Entertainment not instruction! We thought we would create this channel just to have some fun, and if in the process we can share something useful with folks well that's a big win! James and I work together nearly every day tinkering on one vehicle or another and haphazardly fumbling our way through most jobs. We're not professionals, and we make no such claim. Basically just a couple of ordinary folks wrenching away, learning as we go, and sharing some bad advice and how not to’s! We truly hope you enjoy what we share.

RATMARO progress! Our 1969 Camaro is a RUSTBUCKET!
In this episode we tackle the seat pans, work on cleaning up the subframe, and even tackle the large hole that was cut out of the trunk of our 1969 Chevy Camaro. This classic muscle car is a complete basket case, but it's great fun!

I think it'd help if the impact was turning the right way 😂 3:10
Just can't wait to see the Professional paint job on this Camaro !
😂😂😂
P.O.R. rust inhibitor works wonders look up on their website ! They also sell paint that seals the metal so rust will never return
Take that UGLY push bar off that car!!! What are you thinking? It's not a Truck!
If anything I go the other way, lift it with 33’s!!
My buddy said we would build one....
Get ‘er done!
what a waste of fresh water for a piece of rusted metal junk.
That’s funny, I would have gone with soap, didn’t think about fresh water…
I checked with the RATMARO factory and Paint was an option that was not available. Ratmaro uses rust instead (and dirt). Sorry.
Well it’s got plenty of that, endless supply!
You got a gem. I hope you do a series on the restoration!
Doing a series, just not sure I’d call it a “restoration”.
Put a manual in it!!! I am in the process of putting a Muncie in my 66 Impala. My Impala is the future home of the salvage yard Rat 454. Love the two car garage content! We have the same resources! Ha, ha!
If I can find one that’s what I’d like to do for sure!
Great video.. Would it be easier to roll it around if you put something on it to roll it around?... Wheels... lol..
Oh yeah, wheels, didn’t think of that lol. Thanks for watching!
I bought a 454 out of a motorhome from a salvage yard. It even had an Edelbrock carb on it. Paid $1,000 and skipped about $1500 worth of Marketplace 350 lies. Plus, it is a true Rat. Sorry that some jerk treated you like that!
You got a deal, I need to do more salvage yard hunting. Thanks for watching!
Nobody sees spot welds under the carpet.
Truth!
yep... y'a always manage to put a smile on my face.... funny man!
Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video I always enjoy watching. I give you a lot of credit for doing what you are doing. If I could do something like what your doing I would but I have medical issues so I enjoy watching what you have done so far. Keep up the great videos. 😊
Glad you enjoy them, thanks for watching!
Keep updating us . I love a junky appearing Camaro that really isn’t junk at all. Thank you for entertaining and educating me. .one day I’ll do the same thing
Thanks for watching!
I' am Loving that car, and your sense of humor! I would build it the same way, and will get more attention that a Foose car, in my opinion anyway, not that is matters haha!
Of course it does, thanks for commenting!
I enjoy watching the progress but got to stop with the VGG attempted humor.
Thanks for the input!
I would have bought it, ex race car, got a little history, will be a fun car eventually.
I think so too, looking forward to getting it out in public lol
This was a great video. I’m looking to put a new floor pan into my 71 Camaro. Never done it before but fuck it a couple UA-cam videos and some trial and error and it’ll get done. Thank you for not only explaining what you are doing but giving great visuals to what you are doing aswell. Very informative and helpful.👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Ratmaro is a great name
Thanks!
The commentary was great 😂 my dad had a 69 Z28
That’s awesome, thanks for watching!
coming along real nice
Thanks so much!
Use a4and a half inch grinder with a flap wheel
Good tip, thanks!
Omg man why go through that whole thing and not build it properly.
😂😂. Look. The dog is being a dog. Lol. You’re keeping your bp even. He’s doing the same. lol
Smart wife!!👍. Go Trump!! 24.
