All your work is so nice to watch, keep it coming. (please show us the small pedal car in the rear)

During the early 60's I had a small shop in Long Beach, California, before it was popular, we used to buy our hydraulic parts at military surplus houses like Palley Supply Co. downtown Los Angeles, most of the military electric valves and pumps were 24 vdc. Made it tricky to charge the batteries on 12v then switch to 24v in operation. Fun times 😃 if you use an electric valve at each cylinder, it won't lean when you go around corners, Plus if a hose breaks" the cylinder will still hold fluid and the car won't drop on the ground when your on the freeway !! Weld a shock mount next near each cylinder then the car won't bounce all over everytime you hit a bump! Your Machining of all your parts is REALLY Great, 😃 Great Video, Thanks

just found your channel. Love everything about it. Thanks for not blaring music and grinding during the parts you're working and not talking

Seriously, a genius at work. The fact that you have CAD acumen as well as machinist skills is humbling. I'm just torching and hitting with a hammer and hoping things work. Incredible fabrication skills, vision, and another great tutorial! Keep moving forward!

back 30 years ago we just drilled a hole sideways through the cylinder and welded a cup on the top of the donut to hold the spring. now we have reverse cups and power balls, the absolute best way to do it. Not only was coilover desired many years ago to keep long cylinders from breaking out the back window, it simply kept the spring from falling out. Been building lowriders for over 30 years and never "needed" a torch. It is helpful but not mandatory

Hey Karl, you sure made it look easy. All the right tools and the knowledge you share, helps us all. Can't wait to see the caddy done. Take care and be safe.

Fantastic Karl yup coilover defo the way to go on that👌👌👍👍

Very interesting. Have never worked with hydraulics before and always wondered. Love learning new things. Too cool. Any reason why you never put a spring pocket on the top to keep the spring centered in the mount?

Glad you decided to partially box in the trailing arms. That greatly increased their strength. That's a heavy boat!

Brilliant work as usual. Nice to see how you are bringing it together. I am surprised you didn't plate the top of the trailing aims. Keep up the great content. 👍🇬🇧

More great work. Always nice to hear you explain a decision change and how it affects the build.

You really explained the set up well. It was hard for me to picture it in my mind, but once I saw it all done I can process it. I'd never seen someone install hydraulics in a car before. I recently had some one tell me I should do it to my 91 Olds 88... But I actually want to put a 3" lift kit on it to put some truck tires on it (look up towrolla puddins fab shop). It's just my daily beater ride... Dents galore from when a tree fell on it.

One of my favorite cars! The 60 caddy coupe…….this is such a cool car…..can’t wait to see your wife driving it ! So much talent…..your a great teacher I love to watch your work……I’m 63 and been fooling with stuff all my life…..I learn things from every video……thank you for sharing !

Hey Karl I have never been into hydraulics at all but I figured if your building something I’m watching watching you for sure can’t wait to see kristinas car finished ! Thank you for showing us your skills once again

I love your passion for what you do, it's so inspiring

Now that's awesome I never knew how they went together and worked. That's pretty simple as far as putting them in. Thank you for sharing your skills with us. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family.

Beautiful torch work, every time I watch your episodes I learn something more about how intelligent you are.👍❤️🇨🇦

Nice work man!👍

Your delighted and I'm delighted to watch a very talented young man. Enjoyed the tip with regards the the cutting out the top strengthening plate. Great piece of fabrication/engineering. Always willing to learn something new. Thank you both for sharing.

That is cool.. I didn't understand when you started the video.. But now I understand completely thank you 👍👍

Kristina is going to have one sick caddy when you're done. Just endless talent from you Karl. Keep up the great work, loving these videos.

That is some smart engineering right there through and through! :D

I always wondered how all that works. Thank you for your time.

lookin kool cant wait till its finished

I am more familar with off road suspension mods, but this is such a cool setup. I'm now thinking of all the applications I can see this used in. thanks for another great video.

Thanks for sharing, I watched the video twice, because I wanted to fully understand and appreciate how you wanted it to work. After you assembled and pressured the cylinders I understood why you had to do certain things. Thanks again Carl,great video.

Looks awesome. Great work When I was doing this ages ago, I would run 2" over outers on the rams to get more stick through. So, if you're running a 10" cylinder on the rear, the outer casing would be a 12" casing. Just added a bit of stability and kept the fittings away from the mounts.

I look forward to your videos . Your explanations are clear and easy to follow .Thanks Jim from Ontario

didn't realize I had missed this part to the hydraulics. Glad I caught it to see what you did. There was so much going on with the front hydraulics I just didn't realize! Great job!

Nice work always a pleasure watching the way you do things . Have a good day

Nice job again Karl, you make it look quick and easy 👍😎

Karl, That was very informative about hydraulics. I do not have any knowledge about that style of system. Ready to see the build continue on your next video.

Hell yeah! I had a 89 Mazda truck. I put 4 pumps, 12 batteries and 12 switches. Broke a lot of shit and learned a lot along the way😂

Thanks C.F.. never understood how it could ride well with hyd. Your a great teacher.

I find this fascinating. 30 years ago i wanted to build custom cars,but never got there. In the last few years, i have been shifting my auto repair business towards working on classics and rods. I charge less money, mostly because i like it and take my sweet time enjoying working on them. Buddy’s 1969 gmc wants to be lower, so this is relevant. Amazing setup for sure,love it. Can’t wait to see the front end drop.

