This is going to be an awesome detail of 1970 classic Chevelle. All the best guys. My best pre birthday present is watching the Chevelle getting restored.
Thanks for staying up late for us. It's always nice to have your videos the first thing on Friday morning. Saturday would work too. It's great to see your business grow. Here's to a great 2022.
Fantastic job, looks great despite years of wear and tear. If it were mine, I would only give it what it absolutely needs to be safe and reliable. I own 3 Chevelles currently (68, 69, and a 72) so this definitely pulls on my heart strings. I wish we could have seen the engine bay and some of the under carriage. Does the owner have an IG account we can follow? I doubt that I am alone when I say that I'd love to follow the progress.
Fantastic job!!! I would NEVER put this baby on a track. As for repainting, that would be tempting. In the video it looks great. But, I’ve seen cars that, when up close, really show the wear. Love what you did here!!!
Seats are in great shape. New foam and covers. As for no tread fronts that's how the were used on the track. Great survivor! Thanks for showing. Saved my own 71 Malibu400 396/402 BB.
Great job detailing! It looks beautiful afterwards, slap a set of rally wheels on it and fix the interior, and otherwise leave it as is, it’s a beautiful survivor.
I'd personally keep it as a sunday driver. If I wanted a track car I'd build one out of a stripped car that didn't have any sentimental value. As far as the rust goes, just spot-treat it and get matching paint to try and blend it in, if that is the original paint it is better to keep it.
Hope your thanksgiving was great bud!! Love this car! I’d not paint it at all! It would be better to do the rust spots and match them in! That solid red paint will be easy to match!!! The rest of the paint looks great!! Another great video and transformation of a long stored car!! Love it!
Very nice Chevelle, it's in such great shape for being stored so long. Turned out great! Usually those hoosier front runners have very little tread aa they are for drag racing, they are probably just worn out, more than likely had maybe some lines in them when new and they are worn down.
The Videos are great I was with my son and grand kids Yesterday it was the Best Thanksgiving I think I've ever had we had Dinner then took them to the movies keep up the Great work 😀 👍 🙌
259k! happy thanksgiving! And I guess it used to be a car for drag racings Also for the pedals when there is the tiny lines you could use a brush to remove the rocks or pebbles
Awesome detail guys,just to touch on the mould the same can be said when dealing with a rodent infestation one can get extremely ill from exposure,by the way id love to see WD do a collaboration with Larry at AMMO ❤
Highly encourage him to leave the original paint as is! It will never be original paint again, he can always repaint if totally necessary but original paint just in value is a tremendous plus!
Would totally keep original, repair the rust spots. Beautiful jobs you guys did, I’m a weekend wannabe detailer for myself. ;) Btw I’ve driven by the Hoosier tire plant before, living in Indy.
I would leave the original paint as it now looks nice and wouldn't run the car at the track anymore. It is a rare and desirable model of Chevelle to own. Would have been nice to see the trunk get cleaned and the engine compartment. I'm also surprised the rear bench seat wasn't taken out.
I drive my 1970 Z/28 4 speed which I purchased from the original owner in 1981 as much as possible in the spring and summer. Once the snow arrives, it sits in the garage. I’d like to have a 70 SS396 375 HP L78 4 speed along with the RPO ZL2 Cowl Induction Flapper hood. This Chevelle in the video I’d get it street ready and drive it on the street and if your into some track time then it can still go on the track as long as the 1/4 mile speed is low enough that you don’t need a roll bar and driveshaft safety loop. Those front tires are bald b/c they used to be on the rear, and when doing burnouts, you lose tread. If the paint is original the leave it, a car is only original once. Plus original paint cars are worth more.
I hope you (RJ and Brent) had a great Thanksgiving. You guys do an amazing job. Each and every time you upload it's a new and exciting detail. Keep up the amazing job. Have a great weekend 😉😊💚Are they bald because they raced it?
This vehicle is also in the PS1 game, Driver. Which is fun to use in the game when doing stunts and burnouts. But I think that's the only video game reference I've seen this car in, aside from Vin's character Dominic Toretto. Where he drives a few SS Chevelles in the fast franchise.
I’d keep the original paint but obviously repair rust spots but keeping any paint work as minimal as possible then I’d give it a fresh clear coat for protection and refresh it’s shine.
It looked like three 70's Era Audio Cassettes were sitting on the front passenger seat for a long time, and left their imprint in the mold when removed.
I'd take that car as a nice cruiser. I have an 86 Monte Carlo SS that I use as my date vehicle with my wife. We take it out every few weeks in good weather to cruise. It only has 57,000 miles.
Hey man, I am a successful IT Software Developer looking to start gigs like this on my evenings and weekends. I would love to do barn finds eventually, how do you land all these barn finds! Any advice is helpful, thanks!
They are hooster drag tires . Since the tires are normally used in drag strip racing and every drag strip is at least a quarter mile of normaly dry asphalt tracton in wet conditons is not that needed but if it is wet they are kinda like f1 tires with grit in them. Plus with many drag cars we all know they pop wheelies so when the car lands i think the tires need to flex more. Oh and when it comes to rear slicks they can only be usef a few times due to torque stress. That is as far as what i know and i can be wrong.
All original..weekend driver...stored inside when not on the road with the gnarliest alarm system available on the garage and a grumpy timber wolf hangin out in the garage lot 😆 #HEVYCHEVY
Totally keep it as a Sunday driver, pure gem of a car
Amazing car!
This is going to be an awesome detail of 1970 classic Chevelle. All the best guys. My best pre birthday present is watching the Chevelle getting restored.
Happy early birthday Ali!
@@WDDetailing thank you
@@alishaikh2292 Happy Birthday!
I would leave it as original as possible, only replacing those "must have" parts to be a daily driver. Great job as always!
The 70 Chevelle SS is probably my favorite muscle car, along with the GTO Judge.
Thanks for staying up late for us. It's always nice to have your videos the first thing on Friday morning. Saturday would work too. It's great to see your business grow. Here's to a great 2022.
Of course! I wouldn’t miss an upload for you guys!!
They are going to get to great places in 2022!
@@WDDetailing that’s very kind and impressive. Putting the people before yourself, very selfless. Congrats!
I love this car. I would fix it up & drive it, this one was made for the road. Thank you for sharing your work, stay safe.
This car is awesome!
As a kid I remember seeing these cars brand new on the dealership lots, one of my favorites 👍😁
L
They are sweet cars.

