It may be slow growing channel but tony starting his own show was definitely the best thing ever I really hope it pays off so people can see all the crazy stuff he can build

[@hendo337]

It's always best when you own the means of production and aren't splitting the procedes with a corporation. There's no question that they are succeeding. At least the community is still small enough that the comments section feels friendly. Eventually it'll be like a Whistlin' Diesel video and total Anarchy in here 😂😂

[@stevemadak6255]

@16:25 Plumber here. The multiplier for pipe you have to remove on a 45 degree angle is 1.415. So you're at 15.5" and take 12" from that is 3.5". You divide that by 2 because there's two pipes .That's how many inches each side need to go in = 1.75" each. This is where the magic 1.415 comes in. You multiply 1.75" X 1.415 times and the number you have to take off each pipe is 2.47 inches. Or just shy of two and a half inches 😊🤑

[@mikerhodeback9636]

1.414..actually but I use 1.5 and subtract a smidge..ain't buildin watches and this is merica !

[@StayTunedTA]

The more you know!

[@BeatUpBuilds]

I wanted to figure out how to measure to put an S bend in a piece of conduit and figured yeah this shouldn't be too bad. Well apparently you need trigonometry to figure all that out. I tried to teach myself trigonometry again for the next 2 hours to no avail. I gave up and eyeballed it. I guess I should have paid attention in school after all.

Ohh man!! I tried to buy a 64 belvedere when I was 16! It had a rebuilt 440 swapped into it. My dad refused to drive me to go buy it. He must have known it was likely my coffin😂

Oh no! Pops might have been right. When my Dad brought home my '71 Demon, I remember Mom saying "if he gets hurt in that I'm going to kill you" to him.

Yeay! Luv'n the '64 Dodge,, Son! I had a '63 Polara, Torqueflight, 318. It was a DOG. The year was 1972, my Polara was only 9 years old and I LOV'd it! Always had hopes/dreams of dropping a 440, 4spd in it but being's I was a young feller, married with 2 kids and barely making more than $4.00 an hour, rent, utilities, food, clothes, doctor bills, etc., etc. my dreams for the car just weren't in the cards. After owning it only a couple years I sold it to buy a '76 Dodge wagon and my dreams of a sweet hotrod went on hold til the mid 80's. Watching you work on this beauty kinda takes me back to my dreams of long ago. GO MoPAR!

Oh man these cars are dope! And with a 440? Score! Love the show man. My favorite car show on KZbin, hands down.

[@StayTunedTA]

It's a 383, the car is a "440". It's SUPER confusing and I call it a "Polara" which is another trim model and makes Mopar die hards cringe. Can't win with this one lol. Thanks though! It's really good now.

[@gripp9k]

@@StayTunedTA Lol I had no idea.

[@francisrizzo1529]

Great find on the leaf spring hangers! Never understood turndowns before the rear axle. If you're not routing the exhaust over the rear axle at least turn it out the side in front of the rear wheels.

[@johnbrown1617]

Love seeing this car on the show Tony! I may be biased though, because my 64 Polara is my baby. It had a similar issue with the brakes after putting discs all around and swapping from manual to power brakes a year or so ago. We chalked it up to lack of vacuum and installed an electric vacuum pump, as per the recommendation of the master cylinder manufacturer. It stops a lot better now. Not as good as I feel a power disc brake car should, but good enough that I'm not scared to be in highway traffic lol. I'd like to see how you solve the issue on your 64 at some point though!

[@charleshuffman6982]

Growing up, we had a 1965 Chrysler New Yorker 6-window Town sedan (with the clear tail light lenses) that had the right hand twist studs (with "R" stamped in the end) and lug nuts on the passenger side and the driver's side had the left-hand tread studs (with "L" stamped on it). And since we put snow tires on each winter, I quickly (as a pre-teen) learned to do the driver\s side "backwards" without braking anything - or loosing anything. Great videos!

[@madmaxington]

When those mufflers fell off the X pipe I LOST IT. Another great episode guys, keep it up!!

[@Steelythestacker]

You guys got that thing back to being proper old school rowdy. She sounds healthy brother.

[@joshprottenger]

My very first car was a 64 dodge coronet 440 with the poly 318. Exactly the same car just had two more doors. Miss that car some much. Wife on the other hand not so much😅.

