My friend had a 74. That was read the shifter in that is cool if you pull it down to low one or a first gear in the automatic when you're ready to shift instead of tapping it forward. Bump it to the right, just go ahead and slap it to the right. You'll kick up in the second slap it till the right again and it'll Camaro. Did that and I'm pretty sure it was his 74. They could have been the seventy six but i'm pretty sure it was a seventy four and maybe all of them do it so check that out
Don't get the fake rs split bumper with lower rectangle parking lights,please get a real split bumper bumper,If you do the fake one,it will look bad,really bad.I hate whoever makes it that way,it's a joke really
Kevin doesn't get the credit he deserves. I've learned a ton over the last 20 years or so going all the way back to Trucks! Thank you for putting in the effort into your UA-cam channel it's very much appreciated.
Yes Sir!! Power block tv was my favorite time slot of the week. Before widespread UA-cam and what not it was a wealth of information and entertainment for a gear head.
I own a lot to Kevin also, he's the best at explanations. Thanks Kevin @paintucation I'd also include a thanks to Stacey David, and Car Craft magazine. There are many more but these ppl helped me evolve and push further and further, always learning and bitting off more than I could chew and succeeding anyway.
@@hickeyskustomresto I've gotten used to biting off more than I could chew, it's very humbling most times, but it always leads to growth. Thanks for your kind words man, I really appreciate it
I’m really happy to see Vice Grip helping Kevin get more recognition and subscribers. Kevin is the real deal and can really offer the next, more internet based generation, a ton of useful knowledge.
This is the second og Derek has helped get a channels numbers up. Tony Angelo said his channel stay tuned might not of happend if he didn't talk to Derek and get encouragement and advise.
Kevin I love how much detail you get into with these videos for those of us wanting to learn looking forward to watching more especially that 280 you recently acquired.
Kevin is a legend in fabrication. He’s the greatest auto painter I’ve ever seen. We are lucky that he is creating this channel and we can watch him work.
Man, you have no idea how humbled I am by this comment. Thanks for your acknowledgement... I've been working hard for a long time to make a difference.
watching Trucks as a teenager was one of the huge contributors of me wanting to be a mechanic as an adult. crazy going back to watch some of those episodes now, the nostalgia is real.
As an autobody tech. of 50 years I was super surprised at the roof inner structure. 👍 You dodged a bullet there. 👍. Buy the way new subscriber here,I saw you first on V.G.G. Didn't know what I was missing.
Thanks Larry!!! I was expecting MUCH worse.... the roof alone gave me the confidence to save the rest of it. Glad to have you on board! You'll like the next couple vids on the "Garbage Camaro" gonna address the compressed balloon assembly... :)
Makes me happy that Derek has been with both Stacey and Kevin this week. This is awesome that my whole motor vehicle media consumption is coming together.
What i love already about this gentlemen is he's using a basic lawn mower and foot power to manhandle the car inside, but these younger generation you tube "stars" that have these super expensive brand new state of the art equipment/shops to do the same task. No bragging about how much money he has, no showboating or bragging, one of the very few channels I've seen like its kind. And sorry to say, vice grip garage or whatever its called, my opinion he's a showoff and does not deserve the recognition he is getting at all. Keep up the great videos
@@paintucation I met you one time at a Southern Middle Tennessee Home Depot. Even though I followed around like a stalker, you were cordial and kind after I finally got the nerve to speak. You're a good dude 👍🏼.
Dan at DD Speed Shop replaced about 90% of the sheet metal on a '67 Camaro. He really fought with it to get things to line up. Aftermarket repair panels apparently don't fit very well.
Missed you for a while glad I found this channel. That is awesome you are making that a split bumper camero. 74 is a ugly year looking forward to your next video. I always learn a lot from you.
Have to admit when you started cutting that roof skin off, I expected the worst. So happy this car will be living a new life now restyled in your competent hands, Kevin 🙂Will be looking forward to future episodes.
The 1970-1/2 split bumper Camaro is my favorite of all time. I was reliving the struggle and pain as I watched you push that car into the garage. Been there, done that! Feel the muscles burn! If your cardio is like mine, I bet those lungs hurt too! I absolutely love your floor jack. Super low profile and a real retro look. So cool! You have a very relatable personality Kevin. Good sense of timing when to be funny. I did notice the "Here's looking at you Derek" grille damage humor! I discovered you through Derek's channel, but now I'm here for the long haul. Your videos are entertaining, but more important to me, educational. I appreciate that. You keep making them Kevin, and I'll keep watching them !! All the best from Massachusetts! ☮️ on 🌎
Glad to hear you are going the 70 RS route,very cool !!! Look forward to your videos on this project and others! Thanks for what you do Kevin! Love the Vise Grip Garage connection.
