- We have a few things to fix along the way BUT today was the first day this car ran and drove since it had been abandoned in a field for 10+ years getting rained in with the hood off.

Please do not change. You have multiple gifts, and one is the fact that you got me watching all your stuff. You are a natural teacher and great mechanic that respects the craftsmanship of my favorite vehicle. My dad passed away and left my brothers and I his 63 roadster with a 454 ls6. Drum brakes are mfkn scary! No power steering, seat belts, or dual master cylinder. The way it was, but with 450 ft lbs of torque.
My wife and l just saw this and it was awesome,our 79 sat in our shop for over ten years “due to racing” and we couldn’t wipe the smiles off our faces the first time we drove it on the road after restoring her.
Almost nothing more satisfying than getting cars that deserve it back on the road. If she runs and stops, she ought to be drivin'.
Another deserving piece of Americana saved from the trash heap! Well done, sir!
Manual or non powered brakes are great providing you know how to use them properly but thanks for keeping this Vette from the grave.
Hay Ben, this was one of your more satisfying videos, I pretty sure I've watched all of your work, but I have had 6 corvettes, and this poor boy was looking as it was headed to your 'bone Yard" but this is going to be interesting to see what you have planned for it. I always love seeing one more saved from the crusher. In a "Throw Away World" it is great to see history saved one more time. Thank you for the excellent videos.
Parts cars are always nice to have around. There worth it every time you need a special bolt, screw or clip that GM discontinued 30 years ago.
"Luke Skywalker glove" gave me a good laugh! Great video, I love seeing enthusiasts resurrect old iron (fiberglass too), I look forward to seeing the path this car takes from here!
From put out to pasture, to back on the road again with a decent engine, plus many new components. Been watching your channel for years, and have personally spoke to you about my car(s). Thank you for saving another chrome bumper white diamond in the rough. A job well done Ben! (Here's to many more vlogs on making a driver quality 1972 Corvette coupe a decent car to restore, rebuild, or resto-mod).
Good job Corvette Ben that car really shifted good wish you could upload more videos thanks brother looking forward to your next update👍
I look forward to your vids more than anybody else's. Thanks for bringing old corvette back to life.
So very cool that you're saving that car.
Running & Driving 👍
Isn't it nice to breathe new life into a slug that's been left for dead? Thank you for the video & ride along.......Bob
Amazing! From junk car to driving car...Got to love it.
bless you for restoring this beauty..and, hope someday, you can give previous owner a ride...
OMG … i would be totally overwhelmed … ur a Trooper !!
Gotta say there's a little bit to doing fiberglass repair. Then the engine is a walk in the park. I love 71s and the 72s
a 3M metal/wood stripper wheel ,works great on cleaning up rotors
Your one of the best Corvette mechanic’s in the US . Love watching your work. Once you get the carburetor tuned in. And the timing. You got it. Going to be fun watching the interior put back as well the body work. Thank you for sharing your videos. Just amazing 🤩
