What we call a "wishbone". 460 00:18:16,410 --> 00:18:18,910 Basically, it's a... We're making a triangulated four-link. 461 00:18:18,910 --> 00:18:20,810 {\an8}Once you install this on top of the rear end 462 00:18:20,877 --> 00:18:22,510 {\an8}and to the frame of the car, 463 00:18:22,510 --> 00:18:24,510 {\an8}you eliminate the Panhard bar and that's what's gonna keep 464 00:18:24,510 --> 00:18:26,510 the rear end from shifting side to side. 465 00:18:26,510 --> 00:18:28,610 This is not your typical rear end for a lowrider. 466 00:18:28,610 --> 00:18:31,209 This rear end has been modified, it's been strengthened, 467 00:18:31,209 --> 00:18:33,810 and it's also a Toyota rear end. 468 00:18:33,810 --> 00:18:36,143 These are very common to use on lowriders 469 00:18:36,143 --> 00:18:38,610 because you modify 'em. you put all your brackets that you need. 470 00:18:38,610 --> 00:18:40,309 Everything has been chromed, 471 00:18:40,309 --> 00:18:43,309 so everything is gonna look really nice in there. 472 00:18:43,309 --> 00:18:46,143 Well, right now, we need to modify the driveshaft, 473 00:18:46,143 --> 00:18:47,843 put a slip yoke on it. 474 00:18:50,010 --> 00:18:53,010 [Shorty] So, only one section is gonna get shortened on this driveshaft. 475 00:18:53,010 --> 00:18:55,443 The driveshaft is also special 476 00:18:55,510 --> 00:18:57,910 'cause it takes a different part, 477 00:18:57,910 --> 00:19:00,109 being connected to the Toyota rear end. 478 00:19:00,109 --> 00:19:02,043 This Toyota rear end that we're gonna put in here 479 00:19:02,043 --> 00:19:03,543 is made to fit one of these cars, 480 00:19:03,610 --> 00:19:06,710 but it has some mods that we won't be able to use, 481 00:19:06,777 --> 00:19:08,543 uh, the back park of the driveshaft. 482 00:19:08,610 --> 00:19:10,209 This new piece 483 00:19:10,209 --> 00:19:13,543 is what we're gonna be adding to the old piece. 484 00:19:13,610 --> 00:19:16,410 As you can see, it's a telescopic. 485 00:19:16,410 --> 00:19:18,910 So when the rear end... When the car goes up and down, 486 00:19:18,910 --> 00:19:21,309 this will actually be working, doing this. 487 00:19:26,209 --> 00:19:27,777 We had to cut out a part of the frame 488 00:19:27,777 --> 00:19:30,209 in order for the driveshaft to have enough clearance 489 00:19:30,209 --> 00:19:32,877 for the rear end when it goes up and down. 490 00:19:32,877 --> 00:19:36,410 And, like I said, this is for clearance of the driveshaft up and down. 491 00:19:36,410 --> 00:19:39,143 And now we're gonna move onto this tunnel. 492 00:19:46,810 --> 00:19:49,243 We're getting the body ready for the hydraulics to be installed. 493 00:19:49,309 --> 00:19:51,209 So now we're just prepping all the components 494 00:19:51,209 --> 00:19:53,610 and putting them together to get 'em ready to put in the car. 495 00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:55,810 This'll actually mount into the power bar here 496 00:19:55,810 --> 00:19:57,910 and then this coil's actually gonna sit up on top. 497 00:19:59,043 --> 00:20:00,877 Then, whenever it extends, you know, 498 00:20:00,877 --> 00:20:04,410 the shaft will come out and the spring will stay on top. 499 00:20:04,410 --> 00:20:07,010 [Sotero] Back in the day, normally, they would have a, 500 00:20:07,810 --> 00:20:09,443 a plate that was here 501 00:20:09,510 --> 00:20:12,209 with a little piece of cup 502 00:20:12,209 --> 00:20:14,309 and that coil will sit on there. 503 00:20:14,309 --> 00:20:17,043 So now they invented the power bar 504 00:20:17,043 --> 00:20:18,877 which, you know, it'll move. 505 00:20:18,877 --> 00:20:21,710 It's not gonna pull out of fall out out of place. 506 00:20:22,943 --> 00:20:24,243 [Marc] So it'll actually pivot 507 00:20:24,309 --> 00:20:25,610 with the car going up and down. 508 00:20:35,410 --> 00:20:37,276 [Shorty] We're making good progress on Paul's '59. 509 00:20:37,276 --> 00:20:38,910 We're gonna start cutting the trunk 510 00:20:38,977 --> 00:20:40,309 for the installment of the rack 511 00:20:40,309 --> 00:20:42,143 {\an8}and the hydraulic components. 512 00:20:42,143 --> 00:20:44,309 {\an8}We're gonna mock it up before we start cutting. 513 00:20:46,143 --> 00:20:47,710 {\an8}Right now, we're kinda laying out 514 00:20:47,710 --> 00:20:49,677 {\an8}to see how we're gonna cut our base material. 515 00:20:49,677 --> 00:20:52,076 We have a base plate that's gonna hold the pumps. 516 00:20:52,076 --> 00:20:53,576 That's gonna be mounted 517 00:20:53,576 --> 00:20:55,043 and it's gonna go from this wall. 518 00:20:55,043 --> 00:20:57,410 And the base plate is just big enough 519 00:20:57,476 --> 00:20:58,710 to fit between the wheel wells. 520 00:20:59,810 --> 00:21:01,677 But it sticks out 11.5 inches, 521 00:21:01,677 --> 00:21:03,710 so our rack is going to be... 522 00:21:03,777 --> 00:21:06,209 We're gonna move these over behind the wheel well, 523 00:21:06,209 --> 00:21:08,910 and that way, the base plate will come right next to it. 524 00:21:13,576 --> 00:21:15,710 [Shorty] What we have going on here... 525 00:21:15,777 --> 00:21:20,010 Marc asked me to cut him some slits in the trunk floor 526 00:21:20,010 --> 00:21:22,309 so we can put the brackets from the frame 527 00:21:22,376 --> 00:21:23,877 and weld them onto the frame of the car. 528 00:21:38,109 --> 00:21:40,209 You don't wanna knock it off, we can set it. 529 00:21:40,209 --> 00:21:41,510 It's already rocking. 530 00:21:44,143 --> 00:21:46,510 So now that we got it mocked up, we know... 531 00:21:47,710 --> 00:21:49,076 ...where we're gonna mount this pump. 532 00:21:49,076 --> 00:21:51,677 We're gonna make some brackets on the square tubing underneath. 533 00:21:51,677 --> 00:21:53,810 That way, we're gonna sandwich the plate and the pump, 534 00:21:53,877 --> 00:21:55,309 we'll weld together. 535 00:21:55,376 --> 00:21:57,176 We're gonna drill a hole in the backside of this plate 536 00:21:57,176 --> 00:21:58,810 so when we do our power cable 537 00:21:58,810 --> 00:22:00,410 it'll just drop down straight into the plate, 538 00:22:00,476 --> 00:22:02,010 so it'll make it look a lot cleaner, 539 00:22:02,010 --> 00:22:05,143 and then from there
