Thanks for checking out my channel! I build, restore and modify classic cars full time in addition to selling some of the coolest cars on the planet! From Hellcat and LS swaps to modern muscle and luxury cars, I am going to cover some of the coolest stuff that comes through our facility. Welcome to Horsepower Warehouse.
Just watching this older vid, but I'd definitely buy a C2 that passed through your shop. Appreciate the "no BS"- proper due diligence approach, taking the car beyond typical build standards. Keep up the great work!
Hi Junior, Barcelona Steve here. Your (and your dad´s) spark plug antifouler story is just another example of how crooks will try to steal your hard earned money. Your sense of intregrity is wonderful. Your reasons for subcontracting to experts, such as Steve Keach at the Big Machine because he´s the best, is awesome.
Thanks You very much, no music, great rare information shared by a very talent😊ed young man! I’m currently working on my low mileage numbers matching and original early 1964 coupe with factory a/c and this information is invaluable!
Would you consider piecing together separate sections from different corvettes and creating a frankenvette? I live in Spain and I want a C3 so bad. It doesn't have to be original. I just want the people to go "ohhhh" when I drive by.
Let’s be true. First, Royal Pontiac sold a lot of pontiacs which did not get the bobcat treatment. Also never documented unless you had a receipt for the extra work, of which there are no records from Royal out there. Second, the Royal Bobcat package wasn’t anything odd. Simply recurved the distributor, rejetted the carbs, put manual linkage on the tripower, replaced the head gaskets with thinner gaskets. That’s it. Now a few, very few, and to the best of anyone’s knowledge there were less than 10 and those were sent out to magazines after the first article where a 4 barrel automatic car was tested and was a huge disappointment. That’s when all the rest of the tested GTOs were prepped by Royal, and the next car tested was a 421. Also while you can run a 421 crank in a 389 block, you have to take a half inch out of your main bearings on the crank to do it. The 421s had an extra casting hump by the distributor which made them obvious to anyone who ran pontiacs also. I could continue, but there is a lot that’s done to that car which is not correct for any GTO in 1965
What rear shocks are you using with the composite rear spring? I have a 67 427 with a new composite rear spring and I’m trying to get the bounce out of it
The rich always take advantage of working people. They are cheapskates with pay, benefits and when it comes to hiring a small business or contractor to do some work for them they want to low ball you. They expect you to do a job for next to nothing yet they don’t want to be treated like that. They got rich by taking advantage of people. They love to put the double screws to people.
Car restoration is a waste of money. Parts are too expensive. I did one and lost my investment, never again and the classic car market will never get another penny from me.
What a shop ! How big is that place ? DId they build RV's or Airplanes there before ? And this guy has vw's too ? Interesting. Any recommendations on a paint gun ? I am thinking Sata for 700, there are Iwatas and they are like the same money. I have several to paint and am still annoyed that I have a devilbliss finish line gun.
Hi can anyone please tell me what type of oil I use for a 1965 GTO straight 6? I can't find my manuel.. thanx in advance ❤😊 Ps that Bobcat is everything 🥰
New corvette looks nothing like a corvette. Wouldn’t it be brilliant to bring back the c2 body style in a brand new corvette. Just call it the stingray
A knock-off wheel fell off of my '66 Corvette today. Luckily I was only going 5-10mph. I've seen this video before, but didn't think it would happen to me. Gonna be an unpleasant conversation with the mechanic.
Great video, happy I found this channel! Q - I've read the big blocks can really overheat. when you restore one do you make any upgrades or changes to address that issue?
You mentioned that you used PPG paint and that this was done in the original color. Was it done in lacquer or was it done with modern paint? I have a 66 coupe restoring to factory condition, using PPG (prophet code) laguna blue in an original lacquer application, and thermoflux. Lotsa work doing it this way but is worthy for the deepness lacquer delivers, imho. Everything else makes the fiberglass look like plastic.
