Preparing the Vintage Modified Race Car for my FIRST RACE! - Vice Grip Garage EP90

After contemplating for a bit, I decided to take my vintage modified race car, well racing. It's a battle-proven, champion car, built from a 1938 Chevrolet Master Delux Coupe that's still on the original frame. Of course, I don't want to ball it up, so what better way to feed her all the onions but not get in trouble than take it to a rally race! She's NOT built for this in any way shape or form - so this is going to be a MESSY BLAST!!

learn to shift with your left hand hand lets you steer constantly with your dominant hand for better control

[@oleslewfoot1767]

We run 2 shifters on our 3 speeds. Reverse and 1st on the close stick, second and race gear on the outside stick.

[@jessemcroberts5099]

Exactly what we do.

[@spydercookie1315]

Left front brake shoes are on backwards Primary shoe goes on the headlight side not the brake light side.

[@jessicacordova5024]

The reason for switching the primary shoe and the secondary shoe is to increase front brake engagement. The reason primary and secondary shoes are different sizes on drum brakes is to decrease wheel lock by first engaging the primary (smaller less grippy shoe) first followed by the secondary (larger more grippy shoe). When the brakes are applied the piston of the wheel cylinder moves the primary shoe into contact with the brake drum. The rotation of the brake drum causes the primary shoe to be dragged in its forward rotation the forward rotation wedges the shoe into the drum and transfers to the secondary shoe. By switching the position of the primary and secondary shoe you’re making the secondary shoe (larger more grippy shoe) engage first followed by the primary (smaller less grippy shoe). By making the secondary shoe contact the drum first you’re increasing initial brake engagement to the front end. The goal is not to increase front braking bias it is just to increase initial brake engagement. Increasing front brake engagement helps on dirt track cars by using the front brakes to keep the rear tires in line when coming into corners and also has the advantage of being able to use your front brakes to straighten you out when your rear wheels break loose. Sorry if my explanation doesn’t make sense I’m not the best at explaining stuff it made sense in my head. lol hopefully it makes sense to those that are curious why the front brake shoes are (backwards).

[@haydave420]

@@jessicacordova5024 i dont think that would help it to stop. as far as them locking up it about fluid control, thats what you need one of them fancy valves for.

[@jessicacordova5024]

haydave420 I agree partially it’s not about stopping it’s just to have the front brakes lock or come close to locking fast to get the rear wheel in line with the fronts if the rear wheels are sliding out from under you. It kind a works like on an 18 wheeler if the trailers starting to get out of line you hard to medium brake the tractor to get it straight in line then slowly pull the trailer brakes and that’ll put the trailer back in line with the tractor. I am 100% not saying you have to agree with me or that I’m 100% right that’s just what I’ve always been taught maybe I’ve been taught wrong but it makes sense to me. But I could’ve been taught wrong that’s why I like to have these conversations because I honestly could be wrong because I’ve been taught wrong and you might know better than me and I might be able to learn something from you. That’s what life is about is learning from people that know more than you and teaching people stuff that you have learned.

[@jessicacordova5024]

haydave420 haydave420 also back then they did also use different valves to help with that but it wasn’t as common as it is now. Now people use different valves and can also tune these fancy computerized valves and change their braking bias instantly that’s what I meant by saying that with the old drums the goal wasn’t to change braking bias only to change initial brake engagement.

[@stephenkamin1345]

On a turn lefty track your not wanting to stop the car... your simply slowing it down and upsetting the stance.. if want the car to lean forward just a bit... turn left then transfer to the rear,,, it’s called wedge... think of a lawn mower with the right front wheel a bit lower than the rest of them... when you push the mower... it cuts more... and when you pull the handle it raises and put weight on the left rear.

[@atheplummer]

Stagger up front, does two things. 1. It puts more weight on the taller tire 2. it raises the drinker side frame rail so the car maintains a flat attitude in the corner, reducing loose condition. This is really effective on straight axle setups.

[@ludicrous7044]

The front tires are aligned differently because of banking and it has “wedge” in the body and frame on the drinker side. The axle is offset as much as tech won’t see to help it turn left!! Down the straight it pulls hard to the left!! NASCAR won’t allow ANY offset and will measure it!!

