COILOVERS on a Ute! How to Install QA1 A-body Suspension & Why You Should - Sally's Speed Shop Ep 21

On this episode of Sally's Speed Shop we install QA1 suspension on the '67 El Camino one level at a time while explaining how and why you should consider doing the same! And of course we rip a few obligatory burnouts to test it out, and make a big announcement about the future of the channel! It's a good one!
A huge thanks to QA1 with the help on this project! Check out what products they have for your car at QA1.net

[@jeffreyc6508]

The ElCo looks MeanO!!

[@SallysSpeedShop]

It's a really good car!

[@HotRodDave]

I like the video. I just picked up a 65 El Camino and she is pretty stock for now. Projects coming on her I can't wait to get started. New sub

[@puddleduckist]

Nlce! Putting qa1s and umi tubular control arms on my 69 gto. Great videos!

[@drewfausett5388]

aerosol overhaul. love it.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

It's the easy way to restore things haha

[@audiosmackdown]

Hitachi Cordless for the win

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Yes sir! I've used and abused mine for years!

[@cudak888]

Drum brake adjuster access slot in the front of the drum itself? Brilliant. Makes you wonder why this was never standard practice.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Chevrolet just did things right 👌🏼

[@jeffbell9305]

Good to see ya back on . Looking forward to the adventure

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Thanks Jeff! Lots more to come!

[@hookyjo72]

I'm glad your back, can't wait to see all the progress, hope you and your family are doing well.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Thanks man! Lots more to come!

[@shanewright6958]

Glad you're back. Great upgrade and video 👍👍🇨🇱

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Thanks man! 🙌🏼

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Nice upgrades. I'd love to replace the torsion bar suspension on the ole Cordoba!

[@SallysSpeedShop]

That's never a bad idea!

[@thejunkyarddon591]

Great video Jacob! I love how you did the stages and really showed what you get 🤘🏻

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Yes sir! Trying to be at least moderately informative

[@slowshedgarage7409]

QA1 looks like really nice quality equipment. I'm looking for a setup for my 68 Impala project. I'll check them out. Thanks for the post.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

They make really great parts and their a great company to work with!

[@Marajawana100]

What’s your ground clearance?

[@billspinks4357]

Thanks for the QA1 set up on your ElCo. I think that is the same set up I need for my 1967 GTO. It looks great and not that hard to install. Like you said drill 6 holes and done, Nice hack on the drill, I've used that one myself.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Happy to be of service! It's really good stuff. Thanks for watching, that's a good little hack

[@TravisHargiss]

Very exciting.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Yes sir!

[@boomeraus0073]

WOW someone knows what a Ute is in the US. :)

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Yes sir! Gotta give credit to the Aussies for these wonderful creations!

[@boomeraus0073]

@@SallysSpeedShop Sadly there is no more thanks to GM and Ford closing their doors.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

@@boomeraus0073 I know... It's truly sad

[@oscarwalton1188]

Do they make anything for AMC hornet's lol

[@roscokat6367]

Was the front fender always messed up or is that something you did. LoL Don't remember seeing it in other vids. Thanks for the channel. Love the Elco.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Haha I ripped a gnarly burnout which blew up the rear end. Without thinking I put the car in park and it rolled into a poll because park does nothing when the rear end is destroyed... Not my finest moment!

[@iadc43]

22:00 what happened to the new shop at grandma Sally’s property?

[@melaniebrown5475]

I do believe this was filmed some time ago. If you go to his Instagram, you'll see the shop at his grandma's house is the one he's talking about.

[@iadc43]

@@melaniebrown5475 I think you’re right. At the end during his outro, it sure seemed like it. His saying the elco build was months old and thousands of miles back made me think that too. At first I was wondering because they documented some of that build already in a few videos. Was why I asked earlier.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

@@iadc43 yeah... The videos kinda got out of order haha Sorry for the confusion!

[@GhostRider-ii7tz]

That’s a sweet elco you have bud.👍💪

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Much appreciated!

[@SallysSpeedShop]

@@5HKNB4K oh, it's pretty entertaining haha

[@HazeyAuto]

If only QA1 did kits like these for Australian utes. Or Australian cars, for that matter...

[@SallysSpeedShop]

What would be nice! It's a shame they aren't making any more new Utes...

[@CatAndDogDad83]

Do you ever work on diesels? I have a 1988 F250 7.3 IDI. I Would love to get the chance to pick somones brain about them. Love your channel!

[@SallysSpeedShop]

I'm no expert, but I know a few things about them.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

And thanks!

[@CatAndDogDad83]

@@SallysSpeedShop ignition not working. I turn the key and wait to start light come on but when I try and start it nothing happens. already replaced solenoid switch thinking it was that nope!

[@SallysSpeedShop]

@@CatAndDogDad83 sounds like you've got some wiring issues to me! You can always start it with a screwdriver by jumping the points on the solenoid haha

[@doba78]

kzbin.info ask ziptiesnbiasplies about them

[@glenncampbell9126]

Why are you burning up your tires?

[@paulperpingon7732]

I love the idea of qa1 but think I need to save more money for an entire frame from a reputable company.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

An entire frame with brakes and suspension and all that jazz will be well over double what a QA1 kit costs, and the beauty of the QA1 stuff is that you can mix and match it with your factory components as your budget allows. However, it's all a matter of what your goal is for the car.

[@jasonearp8720]

How did you get someone to let you run a car on their running track?

[@SallysSpeedShop]

No one was there so we didn't ask haha That's where they do school pickup so we just utilized their cones

[@RearEngineShop]

Some quality suspension parts there. I wonder if they make upgraded Fiero parts. 🤔 Probably not.

[@SallysSpeedShop]

I'm sure they at least have a shock that would fit it, but I doubt they make any parts specific to the Fiero haha

[@RearEngineShop]

@@SallysSpeedShop not many company’s do. I’ll have to make my own control arms and use some qa1 shocks. 🤔

[@SallysSpeedShop]

@@RearEngineShop that could work!

[@hughstephenson2957]

I'd check and or replace the wheel bearings as long as I had the front end apart..

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Funny you should say that haha You'll see why in a future video

[@r1lark]

But......slapping new parts on old rusty junk........that's the Roadkill way, what's wrong with that?? LOL

[@SallysSpeedShop]

I do it all the time, but this car is actually pretty good

[@stevendebiasi428]

Needs some real wheels

[@SallysSpeedShop]

You don't like rally wheels? They're one of the most iconic muscle car wheels out there

[@SallysSpeedShop]

Trust me... It drove me crazy while I was editing it 🤦🏻‍♂️ Definitely don't trust my shaky arms without some sort of stabilization haha
