Young lady... you're enough to make an old man cry! Intelligence, looks, abilities. What more could any man want. My hat is off to you and an awe inspired handshake to your dad.
We did contact a couple of the builders and they both were surprised we are bringing it to road worthiness. One of them even said that it’s nothing more than a “TV Prop” 🤷🏽♂️
There's a reason why a lot of these former show cars get left for dead...they build em fast and cheap as possible quite often. They look alright on camera and that's the only target a lot of the time. Thanks for saving another forgotten machine. It's great to see ladies getting into auto mechanics. It's definitely NOT just a man's hobby. Cheers!
HHWheels James you and your Daughter, have me cracking up laughing over here, Why doing great work together, which puts a smile on everybody's face, so keep up the great work OK🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤣🤣🤣 😂💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
My dad was requested to be on this show. He ended up turning it down because the contract required you to pick fights with the other team, as well as sabotage their builds sometimes. He also was requested to work on a few overhaulin' cars and ended up turning that down as well because Chip Foose had contracts to certain companies my dad refused to sell due to low quality. TV shows are all buzz. Also interesting that this sat less than 20 minutes from home for so many years.
Is there anything you guys can't bring back from the dead??? Proof that you guys are legendary legends!! And I actually remember that show and watching that episode of Car Warriors!! Wasn't a fan lol. Amazing job as always Caroline and James!! Love you guys!!
@@jimpatnode4445 The excuses are that it's a 72 hr build for T.V with paint and body that took the majority of that time. Of course like all other TV builds of this caliber nothing is right.
It's not like they rebuilt the car as of now.. They threw an old motor in it and wired up a Holley EFI. Idk what makes them legendary legends.. But, that's just me.
That really is a pretty paint job on that Corvette and the fact that you actually fixed it and was able to drive it you have to call that a win. Especially when you consider the state of neglect that you got it in. Good job and great work you guys are doing a fantastic job with this one.
As long as they get paid, they don't care. The only custom car shows I'll watch are for paying customers, not some over produced stupid car build "battle".
I ran across your channel while going down that UA-cam rabbit hole.absolutely loved watching you and your daughter, who by the way is amazing to watch working on cars.she reminds me of my youngest daughter. I’m a technician but none of my kids were ever interested in cars. Your a lucky man to get to spend that time making memories with your daughter. Keep up the great work and can’t wait to see your next project. 44:54
The telescoping steering was an option on many cars. Whoever made the hacked up steering wheel wasn't smart enough to lock the telescoping part of the colon. It is a small bolt that is in the center of the steering shaft.
I actually saw this for sale and talked to the person selling it. I thought about buying it because it was pretty unique. I’m glad it’s getting some love. Fast forward a month or so later and I ended up in Laytonville buying a wrecked 911.
I remember this!!! You guys were like 15 miles away. I wanted to go see it. I loved the paint job on it. That was when Lia Block was doing Hoonigans at Mare Island..i tried to send you a link. Anyway great vid.. nice to see you guys working together and the comedy ensues along with real life success and fails. Hope this thing turns out awesome!!
If anything can go wrong it probably will, especially when you are far from home. Are you going to put it back just like it was in the show, or will you be putting your own twist on it? Looking forward to seeing more of the Scullclops
Man Pretty sweet bringing it back from the dead per say, The paint job was actually pretty cool overall, but man they really butchered that front end thought that seeing the episode 10+ years ago and still to this day think it lol. cant wait to see what you guys do to it in the future awesome team!
I owned a 76 Corvette standard equipment telescope steering had an outer ring that would spin and grip stopping the column from moving. The column also came with a tilt feature the combination made for comfortable driving on my cross country trip in 1979.
Y'all guys are awesome keep videos coming. For dad and daughter Duo yall are great Caroline she can do about anything on a car, Jame you done great job teaching her.
Well that was a very good episode I'm glad you overcame all the challenges and it's good to see you run into Joneses on the first drive it makes it all more wonderful than Friday and you're good-looking What country
Clicked the video cause I love watching restoration videos, but it was also a TV show Corvette. I think I actually watched this episode way back when, I figured it would give you the most trouble wherever it could. TV Custom Car shows are prolly the worst kinda cars to try to bring BACK to life even if they weren't really to life when they were made on the show lol. But love watching y'all working on it. Side note, I was already in love with the car, I might now have a crush on Caroline too haha
I came across your channel by chance and I immediately subscribed and have watching you since. I hope you het many more subscribers and keep up the great content.
i just found your channel and i dig it. if your in need around the California desert, vegas or SoCal. i have a large garage, tools, car hauler, vehicle storage room.
I would love to find those types of cars. And drive them. Good luck. Keep up the great work. For me it’s just a dream, you guys have the means , so I’m just probably gonna live through you and just keep watching. Thanks
We all are, I will agree with you and the mistakes that happened hopefully aren't as expensive as my almost fourty years of wrenching years are coming up with as the damages. Great evening to you all.
I love y'allz enthusiasm and sheer love for ride!! Just subscribed this needs to be an actual show with a cast. Also great job in the editing 😅it 👏 👍 😅😊
Just can't wait to get my 68 427 Vette home here in Central Indiana. Its got 73K, and it will be for sale at some point in the next 4 weeks. Any takers, ket me know....
I know Ryan Templeton aka Ryno personally and he has done some awesome work. I found out that y’all got a hold of this car through him. Looking forward to seeing it come back to life the way it should’ve been done.
Wow, how cool are you guys. So glad I found your video, subscribed. 👍 Corvette C3 and C4 one of the last DIY' able great cars. Lots of fun and cheers for saving another one.
Thanks for the awesome video of the awesome corvette in Jim’s awesome garage and awesome driveway in his awesome yard , awesome cake for the awesome birthday boy awesome spoons and awesome plates , everything was just ( you’ve guessed it right ? )‘absolutely fricken AWESOME
@@HHWheels OOOOF...Awkward! Haha, I came across your channel today, thanks youtube. Awesome that you are passing all this knowledge and ability down to your daughter. My daughter is only 4 but I hope she stays into cars like me!
👌 Awesomeness in action, great to see your daughter Caroline involved.. Father passing his knowledge on 👍👍👍👍👍 I bet she will have her own channel/business one day. Thanks for sharing folks 😉 New Subscriber to your excellent channel. 👍
Young lady... you're enough to make an old man cry! Intelligence, looks, abilities. What more could any man want. My hat is off to you and an awe inspired handshake to your dad.
Never seen this channel but the fact it's a father/daughter car building duo makes it better imo.
Thx 🙏
Nice 76 Corvette replace new engine👍 Beautiful Lady mechanic❤ HHwheels👍
Caroline has outdone herself with how good she looks. She is a star!
Yup!🤙
Real pretty girl but I think she’s just a kid.
Throw the ankles to the ears and stick shift all her gears 😮😮😮
I used to watch Car Warrors. Epic show. It is sad to see such an epil build in such a sorry state
All I can say is the Allstar team was all fluff and no stuff. You show is an amazing breath of fresh air. Keep up the great content
Much appreciated!
I can only imagine what other death machines they passed off as safe and road worthy on car warriors.
We did contact a couple of the builders and they both were surprised we are bringing it to road worthiness. One of them even said that it’s nothing more than a “TV Prop” 🤷🏽♂️

