Love the visor gives it a chopped look while still leaving it stock
I agree! Thank you
William, thank you for the content. You inspired me to buy a 50 Chevy 2 door sedan special for myself.
I appreciate the information you provide on the changes you make and how it affects things.
Take care.

Very clean car ,It's my 1st time checking out your 50 chevy , mike
Typically I am not a fan of late 40 & early 50 Chevys. But I gotta tell ya William, I love yours. It has a perfect stance & in videos that paint looks damn near perfect.
Thank you so much sir
Nice ride. Love the lowered look. I have a 49 fleetline 4dr. Work in progress. Going to lower it. ( and I'm an "Old Guy"). Haha. Thanks for the content.
nice ride. enjoy!
I LOVE THE UPGRADES!!!! You have a nice, clean street cruiser. Thanks for sharing.

Muy bonito chevy yo tengo un 53 chevy con 26.000 millas originales me gustan mucho tus videos

Thank you
This car is so old school and beautiful. Very nice
Thank you!!
Hey Man, You have a very nice car. I can see why that you love it. Thanks for sharing. 🍁👍👍
Great job !!
Your shows are getting better and better !
I’m going to leave my 50 Chevy stock. Thanks for sharing
I wish I ended up with that beautiful car. I was a day late. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Thanks for the information on the lowering job! I had a '51 Fleetline that was lowered, and I just bought a '52 Bel Air that I think I will be lowering... I really do not mind the ride! Thanks.. and a GREAT job with the video by the way.. Well Done!
I just bought a 1951 chevy styleline deluxe 4 door ll original I love this car I just found u on TH-cam I'm following lookn to lower mine now 👍
Sweet! THNX!
This guy I funny man. Nice ride buddy!
Love it,picked up a 51 today!
I flipped the spring leaf shackles to lower the rear and heated the front coil springs to adjust the ride height. I never had funds to do it anyhow else. I thought to check out this video to see what lowering technique was applied, nicely done Generation Oldschool but I'll stick to my old ways.
Beautiful! Much nicer
I have a 52 Blue on Blue Bel Air beautiful car I inherited it all original...I'm going to leave it all original everybody's telling me to put an LS motor and all this and that and there but I'm just going to leave a straight six and I want to turn it into a Pantene cruiser.. I like your video nice looking car congratulations ..
Thank you bro! Enjoy your car
Long as it runs good DON'T mess with it
Cool ride !!!!!!
Sweet
I just barely subscribed and that car is a treasure . The stance is perfect
Nice ride 👍
Looks awesome William!
Looks good
Beautiful car
Love this cars I own a1950 Fleetline
your style my style man, excellent a hug from Las Vegas Nevada one more Cuban who likes your channel
Gracias mi hermano!! Saludos
Nice touch to your ride homie, looking good.
The Chev is looking really nice William . It’s part of your family now and needs a name. I also think you’re catching the fever and see more mods coming.
Hahaha little by little!! His name is el Cincuenton, meaning the big 50!
The car look great
Thank you brother
Looking good.working on 4 door 1950 did A Disc break conversion today.
Nice car
Hi William, I must admit I wasn’t a fan of you lowering your Chevy but it definitely looks cool and I like the fact you can put it back to standard if you want. Don’t get me wrong I love bagged cars and trucks but love that stock classic look of yours. New shocks will definitely help with the ride and maybe new suspension bushes to tighten it all up underneath. Great job👌
Thank you so much!! And thanks for the recommendations. I will definitely look into that
It looks really good. It sits perfect. I'll be dropping my 50 deluxe soon. Only taking me 16 years to do it 🤣 My car looks pretty much just like yours except 2 more doors, a spot light, and I have a white top. I'm changing the color soon though.
Thank you so much
I love your car also and you are perfect for her.
Hermano, subscribed to the Spanish channel, too. My '51 Chevy Styleline Deluxe Bel Air just got her new 235 engine put in, I got lowering blocks, too, 4". Your car looks beautiful. Congratulations.
Nice car and it looks good 👍
Thank you 🙏
Hola Panita..desde de Chicago ill, yo voy a compra un 1950 chevy y toda la informacion que sacas es de gran ayuda...gracias y gusto conoserte.
I got a 1950 deluxe hardtop..im going to lower it..thanks for the advise
Nice car bro... I have 1950 Pontiac Chieftain and I'm thinking of lowering it as well
Awesome video mate...your cars a credit to you...I want to do that to my 51 chevy, cheers mate Dave in wodonga Australia 🇦🇺 👍
Thank you sir
Como decimos aqui El Chuco Tx, se mira con madres Will!! Looks badass! Gives it that gangsta look!!
Gracias amigo!!
My 50 Chevy chopped will be out of interior next week.
Ola Mi Amigo Cubano from Califas, Los Angeles. Why put a modern mustang suspension. When u do it , it will drive like a modern car. U will take the entire originality and feel of driving an old school Ranfla.
As for the drum brakes I have never had problems after everything is fine tuned. The only time the drum brakes are a negative is when it rains heavy. But like u stated it's a weekend Raflita

