My Galaxie Get's LOW! New 4-Link Suspension Install Pt. 1 Tear Down and Mock Up!

[@bradleyflood5437]

I like the fact that your channel covers a variety of cars from 90s to 60s it definitely keeps it interesting to watch

[@Thecraig909]

I appreciate that!

[@kurtbaker4078]

Agreed. F the naysayers watching for free in their Moms basement. Your topics and how to is "real world" applications. What every kid is going to face working in their driveway.

[@docsoleguyrodshop3756]

Advice from an ole guy who started working on cars at 13 yrs old (now 65) one car at a time.. But I know its hard with scheduling and school! Patience :-) Love that you are a Ford guy! Praying for you!

Between the two galaxies these galaxies have been whipping your ass but I'll have to say one thing for you you keep coming back no matter how bad it gets you end up whipping the Galaxy's ass kudos to you just keep up the good work one of these days you'll look back and both of them will be finished me personally if it was me I would have already thrown in the towel if your college grades or any example of what you do you'll graduate with honor

[@KevinConklin5]

We Love all your videos. Obviously the Truck and Galaxy are the favorite, but every video we learn from and enjoy the entire time. Just keep sharing and don't worry too much about the negative babys. Rock On!

[@monty7830]

Take all your time with the projects my friend, I’m 26 with a kid, 2 jobs, and a wife who works an opposite shift of me, I have 3 projects that don’t get any love or attention because of life, I work on them when I can but with my current life, a weekend job takes 6 months, so a lot of us understand, just do you, have fun doing it, and you’ll succeed 🤙🏼

[@DavidSmith-fs4nt]

I'm 65 so I'm enjoying watching your work on the Galaxies and F100. My 1st car was a 62 Galaxie coup back in 73. Back then we were jacking rear ends up, not lowering them. Mine was a 250 cui 6 banger so there wasn't much power with it. I admire your tenacity to try to make things work but you might want to try a little lateral thinking instead of beating your head against the wall. I restored a few cars over the years and often found myself sitting down at 2am wondering what the heck I was trying to accomplish. Keep with it, I look forward to your videos.

[@joeidaho5938]

I agree...lol. Sometimes, it's good to just get a good night's sleep...and start fresh again the next day....ready to face the challenges that were stressful at the end of the last day.

[@lowellfunk8974]

Chineseum means nothing fits and therefore must be custom! Custom means you must re-engineer/modify everything yourself! Most of the time us car guy's would have been better off if we'd just have built the stuff ourselves rather than trying to go the cheaper route of a universal kit and then have to make it fit anyways. I hear the frustration in your voice! Rest assured, you are not alone! My 63 f100 has been waiting for nearly 30 years to be road worthy! Keep on truckin, we're all rooting for you! 🙂🤑

[@jeffpbillings7698]

The cars and the channel are great. You have skills I would give anything to have. Screw the ones that complain.

[@williamking200]

Galaxy is looking great! Your fabrication content is the strength of the channel, especially because you’re 22! Keep up the great work

[@michaelchalk4262]

Wow 22 years old, you are very talented. I am really enjoying your content.

[@stacyboots8117]

Just my two cents, don't forget the pinion angle. Great project, thanks for sharing.

[@rossroedel5280]

I didn't realize you were that young. I bought my '64 at 22 (9 years ago). Really enjoying watching your progress on everything. Seeing you working out in the California sun really makes me not want to complain about workspace ever again

[@rljuddjr]

I think you do a very good job especially for your limited time and resources. I'm very impressed with your patience and work ethics especially given your still a very young man, i will enjoy whatever you put out there. Thanks again

[@truthseeker5968]

Your videos are great. If your not feeling the galaxy dont feel obligated to work on it. Do what you want.

[@MIKEH.777]

You're doing a great job on your videos, it doesn't matter what car you work on to me . Any sensible person would know that it takes money to put these old cars & trucks together. Your videos are great because you work on stuff and show exactly what is going on and you're truthful about it. Plus you show all the different cars & trucks at the shows ,you make us feel like we a there. Thank you for taking us on your journey and teaching us your skills on the way . Keep up the great work and God Bless. 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌

[@tompreciado863]

I’m trying to watch all your videos so you can make more videos bud! I thought you were older. You have a lot of talent for your age. I’m impressed amigo! Keep up the good job! Your dad should be very proud!

