручиваем гайку ,затем отрезаем шпильку с резьбой и затем гайку снимаем.Заход на резьбу восстановлен! Это чтобы не мучаться с напильником.
You really think he's that goddamn stupid, gimme a break. Always someone like you out there. It's a video showing how to give the illusion that the brakes are locked 🔒 up ...
Love it, and the "ratchet shaped hammer"! It's a very useful tool for multitasking 🤓 It looks like the front brakes/or hubs are locked and you're just pushing them along. Trippy and cool. Nice car by the way!
the first time I ever saw spinner rims had a very similar feel. the guy had weighted the spinners on one side so the wouldn't turn. I looked over and this rusty suburban with massive chrome rims was coming across the parking lot, but at the time I looked he was crossing a puddle, and the rims where not spinning so I thought he somehow managed to hydroplane at 25 mph, it took my brain a second to figure out what was actually going on.
Nicely done, VERY slick! It took me a minute to realize that the threaded rods were REMOVED from those welded nuts on your wheelcovers, thus giving you a "treaded hole" in which your "threaded spindle rod" could now fit into. Again, VERY cool, great commentary and a NICELY done video! Lastly, your method for finding those wheelcover centers was ingenious. 😎😎😎 I enjoyed your video very much!
I like the idea , thoigh gundtilling the end of the spindle can weaken it , you cann have someone custom make a new cap style nut thats longer and has the tread at the end fur the alltread amd a few hole crossdrilled for the cotterpin might need a differen dustcover for it thosugh or make the nut so it doubles as a dustcover too
Nice! Thanks for the show. May I suggest another possible M.O.? A "hat" fastened to wheel/hub/rotor/drum by whatever method makes sense. Possibly the hat "sandwiched" under lug nuts to retain the hat? Center a small sealed bearing on the hat. Fasten the wheel cover to the hat's bearing. The wheel cover may require a bit of weight at its bottom to keep it from walking. This hat-bearing method would work on drive axles also.
Great look, not real sure about 3/8" threaded hole down the center of a 3/4 unf wheel bearing retainer thread though. Also a lot of weight hanging from the stud, if you hit a bit of a bump. But I suppose with the big Xplys it isnt an issue.
I remember a Plymouth fury @street rod Nats east in York Pa called the slider, it had the same thing I thought it was very cool and I always wondered how it was possible
So the nut welded on the hubcap goes on the threaded rod tapped into the wheel hub/axle which spins. So it's not clear how the hubcap couldn't possibly spin unless it falls off.
@@RetroRidesRendezvous-us5mc yeah I always noticed little things in videos but it could have been anything but it looked to me like it was loose I don't know
That's real neat , but I wonder if here in Western Australia, it's illegal. Because of drilling the axle. My son had trouble because the rear seat was out. Reason...seat belts were in place and there were bolt holes for the seat. The fact the seat wasn't there wasn't the problem it was the bolt holes for the seat didn't have bolts in them.
@smiddysmidton8313 WA is bloody terrible. Today, I got a power pole defect notice recommending replacing. So I called. They said it " Recommends " not must. It has some surface rust staining.
Cool video, very well done. You may want to reconsider re-using a cotter pin. They are usually considered single use items. They can become brittle and crack after being bent on installation, bent again when removed, and bent a third time if re-used. Using a new cotter key might be the way to go.
The most important invention in the history of mankind.
Right. 🙄
I really like the floating look..perfect for this sled!!

This is one of my all-time favorite Kustom mods. It’s just an awesome look.

This is true. I can't even fit hubcaps on mine. Barely see the rim anyway. Thanks!
OK, now that's a cool idea! Thanks - Bob's Rods
Thanks!
I’m speechless….. beautiful is the only word
@@squarecircleCo Thanks!
Whoa, I would LOVE to do something like this to my clapped out Ranger! I can picture all the WTF looks floating down the highway
ratchet shaped hammer my favorite tool

Yeah, awesome idea but needs a seal to be waterproof in case you get caught by a surprise rain, or just to keep ambient moist air out.

That's a very fine idea and a cheap way 4 an awesome look. Great job on it and the video.
Love it! Absolutely perfect for this sweet ride! Good stuff!

Beautiful shoebox. Well done vid. What front clip on the car?
That's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!
1:40 what a nifty little trick to find the center point!
In the 50’s they didn’t move when you did, in the 2000’s they move when you don’t.
I love the comment lol and SAD BUT TRUE about the vehicles that they try to sell you these days.
I kinda dig it, this sorta stuff was on the “dream cars” of the 50s. So it fits.

Bullshit, you don't know shit from shinola ... bless your heart
Bro, that’s dope. Love the color of your car too.
Very cool and awesome car!!!
Love seeing stuff like this 🤘🏼 subscribed!!!
Cool but I would forever worry about snapping a spindle nut off on the most inopportune corner.
Nice!
Thanks for the show.