[@gregstarkjohann6856]

them old mopars are great ,even though they are a pain in the butt.how can anybody hate on 60s muscle cars. love this content keep it up.

[@wolfemancola]

I like that this show has unique builds. Other channels are pretty much all the same, 4-cylinder = K-series, 6-cylinder = 2JZ, 8-cylinder = LS. Then just swap one of those 3 into every car shell. You guys are doing it right and doing different stuff, much more entertaining. You guys also usually match the car brand with the engine brand which i like. I mean taking the 340 out of the Demon and putting a twin turbo LS would just ruin it, put it in a Camaro or Silverado or something, where it belongs

[@kennynelson2269]

Love that old car was wondering what went with it and tony you're a freaking Rockstar brother keep it up..

[@garylucier6817]

That Bridgeport Mill is invaluable to project car work. Good job finding the mis-matched rear spring bracket.

[@tgalbraith2395]

My mom had a '64 440 very similar to that one except it was dark metallic blue with a 318. I think the '64s were one of the best looking Mopars of all time!

[@rayc6246]

Great video and glad you hooked up with Derek that help lead me to your channel.

[@jerryl3270]

U have to take the u-bolts loose.jack the rear-end up a little, measure from chassis to the axle making sure both sides are the same. Then tighten the ubolts in a criss-cross pattern. It explains in detail in the 1970's Haines Chevy Camaro Repair manual

[@jeffallbright4449]

Yup, thrust angle should be 0 degrees and when it crab walks the rear end isn’t square with the front! It will “dog track” or “crab walk” and steering wheel will be way off center!

[@hendo337]

Tony, it would be so awesome if someone like 440 Source or TFS would hook you guys up on a like 499 or 512 Stroker kit for a 400 block and some aluminum heads for that bad bish. I love the way those Polaras look, they are one of the outlandish early 60s Mopars that comes off looking really mean. I especially love that back end, I almost see a tiny bit of late 70s Dodge Diplomat in it, then it has the rocket ship front end that has a bit if the Turbine car and a bit of Ford T-Bird/Galaxie thing happening. Please get some rust reformer on it, maybe tape off a straight line across the bottom of the rockers, feather off the cracked paint, hit it with rust reformer (like inside on the roof, underhood, trunk type areas)and some white rustoleum, then buff it out a touch and it'll really look great. Maybe try some flex seal or something after the rust reformer to fill the tiny holes and stuff and put a thick layer on for sound and weather proofing...that car was a reallly great choice. Now Barb's truck needs a V8 instead of that slant 6 and maybe a floor shift A833 or something and that could be really cool...that or maybe an Aussie fan could find you guys a Hemi 6 and ship it over, I am pretty sure that would be a first on any of the major USA hot rodder channels, it makes sense since that design was meant to be a used in Dodge Trucks originally. Love the channel, I am always ready for the next video.

[@moparman1962]

Old Mopars from the mid 60's to mid 70's are just cool Tony. We would like to see you do a little more to your non-Polara to make it a little better handling, and maybe do a little to the interior and consider hopping it up a little more and then drive it and drag race it once in awhile in your videos. ;)

[@louisgarguilojr2592]

An absolute banger. Love the 440. The only car that scared the sh!t outta me when I drove one. Love the steering floatation option. Lol. What a vibe.

[@toralfcross3819]

I grew up cruising Pottstown and Allentown, street racing in Quakertown and later more sanctioned stuff at Maple Grove and E-town about a decade ahead of you. You've been doing this for a while now, but it's still jarring when I recognize a road or spot where you're filming.

[@johneken2056]

Had a '64 440 bought at Reedmans in '69 to take to college in Ohio. Replaced the 318poly (told my dad the block cracked) with a 383 from a '68 Sports Fury (same as a Road Runner). Had a 390 gear set for around town and the 273 for the highway. Got pretty good at yanking the pumpkin in the parking lot except for the 240 ft# to set the rear axle nut (1/2 breaker bar an a lenght of pipe). It would squeak like a loose chair leg if the nut wasn't tight. Mine was black with a red interior...loved that car could write a book.

mopar spring hangers are shimmable (which is awesome) for toe so that you can align the rear track. drop a string centerline anywhere in the middle of the vehicle, measure from that center to each axle tube (double check the axle is centered over the leafs..) to square the rear axle. then adjust the front to align with the rear. 👍
