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
@@mycatsdead Uhhh, I have bad news for you.
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 !
Best of luck to you in the future man, hope your out quickly!
Hey man. Same here. Cleaning and washing my car is a huge reliever of stress. Best of luck on your endeavors. Much love
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!
Good luck to you and I hope you get out soon.
I started because of my anxiety too. It DOES get better. You should join our discord, you can talk to us anytime!
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.
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!!!!
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!!
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.
Thank you for going ahead and detailing this Camaro, I miss mine! Great job!!!
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🙂
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 ❤
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.
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!!
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!
Love the “I need love” song in the background. It’s like the Camaro calling out!
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!
That’s exactly what we did! Thanks for the knowledge Brandon
@@WDDetailing It took a while for me to figure this one out. I was mostly done the interior before I tried something else. But next time...lol!
Brent. I have a 1981 Camaro Z28 and a 69 Camaro RS/SS with a 396 4 speed. And a disc brake conversion from Wildwood. But I love the sound of a 572 Big Block N/A with a big cam and with long tube headers, an off road X Pipe and straight thru Borla Mufflers.
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
I will always love the 1st gen camaro's I had 4 in my lifetime 3 69's & a 68.
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.
Nice job guys I hope he puts it back on the street
What a great job. You made this car as new!!!
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!
Hey WD detailing your the best car washers in the entire universe
Love your vids....but I think those seats are actually vinyl. They could take a good scrubbing back in the day
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
Awesome to hear he's taking it back to stock 💥👊
King for the day just by hauling this car around. Very nice!
this has to be one of my favorite videos of yours. Exceptional work!!!!
Crazy transformation!
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!
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 feel like a car like this needs a small block 350 mated up to a TH400 Trans.
But honestly a car like this is a great starting point for a restoration. I know Russ wants to race it but I would go the other way and restore it back to factory original.
Same here, I personally prefer originality (within reason of course). As cool as drag racing is I'd much rather have a driver that can be enjoyed any time on any day, not something that only gets towed to a strip every now and then, and then sits back in a garage again waiting like it did all those years.
Wow, that's amazing, it was so dusty I first thought it was a mat finish. Great job guys.
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.
When you start buffing that old paint and it turns that beautiful Shiney black again it's remarkable.
Nice!! I have a black 67 and enjoyed watching this transformation
I would leave it old school if it were me. It's a piece of history and should remain period correct
I have a old car with that same sticky mess on the steering wheel. Y'all really brought that Camaro back to life
Wowww, Camaro is pure gold brother, now it’s turning out cleaning.
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
I'd just like to take it back to when it came off the assembly line 👍
Great job guys as always but you should have painted the white lettering on the tires to make it pop even more. Looks really great 👍
Ooo that would have been cool!
The paint looked looked like an Earl Scheib $199.00 special . :)
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.
Awesome video guys!!!! I always watch before I go out and clean my classic cars to get tips and inspiration!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
That’s awesome! What do you have?
@@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 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 🙏 😊
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.
Lots of detailing videos out there. Yours is my favorite.
383 keeps it streetable with good power
It was so soothing to watch!!! Aaaaaaawh man i feel so relaxed!!!
Def a nice roller project .squeezing a 12v in there should be a cake walk
That was a gorgeous camaro it looked good after you all got done with it. 👍😎
I would like to see the car returned to it's factory condition with it's original colour(silver?). It would be worth more if it was restored
That man has a quite a few cars.
Even more in his barn too haha
The Wheels are 15x10 Centerlines and the tires look like a 28x 10.5 wide slick
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.
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
Trying to remember drag tire sizing like that but my guess is M50-15's
Awesome cleaning guys
Camero looks ready for its new motor.
