    This car has come a long ways. Done a greatJob on the brakes.!And now transmission problems? 😢 Great job 💯👊

      Thinking it's either the torque converter or fluid starvation. Because the engine and trans are tilted for exhaust clearance.

    Man! Things were too good I guess?! Hope it’s an easy fix like the 727 was. Looks awesome otherwise.

      I've had a couple blow up on me was wearing a welding helmet luckily. Best thing to do is hose out 10 times them have it full of water while welding.

    I did a disc brake conversion on my ‘58 Chevy. I didn’t run a booster . It’s fine. The disc brakes is what counts.

    How do those whitewalls work? They look great!

    • @somewhatfast
      @somewhatfast  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They aren't too bad from a distance they wrinkle up at the bottom with radial tires though. Not bad for 50 bucks on ebay, make sure to use atlas brand. Tires I ordered online were around 60 bucks a piece. When you compare that to $300 a piece for white wall tires ill deal with the wrinkles!

  • @mikehaglund7283

    I had a 77 Monte Carlo with an intermittent trans noise like that. Turned out flexplate was cracked around the bolts mounting it to flywheel...

  • @robertlacob8831
    @robertlacob8831 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hopefully the trans noise will be something minor Nick. You are learning about those BAD vendors out there as there are a bunch of them. With the advertising you have, I would have a lawyer sue for misrepresentation!

  • @haroldrogers6083

    Bro after you clean the wheel up with the wire wheel and if you dont want to paint the inside i use to use duck tape and run it up but not around the bead area . they sell a bead seal kind of like uncured rubber that will help seal the bead but will make it kind of tuff when you go to dismount your tires . Good luck with the rest of the car.

    Hi. Sorry. To tell you. You pay to much for the kit. 😔 you can tried to get a used buster or a universal one for Less..hope you can find one ✌🏻👍your wagon looks amazing 😊👍

    I just recently found your channel. Caught up on the wagon's videos, 👍. Have you considered using fuel tank liner on your leaky gas tank?

    • @somewhatfast
      @somewhatfast  ปีที่แล้ว

      Problem is the fuel pickup sock isn't accessible. I had to b
      Cut the tank open the replace the pickup and sock. When I welded it back together I there are just some very small pinholes. I thought about using jb weld tank weld on them since they are so small.

    • @CW-user
      @CW-user ปีที่แล้ว

      @@somewhatfast I had a radiator shop for 20 years, gas tanks were another thing we did. The issue on older cars was rust. Once cleaned with acid many had pin holes, those were soldered up, larger holes patched and soldered, then we lined the tanks, rotating to cover the entire inside. JB weld it, if it still leaks you should consider lining it. The liner creates a membrane inside the entire tank. Never had to use more than a quart on any tank. Red Kot or any other brand red formula worked best. The black colored liners were hit or miss. I think a quart is about $50 now.

    I have thought about doing disc brakes on the back any ideas or tips? Just picked a 55 plymouth 4 door wagon

    • @somewhatfast
      @somewhatfast  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Watch the videos on the V8 swap I installed an 8.8 ford explorer rear end with disk brakes. Only paid $150 it uses the same lug pattern too so you can keep factory wheels.

    I just picked up a 4 door. I'm looking into doing disc brakes on the front what would you suggest buy thro now since the website was crazy? Any suggestions?

    • @somewhatfast
      @somewhatfast  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Buy the basic kit from AAJ brakes it comes with
      Caliper Mounting Brackets
      Adapters
      Nuts & Bolts
      Then buy the calipers rotors and hoses off Amazon rockauto etc. I believe they were late 70s camaro rotors. Go on AAJ and look the basic kit is only $300

    What years of 90's Ram transmissions do not require a computer? Thanks

    • @somewhatfast
      @somewhatfast  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you want over drive and Lock up you need to look for a 46RH also known as a518. Ram started using the 46RE (which is electric, computer controlled) in 1996 when they switched to OBD2. So best donor truck to pick is 1994-1995.

    If you had to buy new tires, why wouldn't you just buy white wall tires?

    • @somewhatfast

      About a $700 difference is why
