Don’t know what it is about your driving segments, but they’re like a fireplace…..just enjoyable to watch. Two things I noticed on this video… 1) That Tesla wanted some. 2) That wagon got some.
Neat behind the scenes visit to coilover shop. Always happy to see stuff made in the USA!
Hi Lucky. I’ve watched a handful of your videos and I love the content. You’re a knowledgeable guy with a good mix of wrenching and satire. If I have one comment it’s that you have a lot of ‘dead air’ in your videos. I find myself fast forwarding through them to see the parts installed and hear the next bit of useful talking. Thanks for what you do. -Chuck
I legit fell asleep listening to the shop truck on the highway lol😅... best few minutes of my life on youtube
That car has the original 2 piece front brake rotors!!! Good job Lucky and as always, thanks for sharing JT: Orlando FLA

Cool, thanks
Thanks for the update, Lucky.
I thought for sure you were gonna do a burnout when you left Aldan...Sure dodged a bullet there! Thanks for the vid, Lucky! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
This is what I need to do with our 67 Chevelle. I used 1250lbs front 350lb rear conventional springs from Speedway Motors The problem was I had to use 5 1/2 diameter front springs to achieve the rate I wanted but they rub inside the pocket and it’s hard to find shocks that control that stiff of a spring. This is definitely the way to go! Thank you!
Another great classic Lucky videos
Great looking Chevelle! Love the orange 🍊
Another good one. Thanks Lucky ✌

I ended up installing UMI tubular A arms and Aldan coilovers.
Enjoyed the dynamic camera angles while you worked. Sticks was on a break I see. Should of had him helping with the inventory up top?
5:03 High pitch whistle, lets you know the air-pump belt might still be riding on-top of the pulley. Fun-time power. 🏁👍
Now take the Chevelle to Willow Springs to test 'em out!
One day, the wife and I will have these on our 72 chevelle. Great video and work, brother.

I thought you were going to sign the driveway @12:57. Whoa, good thing you didn't, you must be psychic to know that cop was coming.
When these conversations are done I would have liked to have seen a side shot of the cars ride height before and after…
Ya make it look so easy!
Need a set of centerline centerset tens and skinny's for the 57
👍👍
Is it a drastic improvement in ride?
Buddy needed a rear sway bar upgrade while you had it open !
Did I miss it. What spring rate did you use on front and rear?
So the HOV lane is for High Output V8 vehicles. I didn't know that 😁.
I was hoping you'd clean up the engine compartment wiring before a fire occurs 😁
Is there a coilover that lets you keep the original exhaust with the resonators in the rear ? 69 Chevelle ?
When you were at Aldan American I see they have shock parts and assemble them but do they have equipment to machine parts in house? Also, while you were at it the undercarriage should of been cleaned and painted with bedliner coating.... I hate putting new parts with everything else looking nasty.
This is on my list of "to do", soon, did you add anti-seize to the coil over collars?

Alden does it when they build the shock
Why were all those cars standing still on the freeway?? In the first few minutes of the video.
Finigan and Friberger would not like you You were not on the side of the freeway puting off a door, ducktaping holes in the floor, out of gas, over heated, or such
Unrelated to car repair- whats the deal with the lift anchors coming out of the concrete so far? are they extra long or barely embedded?

I am in Pasadena. I have a 65 SS. I just got the carborator back from being rebuilt by Paul in Monrovia. I would like to get some suspension work done and few other things. I couldn’t find your shop online. Only your KZread stuff.
I guess Lucky doesn't know how to use a turn signal.

Thank goodness I was watching Joe Kenda at the same time. And I don’t really like Joe Kenda.
Personally I blame 👉🏻🐿️
