Thanks for watching. I’m excited for the first Drive.

[@frankhall4]

I learned to drive on a 1966 impala and drove it many years. Nice to see one getting back on the road... I remember helping my dad do the brakes and this reminded me of that. Thanks for the memories

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

I’m glad to hear that man. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching! I’m trying to post more frequently instead of just dropping one 30+ minute video every other month. Good luck with your projects also!

I'm glad to see she is getting some love.

[@domcorleone66]

Thanks for bringing me back to high school auto shop, Dez!! We all drove 60s GM cars with drum brakes. Mine was a 67 Bel Air sedan. Good times!!

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Yeah, it’s a dying skill, that’s for sure. When I go to add horsepower in the future, I will be swapping over to disc brakes. For right now, I just want to drive it.

[@domcorleone66]

@DezzysSpeedShop You're definitely very thorough with your projects. Particularly how you pack the wheel bearings and prep the backing plate. Who makes the gloves that you wear?

[@DarkFlamage]

Are you kidding me? Mine was the same.

[@todddenio3200]

Ever since I was a little kid I have loved long roofs. Mom had a 66 Pontiac Catalina 9 passenger wagon and I would love to have another one but I don't see that happening due to finances and health issues. Gotta LOVE the wonderful spelling they did on that master cylinder cover.... LOL

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

There are some pretty affordable Catalinas up here in Washington. Thanks for watching.

[@impalaman4546]

Cool video thanks love the impala,s

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Thank you!

[@christolbert4628]

That's called the race that the bearing mates to. 👌

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Thanks. I was having a brain fart.😂

[@christolbert4628]

@DezzysSpeedShop I have them all the time, but I'm a lot older than you. 😅

[@asteverino8569]

Another fun filled break 🙄 repair. The Impala waggo is coming along nicely. Good that the hub cap popped back out with its nice bong sound. Saved face for you. I continue to enjoy your channel. Cheers.

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Gotta love quality control 😂

[@brianbaker6196]

love the poverty caps!!!

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

My favorite look 😁👍🏾

[@marvsmith8137]

Dezzy 👌👍💪💪💪💪

[@robertcarpenter9204]

My buddy bought a 68-impala wagon with a 396 2-barrel carb and auto. That thing would fly down the freeway no problem Js.

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Was he towing with it?

[@brianbaker6196]

do the blue wheels!!!

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

That’s definitely where I’m leaning 😁

[@faulknerfixesall]

great video and a really cool wagon.i bet you can kinda fade match those wheels.

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Yea I’ll add grey or white when doing it and a flat clear

[@faulknerfixesall]

@@DezzysSpeedShop good choice the color matched wheels on the car you showed from the hub cap person ,those look super on that car.so your wheels should look great as well. i really miss the old chevys i used to have a 66 chevelle 4 door way back in the day and got in lots of trouble,my dad made me sell it.😄

[@punchline3988]

Blue would be cool but black would really let those caps pop and be the center of attention 🤷

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Did you see the cap pop back out 😂

[@punchline3988]

@@DezzysSpeedShop yes that was funny. Your reaction was perfect 😂

[@victorrobinson7008]

Go disc breaks front and rear ! I would.1967 disc would fit

[@robertcarpenter9204]

Last December I saw a guy who could be your twin at S'Klallam Days in Kingston. I wanted to ask if it was you, but I didn't have time.

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Definitely wasn’t

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Where is Kingston

[@kevinbhola9408]

If you"re restoring this gem and have a genuine love for it...pls repaint it and not defeat the purpose.

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

I’m definitely not ever painting it

[@kevinbhola9408]

You should repaint that entire car, this patina thing is not your cultute bro.

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Not my culture? Do explain

[@brando7655]

Hate to be this guy but man I’d rather let a car sit a little longer while I stack up money for a disk brake swap, rather than replacing drums.

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Cool

[@DarkFlamage]

Why do people think that way? This car survived from 1966 'til now just fine with 4 wheel drums, did it not?

[@brando7655]

@@DarkFlamagenot really considering it wasn’t on the road for half them years.

[@DarkFlamage]

@@brando7655 Wow, Genius responce to my comment...LMAO Let's dissect your reply a little bit, shall we? You say.... [not really] ...what? It didn't really survive? So the car doesn't exist right now in very good condition, huh? Weird, I must be imagining it then. [half them years] ....it's 58 years old so 1/2 is 29 still pretty long for any car to go with a single pot master cylinder and 4 wheel drum brakes, I'd say! But then again Drivers in those times knew how to drive defensively. So, that explains alot.
