Full Build: Taking A 1972 Chevelle Barn Find Back To Its Former Glory

  • The guys drag a classic Chevy out of a hay barn. They install a plethora of new body panels, upgrade the suspension and revamp the tired factory interior pieces. Next, the guys look at how to massage body panels too perfection before laying down the dazzling metallic baby blue paint job. Under the hood, Marc and Tommy plug a monster bowtie powerplant. To pay it off, they take it to a famous road in the Smoky Mountains.

    Locksmith here. It's to bad you weren't close to me. Key Code for trunk is on the glove box lock. We charge $5.00 for a single sided key by code... Plus it would've worked the doors as well. Just so long as nothing has ever been changed. Also, the codes might have even been on the original bill of sale. Great Vids by the way!

Something so nice, relaxing, and of course educational about these shows. But really, it's just the vibes, it looks like fun and for that reason watching them IS fun. Love that I can catch these again. Makes me wonder if there is a streaming service for these...off to go look around a bit!

    I've been a body and paint tech man since 1973. I worked at 5 different dealerships , Dodge, Pontiac, Caddy, Ford and Chevy. On a restoration , everyone of those shops started on the front of the vehicle . got all the frontend and doors perfect, then we welded on the quarters , aligning the deck lid and the rest of the tailend parts perfectly. More than 1 way to skin a Chevelle. Still, a good vid.

    I started out using the old style primer---surfacer. My friend was a painter at a dealership and showed me all about the 2K primer-surfacer. BIG difference! Once I got to the point of spraying the final coat before sanding, I would spray the final coat of 2K primer---surfacer then let the car sit out in the direct sunlight for at least a full week, preferably two weeks. That way I satisfied that the last coat of primer---surfacer was fully cured and had done all the shrinking it was going to do. Then I would do the final wet sanding with my Eastwood 12 inch rigid sanding block using a mist coat of flat black to see low spots.

    Finally a car show with less drama/more technical, taking these classic muscle car restorations right down to the frame, even showing the smallest how-to brackets, bolts and fabrications. Clean modern shop/tools and likeable mechanics offering loads of helpful info. Even the rock music soundtracks for the show are enjoyable (no annoying hip-hop or rap). Very well done car restore show and featured model choices. I just finished watching 3 full project episodes in a row. Bravo!

    My first car was a '71 Chevelle Malibu with a bench seat and a 4 speed. 1 of only 11 that year with that combo. The grill was busted to shit and I scored a junkyard front clip (back when you could actually do that) for a '72. Always liked the larger grill and solid turn signal of the '72 over the '71 so it made for a cleaner look. Might have been a Frankensteined mashup of the 2 years but I still miss the ease of ownership of a classic muscle car. No computers to navigate through. Everything you needed to know about the car was either a sound or a smell that told you the issue. And after a quick stop at the local Kragen you were back on the road. Yeah it had manual windows and no defroster but it sure as shit didn't throw codes that left me stranded at work (thanks Mercedes SRS for that little gem). Just simpler times with simpler cars. Plus you can't beat the sound of a small block Chevy through 2 chambered Flowmasters sitting on a clean pair of American Racing torq thrust wheels.
