Watch us restore a 1972 Chevy Nova from start to finish on camera in our Rustorations Series, fun thing is I have never done this before at least not of this scale. Going to learn how to do it and film it all for the series. On this channel you are going to see videos dedicated to capturing the glory of classic cars, but also tell the stories of a new generation of car enthusiasts. My name is TrooperMax, I'm a car enthusiastic and filmmaker from Canada. Since I was a kid I've been addicted to anything with four wheels and I've made it my mission to bring to you the best classic car content. With that said I created Between the Wheels to capture the stories and share them with the world before they're gone.

Ok sooo I'm in a dilemma i want buy this 2002 eldorado it only has 50,000 miles on it but in scared because it has the northstar engine 4.6 V8 and some people say theirs have blown head gaskets but some say they haven't, idk
I was 18 years old in 1978 and the dealership I worked at got a brand new L9000 cab over. I got the the chance to take it on a couple of drives. Love Love Love. What a Fine truck.
This was a sizable event with many aspects to it, yet you captured so much of what it was like to be there. You got the fun, the camaraderie, the personal touches and the excitement of old time drag racing. These events are not easy to plan ahead for, but you made up a laundry list and winged it and as a result you nailed it Buddy. That, my friend, takes guts and talent. This piece is ready for broadcast! 👍👍
Thanks for the kind words Blayne I am certainly happy we were able to capture the spirit of what the event was about. But thats all thanks to people like yourself for making it happen. I could certainly sense a hint of excitement and seeing the guys/gals getting into it will only make it grow bigger and bigger. Was awesome to see guys like Rob say he wasnt going to run and he ended up melting his tires just for the crowds delight. I can really see this growing every year hopefully next year it will be bigger/better. All the best
If you seen need more info and want to see a real pro check out www.youtube.com/@carthageclassiccars on youtube. He's a real pro Richard is the best of the best.
Oh yeah he was a great dude. I didnt know him as well as mike I only met him a few times but he leaves an impact for sure. I ended up doing some rock projects at my old house like he did on his youtube channel. If youve never seen his cocnrete videos theyre really cool.
Awesome he made quite a lot of noise with his presence that car was everywhere on the news and social media. Iconic car indeed and person too. Having seen this episode anything else youd like to see? We do car videos here. Maybe another TPB car or a certain type of car? always looking for ideas
Right On Marco! I remember those early days back in the 80's - 90's, I remember well. Fun times, still fun times, like you say, we just got better parts now. (LOL) Nothing like getting in your ride, forget all your troubles, letten'r Ripp, grinin ear to ear the whole time behind the wheel! Cool car bro. Keep it between the lines, and keep having fun!
What I would do to live in those times. But hey I'm lucky enough people can relive those experiences with me as the passenger pretty darn cool if you ask me
@@SubdivisionAuto A example of different times, I have owned Chevelle's purchased for $300. & $700. that grandma grocery getters mint, just all stock. My preference though have been '68 Firebirds (4 of them) they were plentiful, and at the time weren't as in demand as the Camaro, Two of the four were actually given to me for the price of hauling them out of the previous owners yards!! Needless to say I always had spare parts. I t blows me away today when I see what people are asking for them today even one's I would've considered scrap back then. (LOL)
I have the same car but white with blue stripes all stock I think I’m a keep it that way, unfortunately it’s a daily driven car but hey we only live ones it’s better to enjoy them then locking them away in a garage. Every time I drive mine it brings a smile the louder the wine the bigger the smile. I hope to see his dad’s 99 firebird.
