Lowriding with Jay - Jay Leno's Garage

Tow it, yes, tow it, but now there are ways to control the fuel. I sent it to Kinsler from Michigan and they made all the bypass valves, there is a main bypass, a secondary bypass and a high speed bypass, but it is still raw fuel injection. It's considered a constant flow, true, but obviously the air was much cleaner in 1960, catch birds in that Kinsler thing we've used before for our Maserati injection. Well, obviously, this is a tram, it has license plates and look how clean, clean. The engine bay is here, now you've chromed this area here, the radiators like billet tanks, and then the fans are all chromed and I had to custom do this with these on these returns because there's no thermostat here, so I just comes out of the head.

See, now most of the guys, including me, just cut a piece of black hose and stick it here. I like the fact that you found yellow. What do you get? The yellow hose, believe it or not, comes off. the turbo for the turbo intercooler for the imported cars, oh okay, I found it online and searched for it very well. I mean, you could look under this hood for hours, the attention to detail is just incredible, even under the hood, it's beautifully painted here. detail, look at the stripes on the inside of the fender, well, just incredible, let's close the hood, now we will take a look at the driver's compartment, we modified the original grill so that normally you would have the four eyebrows here. which exposes the headlights and we backed them up and made a ghost grille now these don't open oh you're right okay so it just got sucked back in and this here is not originally a rubber row and yeah there's a guy on our club and lifestyle that it makes sense to replace the rubber.

Let's take a look inside. I really like the interior of this car. It looks like something if you went to the Pasadena Art Center where all the famous car designers go to school this looks like an interior they would make I especially like this floating bridge console here explain the origin of that advice the shape was that your idea well, that's an idea that I saw on a hot rod it was actually a 62 Bel-air with a bubble roof, okay, and they did something similar to that and we took a lot of our ideas about interiors from hot rod culture. , so outside we will go with the sweets and pearls. and then a hot rod interior and then a powerful engine and four-wheel disc brakes, so it's kind of a hybrid of what most people consider good.

I see more and more mixes of hot rod and low driving, you know, like you say old issac. oh, it'll only be a 23-7 of the two barrels that will go down the road, but you know, now you're like 409, what are you looking at? What are you getting around 460 horses? Yeah, actually, yeah, it looks like, of course, with the 4-speed transmission and then wow, this is the nicest interior I've ever seen, it looks almost like something a factory would make with a nice combination of orange and yellow, not over the top, really cool and Santa tell me about the boards, did you sew? the dash is a digital dash and a digital tachometer as well and then all the original knobs were removed and they just put a billet panel right there and chrome it so we went more for the soft cream so it doesn't mess up the interior.

It won't be too much, it doesn't make too much noise with the paint, it doesn't soften it a bit, which I thought was funny. I said how come there is no coverage here but that's part of the deal, well some people do but mostly. I wanted to show the chrome right spine grille and on the yellow top that had that yellow top, I too all the guys like to show off a nice grille, yes I have the twin antenna, you have to have the twin antenna, you have to have a double antenna, no. Get the dual antennas done right now, here's another one of those touches that would be lost if someone else was making the car.

Normally red taillights would look good, but he found orange taillights just to compensate, just a good combination, it wouldn't. You even get those wrinkles. I actually found them online and they are 63 correct original tail lights for Australia because in Australia they used amber, okay. Oh, so I saw them and they matched the paint, so it's just a little touch, so go dry and hand us over to Johnson. I could say why there are lowriders in Australia too, but they go down right on the other side, yeah, yeah, very cool and of course just look at God, I mean talk about how many angels he can have in his head. of pin look good at the detail here oh, it's just the way the artist signed it yeah, that was Walt, pray, okay, and this was Danny, but he's not with this girl anymore, he's not with her anymore, that one kind of tribute to him.

That's very well done, in fact, these paint jobs really came out of old dragsters and race boats, a lot of these candy and magenta colors, yeah, and we took those style paint jobs and put them on the lowriders. Now let's open the trunk and show us, show them here the hydraulic system. I want to show you some really clever out-of-the-box engineering, thinking this is very well done, take a look, good morning mr. bond dananddana tell us what we have here. I have four hydraulic pumps, one for each wheel. The entire hydraulic system is a late 50's early 60's airplane.

These motors are EMCO, an electrical engineering manufacturing company based in Los Angeles, they went out of business in the early 60's and those motors were used on the F-86 aircraft of the Korean War. The reason I like them is because it has a square motor in the field that you never see and then it goes back to this Bell design with the fan on it. back and runs four piston pumps, which is a New York air brake, they're still in business today, but it's all out of an airplane, these are hydraulic air made here in Burbank and Republic, zig decelerations -zag, visors, even the tank is oxygen. thin wall steel tank from the plane and we put all the accessories in so everything is period correct, yes, and I love the fact that you have all the labels on all the bombs, which have been very detailed and cleaned and of course , there are more beautiful works of art here, I mean just the engineering of this is just in people will be happy to make it work, but to make it beautiful and work, that's really impressive, of course, you have the closed speakers, yes.

