1964 IMPALA LOWRIDER CHASSIS TALK

Part 1 of 2. Full discussion of x frame lowrider reinforced chassis. Chrome molded. Lt motor. Ford 9 inch rear end. 13x7 wire wheels

[@fergusonfourn5061]

This is a work of art!! Excellent job bro.

[@mikealdag7309]

Labor of love , nice job bud , really great looking frame

[@ransavage4194]

This is the best frame of all KZbin. I’m sitting here watching taking notes. I gotta get my frame clean like yours

[@lonestarlows]

It was a work of art for sure

[@ransavage4194]

@@lonestarlows if you and you’re buddy had to replicate this particular chassis again how much would it take? 25k? What’s your take on “art Morrison chassis”

[@lonestarlows]

I've never seen one in person, I don't know what they cost..

[@lonestarlows]

I'm thinking closer to 30.... Lt with trans pull out, pulley kit. Ford 9 Chrome Wheels Molding of frame etc....might be more than 30

[@Jim-jk8zx]

That’s one sweet looking frame with that LT motor

[@lonestarlows]

It was a very nice chassis

[@tookallyourmoney]

Man this is a great build. Showing absolutely everything. Not hiding a damn thing. A whole lot of before thought went into it. Glad to see the shock mounts going to good use. I should send you the machine over there full time and send you ready made files to cut.

Great video brother. You have to be planning waaayyy ahead. I learned that the hard way lol. This is my 1st build though. I'm learning a lot from your channel. Thanks for sharing the info.

[@lonestarlows]

Thanks for watching. Patience prevails when building a quality low. Trust me

[@appliancedude63]

@@lonestarlows sure does.

[@jdeclaire1986]

The welding dictates the length of grind time... cleaner uniform welds means less time grimding. If it takes 2 weeks to mold this, something wasnt to par, whether it be a skill issue, or a tool issue. Definitely looks killer, not saying this as hate, or to take anything away, because it looks incredible

[@lonestarlows]

Thanks. This stuff isn't a full time job. So 2 weeks can mean alot of things

What brake kit are you running for the disks to fit the 13x7’s? Looks like just up front?

[@lonestarlows]

Its a g body brake kit. The back used to be drums but was upgraded to disc kit for Ford 9

[@davepelaez1192]

That's a rolling work of art! Where did you buy the bolt on exhaust hangers?

[@RedRocket64]

Dave Pelaez thanks man, the exhaust hangers come with the flowmaster pipe kit, I drilled and tapped the frame and bolted on those hangers, worked great, I’ll look for the part number.

[@RedRocket64]

Dave Pelaez part number, Flowmaster 817413

[@martinvalenzuela1040]

Thanks for posting these videos. It's helping the low rider community to reach our goals. One question I have. Can you still 3 wheel with the rear shocks? I like the idea of extending the mounts. Does the car ride better with the rear shocks? Silly question but I have to ask.

[@lonestarlows]

Yes still 3 wheels, the shocks do improve the ride, but its not going to ride like a stock suspension car.

[@martinvalenzuela1040]

These are bad azz! Does anybody make these or do you sell any?

[@lonestarlows]

We made them long time ago. Just 2 pairs though.

[@martinvalenzuela1040]

Ok, is that 1/2 steel where the shocks connect? Can I use the existing mounts or just cut them off and start fresh?

[@jsol832]

Nice fckn job homeboy👍🏽💯 1out of 1 , not another one like it

Do you all sell the rear extended shock mounts as a kit?

[@lonestarlows]

No they were kind of a one off deal messing around with a cnc

[@franklow9691]

Hey, not sure why I missed this one, great vid. Need a little help, im running bags on my 64, and like everyone else, im trying to get the most lock up and get as low as possible. Would what you did be good for me too? I only want 2-3 more inches.

[@lonestarlows]

I've never ran air bags. So I dont really know. Can't go wrong with a wish bone or y bone setup

[@franklow9691]

@@lonestarlows I have a y-bone, what id like to do is just get a little higher lock up, my shocks are limiting me, I thought maybe if I get longer shocks and relocate top mounts I'd be able to so. Do you know what the total travel is on Redrocket?

[@carloscortez2566]

Nice frame, what size are the rear shocks?? Where do you get them at??

[@mrdeesta]

Dope 🔥🔥

[@timspykerman843]

excuse my ignorance, What do you mean by "molding"the frame. Don't you mean "wrapped"?

[@lonestarlows]

Molding means making it seamless. Grinding down all the welds

[@balanis03]

Is there a specific reason why you went with a y-bone as compared to a wishbone??? Also when you got the motor and trans did you do anything to it before mounting it or did it have low miles and just put it in place???

[@RedRocket64]

Ben Alanis wishbone is typically used for longer trailing arms/high lockup’s and massive 3 wheels which looks good but I’m personally not into that. The Pitbull y bone is proven and can achieve standing 3 wheel on both sides with good height and super is easy install.

[@balanis03]

John Bro did you tear down the motor and trans??? Im sure it had low miles but im looking at a LS2 with either a 4l60-4l80??? I figured id at least rebuild trans and look for a motor with under 90k

[@RedRocket64]

Ben Alanis it had super low miles when I got it, around 3k, ls2 is a monster, great engine, 4l60 fits with no modifications to tunnel, but is not as durable as a 4l80, as you may have seen in the videos, the tunnel will need some work with the 4l80/6l80

[@balanis03]

John Bro oneog the reasons i was gonna go with 4l60. Any ideas if using either trans would i need any mods to firewall???

[@RedRocket64]

Ben Alanis no work needed on firewall for either trans

@Lowridersdoggs true, folks work day jobs and life happens. Not to mention paying for everything. Pretty sure the rolling chassis in this video was upwards of 30 grand. It was a 2017 engine in 2018...
