Update Now Available!

Employee Customer Service Rep. since 2002MEET JOE O’LOUGHLIN

SPOTLIGHTGET TO KNOW YOUR FAVORITE DANCHUK EMPLOYEES!A majority of employees have been with Danchuk for more than 10+ years which is why we tend to considered ourselves Tri-Five experts. We hope you agree and enjoy taking a moment to get to know our employees!

Q: Can you tell us a little about yourself? A: I’m originally from the East Coast, but have been in Southern California since 1970. I’m married with two children. We enjoy music events, cooking and family hang-outs. I’ve owned a ‘55 2-Door 210 Sedan for the last 17 years and it’s a driving resto. I’ve been in the auto parts industry for a total of 33 years and feel right at home at Danchuk. Q: What’s your favorite Tri-Five model?A: I like the 1955 2-door 150 Sedan the best. I’m into simple designs, less adornments and clean body lines. Nowadays, there are so many parts available for the 55’s that you can go in either direction, original resto or resto-mod style. Q: What’s the best thing about being a Danchuk Customer Service Rep?A: I enjoy the challenge of figuring out what parts my customers need as well as also helping them figuring out their technical issues. If I don’t have the answer, it’s great to be able to troubleshoot with my co-workers. Part of our job is problem solving so I’m constantly learning more from the our other customer service reps here. Many of my co-workers have hands-on experience fixing these cars and working on them nights and weekends. I really take my hat off to them and all our customers who are hands-on with their projects.


Back in 2006 Danchuk conducted an experiment. We’ve always said all anyone needs is a body and they could build an entire car out of our catalog so we put that idea to the test by building a ‘57 Resto-Mod for the 50th anniversary of the 1957 Chevy. The car came out really nice and it was built with items readily available in the Danchuk catalog. It has been displayed on the front lawn of our building in Santa Ana, California ever since. Super Chevy even dubbed it “Lawn Art” in an article they did on the car back in 2008.

Fast forward 10 plus years to 2019 and it started to become noticeable that our Lawn Art was showing it’s age. The paint needed attention, interior needed attention and all around the beautiful build we did 12 years ago is looking a little…well…dated. Not to mention the little quirks that show up when you just don’t drive a car at all…except to put it up on the lawn and put it away each day. We had planned taking our ‘57 on the road but short trips around town were getting increasingly harder due to the cars unreliability. We had electrical problems, mechanical issues, leaks, a really annoying miss in the engine,

all the things that make you not trust your ride. We realized it was time to freshen up the car, update it for 2019 and make it trustworthy again so we could take it anywhere without worrying.We started by taking the car to our painter, Eddie Meek. There were some spots where the paint was peeling and we wanted those fixed first. Once Eddie was done we turned our attention to the upgrades and repairs to the rest of the car.

Enter Aaron Hamusek from Orange County Hot Rods. Aaron of-fered to rework our old project car (he actually started building this car for us back in 2006) and bring her into the 2019’s. We could not think of a better person to do the job. Aaron really knows his way around a Tri-Five so we knew our car would be in good hands. Originally this rework was just supposed to be a clean up, fix the gremlins that make the car reliable, add some really cool new items and replace some others to bring the car up to date . . . . Originally.

Red SledFROM LAWN ART TO Danchuk reinvents their iconic Red ‘57 with the help of some tried and true vendors.

Aaron at Orange County Hot Rods for the long hours, excellent work, expertise and advice, TMI Products for the awesome interior kit and for inadvertently getting this project started and Mike Martin for keeping it all coordinated and on track.

We also want to thank the following vendors:

• Dakota Digital Retro Tech RTX Instruments

• Vintage Air Front Runner Pulley System

• Edelbrock Pro-Flo 4 Fuel Injection Kit

• Eddie Motorsports Billet Hood Hinges and Braces and Hood Latch Support Kit

• Custom Autosound USA-740 Stereo

• Notchead Line Clamps

• American Legend Racer Wheels

• McMahan Nitto NT555 G2 Tires

• Wilwood 6-Piston Calipers and Master Cylinder

• Dapper Lighting HDR Switchback Halo Headlights

• Art Morrison Chassis - GT55 Chassis

a special thanks to . . .

the


The biggest reason for this decision was the leaking automatic transmission caused by some crushed lines due to improper installation. As a result, there was tranny fluid all over our beautiful polished transmission and awesome Morrison GT55 Chassis. We were replacing the exhaust and doing some up-dates on the parking brake system anyway so by taking the car off the frame that work, and the cleaning and the detailing would be easier. Once the car was off the frame the engine and transmission were removed. The transmission was cleaned (you couldn’t tell it was polished when it came out) and the engine was partially disassembled so it could be painted body color. The rear end was removed, disassembled and reassembled with new gaskets and seals. The Wilwood brakes that came with the chassis were replaced with updated 6-piston units. The new electric E-Stop parking brake system was installed and set up to work on the newly reworked rear end. Once that was done and the engine and trans were back in the chassis Aaron installed the headers and bent a custom exhaust system that

fits like a glove. The new exhaust system is awesome and the Flowmaster 50’s are not going to rattle the teeth of the people driving or riding in the car, which gets annoying after a couple hundred miles.

