Mid-Year Mitch
Приєднався 2 лют 2018
Welcome to my UA-cam channel. I am a mechanical engineer by trait but I am passionate about classic cars. I wanted to structure this channel around classic Corvettes because I wanted to share my projects with other enthusiasts. My love for Corvettes started with the restoration of my dads 1965 Corvette that he got in high school. That car taught me a lot about restorations. It also helped us get the 1963 Split Window because Frank liked that it would be a father son project. That car has been off the road since 1981 and 90% of the components were missing we only got the body, frame, and drivetrain.
Now I am helping work on a 1960 Corvette that was also owned by our friend Frank who owned the 1963 vette. I’m excited to share these projects and any other cars that come my way.

57 is the most beautiful by far
Really enjoy your content. It is excellent. Never owned a C1 or C2. However, C3 and C4s. C2 is on the list. Hopefully someday we will talk.
both 56 and 57 are absolutely beautiful, but there's something about being able to say...."i own a 57 chevy", so i vote 57
Mitch, the epitome of one man’s junk another man’s treasure… Love how he can look at a pile & I mean pile of busted fiberglass parts but see’s a complete car…
Hi Mitch, hey, you’re selling T-shirts? Where can I buy a large? Also, I would love a sticker for my shop cabinets if you have those. Thanks so much. P.S. I like the 58’ 😊👍🏻
I love your content and the way you explain what you are doing, thank you for your love of my favorite car.
Mitch, I follow you and like what you do. I think you might be in line for a larger facility.
It looks like the “hood hold open used on the ‘55 (‘56?) Corvette is the same part used on the ‘55-‘57 Nomads. Just a geeky comment from one interest group to another!
Mitch, I have followed your videos from almost the beginning. I can truly say, that you will someday be a superstar in the Corvette world.
'pretty decent start'...looks at 3 toothpicks and some blue paint. Only mid-year mitch!
Mitch it was pleasure for my son and I to meet you Thursday at Carlisle. We have been doing Vetts for a long time. Fortunately we have been able to source bodys with better starting points than you show on your channel. It is great fun to watch your rebuilds. I would definitely go with a 56-57 Corvette Body. Put a lower seat with a longer set back with tilt wheel Roadster Shop frame and go.