Definitely going to be a killer project! The 2nd gen #Camaro is a staple now in the restoration world and for great reason. They absolutely are a perfect platform for either restoration or modifications. Cant wait to see this one unfold.
I love it! That's the beauty of being a fabricator and painter. You build it just the way YOU want it. Kudos !! Your video's are good for the enthusiast and the guys learning how to do this kind of stuff the right way !!
I know there’s a lot of editing that goes into videos. But dang does this guy work fast and efficiently. And as far as what other people have to say about how you build your car maybe they should have bought it before you got ahold of it if they wanted to see it done a certain way
These episodes kinda fall out of the camera the way they go... sure lots of edits... nobody wants to see every second go by, but it's 99% mostly real. Thanks for the props man!
That’s awesome to see it saved,I have my late fathers 72. When Derek moved close to me I begged him to help just get it going, use it for a video, but no luck yet
Looking forward to this build! I met you at SEMA several years ago and you couldn’t have been nicer, and it was cool to see ZedSled in person. I’ve always been impressed with your work and your willingness to help us regular folks.
I like what this guy is doing. and I will keep watching this channel. that's 2 channels I'll be watching out for. Your freand and mine. Vice grip garage.
Dam, you read my mind about creating a split bumper car!!! I would paint it like the Baldwin Motion cars were, but that’s just me. I always loved that paint scheme with the L88 hood.
So easy to watch your stuff Kevin I came across you working with Derek you guys are easy to listen to and follow so I'll keep watching when I get time too many shows are over the top and I lose interest thanks Man
Hey Kevin.. just like your way of doing things, and your up right honesty ,and the the teaching knowledge! Thank you for that, and all of the years watching you grow .
I did learn something… I never knew that about unibody cars and rust. I had, for a minute, a 65 Thunderbird. The floors were gone so my dad, being helpful, put two Do Not Enter signs in place! Great video
Kevin, I’m just glad to see you putting out content. You have so much knowledge and seem like such an awesome dude. You definitely made “The Power Block” worth watching during your time there.
Man this was by far my favorite episode. It was funny, it showed educational information for people that may be thinking of buying a project or wondering how deep a project may go, it showed how to disassemble a 2nd gen Camaro, and most importantly it's another Old Car Saved. Great Job!
After watching your very relatable struggle to move the Camaro into the shop I was hooked for the rest of the video. I think I remember Derik opened that car on a warm sunny TN day and spent several minutes trying to relate the odiferous qualities to us who were not there to partake.
Man, watching this after vice grip, low buck garage, and zip ties and bias plies… it just like watching TNN back in the day on a Saturday morning! Love the content Kevin! Cheers from Alberta Canada
Ol peggin leggin zip ties is a freakin riot! U really wanna see his unedited stuff on pareon i highly recommend it. He needs to do a collaboration with vice grip!
Nice collaboration with VGG. And I am looking forward to this series. Kevin, you do a great job of explaining the do’s and don’t’s , pros and cons. Thanks for helping the car community.
I feel the same way about 2nd gen Firebirds that you do about 2nd gen Camaros, so I can relate to a lot of this. I can almost smell the mouse pee as you cleaned those nests out lol. There were a ton of nests in the last Firebird I owned. I miss those cars! I'm glad to see you saving this one.
My first car was a 74 Type LT painted flat black. Loved that thing. It too had a vinyl top that had been removed. Roof was good trunk pan/quarter panels/rear frame rails were not.
Honestly Kevin, I've always loved your work on the various shows you worked on professionally, but I prefer this more raw, down to earth content. Thanks for your efforts, this was a great show!
Glad that VGG showed your work on the give away truck! This is a project to follow I like your style I am subbed looking forward to more Hi from Australia 😊
Great job Kevin . You captured the essence of many a guy working on his non running projects without help to push it uphill. Been there done that . Between You and Vicegrip garage as well as a few others I can still live out my dreams
I picked up a 74 Camaro that I will be tearing into this summer. Perfect timing for me to follow your progress on this build. Thank you for sharing your knowlege, a true master!!
I grew up around a 73 z28. Love those cars. My dad bought it new in 73 and still has it to this day. It's mint. I'm 40 and still can't wait to drive it lol.
