I don’t know why this channel doesn’t have more subscribers, good content to say the least. The heart thing is some scary stuff I’m glad you’re ok.
Super nice of you to say man. I appreciate that. I think more people just need to find the channel, so do me a soild and share with a friend! The ticker is all good so far. Thanks for watching!
I’m glad to hear that you are okay. Life has a way of getting in the way of our best laid plans. HappY Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and your family. I’m sure more will get done in the New Year!
Thanks Roy. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
Thanks for telling us about what is going on with your life Thank god the doctors can do what they can . Keep hanging on .
Thanks Mike. Yeah, docs are bit bit spendy, but I'm sure glad they were around to fix me up. Doing great now. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the update. Don't worry about us TH-cam viewers, a healthy you is much more important than any video. Enjoyed watching, that 55' is looking pretty sweet. I'm looking forward to seeing some more progress whenever it happens. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Thank you Stanley. Happy Holidays to you and yours as well!
Some days we are the windshield some days we are the bug. Glad to see that you're the windshield in this video. I enjoy all your TH-cam videos.
Thanks Greg. Much appreciated!
Glad to hear that you are feeling better. Anything to do with the heart is always scary. I really like your fancy flaring tool. Sure beats the pos I had to borrow from autozone. Had to go to 4 different autozones, just to find 1 that wasn't broken. And after using the 1 I got, I could see why the other ones were broken. Just not heavy duty enough to make the flare. Thanks for the video, and take care of yourself
Thanks David. It is a cool tool. The price was a bit hard to swallow, but I will have other projects that need lines so I figured it'd be worth it in the long run. So far I am super happy with it.
Damn ... I'm glad your OK. You need to get more done on the car, before I get it. No... really ... I'm glad your doing fine. Let's get this Chevy done.
Haha you almost got a chance to make a deal... She is getting done soon.👊
Those lines look good.... Nice rims..
A list of what's next..would be cool.
This is cool.. Just catching us up on what's been going on.. Keep us updated... Glad to hear your feeling back to normal.
Thanks Henry. If I find out what's next I'll let you know! Haha. Stay tuned for some odds and ends type stuff while I wait on parts.
I’m glad your doing better Brad. Cars looking good but your health is more important. Take it easy and rest when you need to. 👍😎✌️
Thanks for always watching Kevin!
Sorry to hear about your health woes. I hope the insurance come through soon. I remember a year ago last summer bugging you to insulate the garage before winter. But you stayed cold last winter instead, and are going to do it again! Next spring /summer get your son and his buddies over to give you a hand. You could probably get it done in a weekend. Have a Merry Christmas.
Man I sure wish I woulda listened. The insulating itself probably won't be a big deal, it's the moving of everything I don't look forward to. Hopefully I'll be smarter by next winter. (probably not though...) Merry Christmas to you as well Jim, and thanks for watching.
I make sure all my older chevy engines are orange. Take care and I am looking forward to future vids.
Orange rules! especially for engines. Thanks for watching!
Glad to hear that you are doing better. Hope you have a Happy Holiday.
Thanks, and Happy Holidays to you as well!
Glad to hear your OK you never know what life is going to throw at you best of luck to you and your health
Thanks Brian I appreciate that.
Glad that you're OK. Nice little video. Keep up the good work
Thanks a ton Brad!
Glad to see you back at it!! Hope you are doing well!!
I'm doing great. thanks Charles!
Happy to hear you feel better, the 55 is looking good. Merry Christmas.👍
Merry Christmas to you too Rusted Junk! Your '55 shop truck is looking good as well. I'll sneak back to watch more videos soon. Thanks for watching!
Hey Brad Bud glad to see you doing well, man believe me the older I get it's always something. But great to see back in Garage some nice looking Brake line work 👍. Wish you and family Happy Holidays ✌️
Thank you as always Lonnie. Happy Holidays to you as well!
A trick I have always used to find right drill bit for a tap is to take a nut the size you are threading and find bit that slide through tightly if it just fits through nut perfect to make threads
Once again my viewers prove pretty much everyone is smarter than me! Thanks for the tip Marvin. I'll give that a shot next time I don't know which drill to use.
Glad you are doing better man! That's a valid excuse if I've ever heard one! I always hated the ugly blue felpro gaskets!
Yeah that blue really shows up on there. It'll be covered in dirt and oil eventually though... Haha hopefully not. Thanks for watching.
Well that sucks brother. Glad you're gooder now. 55 is looking sharp. Love how the engine and frame look. Clean!
