THIS…is automotive bliss! You, your Dad and your dog that you had since third grade doing your things in an automotive setting is heaven! Precious memories!

I really like how you and your dad worked so well together. These are some great videos you guys do.

I love the do it yourself mode. Been there and done that. After a few sets I realized that dropping the arms off at the machine shop and letting them press them out was so much nicer. Sure you paid some cash but they would be done and done right making beating out the bushings a long use of time when you could be doing other things. I always install a new timing set and oil pump on any used engine I have to install. Its cheap insurance.

That or having a harbor freight hydraulic press and heavy duty sockets, my buddy helps me out with that and for making our own brake lines he has a double flaring kits and we either save the fitting or go to autozone and also he has a coil spring compressor, he helps and sometimes I'm the hold the tools guy

It is so satisfying to see a great old rig get freshened up like this. I love that you keep it old looking.

Thanks for saving the 60. The progress shows the desire and dedication in bringing back what can only be called the best decade for owning an American made automobile. And thank you for sharing it on uTube!

I own a 1960 Elcamino with a 327 but it's three on the tree. I did my suspension work with a press seems alot easier but you need to make some adapters. I also used Energy suspension bushings . One tip the bolts that clamp the bushings should be tightened only when the car is fully assembled and all weight is on the wheels. By tightening them up with the control arms lowered they will bind up once they move up with the vehicle weight on them.

That's correct about having the weight on the suspension before tightening.

I see so much hack work don't on KZread it's really really really nice to see good honest work still being done how I would do it. Just awesome man

I really like watching you and your dad do this together!

I just got done doing all the same stuff on my 64 Impala with a 327... minus the 11 heli coils lol.

I would've been too nervous to spray the engine red so close to the car, love that patina on the body.

I really enjoyed the one-on-one camera time with Rick while he started the helicoils. I can't believe someone buggered up the intake bolt holes so bad like that. All that stuff they did to that engine...just makes me wonder. So glad you and Rick saved it and did 'er right.

pop knows his stuff 🏁👍

Great grit, determination, and common sense in your efforts to refurbish this classic. Good luck in finishing this project. Be Safe - please wear a mask when scraping rust off .

Been Waiting for this This is going to be so Cool when your done whith it 😁👍👍👍

HOT DAM y’all kicked that master cylinders ass! I’d a been about 10minutes in and threw up my hands and said “eff it! Order a new one”!! Well done!! Nice trick cutting the threads and putting a bolt in there. I learned something!!

Enjoyable, as usual! Lot of work, but you and your dad are motivated!

I love ElCamino's, the 1959 is my favorite

The audio quality is greatly improved. And I appreciate the ratio of work to talk. Well done. A slide hammer might have made pulling the master cylinder apart easier once you tapped it and had the bolt in place. Great level of progress and I enjoyed watching you both work well together.

Glad to see you do new freeze plugs. So many times seen guys not on a used motor and end up with leaks. Same with a quick internal inspection and reseal. Myself I have never used the rubber end seals on the intake. Just a good bead of silicone left to skin over really well and carefully set the intake. Never had a leak and that was on some high horsepower engines.

Boy, does this hit home! i have been in love with 1960 Chevys since I was 10. I'm 72 now. I've owned over twenty 60's. One '59 El Camino and six 1960 El Camino's. I have only one '60 left, a Tasco Turquois Impala 2 dr hardtop which I bought in July, 1999. Totally rust free with 80,000 miles on it now, unrestored. I'm looking forward to your videos and subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much!

Wow that’s really cool thanks for sharing tim.

You might have to change front yoke on driveshaft and also change driveshaft if this car was an automatic, I had to change yoke to install a 69 TH350 in my 60 Impala, but I found a driveshaft from a 4 speed car which did the trick, perfect fit, both length and yoke. Just a hint, I'm sure you probably know this. Nice work, love the 60 Chevys. Will be good to see this one run. (I still have my Impala, have owned it for 50 years, it's a keeper)

Very nice to watch this ! I am a pensioner in Sweden and renovated some American cars over here. Much can be done with simple handtools. Have a nice renovation.

I really enjoy the father son working together and especially what you are doing with the El Camino. FYI, the ball joints have been replaced, that's why they bolt in, factory has rivets, occasionally on old A frames the new bushings will occasionally slide side to side, if so just hit them with a little spot weld. Next time on the master cylinder use a bolt like you did but put a nut on it and a socket or a piece of pipe and make a puller, also put some air pressure in the back but be careful the plunger will occasionally fly out with the air pressure. Great job guys, just fun to watch, keep it up.

@theetravisb

Жыл бұрын

Yeah you’re right they have been replaced good eye

Enjoying seeing the 60 E/C. One suggestion...you need to loosen the a-arm bushing bolts back up, just so they aren't tight, and wait until the car is assembled, and with the car sitting normally with the full weight of the car on the tires, before tightening the bushings back up to torque spec. Just before you tighten them, bounce the front end of the car up and down a few times, which helps settle the bushings to a natural position prior to torquing them. The bushings, as they are now are tightened with the a-arms hanging down, will be binding when the weight is put in the car and it's sat back down on the ground, which will hold the car up in the air a bit, and stress and wear the bushings prematurely.

Myself I've been working on these old cars for a long time. I would have put a new oil pump in it. But that is to my own preference. It is good to save these old cars because they all have a soul and a story to tell. It's nothing like Americana like a 1960 El Camino!

Great job guys, I enjoyed the picture show.

You should have mentioned your trick to hold the fuel pump rod, I noticed you turning in a bolt in the front motor mount hole to hold the rod while you install the fuel pump. I learned that trick years ago but there are many people do not know you can use a longer bolt in to hold the rod but then you have to put a shorter bolt in the hole to seal the hole after you have installed the fuel pump. I use an installer to mount the harmonic balancer, so it does not get damaged by hammering it on.

Those are really good old cars to get back on the road. You and your dad make a good team. Would like to see more on this Elcamino. It has come a long way!

Thanks for another great show! Rebuilding whatever you can instead of replacing parts, cool. The original brake master cylinder was tough, but is righteous! It will be a little tougher drive, but a more ATHENTIC driving feel. And that pushrod and those main bearings oughtta be just fine!

Guys. Why on earth did you struggle with that SINGLE line master cylinder???? They make a nice vac booster, master, proportion valve kit that bolts right on. You run new lines to the front, use the old single for the back. Much safer. Just did that to mine last summer. Very nice kit. Good luck. 👍😁

It is a nice upgrade.

Awesome to see everything on the front end cleaned and painted, but one question is why not use your impact wrench to take apart some of the bolts, like lug nuts and even smaller ones, I do it for lawnmower repair, you and your dad are good team, working on the master cylinder I can see you guys need to get that vise bolted down better, watching you work the master it reminds of myself without better tools, but sometimes it doesn't help, like on my ford taurus we had to knock the lower ball joints out to get at the front wheel bearings as you could get the bolts to start but not enough room come out, and the ball joints were a bitch, like seeing your progress and blacken up everything you can get at to make what's good last 60 years

Love it!

Those are the largest pair of channel locks I have ever seen when you were removing the oil filter and did you run any episodes on the cushman? My buddy is selling a turtleback and I'm tempted to bite

Not updating the brakes? Master cylinder and disc brakes on front? I know it throws off the rim with a disc brakes. Those things aren't necessary but they sure are nice. 327 fantastic. No better engine in my book. I've got 4 door hardtop with hardly any miles on it. We still have my dad till 60 what's not rusted away sitting down back as well. You and your dad working on these vehicles especially the 60 makes me think back. These are some great times that you have.
