I watched a show where the person that bought Lead Sled, wanted to take to the Power Tour so, He took it to a shop the get it ready to do the tour. The guys at the shop had nothing good to say about the work on Lead Sled, they said the headlights were held in with zip ties!!!!!
An impact is the best way to install a flywheel and clutch. Torque wrenches are for suckers.
Somebody bought that car and it was not finished, no glass headlights wired in to hold them and a lot of other things, but he still loved it and it is badass. It just was a tv car,I would have loved to have it.
Nice
Project blue hair should be given to Lou for the BS he had to go through while working there
"She's real swine, my four oh nine."
So did you guys give up on this build?
Glad you used a manual gear box auto is boring to me.
Is that the one that just sold for 68000 dollars?
what happened to RED SLED?? I want to see the final result!
2008 haha no wonder the parts sounded so cheap
I Love This Channel ❤️👍
So what happened to Brent in the following seasons?
Well where are the rest of the videos?
I wish I would have known you need inner fender wells, I have a beautiful pair sitting in shop, that I would have donated.
Brent sounds like Mr. Mackey from South Park. M'kay?
You guys are really good ..just found you and subscribed
To me. Early muscle cars. Restored to bone stock orginal. Is the best example.
Hey guys! You make it look so easy! I guess when you have a shop with all the equipment it helps. I have a 63 Impala SS Convertible which is an original 409/ Duel Quad/ 4 Speed and posi. rear. I used to race at the old NEW YORK NATIONAL-SPEEDWAY, back in the late 1970's. Broke a lot of things, but had fun doing it! She has been sitting for quite some time (25yrs.) while under a tarp. There is no motor in it, just don't have the money to put her back together. It would be nice if you guys wanted to do a show rebuilding my car.I have a lot of the original parts.
Air ride is the pumpkin spice of the automotive world. SHIT!
This video was posted in 2020. This morning I found a video from 2011 from a shop that took this car in to "fix" it to make it road worthy, and another video where it was displayed at the 2013 SEMA show. I know they did some excellent body work on this thing, but there is a disconnect from a car built for a show and reality. Ty-rapping the headlights in? Having to fix the rear suspension? This show has lost some of it's luster for me.
Somebody should let you know it’s bout 40 years past the sideburn trendy look 👀
Infamous like notorious are derogatory terms , a negative it's the opposite of famous.
Love the rebuild of the 61 Impala. I fail to understand the excitement of smoking a pair of tires at $300 a pop in a 45 second burnout. It seems like something a 14 year old mind would like.
Since it’s a built car, I would have dropped in a 5 speed in case your on the highway.
It would be cool if they did a 69 chevelle like they did the red sled
So what happens if you slam it down while the wheels are turned?
Also, I’m a gear head and love speed and muscle cars. But the burnout competition and general burnouts in general are si damned lame. I can lock up the front wheels on my golf cart and eventually make smoke. What’s the draw?
dont know how old this is but you c an buy the right inter fenders
Awesome informative Video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
Never understood the appeal of burnouts like that, just a waste of tires and not fun to watch. But that's just my opinion. To each his own.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU_fApHedeA Here is the car later.
where is the finished 1961 IMpala video??
Does anybody noticed they are building double inner fenders?
Australia says your burnout comp @15:49 is not a burnout comp. Please learn to do skids.
I am specnlees ,you guys are amzing
What type of primer was that the rusty fender primer?
Quit putting ghetto rims and balogna skin tires on muscle and antique cars and trucks
You have to break in the header gaskets run the engine then let it cool completely then check and tighten the header bolts. The gasket compresses even more after heated
