This channel is for the purpose of sharing some of my projects with others and potentially helping them with their own projects. Hopefully, some of my videos will be entertaining as well. Thank you for subscribing to my channel. I have had an interest in the automobile since I was about 6 years old. I once made a living as an engine rebuilder for a local Automotive Machine Shop. In my younger days, I raced the dirt tracks of the Southwest in Sprint Cars, Modifieds, and Stock Cars. Now I pretty much just restore, rebuild, and customize cars, trucks, and motorcycles of all makes. I like everything automotive, including gas station memorabilia. I have always done my own fabrication including mechanical, paint & body, and upholstery. It is just a hobby that gives me great satisfaction. I do not have a business and I am not for hire.

Dick- you did a masterful job of fabricating the exhaust for your Corvette. I was wondering if you considered an X-pipe or an H-pipe in the system. I have a C5 with the LS1 and Chevy used an H-pipe supposedly to tune the exhaust drone out of the system. I’ve also heard that the crossover pipes equalize pressure between cylinder banks which improves performance. Just found your channel and I love it. You are a master craftsman and truly a soon all trades automotive.

BAck in the day, we ( Auto Glass shop) used the yellow WS adhesive and after applying it, we would stick the Weatherstrip against it then pull it away and let it set up for a few minutes or longer, then attach the weatherstrip.... It seemed to stick well that way....

I have even put it together wet and tape it down until it dries and had good luck with that too. This video shows the way you're supposed to do it I believe.

Hard to find any videos of transmission swaps to 700r4 into a c2 corvette what clearance problems?

Question, did you ever do video showing you put body to see how it fit on the frame with new transmission and engine to see if you had transmission clearance on transmission tunnel and engine???
@DickShaw

Yes, I sure did! Plenty of clearance too!

I understand you probably want to keep the car as true to it's original form as possible, but getting a radiator with side tanks instead of top/bottom tanks will allow the water more time in the radiator, thus making it cooler when it exits. On the other hand, I have a rad with side tanks in my 429-equipped 64 Fairlane, and it still overheats at lights/in traffic (like your Tbird does), so maybe it would be a pointless change after all. :) I'm about to install a pusher version of the flex-a-lite on my car because I don't enough room to mount a puller fan along with the requisite shroud.

Great video! Appreciate the details as well. My 65 needs the same flairs removed. Question? Where did you buy the flair repair sections? Thank you
@DickShaw
@DickShaw 17 дней назад
Thanks for watching, I hope it is helpful. I bought my replacement panels from Ecklers when I got this car a couple years ago. I was just look at their website and couldn't find them now, but Zip Corvette sells them, www.zip-corvette.com/63-67-c2/body-fiberglass/corvette-body-panels-fiberglass/fender-flare-repair.html . Probably some others as well.

Thanks for watching. Just to install the replacement panel is a few days because you have wait time between the steps. I spent a lot more time because I was stripping all the paint off the whole body and making a lot of repairs elsewhere and then going through the process of primer/block sanding/ paint.

Glad to see you take those flairs off, they were awful. The color choice is a good one and yes, there’s only about a billion of those out there now 😂 My choice would have probably been white with a red interior but it’s not my car 😁👍🏻Looks really great Dick and that orange will stand out. Hope your having a great Father’s Day 😁👋🏻

The Datsun 'Z' looks nice, you have restored it in very good taste, nearly to factory look nothing over the top. It is a car that gives that 1970's fun driving pleasure when cars were cars and everything was so simple yet colourfull. Nostalgic memories of those good ol' days.🐞