Old school rules 59
Okay,🥱what constitutes an older guy? I was born approximately 2 years after your Chevy left the dealership. 😄. I appsolutly love what you did to yours and slamming vehicles is the only way.
Now, one thing I would change is, loose those eye brows over your headlights. I realize that is part of the look but I would rather like to see frenched headlights then those add ons. Other then that, Very nice. You were very lucky to find one in that great a shape.👌👍
Hahaha you are funny man!!! Thank you for the comment!
Suicide doors, frenched lites, big wheels, bags.......... be different. Keep the headlight visors and keep it stock but clean.
This from a real older guy. I just bought headlight visors, cowl lite visors, step plates for my 260 V-8 Ford with Tremec.
If you install the uprights with the your stock springs instead of the lowering springs which are stiff. You will get the same drop in front but have the smooth soft ride like you had when it was stock.
During the 50's people all ways named thier cars girls names.Like my Dad's black 40 ford 2 door as i remember it.He bought from a young guy that hot rodded it and it was lowered and had puppy dog painted on the right front fender.My dad called it Michelle My mom had a 55 red and white 2 door hardtop buick special named Bridgette.
Can I lower a 55 chevy on the front with spindles? Enjoyed your video, beautiful car!!!!
Bag it!!
When I changed the diff on my 50 Styleline coupe I noticed how the U bolts were. (Same as yours) Different to the more modern, over the diff tube style, but it is the correct way for the torque tube.
My car had some of the springs flipped also which makes it sit lower than yours and the tall tyres (670R15 Firestones) grab the top of the wheel arches in the rear when I go on an angle, like into a driveway. Also I get slight fender rub on full lock steering at the front. The torque tube used to hit the floor on big bumps also. Now with a 9 inch diff I get tailshaft chatter if I accelerate too hard. So I have to just cruise everywhere. The only way I reckon for this style of car 👍You can also use air shocks which are adjustable for height and therefore ride quality. They are a little more expensive and you can mount an on board compressor or just put a valve for adjusting with an external compressor. I looked into it but decided on future air bags or hydroshocks.
Thank you for the comment! I definitely want to install air shocks but not airbags
Leon, maybe your drive shaft is a bit too long. Check it at ride level.
@@modeladenny1218 the tailshaft angle and length are spot on but the floor is close to it and the stock springs not stiff enough to keep them apart. I will make a new tunnel section for the floor when I bag it.
@@leonsinner7494 I put a GM 327 in an Austin Healey Sprite. I screwed up and measured for a drive shaft cut with the rear end up on jack stands. That put the shaft too deep in the tranny with two people in it. Stuff happens.
@@modeladenny1218 Dammit!!
Keep it real...You should slam it, go with air bags.

What’s up bro, how are you?
It’s on the description of this video at the top
@@GenerationOldschool perdon!! I was paying too much attention to the car video & didn’t bother reading the description!! Espero mas videos de los dos canales ahorra !!! Gracias!!!!
Car looks nice. I have been a faithful follower of you since beginning but you have said 2 things in this video that is little discouraging to me you prefer you Spanish channel what about us English subscribers & now you prefer 40, 50 & 60s at the meets. That sucks what about the 70,s & 80s that were previously fine? 🧐
You are more than welcome to come too
My 49 chevy deluxe is blowing out black smoke frim muffler keep back firing carburetor keeps popping and then pushes out the choke button an turns off.what can be the problem...
Any ideas on lowering a 1954 mercury 2dr thanks
I have a 52 style line I wanted to lower. what parts did u use to lower it and where did you get them ?
Which blocks did you get? Are they universal?
Are you ever going to put bags on it?
The front springs, what car are they out of? i been trying to look for shorter springs for my 51 styleline but i havent been able to find them. thank you.
They are made for these type of cars.Google 1951 Chevy Styleline lowering springs
In the good ole days we used a torch to drop those springs.
My '55 Chevy wagon has dropped springs and lowering blocks in back.
@@modeladenny1218 yeah i use to do the same.. Im not of the camaro springs will fit.. Or nova.. I think the are a bit lower then the stock originals on a 51 chevy
@@petervelazquez1924 I found out that the older Camaro and Nova rear end was the same. At a junk yard a Nova rear was cheaper.
For the cost of rear springs, it's best to just buy replacement springs and use lowering blocks. I've still got the 10-bolt Nova in my '55 Chevy wagon I put in back in 1987.
@@modeladenny1218 but for the front end, are springs the same size in diameter but just shorter??
Do you have the part # for the shock you got? Thanks
I have one and i am bagging it. I'm 50yrs old and like the look when they are parked and the fram is lowered to the ground.
If you don't know how to do it or don't have the money to pay someone, dont.
The Chevy original rims were 14 inch.
Amigo, no se llena todo el radiador, deja 2 pulgadas bajo de la tapadera

We used to lower our cars and I strongly suggest not doing this! It causes excessive wear on this suspension parts. It ruins the suspension bushings and king pins. It’s give the car a harsh bouncy ride. The cops will pull you over if it’s too low.
When you gonna sell me that car?