Center a small sealed bearing on the hat. Fasten the wheel cover to the hat's bearing.
The wheel cover may require a bit of weight at its bottom to keep it from walking.
This hat-bearing method would work on drive axles also.
@@johne189 I thought about doing something like that. Maybe on the next car. Interesting idea. Thanks!
Very nice, great looking ride bro, love the wide whites 👌
@@kerrypierre9494 Thanks!
Amazing!!!
I don’t have any other words.
@@Ollieco83 Thanks!
That’s pretty cool! Nice video, keep them coming 👍
Looks "Low Rider Latino". Worthless!!
I always wanted to know how it was done.
Thank you for sharing
I love classic cars!
Beautiful car 😍😍😍😍

That thing is absolutely hilarious!
Buddy this is slick!!
I'm doing this to my 50 fleetline ASAP. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful car
wild! great looking custom too.
do you have a link for that ratchet-shaped hammer?
I love when those Donks have the huge like 30" floating chromies.
🎶Oh Maybelline... Why can't you be true🎶
Oh so that's how it's done. One question, do you worry about them flying off? Cool Ford you have 👍
@@I.Live4oldcars.prospecting Thanks. Nope, not worried at all!
That's trippy shit right there!!! Great idea, made me think for a sec, how did he do that?! Definitely a mind FK 😊 very cool!
. . . Makes it look even slower .
@@patsmith6867 it’s pretty slow for sure lol
i think you need a blind hole tap, or a normal (cheap) tap with the tapered tip cut off.
That is awesome 👌 👏 looks sick man
Great look, not real sure about 3/8" threaded hole down the center of a 3/4 unf wheel bearing retainer thread though. Also a lot of weight hanging from the stud, if you hit a bit of a bump. But I suppose with the big Xplys it isnt an issue.
great affect 👍 thank you ⭐️
thats freaking awesome !
Awesomely done.
Very cool... always wondered how they did that.
Thanks!
IMHO, it looks kinda stupid. Sorta like the ghetto free spinning covers. To each his own tho.
@@TheodoreCross-d7b 😅 You have to be on your own to think this looks stupid 😂
I LOVE IT!👍🏻🇺🇸
Very ingenious idea 💡,I had to subscribe to your channel.
@@robertgooden2346 Thanks!
I like it.
Super dope.
So cool. It makes you think the tire isn't rotating either!
Great idea !
Looks great
What kind of tires are those? I didn't know they made new "old fashioned" tires
@@joegartner7736 They are Diamond Back Auburn radials. Yep, they are made to have the old look.
Should mention to have short valve stem on wheel for clearance.
Yes, mine weren't really short but they cleared. Any longer and I would have hade to deal with that too.
"I swear, it looked like he came to a complete stop!"
Would've used a reverse threaded threadstock to prevent unthreading, however the overall effect is cool.
So rad!!!
Very cool great vid!!! 🤜🤛
Wow! That’s awesome
PERFECT 🤙🤙
Well done. Subscribed
I remember a Plymouth fury @street rod Nats east in York Pa called the slider, it had the same thing I thought it was very cool and I always wondered how it was possible
Bad ass!! Was this something that was done back in the day as well?
I'm not sure. I would think they came up with stuff like this.
I'd always wondered how this was done. 👍
Superb - eat your heart hour Donk car and RR Phantom owners!
That is wild.
Yup. That's slick.
I would expect the spindles to be hardened steel and extremely difficult to drill or tap. I guess not.
So the nut welded on the hubcap goes on the threaded rod tapped into the wheel hub/axle which spins. So it's not clear how the hubcap couldn't possibly spin unless it falls off.
@@dpk9993 It can’t spin because it’s threaded into the rod attached to the spindle and tightened against the spacers. I also used some lock tight.
Do you have a bad ball joint or tie rod end that hub is moving all over the place when you're tapping it
No, it's all pretty new. Although I will be installing a different tie rod setup soon. Maybe camera shake?
@@RetroRidesRendezvous-us5mc it was weird did you look when you were tapping it it looks like that wheel assembly was loose or something
@@TheOriginalAndysGarage Thanks. I'll be back under there shortly and make sure everything is tight. I appreciate it.
@@RetroRidesRendezvous-us5mc yeah I always noticed little things in videos but it could have been anything but it looked to me like it was loose I don't know
Sweet
That's cool! 👍

My son had trouble because the rear seat was out.
Reason...seat belts were in place and there were bolt holes for the seat. The fact the seat wasn't there wasn't the problem it was the bolt holes for the seat didn't have bolts in them.
You could guarantee it would be illegal in nanny Australia! Everything is.

So I called. They said it " Recommends " not must. It has some surface rust staining.
I don't know if it's legal here but I do know of a Hudson and a single spinner here in Vic that both have floating hub caps
I didn't know this was a thing.
That’s bad ass
Nice. I highly recommend buy a crescent hammer.
I have one! I think it's with my screwdriver shaped chisel.
@@RetroRidesRendezvous-us5mc 🤣
Every tool is also a hammer.
Someone showed you the dark arts.
What's your tire size?
They are 670R15 Diamond Back Auburn Tires
@@RetroRidesRendezvous-us5mc
thank you
Nice. No half-assery here.
Only if the car was whisper quiet it would look like it was floating on air.
Like an EV
Cool!
DUB wheels would be proud
What he did will not diminish the safety of the car. My first thought was that the brakes were locked 🔒 up 5☆☆☆☆☆
How do you keep the grease in ? Now there’s a hole in the cap
Well, that’s just a dust cover. Doesn’t keep the grease in. Just keeps the dust out. Still mostly covered from dust.
Not sure I'd want the end of my spindle hollowed out. Cool effect though.
How about the valve stems ?
Luckily, mine were not so long as to hit the cover.
Where did you find your ‘’lucky’’ valve stems? @@RetroRidesRendezvous-us5mc
AWESOME !!!
Luv da

Cool video, very well done. You may want to reconsider re-using a cotter pin. They are usually considered single use items. They can become brittle and crack after being bent on installation, bent again when removed, and bent a third time if re-used. Using a new cotter key might be the way to go.
Thanks, good idea. I'll replace when I put the new tie rods on in a couple weeks.
I bend new cotter pins a few times before I install them just to break em in
I ALWAYS replace mine( with a finish nail).
Old school sprewells
That’s sic!
