Hey Don thanks! The 55 drives so much better now The trottle is working so smooth. I guess I should have put a cable on in the first place. Just trying to keep her old school.

I like it i had the same problem using the dual carbs for the blower. Decided to purchase a dual linkage that had all the necessary brackets and linkage to stay mechanical. But I thought whether a used cable or linkage it needed to work as good as the brakes and look clean. Sometimes the cable is the only choice I Like It 😁
Hey Eddie you right about that needs to work as good as the brakes. She is so much easier to drive now I did like the rod style better but that one didn't work as good as I thought it would. I'll probably try building another one some day but for now she gets a cable lol. Thanks for stopping in brother hope is well. Take it easy👍👍👍
Thanks brother! Man she drives so much easier now. I tried and tried with that rod Just wouldn't work as smooth as I would like. That's hotroding if we don't like it we can just change it up lol. I'll probably try making another one someday😁. Have a great night man👍👍👍
Hahaha I know right😁. I have to look away when I see those LS engines lol I might want one some day. Thanks for stopping in brother hope all is well with you and the family. Take care man👍👍👍
Hey thanks! Yeah I just couldn't get the old school rod style to work smooth as I would like. So she gets a cable works so much better now and way easier to drive. It's a good setup would put the same style if I build something else. Thanks for watching Take it easy brother👍👍👍
Great work as usual. That throttle cable seems to have fixed your issue. Enjoy the cruising around in the '55. BBC sounds really nice. Be safe and stay well.
Hey Brian thanks. She drives so much easier now it was a great fix. Maybe I should have put a cable on in the first place lol Just was trying to keep that old school look. I'll probably try building something different again one day. Thanks for stopping in I appreciate it. Take it easy out there say safe👍👍👍
Hey brother! Man she drives so much easier now. Much easier on my clutch to don't want that burning up just yet lol. Hope all is well man! Take care👍👍👍