All gooder! Thanks for always watching Gorni!
We have a deal with Life Flight that is supposed to cover us for those unexpected helicopter rides. We haven't needed it so I can't say how well it works but might be worth looking into. I'm glad you are back in the shop and doing good.
Yeah, that's why we are wondering if it is covered, because it might be an opt in deal that we did not opt into. Time will tell I guess.... Thanks for watching.
DAMN Brad, that HEART STUFF is SCARY SHIT !!! GOD BLESS YOU Bro.🙏 MERRY CHRISTMAS and a VERY HEALTHY, HAPPY, 2023 NEW YEAR, to YOU and YOURS🙏
Thank you Bill. Merry Christmas to you as well!
Glad to hear you're OK my friend. I too know about working in the cold. Been trying to get back to furniture building and doing so in the cold is tough. Do a glue up and have to take it in the house where it's warm to dry. There are 7 of us in a smaller bungalow so space is at a premium. Gotta figure out where I'm gonna stain/finish the pieces, or do I just build a lot and finish it in the spring when it warms up again. But everybody is healthy and OK. So it's a small issue in the grand scheme of things. The furniture stuff is extra income so likely it 's gonna just have to wait.
The brake lines are looking great. I've forgotten to put the fitting on first more then I care to remember. Look forward to more from ya. Be safe and stay well.
Thanks Brian. Brutal cold right now, -17 F. My little heater won't keep up with that so not much getting done right now. Good luck with the furniture projects!
Glad you're back Brad!
Thanks Don!
Nice Bull!! Very cool that he's doing his own mount. Health issues suck and glad to hear you're on the mend. I'd say you've gotten a lot done all things considered. The car is just getting better and I still can't get over how cherry that body is. I always look forward to your videos Brad and keep up the great work!!
Thanks as always Dave. Waiting out a super cold snap right now...
Merry Christmas and stay healthy !
Thanks Howie. Right back at ya!
Glad your doing well. I understand the freezing ass cold.20 degrees where I live as well.kills motivation to want to work in a cold garage
Man the cold garage is just not good. I MUST make sure that is fixed before next winter. I have time off work right now, but it is literally -17F, so no chance I'm going out there today, or anytime soon.... Thanks for watching!
Glad your back and doing good buddy
Thank you Steve!
They always say that life always gets in the way , just that we always find something else to do… true fact ….. happy holidays to you and your family brad , let’s hope next year is better for all of us…..
Thanks David. Yes, let's hope. Happy Holidays to you as well.
Hang in there brother! I've taken that same flight and feel your pain. You're back on your feet and that's all that matters. Spend time with the family, the car isn't going anywhere!
Thanks Roger. Yep, like I said it could always be worse. Both the kids are home for the holidays, so family time it is right now. More videos coming soon though...
The copper lines look really cool. If your running your inner fenders, the left front brake line is in the way. The inner fenders run alongside of the chassis.
Thanks Robert, I was actually afraid of that and debated digging out the inner fenders for a test fit. Obviously I ended up not doing that, but figured if any lines are in the way it won't be that hard to make a change. I tend to work harder, not smarter for some reason... Your '55 is looking killer man. I have a few vids to catch up on but looks like you've almost got it done. Congrats!
@@MontanaGarage Brad, I hope it clears because the lines turned out really nice. I wish I'd done the copper. It really pops on the black chassis. Nice job man.
If it doesn't clear, it's just practice right? Lol. I get LOTS of practice around here. lol
@@haffrods7055 Thanks man. I struggled with actually not liking the look of the copper at first, but it's growing on me.
Brad glad to hear your ok and back on the 55. Brake lines suck to do..yours are coming nicely..I also want to run the back line down the DS..seems like its a cleaner install..thanks for the update
Yep, it should work pretty smooth that way. May have to make a new bracket off the frame where the line switches to flexible line, or nay be able to use a body mount bracket for that. I was going to do it the other day, but laying on the concrete was a bit cold so I chickened out and did something else. Thanks for watching!
@@MontanaGarage 🤣looks good either way though
Good to see you back video taping again ! I understand life stuff because i got heart disease I got Covid a year and a half ago which I now have lung problems ! So I went back to work on light duty 8 months ago but I’ve missed a lot day at work because I can’t breathe so my savings for parts my 55 have been frozen till I get better‼️ but there’s a lot I can work on that don’t take much money 😃👍 thank God your doing well‼️ Aloha from Texas 😊🤙🤙🤙
Sorry to hear your having similar problems Edward. These projects take a lot of money, but I'm in the same boat with having plenty to do that requires labor, but not a ton of money. Good luck checking that stuff off your list! I hope you are feeling better and doing well also!