I love watching him yrs ago thought me a lot as I was growing to who I am now hope he keeps on this platform and teaching plus keep Derek around to help you push next time lol
“Shut up”. I actually laughed out loud at that. I was feeling your pain. Glad you are here Kevin, it’s a great platform fit for you! Been a fan since your first day on another network
Love this project and the conversion from 74 to 70 is awesome. The 74 isn't a Z/28 so you're not ruining a classic Z 👍🏻 saw Stacy David doing a similar project but his Camaro didn't have the correct rear glass like yours so I'm looking forward following this project. Side note I really missed watching all the power block stuff and I was really excited when I found your channel 👍🏻
That's one hell of a cameraman to watch you struggle to push that car into the shop. I thought you were going to blow a gasket.🤯 Also, I know of a 1972 camaro RS that is for sale. Needs restored, but is in good condition. It was a 4 speed car originally.
@@paintucation it's a couple of houses down from me. I'm in Huron ohio. The car belonged to me about 20 yrs ago. It's been sitting untouched for 15-18 yrs. It has motor and transmission, but not original.
This is such a cool project. I had a 76 back in high school. Put way too much money and time into it. Love the idea of converting this to a 70-73 style. Will be watching for sure. Kevin is a top notch educator
Gonna be a great one to follow along with mate! 100% the right choice to make it a 70 not a 74, why make it ugly again lol. Obviously the vinyl roof was on there for a long time trapping the water on the surface of the skin and not leaking into the car at all with that serious lack of rust on all the frame work inside. It's gonna be great!!
LOVE Camaros!! Second gen my favorite. My only Camaro, '76 base model with a 305/auto upgrade and nothing else. Radio delete, the engine was the only music I needed! Lol. Oh yeah, orange with black interior made it look sportier than it actually was. All for $1,700 Canadian in the early '90s. Really enjoyed driving the car for almost 6 years as is(was)! ✌🇨🇦
I found your channel after seeing you on Between the Aisles! It was awesome to see you again after watching you for years on TV. I really look forward to this project!
Been there and done that on my 77 z28. i will be following along because it brings back memories, I did mine before the reproduction parts were so prevalent and right after GM discontinued the originals. I still enjoy mine and it's held up well.
You took the thought right out of my mind. I'd make a 70 split bumper Camero as well cause it's a good idea and a good start for building the car that you would rather have...
When you looked at the camera after struggling to push the car and said "shut up", I laughed out loud and had to hit the subscribe button. I've been there myself many times. I usually end up having to use either my lawn mower or my pick up to help move something around the yard.
One thing is for sure, Kevin does not get the credit that He deserves. I've been watching him since Power block TV days as a young teen. I learned how to rebuild motors do body work and " everything" else !!!! Super stoked about this build, looking forward for the next videos on this build. HOOTS
Thank you for the next level of saving these rides! Derek finds them, and now you can take them to the next level! I hope you do that and build your channel. No drama, just good clean processing of valuable cars being saved.
Thank you Kevin for pushing that car with your legs! I was taught that way back in the early 90’s when I was driving a tow truck. It’s the most direct route from the ground to the car, doesn’t involve your joints for your hands to your feet, and is way better for your back😂👍🏻💪🏻
Cool video. Had a couple first gens. One i bought on my 18th birthday. The other was a one family owned convertable that was stolen then found years later in a storage unit. If cars could tell there stories.❤
I remember when that car was new. I was 14 at the time. A neighbor bought a new gold color Type LT. I've had two second gen Camaros. a '79 Berlinetta and an '80 Z28. That was back in the mid-late '80s. They were in near new condition. AZ cars, zero rust. I remember being upset over a few scratches in the paint. I can only imagine what those cars would be worth today in that condition.
Kevin, first thank you for your videos and for all the training you have provided over the years (especially when you worked on obs chevys! ) watching f Your vid with Vggs camero....your chiropractor must love you lol be careful!
I love 2nd Gen Camaros! I'm gonna do all I can to bring this one back!
My friend had a 74. That was read the shifter in that is cool if you pull it down to low one or a first gear in the automatic when you're ready to shift instead of tapping it forward.

Kevin,you failed to mention the front glass,and how you cracked it,taking off the hood
Don't get the fake rs split bumper with lower rectangle parking lights,please get a real split bumper bumper,If you do the fake one,it will look bad,really bad.I hate whoever makes it that way,it's a joke really
This is the Mayo Clinic for cars!
Had a 77 Z2/8, with a 73 454 out of a Chevelle. She rocked! Much rather have a 68 or a 70-73.
Since Derek drove that home, it probably has front brakes. The back brakes, we'll pretend we didn't see those. Perfect.

