Those rims are ugly 😅
Is their another kit besides qa1?
That car is going to be a mean burn out machine with those tires. I’d gone with extreme contact sports at least.
Amazing how the TV networks are pushing for Camera's in the court room. The TV networks want to make a circus of the trial. Trump wants a circus to manipulate his trial.
Trump needs a fair trial in a court room not a circus to later cry how it was a circus and not a court room. No cameras. Also, put Trump on the stand under oath.
U guys are the sh$t.
Great show, have been watching since the shows started, how about some prices,from what I have seen on all these car shows is that price is no object and I can’t afford it but still good to watch.😊
Nice car. The "free" wheels look like food processor blades. Wouldn't be my choice but nobody cares what I think.
looks fantastic
6:04 The value of this vehicle just skyrocketed. 😁😁😁😊😊
Rebuild that 400sb H beam Rods AFR heads And intake 💯. Power Nation Rocks
Sorry I'm old skool. 15 in Cragers and a Big Block would have been nice 🇺🇸
I wish they would just release all the full builds and quit nickel and dimeing us.
It may have already been said but I’m surprised you didn’t box in the frame. Irregardless, I wouldn’t kick her out of my garage.
What is the update on the 71 caprice haven't seen anything 🤔
Where's the rest?
That is gonna be one cool looking ride, it’s really coming together nicely and can’t wait to see it in its final stages. Good job guys!
😍👍
I have a ‘71 Impala so am watching with very close attention. You web site is rather vague on part numbers. Just says available from Summit, more detail please. Love your show, but way out of price range for most backyard mechanics. How about some $1000 or less projects.
I,d say Mary you are Cougar material for a woman your age , careful buttering the corn , getting a tingle 😮❤
I love the suspension, steering and brake upgrades but, I am sorry, those wheels and tires suck! They are ugly! I know they are all the rage and will probably make it handle better but if it's ugly who cares. It's a land yacht so might as well let function follow form rather than the reverse. Oh well I guess I'll get back on my front porch and yell at the kids to get off of my lawn. BTW I can picture myself in the back seat and mom and dad are up front smoking cigarettes and dad has a can of beer between his legs and Johnny Cash is blasting over the AM radio.
With those big donuts on the back the frame rail arch seems to be close when the suspension is going to travel ?
The wheels look like a bad choice!They have a directional look to them one side looks ok the other not ok.
I laughed when Tom mentioned rusty holes at the body mounts, my AZ car had the rubber so bad IT fell through the body mount holes. LOL
A 71 is also a b body?
Well, the actual saying is “you can have it fast, you can have it good, and have it cheap, but you only get to pic two of them.”
please don't make it a donk💩
How much did that suspension cost?
i'm glad to see everybody starting to respect the donk game! donk master made it possible
Typical Powernation rework of an old car. Slam it to the ground and put wheels on it that are way too big and make it look like a cartoon car.
Great show guys love the no drama all car stuff and how to