Good to see you back. My dad ended up with the de-fib as well. It made his life heaps better as he had years of heart trouble. Sorry to hear about your possible cost after the flight. Our health system here in Australia may not be as good as it should but I know its a lot better than the states. When I made my brake lines i was going to buy a tube straightening tool but it was too much. I looked on google and made one with 5 small wheels and a board. Its been working great. I used insulated P clips on my brake lines and they worked well as I just used self drilling screws. Wife asked how moose is going as well?
Thanks Johnny. I should look into that straightening tool. Yeah the med system is crazy around here. I think we have good care, just super unaffordable. Glad they were here to help me out though. Moose is doing great, thanks for asking. I'll get the star of the show back on camera again here soon.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 🎄🎁😁
Thanks Charles I appreciate that man. Merry Christmas to you as well!
Hey Brad, glad you're feeling better. Seems to me you live a pretty well balanced life. As they say, "variety is the spice of life". I can say from experience that if you concentrate on one area of your life too much, if for some reason you can't do that particular thing, you will have a much harder time adjusting to the void in your life. Merry Christmas!
Thanks Ken. It seems like we do do a bit of everything around here, so I would have to agree. Thanks for watching!
I'm about ready to start brake lines on my 37 CHev PU. I'm heading to Minneapolis whenever they lift the road closure on I90 and while there I'm borrowing a brake flaring tool from a friend.
Cool. Many roads have been and are still closed around here also. Dang winter. Why do I live here?Good luck with the lines and thanks for watching.
Hey Brad! Man im happy to hear your back to feeling good! As we all grow harder our health is everything! I can't believe the life flight is 30k where's the helicopter from the state fair when you need it. That sucker will fly you around for 35 bucks! Have a good one Buddy 👍
Thanks Don. Haha, but I guess the state fair helicopter doesn't have the medical team and all the fancy gadgets that keep a guy alive though. I appreciate you watching friend!
Glad you're feeling up to par. I see your old hat did not make it through the restoration. Hopefully you have memorialized it in some fashion.
Oh the old hat is still around. It's a bit more fragile after a long hunting season. I'm trying to be a bit more selective on when I wear it so it can make it through. It'll be back... Thanks for watching!
!WoW! Sorry to hear that. Please make sure you take care of your self. I like your videos a lot. But nothing is worth you or your family. Your car is looking good.
Thank you so much for saying so. I am all good, so more videos coming soon.
In regards to your heli flight bill look up the no surprise act of 2022 it’s just for this kind of thing 👍
Thanks for the tip Jeff. We are still fighting that, so I will definitely look into this. Much appreciated!
Man, Brad... I'm glad you are doing better.
"Life" is what happens between crisis. When you get through one crisis make sure you take the time to enjoy life before the bext crisis comes along. And it will come. It may take a while. It may not.
I don't have an "onboard" defib machine like you but I do have a nasty A-fib issue and a bad valve. When I go "out of time" I run like a V8 on 3 cylinders so while I don't know exactly how you felt I have a bit of an idea.
HOW MUCH for that flight??? Holy Mother of Pearl! I hope the insurance covers it.
With my health, I'll stay in the country I'm in. I'd be left for dead in your country, since I'm broke.
Oh... this Spring I will be like many others and start hounding you to get that garage insulated. ;)
Take care.
Thanks Joe. Sorry to hear you have similar issues. Hopefully you're doing what you need to to take care of that. Yeah all this medical stuff is crazy expensive, but I'm sure glad the doc were around to fix me up. I WILL NOT go another winter without insulation, but maybe remind me in the spring like you say because I'm likely to try and put it off again... I may never learn.
Brad, with all of the hospital/emerg/ambulance trips in the last few years I'm very fortunate to live in a country where health care is "free" to us. Otherwise.. well... I don't want think about it.
As for the insulation. all I say is, "Sure, sure." ;)
I'll be watchin'! ;)
Loving the double nickel
Thanks man I appreciate you watching and saying so!
I'm 72 and I've been on a Beta Blocker for 13 years. I recently had my dosage cut in half but I know about how it saps your strength
Yeah it's no fun. My new meds technically are not a beta blocker I guess, but they have similar results. No energy for sure. I'm hoping they can cut my dosage down as well and see if that is better.
Good to see you again and do take care of yourself. Family is first period. Cars are nice but if your not around to enjoy it, it's not worth it.
