What’s a good quality antenna link?

I have an issue with a 82 antenna. I’m sure it’s a quality issue.

Love this video of the entire build. I so sorry for the loss of Noodle she was adorable and obviously loved. I liked all the ups and downs you had as that’s really the way life is. I think it was worth the doing the sight unseen, mostly because you did all the hard work and I got to watch lol. Keep up the great content. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

I gotta say, I really like this car. I know it must be bitter sweet because I remember the other 58--which anyone would have to admit was in unbelievably good condition. But this car has presence. I'd definitely like to see more content.

Hi Ben, I have a '54 Bel-Air with the original Powerglide and from a standing stop, I feel it shift at around 15 mph. I can't tell if there's a second shift or not. As far as I can tell, the tranny. is fine. I've had the car for 7 and a half years. I've had other Chevy's of this vintage with the Powerglide, and they all were about the same.

Basically exactly the same as when I did it on my '69 Camaro only it has big block coil springs which are considerably more spicy.

Nice to see that old Cheby. I had a 58 convertible back in 1963. It had a bored out 283, cam and 3 -2bbl Stromberg carbs. Three speed trans with a Hurst shifter. It had dump tubes and a 4:11 rear end. I removed all the chrome, filled in the holes and painted it dark metallic blue. White top, thin white walls, black wheels with baby moon hubcaps.

She's the same age as I, give her some time. Takes us old farts a minute to get moving after sitting a while...

I'm already envyous of the power steering. My 58 Delray has armstrong steering, which make for a lot of fun in tight parking lots.

The trans would be a 2-speed "Power-Glide", sometimes nick-named "Sour-Glide".

YES Continue with the 58 until you are satisfied. Clean up and shocks will make a world of difference. You may be surprised. Great so far.

It's a PowerGlide,not a TurboHydraMatic ,my Dad's '63 BelAir shifted from Low to Drive at 30mph under normal conditions, 45 under hard acceleration.

The car might have the Turboglide transmission which was available in 1958. Dad had a 1960 Bel Air with the Turboglide and would always win bets when he told folks that they couldn't tell when it shifts. Dad was Air Force and we drove that car across country a couple of times between transfers and three years in Germany. Never any issues with the transmission.

It’s a power glide. You can tell from the shift quadrant. PG has L. Turbo glide has Gr for Grade Retarder.

@@pclayton5063 my mom was dating a mechanic who worked in the Chevy dealership back in that time. He did transmission rebuilds as part of his regular job, and he said that one of the things that was a real problem was you could rebuild those turbo glides and all it took was, and this is the part that’s fuzzy in my memory, all it took was doing one thing wrong after they rebuilt it and installed it and it wiped the turbo glide out again. And the thing that they did wrong with something, again, I wish I could remember what it was, but it was something so simple. It was like you forgot to run it through the gears before you actually let the car move and that would burn up something in it and then you have to take it all apart again.

its a powerglide on easy acceleration it shifted at 12 - 15 mph (that's my memories)

Funny how your first bel air got me to find your channel in the first place, and now you have gotten a second one, it was really interesting to see how brought the first one back to life, now I hope you will give this one a chance also. 🤞👍🤗

Great Job! A fine example of "Old School" still working 🙂 ♥♥♥♥ It was built like a tank and will run for ever! Keep the TLC going 🙂 My parents had a '58 Biscayne. I think it was one step below the Bel-Air. Loved that car!

That trans shifts around 30, 45 under harder acceleration. Just low and direct drive. Easy way to tell, take it up to around 45 under normal acceleration and put the selector in low and feel for the gear change.
@drfalcon4102 6 күн бұрын
those old cast iron Power slides, had to have the passing gear linkage adjusted just right or they will not shift,,,, I had a 56 that I got for 80 bucks, and that was all that was wrong with it,, rusty as heck, but ran well,, sold it for 300.
