Thanks for watching!

[@AndyGeesGarage]

Another good one. Combining engineering with the artistry of upholstery. Super clean and cool setup.

[@LGKustoms]

Thanks Andy! Isn’t polishing aluminum fun! Haha After watching your last video, I think I need to replace my buffing wheels

[@AndyGeesGarage]

@@LGKustoms haha!

[@paulmiller1618]

This channel offers so much more than the other so called hotrod channels. It's only a matter of time this channel grows to its true potential 👍👍👍

[@LGKustoms]

Thank you. I really appreciate that.

[@ronfast703]

You need a t-shirt or a decal with “ It’ll be Fine “ I know I’d buy one to be one of the cool 😎 kids at the next show or swap meet.

[@LGKustoms]

Ha!

[@bobsadogtoo]

45 minutes? Man that flew by. Another great video Lee. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@LGKustoms]

More to come! Just finished editing the last video on the air ride. It’ll be out soon

[@gkanderson92]

I'm one of the three that hung till the end. Nice work on the system and design of the platform. Should look really nice installed. Love all your work. Wish you had a LG logo on a black shirt.

[@LGKustoms]

Thanks for sticking it out! Haha I do have a black shirt with the LG logo. It’s on the website, www.lgspeedkustom.com/shop

[@terrymontgomery4419]

Me too. I even watch for an hour.

[@Madassfab]

This is great the simplicity of the kit and the way you set it up been wanting to build something with air ride forever

[@LGKustoms]

Just finished editing the final video on this install! The car turned out great!

[@lorriegriffith4979]

Great video! I always enjoy your upholstery videos. Back in the day you could get front & rear seat cover kits from J.C.Whitney and they were not half bad. Marty G

[@stanleyfanning5316]

I always watch your videos from start to finish. That turned out awesome.

[@LGKustoms]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@vonnsnyder2481]

Same here...And, I like the longer videos. The longer the better.

[@jasonfiegehen7708]

Awesome work Lee. Fits the style of the Galaxie perfect!

[@LGKustoms]

Thanks. That was the plan, make it look like it’s supposed to be there

[@Bigskyguy56]

Lee, Nice clean work as always. I enjoy watching your work & the attention to detail you afford each job. I look forward to your next video. Take care, Rick

[@LGKustoms]

Thanks Rick!

[@jimandlinsnow7002]

Looks great. The customer should love it 😊.

[@LGKustoms]

I think so too!

[@GTP427cobra]

I like the 59 Ford my Dad bought one new it was baby blue and white with the 352 300 hp engine with 3 speed with overdrive I learned how to drive in the car I wish i could it and restore

[@larryreece1403]

I like the packaging you did! I have a 61 Cadillac with a similar area I want to utilize, Nicely done!

[@LGKustoms]

Go for it!

[@1fknhpycmpr355]

Wow! That compressor/tank setup looks dam nice!

[@LGKustoms]

Thanks!

[@mopar4656]

Nice work, Lee. Couldn't be betterer. It's the bestest!!

[@homespuntools2115]

[@LGKustoms]

Cool! Was the “Might as Wells” story?

[@Badgeweefixstuff]

[@martinsteele345]

45 min. Video goes by quickly with great content!

[@LGKustoms]

Thanks! Appreciate that!

[@floridian7143]

Thanks for sharing! Always interesting and enjoyable!

[@DependableAutoTruck]

Thanks for sharing know it takes time to make videos

[@psnaith1]

great job on the platform, reall looks great dude! i did watch till the end!

[@LGKustoms]

Awesome. All three people who watched to the end have now been accounted for haha.

[@darrenbrisson4336]

Cool tshirt man

[@shotsrodder]

Looking good Lee 😎 thanks for dumping the angry music 👍 I almost beat myself up 😂😂

[@LGKustoms]

Haha I like the angsty music.

[@haroldgetchelljr.4031]

Looks really good ….I look it a lot….good job man😊

[@LGKustoms]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Zenny_6969]

..hi Lee.....I'd watch your videos if they were 2 hrs and 45 mins.....beautiful work, as usual....

[@LGKustoms]

Haha thanks, I appreciate that. I think 30-45 minutes is the sweet spot for most people’s attention spans. Maybe that’s why most TV shows are 30-60 minutes?

[@vonnsnyder2481]

Same!!

[@michaellaskowski9866]

Vary Cool !!

[@LGKustoms]

Thanks

[@paulsturtz7638]

Hey, I ain't nobody! I watch it all.

[@LGKustoms]

Awesome! Appreciate it!

[@allanpepper9651]

I like your work. Just a thought, if you increase the angle of the shocks slightly, you will stop them bottoming out.

[@LGKustoms]

The air bags bottom out just before the shocks bottoms out.

[@timferriss905]

having never done any upholstery, when you use the piping how do you attach it. Has it got like a flange you sow to? (Don’t even no what it’s called). I think a little detail like a chrome edge at the front of the panel would be a nice touch like the boot. ( trunk). Anyway very good and looking forwards to seeing the air ride working. Cheers Tim.

[@LGKustoms]

The piping has a 3/8 seam allowance that you sew to.

[@timferriss905]

Got it that’s why you add 3/8 to your pattern.

[@DependableAutoTruck]

Have you tried heat forming the tubing it takes time but works great. i use it a lot under hood like for PCV

[@LGKustoms]

I’ve seen electricians do that to get shape in plastic conduit. I’m curious if it would effect the pressure rating of the airline?

[@DependableAutoTruck]

@@LGKustoms don't know but works great on vacuum

[@rscruiser3533]

There is something I would like to do --- if done by an upholstery shop would probably cost quite a bit --- Consew machines --- one is looking at $1.600.00 ----- Too much for only doing a couple of your own cars---- And that would be to sew my own -- for a '30 Model A Coupe ------ Start with the least obvious first -- like -- door cards rather than the seat. ---- It would be a nice accomplishment --- to hopefully feel good about when finished--------------- You mentioned you were using a 1956 Singer Sewing Machine ---- Can you tell me the Model ---- I know all Singers can't sew Automotive material ------ One other thing -- since we are on it ------ What is the Thread you use to do Automotive ----- I don't know if they go by -- thickness -- or -- gage ---- I would think it is a heavy weight to with stand the wear and tear -------- Thank You for Sharing --- and going into detail in the steps --- Really appreciated ---------- Rodney

[@LGKustoms]

Hi Rodney, I’m not sure the model of my Singer. $1600 is pretty high, unless it’s brand new. Used industrial sewing machines can be obtained for as little as $500 (mine was even less). Just stick to brand name stuff (Singer, Juki, Phaff) as they are easy to get parts for and service of ever needed.

[@dennishedrick5108]

Shouldn't the Schrader valve be mounted somewhere handy like an air shock valve

[@LGKustoms]

All the shrader valves are super easy to access. Just pop the trunk, and there they are.

[@CorvairSteveMorton]

Hey Lee, I had to watch this episode with the sound muted. I'm sorry I just can't get into the Music and I got tired of trying to turn it on and off.

[@LGKustoms]

Sorry man, don’t know what to tell ya, it’s just background music for timelapse shots and segways. Don’t let it get to you.

[@dennishedrick5108]

Please use some music other than the Munster music it's getting older that bubble gum pop on the radio

[@LGKustoms]

Who doesn’t like the Munsters?
