Buddy of mine back in High school,,,left us over an axel sliding out on a curve over one those 10 bolt rearend c – clip failure…. I have ran many always thought about Rick Holmes over years…
I JUST TURNED 49 SEPTEMBER 1ST AND GOD WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO HAVE THAT CAR AND BE ABLE TO LOOK AT SOMEBODY AND SAY HEY MAN THOSE YEARS AREN'T OVER YET STAND BACK LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT HORSEPOWER IS ALL ABOUT
I enjoy watching these shows after doing mods on my car on my day off, while knocking back a few cold ones!✌✌👍👍👍🤛🤛🖖🖖🖖✝✝✝✝☮☮☮☮♥♥♥♥♥♥
Best thing about efi on a cold morning? You guessed it,…NO FAST IDLE WARM UP TO WORRY ABOUT, with a traditional carburetor…👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Nice how you don't explain how you converted to non staggered shocks…
"Thats how you do it from drum to disk" 👍
What’s the best place to order parts for a 98 trans am
Is that the original 6.6 ?
Why not rebuild the original block ?
Cars looking very nice my the winter enjoy it.
This show is very entertaining, and I don’t work on cars I’m a road and mountain bike mechanic but none the less I do find cars especially old cars very cool and intriguing also it’s very relaxing, these people are the real deal and they are extremely knowledgeable. Despite my knowledge of cars that doesn’t mean that I haven’t learned anything from the show. There’s plenty of things I’ve learned like painting and making sure you mask off areas and what grit to wet sand metal, and grits of 3M Scotch Brite pads are and what they are useful for depending on the application, as well as tools good for cutting metal and much more. Plus I love all the Powernation Staff but Joe and some of the older staff are the people that young people should look up to and can be great mentors. I especially as a young person I look to the older folks who have the wisdom and experience to teach me all that I need to know and so I can pass this same knowledge on to the next generation and so on and so forth. Love the show.
I didn't realize the conversion to disc brakes on my '78 TA could be done this easily.. I've been looking at over priced conversion kits and the few stock rear axles out there that have disc brakes like are on my '80 that people are parting out and want $400+ for.. I just need to figure out how to fabricate that aluminum piece!
I am doing the same conversation on my 78 Trans am. Great information here, however I see you mounted the driver's side caliper outboard. That placement will hit the driver's side shock. How did you overcome this? In addition, thanks again on the spacer specs, it is all that I lack to finish up this conversion. I will share what I did to overcome the staggered shocks in the rear once I hear from you.
My Dream Car would be a 69 Dodge charger
The wild uzbekistan enzymatically hug because george undeniably wreck beyond a lovely thursday. crowded, demonic door
boring to much talk.
Why would you put an automatic in the car
The old man sounds like he’s been wobble pops!!!!
Replacing the leaf springs with coilovers?
It’s beautiful
everything you guys are doing to this car is exactly what i wanna do to my 78. keeping this series saved for later when i hit those spots in my project. 🙂
A complete shop with every automotive tool know to man, plus a unlimited budget in an air conditioned garage. Try wrenching like most DIY laying on your back with a limited budget and tools, while freezing or sweating your ass off..
These guys are amazing – never a frown or a bad word!! I used to work as a mechanic and I was angry and swore all the time!
