So glad I found your channel! We just picked up a 65 GTO. Found it sitting in the woods for over 30 years. We are going to build it for my dad who sold his 64 and 65 almost 50 years ago to support his family. We are on a budget so we will be doing a lot of the work ourselves! I will be using your videos as a guide
This series, up til this point, has been utterly fantastic!! I’ve got a 64 rustbuc… err, Tempest that needs everything you’ve done- these video have been a Godsend! Hope to see more GOAT action soon :)
Hands down some of the best time-lapse or music over work there is…I’m mildly surprised for how rusty some parts were (Swiss cheese) there seems to be a lot of solid orig metal!!
OK I am playing catch up on the GTO project. This car is more then a rust bucket. I am amazed that you have undertaken such a difficult project. The panel install is great but it's areas like the window channel repair that I really enjoy. Your a true craftsman and that is reflected in what you have accomplished. Great videos and insight to how these cars where assembled at the factory.
I just discovered your channel and after binge watching, I'm completely invested in this build! I have a 67 Cutlass that I plan to clone into a 442 and the video of the floor pan install was exactly what I needed! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Looking forward to more vids on the GTO.
Your past the monotony part! Where you think will it ever get done! You now are near the finish of the body!! It’s coming along brilliant bud!!! Looking forward to the next one!!!
I can't wait for some more GTO videos, I have a 64 and doing almost the same repairs to mine. Also, it would be great if you had a GTO image on your t-shirts, maybe sometime in the future!!! Keep up all the great work on getting those cars back on the road.
This is my first GTO video, I love the 68 Charger. But you sure did a nice job, cutting and cleaning and fitting those fenderwells in. That trunk pan came out excellent as well, I guess I`m hooked I will watch both builds for now on. Joe from Michigan, love those mountains.
I have a 65 GTO Tri-power car that I am about to start the same exact process on and possibly more! I really enjoy watching this, it keeps me motivated on mine! Please keep these videos coming on this car so we can keep following along!! Thank you for sharing! I am going to try to post my videos on my channel as well!!
@@rustbucketrestos6511 you already know lol. I did all the work on my Judge a few years ago. It turned out great, apparently I got bored enough with nothing to do now to take on the 65. She's a project to say the least.
I should be working now but I just have to watch this. Been watching every episode since you bought the charger. Even though I am no a muscle car guy, you are still a great inspiration to keep going on my projects and putting in more time. It's also great how you involve your kids, I wish mine were more interested in what I do in the garage.
Great job becareful with soda blasting a buddy had it done an the panels were warped when it came back not bad enough to replace but made lots of extra work
Hello, love your video's on the 65 GTO. Just purchased a 65 Olds 442 another A-Body. I am needing full trunk pan also as the differential tunnel is rusted thru where it meets the aft floor pan and I am running into the same issue. Some suppliers says for a 66-67 442 and others say 64-67 and can see the back part by the tail panel difference. Also the ones listed for 64-67 are out of stock so it looks like I will be going with the one advertised for the 66-67 from Original Parts Group.
great work! I'm curious if there's any more videos coming? I'd like to see how those 66 A pillars worked out for you, I got a 65 tempest I'm getting ready to start on. I enjoyed watching these videos they definitely give a lot of good insight and fore thought before starting to make sparks.
I like following your work. Didn't you say in an earlier vid that you were going to tub the rear wells for some bigger tires? Now would have been the time to do it! FWIW, I have raced a 65 Olds 442 (same wheel well sizes) on and off for over 50 years. A 9" wide by 30" tall slick will fit under there without rubbing anywhere. That will be plenty of tire, NHRA legal stock class cars have that size limitation and the higher classes are running in the 9's. Once that POR cures, you will not be able to overcoat it and have it stay. The trick is to overcoat the POR before it cures and the two layers will bond to each other. The Krylon semi-gloss black is an almost perfect match to what the General used on these cars originally. Gloss black was not used anywhere in the places where you have painted it so far. Keep up the good work!