When Aaron got to the body all that was supposed to happen was that a few items were to be replaced, just to freshen them up. Side panel inserts, headlight bezels and taillight assemblies. But when Aaron stripped off the first piece of side stainless he ran into another problem. There was rust on the quarters and moss growing behind the stainless. Not good. Aaron cleaned everything up, fixed the rust, reworked the panels and repainted them. By the time he was done you couldn’t tell there was ever a problem. The body was then reinstalled on the Morrison chassis. Our Lawn Art ‘s transformation into Red Sled was getting closer.The body went back on the frame and attention was turned to the inside of the car. But when we got under the dash to replace the Vintage Air unit and install the new Dakota Digital gauges and

Once Aaron got hold of the car things changed drastically. After assessing the problems (it was worse than we thought) and the condition of our “Lawn Art” the plan of action became…frame off restoration.And that’s just what he did!


Custom Autosound US-740 stereo we ran into another problem. The American Autowire Update Series under dash wiring was a mess. It looked like a rats nest. Aaron has installed hundreds of the AAW wiring kits so he knew just what to do to put things back in order. Once that was done and the gauges and stereo were in, the new under dash unit for the updated Vintage Air was installed.

Upgrades to the appearance of the engine compartment and replacement of the outdated items on engine could now begin. The old valve covers and air cleaner were replaced with a set of Billet Specialties “Streamline” valve covers and matching air cleaner painted Torch Red to match the exterior of the car. The intake for the new Edelbrock Pro-Flo 4 injection was also painted body color to match the engine. Aaron then tackled the rest of the under hood updates and reworks. Aaron made all new HVAC lines, which now ran thru the firewall cowl area on the passenger side behind the hood hinge. (The new kits from Vintage Air not only eliminate the cables, using all electronic switches instead, but make for a much cleaner looking installa-tion). While he was at it Aaron also installed new re-routed lines for the Hydro-Boost brake booster and power steering, added new custom bent hard lines from the transmission to the new Derale transmission cooler, hard lines for the AC condenser and for the overflow can for the radiator. He also installed the new Wilwood master cylinder on our Hydro-Boost unit and plumbed it with new lines.

When it came to hooking up the cooling system instead of the outdated corrugated chrome radiator hoses and heater hoses we used rubber hose with a metal tube connector, fabricated by Aaron, and the trick new Gates heat shrinkable hose clamps. These clamps not only look nice…but they work much better than conventional screw type clamps. Next, Aaron turned his attention to installing our beautiful TMI Interior. The TMI system is basically a custom interior that you can buy complete and install yourself making waiting for the upholstery guy to get around to your car a thing of the past. And they are beautiful. We opted for the whole package including the dash cover and one piece headliner, which we felt would really change the look of our car and finish off the transformation from Lawn Art to 2019 Boulevard Cruiser. Aaron said the kit is a snap to install and everything you need comes in the box. We think it looks awesome and it really makes the car. And the best part is we didn’t have to wait for an upholstery shop. Aaron had it installed in a couple of days.

So that’s it, Lawn Art has been transformed into Red Sled…which we will be showing off at various shows around the U.S. for the next several years. You can find a complete list of what was done and contributors in the extended version of our article on our Blog along with some links to videos and additional articles about the build. Just go to: https://danchukusa.com/Red_Sled

Look for us at a Show near you!


Aaron came to work for Danchuk in the late 80’s and in the 14 years he was here he mastered our Customer Service Department before moving over to our R&D department where he did new part de-velopment, reworking of existing parts that need-ed to be improved, reworking vendor parts that weren’t quite up to scratch and fabrication. He also headed up Dan Danchuk’s personal restora-tion shop for many years and was instrumental in the restoration of several cars in Dan Danchuk’s personal collection. Aaron restored, with Rich Ev-ans at Huntington Beach Body Works, Danchuk’s Turquoise and Ivory 56 convertible and was in the process of building our 1957 2-door hardtop (from the article in this publication) when he left to go on his own, his lifelong dream.

But always, on the side, Aaron worked on Tri-Fives for customers building a reputation in the So Cal Tri-Five scene as the go to guy for anything you needed done to a Shoebox. Aaron has spent 30 years honing his craft and in 2006 he decided the time had come to realize his ultimate dream. To own a shop that specialized in Tri-Five Chevy’s. Orange County Hot Rods was born.

Orange County Hot Rods is a full service facility. They will do full restorations, rewire your car, install fuel injection, bag your vehicle, fix the little things wrong with your ride…and everything in between. They also specialize in fabrication and welding. If it can be made…Aaron can make it. They pre-fer Chevrolet cars and trucks…but if you have any project…this is the place to go. They are working on a 49 Merc along with other projects at the mo-ment.

Shop SPOTLIGHTOrange County Hot Rods, in Corona, California is a family run full service restoration shop owned by Aaron Hamusek, a long time friend of Dan-chuk. Aaron has owned and has been working on Tri-Five Chevy’s since he was in high school and if you ask him he will tell you that they are his passion.