Goes to prove. Even a shitty weld holds pretty good

[@drewlurker1816]

Seems like he adjusted the shoes out on the front left so he could drag the brakes in the corner to help the car rotate

[@kevinshiley9061]

Using the left front to help the car set for the left hand turns. Then the back end kicks out and you turn into it and stand on it. The weight having transferred to the right rear. You don't want the rear tires to stay in line as stated above or the car will push, straight and usually into the wall. Dirt track is a different animal!! Dirt late Models are going into the turns at about 135mph. One pump of the gas and back on it!!

[@christopherscherer5256]

"Fore Head Awning" you always make me laugh Derek! Thanks for brightening my day! I think a guy will wander over the interwebs and get himself a VGG awning. Makes a great stocking stuffer!

[@greghunter426]

I love this series, the seat belts are a perfect color.. Can't wait to see more of it..

[@Jobro_Ya_Know]

You the best dang channel to watch while having a cold snack. Props

[@victoroneill7924]

Surely Hurst makes a shifter for that transmission.

[@davidvoinier6008]

Yeah and it's the cheapest one they make, called the Mystery Shifter.

[@RustyKnucks]

And don't call me Surely

[@crsmith56]

Ronnie Bordeaux Thank you for seizing the opportunity. Beat me to it!

[@ronnyinwaxhaw]

Who is Shirley Hurst and what’s she got to do with it?

[@kimchipig]

@@ronnyinwaxhaw She was my prom date. Her school nickname is Igor.

When I was 16 back in 1961 I put a 36 ford coup together with an engine from a modified, isky cam 4 stromberg carbs, home made headers, and offy heads. no fenders or glass, a few gauges And hydraulic brakes . terrorized the neighborhood. Never got cought. Traded it for a 46 Ford convertible.It reminds me of your racer. Great memories. Use grey in the interior make it sort of street legal.

[@kiethcrimin2837]

That was a full race flat head 296cu in.

[@tjyork1983ia1]

🧖🛌 Can't wait to see the next episode. This is the stuff that Minnesotans living in Florida dream about 🏎️🏆

[@Trev0r98]

"Better than Brut"... oh dear god, *anything* is better than Brut. Even brake cleaner.

[@roberthutter74]

Can't go wrong with Aqua Velva

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Didn’t someone give ya shifter on last nights show?

[@redneckbmw1]

I think this was filmed before the livestream

[@emilmaki3001]

Wing it and bring it! This beast will drag you across the finish line holding on for dear life!

[@guynewport]

I'm probably not gonna sleep easily until I ask: didja fill that pesky brake fluid reservoir? Ya noted it's empty state an' then began flirtin' with the colors n' buckles on the harness. BTW, most informative and entertaining as well. Keep up the good work.

[@ViceGripGarage]

Yeah she's full up 👍👍

[@ShawnR718]

I personally think the purple works great can’t wait to see her out running wild

[@Lily54854]

The colors are the same as the original-

[@sbd4de3]

"You can tell because of the way that it is." Sounds like a guy's been listening to Vic's Neature Walk videos! :)

[@rhendrix8951]

How neat is that

[@scottinWV]

This is one that might have been better as a column shift.

[@mjmcomputers]

“Snot pimples” you got me there, busted out laughing.

[@duncandonovan5270]

Those seatbelts look great Derek..as does the whole car. It's ausumn!!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Another great episode of the race car Derek @ViceGripGarage

[@danthompson4879]

I was thinking you could just fab up a new shifter handle that "Z'd" out to the right side of your leg. Just a thought.

[@citationx4964]

I was thinking the same, like some big ol' bent truck shifter?

[@ericeaton371]

Just unbolt the handle and flip it around. Probably had it set up if he was more comfortable shifting left handed

[@mattlepperd5650]

I have a hurst Mystery Shifter for that thing. In the box, Vintage. Round shifter stick old school. You have my email. Shoot me a shipping address

[@Dan-ck4bg]

Here you go. It's in Derek's about section on here: Wanna send me junk? Or, maybe you don't have email? PO Box 48837 Minneapolis, MN, 55448

[@rexjolles]

My motto is "if it runs, it drives. If it drives, it's race ready"

[@davecarey7452]

It's got an engine, brakes, vintage welding on the chassis bracketrree. What is there to dislike? The competition will be seeing Nothin' but the Taillights.

[@alwayssearching1882]

Is Jessica going to film the race for us to watch Guy?