Wow. Now I don't know if I like the obvious take on LaGrange, or LaGrange itself! WHERE do you guys find all this WONDERFUL Music? Nice job on the Goat by the way, I watch you take your cars further than just about everyone I know or knew that actually had the means to do that kind of thing, let alone DIY. I did know a guy back in the day who was the type to chain 454's into Vegas. Some were really sick cars, other? Not so much (love to tell you about a Vega Delivery he literally twisted like a Washrag...was his first 454 car if memory serves), but that one guy was probably the only DIY-er in town...waiting for the Charger though...love watching all you guys bring them 'ol Chryslers back to life...
Your attention to detail is fantastic...some of the best work i have seen. Are there additional videos on the GTO or does it stop on episode 8 Keep up the great work.
R u going to do a video on the GTO and the Charger when u complete them looking forward to seeing them and the Cuda I love ur channel u do awesome work 👍
Would really dig on seeing you acid dip a project car before teardown in the future. Most videos are just blink and its dipped blink and its painted and I like that your videos are detailed and slower so you can use them as a how to. It would be a cool experience to watch you go through that step by step. Maybe after 10k subs and you start getting ads?
Awesome buddy top notch work I have seen high end restoration shops turn out allot worse than your DIY restoration, be really proud of what you are achieving with basic tooling. Ps how are you going to sort out inner arch to rear wheel arch as the new inner arch lip profile seems to be off. Maybe just the way the camera picks it up any how keep up the video buddy loving them..
They line up really well as they are. I’m going to build wide body rear quarters for it, so all of that stuff will still get a lot of finessing before it’s all done.
@@rustbucketrestos6511 that sounds so cool, don't over do the flairs too much or you may be forced to actually wear some in public as punishment lol. Take care bud..
@@rustbucketrestos6511 cool that makes sense, the gto has got sexy lines still looks like it is going 100 mph even in bits can't wait for next vids bud take care..
Nice work on the wheelhouse(s) and trunk floor pan! Man...that a lot of metal right there!! Gotta watch out for them free wheeling hand drills...they have a mind of their own you know. Separate subject....I gotta ask about the Stingray in the driveway; is that yours? Looks to be 1976 to 78 base on the rims.
Yes it’s a 77 L-82. I put a blueprint 383 Stroker in it a few years back and it’s a blast to drive! Sold it to one of my good friends that happens to be moving in next door! She’ll be in my driveway for about another week or so
Why are you mounting the wheelhouse?? You are gonna need more tire space later and modify them since you're building a 10 second car.. btw excellent job I know all that is not easy
I’m going to build custom wide body fenders for it. Inners will stay and outers will just be trimmed when I take out what I don’t need of the rear quarters.
So I am replace the back half of the 65 GTO and was wondering should I just cut the whole back half off and replace or do quarters and sail panels first then trunk filler?
They don’t make them for a 65. 66-67 are identical for the lower section, but the a-pillar post is at a different angle. It’s not a direct plug and play swap, but it can be modified to fit.
That’s the importance of measuring! I took a lot of time measuring and double/triple checking everything before welding it together. We’ll find out this weekend when I get it bolted back together!
Love your videos, but one request. Please try to balance the sound between you talking and the music. I like watching on my smart TV and I have to turn up the volume to hear what you're saying, then I get blasted when the music comes on.
I LOVE GTO JUDGES 1969 AND 1965 UP TO 1971 GTO . I HOPE BUY A GTO BECAUSE MY BROTHERS DIE PS MY BABY BROTHER TELL ME TELL.GET A GTO BEFORE HE PASS AWAY I TO GET ONE

