not the most?
absoloutly! saw this awsome work live in Denver last month when i made my trip to the USA
This video came out awesome. This is easily the deepest dive into my story, my 86, and my shop set up on the internet and it was so much fun to film. Thanks guys.
Saw your build at Sema. Very interesting work!
Great job on the car. It’s unbelievable what you accomplished.
I find you more interesting than the car itself.
@@sonny1redvw thanks dude
Cam you are such an inspiration👊
Incredibly inspiring story man. This kinda shit takes tremendous willpower and determination. I'm not even a huge car guy myself but I couldn't turn this video off. Being totally self-taught in every aspect of developing, prototyping, and building an entire car so robustly and clean says things words simply could never express. Generation-defining guy right there.
i wouldnt really say is inspiring he has all the money and time in the world to learn every skill and all the tools to make his wants and need for his car to become reality.,
@@Cryptonationxyzfr, people really have no idea how much money helps...along with the internet. Anything you could EVER want to learn is at your finger tips, all you need is time and to get more time you need more money.
@@MrSirGiuseppeou still have to plan it out, you can't just put time and money without having a plan or structure. Knowledge, experience, and motivation is still required for it to work. Think of businesses, just because you bought it doesn't mean it'll succeed even in the long term and throwing money into, you still have to run the business for it to function, you also still have to make a structure, a plan for it to actually succeed. People fail, they give up, it doesn't need to be just money alone, can be a mental thing regrets etc.
@@MrSirGiuseppeyou might have a point if he won the lottery and funded a team to build it, but he didn't. He built it himself. Making it real takes a staggering amount of willpower and dedication, in addition to the actual money to purchase tools, supplies, materials, parts, _the car itself..._
@@EnhancedTrashBin all of that is included 'time'. Typically if you have enough money to start a business, you have enough to succeed..its ultimately up to you whether you do or not. Most people I've ever known personally or heard about who owned businesses and lost everything, had plenty of chances and warning to get out or fix their issues.
The coolest bit to me is these cars are normally Form > Function but once Cam started talking about all the stuff underneath you can really tell that it is all about the Function and the From just comes naturally from Cams style. Super sick car.
I've wanted a full feature on this car for a really long time I have the video that Larry Chen did a while ago on my favorites playlist and actually watch it quite frequently this is literally the ultimate project car for me I hope someday I can create something half as cool as this
Better hope you have bucket loads of money too
@@blackpanda7612 If you happened to watch the video the guy worked his ass off to buy the car to begin with. And when he hit that point where the money was obscene he shifted his focus to writing sponsor proposals. If you work hard enough anything is possible
Something is up here, how tf is this dude affording a shop just starting college? What am i doing wrong in life 😂. Huge congrats to this guy!
He’s not. That’s daddies money lol. 0% chance he didn’t have help. You don’t buy a $20K car at age 17 unless you have significant help yet alone a freaking SHOP.
@@ChristopherGuilday not difficult to save up enough for a down payment on a $20k car at 16 lol.
@@zane812 you don't really cut up a car you have a down payment on.
He saved up enough and his grandpa was proud of him and bought the car for him, I believe was the original story.
Not sure how he afforded the shop. Rent?
If you work a $20-30k/yr job while living with parents and no bills, that’s a lot of money for fucking around.
@@vn.ninefive 20-30k/yr who is getting this money at 17-21. My country is famous for its relatively cheap work hand. I make 20400 country currency when you convert it to dollars is 11212. Inflation didn't help, many prices are x2 for some food and other supplies. The only way to make money here is to offer some service and work a second job. The good paying jobs are mostly occupied by people put there by others like ( close friend or boss that work in the same company) there are always exceptions of course.
On that first sound clip.... I put on headphones, closed my eyes, and a single tear ran down my cheek. (wipes tear).... Beautiful.
Amazing build by an incredibly inteligent and talented young man. His enthusiasm, creativity, ability to learn and decisiveness in his build is so impressive for anyone, let alone someone his age! I look forward to seeing his future projects...
I praise this young man, it's not everyday you see a person who wants to learn, fabricate, and take chances all because they absolutely love their automobile. "Enthusiast" doesn't do any justice for this man. Keep pushing, I can't wait to see what you come up with in the future.
Amazing story and personal character glad you made this video with TRC. Personally I Completely understand the situation of commitment and having doubting parents..... mine kinda did the next step of communication doubting to attacking the person's value till they give in or failure then commence to kick when down for months and years. Any new project to rebuild personal growth.... repeat. It's encouraging to hear your life experience, insight and vision throughout the build. Thank you 👍
That’s pure talent, hardwork, and vision at its peak from one man.
