I forgot to mention a lot of things to wire the neutral safety switch. I took the solenoid wire and cut it then ran that through the switch, and then back out to the starter solenoid.  and then some rambling about nonsense in the car, and the end of the video got deleted and I just posted it anyway see ya

55 Chevy heater box disassembly 
มุมมอง 3397 หลายเดือนก่อน
The assembly and install video didn’t work. Flush heater core both directions with the hose. Cleaned everything out really good and blew it out. Put it back together I’m going to try to put the fan in separate the heater core is already in. Attempt to fix the fresh air door next.
55 Chevy basic heater core and blower removal with a surprise

I forgot to mention, unhook the cables from the heater control before removing the heater core. It makes it a lot better. When I dropped it, the saving stamps fell out to the floor

Quick test on the blower motor switch. This one works properly. Any non-electronic controlled switch should  basically test the same way.

I should probably make better videos, but I think people can see how to unhook the cables with those two hidden screws are a problem, so that is why I posted this video

I bought a running and driving 55 Chevy project that was all disassembled and needs some love. Turns out the fuel in the tank was over 15 years old and it varnished all the intake valves in place which were hit by the Pistons. Pulled a couple of rocker studs. I attempted to clean without taking the heads off the car and it’s not possible. Pulled the heads and disassembled. I got everything cle...