Thanks brother! 🤘🤘
Thanks for your video gives me strength to do mine. Always hard figuring where to start without messing up lol
Gotta start somewhere! I always start with the rockers & the floor. Helps to have a solid foundation!
So much new sheet metal on the GTO, great work! I'm looking forward to the next episode. . . .👍👌👏😎
Thanks brother! 🤘😎🤘

Excellent!
Looking forward to more!
God Bless

It’s a family affair!

Wow!!! You are crankin' through this!!! Very inspiring!!!!!!

Thanks Greg! She’s coming together nicely! Can’t wait to get the rear quarters fit & into body work!
Took so long to get through this video because im on night shift but soooo worth it those welds look sooo tidy nice job mate looks so amazing
Thanks Barry! Don’t get caught watching my videos at work! 😆
Looks a lot like my 65 Chevelle metal work! Ready for body work and then (finally!) paint. Oh, and THEN, put it all back together again!
Can’t wait to get this ol girl back together!
I just discovered your channel and after binge watching, I'm completely invested in this build! I have a 67 Cutlass that I plan to clone into a 442 and the video of the floor pan install was exactly what I needed! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Looking forward to more vids on the GTO.
I like the videos! My dad and I are Building our own rust bucket 66 GTO. Love to have a couple tshirts
Great video. GTO starting get shape. It's going to be an awesome project once it's complete. Glad you got what it takes to get it done. great job.
Thanks Sam!
Your past the monotony part! Where you think will it ever get done! You now are near the finish of the body!! It’s coming along brilliant bud!!! Looking forward to the next one!!!

Starting to look like a whole car again. Love watching you work.

Thanks Rob!
Awesome job
Thanks! 🤘🤘
starting to look like a car again amazing job
Thanks man!
It still is scary on how much metal structure you take out at once but you get it back together. Amazing……
This one has gone back together great! Replaced a ton of sheet metal on her!
Awsome work ..love watchin these cars coming back to life
Thanks man! 🤘🤘
Looking good brother props from the UK
Thanks Gary! 🤘😎

Love the progress on the GTO. So much work. You are becoming my fav resto channel. Looking forward to the next video !
Hell yea 🤘🤘thanks for watching!
This is my first GTO video, I love the 68 Charger. But you sure did a nice job, cutting and cleaning and fitting those fenderwells in. That trunk pan came out excellent as well, I guess I`m hooked I will watch both builds for now on. Joe from Michigan, love those mountains.
Thanks for watching Joe!
I really enjoyed all of the 65 work. I very much want to see the rest of the restoration. When do you plan to continue?
Thanks for an excellent job.
Great Work!. Mostly I admire your patience!!!
Thanks Nick!
Fantastic coming along nicely. Structural integrity X100 👏 😁
Firmed her right up!
This was a great video! You are doing a great job on this car!!!

Cool project !
Your doing a great job !
Zoom Zoom 😀

That's basically how I installed everything on my 67 lemans. It sure was a lot of work.

Thanks brother! 🤘😎🤘
Nice work on the projects! Love what you're doing!
Thanks Dave!
I really like your videos. Your diy approach should inspire other people to try it.
Great job becareful with soda blasting a buddy had it done an the panels were warped when it came back not bad enough to replace but made lots of extra work
It’s looking so good man keep up the good work I can’t wait to see it up and running
great videos!!

Thanks Brian! 🙏
A lot of sheetmetal that's just the same of a '67 Chevelle. Keep up the Herculean work :-)

Yes! I will be getting back to the gto very soon.
If you paint the trunk Ace hardware sells krylon stone texture obsidian. It matches the inside of the quarters very well
My plan is to POR15 the rest of the trunk & floor. Dash will be painted to match the rest of the car.

Are there additional videos on the GTO or does it stop on episode 8
Keep up the great work.
Cold beer? I'm down with that I'll take one
🤘😎
I hope the parts are scuffed before the por15 and epoxy primer is applied? Another great vid, it’s really coming along. Air chisel happy boss!
ouch my eyes hurt, guess it's looking too much welding :D nice project, love these old gto's!
Wear some sunglasses! 😎
R u going to do a video on the GTO and the Charger when u complete them looking forward to seeing them and the Cuda I love ur channel u do awesome work 👍

It's tough up in here in Michigan to leave them bare metal for long
Yes it is! How’s your Cuda coming along? I’d love to see some pics!