[@vintagespeed]

JJs are forged & rebuildable spherical joints. (created by a buddy of mine back in da' deh....then sold to currie.). the ends you have in that kit are welded all-thread.....not good for side loads, especially on a big gurl like a Galaxie...works for mock up, but I'd consider building your own DOM links. you CAN get forged one-piece bushed ends which are nice quality, like the ones I used on my buddy's apache which are sold by Barnes 4x4. they also sell the inserts.

[@nickwebber2798]

Nothing wrong with your content bro verity is the spice of life! Keep doing what your doing brother 💯

[@rogeryoder3680]

Love all you do…keep up the content. I am impressed. Not too many young men have your energy or interest in classic vehicles.

[@sweettee3647]

You should run a set of those coilover shock. They put them on a lot of hot rods. I think there called qa1.? And you probably could have made your own set of 4 links using 120 wall cutting and tapping and buying hyme joints. Can weld a nut even on them end of the link.

[@deundrasingleton4857]

I love your channel and completely understand the situation people don’t realize how much time college takes out of your day but keep up the good work 🔥🔥

[@thewyattfletcher]

Hey Craig, I just wanna say that I've been enjoying the full range and variety of your vids lately. I'm a middle aged guy that also has a variety of different project cars, and I appreciate that so much of what you do has application and interest beyond whatever your specifically working on. Keep up the good work.

[@maxnichols1727]

Live and learn Craig, the frustration is written all over your face. Make it work and move on. Now you can remember what you did and not repeat it on the red one. Great video, you show the truth in what can happen and how to fix it. Keep it up.

[@kboldin]

You don't have to explain anything about content or lack thereof... Ever heard of Adam LZ (of course you have), keep up the fun, keep up the WORK and in a few short years you'll look back with AMAZEMENT!!!!!

Keep up the great job you are doing. Watching from Sweden. Appreciate everything you do! Best, Mike

[@i-still-cruz2430]

I like all your content. It definitely gives your viewers variety. I’m a huge Fox body fan so I’m liking the Mustang stuff. But I’m a car guy at heart and can appreciate all you do 👍

[@rustylocke]

Good luck with your 4 link install. My Galaxie is bagged and it stayed on jackstands for a year while I tried to figure out the rear setup. I ended up going with a 65 Galaxie style 3 link. Works like a champ!

[@TheZaciechan]

Best part of the video is when you tripped on the car cover then flipped the car off. 🤣

[@rickboyles133]

by moving the axel back you will have to lengthen the drive shaft. you will save money by keeping the axel in the stock position

[@mightymikethebear]

Several parts of this car have already been modified. A stock length drive shaft is not a priority.

[@rickboyles133]

@@mightymikethebear it is to an added cost for a 22 year old college student that doesn't need to create more problems for himself

Keep your eye on the prize! ie you know in your head how you want it to be, you are very capable of achieving your goals! Looking forward to seeing your next video!

[@FordFanatic865]

I took a portapower and spread the openning for the tire! It kinda straightens up both sides if you take your time and it's a lot easier to control how much move it!

[@farmtruck9885]

Craig, Seeing that the leaf spring is under the axel couldnt you have put blocks between the leaf springs and axel to push the axel up into the body? Seems like that would have been easier.

[@DJRubenGAMINGTV]

you should do a chassis strengthening kit on the Galaxie

Love your vids, I've had almost every color 63-64 Galaxie ever. Pulled my first one from a field for 275.00, It ran great and just needed a clean up and paint,interior . Then I kept getting leads on others so from 1980 to 2000 restored or scrapped 20 or so. Of course we stripped all the trim and parts off them . Yours is looking way cool ! love your rims ,have fun bro Galaxies rule,

Yeah, some hand fitting required, and that's BEFORE you see how it doesn't fit the car you bought it for. I've had to do all kinds of hand fitting on a belly button hotrod like a Camaro, you and I are finding out how much fun it is on a 64 Galaxie with an FE engine.

The other side of the air hammered area lost all its paint/rust protection in the process. If you don't want that to start rusting tomorrow you should repaint with a wand. KBS cavity coating cans come with one.

I completely understand your upload situation, I’m working on my 1966 mustang and trying to get that done but I’m not old enough to drive let alone get a job, that car runs off of money I get from cutting grass and chores, so I understand how expensive it is to make video so just try your best

Constructive and then there's destructive then there is also a little thing called suggestion Any way Craig I like following you channel and hard work thanks for the good video's I also like how you friends get together reminds me of my buddies back in the day and the variety is enjoyable so wrench on my brother wrench on!
