    Great video brother all these little details are what makes a car a show stopper. I'm learning a lot. My next build will be a Trans Am clone. Thank you for sharing your knowledge this is excellent 👍

    Jon, your fitment is above and beyond! Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing. God bless

      You can see how quickly
      It can be done too. So those few minutes are well spent to make it look a step up then the rest.

    Another detail that goes above a beyond. I will be looking at those scoops on show cars from now on. Great tips to be used on spoilers too. The bird is looking great.

      I do like attention to details! I have already patched up the spoiler for this car as well used the same process

    Great content Jon. I am hoping you will eventually do a segment on the "tubes" that run from those scoops to the air filter. I have looked and found noting on UA-cam U on how that whole ram air system really works.

    • @VinylVillageGarage
      @VinylVillageGarage  4 місяці тому +1

      That's the plan! I have the tubes and all the ram air parts in a box already to go. I have yet to find a Kit that has all you
      Need as well. So part of the video will include all the parts you need to assemble it as well

    I wish that mine had been done that way! Same profile as you started with. I haven't seen a factory version in along time and can't remember how they fit. Does sanded fiberglass not make you itch! Laughing! Great Job! 👍

    • @VinylVillageGarage
      @VinylVillageGarage  4 місяці тому +1

      From what I have seen the factory ones are more level with the hood like that finished product. I wish I had found these
      Fiberglass ones when I did my car, I don’t like how they stick up on mine. Fortunately I don’t have a reaction to fiberglass.

    One of the most detailed well done how-to channels on UA-cam. All your videos are great. Do you do body work for a living or are you a DIYer?

    • @VinylVillageGarage
      @VinylVillageGarage  3 місяці тому +2

      Wow much appreciated, I just do this for fun, been rebuilding cars for almost 30 years mostly Pontiacs. Never did it as my daily job I fear I would end up no longer liking it.

  • @chrismansker8870

    installed mine when i fit them and did the glass work while they were installed

    • @VinylVillageGarage
      @VinylVillageGarage  4 місяці тому +1

      Yup that’s the way to do. Test fitting every thing is important

  • @RonWatson-b6u
    @RonWatson-b6u 4 місяці тому +1

    Jon, I'm going to start calling you "Mr.Wizard". I thought at first, you just ruined the part (sanding through it). How did you foresee the way it would come out? Great video!

    • @VinylVillageGarage
      @VinylVillageGarage  4 місяці тому +2

      I did the same thing to the side fender extractors on my trans am, I hated how they looked and fit. The way I saw it was I had nothing to loose because I wasn’t happy with the way they where, came up with a plan to rough the shape in and go from there. Seems to work and now it will look way more gooder. 😎

    Hey I just picked up a 67 Camaro and I’m kinda lost on where to start, it needs inner/outer rocker panels replaced and toe board and subframe mounts replaced also any help would be appreciated

    • @VinylVillageGarage
      @VinylVillageGarage  4 місяці тому +1

      I have the great pumpkin series on UA-cam it starts with doing rocker panels then floor and toe boards wheels wells. It shows a lot of good info on what you are looking to do.

      Thanks I feel less lost now and I’ll start with cutting out the outer rocker and then move to the inner rocker and then the toe board

      @VinylVillageGarage  4 місяці тому +1

      @@JazenAlldredge cool right on! As for t-shirts if you ordered it from UA-cam/teespring they print to order and I don’t have any control over that. I only supply designs they manage the rest. Normally 2-3 weeks for delivery.

    • @JazenAlldredge

      So I finally got the inserts... the description says "Plastic" when they actually arrived they are like a pot metal (Solid). Good news is they fit really well. Hope that helps
