Merry Christmas! If it's a numbers matching car and/or has rare options, I would keep it 100% original. Other than that, upgrades are ok.

Hey there's a jam nut on steering box. You can take some of the slop out there. My dad called it the worm gear.

You have to be really careful adjusting that set screw in towards the worm gear in the steering box. Tiny little adjustments. There is actually supposed to be some space so that it doesn’t dig into the worm gear and make things worse by causing extreme wear. 😎

You are a great son!

The 70 442 W30 is my bucketlist muscle car 👍

Merry Christmas from Queensland Australia.

I love Pop and son stories.

HEY! Good morning Dave! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!

Merry Christmas, guys.

Good morning dave merry Christmas and keep the great work

Merry Christmas Dave! Great video with Dad!

Your a lucky man I wish my dad was here I have a 70 camaro that I know he would love along with my 50 chevy four door fleetline

Dave your Dads 442 convertible is really cool! I think disc brakes and doing the steering things will make your Dads car drive really well with the suspension upgrades you have done. Back in 1980 a local Guy had a 1970 Matador Red 442 Convertible. It had 100K miles and had done a bit of street racing in it's time. Overall the car was solid but smoked a bit if you punched it. However a pretty much all original car that was starting to be a bit tired. The Guy wasn't interested in selling but I wanted that car really bad and finally put together a deal he would accept. I did a two year restoration of the 442 and it was a blast to drive. Of course back in the day the original Matador Red wasn't on the menu. When we repainted it I went with a Chrysler Garnet Red Miracryl paint with a W30 wing and the car really popped! And the engine got the full treatment and it was fast for those times! One of the top three cars I have ever owned!

The first time I drove my Uncle's '68 Mustang California Special (100% Factory Original), I had my first experience with four-wheel drum brakes! 😱😱🤣🤣

One sweet '64! Definitely get a set of inner & outer tie rod ends, maybe new sleeves too, and an idler & Pitman arm(or new center link if GM). HUGE difference when slop is taken out! Bitchen QA1 components too! Thanks Dave, and Merry Christmas!

Thankyou for your videos bro, you are inspiring me to get back to work on my project car 🔧

Dave, so nice to be able to do things for our parents. Mine are gone now and I miss them. You are a good son.

Merry Christmas Dave.

You really have it looking nice under there Dave. Nice father and son project.

Definitely needs a disc brake upgrade at some stage.

Redhead steering box and upgrade the rag joint to a u joint! Tightens these old GMs up a lot!

My buddy had a 64 when we were in high school.

You're supposed to replace the tie rod ends BEFORE you do a wheel alignment.

I was sorely tempted to point that out. I'm sure the shop offered no warranty on that "alignment".

That sweet reaction from your dad is priceless ❤

Neat I live like a rock's throw away from QA1.

It is very cool seeing Dave coming from Motionautotv and starting his own thing.

Merry Christmas Dave and family, would of been interesting to see a side by side weight comparison of new for old parts, I should think the QA1 components saved a good bit of weight overall , love your OCD for doing things right Dave makes it a channel worth watching 👍🏼

Merry Christmas Dave, all the best to you and yours this holiday season !!

You should check the rag joint that could cause the loose feel in the steering

Pretty sure Baer Brakes has a bolt-on disk brake package that will fit under your stock rims.

Merry Christmas dave. Do a hell cat disc brake conversion on that

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Dave driving dad's Olds: Runs great, sloppy Dave's mind: Could use Hellcat swap, Trackhawk swap, microwave glovebox, carbon removable hard top... Merry Christmas!

Jesus would be the best Christmas gift if he came in the clouds to pick me up go to the best banquet party ever if ur a believer u know what I mean those who want to save there life will loose it in the end Jesus is the reason wish he would come back on his birthday would be ammazing

They’re called ball joints not bushings, tie rod ends not steering bushings and brake hoses not brake lines…. Just thought an engineer should use the proper vernacular.
