A tampered reamer on the spindle would fix your problem and have heavy duty ball joints too.

Onwards and upwards, You are doing a great job, Love the music, Go and enjoy the time out with Jimmy Hoffa and your friend, Thank you from the UK.

Ain’t that the way it always is one step forward and two steps back 😂

Hi Waylon. I ran into the same balljoint issue on a 65 C10. On the lowers I made a sleeve on the lathe with about .010" press and drunk fit them right on the balljoint, then the sleeve pressed into the A arm. Worked good. Just a thought for the future. Thank you for all the great content! 👍

See you in Des Moines, looking forward to finally meeting you in person after all these years.

hey Hi again Waylon ol buddy from the D Mi 😎 hey thanks for sharing another great video 👍🤩 and of course just saying one step forward and two steps back 😮😅 hey story of my life 😂

Thanks for sharing Your progress on the Dodgeillac Ken. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.

What a revolting development this is!

One problem w/ a 2 1/2 cutout is ,it may inhibit your ability to achieve light speed . 😮

Yep one step forward and four step backwards… Another good one 👍👍

Rat rodding is the best thing that has happened to hot rodding in many years. Hot rods became routinely boring in my opinion with their perfect tin and perfect paint jobs. Yours are perfect examples of the creativity and individualism that returned to hot rodding with rat rodding.

Keep going can u ream out the hubs to fit the ball joint

Oh, darn the luck Ken!! 😖 Sorry to hear about all the headache over the ball joints and a-arms. I liked the meme you added, I would be furious as well. Keep your head up though. Enjoyed the video and happy wrenching my friend 🔧

Thanks again for another cool video! I’m enjoying the progress. Cheers

Ken this is where that bead blast cabinet you never used would have came in handy!! Those parts would have cleaned up nicely and quickly!! Just saying!! But is good seeing you and suuuure do appreciate you!!

WOW what a let down on the ball joint confusion, but your hard at it and getting her done - perveance good stuff thanks Waylon - God Speed on your success getting this back on its feet and running.

It's awesome though seeing new painted parts going on and new parts even if it was the wrong parts you will get her all perfect once again

If you can't laugh at these situations then something ain't right. 🙉🙈🙊😂 Some people say I'm INSANE seeing all my laughing fits. Often times, I wonder if they are right⁉ 😂😱🤔🙃😎

"I think I'm going to have to fix my equipment...this is not good" hehehehe if I had a nickel for every time that happened to me...

Hey Mr. Waylon you’re a pretty tough guy. You roll with the punches and deal with the hardships as they come. Thanks for taking us along for the journey. Keep up the good work Sir.

Your using 20 series control arms. Change the ball joints and it will work.

cant put the smaller ball joints in the bottom a arms..

I’m planning on being in Des Moines on the 5th to meet you and Jimmy Hoffa

It is at times like this when a thumbs up or thumbs down just aren't enough. I Enjoy watching your victories and defeats as I am sure most of your watchers, like me, have been through the same dilemmas. I just hate hitting the like button on a video that shows so much disappointment. Hang in I know you have the solution rattling around in the old coconut. :-)

Buying any type of replacement auto parts online is like a game show.Not everyone can be a winner. But even at your local parts store if the editors didn't catch the mistake before it is part of the parts lookup software that is common to many companies. many people will get wrong parts. When we used catalogs, the first guy to face an angry customer wrote in the margin to warn the other employees (usually) *cannot do that now Tsk, progress Moral: if you buy a front suspension rebuild kit,check to see if the pre-installed ball joint shafts fit into your spindle/knuckle.If it includes other suspension parts-check them too. Ken is such a mild-mannered man- if you turn wrenches and this (bs) happens you know the profanity that's part of the Grease & Grime, you betcha Correct Parts! Maybe! Maybe Not! Success=Equal parts dedication inspiration motivation determination and perspiration VERY informative show,Ken.

Looking good. This time you are building her up you know how good it's gonna turn out. Best wishes

Thanks for another great video.

Webb called me and said there was a fire near you the other day. I looked it up online and saw where it was about 25 acres. I was going to crack a joke about you starting it but I know fire is a pretty touchy subject these days so I'm just glad it didn't affect your place. The old rat rod is starting to take shape!

Thank you for the post there , Waylon ! Seems nowadays , even when they have all of the right information , someone isn't paying enough attention . Maybe use the heavier spindles , or ream the taper holes to the size of new ball joints . Always something . It sure does look a lot better . You will get it , you always do . Enjoy your trip , Ken ! I appreciate ya , & remember , it's not the quantity of the progress , it's the quality of the content . Yours is top shelf , Ken . God bless , & enjoy the ride my friend .

