Welcome to Walton Racing, where family and passion for cars collide! Check out our installation of the rear suspension on our Factory Five 65 Coupe, inspired by the iconic Shelby Daytona. We navigate a few hurdles that most builders run into, not to mention some anxious moments, so don't miss it!

I've been seeing a ton of youtubers in the automotive industry who have less than like 1k subs, yet the content is arguably better than most channels with millions of subs. keep it up guys. i cant wait for your channel to explode.

[@Walton_Racing]

Wow, thank you so much for this comment! All three of us (and dad when he finally makes it in a video) have full-time jobs on top of running this channel, so to hear people say things like this motivates us to keep going. Thanks again for the support!

[@OakHollowGarage]

Great content again guys! Thanks for sharing, these videos will be invaluable to future builders.

[@gray3504]

This content is spot on. Video quality, voiceover, attention to detail are 10/10. Makes you appreciate a brotherly bond. Guessing you guys are some Carolina boys from the ECU hat. If so, GO PIRATES!

[@Walton_Racing]

Thanks for the kind words on our production! Its still hard to believe that we shot it on an iPhone 15. We'll have some fun new things to try out soon, so we hope to provide even better content in the future!

[@johnd.williams3477]

Looks great guys! Thank you for taking time to shoot a video, edit it, and post it. You are helping the guys who are following you. Keep the videos coming!! Virginia coupe builder, at the go-cart stage. Body work to come.

[@Walton_Racing]

Thanks John, we appreciate it! Good luck with the bodywork!

[@andrewhale7604]

love this! can't wait to watch the rest of the series! very well done nd super helpful for those of us who are looking to do this project ourselves!

[@Walton_Racing]

Thanks Andrew! We're glad that you are enjoying our build so far and we really appreciate the support. It means a lot!

[@LesJones-s4p]

I know its too late and you have already enlarged holes but a ream would be a better choice then a drill bit because you could eccentric the hole with a drill bit

[@Walton_Racing]

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe it will help someone reading this in the future.

Hahaha must have been easy to be 3 to mount that differential... Took me 5 hours doing it alone, with a jack and a cherry picker... Wasn't fun, especially the last bolt to align... used a bull pin to align the last hole...

[@Walton_Racing]

Ouch, 5 hours is brutal! I'm sure it felt awesome once that last bolt went in.

[@cle-oem]

Yeah, brutal is the word, but I got my VIN number yesterday, and started the engine for the first time last Saturday... That felt even better. I need to redo all the wiring work, I am not happy with the current status, so I got a relay box, and need to set up a Daytime Running Light, because Canada. Next finish the touch up around the engine, like coolant, filling the AC, already did the power steering, need to recheck the hydraulic clutch (must have air in the lines) Then I am about to start setting the body, and body work will begin, also interior... A long long road, but it's so rewarding

[@mynameisoversteertorqueove5004]

Top control arm mounts to the suspension knuckle in shear. The knuckle is aluminum. I wonder if that will cause problems down the road.

[@Walton_Racing]

That would be a good question for Karen Salvaggio. She's been racing a Coupe she built a few years ago with this IRS configuration. She also helped put together the drivetrain package we bought from Summit.

[@rrt5000]

Why new studs? Different length?

[@Walton_Racing]

Great question. The Ford rear hubs come with metric studs (14mm x 1.50) and the front hubs from Factory Five come with SAE studs (1/2-20). Technically we could have left them on, but that would mean we would need a different set of lug nuts for the fronts and rears and that would be a pain to remember.

When's the next uodate??

[@Walton_Racing]

Thanks for checking in! We took a little break for the easter holiday, so we’ll probably have another episode in the next week or so. It will feature updates to our shop and the fuel tank install.

[@mr.rajikon3911]

Thank you! I just wanted to let you guys know your videos are great! I was unsure if I was capable of undertaking such a feat but watching you guys has motivated me to take on this challenge ! Looking forward to your entire build series.

[@Walton_Racing]

@@mr.rajikon3911 We really appreciate that! This project is like anything in life. There will be ups and downs and there will be challenges to overcome, but you have a great community of builders and a great company in Factory Five that will help you along the way.