They did awesome!
Thanks man
I would use it as a Sunday driver for sure.Very Iconic car!Awesome job detailing as Always.

Just the perfect look for an older car rust and all another great job guys.
There just is nothing more beautiful then a red Chevelle!😍 awsome work!!👌

Awesome video, absolutely love the classics.🙏👍💯
The classics are great
I would totally use that car as a every day vehicle. Where I am from its not uncommon to come across classics. The car came out perfect
Great job guys nice car I have one myself I bought in 1983just recently did a frame off restoration 502 with turbo 400 373 posi 4 wheel disc brakes
This is a muscle legend, a gem
It's a beautiful car a great job guys I hope this youngster realizes how fortunate he really is
Great video new sub. Those are drag tires and I’d make it my daily.
Thank you!
That’s great!
You guys do great work , On that 1970 SS 396 chevelle ,Sincerely Richard Dodds , So Sioux City Nebraska.
Turned out great!!
One of my dream cars, would for sure use it as a daily driver though
Hope your thanksgiving was great bud!!
Love this car! I’d not paint it at all! It would be better to do the rust spots and match them in! That solid red paint will be easy to match!!! The rest of the paint looks great!!
Another great video and transformation of a long stored car!!
Love it!
I was thinking the same thing about the rust repair and blending in the paint.
Love the transformations!
@@robertgrant4501 I was thinking that too
It’ll have to become my daily Summer driver after being it back to life!
Track car 100% pulling up to the track and street races with these is the biggest flex a person can do
Very nice Chevelle, it's in such great shape for being stored so long. Turned out great! Usually those hoosier front runners have very little tread aa they are for drag racing, they are probably just worn out, more than likely had maybe some lines in them when new and they are worn down.
The Videos are great I was with my son and grand kids Yesterday it was the Best Thanksgiving I think I've ever had we had Dinner then took them to the movies keep up the Great work 😀 👍 🙌
I’d have the upholstery redone and fix that little rust and have the paint matched and blended. That’s all
Super clean bro ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
1970 Chevelle, great show. 🙌
So awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
259k!
happy thanksgiving!
And I guess it used to be a car for drag racings
Also for the pedals when there is the tiny lines you could use a brush to remove the rocks or pebbles
That’s a good point. I’m going to do that next time it’s in the pedals.
FrontRunner tires don't really do a whole lot, hence being skinny and having almost zero tread
Excellent wd as always i would do both if i had a car like that 🔥🔥🔥🔥
They are always excellent
Super job Awesome 100
Thank you all done a hell of a job on a detailing really a great job looks good looks damn good
Amazing detail my friends ❤❤
Love the videos I’m working on getting my own set of products money been an issue lately but I will soon and imma post videos aswell
Awesome detail guys,just to touch on the mould the same can be said when dealing with a rodent infestation one can get extremely ill from exposure,by the way id love to see WD do a collaboration with Larry at AMMO ❤

Definitely drive it some to keep it limbered up .. Awesome car
Sunday driver is what I would do with it to keep it in good condition. These beauties need to be shown to be appreciated.
Wowwwww. Love from India 💘💘💘😍❤️😀
I drive my 1970 Z/28 4 speed which I purchased from the original owner in 1981 as much as possible in the spring and summer. Once the snow arrives, it sits in the garage.

