No fabrication experience here. Took an auto body class for a semester in high school four decades ago though. Lol. I’m in sales for my day job, this is hobby stuff for me. Thanks for watching!
@@letsgetdirtygarage6197 Whatever color you go with, I think it would look good if you got the tan color on the interior painted the same color as the body.
i'll be doing quite a bit of this for the first time on my '72 el camino classic. picked it up about a week ago, completely original never been touched factory 307/TH350. and in amazing shape other than the rust. been off the road since 1986. have frame and floor issues too that i'll be tackling. i have a 68 body on a rolling frame thats from TN (i'm in upstate NY) so i'll have that as a backup plan.
The housing, water pump, damper and bolt kit I bought right from Holley. The alternator is a standard DR44 available just about everywhere. The compressor is a Sanden SD7 and the PS pump and pulley were generic type 2 versions from Amazon. If you go to the Holley website, they will have a PDF of the kit contents that you can cross reference part numbers. Thanks for watching!
Hey brother keep posting your videos friends of mine and I have seen these videos and has helped them out a lot we need more videos like this thank you
Hi I have a 69 here in U.K. and followed your video to the letter ( after watching it multiple times). Everything worked out fine so now am cleaning and lubricating parts before installing new rubbers. Many thanks very useful. Neale
Gary, your ingenuity, craftsmanship, and tenacity are awesome! I am dazzled by what you've created here. On my Elco, I'm just going with a dash out of a mid-70s Monte Carlo, which is much simpler. But then, I couldn't afford a donor vehicle; I could barely afford the rolling chassis!
I am doing the same thing!! 69 Elcam 5.3 from 2013 silverado, 6l80. I had to cut my tunnel out as well. I cheated and purchased a pre formed piece of sheet metal and welded it in. I also used the original cross member on tranny and it fits beautiful. I used the ICT billet motor mounts. how did you use the original motor mounts? I will try to upload some pics, I am almost ready to start engine. I have stand alone wire harness with pcm under dash on passenger side as well as AAW full interior harness and electronic tap shifter..that was fun installing. Ive never done this before.. great learning. I like your video it makes me feel good ,I think i am doing mine correct.
Awesome videos! I bought a 68 elco a couple months ago and I’ve been watching all your videos as I go along working on mine, next up is the rear window opening!
Have you ever thought about making a fiberglass mold of the Camaro door panels and dash and then cutting and movint things around? Seems like to me that would be easier than messing with plastic.
I thought about it but realized since I have to smooth and wrap it anyway, getting to avoid making all the attachment points was gonna save a bunch of time.
I wish they made a newer version of the trans am so I could do a newer interior swap on my 86 trans am. You're doing a great job so far sir.. much respect... great channel, great video too🎉🎉😊
