Bucket list car. I’m terminally ill and unless GOD does a miracle I won’t be around long enough to buy or build. Beautiful work. God Bless you brother.
this is the first time in life I have EVER commented on a you tube video! I am compelled to express what i just saw in this video. So, first of all, this is by far the greatest in depth video i have seen on frame reinforcement. Not only that, the lingo that dude is using is straight hittin switches in the streets lowriding. I love the passion and appreciate all who keep the lifestyle alive. The only thing I'm mad about is that yall aint closer to Philly to work on my 64 impala conv. 4 pumps 10 batt. fyi, been lowriding for 25 years. keep up the good videos!
Emmanuel Ekeleme that's what started all this, hard to find any information or help with this stuff, I'm also working on several others that I will be posting soon.
Emmanuel thank you very much man. Im 37 years old and have been into the lifestyle since I was 16 years old. Definitley not something that you can just stop. I don't care how old I get, a passion is a passion no matter what.
Aaron Christensen I'm into another genre of cars you could say, but I love lowriders.. the time and effort put into them is amazing... I know cause one of my cars is in 100 pieces. Haha hey if ya can't get a low rider car get a bike , I did😬
What a great video. This is what youtubeing is all about, sharing that knowledge. Thanks for taking the time to put this video up guys. Very, very helpful.
Thanks for all the comments guys. Just an update, the frame is finished and has been filled and painted. Also, the adjustable upper control arms have been removed and replaced with OEM arms. They have not been extended or reinforced yet but definitely will be. Front end has been put back and as well as the rear end. Had to replace a rear main seal in the engine yesterday and new oil pan gasket which took up a lot of time. Also got the y-bone on Saturday and have installed it. Hopefully have the engine mounted today and maybe even the body back on the frame. Also, the battery and pump racks have been primered, painted and cleared with paint that was matched to the car.
Nice video! Im on the tail end of frame off restoring my 64 hardtop. I opted for air bags from BC Fab, you cant do as much with bags but hydros are just so heavy. I wrapped the X section of the frame on my car for a little added rigidity. Should work out alright.
very....very cool & informative video that addresses real world problems & solutions that can arise when tackling a tough mechanical task dealing w/ framework....nicely done!
Very, very informative. I have a64 impala convertible. I, unfortunately, cannot install Hydros on it because it would be a HUGE waste of money because of the roads in this city. But, hopefully, one day I can get the frame reinforced and toss switches on it.
It's true there are very few videos on wrapping a frame. Thanks for taking the time to make these. very helpful. I'm wrapping my first 66 impala frame and trying to make a few quick videos along the way. I'm looking for all the help I can get. maybe you could do one on molding the frame after reinforcenent? Thanks again man....
Hi, great video! Can you tell me how far you have to cut the middle of the frame for lifting car? I assume back to the carrier bolts, then reinforce it on sides and top completely and bottom from carrier bolts forward.
R D Rob working on it. Have several coming up. How to make removable battery racks, custom rear spring perch and reinforcement, installing extended trailing arms and how to make them work. Anything specific your wanting to know?
No nothing specific that I need. I just really enjoyed watching your video. I was always curious how they reinforce frames to three wheel. Now I see how it's done
Reinforcing the frame for hydraulics seems like the right thing to do. But how much does it cost to remove the frame from the body and reinforce the whole frame like in your video?
those nubs u got welded to the rear of the frame for the rack. im sure most people weld the rack to them but have u ever seen anyone use them to bolt the rack in?
Actually those are removable racks, I just havent posted the videos yet. I will be posting the video in a couple weeks when the car is completely done. It will be a how to make removable racks and several other things.
fuzzy wuzzy we did a few now like that but haven't posted the videos, it's easy but time consuming to make it all line up right. We have some pretty cool stuff coming up, stay tuned
Hello, I am currently doing a 63 impala hardtop to functional factory working vert conversion, and I was wondering if you know what the interior body structure for the vert looks like, I have the vert frame and windshield frame I just need to know and see what all else the interior structural integrity needs to have done to it! Thanks
Do you have to have a full wrap on a 64 convertible because it has less support? Can you get away with a stress point reinforcement if you’re just doing fbss and no 3 wheeling or hopping.
I only got the rear arches, front sides, and underneath the belly. Got 3 pumps 10 batts. Starting to notice gaps in doors and fenders. Somebody said sit the car on jack stands all 4 corners and it will restore the frame and close the gaps. Then box in the center of the frame. Will that help?
Gride Brougham I’m not saying that won’t work but once the damage is done, it’s hard to correct. I doubt doing that will fully straighten the frame. But give it a try, once it has straightened as much as you can get it, fully reinforce frame and fix whatever bodywork needed.
Thank you. Kinda figured it wouldn't go back 100% to specs. But If I can get it close, I'll box in the center span. My next build will be a frame off :thumbsup:
I was wondering on some low riders I notice chains in the rear axle to the trunk I think and can you get the same affect using air bag shocks I think they are?
Russell Harris Lowrider Hydraulics would've never knew. I have a 63 4 door belair i want to transform into a lowrider but couldn't find anyone in the city to do it. The shops i went to kept talking about airbags and I'm not a fan of that
Find me on FB and I’ll come with a few guys to take a look, worse case you’ll have some new homies that can help you get up and going. If you are not a part of Tennessee on Hydraulics page, go join and Message me.
RC Jr depends on where exactly the are reinforcing, thickness of metal, and quality of work. But assuming they are using 1/4 inch since it’s just a partial wrap, and the welds are nice and the work is good, $1700 is a decent price. My suggestion before you do that would be to call Pit Bull Hydraulics and ask how much for a completed frame, they have them already done sometimes, just send them your donor frame and they send you a finished one. Not always but they are the gold standard when it comes to frames. Brent knows his stuff
They're mainly focusing on the front and rear axle, they're not removing the shell of the car. Thanks! I do plan on doing a little hopping and maybe three wheel.
RC Jr my advice is to find someone else that knows impala frames and Hydraulics to do the reinforcing. The weak points of the x frame at mainly from the middle to the back. Call Pit Bull
I looking into buying a 64 hardtop impala that is partial reinforced trail arms,a arms,side & bottom of frame. is those areas the main stress point for a 4 pump car? Thanks
Marco Santa Cruz to do yourself, if you have all the tools and equipment, around $500 worth of metal and misc items. Having someone do it, $2500-$4000. Painting included.
So are u just pretty much putting plate steel where ever the frame isnt already boxed..or are u completely wrapping all 4 sides of the frame in plate steel
Bucket list car. I’m terminally ill and unless GOD does a miracle I won’t be around long enough to buy or build. Beautiful work. God Bless you brother.