Agreed
Reminds me Fast and Furious
On Video this car is a butiefull beast but the on the second Look the car is crap 😂
Dude the 1976 Corvette is my dream car. when I saw this I had to watch this video. thank you for teaching me about this cars history
Kudos to Caroline the hard worker!
Haha thank you!! :)
HHWheels James you and your Daughter, have me cracking up laughing over here, Why doing great work together, which puts a smile on everybody's face, so keep up the great work OK🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤣🤣🤣 😂💪💪💪👍👍👍👍

Say why don't you tell us how you really feel there bud lol
@@renegadet1238 Cute reply lol
There was nothing in my contract about picking any fights or sabotage the other team.
@@insaneasylummotorsports5757 Season 1 it was in the contract
Never watched you two before but sure glad I did. Make a great team and cool to watch a forgotten car come back to life.
Is there anything you guys can't bring back from the dead??? Proof that you guys are legendary legends!! And I actually remember that show and watching that episode of Car Warriors!! Wasn't a fan lol. Amazing job as always Caroline and James!! Love you guys!!
Great video so looking forward to more on this ugly duckling and the excuses of the original builders.
Thx Freddy!
@@jimpatnode4445 The excuses are that it's a 72 hr build for T.V with paint and body that took the majority of that time. Of course like all other TV builds of this caliber nothing is right.

Pretty simple put a motor in it and trans get fire 🔥 gas and spark and bam 💥 and air
That really is a pretty paint job on that Corvette and the fact that you actually fixed it and was able to drive it you have to call that a win. Especially when you consider the state of neglect that you got it in. Good job and great work you guys are doing a fantastic job with this one.
Thank you!
420 in the house! That was a surprise to see my buddy James by clicking on a cool looking car. I enjoyed watching, All the best brother!
Thanks 👍
Every Carguys dream would come true, to have such a daughter, or Gf/wife. Good job XD
HHWheels And James Happy Birthday 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪💪👍👍👍👍🔥🔥
Well done to both of Ya’s….
& to those who assist…!
All I can say is EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!! Great job Team.
That reminds me of my 1973 Ford Gran Torino, it could be a pain in the ass sometimes but when it was up and running it was fun as hell to drive!
Just found your channel !! Really liking it!!! That telescopic steering column was a factory option!
Excellent Episode!!!! Skullclops is gonna be awesome when done!!!!
Great score! Way to save another awesome vehicle!
So happy for you guys and for what all you’re accomplishing!
It’s really a cool car, we will get it right!
@@HHWheels oh I know you guys will!
How could such iconic car builders manage to absolutely destroy this old vette, damn shame 😢
As long as they get paid, they don't care. The only custom car shows I'll watch are for paying customers, not some over produced stupid car build "battle".
@@mobucks555 #FACTS
At least you guys made it back for Cake!!😅 awesome video guys
Just barely 😂
The people who built that for the show are Hacks.
The whole thing is hacks.
All TV cars are hack jobs. There just have to look good on camera
72 hours they had.....
@@fallofthezombies1379special you are, bus short you ride.
They had 72 hours I would like to see anyone do better with what they had