When you things get bad. All you have to do is take a look at that 63 Impala of yours.. That will make anyone smile.. 😃 Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Certainly the way she goes! I certainly know that well. Coming along nicely Ken!

Enjoyed the video Ken. Isn't that the way it goes. One step up and five back. Sounds like stuff around here in NC. You will get there. Hang in there. Beautiful place and also out by your fish pond. You be safe and God bless.

Nice fishing pond I wish it better luck on your Hot Rod thank you for the video

Thanks for taking us into the garden. It's been a while.

Why can't you take your spindle in to a machine shop and have them nureld out to the size you need then you could use heavy duty ball joints (not sure if the price off set is same)

My Grandkid purchased a 2004 Silverado with a 12" lift kit. 2 Wheel drive? Yes 2 Wheel drive? They had 1/2 ton Balljoints, slopped in a 3/4 ton Lift spindle. Aftermarket crap. I seen him driving this contraption and made him PARK IT RIGHT NOW! Reverse of what your situation is. Remember the old saying... THROWING A HOT DOG DOWN A HALLWAY...

Might just be me but I'd be reaming out those spindles to fit those ball joints after all that work, just what you get with mail-order

have you thought about drilling the spindles with a tapered drill

BEAUTIFUL HOMESTEAD!

Slipping air line inside an irrigation line...Waylon that's a good think!AL B.

Thanks for sharing Ken. Great job

You know what they say about third times a charm! Well the 2nd time is hard enough! Hopefully no third time in this. I’ll bet it will be improved and better this time Waylon!

Howdy Waylon

Why not just get the spindle assemblies that match the bigger ball joints?

The wrong ball joint! Dang I say..... Dang again. That's just unacceptable! I'm gonna complain to Cutworm59 about that !

Thanks for sharing this video with us

I hope you have a good trip.

It's too bad that you can't mill down those lower ball joints to make the taper smaller.

Thanks for the video Waylon.

I love your Koi pond.

A tri drill bit and opend the lower hole out a little , and you will be qs good as gold. That's what I did with my truck in 2015 and hasn't been any problems as of yet. Just an idea...

It’s just a rat rod !

Thanks Waylon!🐾

Yup , giving the Dodgillac lots of love and money, then getting bit in the azz...just the way it goes sometimes!

@14:49... When you had that big wrench on and put your foot on the bench; I expected some sort of Wyle E. Coyote event to happen! Regarding the control arm ball joints... As Jeff Bradshaw would say: PHOOEY! (or is it FOOEY)? Wait, last video for July?

hi Ken its all uphill some times but hang in there it will come good am sure thanks for your time still love the good an the bad keep your chin up and roll on my man the good times are coming🤞

Can try swapping the actuator from the new cut out to the old 3" vavle body. Going smaller won't effect flow much but will probably change the tone and or add a baffling sound!

No problem on-the diameter early corvettes had a 2/1/2 or 2/34 exhaust pipe s 365 horsepower and why not my friend,!!’waylons never failing

I feel ya on the 1 step forward and 3 steps back but. I'm getting back to the rat rod radio flyer go kart and all I've done is cut up more stuff than put anything together! Are you flying back out of KC? I could be free tomorrow night back in town if so

I think somewhere somehow your part of my family 😜,the big give away is your luck 🤞. Yeppers it's true 🤣.

alot of work, good video

Hey Waylon, Do your self a little bit of looking at wiring this time? Have you ever seen or looked into a Painless wiring harness for your Rats? Could be the way to go?

I’ve been getting the wrong parts lately myself 😤 very upsetting

Hope you enjoy the car show it will be good for you to get away for a day or two

Advance Auto or Auto Zone rents a ball joint tool se remove / replace . Or Harbor freight has one . With that the lower ball joints are no problem . Press out / press in ... At the end did ya mean June ... LOL ...

Hey Waylon, I am thinkin your eyecromiter is needin a tune up ! Ya really should have noticed them new ball joints not bein the same as the burned out ones. Well, the milk is spilt so let's clean up and move on. Your fans is right behind ya ! Ya gettin it, ya just ain't got it yet ! ( RRB )

2 steps forward and 3 steps back... That's the way it is working for me on the Goofy Cart steering changeover. Nothing is just a "swap" when we build our custom hot rods.
