Hello brother did you finish this camaro?

Cold rolled makes good sense. That form of steel has better surface finish for exposed parts and panels. How well does it form compared to hot rolled? Is it easier to bent and shape?

Great job getting warmed up for the Camaro

Looks like you and Mr Fireman switched over from Camaro to rusty FWD’s

Great to see you back! How’s the pro-touring build going?

Is that 18 gauge in hot rolled or cold rolled steel?

Easy indeed… Yikes! Great presentation 👍

Haha!! Well, when I find something I like, I go for it. You've got good content, well presented, make good sense, and I can learn from you. My Firebird project is my first attempt at full resto.

That copper backing works great for me, when filling gaps/openings

I also love my rotisserie. Can't imagine doing all the restoration work while lying on the floor, with welding sparks falling down on me

I see you're in Winnipeg. I'm in Morden. Not too far away. I'm Roy with the '73 Firebird Formula.

The lizard skin sure kills the resonance of that door skin. I wonder how that adds to the quietness of the ride, when rolling down the highway? I'm working on a 73 Firebird Formula. It's on a rotisserie and I'm doing some sheet metal patches on the body.

My 1st Camaro I bought was in 1974, a 1968 Z/28 while in college. British green w/white stripes, and blk interior. A friend of mine is the current owner.

Head casting # is beside the valve springs. In ‘74 I bought a 1968 Z/28 for $3,000. British green w/blk interior. A friend of mine is the current owner.

Nice work!!

What welder do you use for this project?

classic wheels ride like crap.

Haven’t seen a video from you in a long while. How is the build coming along? New video coming soon??

On old school muscle I think Rally rims are the best or steel wheels and even the custom widened rallys

Anything over 15” is an abomination. Fact!

it sucks we have to tack weld sheet metal w/o warping. Love you attention to detail

excellent, very entertaining video, greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷🙋🏽‍♂️

have you seen anyone ever put more modern wheels on a classic van? like maybe a 70s dodge or ford? i wonder how that would look

Black wheels suck , period.....

Stashed in a closet for the last forty plus year are the 15 X 3.5s and 15 X 11 Fenton Gyro Racing Wheels off of my '70 Nova street freak .

Ken, did you paint the inside of the outer and inner rockers with "Steel It" also?

Thx for the reply..❤ yo work very detailed ❤.. well my 67 has very little rust🙏🙏.. I have L99 which I will convert to LS3 also will b using 6L80e transmission..wife wants to drive to😂..have few projects such as 65 fastback/ 55 Chevy truck big window n also 1972 240z..but need 1967 camaro done first..did the transmission tunnel..thx to u..got many ideas since it was first time.. i ❤ classic cars n trucks..this is my hobby not by trade..❤ to do all my work by my self.. bro keep the good work n videos coming...iam always watching yo work 👍

excellent work... wondering if u had welded the firewall together, like to see the video, iam doing same on my 67 camaro, i can get some ideas from u,,, i leaning a lot from yo work,thx

Do you have any info or videos of building your double frame jig? That is an awesome concept and I’d like to build one.

Thank you very much for this! I am doing suspension and transmission upgrades. The 6 speed manual with suspension upgrades demand the upgrade to the wheels because the tires simply can’t handle the additional speed the car is now capable of! 69 Super Bees were gear limited to 117 MPH now with 750 HP 6 speeds and Hotchkis suspension it will blow the tires off without trying 😅 I’ll come back to ya with the final results

I personally put 15" 5 spoke polished aluminum wheels on our '90 Century (fwd), along with Cooper Cobra rwl radial tires. It was as close as I could get at the time to a Torq Thrust look. This year Century vaguely reminds me of the 66 - 67 A body GM offerings, on a bit smaller platform which was why we bought it when it was new. I'm working on a '90 Ford Ranger I dragged out of a field a couple years ago and plan on using 15"x7" aluminum 5 slot wheels on it. I'm old enough to not care what is in vogue and am reliving what I liked when I was young. Might even put whitewall 70 series radials on it, which would not have been my preference back then.

real deal steel get the whole car new for $19000.00

Appreciate all the insight you share as you think through things. It’s like I’m there with you. 👊

You definitely have the knack to demystify the complex and break it down into understandable and entertaining content! I’m hooked! Keep it coming - your channel will explode.

