How I Reinforce My Lower A Arms For My Fleetwood

[@ThisIsYourBoyEric]

This is your boy Eric from Southern Cali. You are the man! No doubt about it, you are the man! I ran into your videos today and loved every one of them. I have a 93 Fleetwood Brougham myself that's cut also, but I'm working on the interior and paint. Let me tell you what I did to reinforce my front and maybe you can use this technique someday. I bought some spray adhesive and some wax paper you use for cooking. I cleaned the frame, sprayed the frame with the adhesive, laid the wax paper on the frame, cut what I didn't need, trace the edge of the frame onto the wax paper, this way it will give you a much tighter fit. Peel off the wax paper and transfer your template onto some construction paper. Trace the construction paper and transfer that onto your steel. Your boy Eric from So.Cali.

Great job i have a 83 cutlass wish i could juice it up but its 50 times harder down here in Mexico with these wadges if you even wanna call it that so might just go high on 20inch spokes but i never get tired of watching these builds at the end you're builds come out looking nice and clean!!

Just bought a unicorn. 1995 Fleetwood Brougham 60K, from little ole lady from Broussard LA, that she bought new. Passed to Grandson who had no use for it. Every thing works except drivers door window, which you helped me fix thru your video !!! Yep, it was the plastic clips. All good now!!

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Welcome to the unicorn club my black Fleetwood is one also I have been meaning to do a video on it but life has been causing some problems

[@budlight4206]

Man, those turned out great

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Thanks they are still going strong

[@CGOD]

Killer stuff man! Good to see people out here running beads and not just tacking everything together lol I plan to juice my coupe in the future after finishing some of my other projects

[@davidmendez9854]

Nice work homie, Like that Cadillac tattoo.

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Thanks. That was one of my first but still one of my favorites

[@edwardcoronado4729]

Ride on brother

[@Tippinonthree]

Hell yeah bro I needed this

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

I refure back to it myself sometimes

[@mrgroosumthasandman8046]

Dude! I know you're a welder, but holy shit man your welds and beads look excellent👌🏾!!! Props bro! I hate to say it, and I know I might catch static for it, but it seems like a good welder in the lowrider community is few and far between these days! Keep the culture alive man! 🤜🏾💯🤛🏾

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Thanks man! There is still room for improvement I try to get better with every weld it just takes practice. The thing with good welders being few and far between is most people that are building cars are just average guys learning as they go. You have to start somewhere just have to use common sense to use judgment to know if it's a critical part or just plating somthing

[@kobra_style]

Awesome work as usual. Can't wait to see the next video.

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Thank you

Thank you

[@cfmechanic]

Wow that thumbnail is epic

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Thanks I was kind of thinking it could be better but I didnt really take a lot of pics

[@guerosolis5794]

I forgot to reinforce the ring that holds the ball joint, so now my ball joint is loose, someone suggested to use an oversized ball joint from Napa auto parts.

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Yeah you can probably get away with those or you can measure the balljoint and see about welding a piece of pipe in the arm where the balljoint goes worse case have a pipe machined so the ball joint will press in then weld that pipe in the arm

[@edwardcoronado4729]

Right on bro very nice tell you what if you were near me I be taking my LowRider to you by the way very nice work on what you do

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

If you want to do a full build I can get a transporter unfortunately it wouldn't make sense just for routine maintenance

[@LowriderRios1316]

[@Ovniware33]

Looking good 👍 Do you reinforce the inside of the front coil pockets of the frame? Thanks

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Sure did I did that when I first juiced the car many years ago

[@Boshprimusik]

Hey I need to know how to fix the rear air suspension

[@growitgreen3986]

I cant get my bottom lowers to slide in smh! What’s the trick?

[@thecadillacdanshow8658]

Some times it's a real pain in the ass I use a dead blow hammer to tap them in If it still wont go I will get a 4x4 chunk of wood and a sledge hammer just be careful a line up bar will also help for when you get the bolt hole close just us a the line up bar to pull it to the center of the bolt hole

[@armandoaldape4007]

That's awesome what size of pipe did you use for you spring pockets
