Very cool. I hope you get started on your project soon. I’m hoping to finish building this car on the channel soon. I really want to drive it. Any time something comes with instructions that’s pretty cool lol. Thanks for watching.

That’s great and very cool ride. Tci makes great stuff. Glad to hear you’re getting your money out of that old hot rod. Thanks for watching.

@@americannostalgiagarage It's my everyday car. 700R4 & 3.08 gears, loves the interstate.

@@paulhare662wow that’s great. A 65 wagon as a daily driver is legendary. Very cool.

Ahh. I gotcha. Thank you for the heads up. What did you end up doing just replace the heim joints every once in a while?

@@americannostalgiagarageno I actually sold it to a friend of mine and I got a 67 nova I’m working on right now, on it I went with a Heidts snout and some other brand rotors and control arms aka “China made”

Well we don’t want that, on second thought it sounds fun.

Luckily this kit was well though out enough we’re the lower control arm bolt can come out either direction. It’s just a threaded shaft with nuts on both ends. Thank you for your help.

Other issue i had with this kit is somehow it moved my engine forward almost an inch, and the right camber was too negative even without any adjustment shims at the arm. I had to buy adjustable upper arms to get it into spec

How do you like the kit overall? Did it improve the car a lot?

I had cbr lowers with manual drums and steering. The new manual rack and sicks with corvette master is a pretty gd improvement. Mainly in the engine bay servicability as well. I only have about 80kms on mine so far. I think the price is right. Still need to figure out trans crossmember as the subframe moved my engine forward. CPP can not explain why that happened and i havent pinpointed where the issue is yet either, but i do know the sheet metal lined up fine. I also cut the original tops off of the stock shock towers to use as hood hinge supports and fender support instead of buying them seperate

Discs*

Thank you for the information. It was tough without instructions but manageable.

You ain’t kidding. I’m a top notch procrastinator. Thanks for watching.

Thank you very much and thank you for watching.

Hmm I didn’t see any studs there. Thank you for the info though.

Interesting. Mine came with long bolts with a head on them.

I had same problem. I used a regular bolt for that spot and then found the threaded studs at the end. Weird

Yeah I just went out and bought some good hardware to replace what was missing. Just used regular bolts

You’re absolutely right. Big upgrade regardless. I was thinking about taking the extra parts and just welding them on in random places on the car just to throw people off hahaha. I’m excited to drive this thing soon. Thanks again for watching.

I always carry an anchor for this purpose anyway.

If you’re going with the anchor you have to have a trunk monkey to make that work. I live in Oregon and this car dealership came up with these outrageous adds about trunk monkeys. They’re on you tube check ‘em out.

I thought the same thing but the control arms were in the correct place. If I put them on the wrong sides the caster would be positive and it would drive crazy lol. Once the control arms were at ride height there was clearance between then and the shock body. Tighter than I’d like to see but none of that stuff should move. Thanks for watching!

I bought the kit with the inner fenders by have not yet installed them I wish I could offer some help I’m just not sure. Thanks for watching

Thank you. I’m glad to hear it helped you. Luckily I did not have to cut my springs. One thing I will say is that the ride height not being adjustable makes me want to swap out the coils for coil overs. So if you haven’t purchased your kit yet I would say you’d be better off with the coil over. Good luck with your build and thank you for watching.

That’s weird. After the video I ate the whole tub. Even cracked open another tub for seconds. And I felt fine. Hahaha just kidding

Oh boy. Well I’m invested now. What would you say are the biggest differences/drawbacks?

The ball joints are at an odd angle and the greese boots are already cracking apart....I ordered there could overs and new lower a arms to see if I can get the ball joints to aligne a bit better. I had the same issue with the could spring touching my shock aswell....I called and the tech guy told me the springs need time to relax a little. Lol. Alston by far has been the best quality unit I've done.... I'm helping my buddy do a church boys next month on his 66 barn find.

@@Zr1Destroyer will this be your first with Church Boy Racing? I am thinking of going with their front suspension kit.

Tough to say at the moment on the count of I’m not finished with the car and haven’t driven it yet. But I will say that this was pretty complete. Off the top of my head the only things I needed to complete this installation was a steering column but I could have cut the old steering shaft and welded a u joint on, and power steering pump, reservoir and lines. So not too much extra. This kit was cheaper than all the other I was able to find that were about the same design. I would say that I’m happy with it. I think it should perform nicely for the amount I paid. Thanks for watching.

Good old KZfaq. I should have searched it here. Thank you.

That’s awesome. Yes I did reuse my stock rad support. I was on the fence about replacing it but mine was in decent condition so I saved the money. Thanks for watching.

What I ended up doing as keeping the caliper bracket bolted to the backside of the spindle. The caliper was a bit closer on the outer pad than it was on the inner pad but they are 4 piston calipers so the calipers will accommodate for the tolerances. As long as the pads fit in there loosely you’re ok. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for watching either way.