Just found your channel - FANTASTIC content! My new favourite Camaro Build! 👏👏👏

Came across your channel looking for shaved firewall ideas on my 68 Camaro vert. Color me impressed. I truly appreciate your level of detail in everything you do and it has given me the faith and encouragement to do what I wanted to do. And luckily for me I started digging and found some remaining original repairs that I intend to fix properly. My father and I bought the 68 vert when I was still in highschool. We did a frame off resto replacing the rockers, quarters, and tail pan. I learned how to weld on this car almost two decades ago. Fast forward to 2023, I lost my father in January and managed to get the car back safe and sound. It was never quite finished though. Last it sat freshly painted with the drivetrain bolted up 13yr ago roughly. Time and mice have been busy accompanied by the moist climate in Michigan. So I’m restarting the restoration all over again from what was a custom restoration mainly factory based parts and turning it into a pro touring street car. I look forward to more videos from you and more helpful tips as well as ideas. Keep up the great work!

Classic modern wheels IMO

you got some awesome skills, Thanks for sharing.

Great video. Very informative. Thx

Really enjoyed your video so I subscribed and liked it . I’m an old hot rodder that uses great info like yours to impress my son with my capability’s.

back in the late 90s GM was still stamping out all square body P/U body parts in Mexico & they were cheaper than repro there were so many trucks still world wide it was worth it for them .... dont know if they still are

People should stay away from cheap chinese reproduction parts what they save on part cost, they will spend more in body work and time. Now if you ever do Porsche's, the main supplier has quite a bit of disparity in their parts, you can get a 1/4 panel that fits well and spend 8h replacing and the next one will fit poorly and you'll spend 12h replacing. Jaguar parts are an other headache, from the same supplier, at the same cost and part number you can get a physicaly correct part and one where features will be missing and/or of an incorrect gage, sometimes they fit sometimes they don't. On the E Type convertible 1/4 panels the shape of the repop one is so different than the original one that you can't replace just one or the car looks crooked. When you do these jobs professionnaly try to make an estimate. You can spend almost twice the time with the same parts from the same supplier or manufacturer.

I still have my 1967 RS, good news it was garage kept. The original 327 blew up in the late 70’s. All of us guys would take our cars down to the drag strip for some great fun. Today I’m replacing the parts and trying to get it back to original stock.

Dont cry about it. Quit crying and make it fit. If you know what you're doing!? Fix it. BooHoo

Funny, peugeot and citroen body parts allways fits perfectly within 0.3 mm. Why not usa parts?😮

I put a pair of skins on my 68 and they fit pretty poorly. They were labled Golden star. They had the window rail attached so maybe same as Dynacorn. That ended up being a nightmare because it was not in the right spot. Of course I found this out after paint when I was putting the glass in. The bumpers on the glasss would not clear the rail. It took some major modifications to correct that.

Hey, I have been struggling with my 70 Camaro hydraulic clutch bracket a bit. The first one I bought from Speedtech. The hole in the bracket for the hydraulic cylinder didn't line up well with the firewall hole but after a little massage on the firewall hole, I got it to work. Then I found the angle of the cylinder rod was coming in way too low on the stock clutch pedal. Speedtech instructions say to cut off the stock GM rod, add their rod and adjuster and problems will be solved. Well that make the rod too short and where they tell you to drill the pedal is just a terrible rod angle. So I go and buy another bracket from Custom Performance and their hole lines up even worse with the firewall but the bracket angle is much better for the cylinder push rod. So, cut and weld I go with the Speedtech bracket. Maybe the DSE bracket fits for a second gen? I suspect they need to be different.

I remember Belden made good stuff.

Had problems with aftermarket doors and fenders.