No this is definitely a little more the pure talent. I’m 25 and I do a lot of custom fab and have done many engine swaps but even I will admit it would never be possible without my dad…he help me out like crazy and just looking at this guys shop and tools…he got way more help the even I did. This guy obviously has all the support from his parents. Can’t knock the guy for it but at the same time it should be stated and recognized.
@@TheOnlyKontrol pure talent and help are not mutually exclusive
You can hear his passion for creativity in his voice when he speaks about his car. So awesome
Such a cool guy talked back and forth his whole build so down to earth
I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for him, if this is what his 1st build looks like, I can’t imagine his skill set in 5 years or so. He’s the next Chip Foose, Ring Brothers, Kindig-It. I’ve been waiting to see this car on the road, great video!!!.
Not taking anything away from what he's done but man, the stuff you can do when you have financial aid and sponsors. I dont even know how he had the time to do all this with college.
Rich parents goes a looong way. Not as fortunate on my end, but Im still happy with the Broken Honda Pilot i got from working minimum wage over here. Cant even afford basic tools to start working on my car.
His paren't didn't help him. He did this all himself. He got sponsors BECAUSE he was doing cool stuff and showing it off.
@@eliaswilliams6102 His paren't didn't help him. He did this all himself. He got sponsors BECAUSE he was doing cool stuff and showing it off.
@@FrakMunkie bs. How did he afford this car, college and a workshop at his age?
Guys like this will keep the car scene going💪💯
What rich.
@@douglasgreninger110 He mentioned he had help/ sponsors but I more meant the enthusiastic type 🤷♂️🤣 was a Rich guy hater too until I figured out they are the ones keeping the wheel turning give guys 9-5 jobs.
Super inspiring, Always enjoy seeing someone confident in their ideas and willing to try and fail!
Dudes gonna be doing great stuff in the future if he keeps it going
All I’m saying is thank you for not putting stupid amounts of camber on it like every other guy with an 86 or brz🙏🏼
Dude! That’s an awesome build, this is what custom imports was all about at its highest back in the day. Awesome.
I followed this build for some time already and for the reason, that cam is as old as me, he is a true inspiration. I have some dreams for all the cars i have, but i will have to pretty much reorganize myself. I will have to get to every one of my 6 cars that i own at this point, but as you showed us, this is very much possible
What a nice combo, it can blurb like a cruiser but also scream like a track beast.
Damn. Dude is the ultimate example of what you can do if you just get off the couch. Congrats man
Wow an 86 I actually like. It's a work of art for sure.
MASTERPIECE! its tru they say LESS IS MORE... so clean. The Kid DESERVES MAD RESPECT - the drive - the dedication - the vision - the finished product -------------- what a story ! inspiring!
Awesome video, I'm impressed with his god damn welds let alone anything else! Instead of hating on this guy for having an awesome build, why don't you draw inspiration and make your own reality better? I probably won't ever have anything like that equipment let alone ability, even just a hoist is a dream for me, but still it doesn't stop me from making my own project build to the best of my situation. Way to go young man, shows what time and focus can do.
That's a trophy car, what a beautiful build and amazing vision. Some give this guy a contract, this guy has talent!
this is hands down the most insane, creative, amazing build i've ever seen....ever.
Proves anything is possible..Absolutely excellent video... Especially the last 2 minutes. Very important for the younger generation to watch..
Been following him for years he paving the way for a lot of brz builds
This guy is truely inspiring personality. MAD RESPECT
he put the compressor airsuspension on that position is next level of build 🥲give him gold medal.. behind the mastermind
This guy got a mindset of work men forever winning car looks sick.
i remember seeing this, the absolute work involved is insanity. let alone first time ever doing it
So much attention to detail 😮❤ 👍 👍 Form and function come together with his own style. That is what custom car building is about. Great work.
Holy hell THAT SOUND!!!! What a sick build!
At 16 years old this dude has created a mechanical engineering curriculum better than any college out here. sheeshh
That jig technique. Wow that's some really smart way of doing it without loosing all that factory geometry. Don't mind if I borrow that.
My only gripe is its so heinously loud, otherwise a perfect build
An awesome mindset indeed, you can absolutely do this with the plethora of information available online but you have to admit that Cameron Cocalis is quite a smart dude lol
I was like, isn’t that trevers boy? It is!
:)
There's nothing like a Nice set of headers and mandrel bends.. I have to get a Nice Down Pipe for my turbo and get rid of that Cast iron 90 degree bend down pipe that weighed like 50 lbs out of my car.. God the turbo spools up so nice and sounds so good.. I put a Fast Religion Down Pipe on My Nissan Juke Moved a Fast Cat into the Mid Pipe and put a 2J Cat Back in. Had her Tuned and Gain a 100 WT torque on the DYNO to the wheels. went from 150 WT WHP to 246 WT and 240 WHP...
