I watch your videos because of my anxiety. I always feel like dying and I have problems to sleep but if I watch your videos, it’s getting better and better. I also want to start detailing as soon as iam out of hospital 🥰 thank you man !
Find your therapy! I don't suffer from any anxiety or depression or anything but detailing and mowing my lawn are two very therapeutic activities. Do good for yourself!
I got surgery about 3 weeks. Been watching a bunch of your guys videos each day! Has helped me keep my mind off everything and help the days go by! Love your guys videos and content. I have learned a bunch from y’all for detailing and will use that info for myself! Cheers y’all!
I haven’t seen anyone mention it but his initial reaction is something only few understand. The way his face went from smiling excitedly to what seems emotionless. It’s that pure shock of disbelief that it came out as great as it did and then an even greater smile came back. As far as drivetrain, I’d go with a 454 big block or any chevy big block to have that sound just match the classic drag car look that it has
Currently binge watching old videos of the channel. I love this vintage car & I would rebuild it as a daily driver more than a race car... It deserves to be seen on the roads.
My grandmother had a 1968 stock Camero. My dad installed a wolf whistle, so she was the lil ol lady from Bakersfield. Thanks for the memories of my gran and dad!!
I got an all original survivor that my great grandfather bought brand new that I would love for you guys to get ahold of. It's a 1965 ford fairlane 500. Keep up the good work. I learn something new every video
Awesome job guys love your content , I'm in love with this thing and to be honest this being something rare to find now , I would like to maintain the originality of this beast , I would love this to have a big block 427 or 454!!
That steering wheel issue is what's known as "sticky dash". I'm shocked the whole dashboard wasn't the same way. I'm doing a 2005 VW Beetle as a flip. The ENTIRE interior was very thick sticky residue from all the plastic and vinyl gassing out from neglect and hot sun. After several different cleaners and hours (days) of scrubbing I finally found that isopropyl alcohol (watered down a little) and steam with a brush attachment made the residue just fall right off. You'll need a few brush attachments because they load up pretty quick. Let one soak in hot water to clean while the other is in use. Great job guys!
Incredible job guys. You guys are miracle workers. That car looked cool before but now it looks fantastic! I know the interior must have been super nasty but you handled it like the pros you are! Well done!
In order to do such a FANTASTIC job as you guys do, you have to Love what you do. I use to do detail work for a used car dealer and tha work we did then and looking at tha work you guys are doing in every video I've watched. The work we did then was a complete joke compared to what I've seen you all do. I'm 72 years and have never in my Life seen ANYONE clean automobiles like you all. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Great job, elbow grease makes a world of difference! I’d put in a chevy small block 383, stroked with hydraulic rollers. Pair it with a supercharger. Bam, pushing 600 hp easy without fuel injection.
Nooo please don't LS swap that. That things a time capsule. She needs a good ole mouse motor built up for it. I'm loving that "Grump Lump" style old school hood scoop on it.
I love the music. I used to have a a detail shop but I was in a real bad car accident. I was hit by a drunk driver. I can not do anything eny no more .you guys do ausum work, and I wanted to say thank you for your channel 🙏 😊
@@WDDetailing I have a ‘69 Charger, ‘78 Bandit Trans Am, 87 Olds 442, Starsky & Hutch Gran Torino, ‘70 Buick GSX, Fall Guy Truck replica and ‘72 Buick Lesabre convertible. If you want to see them, check out my UA-cam channel. If you like the channel please subscribe, like & share!👍👍👍
I think that you should put another 396 back in it. But an LS motor would probably be nice too. That sticker that says safety check is something they would put there for drag racing. They would have to be checked out and then they wouldn’t be allowed to race without it. Another great find and looking forward for the restoration.
If he wants those high-9s/low-10s, and money is not a problem, drop an LSX 572 in her and she will get down the track PDQ. Tire size? Somewhere in the 28.00 x 10.50-15 slick range? Love the Centerlines, always one of my favortie choices.
Id build a high compression, tunnel rammed, small block backed by a 5 speed and a bunch of gear in the rear end. The car already has that period drag car look, Id keep it going that route. Thats the vibe IM going with my 65 Comet, powered by a 14 to 1 compression 289
My dad, a plastics engineer explained what the sticky stuff on the steering wheel is: Plastisols. Plastisols are the setter of a Vinyl plastic. The Plastisol is semi volatile meaning that it slowly migrates to the surface of the plastic causing the plastic to shrink and have a sticky surface. The way to stop the migration and shrinking is: You can’t. The best way to clean the wheel is: GENTLY wash the wheel!!! DO NOT gouge or damage the plastic! I have restored many old steering-wheels and the most common damage I see is from overly aggressive scrubbing. 1) Dish soap and warm water is very effective most of the time and in a lot of cases is all that is necessary. Clean using an old toothbrush and some rags that you are willing to throw away. Remember the three keys to cleaning are: Time, Agitation, and Contact. 2) If the soap and water didn’t work use high concentration isopropyl alcohol like 91% or so. Use the same method of cleaning as before. Optional: is you have a steamer it really helps to accelerate the cleaning process. Finally you need to put a surface protection coating on the wheel (NOT a wheel cover!) Silicon Oil is what I have used for years it is very effective and lasts for about two to three years. I hope this helps with anyone els who is restoring an old steering-wheel. Wish you the best and remember never give up on your old car and they will never let you down.
I had red 67 Camaro with a black interior, 350 small block and a 400 turbo trans. I had to sell it back in the mid 90’s due to some family issues. It breaks my heart every time a see one. Damn, I miss that car.
I don't get much time between visiting my mum in hospital with termnal cancer sorting her place out and keeping an eye on my place to also don't se friends or have transport any more as mine was stolen well visiting my mum so vedieo like this make me smile a little and make me still like a part of the car community
Fantastic job that wasn't easy I had a steering wheel that was like that with not ever having a rap or cover on it what it was is a like protection like a Polly coating great job love your videos sorry so long
I'm building one,I'm goin with a 539 ci with a American power.train 6 speed made to do protouring 780 hp double overdrive with Hodgkin's suspension frame extenders..... Nice car good luck 🤞👍 open up.the check book! But well worth it!!! Alot of family history!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!
My husband loves videos about cars. You said you didn’t know what the safety sticker was. In the 60s and 70s we had to bring our vehicles in yearly for check of brakes, lights, etc. or it could have been a pre check for one of the races.
In Missouri you had to go to an inspection station,usually a garage, and they would check the lights and brakes act. You had to have thecstickervto get your plates / registration
fyi the steering wheel was covered with a mix of pitch and sap so when the car lunched at the light the driver could keep his hand on it and still shift the gears . iv been watching your shows and the work you do is awsome ill be watching all your new and old content and looking forward to lots more thanks
On steering wheel most of the sticky stuff from dirt and oil from your hands built up over time.. I was a truckdriver for 30 years.. had to clean my wheel weekly, rags always turned black ⚫️ 😌 😍
Love that camaro , I would leave it just like it is , black with center line wheels , paint engine area , gloss black and run , no hood , put a blown big block Chevy , with automatic , put a 4 inch spacer under Blower and do a Polish blower with bds scoop and ride out 👍👍👍
I worked in a Chevy partsdepartment back in the day we warranted many of those steering wheels for that exact problem I had a 69 camaro as 375 up 396 4 speed changed the cam to a zl1 cam 456 gears Lakewood traction bars slicks and headers ran low 11s high 10s in good air build it old school
The LS motor is strong and can take a lot of power! So that is shAt I’d use to get the numbers he wants on the quarter mile. Either turbocharged or supercharged! Love the video bud! Your smooth as silk n Russ loves ya!! We do to guys!! Keep on keeping on!!!
What do you think Russ should put in the engine bay of this Camaro?
LS
fix the engine in it. check the numbers also.
just seen no engine. hemi 350.
Go all in with an LS9

