Man just look at that beam.... the hood doesn't even come close to making it out to the sides! Awesome era of heavy steel beasts! Your clientele are super freaky cool buddy. Lucky guy.
That was the one I was referring to. He said they were actually not going to use this but said fuck it and did it anyway as an educational video. He said he has people thanking him and commenting they upgraded their safety gear as well because of it. So good on him for that.
Well done bro that is a one off super sano ride!
I can tell you that pics and video do no justice for that car, whatever you see in that video it's 100X better in person
You can definitely see that car is absolutely flawless. I would really like to see it in person. Would really like to hang out at his shop. He’s got skills.
Thank you for the compliment. The Galaxie got donated to the Peterson museum. It is in the vault from what I understand. Sucks but at least I can claim a car we built is in the Peterson.
Sucks that the car is stuck in a museum. Absolutely phenomenal that your skills afforded you and your shop a spot in that museum. Hat's off to you bro. Amazing attention to detail.
500,001.... Sweet baby Jesus thats some build
You mean this one
It’s getting a vintage air set up. We are throwing the whole catalog at it.
The damn A-6 takes 20hp and 40ftlb's! They do work surprisingly well, even with 134a...but the factory condenser is bigger than most cars radiators
Don't forget about the York's that ford used. I think you only had about 20hp left after turning one of those onThe damn A-6 takes 20hp and 40ftlb's! They do work surprisingly well, even with 134a...but the factory condenser is bigger than most cars radiators

In the 90's, I was making brackets to put Yorks on Toyotas and Mazdas...air bag compressors.
Off road guys were and I think some still are using Yorks for compressors to fill small tanks to run toolsMy brother had a 66 Mustang, 6cyl AC car...made it through the desert many trips, but the AC cut mileage a 3rd
I tossed a couple NOS yorks in the dump last week. I decided to go this route if I don't sell it first.
Yep, we used to weld a bung into the roll bar and use that as the storage tank. Wire the mag clutch up to a pressure switch and you’re ready to run an impact, fill tires or blow the dirt off of whatever you need to be working on.
(Shameless Cheerleading!

… I have had quite a few GM vehicles with A 6’s… They always worked well… I forget which car it was on but I researched getting a rebuilt A6… from what I was told that may not work out so well…apparently if they have been to the rebuilder a few times… they are junk???…The damn A-6 takes 20hp and 40ftlb's!

… didn’t feel like they killed as much horsepower as A6’s???..,
The last one I got for a customer came from O'Reilly of all places! It worked all this summer, or I would have heard about it
…Really???… At time I heard about they can only take so much rebuilding…it was directly from the woman who owned the rebuilding shop in Van Nuys… I can’t remember the name of the shop… That was probably the late ‘90’s…when NOS A6’s… became pretty extinct..,The last one I got for a customer came from O'Reilly of all places!

That may be the first time I've seen a stock motor
They always showed up either devoid of power, or with a small block!
Put a turbo ecotec in that, they will make a reliable 350-375hp. Anything above 400 you need to upgrade the rotating assembly but are capable of 600+.

I found out changing the sparkplug in my 455 Firebird that was under that monster almost required a surgically implanted second wrist.
455 Firebird you say..... I had a neighbor with a TA 455 shaker hood manual.... I believe it was a '75 or '76 last year..... he gave me so much shit cause I had the '77 Smokey n Bandit dog. Now his could move.... mine was all show no go. There was just something about that 455.
