- If it seem like things have been a non stop parade of incredible customer cars in our shop you would be correct, we've noticed that too! In today's video we dive into Steve's "showroom stock" '68 Malibu to start checking off a few things on his To Do list. High on that list as you've probably noticed late, is a rear gear swap and setup.
With that rear gear we're also looking at a speedo change and a few other things... unfortunately as it seems to ALWAYS work out that no matter how much planning and prep you do there's always at least a couple curveballs ahead. But one challenge at a time, one bolt at a time and we'll get there.
We very much appreciate all the cool and stunning cars our customer trust us with, this car being very high on that list. You'll see just a bit of it in this video just how truly NEW this car really is, like if you walked into a Chevrolets Dealership in 1968. Hopefully you all like it and appreciate the work put into it as much as we do.
In this video we've also taken the opportunity to show a bit more of how a rear gear setup goes, you all have likely seen several of our Chevy 10 bolt videos lately and this one shows a bit more of that process for those who are interested.
Huge thanks as always to all our subscribers, followers, fans, and customers who have made our business successful and gotten our channel to where it is today. Special thanks to the SRC / Street Racing Channel / SRC Garage / Old Man's Garage / Junkyard Digs folks for showing such amazing support for us over the past several months. Without all of you we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are today. We hope you enjoy this one! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
We really really do get to work on some truly incredible rides around here, hopefully you all enjoy us sharing it!
Very much so
The old man lead me here when you started, haven't missed a video yet! I find your videos very informative and educational. Please keep them coming! Thanks!
Thanks David we really appreciate the support it means a lot to us!
I lost it choking on my drink when you said "ding. Fries are done" totally caught me off guard. Lol
Beautiful Chevelle. I'd love working on cool cars like that everyday.
It's stunning, almost scary to work on being this perfect. Especially with it being in the shop for day after day after day. We are TRULY blessed with getting to work on some really awesome rides
Oh yeah. He rotisserie'd that ole girl. Beautiful 68. I'm sure this is one of the cool days at work.
Yes he did. For MONTHS in his home garage. Frame was even stripped clean and made perfect before repaint and reassembly
I enjoy your work tremendously,on any project you work on. Your knowledge is incredible, no matter how long you,be been working in the field. Beyond the call of repair. Gravity!
We're still working on that gravity thing in the shop! Eventually we'll get that suckered figured out too! Glad you are enjoying the in the shop videos, thank you for helping support us!
out of all the years, they made Chevelle from 64-79 the 68 is my favorite year; my brother had one; they took the 327 out of my dad's 55 awesome memory
Good evening Mr Lucore, thanks for bringing us another classic for us to learn from Rich in, this one reminds me if my first car a 70 Malibu!😁
This thing since we first saw it is absolutely stunning, you really don't see many people commit THIS far to a factory showroom stock build. Hopefully it brings back good memories!
The lady that walked behind Rich transformed into a bald guy. :)
Love this channel!!
Lol editing magic! Thanks Jim!
I know it doesn't happen often but isn't it so very nice to work on something that doesn't have you looking like you have been working in a coal mine after working on it. Lifelong Ford guy but can really appreciate the pristine 68 Chevelle that is in even better shape than Bills Malibu. Great content guys. Grew up working on those cars. First car ever was a 68 Mercury Cougar XR7. Sadly it was not as nice as that 54 year old car and it was a six year old Ohio car when I owned it.
Wow,,,so glad I found this channel,,,thanks to SRC.....so cool,,,
Healthy sounding !!
She is indeed! That lil 327 is very very healthy!
I seen that little trick you did when you popped that axle seal 👍
That's a trick a commentor reminded us of actually! Very useful tip
Luv those old time Chevy colors. Super Sweet.
Beautiful car and great, informative video!!
Thanks Scott glad you enjoyed it, we HAD to show this thing off!
Beautiful Chevelle and great job by Rich as always!! Another happy customer.
A 68 chevelle 396 ss was my first car so this definitely brought back memories. Love the old time cars that you've been getting lately keep up the awesome content looking forward to seeing your next video and as always be safe 👍
You did a Perfecter job on that Rich😎 Perfecto lol
Team Lucore Keep On With Great Videos 😎💪💪

Thanks Scott!
Fun Fun, great looking car, and great job
Great car
This thing is simply STUNNING. We'll include some more footage throughout it in the follow up video(s)
Most everything you came across today was helped by experience. You can't buy that. You do awesome work and take much pride in it. You have an awesome shop and would bring my camaro to you in a heartbeat if you were close and have no worries about it. Ohio is looking pretty good lately.
Great tips love the bent shim definitely pass that one along to my son!!! LOVE from Nova Scotia
I am so happy that you all are doing these videos. They are truly imformative. You was right about what you said, when you said the knowledge will die one day. So I as a viewer agree totally with you. I am 58yrs old and a mechanic as well as yourself and I know that you are telling the truth.
Love the quality of your work and the attention to detail. Making sure everything is clean with no debris left anywhere. One thing I learned early was take a few extra steps now and saving from having to do it all over again. Kinda like a nitrous "break in period" lol..
Again thanks for the good content and true American work ethic and pride in what you do.
10/10 videos
Great content
Thanks Anthony we appreciate it!
...unbelievable, outstanding tutorial on the process - thank you !...
Thanks Rollie we appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it, always try to to use these opportunities to sneak in a little education as well!
Beautiful car...nice work...
Awesome ride, another great informative video. Keep them coming. Make sure they stay off that loud pedal for a bit
Love the car...and the work you guys do! You guys should look into fixing that air leak in the shop....between that and the compressor coming on so much to compensate , the sound quality suffers IMO.
I was able to remedy that yesterday.
One of the better channels on. Thanks.
Thanks Kurt we appreciate that!
Really nice vice on your work table
I paid $200 for the table as I recall. the Vice was on it.... I thought it was a pretty good deal.
Great video Rich. Beautiful malibu. Got a 69 myself.
After I got out of the Navy in 85 I bought a 68 Chevelle Malibu. Built the 327 and the TH350 put on aome meats and had a lot of fun around town for years until I sold it to my Nephew. Mistake.
Sure glad you’re left-handed no I know you’re in your right mind
Sometimes out of our minds but at least right brained!
Lucore showing there expertise and class again. !!
Perfect Example of the Drum Brake Puzzle with optional Different installation techniques!!
What did you have to have Welded on the axle housing, couldn't hear what you said due to Air Compressor noise?
Forget it I figured it out!!
What sprayer were you using? I have tried a couple compressed air chemical cans and none seem to last.
What's the pinion bearing removal tool man that's sure looks
Hi
Have a good weekend
Hey Logan, thanks for being here and showing your support! Enjoy your weekend as well
You guy's definitely need a less noisy air compresser lol.
That's on the To Do list for sure!
What Milwaukee impact is that? What’s up with that black and white 69 in the background??
What was the blue tool you was using on the differential, and what does it do?, lost me on that one
Took me almost 2 minutes to figure it out you was taking off the old bearings, just never seen that to before
So the new axles are not tapered like the old one
Any way you can enclose that compressor??? 😉
I am looking at a rotary to solve the compressor noise.... it is bad on the videos.... but its worse in the shop. .... I also have a line that is leaking that I need to address..... never enough time.
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽
Where does the name Lucore come from? is it short for someones name like the Lu part ?, trying to figure that one out lately Thanks
The last name of the man you see wrenching in this 😀
@@LucoreAuto ah well that solves the riddle Mr. Lucore!
Bent Shim method, GM training by a common sense guy. For setting backlash. Hope those India made axles hold up to our American made asphalt. Yea the USA needs to build our own parts again. It's coming.