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
Brent is a walking W
Yessssir
This video made my day big respected you guys for preserving American muscle my childhood friend had this exact car we used to ride around in it as teenagers I look back on it now that car was awesome just like this one my best friend passed away years ago this car brought back all the great times me and him had in that car thank you guys so much and when you have a chance always bring back American muscle cars bring them back to life it's an amazing transformation God bless America and God bless you guys keep up the good work I'm a big fan 🙏👍💪😂🇺🇲
Amazing transformation once again on a classic drag car. Awesome guys.
Bet that thing will be a monster when it gets up and running
On the sticky steering wheel, it's a coating on plastic that deteriorates. I've had it on several things including a nice set of binoculars. If you make a paste with baking soda and water and apply it (I used a toothbrush) it will take it off.
Wow. That transformation was INSANE
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!!!!
Great job on the Camaro guys! That thing needs to have a big block put back in it! What is the best thing to clean and beautify leather seats? I have a 2012 Honda Accord and the leather seats are really nice, I'd like to keep them that way.
Beauty of a car, even better detail
Very possible that car ran 9's. I ran mid 11's with a mild 427, a ZL1 cam and 4:10 gears. A 572 would put it in the 9's easy. Oh and that goo on the steering wheel is what happens when they sit for a long time. Something GM used in the rubber when they were made. It will get a residue starting again in a few months if it just sits without use.
😎🏁
Good job! Definitely brought it back to its glory days. Tires look like 28x10.5
Or a 12 inch wide
I would keep it as original as possible,I was 7years old when this car was put out! Just the car that needs to be restored love it
Yes. Please put this beautiful machine back on the road
Had 32 Camaros since 1979, OCD Obsessive Camaro Disorder for sure. IF THAT IS a 4P coded trim tag what he really should do is restore it since it's first year SS and the dash and firewall floors are not cut up too bad. One of the hottest Camaro Pairs to have is the newest and the oldest. IF NO 4P then resto mod it with an LS 5 speed.
I don't like classic cars, looking like this scheisse) make this legend look like a legend!)
That’s good stuff. Keep up the good work
You should build a playlist of old videos. And advertise that to new subscribers.
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 ⚫️ 😌 😍
Do the Chevy van in the front yard. Would like to see those cragars brought back to life.
Someday I will own 67, 68 or 69....nice car, awesome work!
Same, Centerlines I had on my 1970 Chevelle...396 😉😊
Beautiful work on a beautiful car
I would definitely put a LSX 454r in it🥰🤌🏽 I have OCD and LOVE cars so watching one of my dream muscle cars get cleaned is a double bonus 😁 awesome content man👍🏾✌🏾
Awesome Job Guys I love the 1967 Camaro because we're the same age😁
My dash has the sticky feel to it. What did you use to clean the steering wheel so I can try that on my car? Thank you for all of your amazing videos.
I'd definitely do a Morgan and Son's twin turbo small block!
Great work guys!! Btw.. I love your choices in music during your vids!
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.
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!!!
Awesome job guys! Sweet car!
An LS would probably be more dependable but growing up in the 60s and 70s I’m more of a big block guy, great video 👍😁
The safety inspection sticker is from when they used to do vehicle inspection check points back In the day. If we still had those most of the vehicles on the road today wouldn’t be around
The sticky solution coming out of the steering wheel is actually a breakdown of the glue and leather/vinyl UV rays and heat make it and weep from the pores pretty much every’s 80’s car does that same thing
Look like 31x13s.
And a pump gas 496/turbo 400 would be a nice combo for it.
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 👍👍👍
Solid roller small block, high comp,high flow alloy heads and a nasty cam with a top loader and nine inch
All of those Vega steering wheels seem to turn to goo over time. Vice Grip Garage had two of those. Good that you could save it. Car looks great!
Depends on the plans. If it's just for a fun weekend on the track id put 400 SB stroked to a 434. But if it's for some serious racing either a 481X or 502. With a pro-charger for power adder.
That steering wheel came from a vega or a later Camaro .love the car. A solid roller 427 BBC. Would be great.