saw this video in the recommendation, and it seems like the algorithm has chosen you, congrats. The wind sound is kinda strong, I recommend that you buy those fluffy windscreen for mic.
Thanks! Its just a cell phone video I need to make some improvments lol
Is the Chevelle for sale by chance?
@@Colo.5280 no it is not
I don't blame you.
Is the 55 for sale by any chance??🤔
no sorry
@IFixGood 😂😂😂😂😂 I always have to tell people no I feel you
Theres any way to fix it? Or you have to replace it ?
I always replace bent bars
Olá irmão O meu está da mesma forma Como faço para concertar? Alguma ideia?
Hello! I replace them with new ones
Simple uncomplicated average garage installation. You just show that is can be done if you try.
Thank you!
Ty👍✈️
Thank you posting this video! I’m in the process of rewiring my 56. Super helpful!
Your welcome! Glad to help
Christine
Lol
Being red? You might have another Christen
It has not tried to kill anyone... yet lol
Nice old 55 you should finish it I think its time! Did theyreallyhave that money making ripoff emissions tests back in 1973 ,LOLL!
Looks awesome!
Thank You!
boy made a gen 2 back in 2022
Was a medical officer on board. Right after evening chow we were in medical and I just happen to look up at the TV and watched it happen. Very surreal. Pilot did have a fracture to his tibia but not an open fracture. Well done to the deck crew who jumped on his chute and kept him out of the water. We were off of Australia at the time heading for Arabian gulf.
The gauge cluster in your car and mine are stock and beautiful. I don't understand why people change the to digital 😕
So it is a desert car! So is mine. No rust! 😊
Thanks for the look of the inside. I’ll be working on the cables and the defrost door later this year. Heater works great
I replaced the cables and its smooth now
Slow down with the camera you are to glittery,You will be tripping people out
After I retired I moved to a small rural town. This town date back to about 1880. I started metal detecting about 10 years ago and have pretty much detected every place, house, park, farm site, yard that I could. Found lots of old money, tokens, jewelry and lots and lot s of junk !
I find lots of junk! haha found some new places to try
The car looks solid, good bones on it. Congrats
I'm curious to what you had to give for it. I would be excited to. First thing I would do is clean everything out of it, pull the seats, sweep it out. If the floor looks good then put some new carpet in and go from there.
Paid 25k so I didnt get a deal bit I think it's fair for a running 55 bel air 2d hard top with a clean body. I will be gutting it to clean and start the interrior after its reliable. cleaned before i drive it then catpet and deep cleaning
@@IFixGood ya you did good. My brother had a 55 no post, painted blue and white with white leather interior and rebuilt 283 V8, automatic and sold it for $5,500. A real steal for someone back in the mid 70's.
you must have paid a fortune for that, it's really nice.
Feels like a fortune lol 25k
@@IFixGood considering new car prices today I think you made out pretty good.
The inspection sticker looks like an old Colorado one. I certainly remember those.
Tan paint exterior was Adobe Beige.
Ok, so I'm an old fart that lived in Vancouver B.C. and graduated in 1972. Back then Tri - 5's were coming on to the market in droves. You could get a running, no rust one for $300 - $400. My buddies and I all had one. I owned 3 over the years. But even back then Nomad wagons were hard to find. I'm looking forward to this project of yours.
I got my Chevelle in high school (1987) for $300 It didnt run tho lol
Front head light rye bows normal bad spots to get rust. Front tires throw rain water in there.
Well if you have doubts , I'll take it off your hands and you can be guilt Free , Working on old iron is my Favorite !
Looks like you got a good solid one there. Definitely restore it.
Little at a time and it will be sweet!
There's NO way u could mess up buying a 55 Chevy ! Most of us would trade a body part for one !😁👍
Love me some 55 hardtops with a small block
Good on you brother !!
Sweet ride. they normally rust on the frame below the trunk area. Kerry
I'll look today
Great score! Looks to be in nice shape. Nothing like a old 55 Chevy 👍🏻🇺🇲
What actually happened
Launch bar dissconected from the shuttle. It was not fully engauged and poped out
Run it a little wet, not a lot just a little. most people say it takes a few 100 rounds to break in, I installed the m carbo spring kit, took trigger pull down to about 3 1/2 lb and breaks pretty clean. Was a huge upgrade, an easy install and well worth the $25
It's clean and oiled well now!
Thanks for taking me for a ride yesterday. Cant wait to see what it becomes!
Sure! I'll have it running again soon
Nice score brother.
Thank you!
There's not one car on earth that looks or beat a 55 chevy car or truck. Haven't found a car yet, that I can afford!
Looks solid. Gd find. What’s the original color comb? Good price?
So far so good! Beige/Red inside and out. I paid too much but when bodywork time comes it will be worth it. It is a running and driving low milage 55 so maybe im ok. 25
action smooths out after cleaning and multiple boxes. your pinky extends beyond the mag alittle. they have an 8 round mag with longer extension. also nice rifle looks like the 16 in barrel.
Thanks! It is the16"
Any idea if this would work on the basic ruger american or is it the predator model only??
Should work. Take the butt pad off and see if the other mounting boss is in there
Is this the one that occurred soon after the cross deck from Midway to Indy?
about a year after
I work on a lot of Arctic Cat ATVs and hell, I just bought 2 feet of fuel hose and cut it into pieces the same length as the seal but it’s crazy to think some people think the pump is bad and replace the pump when more than likely it’s a faulty seal hahaha
I was with VF-154 that night, prepping my jet aft of the island. I had my back to the cats, when the flight deck lights up. I saw the hornet drop of the deck, the the chute coming down. Then a group of us starting running toward the parachute. It was surreal moment on the flight deck. The next day, the squadron had another hornet hooked up the launch bar, and i believe it was the squadron's MO and had his face above the launch bar, when broke free again, hitting him in the face. Some bad mojo in that squadron.
Awesome to see how everybody came running to help with no hesitation.
Pitching deck for you
I’m sure going into the ready room the pilots thinking, I sure hope the skipper and XO are in bed!
Is this a career ender?
No he returned to flying. The back of the ship came way up in somewhat rough seas.
@@IFixGood thank you for replying. I'm glad he returned!
Classy salvage of a factory stock. I got my boy a 10/22 not realizing the length of pull is too long for him. That's what brought me here.
Thank You! How did the 10/22 work out?
So was this a standard adult size stock or the compact stock?
This is the standard stock
