WHAT TO EXPECT
In the series, we cover the gamut of tools real guys would use in their shop. Everything from welders, plasma cutters, metal forming tools like an English Wheel, bead rollers, paints and more!
We get a quote from an Auto Restoration Shop on a repair like installing a new door skin. We buy the tools and supplies needed to tackle the repairs ourselves and see if we can beat the quote!
Mark is the veteran of the series, using his skills to fabricate his own panels on his 1966 Chevy Corvair, including replacing rusted floors pans and even a new door skin.
Cody is the newbie. An up and coming star at Eastwood, Cody has mechanical knowledge and has completed his fare share of motorcycle and jeep projects. His 1967 Camaro will be his first dive into restoring an American classic, utilizing Eastwood tools and AMD sheet metal while bringing the car back to life!
Randy is the project manager of the series, lending a helping hand when needed, but more importantly, keeping the fellas on task and under budget!

Eastwood has everything you need to do the job right when you're restoring a car, truck or motorcycle - from welders to paint and everything in between.
Nice to see younger people getting involved and people. That comment saying he should do this and should do that ye of course he could always improve. But that's the point guys we all started somewhere
These types of videos are extremely helpful. I am restoring a Dodge Ram (Cummins) and they give me an idea of the type of products Eastwood carries. That in itself is worth the time watching them.
From the way Cody talks--his cadence and word choice--he sounds a lot like Mark (that former aviation guy who does perfection-level quality work).
Mark and Cody have worked together at Eastwood for a few years (since Cody was interning as a college student), so you're right about the influence.
Great to see a younger person taking on this kind of project. Good luck Cody
That's a lot of rust to pay $2k for but it does give you guys an awesome amount of content. Hope to see more "Rustmaro" vids soon from you guys. -Glen
$2000 doesn't seem that bad. The title alone is probably worth that
Looks like he bought a VIN tag for 2000.
I like your videos cuz I can watch and a normal guy build this car hands on, and they explain as he goes toward, but at the same time they joke around to ease the tension of mistakes and the learning process..
Ok finally back to some real how to videos. Don’t remember this guys name but I like how he is new and willing to learn. Still miss Kevin
ReloadingRADIO, absolutely.. really helpful stuff here, Kevin was awesome!
Great vid and the 20 min run time is perfect. Lots of content packed into this episode ... win! Keep it up.
Thank you for the detailed step by step; thank you for showing and sharing the work. I always learn something from your videos (OK, they also encourage me to buy the right tools from Eastwood Tools). Thank you again. PS-You should have more projects so we can learn more.
Love the series, we can see the tools being used. Look forward to seeing more of this car and hopefully the corvair that Mark was working on.
Wow, your welding skills really improved a millionfold between the first and second passes. /rolls eyes.
MIG welding is easy to learn. Just look at how quickly Cody's welds improved in a single day on the first project he attempted.
@@eastwoodco I'm doubtful that Cody's welds improved so much in a single day. I'm also a beginner and after 2 years my welds still look like goobers. I'm just not buying it.
@@DavidPlass It really was that quick. He adjusted some settings and his technique slightly and part way through the first little project he was laying down nice welds.
Awesome series. Keep posting and thank you.
Usually I definitely try not to bust on people willing to put themselves out there on U-tube but holy crap that bad boy is a rust bucket. Well good luck and hopefully the price of your next project will be a little cheaper.
They don't get much worse than this Camaro, even by Pennsylvania standards!
@@eastwoodco why was it bad to spray rust encapsulator all over ?..& why did it cause problems?.
This was interesting. My buddy tried to sell me his dads 67 firebird convertible 6cyl but it is really rusty and I passed on it. I still think about that car all the time. I’ll be watching for more videos on ur 67
It is looking great. Thank you.
Use some self tapping screws where you can’t get a clamp very easy to spot the whole back after and it’s just another spot that is Tact
Nice work! Excited to see more work on this. I really like these episodes.
In 95 I bought 69 for 1200..replaced floorpans and most of hoods and quarters..at the end 18 000 dollars later I Got a nice Camaro..327..355 rear..3 speed...thinking of selling for 30.000...maybe😊
Ya know what maybe the rust in my car ain't too bad
Looks like a lot of fun
You should prime under your seam sealer it will rust back through if you don’t
Late to the game but why was it a bad idea to hit the rust encapsulator on the whole firewall around the 4:40 mark. Is it because they needed to remove rust mechanically first?
Biuld up that stright 6 that would be cool
Lol at the welds
wheres the weld through primer those welds are going to rust on the back side
Yup, I thought the same thing. That panel rusted the first time for a reason...
Could've just missed recording that part
Just wondering, how come you went to the 175 mig from the 135 mig and did you use 23 wire for the dash panel
Is the shop in Pottstown PA? Have a 68 that needs some work
2k for that??? Boy did you get ripped off.😢
Should the structural panel adhesive be applied from top, so it will fill the possible gap between the 2 panels welded?
Come on guy no copper weld threw primer between sheet metal spot welds...
Eastwood whats going on?
Does the panel epoxy shadow like panel bond if you use it on a out side panel? After it gets painted?
Question? What was the purpose of the copper plate to close that gap. Were you welding the copper plate behind the gap or does mig weld not stick to copper. I'm not a welder
Copper backers are used because they are non-ferrous and can't be welded too. So you can use a backer to help prevent "Blow-Through" and weld up a gap in sheet metal.
@@eastwoodco thank you for the reply
What grit was the rol_loc biscuit
I'd imagine pretty aggressive, 40 grit. But not certain
Ok
Did you use any weld through primer under the dash?
Could you add the product links into the description? I think there’s a few items you sell that I’d like to get for my project.
The link in the video and description takes you to a page at Eastwood with all of the products. Plus they're often on sale if you come from this video!
NO WELD THRU PRIMER???
I would have passed for that price, unless the intent was to show the capability of the products.
How do you deal with the Vin tag? Do you just reattach it?
It's on the back of the a pillar in the driver door jam not the dash hopefully that area ain't rusted out that could become a sticky legal situation if it Is
Should have practiced on a scrap piece before you welded on your car. It really doesn't matter except what you think as long as the welds hold.
almost like this was a set up to make shade tree guys not feel bad and get people to comment.
Removing rusted metal without gloves?
What the hell is wrong with that other guy..He needs to chill PAINT THE WHOLE CAR IF YOU WANT TO
Not worth 2k
That's too far gone. Junk it
Boooo. 👎 We don't give up on the cars we love.
I would say stick to fabrication and leave the comedy to professionals.
🙄 Ouch.
