Thanks for taking my suggestion about showing us what you look for in one of these classic car purchases. Another great project, and another great video!
It's pure enjoyment watching you bring these 69 Camaros back to life. I wish I knew half of what I know now about these cars. My first 69 was an X44 with a 307 in it. I bought it for $1100 in 75 and didn't realize it had burnt valves in the engine. Got a retired mechanic to do a valve job and he just happened to have a intake manifold for a sb with a Quadrajet on it. Put dual exhaust on and I thought it was hot shit. LOL. Thanks again for the great videos and awesome attitude!
@@chs82ndab I have to say a 307 is not a bad motor at all. My friend years ago did a cam and gear changed in his 69 camaro with a 4 speed and that thing ran awesome!! Thank you very much for sharing!! I really love getting a car on the road when it’s been sitting for so long. Thank you and have a great day👍🏼AL
@@Ds755rxz Hello, they don’t have to be painted or mint to be able to enjoy and drive them. These cars are very doable with just basic tools and a little drive they can be put back on the road. I hope you enjoy these videos. Thank you very much👍🏼AL
@@Ds755rxz LOL!! Im telling you these cars are so doable! I’m hoping that’s these videos can help anyone with a project so they can get them back in the road and start enjoying them. Thank you and have an awesome day👍🏼AL
@@chuckypaonita7974 Hahahaha, that’s way I was laughing. He sometimes pulls right into the driveway so I can get a cone LOL. Thank you and have a great day👍🏼AL
@@RobL68CamaroSS It’s a shame when they’re left rotting away and just never finished. My neighbor has a 66 GTO fully loaded sitting on the side of his driveway for over 30 years rotting away. I asked him if he was interested in selling it, he told me no he was going to restore it, yup it’s still sitting there rotting away. Some people don’t realize they don’t have to be painted or perfect to drive and enjoy. Thank you very much👍🏼AL
Love it, quick advice, try not to show your whole vin number on your videos. I’m not sure how they do it but other UA-camrs that I’ve watched said they’ve had their Vin number stolen after showing it on a video and talking about what the numbers meant. keep up the great content. Can’t wait to see how far you get on this one.
@@zcam1969 it’s very common it’s that people don’t realize it. I didn’t forget about the ground straps I’ve just been so busy. I will post it in one of the next few videos👍🏼AL
If it was me, I wouldn't worry about switching over to power disc brakes. My buddy just bought a 1967 Camaro small block and left the 4 wheel non-power drum brakes. The car stops super easily. That will save you a full day, if not more. But that's just me.
@@Corvette.Ronnie I was going to leave it 4 wheel drum but just add a power booster just to help a little bit. You do have a good point! Thank you and have a great day👍🏼AL
If it locks up all 4, thats as good as they get discs or drums. Unless you build heat coming down mount Washington or something. I always told my son make em safe but put your money where it shows if you intend to sell it.
@@steeldoe559 Hello, they were on the light blue 69 that’s on the lift but in good shape. Wheels and tires make a big difference. Thank you and have a great day👍🏼AL
@@keepitsimplegarage-xp1kkI bought my first Camaro in 1978, 70 1/2 Rally Sport Z-28. It had more rust, dings and dents than yours and just plain clapped out. Car was from somewhere in Nassau, can’t remember now, I lived in Oakdale back then.
@@drewcrabtree9607 Hello, it’s crazy people stop by all the time to see what I have and want to buy it before it’s even done. I will keep you posted. Thank you very much👍🏼AL
@@gdfitzgibbon Hello, my friend keeps asking to buy it but I want to finish it first. I will know next week when hopefully it will be done if he’s going to buy it. Thank you very much and will keep you posted👍🏼AL
@@johnkovach1033 I have to say I’m kinda torn on whether to put it in all black or touch up the body and paint and leave it in blue. I’m definitely going to kick it around. Thank you👍🏼AL
@@kurtmans4284 Hello, it’s crazy people stop by all the time to see what I have and try to buy it before it’s finished. I love working outside and talking to people but kinda keep the garage door closed just to try to get things done sometimes. Thank you very much for asking. Have a great day👍🏼AL

nice car..sounds like a solid game plan.looking forward to seeing the progress
@@Rusty-er5tj Hello, it always looks good on paper LOL! Thank you very much and have a great day👍🏼AL
You make more sense than most restorers I have talked to. Just my kind of guy. You don't need to spend 50k on every car.

Nice video Al, you definitely like the 69, stay hydrated in this heat, and I also heard the ice cream truck lol
@@chuckypaonita7974 Hahahaha, that’s way I was laughing. He sometimes pulls right into the driveway so I can get a cone LOL. Thank you and have a great day👍🏼AL
Not every car has to be a Power Tour, fire breathing monster. Nice project.
@@johnkelly6942 I totally agree!! I don’t think you have to have paint on a car for it to be a great cruiser. Thank you👍🏼AL
Awesome video brother really appreciate the content! Keep it up
@@Primal_fx_bandit Hello, Thank you very much! Have an awesome day👍🏼AL
Dash looks like the worst rust? That’s a solid car. Perfect for building what you want or restore. Nice find.

@@keepitsimplegarage-xp1kk do they make a tintable epoxy primer? Make it blue again?
It’s nice to see that you saved another car from wasting away sitting, waiting to get worked on.

Yeah Al looks like u found a real decent car. A win for u and the next owner.
@@VinoRatRodbuilds it’s not a bad car, it just needs things here and there but not bad. Thank and have a great day👍🏼AL
AL you are right about the rear frame rails being cracked at the bend , my car rails are cracked , i need to get them wielded
@@zcam1969 it’s very common it’s that people don’t realize it. I didn’t forget about the ground straps I’ve just been so busy. I will post it in one of the next few videos👍🏼AL
@@keepitsimplegarage-xp1kk its ok i grounded in 3 place but it's not turning over, i guess i need a higher amp battery
those mono leaf springs might be the cause of those cars cracking the rear frame rails .idk
@@zcam1969 it’s possible👍🏼

"I'm not going to go crazy on this car" None of us ever do, right Al?
@@Chevchild Hahahaha you got me on that. I just felt it would be a nice project to get back on the road. Have a great day👍🏼AL

If it helps my case, I was born in Amityville Hospital, and raised in Levittown. Now in Albuquerque. 😂😂
@@gdfitzgibbon Hello, where in Levittown were you raised.
2 fiddler lane and prentice on the corner with the “underground garage”.
great start for the new owner what about just cleaning it with AJAX WITH BLEACH AFTER THE REPAIRS ARE MADE?
@@johnkovach1033 I have to say I’m kinda torn on whether to put it in all black or touch up the body and paint and leave it in blue. I’m definitely going to kick it around. Thank you👍🏼AL
Yeah, kind of appeals to the patina crowd.
@@stevenbauer2205 I agree with you! I’m not sure the direction I want to take it in. Thank you👍🏼AL
Quit selling all these cars to your buddies give some of us a chance