😂 when a cave man finds a relic. What ever 🎉
I enjoyed the video this is the first I saw it and it was interesting to see you working on the engine. Hope I see more. Thanks again for your video. 😊
Thanks for watching!
He’s definitely a grandfather. 😂. By the time he finishes this project. The 5 year old little girl will be graduating college!! 😂🎉🎉
6 months or so… how’s that engine coming? 🥹. Is it in the car yet? Or is it in pieces waiting for finishing 🤔😅
Working on the floors and such first.
This video sho😢 why so many people just surf porn and politics online. Maybe watch football or basketball all weekend slurping beers. On a positive note. This guy is the average knuckle buster across America. 😂. Me included. Yeah we can get screwed daily on Craigslist or marketplace. That’s a given. But.. you can only blame yourself. This is easily avoided by checking the block out “beforehand “ and passing money! It’s a boat anchor if it doesn’t turn with a breaker bar. Then!! You get it home and instead of just hanging the rest of the parts that are missing.. off the engine and starting it up if it had turned over by hand. You tear the engine open after and hour and a half of mounting it on your half froze antique engine stand. The positive here? You work as hard as a lumberjack in February in Manitoba Canada!! On this 450 dollar market place rip off. But.. so do washing machines. 🤷🏻♂️. Just saying.. because. Thousands of backyard mechanics out here do exactly that same thing. In archaic shops everywhere. 😂. So you made a video of how long and how tedious it is. Just to here an engine you’re going to have to tear down and refurbish later, run for a few minutes. Bravo! Thanks for you’re anti inspirational expose 😅! You are now.. a UA-cam legend! 🎉. Good luck with your Camaro build and have the patience of Job! 😀
Uh, ok, thanks!
As an engine builder this is scary. I’m too OCD, I’m tearing it all the way down getting all that paint out of the heads and blasting the block and repainting everything. Just me.
That would be the proper thing to do, but we’re gonna send it and see what happens!
You’re not ocd buddy. That block needs tanking ,machined steamed and prepped for a proper finish. Instead of spending a month getting it ready for a hillbilly test run. 🤷🏻♂️. Total waste of time and money. Save the headache for just a few dollars more.
Love the knocking, and your wife always seeing if you need anything! Keep up the great work!
Will certainly try, thanks!
Hey bud! Brings back some memories. I bought one just like it in 1988 and it was a puss case also. Mine had a running motor/4 speed but there wasnt a panel on or in that car that wasnt rusted out. Bought from original owner for $500 and worked on it four years and almost gave it away. 😢
Dang
Shit box 😂🤣
Crap just show the removal, why the lunacy
You could always just get a manual, they’re humorless…
I Always Wanted To Drive Mach 5 Just Like Speed Racer It's My Dream Driving Mach 5 Because Racing Cars Is My Life Driving Mach 5
I looked up gutting the interior on this. And your video popped up.😅This is coool
Glad you liked it!
I would do the same thing, budget build and have fun taking it on drives and car shows. It will turn more heads than a full resto. And, the old school Weld wheels are BaddAss Loving this channel and your humor. You and Derrick from VGG, crack me UP!
That’s awesome, thanks for watching!
where’d you get the brand new dash from
LMC truck.
Very nice truck and well done sir!
Thanks 👍
When is the next video on the Ratmaro??
Soon, real soon!
I saw that tricycle! Amazing 😊
Lol
It’s funny because sometimes I can’t see what he’s even doing, but what kept me glued to the screen was his freaking commentary nothing but gold 😂😂😂👍
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
That old beater is remarkably straight!
Yeah it’s not bad!
Fine.....I subscribed. Lol Can't wait to see how it goes. I have a 69RS that I bought off a high school friend and stuck in my parents' barn. I thank God that I've held onto it.
You’re one of the few that did, most stories I hear go the other way. Thanks for the sub!
MSD box plate??
Looks like exactly that!
Nice idea on the hood!
Thanks!