Thank you Ron, Caroline has always been a motor head. Her technical ability on cars will far exceed mine. I’m very proud of her! Thx for watching!
HHWheels James you and your Daughter, make it awesome Car team, so keep up the great work God Bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪😃😃👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥❤
We will!
As soon as I saw the thumb nail, I got so excited because I remember this build. Car warriors was an amazing show. I really wish it was still on.
Killer job guys, and lady! ❤
Thank you!
First time seeing show I’m in love
happy birthday James ,watching you from iraq baghdad , best 45 min i had for today
Welcome Baghdad!
The telescoping steering was an option on many cars. Whoever made the hacked up steering wheel wasn't smart enough to lock the telescoping part of the colon. It is a small bolt that is in the center of the steering shaft.
It was broken. nothing to do with smarts.
I actually saw this for sale and talked to the person selling it. I thought about buying it because it was pretty unique. I’m glad it’s getting some love. Fast forward a month or so later and I ended up in Laytonville buying a wrecked 911.
Sweet! Let’s see some pics of that 911!!
There should be a knob/lever on bottom of steering column you lock the telescopic steering wheel.
Yes, but do to the custom steering wheel they eliminated it. To fix it I installed a 5/16 Allen bolt into the center hole and it tightened right up!👌
Loved this! What a wonderful father daughter team! Looking forward to seeing your adventures! 😊👍
Thank you so much! Thx for watching!
I remember this!!! You guys were like 15 miles away. I wanted to go see it. I loved the paint job on it. That was when Lia Block was doing Hoonigans at Mare Island..i tried to send you a link.

Thx man! Thx for watching ✊
Good job guys way to bring back another one of are cars from Automotive History 👊🏻👍🏻Thanks for Sharing 👏🏻
Outstanding Just Outstanding! Can't Wait To See More. Am New To This Channel. Thanks
More to come!
I have seen the show and i have wondered where are all the builds now. I,m glad you found one of the marvels, which is the 1976 Corvette.
Thx, we are happy we found it and revived it
Great job guys
Thank you so much :)
I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Skullklops! Nice job y’all, awesome video!!
We are gonna have some fun with this one!
Crush it.
If anything can go wrong it probably will, especially when you are far from home. Are you going to put it back just like it was in the show, or will you be putting your own twist on it? Looking forward to seeing more of the Scullclops
We are going to put it back to what it was as close as possible, trying to get original designer to help with the nose.
Man Pretty sweet bringing it back from the dead per say, The paint job was actually pretty cool overall, but man they really butchered that front end thought that seeing the episode 10+ years ago and still to this day think it lol. cant wait to see what you guys do to it in the future awesome team!
Honestly, looks like a very painful unfortunately located saddle sore to me. If you get my drift...
I owned a 76 Corvette standard equipment telescope steering had an outer ring that would spin and grip stopping the column from moving. The column also came with a tilt feature the combination made for comfortable driving on my cross country trip in 1979.
Sassy showing up to wave and go on his way made my night!
😂🤙🤙🤙
Y'all guys are awesome keep videos coming. For dad and daughter Duo yall are great Caroline she can do about anything on a car, Jame you done great job teaching her.
Thank you! Will do!
My 76 Vette had a anti theft kill switch, under the dash! I just subscribed! God bless you both! Your new friend and fan, Kevin
Thx Kevin!
Not a failure just a smaller victory than expected.
Just found your channel. So new subscriber. Look forward to follow more builds. Awesome job lady and gentlemen.
Dude that welder is actually pretty damn good, I recently bought one. Works WAY better than the Chicago Electric one I had...
👌
Well that was a very good episode I'm glad you overcame all the challenges and it's good to see you run into Joneses on the first drive it makes it all more wonderful than Friday and you're good-looking

straight up would love to get into the same thing you're doing...I'm glad to see such cars from my childhood being rehabilitated.
Thank you for watching! More #skullclops to come👍
The original transmission mount looked a whole lot. Sturdier than what he welded together.😮😊
We all are, I will agree with you and the mistakes that happened hopefully aren't as expensive as my almost fourty years of wrenching years are coming up with as the damages. Great evening to you all.
That car looks sick
I thought these tv cars and truck got destroyed after the show is over.
Not this one! Many get passed off to auctions. Thanks for watching!
Good job restoring skullcops
Thank you 🙏
I always wanted the car from corvette summer… I loved that car back in the day…
👍 it’s definitely been a Corvette Summer for us😂😂😂
That's a cool car regardless of the problems for the time that was put into it. Really cool history and automotive madness.

Its a telescoping wheel. All old corvettes had this feature . Normally it locks into place but looks like its broken on this car
It was missing the retaining grub screw to keep it in place! thank you for watching :)