67 SS from the factory had a 327 not trying to put the video down in anyway they are great guess I told my age I had 3 0r 4 in my time thanks guys!!!!
Your wrong 1967 a SS350 was available this option I believe was a Camaro only engine
Thank you for going ahead and detailing this Camaro, I miss mine! Great job!!!
Love the “I need love” song in the background. It’s like the Camaro calling out!
Brent is a walking W
Yessssir
Slicks look like 14-32-15 and id like to see a nice big block in there ....at least 500 cubes or more 👊💪👍😆
Yessss!!! That's what I had in mine!!! And you are sooo on about tire size too ❤
I would just fix it and drive it, 68 is my favorite. A good 327 for power/economy. I like it too much to race it🙂

Awesome to hear he's taking it back to stock 💥👊
Hey WD detailing your the best car washers in the entire universe
Nice job guys I hope he puts it back on the street
Damn she looked good at the end! I think you boys did Russ proud! You did such a great job. You took her from old and sad to shiny and vintage!
Thank you!

Beauty of a car, even better detail
Yooo! Rus is back with another awesome car! Nice to see that Camaro looking like new. Worth the hard work!
He has so many cool cars!
Lots of detailing videos out there. Yours is my favorite.
Beautiful work on a beautiful car
That looks like 3-4 drag cars my dad used to own in the 70's & early 80's.
Definitely keep it old school looking like it is

That steering wheel came from a vega or a later Camaro .love the car. A solid roller 427 BBC. Would be great.
Someday I will own 67, 68 or 69....nice car, awesome work!
That was a gorgeous camaro it looked good after you all got done with it. 👍😎

Fantastic job that wasn't easy I had a steering wheel that was like that with not ever having a rap or cover on it what it was is a like protection like a Polly coating great job love your videos sorry so long
I have a old car with that same sticky mess on the steering wheel. Y'all really brought that Camaro back to life
I'm building one,I'm goin with a 539 ci with a American power.train 6 speed made to do protouring 780 hp double overdrive with Hodgkin's suspension frame extenders..... Nice car good luck 🤞👍 open up.the check book! But well worth it!!! Alot of family history!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!
If I was Russ I would put a 6.0 ls in it with a 78-80mm turbo.. on a stock motor it can make upward of 800 up and still be streetable
Same, Centerlines I had on my 1970 Chevelle...396 😉😊
I'd just like to take it back to when it came off the assembly line 👍
Just wow thats all i have to say wow

Very GOOD JOB
I want this car🥶
Commend you for saving the steering wheel. Suff leaches out of the rubber like a pcb. I threw some away in the past because i couldn't clean it off.
When you start buffing that old paint and it turns that beautiful Shiney black again it's remarkable.

Incredible job
383 keeps it streetable with good power
Thanks Russ you have some cool cars 👍