Really is he better than the legend the little squingeali SHORTY😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅👺👹👺👹😎💤💤💯💯💯💯😊
He's good. I think Robbie has an edge on him in the painting realm, but still...
Way before there were youtube overnight classic car personality cults, there were guys like you. Much aporeciated.

I’m right there with you. The split bumper is one of my favorites.
When you pulled that front bumper, my first thought was to replace it with a split! 👏🏾👏🏾
Yeah Kevin knows a lot not afraid to work I’ve always been a fan good to see him doing stuff for sure
Pulled me in with the title. Kept me here with the content. Great work, brother. Subscribed.

I’m gonna love this build, that’s exactly what that car needs! A new set of front teeth!!!!! The Split bumper 70 Camaro is a way more attractive car.
Everybody agrees the split bumper is is the best looking. Stop beating a dead horse.
Glad I found this channel! Now I have something to watch on the body side of cars!

I was really, really hoping you go the split bumper direction with this. Love love love it...
My first car was a 74 Type LT painted flat black. Loved that thing. It too had a vinyl top that had been removed. Roof was good trunk pan/quarter panels/rear frame rails were not.
The best chop shop in LA couldn’t tear a car down that fast…lol. Love the idea of turning this into a 70 RS clone, my favorite Camero style.
I'm speedy! Lol!
Camaro
Honestly Kevin, I've always loved your work on the various shows you worked on professionally, but I prefer this more raw, down to earth content. Thanks for your efforts, this was a great show!
Thanks man! I'm enjoying this format very much. I can relax a little more and not pay attention to the clock. Thanks for watching!
You, are a machine man quite impressed that you pushed that in
Glad that VGG showed your work on the give away truck! This is a project to follow I like your style I am subbed looking forward to more Hi from Australia 😊

I grew up around a 73 z28. Love those cars. My dad bought it new in 73 and still has it to this day. It's mint. I'm 40 and still can't wait to drive it lol.
I love watching him yrs ago thought me a lot as I was growing to who I am now hope he keeps on this platform and teaching plus keep Derek around to help you push next time lol
Me too
“Shut up”. I actually laughed out loud at that. I was feeling your pain. Glad you are here Kevin, it’s a great platform fit for you! Been a fan since your first day on another network
Loved the split bumper Camaros when they came out and I still do 50+ years later. Great plan!
Love this project and the conversion from 74 to 70 is awesome. The 74 isn't a Z/28 so you're not ruining a classic Z 👍🏻 saw Stacy David doing a similar project but his Camaro didn't have the correct rear glass like yours so I'm looking forward following this project. Side note I really missed watching all the power block stuff and I was really excited when I found your channel 👍🏻
It was great seeing Kevin and Derrick working on that old Ford truck together!
Good job Derek at VGG selling this to Kevin. It's going to be a good project!
I have to wonder how Kevin doubted for a second that it had brakes. Everyone knows brakes are the first thing Derek always fixes...
Holy crap!! Can't believe you had a ten bolt (that lived) in Zed Sled. Crazy!
That's one hell of a cameraman to watch you struggle to push that car into the shop. I thought you were going to blow a gasket.🤯 Also, I know of a 1972 camaro RS that is for sale. Needs restored, but is in good condition. It was a 4 speed car originally.
Well heck! If I'd known where your 72 was maybe I wouldnt have stroked out pushing mine into the garage! LOL!
@@paintucation it's a couple of houses down from me. I'm in Huron ohio. The car belonged to me about 20 yrs ago. It's been sitting untouched for 15-18 yrs. It has motor and transmission, but not original.
Good to see Kevin doing What he's good at, been watching him forever and a day probably 20 plus years love is work and explanations
70 rs is cool but the 74 Z/28 was an amazing car with the bold Z/28 graphics!
Oh man I really want to see a full series rebuild of this, nice work got my hands itching!! 💪
I'm glad Kevin is trying to save this one👍💯
Kevin is a real pro! Ive done the rusty restoration thing for a long time and i always learn something valuable from his videos !
I would love to see this entire project
Glad to find Kevin on UA-cam! I'm subscribed now! Been watching him over the years.
Thanks for the sub!!
Totally the right move to transform this '74 donor into a '70 RS!
This is such a cool project. I had a 76 back in high school. Put way too much money and time into it. Love the idea of converting this to a 70-73 style. Will be watching for sure. Kevin is a top notch educator
Graveyard Cars has demonstrated that any car can be restored. Its just a matter of cost. Glad you said "worth saving".
That’s obvious….. but if it was to cost 75,000 to restore this…. Yeah,,, no! Hey how bout $50,000 to restore a Vega…
Really looking forward to this conversion build! I’ve owned 7 2nd gen’s including a 72 RS and 73 LT. glad you can save this one.
