That started to look like my 62 C10 project pretty quick! It is a ton of work, but very rewarding as you near the finish line and get it all back together! Patience and multiple fittings are a must! Nice work!
Wow, getting into the lead seam was WAY more than I had expected, I think 99% of folks would leave most of the c-pillar, the door jamb, and even the trunk gutter to make it easier to line everything up. That little voice in the back of your head is the perfectionist, and if there's one thing I learned from my old man it's "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right the first time." Nice-NICE!
Great Job. Even door to quarter panel and trunk to quarter panel gaps look fantastic for just your first mock up. Looks like your right on the money. 17 when this car was produced. I'll get to live my teenage years through your videos on saving this this early iconic SS Chevelle. 66 thru 71's were the best, especially the LS6 1970. You were born with a gift of learning this craft. Keep up the great work. Watched this video twice. Can always pick up something I missed. Currently completely doing a 57 Chevy 2dr Sedan. So far, all new floor, trunk floor, rockers. Am ready to put passenger quarter on. Thanks for the insentive you give me to keep working on it. Much appreciated.
i actually have the same year/car leaving my shop. the car i worked on , they pulled it out of the mud sitting sideways. Half the car was gone. But i was able to restore the car on the metalwork. i chuckled some when you where trying to fit the quarter panel and also your helper said he rather cut the part on than take the tub off and put it back on.. cause that was exactly what i went thru. Those quarters are tricky to get on for sure, i ended up cutting down the little tab inside the rear window frame/post area to make it easier to fit the quarter, but was still a pain. Youre doing good, keep up the good work ...
Well big brother..... I'm glad you took the time to school the hard core out there about this repair.... I laugh .... but at the same time it will show how good you are at what you do.... Hey big brother You the man..... stay cool..
Hats off to you guys who know how & got no fear of cutting a car apart & making it right afterwards. My ocd would be so bad Id never be able to finish one piece and it would rot back into the ground lol. THis ones worth bringing back. Boxed frame, 4 link is a great setup just the way it is.
Thanks for sharing, Travis! The way you blew that apart was nothing short of amazing! I find there's something magical about studying the before-and-after shots of your fabricating sessions! I'm happy with "relative improvement"! You, on the other hand, strive for and deliver perfection! 'Always an education, watching you! Enjoy! Bro Harry
I have the same spot welder and found it a bit limited in reach, so I made longer arms with deeper bends, so now its reach is really great. Tip: drill and tap the ends for the tips before bending the arms. Copper rod cost around $30.00.
I wish I was nearby so I could help and see it finished! I've had several Chevelle's in the past. 1 70 & 3 67's 1 was an SS we called the Yellow Turtle. it had the 396 & 4 speed, with A V gate shifter. Black Diamond tuck Interior. 75 corvette yellow with A little purl. At the time it was the fastest car in town, I loved that car but the cops did'nt. So I had to sell it an take my hotroding to the track. I had several 71 Camaro's so I built my stock car. But that's another story.
Bro you are a badass you are one of the best fab guys I’ve ever seen I’ve learned a shit ton from you n if you’re doing it wrong owell if it looks right when you are finished thanks for sharing your passion with us highly appreciated ps cars to new in years for me I love the older hotrods like the 30s to 50s lol 😂
In my mind, no process of rebuilding can be wrong, as long as the customer is satisfied with the end results. It's the customer that matters, not the viewers.
GOOD JOB. to be definitively efficient against rust , you should put grease everywhere. grease is the only thing very efficient against rust. put grease between metal and carpet, inside door, behind metallic bumper, under the vehicle, behind the repairs you can make (everywhere inside the body - hidden erea - instead of using paint), hollow areas (necessarily hidden, so no need to be aesthetic). For rear wings unreachable with a paintbrush, use an extender and pour old oil everywhere each year. Rust almost always comes from the inside and welds. Handyman Experience - 35 years. From france
I’m going to do it for a while and see if theres a change. I had a bump in subscribers vs the last video but that could be cause it’s a Chevelle video and I do mostly ford stuff
I saw no reason to replace the quarters???????? What little rust they had would have been much easier to repair, plus the fact you ruined a bunch of panels that had no damage at all. :(

I totally agree we need more of this kind of work.

It sure is! You gotta fit it so many times but worth it

Haha thanks brother!! Make it NICE NICE!
This one of the most informative videos I’ve seen on 66/67 quarter panel install
Thank you!
I had a big long story about "the one that got away" , I'll just say ,that's one of my favorite cars . Good video and great work as usual .
Thanks Ted!
60-70’s cars are kinda my wheel house. You did great man. 👍🏻
Thanks brother!

