During the first drive of the season in my father’s 1966 Buick Skylark I heard a strange noise coming from the right front wheel, which left us stranded and needing a tow home. After inspecting the damage it was time to give the car some upgrades with Baer disc brakes up front (SKU 4301432) and new shocks all the way around. No, this one is NOT FOR SALE! As always, thanks for watching!

Puddin on one TV. Morske on the other just joined I want that. Nomad
Dont think i have ever heard someone didnt like discs and went back to drums. Odd.
Enjoy your video's, Don't tell Puddin. Plus i love the way you Chat with Duff. I really think he understands you.
You should consider getting a kinetic tow rope .
Im a bit surprised that you haven't mentioned what happened brent with his losing everything in a shop fire a few weeks ago.
Brings back memories when i had a Buick Skylark GS. It was a peppy cruiser. Definitely a sporty road boat. Lots of metal and steel in cars those days.
Buick time…
Sounds great !
I learned about bedding in brake pads many years ago but seasoning rotors is new to me too.
A good Friend told me to get away from the main roads in the country, there are a lot of old vehicles that not many people see as they are away from the beaten path. Some he found would surprise you.
Try cold water and Tide detergent. Steam will possibly set the stain in.
Called, of all things, the inner race.
That was a hair too close on getting fuel to the exhaust. Good thing you managed to solve it before it would have caught fire. Seeing mojo just wack the hammer is actually so relaxing. Specially after having a hard day at work. Love the disc brake conversion.
Great video Mortske. Thanks for sharing.
that view makes me miss nebraska lol …i didnt know i would miss that flat ass earth lol
Time now to kick back after an exhausting day , pulling folks out of wet situations . The Buick is now safe to drive , probably the safest Buick ( for it's year and model ) in the entire U S of A . I can hardly wait for the next video , but until then , Stay safe , keep the pedal to the metal , Stuart in Ontario…………………………..
So you're biased against Mich products because of their color and sticker placement — ppl believe its the cars, but Mich top exports are brakes, shocks, wiring harnesses and electronic components.. We'll be fine without ya.
Gotta love life in the upper Midwest! All this episode lacked was a visit to Menards. Always appreciate your and Chin's work..
Holy crap Mortske needs a Yankum!