Great vid as usual! Enthusiasm makes the difference in your videos! Missed Carlisle again! Darn it! Maybe Spring!
Hey guys thanks for the support to my channel as well as my friends channels. That means the world to me and it shows how great the car community is.
hi Mitch, this is Liam (the editor) i appreciate the shoutout so much. I just finished my Grandpas video on carlisle! its is so cool the reach you have again i appreciate the shout out so much
Mitch…you are doing great. It’s also fun to watch all of you all coming together...the other content makers. I’ve subscribed to them all. Keep it up! You inspire us all!
Was so great to meet you and your wife at Carlisle last Friday. Really like your channel.
Subscribed to all Mitch! 👍🏻🫵🏻👊🏻
Ok Mitch, I was on 3 and now I'm on all 5. Full speed ahead.
Dynamic Corvette built a local guy's Corvette which is how I found out about them. I think your channel was suggested because of his. I'll check out the other channels. Many of the channels here are better than what we get on TV and we can help each other to get our projects on the road.
can you show how to get to and replace the #4 body mount blind nut on a 66 coupe.
Hey there Mitch, I'll be sure to give them a watch. Looking forward to any Carlisle videos! Take care, Dan
I don't always watch Midyear Mitch, but when I do...ah, hell yes I do always watch
Love it, Mitch! Can’t wait you always make great videos ! Surprise I didn’t stumble upon you at Carlisle was my first time this year oh well maybe next year !
Please post links
Good call! I added the cards in the video
Man, it hurts my heart to see those rims on a 68 big block car.....those belong on a 77 350 auto car.....she needs a set of rally wheels
Thanks Mitch, You are a class act!
Sure thing buddy! I got you.
Great setup - looking forward to seeing them all come together. 👍
awesome work, mitch!
Love your videos - thank you!!!
Didn’t make there this year Mitch … Its good to how far you’ve progressed in the last three years ! 😊
I watched PowerNation take a 305 and put a cam, heads and dropped a stroker crankshaft in it and made 500hp. Go see the video
quick coat of black etch on the chassis? might rust on the way there if the weather changes or the trip is overnight and there is dew????
I sprayed it down with a little WD40. I prefer to leave them raw to display them. It shows all the welds and the true quality of the work. I had a lot of people that were excited to see it bare. It also didn’t rain so it worked out. And I didn’t have any time to take it apart, paint it, and put it back together.
Thanks for this video Mitch , I think I told you before that the last time I was at CAC , Zora was there .Looking forward to seeing more of your videos . I've wondered , with you at Carlisle does this help you get more subscribers ?
I look at the new Corvettes and I do not see a Corvette...My generation grew up with 53 to 66 Vettes. For myself, the end came in 68 with the C2 Mako Shark...Thanks for your channel...great stuff !!
Things that don't change get lost in the dustbin of history. Don't get me wrong, the C1 and C2 generations are my favorites by far, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating the performance of later generations. I have a C5 I've put well over 100k miles on. When you fixate on the past, it prevents you from appreciating the present.
@@JustSomeJoe-dp5rp Lol, I must admit, C5's are quite nice & with the 5.7L...yeah !! Maybe I'll a little jealous 😂
@@ltdees2362 Haha, no need to be jealous, C5's are a dime a dozen at this point! They get surprisingly good gas mileage (for a sports car), the LS is pretty much bulletproof and personally, I think they still look relatively "modern", where the C4 definitely looks like a child of the '80s. But no question, I'd trade mine for even a basket case C2 in a hot second!
Great preparations of display for the event at Carlisle! I'd love to be there live!
Lol, only Mitch can take 2 sections of conduit, smack them on the floor and have them end up with the same curve. Outstanding. Sounds like some great projects on the way. Plus we can't wait to see what is going on with the Camaro. Maybe one of these upcoming builds will support 6 tail lights?
Damn sorry I missed your display. Have to catch you next year if you're there.
Mitch great to meet you at Carlisle. My son and I are avid Corvette Guys. Enjoy your Videos I roll on a handicap scooter but still come to meets in a 65 Coupe.
Good stuff bud. If ya need c2 conv doors I have some and a driver coupe door. 64-67. Worse part - in Reno , doors empty
How do you locate the body parts and how do you title them?
don't you answer your messages - where are you located ? and are you taking on new projects ? 3rd time we've messaged
Sorry I’m too busy to keep up with the hundreds of messages I get and I am not taking on any new projects until 2026 or later. This is my hobby and I still have a full time job as well.
Hey there Mitch, Looks you hauled a lot of gear to Carlisle. Hope you had fun! I need to get there some time. Take care, Dan
G’day Mitch I’m in Australia and I’m planning a vette project I’m interested in the roadstershop chassis I m wondering how I can get in contact to discuss what I would like to do and if you have any advice you offer or share
like 28 !
Hey Mitch great video, I was wondering if there was a process you use when taking the doors off in order to get them back on exactly where they were? Some folks drill a small hole in the hinges, or scribe them… I’m doing this by myself, so watching you gives me ambition just looking for a better way! Thank for your videos!
Thanks for watching and good question. At this stage of a build I don’t make any type of mark. The reason for that is these doors are empty shells without glass, regulators, or door panels. When the doors are loaded they will have to be lifted up a little bit more. If you are in final bodywork and you have done your mock-up then you could drill your holes. When I line up doors I normally put a couple wooden wedges between the door and the rocker and tap them in with a dead blow hammer. I’ll tighten the bolts and see where I’m at and continue to make small adjustments. The wooden blocks hold the door where it needs to be and it allows you to make small adjustments.
Where can I get information on Camaro body assembly is there a book or documentation available, also what about other cars/trucks that have all the available sheet metal to make a vehicle how would I learn how to assemble other cars/trucks.
I understood, & could easily see, everything but main point - picture of those connectors - & how exactly they work- ironic✋
Great video; I might add that if you are replacing plug wires, you can slide the plug head off of the new wires for plugs 1 and 3 nd 2 and 4 and then tape the new wires to the old wires, pulling them through the motor mounts easily. I just did all of my wires in under an hour, even though I thought it would take much longer.

Are you adding the 63 louvered hood? I might be in the minority, but I like the 65 - 66 front fenders better than the 63 - 64.