Nice looking lines how do you run the brakes lines from the master cylinder. Front bowl to the front lines rear to the rear?
I plumbing in full disks on my 55 and it's a hydro boost system from a truck. I'm hoping it works out okay.
Thanks Monad. Generally speaking I think you're right on, front to front, back to back. My set up was a bit different with the line lock. I don't know much about the hydro boost system however. Good luck with that project and I appreciate you watching.
Sorry to hear about your heart. Just hug that cat and be calm.Could be worst, Dan at DD could have operated on your heart!
Haha, no one wants that! In all fairness, I'm sure he would find a way to make it work, it just might not be pretty or how someone else would have done it. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, years of life kicking me in the nuts. ( Mostly when I was married. )
Haha ain't that the truth.
Question , is that the smaller balancer , on a 350. Someone told me that would make my 350 wind up faster , what do you think 😊
My engine is a 327. A far as I know, that is a stock balancer. I haven't heard that about a smaller balancer. I have heard using a lighter flywheel can help the engine wind up faster, so it makes sense that a smaller balancer would do the same, I just haven't tried either. Thansk for watching!
Brad, life happens. I'm glad you're doing alright.
DD Speedshop Chevy; did you return it to the EFI? setup??? ( The way it was when you got it.) I forgot what setup was last on it.
Yep, it currently has the FiTech EFI back on it. I've had no issues since they replaced the ECU under warranty. I'm still learning the tuning a bit, but it's running good. I MAY put that on the '55. Still undecided, as usual.
@@MontanaGarage GOOD DEAL!!!!
I understand, getting away from carburetors is a good thing..
Brad where did you get that "T" junction box you are pointing at discussing the different types of fittings that screw in to it?
Thanks for watching Check. Sorry I didn't get to this sooner. That junction block is from Summit Racing, Part Number: EAR-972050ERL. Hope that helps.
@@MontanaGarage thanks Brad, I really like your videos.
@@chuckpetritz1783 Thanks Chuck! There's a new video coming out later today!
You know what they say, if it ain't one thing it's another. Your health is more important that putting out videos for goof offs like me. Take care of yourself 1st and your family. My son and his family live in Montana and me in Chicago so I know cold. Stay warm and healthy.
Thanks 1956Fink. Where in Montana do they live?
Rexford
17:52 I looks like the bolt for the damper is not there.
Thanks for watching and trying to help. This is an older small block, and the damper is just press fit. The crank isn't tapped for a bolt.
Where did you get those motor mount brackets?
The motor mounts are CPP brand and I got them from Summit, here is the part number -
Classic Performance Engine Mounts CPP5557SM-SB
Thanks for watching!
@MontanaGarage no thank you for the videos you post. I am currently working on a 55 belair hardtop and your videos have been very helpful.
Too cold for Moose eh ?
He is smart enough to stay inside... I however, am not. Thanks for watching!
I know how you feel i am 65 and have the same heart condition 2 year's ago i got home from my 3 week hitch in Prudhoe Bay Alaska and the next morning i am in the hospital having the defibrillator/pacemaker installed it knocked my dick in the dirt and forced early retirement from my Alaska job now i have plenty of time to work on my Olds 442 but little extra money but i am making due it will get finished some day take care my friend
Sorry to hear you have similar problems. Sounds like you're doing well. Like I said, it could always be worse, right? Good luck with the Old 442. Those things are cool! Thanks for watching.
Paint? Meh primer.
Take care of your ticker.(If you will.)
My heart will sometimes start rapping away for no reason once in a while, but it ramps down and its fine for a while.
Primer rules! Haha maybe paint someday. Be careful with that ticker and get it checked out if your having issues like that. Thanks for always watching Howard.
@@MontanaGarage my heart acted up while I was on a heart monitor at the hospital, nothing showed up wrong on the monitor.
Primer/ paint, meh, its your car, your call. Just enjoy it....
Did you sell that tri-5 57 yet? , hahaha ! i should say butchered 57
I still have the DDSS '57. I haven't really decided what I'm doing with that thing yet. It may go up for sale this spring.
Stop referring the 57 as dd speed shop car. Dan is a hack
Thanks for watching Vernon. It's kinda the name I gave the car, so I'll probably keep calling it that.
OUTSTANDING at least you are a real man doing it real no rainbow hair or bullshit about how your pissed off about what people ask you stay real bro. GREAT videos. GREAT cars good man just being real. Its hard not to show boat but i like your channel alot.
Thanks a ton Martin. I really appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you enjoy the videos.
