Man, I am a hot rodder thats been doing this stuff for 30 years, and youre doing this exactly how hot rodders do.....just do it and figure it out. Well done my man.
Good job well done I'm doing the same job to my 71 Nova on my channel it uses a TS801 shock that is a "T" Bar mount. Look forward to see what's next on the bird......Subed
Those clip/cage nuts can be a real pain. So often they break off during disassembly and then you have a real nightmare on your hands when you can't remove the spring pocket screws. Regarding those rear leaf spring shackles. While you do want them in tight and hopefully using nylock nuts but be sure the shackles move freely as the car bounces up and down. You don't want them so tight that they bind up. Nice video series. You're going to have nice driver when you get it put together.
I appreciate the feed back, I tightened the nylon nut to where I saw about 3-4 threads on the other side. I’ll definitely revisit it to make sure its not over tightened. I still have a a few more things to do with the rear end. Keep an eye for more videos ! :)
hey bud love your videos. I just bought a 67 bird and i have multi leaf springs with traction bars and the bracket to the rear shock does not fit anymore. I bought the QA! shocks like you have. I was wondering if you can share a link where you bought the bolt's that you bought sepertly to mount the bottom shock to? Or just the nae of it? Thank you

Nice Job. I just started my rear suspension today. My front bracket bolts are spinning. You got lucky with yours.
Just did this on my '67 Firebird, good video man!!!!

Any drive videos with the suspension completed? Interested to see how it all came out.

Really would like to know your impressions on driving with the coil overs. Good videos!
Nice job! Getting ready to do this on my 69 Camaro
How do you like the ride with the QA1s
Nice job

I used the bolts that came with the shocks, I did have to drill out the hole in the bracket to make it fit though.
i thought you said you ordered them they were like 10 bucks a piace?

I'm building a 69. Still debating rear suspension. How does it ride?
What happen!? Love the build why stop bummer... 😢😢
Did you ever get your rear brakes installed?
You never tighten the ft spring bolt to front bracket. Just wonder ing why.🤔
so swaggy big bro
Why do you have to install u-bolts when the factory setup didn't have it, now you have to screw around with the rear brake lines?
factory did utilize u-bolts but only 1 per side, with the Hotchkis there are 2 per side