How many sheets of 3/16s did u use for the whole frame
Great job & video bro
any old car you must wrap the whole frame period
S.I. Thug that’s the right way to do it fa sho
What about if its partial reinforcement?

Naw you said it right the first time!!!!!!! LINCOLN
Great job on the video.
Easier to sell convertible frame get a ht frame add 2 body mounts and u don't have all the factory welded reinforcements in the way
What’s going on? My name is also Russell Harris. And I have a 62 impala that I want to do this to.
Is 1,700 too much for a partial wrap for my 63 Impala? That's what they wanna charge me when they install my hydraulics?

awesome. :D
Couldn’t bare the welding in the background.
Help save you time on welding the frame is to have an air blow gun by you each time you weld after quickly blow it with compressed air
Curtis Fisher
Rapid cooling after welding will cause the metal contract. If it contracts too much too quick, it'll end up cracking the weld.
Frank Rodriguez tell him ay!
Should have that welder give it a break while you make your videos can’t hear shit!
My car frame is made for hydros so I'm am very lucky
So are u just pretty much putting plate steel where ever the frame isnt already boxed..or are u completely wrapping all 4 sides of the frame in plate steel
hard ti hear with all thwme welding
sorry, couldn't slow down the work in progress.
just put air bags and ride, lose the wheels too. factory shit is nice
Eliminate the background noise!!
educating video , But why do it when the guy is welding smh
You shoukd if stopped welding just for a minute..can't deal...wiukd of probably woukd of been a great educational video other wise
Can’t hear shit with that damn welder interrupting....
Yo stop Welding can't even here