That guy has a lot of self taught custom car building that car is badass absolutely love it
That started up made my heart race like my motorcycle waking up in the morning 😖 good job bro one day I hope I can build a car as nice
For those who didnt watch Larry Chen's video, here's where the funds came from.
Started saving for a car when he was 6yrs old. Saved 15k by the time he was 16yrs old. His grandfather was so impressed that he saved that for his car. That he replenished his money and told him to do great things with the car.
This kid was motivated since day one!
Please cam make a tribute car for the late Ken Block. His family deserves it and i think everyone would love to see you build something amazing for Ken Block R.I.P.
A chrome strut brace would really complete this! Love it!
Guess he's committed 😂❤
I would love to hire this guy because this car is a work of excellence.
Racing look and full power. Excellent👍
That's a crazy build.....💯🎯
Didn’t know Kylo Ren liked building cars , cool👍🏼👍🏼
This man’s story is pure thriller😎
This thing is insane! Awesome!🤘
Man this build is insane ❤
He is giving me The Zero F**ks Given RX7 vibes from back in the day TUNED. Just much cleaner and safer but I guess that's 2023 for you.
That cage looks Forrest Wang-ish. Door bars and dimple die a piller gussets. Very similar!
love how the number plate swings in the back, haha.
Definatly looking for a good 86 for a long time project defo wana get into builds like these
The beginning quote is my life story 😂 inspired to continue to do the crazy stuff 🎉
Love the build love the car the sound got some years to learn to drive 😂
Congrats man
super interesting and inspiring story, I enjoyed very much learning the process of how this became to be, from the shop to the car.
Yes... I got a lot of money cause my dad is rich and I'm committed to do what ever I want to develop my desires! Even that... Friking good job man!
My hat off to you sir. Had a dream. Went after it and then took further. Sky’s the limit my man
Rich parents the limit.
It would be a dream of mine to build a car with cam, learn the skills and knowledge from him and create something of my own
Watching this amazing 21yr old with a pretty much fully custom 86 while I wait for a simple oil to be completed on my Audi😶
Amazing.. You did a great job! I'm imagining it with a mad max style supercharger and blower 👀
This is a Masterpiece!
Cleanest battery relocation set up ever
That sound is absolutely beautiful
Seeing videos of people my age all scucessful and making it makes me relaize how far i am from my dreams lmao
Absolute genius! great job and much respect, watching from the islands of Antigua and Barbuda
I wish I could be focused and motivated to do cool stuff. This is awsome.
should do the same think from your front window and put one on the back all you got to do is unscrew it to get in the back of the car. it would look cool as well just saying
One bad machine
This guys a wizard man
Guys a fucking wizard 😂
-- Is "We're meeting back up again"
more powerful and/or convincing than
"We're meeting again"?
21 year old has a shit ton of money and build nice race car… nice
The sound is insane ❤
this car is lovely
This thing makes Ferrari’s and lambo’s look like regular traffic
Not at all
Once he gets it tuned up and learns how to drive it, that's gonna be one badass mofo. My son just bought a K24 swapped 91 MR2 with a 6 speed. It's basically a straight up race car and he's still a little apprehensive driving it hard. Seems like the same thing here. This kid's got talent tho I gotta say. Hope he doesn't ball it up lol.
All the kids watching this, the opening 25 seconds is the mindset you NEED to have to be successful in life, business, entrepreneurial, etc…
That is very impressive. What a talent!
What a masterpiece 😍
this kid since sema i’m sure has every company just throwing all the top parts at him to have a part in this
the addys be hittin in secne one.
Art on wheels
That SOUND BRO HELL YEH😈
Give me 10s of thousands of dollars and the tools to do what I want and watch me gooooo! awesome build my dude. I wish i had the toys and money to do stuff like this..
What a fkn legend! So chill!
crazy crazy build
This kid aint no hero, the credit goes to daddy, anyone can realise their dreams if they are born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Got enough money, can build whatevee you want at whatever age. Cool car though
Where there is a will , there is a way. This kid killed it
These guys need aviation headsets
That's awesome. The things i could have done with parental support$$$ oh well maybe in another life
That couch looks familiar. Y’all got some splaining to do TRC.
🫣😂
gt86 really is the current day civic, you can do the coolest shit to it but at the end of the day it is still just a civic lol
Please shut up.
kinda a shame its a cross between show/drift instead of dedicated track or time attack. But still extremely impressed. This guy should def start taking orders.
