1959 Impala Restoration - Removing Suspension Bushings, Rebuilding the POSI Axle! +More Fun! (PT4)

On today's episode of the 1959 Impala restoration, we demonstrate a DIY method to remove rubber suspension bushings from control arms, and also tear down and rebuild a factory 3.36 ratio Posi rear axle. In the next video, I will show a DIY method to remove the control arm bushing metal shells without a press, sand blast & paint the control arms, and reinstall bushings & finish out the build on the axle. Slowly but surely this 1959 Chevy impala is coming back to life, and I hope you find it enjoyable to follow along with! In addition, I pick up a really nice 1960 Chevy Brookwood wagon which will be a will it run style video at a later date, and I have 2 friends from Sweden stop by in their Chevy ramp truck they bought and are driving across the country with!

You’re lucky to have mechanic friends to help you out and show you the right way to do things.

[@finfan83]

Look at Ryan bringing us magic and engineering in one episode ! And of course everything in benefit of the '59 Chevy ! 29:01 - omg, a power window ! Push it ! Push the pushbutton ! It needs to be pushed !

[@ronbunker5778]

It's exciting seeing you getting your frame components and rear end going. It's starting to come together nicely!

[@denislandry7577]

Nice to have an older guy to teach you the ropes I’ve been there and it’s Sherly paid off

[@IowaClassicCars]

For sure!

[@robertgastreich9846]

Another great how-to video. I am watching and learning at the same time you are. Norm is a great help to you. Can't wait to see the next video you put out on this building of the 59 Impala Restoration. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks man 🤝😎

[@auaiao9]

Andrew is a talented man.

[@bennyhelgeson401]

I have small wire wheel attached to end of all thread rod which I chuck in drill to clean axle tubes on old rear ends, I enjoy your videos on this build because it is much like most rodders working alone. Thanks

[@IowaClassicCars]

Great tip!

[@billdavis1730]

Ryan, you have a talented community of people working with you in many of your videos, great to see them sharing their knowledge with you and us. Really enjoying the step by step rebuild on the '59. The Brookwood looks amazing; it looks as if all the glass is intact! Hope the floors and frame are decent! Looking forward to the next installment!

[@IowaClassicCars]

Man never had a bushing come out that easy.

[@danielsample770]

I really like the 60 wagon😊

[@donaldhalls2189]

Mate we aren't all genuineness and know what to do before we have done it 😂😅 it's great having someone who is willing to share their knowledge, My grandfather stop teach old ways because it will become obsolete, and we needed to change to White Man's teaching, Greed, and writing etc, cherish the teaching while you can,thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@Raycr]

When you have access to someone like Norm, listen and learn. Respect the time he can spend with you. You're doing that well Ryan.

[@IowaClassicCars]

That big Chevy rig is awesome! I wonder, if the boys were to plop an old car on the bed, would it sail to Sweden for free?

[@IowaClassicCars]

they did! lol they bought a 59 belair in missouri and hauled it down to florida!

[@chrispiazza7487]

@@IowaClassicCars Be foolish not to!

[@markrunyon5524]

30 years ago,I beat the bushings outta my 70 nova subframed 55 Studebaker front end with a 3lb. hammer.What was I thinking!Destroyed the front end.All to put drop spindles on with polyurethane bushings in them.All repaired by a real hotrodder,I embarrassed myself on that "money saving" stunt!

Why is classic American sheet metal so popular in other parts of the world?

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! 🍩🍩☕️👀😎👍. The reason was 0.30 to 0.35 by 1977 metal was 0.20 ! Today you can dent it by pushing on it .

[@jerrybrooks870]

​@@debbiebermudez5890, some of the newest ones, I think you could dent them by breathing on them.

[@gregdiamond6023]

@@debbiebermudez5890 This explains why classic US cars are popular in other countries? Well, I’ll give the humorous response a B- but I’ll let Ryan handle this.😊

[@IowaClassicCars]

because the idea of big american cars says power & freedom and the style is unmatched!