Are you still working on this car? I see you are working on a Barracuda now. Will you be showing more on this build?
Yep, just been dealing with parts shortages on it for a few months now, hope to have it back in the shop soon!
Why are you mounting the wheelhouse?? You are gonna need more tire space later and modify them since you're building a 10 second car.. btw excellent job I know all that is not easy

Good job. In what country are those sheet metal parts manufactured? 👍
Hell if I know… but they are good pieces!
Where did you get the replacement full wheel houses? i am working on a 64 cutlass and I dont see the outers being sold, only the inners.
I believe they were dynacorn
doesnt look like they make cutlass either. Any new videos of this resto? I dont see any lately.
@@rustbucketrestos6511
👍
🤘😎🤘
Have you had any left over parts that would help me on my 65 Skylark. They are essentially the same parts.
Hi you purchased body panels made from AMD do you buy directly from AMD
I get about 95% of my sheet metal direct from AMD. By far the best out there!
Do you have a list somewhere of the tools you're using?
I do not… but I talk a lot about my tools I use in my Q&A videos.
So I am replace the back half of the 65 GTO and was wondering should I just cut the whole back half off and replace or do quarters and sail panels first then trunk filler?
I’d do it in pieces. Quarters and deck filler can be done at the same time. Tie it together with a new tail pane & it’ll all be all new! 👌
Ok, i haven't had any luck with finding a pair of door hinge pillars
They don’t make them for a 65. 66-67 are identical for the lower section, but the a-pillar post is at a different angle. It’s not a direct plug and play swap, but it can be modified to fit.
Rust Bucket Resto’s awesome thank you Ima go order me some
AMD sells them & they are excellent!
Dumb question here. What if all this work and the body does not sit square on the frame? Just asking.
That’s the importance of measuring! I took a lot of time measuring and double/triple checking everything before welding it together. We’ll find out this weekend when I get it bolted back together!
I prefer to have the sounds of your work in the foreground and the music more on the background. The reverse of what it is now.
10-4. I’ll turn the music up in the next video.
@@rustbucketrestos6511 No. DOWN. Pleaase?
Ok got it. Turn my voice down
@@rustbucketrestos6511 LOL. No! Work sounds UP, music DOWN!!!!
What ever happened with this restore project? Are you still working on it? I was really interested in this as I have a 65 I'm just starting.
Brooooo
Also extra parts ? Please PM.
I thought we had that music audio level issue solved. I was wrong.
Love your videos, but one request. Please try to balance the sound between you talking and the music. I like watching on my smart TV and I have to turn up the volume to hear what you're saying, then I get blasted when the music comes on.
looks like your in Brentwood Nor Cal
Nope, we live near Ogden, UT.
Looking for set of grills for 65 if you have extra.
I have a few other sets. Shoot me a message on Instagram
Did this car ever get finished, episode 8 is a far as i can find?
Someone's disliking this? Really?
Disliking with no feedback… I think he just subscribed so he could dislike lol
I get that I was brave enough to do a 70 Cuda and 71 Challenger at the same time not a good idea
Sounds like fun!

Trying to get the metal work wrapped up on the gto this week so I can bring it in the garage!
21:05 The little girl running by in the background. You're making too much noise! 😄😄
Disappointed you didn't widen out the wheel house like you said you were going to do in the last video!
where are the rest of the episodes...9, 10 etc
They are all on youtube
I thought you were tubin it?
Going to do a wide body instead. 😬

Once you get bit by the mopar bug everything else becomes secondary! I hope to bring it back this year sometime
When’s the next Charger episode?😢
Soon!!!
@@rustbucketrestos6511 thank goodness and hope you make it to 10k soon
Should happen this episode!
Where the charger
Update coming this week! Stay tuned!
What happened is this the last video
nice car build, but the obnoxiously loud music sucks and ruins it, couldn't watch the the vid.
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm sure he does it to keep it family friendly otherwise it would be nothing but bleeping out cuss words at least that's how it would be for me lol
That’s pretty accurate!
