I have to agree with others.... Cutting up an original gen ll Z28? As nice as this one "was" to start with, this should have been a restoration not a distruction.... Up side, it makes the rest of them worth that much more.....😊
Sure can't understand doing that too an original Z28 when there is so many other Gen 2 Camaros out there that would have been excellent candidates! Just saying! PEACE ✌️
Great build guys but I don’t understand a couple of things.. Why didn’t you paint the top of the cage before installing the roof? You are all very concerned about using the correct PPE, yet you are using grinders without guards??
Anybody else remember when they had good informative hosts? Doing the main hoop, he says the total length it needed to be, and then 0 about figuring out the bends or anything else involved..... or hey, lets make a bracket, I'll just head over to my plasma table...so relatable 😂 Weird build, put all that good stuff on the front, move the motor, but then stick with leafs in the back?
Great build and really enjoyed watching your video! I had a 72 RS SS Camaro just out of high school and sold it before i left for my new USAF base in Italy way back in the early 80's. Makes me wish I still had it!
Man, I had a 72 dark green camaro with the black landeu top back in like 1987- 1992 or so? Biggest regret I've ever had was selling it. Wonder if that's my old one? Sad thing is though is that I don't have any of the info on it. Got lost in the 5 moves and 2 marriages over the last 35 years.
Hate to see such a solid camaro butchered like this mainly because the split bumper is my favorite of all the camaros. We've all seen much worse classic cars brought back to full glory and this one was perfect for a restoration or resto-mod but not this.
You ran fuel lines next to the driveshaft, the transmission, the bell housing. Pretty sure that will fail tech inspection. A driveline failure could rupture those lines and cause a massive fire. Bad, bad idea.
What’s you two guys major malfunction? Why destroy a numbers matching Gen II Z28 and for what? An inline 6, why not. A 307, maybe, but butcher an original factory muscle? That’s unjustly. There’s a lot of things in life what’s not to do and this is one of them. SMFH.
I've been watching Power Nation since it started, This is my favorite episode ever, Awesome Build!
That looks fun.nice build
Pulling ol girl apart wouldve been a pleasure...so clean.😊

That car didn't look bad before it was chopped up. It wasn't a rust bucket. You ruined a great original car.
Great show. I prefer power nation over MotorTrend.
Was the sound not synchronized for anyone else? Just wondering
Was in the beginning then it went off

I'm a Mopar guy and was wondering the same thing
@@thralldumehammerAm a Mopar guy too from Sweden
Totally agree
@LogicalLighting Great minds think alike brother! PEACE ✌️
yeah like my 1979 Camaro I bought for $2500. They made more of those than any other year. I painted some insane stuff on it on my channel
The real hero is that drill bit at the 47:24 - 47:45
You guys should have run ladder bars or four links with them coil overs, instead of frigging leaf springs. In short, you should have back halved it❤
Hey dumb a... They're building a corner Carver not a drag car.
Great build guys but I don’t understand a couple of things..

When they were marking the holes for the rear deck lid they could have removed the fuel cell and went through there to mark the holes work smart guys

💙! this camaro
This car had the will to survive for 51 years until it got in the hands of these guys.
just listen to that motor sing , wow.
iI hate seeing a classic Camaro butchered into a race car. Can't even watch this happen!
😂 when you have an unlimited
corporate bank roll driving your
blasphemous attempts at hot
rodding.....

👌
👍
Why are the rockers installed in the firing order? Is it due to the cam lobs being at TDC or?
What is the totaly cost of this rebuild?
So let me understand this, because this beautiful example of an increasingly rare car had a dent in it
You think it's time to cut it up?
im at 18,973 dollars, bringing my ratty 71 Camaro back from the dead and its no where this kind of effort. this build must be 200,000 dollars?????
Took a nice classic car and phuktitup.
Not doing any corrosion treatment or paint on frame or undercarriage?
Oh yea, this is the "Let's take a pristine condition 70's Camaro , and hack the sh*t out of it" episode.
Victor Frankenstein wouldn't have done this to this car.

You should turn that ball cap around so you don’t look so silly
Whats different about this "director's cut" version?
Yo that junk the back shows they should have used hood pins a lot cheaper and not a lot of trouble to put in
Watched this years ago. Not sure who these two fellas are. I remember lots of hosts. But these two I dont recall. Both look the same. 😅
Nice🎉
Their ruining a perfect original car..stupid..
Agreed, preach
I agree
How do you ensure you make the rear flares symmetrical to each other instead of having two different potato-shapes?
Oh, I see... you don't
Can it spray plasti dip
So you welded solid bars out front to a car that has a bolted in cross member on polyurethane bushings..
Yeah it won’t crack..

something is missing,not that good .

What a way to ruin a beautiful car.
the good old days are gone and soon old peeps will be too. count your days, and your luck.
This car has been wrecked before, perfect candidate to make a race/track car.
Cry about it to yo mama.
Shut your mouth up bro let them do what they want to
I didn't see anything wrecked. I must have missed it.I would prefer a street legal race car.At the track they have more rules than law's on the street
@@no-purpose-herehow do you know the OP is old?
Boomers in the comments are in shambles. Great build.
