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 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!

    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! 😀