Really happy for you Chris, looks like you got the gas pedal working much better, it's the little things that keep us up at night, i was a bug killer too on that ride from Boise to Sunland with the new truck, maybe you can give me a tip for hard water, got to keep them bugs off that chrome, lol, great video Chris, i'll be back in EW in three weeks, i have a couple things planed for the 55, can't wait, talk to you real soon buddy
Hey Mike thanks! The ole 55 drives so much easier now it was a good fix this time. Not to sure about the hard water lol if you go fast enough the bugs will just blow right over lol. Looking forward to seeing what you got going on. You take care brother be safe over there👍👍👍
Hey William thanks! Man it drives so much better now was a good change. I love that little mini 55😁 sure is cool. Thanks for watching and the comment. Have a good one👍👍👍
Hey Ben I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one lol. She drives so much easier now Was a great fix. Thanks for the comment and watching have a great night out there👍👍👍
I like the cable as your best choice.Nice installation job too one less thing to worry about . Have you thought about painting it maybe a satin black or grey??? I know I asked you not too long ago, Ha! Still to early I guess for you to make that decision. Only bad thing is that real cool model would be obsolete if you did ,LOLL!
Hey Glenn she drives so much easier now. I guess I should have put a cable on in the first place lol but I still like the look of the rod better I just might try it again one day😁 just to keep the old school look. No paint yet I'm enjoying not having to worry about it it's been so nice. Maybe one day panel paint job if I do paint it. Hope all is well have a great rest of the day👍👍👍 Back to work for me lol
@@IronheadGarage Yeah for years I had a hard gas pedal had the wrong spring way to heavy. Finally about 5 years back I went and got a lighter tension spring and so much nicer. I guess a hard gas pedal is alright when your younger not for an older guy, LOL! with me. Yeah hard and then softer or binding is annoying I would imagine.I get it on the mechanical look im sure your good for awhile with that cable install looks like a well made kit too...... catch you later Chris take care...
Hey Mike! Man it works so much better. I guess I should have done it in the first place lol but that's hotroding. The big 55 and little 55 are getting along great😁 l love that little 55 so does everyone I have showed it to. Thanks you so much brother. Hope all is well take it easy man👍👍👍
I haven't seen you for awhile the old 55 is looking good love the car. Would love to find a solid roller for my big block. A guy my brother works with st a body shop in Alabama had a really nice black 55 show car he has had along time he had the car at his parents house in the garage and 4 guys pulled up with a flat bed wrecker and they rolled the car out and the lady next door even came out her house and they told her they came to pick the car up for Mike sò she thought they were friends of his they stole the 55 and his dad's impala and cleaned the house out the dad has been in a nursing home. Poor guy I know he has to be sick losing his car like that. Have a great weekend your friend from Louisiana Rick 427
Hey Rick thanks! Just been busy. I just switched jobs I've worked over 20+ years framing houses to running a skider in the woods lol she is a beast😁 pretty fun! and just been enjoying the summer with the old 55. Been taking it to a few car shows. I actually have a video I'm going to put up tonight are tomorrow its the farthest I've taken it around 110 mile round trip. Ran really good the only thing that Went wrong was my carb scoop got a little loose and started to turn a little. So i Just pulled over and straightened it up. That's the only thing that Went wrong so I was pretty happy with it. She's a great old 55 I'll get back to working in it this coming winter when it gets to cold up here to drive it around. Man! That's crazy someone would come and steal those cars right from the house what balls they have. That's so sad some people are no good for nothing Dam thefts. Hopefully they find out who did it. Thanks for the comment and Hope all is well with you and yours. Have a great weekend your self your friend Chris Take it easy👍👍👍
Hey Dave you know I didn't I just might have to try it one day. That upper hole is 1/2 so would have to make a bushing for it. I would rather have the rod then a cable. I'll run the cable for now it drives so much better Now. Thanks for watching and the idea take it easy brother👍👍👍
Hey Steve thanks. Man it works so smooth now and drives so much better. I got it of eBay as a kit it's made by gearhead was around 85 bucks. A Pretty good deal Good luck finding one. Thanks for watching take it easy brother👍👍👍
Hey Herb I got that at Ace hardware. They sell a bunch of different sizes of bar it was like ten bucks for a 4ft stick I used 3/8. Thanks for stopping in brother take it easy👍👍👍
Hey Bill I bought that one on eBay it's a copy of a Lokar one but a hell of a lot cheaper. It's been a couple years but still working great. I did find a link to one it's just like what I got but it's aluminum color. Check it out if you want it's on eBay. Here's the link. www.ebay.com/itm/362369406572?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3pF9w1dxSTy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=MDHWGNouRri&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Good luck with yours thanks for watching have a good one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey brother I got it off eBay Just look up gas pedal and cable kit for 55 to 57 chevy. Was a bunch on there it was like 90 bucks. Good luck man and thanks for watching. Have a great 4th👍👍👍
Hey thanks brother! She drives so much better now. I don't think she minds the bug lol she eats them up!😁Thanks for stopping in I appreciate it. Have a great night man👍👍👍
Just out of curiosity what was the hours put into this. I have a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air for years off and on the gas pedal has been driving itself while in park or if I take my foot off the brake pedal. I have a guy looking into it as I am not familiar with working on cars. I saw online pedal kits go for like $30.00 depending on the type. Nice 1955!!
Hey thanks! Cool to hear you have a 55 too that's awesome. Funny you mention the gas pedal I actually just ordered the same style cable for my 29 model A im working on now. I think it was around 30 bucks without the pedal. It probably took me a couple of hours to install that pedal and cable. Not a hard job to do. Just make sure you don't buy one of those plastic pedals make sure it's metal. Lot of really cheap knock off ones being sold out there. Hope you get your old 55 figured out Don't need it trying to drive itself lol. Thanks for watching appreciate it have a great night. Take care 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you got the 8 track tapes and decal I sent. Thanks for the mention in your video. The car on the sticker is a '50 Chevy which is what my current hot rod is. I did a burnout video today and am sharing it with you so you can see what I have. Not as cool as your gasser '55 but I still like it. :) >> ruclips.net/video/LOxOkzfT_zU/видео.html
Hey Paul! Right on! its your car that's to cool I'll definitely check the video out for sure. The sticker is really cool I love it always have liked those old chevys. Thanks again for everything I really appreciate it. I'm going to go watch the video😁 I'll sub you channel to. Hope all is well take it easy brother👍👍👍
Cool deal I bet it’s a lot smoother driving. That Dr Pepper looks safe and sound!
Hey Rick! Man she drives so much better now. Should have done one in the first place. But you never know I'll probably try a rod again one day. You can't brake a rod but those cables will brake lol. Hope all is well have a great night brother👍👍👍

Hey Sonny thanks.
Man she drives so much better with the cable now nice and smooth.
I would rather have the old school rod but maybe one day I can get it to work better. Hope I can help in anyway brother you take care man and be safe over there👍👍👍
I like it i had the same problem using the dual carbs for the blower. Decided to purchase a dual linkage that had all the necessary brackets and linkage to stay mechanical. But I thought whether a used cable or linkage it needed to work as good as the brakes and look clean. Sometimes the cable is the only choice I Like It 😁
Hey Eddie you right about that needs to work as good as the brakes. She is
so much easier to drive now I did like the rod style better but that one didn't work as good as I thought it would. I'll probably try building another one some day but for now she gets a cable lol.
Thanks for stopping in brother hope is well.
Take it easy👍👍👍
I would copy the enderle linkage or buy what they have. They make them for side pull or forward/ back. The 55 looks great either way 👌
Thanks! I'll have to try to find what your talking about.
Don't know of it
GREAT JOB BUDDY!! SHE JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!!
Thanks brother! Man she drives so much easier now.
I tried and tried with that rod
Just wouldn't work as smooth as I would like.
That's hotroding if we don't like it we can just change it up lol. I'll probably try making another one someday😁.
Have a great night man👍👍👍
Be careful boss, you're gonna start to like that new school stuff😉 looks good. -later
Hahaha I know right😁.
I have to look away when I see those LS engines lol
I might want one some day.
Thanks for stopping in brother hope all is well with you and the family. Take care man👍👍👍
Nice work with the pedal. I’m not real happy with my setup. Now I have some inspiration to take another look now that I’ve seen yours. Thank you!
Hey thanks! Yeah I just couldn't get the old school rod style to work smooth as I would like. So she gets a cable works so much better now and way easier to drive.
It's a good setup would put the same style if I build something else.
Thanks for watching
Take it easy brother👍👍👍