I knew you would rethink that first plan 🧐 you sir are a excellent fabricator 👍 excellent job as usual 👍

That's a very ingenious method of setting up your hydraulics. I think you're really going to enjoy that rod.

That was a GREAT watch. I always learn from you man! Keep it rolling!

Karl fantastic job on the build!!!!! It looks very nice how you designed the spring pockets for the hydraulic cylinder’s. You have a fantastic sense of figuring out how to make things work.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍

The rear suspension lends itself well to hydraulics and or bagging. As always great execution. Nice welds!

Very awesome my friend!

Love your work and so glad you went coil over to keep the car nice and low with out cutting into the body 👌

Great work as always bud. Excellent description and step by step as well 👌🏼

Wow!...you are the Man. Love Watching You Work. Thanks for Sharing

Great way to explain that Hydraulic system

Killin it w the welder brother

If that ain't the cleanest set up for a caddy I've ever seen hats off

Awesome, excited to see the caddy laying out 👍👍

Excellent job Karl

Interesting project sitting in front of the Lincoln!

Beautifully done.

I enjoyed your teaching !😊

That's a pretty cool concept I wouldn't have thought of it myself sweet thanks for the videos always cool

Your work is excellent love watching your videos from the uk 🇬🇧👊🏻

Clean work as usual. Great work

Nice work and great design!

I’ve been waiting for this!!! Watching in the tv, commenting on my phone. Hahaha

thanks for this video , your demonstrations and examples make it very easy to understand way more than most of the other Hydraulic Channels I’ve watched i really like that you picked a fairly Common Frame to demonstrate on not because of it being a Cadillac but also being a Full Size GeneralMotors i myself am kind of leaning towards a S10 frame rebodied with something Unique i’ve seen some cool Hydraulic things on the Mini Truck Circuits i thought were Cool and still appeared to be a fairly normal operating vehicle which is nice because i do want a Driver

great video its hard to explain if your new to this! when you see it all makes sense! keep em coming Karl

Very cool set up!

Never seen that before. Real impressed, nice.

Your work is very neat a good lesson for people, take your time and enjoy your job,

Always Learning love it, keep up the GREAT work!

Sweet! Love your work!!

Brilliant idea using that little chunk of flat bar to walk the cutting torch around in a perfect circle, it’s amazing how nice a cut a guy can do with a torch. Up here in the rust belt my oxy torch is indispensable, I use it for everything. Can’t wait to see that caddy lay down on the ground, great video brother 👍

Thanks Karl,great info

As usual,💯 always doing fantastic work good job my friend.

Awesome fab work you make it look easy bro

Thanks for another great video.

Excellent video brother,thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

Is so cool to see you work :)

Karl, I can't help but think that you need something in the upper spring pocket to locate and keep the spring centered. Even though the body with it's weight will be pressing down the top of the spring will be able to wander around in the pocket and maybe even make for some squeaks and rattles when driving.

Wow that looks great fine job.😎

Nice job Karl , its coming along just peachy 😁😁🤘🤘🤘

Thanks for the hydraulic lesson, you learn something every day, well nearly 😜cheers Karl.

Great idea for circle cuts with the torch man!

Love it .you do awesome work .

Kristina is gonna be styling in that Caddy.

Really enjoyed the video, that looked like a easier install than bags.

More low (Moarlo)! Haven't heard that in a long time! :) Excellent job on the coil over rear. I've made a lip on the donuts to center the coil at the top too (like another cup but not as deep - 3/8" ish) - having the coil centered helps to keep the cylinder in the middle of the donut so you don't have to worry so much about the cylinder striking/rubbing the donut. The cylinder will still move around inside the donut as the arm moves up and down and the axle shifts but the strikes and rubbing don't happen as much.

Tamo na área!! Cadilac mais top !!🤜🇧🇷🤛!!mais um episódio pra conta

Somebody has some mad welding skills.

That thing is gonna be so cool!

Enjoyed this one alot 💯 % nice neat work...🙂👍🙏

Beautiful job. Bruno from France.

This is awesone thx for sharing 👏👏👏👏👏👍

Great show

Well done Mr. Fisher , I learned a lot in class today 👊

Cool trick with the torche

That plasmacam is the hot ticket for sure ! Enjoying your content a lot Carl ! Didn’t see any Canadian stars at the Detroit Autorama bummer !

It looks like a prying mantis in some way cool!!!! Great work!!!!

Karl, You have a very well thought out & engineered system. With your forethought into the engineering of this system, you should have a virtually flawless lift & lower. Thanks for sharing your thoughts & ideas on this. Stay Real Rick

Great Work 👍👍

thats a mean setup good work! cheers :)

Good quality work. It's a pity knowbody works like this anymore

I fn love it.. keep up the great work.

Owsome Carl. 👍🏻 Cheers. 🍻

Very cool setup, not being a low rider person, I’d never really thought it through. I’m wondering about cutting those stock rear springs, though. If, for example, you cut half the coils off, you double the spring rate, ie, pounds per inch of travel. Not sure you want to do that to keep that “Cadillac ride”. Conversely, reducing available travel means you NEED that increased spring rate to keep from bottoming on the slightest bump. I guess you’ll probably sneak up on how many coils you cut so you keep as much spring as you can and still get it to set the rockers on the ground. Really interesting to see this build! Thanks Karl!

Bang up job man!! 👏

Love your work. Just a tip. When I have worked with heim joints bolted between two pieces of tube, only one of the tubes is welded. This allows the other tube to slide and clamp on to the Ball of the heim.