Great video! Would have been pretty cool if we could have got a glimpse underneath the hood for short bit .
They are front runners for drag racing only ..with minimal tread on them even when new . For minimum rolling resistance.
Nice detail bro!
My friend's grandfather had a 1970 Chevelle Malibu convertible. He would take us for rides in it. His was light yellow.
I hope you (RJ and Brent) had a great Thanksgiving. You guys do an amazing job. Each and every time you upload it's a new and exciting detail. Keep up the amazing job. Have a great weekend 😉😊💚Are they bald because they raced it?
They always do a great job!
really nice cleaning
This car looks great, no way I would repaint it. Keep the original paint for sure.
A perfect way to treat a lady of our past time
Those tires are called skinnys and are for Drag racing. They are narrow and slick for lower resistance I am pretty sure.
Curious why you didn't pull the back seat cushion out as well?
Brent, you guys should do my car, seriously though I do construction so its pretty bad don't forget all those times I was cool to you at Vivo lol
The owner could go to the wrecking yard and get good seats for the car. It is a great road car. thanks for showing us this car. You did a great job.
This vehicle is also in the PS1 game, Driver. Which is fun to use in the game when doing stunts and burnouts. But I think that's the only video game reference I've seen this car in, aside from Vin's character Dominic Toretto. Where he drives a few SS Chevelles in the fast franchise.
Frame-off Restoration is the only way to go on a beauty like this
Are the tyres bold to give it as much grip as possible on the track
I think the floor needs a bit of pressure washing as well LOL good job as always, guys!
😂😂😂
Cousin had a 396SS. Drove it around So.California for 3 weeks in 1969. Would not change the color. Slick tires!
Hello guys! I have a question, why do you start cleaning cars first from the outside and then from the inside, please?
I'd get it on the road the way it is and fix up the interior. The paint job is fine the way it is. Awesome car
I would love to use it everyday, my go-to car.
Happy Thanksgiving all. That is a fvcking lovely detail there!
Great detail!
Now a days cars are much quicker than the cars of the pass . Treat the car well and drive it on Sundays . Good job.
I’d keep the original paint but obviously repair rust spots but keeping any paint work as minimal as possible then I’d give it a fresh clear coat for protection and refresh it’s shine.
Looks like a nice set of Weld Wheels on some Hoosier track slicks.
What a beautiful car! A true sunday driver haha I hope the owner keeps the original paint.
An astonishing car!
I would definitely repaint over having the original paint
Do you use a dehumidifier and a o zone machine machine to kill the smell and get all the moisture out after your done detailing?
My favorite car
What a cool car! It cleaned up great. 👍
It really did.
I would daily it after it was clean i had a 69 4 door chevelle before it was one of the best cars I've owned ever it rode great and was fast.
Did you ever find the build sheet?
This car doesn't need a new paint job either it just needs a good detail clay bar cleaning and polish and it looks almost brand new
Racing slicks !!!
What pressure washer do you guys use
Nice...👊🏻
It looked like three 70's Era Audio Cassettes were sitting on the front passenger seat for a long time, and left their imprint in the mold when removed.
any tips for a paint pen to make my letters white from curb damage? my cooper tire letter are just like these in the video (good year)
beautiful car dont re paint it put her back on the road turning heads awesome job guys
TriClean by Gtechniq was a very good choice in that situation.
During the summer I would daily drive it lol
Maybe tires were put in back at one time,or they are track slicks?
I'd take that car as a nice cruiser. I have an 86 Monte Carlo SS that I use as my date vehicle with my wife. We take it out every few weeks in good weather to cruise. It only has 57,000 miles.
What's the name of yalls chemical brand specially the one you use on the rims that turns purple
If it was the ls6 or a 396 ,I'd daily that legend
You are very very awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey man, I am a successful IT Software Developer looking to start gigs like this on my evenings and weekends. I would love to do barn finds eventually, how do you land all these barn finds! Any advice is helpful, thanks!
It’s staged..
Find a friend with a classic car and dirty it up
Tires are bald for better steering traction on the track, it allows the tire to get a full stick on a prepped track.
They are hooster drag tires . Since the tires are normally used in drag strip racing and every drag strip is at least a quarter mile of normaly dry asphalt tracton in wet conditons is not that needed but if it is wet they are kinda like f1 tires with grit in them.

Oh and when it comes to rear slicks they can only be usef a few times due to torque stress. That is as far as what i know and i can be wrong.
All original..weekend driver...stored inside when not on the road with the gnarliest alarm system available on the garage and a grumpy timber wolf hangin out in the garage lot 😆
#HEVYCHEVY
Definitely a Sunday driver. I personally owned a '65. I drove it weekends and in good weather.
That’s the best way to do it!
I would definitely keep it original, but the rust spots could be easily treated and repaired!
The Chevelle is my favorite body desighn