"Shut up!" I was feeling for you, man. I was always the guy called on to push around someone else's vehicle...Ha!
Gonna be a great one to follow along with mate! 100% the right choice to make it a 70 not a 74, why make it ugly again lol. Obviously the vinyl roof was on there for a long time trapping the water on the surface of the skin and not leaking into the car at all with that serious lack of rust on all the frame work inside. It's gonna be great!!
Are you sure Derek wasn't at the front the car, preventing you from pushing the car in the shop? 🤣🤣🤣 Hey, at least you got it in there!
Its so cool seeing you work in a more natural way and not formatted for TV. Always been a big fan!
I like it too! No time restrictions, no network rules. thanks man!
BAM, There we have it!
You got me, I am adding you to my subscription list, looking forward to seeing this car project journey.
What really love about watching this channel is that he does work like the average guy with the tools most of us have in our garages
LOVE Camaros!! Second gen my favorite. My only Camaro, '76 base model with a 305/auto upgrade and nothing else. Radio delete, the engine was the only music I needed! Lol. Oh yeah, orange with black interior made it look sportier than it actually was. All for $1,700 Canadian in the early '90s. Really enjoyed driving the car for almost 6 years as is(was)! ✌🇨🇦
Glad to hear you’re doing a 70’ front end and taillights that’s the best Camaro ever in my opinion
LOVE those Camaros. Had a 1976 back in the day. Would love to have another one. Will be watching. Thanks Kevin.
I found your channel after seeing you on Between the Aisles! It was awesome to see you again after watching you for years on TV. I really look forward to this project!
Thanks man!
Been there and done that on my 77 z28. i will be following along because it brings back memories, I did mine before the reproduction parts were so prevalent and right after GM discontinued the originals. I still enjoy mine and it's held up well.
You took the thought right out of my mind. I'd make a 70 split bumper Camero as well cause it's a good idea and a good start for building the car that you would rather have...
The years with those bulky steel bumpers are my favorite Camaros. Had hoped to find one some day.. Love the door dollies
I really like seeing how you assess the vehicle as you remove the parts. That is helpful to the home hobbyist vs typical UA-cam will it run vids.
When you looked at the camera after struggling to push the car and said "shut up", I laughed out loud and had to hit the subscribe button. I've been there myself many times. I usually end up having to use either my lawn mower or my pick up to help move something around the yard.
Nice. Look forward to seeing your vision come to fruition. Cheers from NZ
I watched the truck paint job you two did, and it's brought me here, Subscribed, Matt Australia
One thing is for sure, Kevin does not get the credit that He deserves. I've been watching him since Power block TV days as a young teen. I learned how to rebuild motors do body work and " everything" else !!!!
Super stoked about this build, looking forward for the next videos on this build.
HOOTS
Thank you for the next level of saving these rides! Derek finds them, and now you can take them to the next level! I hope you do that and build your channel. No drama, just good clean processing of valuable cars being saved.
Great video, new subscriber here from Columbus Ohio. Can’t wait to see the completion of this Camaro.
Thank you Kevin for pushing that car with your legs! I was taught that way back in the early 90’s when I was driving a tow truck. It’s the most direct route from the ground to the car, doesn’t involve your joints for your hands to your feet, and is way better for your back😂👍🏻💪🏻
PLUS! your quads are a pretty strong muscle group! even if you're "old an give-out" like me!
This was awesome…just found your channel. Liked. Subscribed.
Pretty awesome to see someone take one of Derek's rescues and make something of it.
Sometimes the planets align!! :)
I had a 74 as a teen, never got to drive it on the road because of my own poor decisions, one of my favorite cars.
Cool video.
Had a couple first gens. One i bought on my 18th birthday.
The other was a one family owned convertable that was stolen then found years later in a storage unit.
If cars could tell there stories.❤
Good content and nice to see someone using PPE.
I remember when that car was new. I was 14 at the time. A neighbor bought a new gold color Type LT. I've had two second gen Camaros. a '79 Berlinetta and an '80 Z28. That was back in the mid-late '80s. They were in near new condition. AZ cars, zero rust. I remember being upset over a few scratches in the paint. I can only imagine what those cars would be worth today in that condition.
Kevin, first thank you for your videos and for all the training you have provided over the years (especially when you worked on obs chevys! ) watching f
Your vid with Vggs camero....your chiropractor must love you lol be careful!
I like your game plan . I wish that I had 1/10 of your sheet metal skills
