I just finished pressure testing the air system on my 51 Cranbrook. I felt so happy with it until I saw this video... I didn't know hopping was an option. I use 3/8 line and 5/2 solenoid valves to control it with a similar switch. Now i want your setup!

Bigger valves will make a significant speed difference, even with 3/8” line. But swapping the valves and line together would definitely get your car moving! Give me a holler when you’re ready to start changing out some parts!

DUDE THAT IS AWESOME!!!

Got to say this brought me back to my high school days. Not for the car but that Honda scooter you have in the background of the shop. .ine got me back and forth to school.

Definitely give us a holler when you’re ready! I think the ‘60 has a bit less space in that cargo area, but I’m sure we can come up with a tank setup that will fit.

Say man, Oct 2 2022. I noticed when you were working on the Brookwood, your Jack stands are not up to safety spek. The tab that is not to the part that rises up needs to be tapped in so they are more stable. The U shaped tab, take a hammer and chisel and tap it in. Keep up the good work. Love the car.

So I’m working on my wife’s 61 biscayne 4dr flattop. Fully bagged and had stock wheels on it. We replaced them yesterday for some 14x7 reverse lip spokes and in the short ride home at normal ride height it rubbed the passenger rear white wall completely off. Rear end is centered. What can be done to clearance it enough to not do this to another new tire?

@twistedimages405

Жыл бұрын

With a reverse 7” wheel it’s going to hard to keep it from rubbing at all heights with the panhard bar setup- even with an adjustable bar it will want to rub at full lift or drop. I’d probably recommend a y-bone setup to eliminate the panhard bar completely- this will keep the axle centered at all heights. The other option would be to narrow the axle, but a y-bone is a lot less expensive!

You’re not going to get the speed out of a manifold setup- the internal ports are just too small to get big flow. Swapping the manifold to individual valves mounted at each corner would speed things up significantly, even with 3/8” line. This car is running 1/2” line for even more speed
