I see u just install the bolts raw,, i work at a fishing company on mantenance on the boats , u know there everything get corroded really easy,, so we use on bolt this thing called NEVER SEEZ it helps really good to prevent corrorion. YUOR VIDEOS ARE REALLY USEFULL MAN
Great to see you again brother!!!! Another great video.....I sure appreciate them....I know we all look forward to seeing them....right on!!!..God bless
Dang, brother, that is so exciting watching the frame come together. Looks awesome 👌. Watching the process is very helpful ty for all your work on bringing these Classics back to life. Have a glorious weekend, brother.
Is there any chance that you might have footage of the repair process to the body mount points? Your videos are awesome. Thanks for the great work and for explaining the detail.
Damn. Where was this video a week or 2 ago. Lol. Just did my 63 frame as well. Mine is on air ride. And it’s sitting an inch off the ground from the frame.
So many details, thanks for posting. Do you know if that bracket is necessary above the rear end? It spans across the frame. I heard it’s a support bracket for the gas tank but I’m not sure.
Great video and very helpful! What spring compressor were you using for the front springs? Handling compressed spring is nerve wracking for me. I've seen holes in shop walls from springs getting mishandled. Also, what did you use to refinish the hardware for the rear suspension?
That one is an OEM brand compressor, I really try to avoid using spring compressors..... very scary tool to use..... the rear suspension was media blasted, epoxy primed and painted. Thanks for watching !!
@@guzzifabrication3448 Thanks for the info! I was actually curious how you refinished the nuts, bolts, and washers for the rear suspension. Do you do your own zinc/cad plating? Refinishing fasteners is something I'm trying to improve my abilities on.
@@guzzifabrication3448 my bad I should hav been more clear. How does the gear box detach from the pitman arm. Do you know any tricks on gettin that off? Thanks Brotha 💪
@christopher ortiz you have to use a ball joint separator they are pretty inexpensive there is a tie rod ball joint separator and a regular ball joint separator you want to get the correct width
Never understood why some people put a chassis together then paint the entire thing (bolts, hardware and all) one color. Factory finishes are the best.
Every bolt that is tighten! the power coat got cracked and that where the problem starts! 32 years of experience talking! I did sandblasting for that long!! @@guzzifabrication3448
Why not powder coat? It's the most durable as far as I know. I'm asking a legit question: What are the cons? I'm getting ready to send my chassis off to get done. What is a better way to go, and why is it better?
He's the best in the business. #1 💯 💯💯

I don't, I just cut out the top damaged area and welded in a new piece, drilled out the appropriate size with a metal hole saw.
Damn. Where was this video a week or 2 ago. Lol. Just did my 63 frame as well. Mine is on air ride. And it’s sitting an inch off the ground from the frame.
Sweet, the question is where is your video??? I'd love to see it ! Thanks for watching !!
Can’t wait till my 63SS is at your shop sir👍🏽 great work as usual
Yes Sir !
Just what I need at this time on my build. Thanks.
Nice !! Thanks for watching !
Thanks that was very clear
Thank you Sir !!
Nice work! One comment... final tightening of the control arm bushings should be when car is at final ride height.
Enjoying your videos.
Thanks for the input
So many details, thanks for posting. Do you know if that bracket is necessary above the rear end? It spans across the frame. I heard it’s a support bracket for the gas tank but I’m not sure.
Great question, yes it's a support, if you have it definitely use it. Thanks for the comment !
😃👍

@@jjohns17 Luckily there is a plating company a mile away, Gleco Plating, they can yellow/silver zinc, nickle, phospate, etc.
Power Assist. You think it’s worth using the power assist? How did you get that steering gear box off? Where does it detach? At the bushing?
3 bolts hold the gear box on and the pitman joint. Power assist..... induvidual preference..... they always seem to leak.....

@@guzzifabrication3448 🙏
Where did you buy your rear trailing arm bushings? Any part number would be great
Sorry that was a couple of years ago, probably purchased from classic industries
Only took 58 years n finely someone put a chrome cap on after doing the brakes 🇺🇲
I know right ...... Thanks for watching !

Yes Sir, it is all in the detail...
Where do you order your yellow zinc hardware from?
Fastenal
@@guzzifabrication3448 Thank you. I appreciate your videos and help. You're second to none in my book.
@@JohnDoe-one That means alot brother.... Thank you
How much does something like this cost roughly
@@robertmontoya5727 Hey thanks for the question, we have to assess every vehicle independently in order to put together any type of estimate.
Whats up with all these stupid comercials
Ask TH-cam....
Never ever power-coat!
When your customer request that you powerder coat...... you powder coat......
True! That is the fast cheap way to go! But it will bite them later! @@guzzifabrication3448
Your project looks interesting! I'll be watching! @@guzzifabrication3448
