@newtonfirefly3584 2 жыл бұрын

@JJ; Also remember thinking that brakes were something just for the brake shop experts and was inhibited though am very mechanical. Then, during my mechanics course at the University, brakes and many other aspects became clear how very simple they are to work, on especially, disk brakes compared with drum, though they are not difficult either. Thus, everyone that has some basic mechanical ability can easily replace the pads, and frequently, before any damage to the disks occur. Often, if the pads are allowed to wear to much, the disk surface can become damaged, and need resurfacing, but not replacement. Am actually very surprised to see that these disks had such warping damage with the relatively short usage, time period. Also they are not well vented disks that higher performance vehicles have. Still, though, my 1979 MB 280E, when purchased from the original owner, in 1989, with all repair documentation, excellent condition, 125k miles, had perfect disks on all four axles. Also my other Japanese vehicles from Toyota 1974, 5, 8, Mazda 1976, never had any such issues with the disks warping with multiple times more mileage and years. Those disks were also simple design and manufacture similar with what these look like. All The Best and Much Success in Your Quest, DIY work, Health and Well Being. Sincerely

Excellent content as usual. As an avid viewer, I just have one request: You partner with a lot of these vendors that do amazing things. Can you please give us a cost rundown of how much some of these operations would be?

@chrisjohannes179 Жыл бұрын

I have a feeling that he trades a lot of work with these other vendors and shops in the Chicagoland area which is really cool and kind of the old school way of operating in a community. Because of that though, I don't think Alex could provide a cost breakdown like that. For example, he might be trading a tune up from his garage for a full detail done by their shop.

Make the chrome surround around the side windows into "black chrome" like the 20" wheels. It's an impressive effect! Your wheel guys should be able to help you to do that.

Great job, Alex!! The transformation is transformative! Lol Since you asked, if it were mine, I would carbon fiber the door handles, have the window chrome surround painted to match the wheels and smoke the side marker. Thats just me, it honestly is awesome how you have it, I just think it would be a step up to do the three other things on the side profile. Full disclosure though, I am not a fan of chrome on newer vehicles. Vehicles from the 20’s to late 50’s I love it but not so much the newer styles.