I haven't seen you for awhile the old 55 is looking good love the car. Would love to find a solid roller for my big block. A guy my brother works with st a body shop in Alabama had a really nice black 55 show car he has had along time he had the car at his parents house in the garage and 4 guys pulled up with a flat bed wrecker and they rolled the car out and the lady next door even came out her house and they told her they came to pick the car up for Mike sò she thought they were friends of his they stole the 55 and his dad's impala and cleaned the house out the dad has been in a nursing home. Poor guy I know he has to be sick losing his car like that. Have a great weekend your friend from Louisiana Rick 427
Hey Rick thanks! Just been busy. I just switched jobs I've worked over 20+ years framing houses to running a skider in the woods lol she is a beast😁 pretty fun! and just been enjoying the summer with the old 55. Been taking it to a few car shows. I actually have a video I'm going to put up tonight are tomorrow its the farthest I've taken it around 110 mile round trip.
Ran really good the only thing that Went wrong was my carb scoop got a little loose and started to turn a little. So i Just pulled over and straightened it up.
That's the only thing that Went wrong so I was pretty happy with it. She's a great old 55 I'll get back to working in it this coming winter when it gets to cold up here to drive it around.
Man! That's crazy someone would come and steal those cars right from the house what balls they have.
That's so sad some people are no good for nothing
Dam thefts.
Hopefully they find out who did it.
Thanks for the comment and Hope all is well with you and yours.
Have a great weekend your self your friend Chris
Take it easy👍👍👍
Have you tried the top hole on the carb linkage with the old set up
Hey Dave you know I didn't
I just might have to try it one day. That upper hole is 1/2 so would have to make a bushing for it. I would rather have the rod then a cable. I'll run the cable for now it drives so much better
Now. Thanks for watching and the idea take it easy brother👍👍👍
looks good. seems to work well. Can you tell me where you bought everything from?
Hey Steve thanks. Man it works so smooth now and drives so much better.
I got it of eBay as a kit it's made by gearhead was around 85 bucks.
A Pretty good deal

What pedal and cable product did you use. I’m looking for that set up myself.
Hey Bill I bought that one on eBay it's a copy of a Lokar one but a hell of a lot cheaper. It's been a couple years but still working great. I did find a link to one it's just like what I got but it's aluminum color. Check it out if you want it's on eBay. Here's the link.

Good luck with yours thanks for watching have a good one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
O yeah and the bracket that holds the cable on the carb you can find those at like O'Reilly's or something
Where did you buy that pedal. Looking for one for dads 57 chevy.
Hey brother I got it off eBay
Just look up gas pedal and cable kit for 55 to 57 chevy.
Was a bunch on there it was like 90 bucks. Good luck man and thanks for watching.
Have a great 4th👍👍👍
@@IronheadGarage thankyou. Lets do burnouts for 4th july.
Good to see you been putting some miles on and some bugs in her teeth. They are built to drive!
Hey thanks brother!
She drives so much better now. I don't think she minds the bug lol she eats them up!😁Thanks for stopping in I appreciate it. Have a great night man👍👍👍
Just out of curiosity what was the hours put into this. I have a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air for years off and on the gas pedal has been driving itself while in park or if I take my foot off the brake pedal. I have a guy looking into it as I am not familiar with working on cars. I saw online pedal kits go for like $30.00 depending on the type. Nice 1955!!
Hey thanks! Cool to hear you have a 55 too that's awesome.
Funny you mention the gas pedal I actually just ordered the same style cable for my 29 model A im working on now. I think it was around 30 bucks without the pedal.
It probably took me a couple of hours to install that pedal and cable.
Not a hard job to do.
Just make sure you don't buy one of those plastic pedals make sure it's metal. Lot of really cheap knock off ones being sold out there.
Hope you get your old 55 figured out
Don't need it trying to drive itself lol.
Thanks for watching appreciate it have a great night.
Take care 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@IronheadGarage Thanks for the advice!
No problem 👍🏻
Glad you got the 8 track tapes and decal I sent. Thanks for the mention in your video. The car on the sticker is a '50 Chevy which is what my current hot rod is. I did a burnout video today and am sharing it with you so you can see what I have. Not as cool as your gasser '55 but I still like it. :) >> ruclips.net/video/LOxOkzfT_zU/видео.html