Well, that gives you an idea of ​​what it's like on the outside, let's take it to the side, put it in the elevator and I'll show you that this is amazing underneath, come on, okay, come on, let's take a look. The attention to detail down here is that you have to have your wife here all day polishing this. It takes a few days to get everything ready. Yes, to go to a show, but the good thing is that it's a tram and you drive it. Yes, this breaks the course and the rear end is from a Lincoln Versailles.

Okay, we used a lot of those '77 to '79 ones because they're two inches narrower and then allow the reverse wheels to clear the mud flaps and then the sway bar. it comes out of 75 Monte Carlo, okay, yeah, mm-hmm, just for looks and you have the exhaust coming out the side, oh, so they're all chrome flowmasters, well, it's very well made, look how beautiful it is down here, it's really amazing. I mean every bolt, even you know, you put a socket wrench on something, you tighten it, you're going to take some Chrome Bob, no, nothing, I bought all the body mounts stainless steel and all the bolts under steel stainless and then I will polish them, yes, now the engine.

The block itself is the original four or nine, it's a 63 409 engine. I mean, you didn't make different cams or piston rings, well, it's 11 to 1, oh, it's 11, 11 to 1, which is actually factory and it has a Kesey 55 whistle. cam that lasts 592,608 but it has 100 octane, right, that's on Street Blaze fuel, right, right, right, no, just, yeah, cool, as you can see, It's not just a show car, it's a safe car, everything has been done correctly, nothing looks like it. I mean just amazing everything is fine many times you look under the show cars and this thing is a safety cable they are not you know whatever they are not made to code so to speak get some engraving in the suspension here oh yeah oh yeah look at that just a little bit so when you run over a guy I can say WOW this goes over the guy's nose well I look at the engraving on that wow that's awesome but chrome the rotors. all the clips have vented slots and of course you have all the arrow clip lines in there yeah well it's just beautiful work and it really is something.

Thanks Jay, it really is amazing. My teacher would say if Brandon spent so much time on his homework. and he works on her car, he'd be a straight A student, nice, it was probably time to take her for a ride, yeah, let's see if she rides as good as she looks, she bruises real good, she can feel like 409, she's got all kinds of can. I really just need more to push myself, died no date for the 66 foot bounce, yeah, but you know it's pretty good if you don't want to go too fast on these tires, yeah, you put the pedal to the metal once you shred those tires.

Nothing, I see that the others can be fun. You have between 10 and 50 cards. Let's go somewhere where it arrives. They all come. It's fun. Well, that's what it's about. Do you know if. I would say we have between 15 and 20 types. and all the cars look like this, like a big bag of Skittles, yes, a little bag of Skittles. I never heard that, yeah, that's very kind to lowriders, don't mess with me, well, you know, even if you don't like lowriders, when something is well made, you can't help but appreciate it, even if it's not your thing, You know it when you look at the engineering of this car and how the accessories are, nothing cries, everything is beautifully made, very well detailed, all the works of art, you can't like it.

You know, it's simply because it's so well done. You know that craftsmanship has its own beauty and even if something is not your color, as many people might think, this is eye-catching, in reality it is not because it is beautifully integrated, as I see orange. tail light, I mean, doesn't it seem like that's it for me? strident is when he throws garbage all over the plow. You know, this makes a statement and has its own unique look and is so well made but still soft. I can't help but appreciate the same thing with handmade knives. No, I'm not a nice guy, I don't carry a knife, but I have a couple of knife maker friends who make these beautiful blades that you just want to have. them because his artwork, yeah, and you know I'm, this is the same kind of craftsmanship, yeah, this time, he's a little slower than his, he's running high pressure pumps on the tailgate of these trucks Hey guys, I'm the lowrider that Jay feels. like I'm going up all this, I'm going down the unlimited positions, you have a couple of positions that you go - oh, it's wherever the bomb stops, okay, yeah, cool, if I kill it hey, I want to thank the voice Joe Jill thanks Brandon, it's me Jay, thanks, I'm back in this sixth in '66.

This is so much fun. I learned a lot about lowriders today. I hope you learned something too. You know, it's not all just paint and wheels. I mean, it's a lot. There's some thoughtful engineering here, and it's an art form unique to Los Angeles that's spreading around the world. You know, the French have their way of doing things, the Italians have their way of doing things and the people of Los Angeles obviously have their own way of doing things too. So it's great to see these racing and they are fun, colorful, exciting cars and actually people are very happy to see them next week, bye.