Thank you so much! I’m glad I can be of some help, tomorrows video I put the quarter on for good
It's looking good and that's my favorite car . Hell yeah 💯👍👍
Right on! It’s a cool car

Yeah haha those quarters are a pain to get on and off for test fitting. We got it though 😆
Great metal work, on a classic great Chevelle!
Thank you kindly!
You are the master and make it look easy even though it is not. It is cool that you have some one working with you and he can learn alot with you.
Yeah I hope we can work well together for a while
Well big brother..... I'm glad you took the time to school the hard core out there about this repair.... I laugh .... but at the same time it will show how good you are at what you do.... Hey big brother You the man..... stay cool..
Remember.... not everyone can do this type of work.... be proud...
I appreciate that brother!
great work, used to have a 66 and really miss that car!
It’s a good one!
I have a 66 Chevelle that I will be doing this to soon. Thanks for the video. Great job.

I gotta say you absolutely do it right! Nice work!
I appreciate that!
Good job 👍. Love your work ethic 😊JR in 🇨🇦

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Harry!
Nice job, I think you should be proud of your work on the car so far 😊
Thanks! First time quarter scared me a bit lol
I have the same spot welder and found it a bit limited in reach, so I made longer arms with deeper bends, so now its reach is really great. Tip: drill and tap the ends for the tips before bending the arms. Copper rod cost around $30.00.
I’ll most likely make some more arms for hard to reach places. Good tips on making them!
I'm more into the old hotrods but a 67 Big Block SS Chevelle is like a 32 3 window coupe. Great car and great work!
I totally agree!
Real nice job Travis and Jake Coming out very nice
This quarter is so nice! Old GM factory quarter
You do very good work Young Fellow...great video
I appreciate that
Looking great so far 👍
Thanks 👍
Quote from my high school Ag teacher "Don't NEVER!use a damn hammer on a screwdriver!" 😆Don't know what he was thinking
Great video and nice background music. 😎
There's a thousand ways to skin a cat. It's all about results so do worry about the critics, you are doing just fine.
Thank you thank you!
One baddass 60s car. One of my favorites😊
It’s a good one for sure
Very nice job.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Very good! I just bought a basket case 71 chevelle that I'm about to get started on. Have a 69 javelin I have to finish up first.
Nice! Good luck!
I wish I was nearby so I could help and see it finished! I've had several Chevelle's in the past. 1 70 & 3 67's 1 was an SS we called the Yellow Turtle. it had the 396 & 4 speed, with A V gate shifter.

So I had to sell it an take my hotroding to the track. I had several 71 Camaro's so I built my stock car. But that's another story.
That’s a big undertaking. Looks like you are doing great. Have the body mounts been replaced? New rubber ones can change the alignment of body lines.
Thank you! Yes new rubbers are installed
@@RACGARAGE 👍👍
Bro you are a badass you are one of the best fab guys I’ve ever seen I’ve learned a shit ton from you n if you’re doing it wrong owell if it looks right when you are finished thanks for sharing your passion with us highly appreciated ps cars to new in years for me I love the older hotrods like the 30s to 50s lol 😂
Haha thanks man, yeah cars too new for me too 😂
New project... Cool
Should be in and out
In my mind, no process of rebuilding can be wrong, as long as the customer is satisfied with the end results. It's the customer that matters, not the viewers.
This is also true!
would you be willing to take another one on? just one rear quarter, both front floors and below the rear back window. 1967 SS396
Thats a project that would exite me! At least I have my 68 C10!
Great job. Like this channel
Glad you enjoy it!

man, is that a triple red car? wild! the '67 isn't my favorite but it's still pretty cool. nice work man.
Sure is! Thanks!
@@RACGARAGE btw: i just noticed the little character in the driver seat!
Words traveling fast Travis. Before long you may need a tiny bit bigger garage. Carry on, ur doing a fantastic job.😊
That's the plan! I have about 2 years of work lined up. I need a bigger place now
What brand 1/4 panel was that? It fit pretty good.
I'd be tempted to bolt stuff like this back.
Spot was fast etc.
Now /speed isnt/like the line.
Next generation would only need a socket
Keep it up
Thanks brother!
What brand of panels do you prefer?
i like how you can do a 60s car. if this customer wants basics poof you have made him happy with your skills you can make this into a show car
Yeah I’m not afraid of anything, at the end of the day it’s just metal
Intro looks great and I like to hear how it affects the views.
I’m going to do it for a while and see if theres a change. I had a bump in subscribers vs the last video but that could be cause it’s a Chevelle video and I do mostly ford stuff
The trunck n inner fenders
👍🏻🍺
No way I’d done quarters didn’t really need them the roof bad vinyl top car in pretty good shape patch panels good 👍 luck
no fear
None at all!
I saw no reason to replace the quarters???????? What little rust they had would have been much easier to repair, plus the fact you ruined a bunch of panels that had no damage at all. :(
Ruining the classics one panel at a time! Thanks for watching!
Jesús all the tattoos! Looks like a leper colony 😮
annoying
no instruction at all
just fast forward video thumbs down
😂
You dont take everythine apart without bracing.That is a big mistake.