Try to punch all your holes on your flanges before you spray the welding primer so when you do new spot welds there will be enough zinc to fill in the weld spot. And “Mastercoat” is proven to be a way better product for frame coating and inner panel coating etc. good work sir. 💯
Good to know thanks for the tips. Have not heard of "Mastercoat" but will look into it since I still have a lot to frame coat. Thanks man for the comments
Awesome man. If you can do full quarters first I highly recommend that then drop the roof on. The sail panels are not the best way to go but I never expected to do full quarters when I did this. Good luck! Quarter vid just came out it all works together
Right from the beginning I was thinking, 'He must have a bazillion tools for this job.' Then you started talking about all the tools. My goodness! I was especially impressed with the Reach Pro 6000. 🤣🤣 Where'd you get that? Amazon? 🤣🤣 I had no idea this was going to be such a massive job. Good thing Bobby is there to help! 😁 Also, leaving off the quarter panel to work on the trunk was a great idea!! Sorry I haven't been around much. I'll try to do better. Thank you for the video, TrooperMax!! 🚘👍❤
Lol! My tools are pretty crude literally all amazon cheapo tools but hey they get the job done for a novice like myself ! Yeah I never imaged to do all this all I planned on was fixing the rust above the wheels and bam look what happened. Next thing you know there is no roof or any quarter panels. Crazy life I live. Thanks for watching doing apologize it's nice to see you drop in! You may like the previous video too it was a drag racing video called Wayne Young Memorial. I got to try drag racing was really fun. And a great community of people
@@SubdivisionAuto No Max. All of your tools looked good to me...then, at 34:34 you pulled out the folded piece of cardboard and called it the Reach Pro 6000. I laughed out loud!! I figured the piece of cardboard came from an Amazon box. That was too funny! This was another really good video!!
Yeah man. If you like this car you will like what comes out later down the line. Just about to film with a 68 runner with a 426 Hemi and a 70 with a 572 Hemi! You'd probably like the dodge dart Vidoo on this channel too that's a good one too!
Oh the outer side yeah inner side I'm not too worried. Trick I've been using (not sure if I added it to this video) is using laquer thinner. If it comes off then it's crap e coat if it doesn't I keep it on. But like I said only for interior panels exterior I'll ripp it all down and epoxy the whole sucker one shot. But yes you are right
@@travlite8496 awesomean yeah for sure drop any suggestions you have always looking to learn! Thanks for watching and the kind words I still got a long way to go lots of mistakes and poor work still
@@SubdivisionAuto Carthage knows a lot he's a good channel to get and learn this trade from he does it correctly I wouldn't do anything Bad Chad does he's not doing things like a restoration should be done he's good at chopping cars that's about it to be honest
@@travlite8496 yeah honestly I did t watch enough of his stuff to know or have the experience to recognize he's not doing things correctly. But after all the comments I can say I am learning from you guys. Good stuff to know. Yeah Richard is amazing he does good work.
Thanks Ross. I know I can squeeze several videos out of this and stretch it but I really wanted to keep as as condensed and information loaded as possible. I think it was worth the 6 months it took to film. Still could improve a lot though working on it! Thanks as always man you'll like the next one it's kind of a cluster#$_&
Lol I am learning a lot more about bad Chad just from the comments. Glad I made that comparison. Guess if your not a pro you just don't know but you seem to be like everyone else this fast saying the same thing. So guess Chad isn't as great as he says he is
Bro I see the Canadian flag so I assume you are Canadian… go to Canadian Tire and get Tremclad semi gloss black… same thing as Eastwood chassis black’s shine… but cheaper and tuffer
Honestly I've sprayed tremclad Ona. Rusty wheel barrow years ago with zero prep and I swear it outlasted the chassis black. The Eastwood did not impress. It did at first but any sort of impact or heat variation and the stuff peels. Good tip
Two of my favorite things in this world a Chevy nova ( mom had a 70 4 door I believe, I remember it being that old green color, gm must have had a lot of it) and real professional wrestling. Enjoying watching your nova build as it’s my dream car also
@@SubdivisionAuto this car is special and it was a lot of fun finding out about the painting. Apart from that, not sure really. It's nice to hear stories from guys who've put their blood, sweat and tears into a project.
Hi max good on you for doing this yourself i watched lots of videos on how to do this to my 71 nova i finally decided to seam seal mine using a flange tool im very happy with the results I'll keep watching
Thanks Kevin. Yeah this job took a while and took quitea but if tools and materials but happy with it. I am however using epoxy 3m seam sealer everywhere else. Only using the one part seam sealer for low water areas. Floor pans getting more heavy duty stuff. Good on yaan get er done let us know how it goes
There is nothing stupid about protecting yourself. As a fabricator myself I learned quickly from my elders who's health are in danger do to not protecting their lungs, eyes, skin (flash burns), hearing and knees. Yes knees. Wear knee pads and get yourself a good quality mobile stool. Just my 2 cents but trust me, 20 years from now you will see the benefit compared to those who didn't consider all of the available protection. Your project is looking good and for not ever attempting this you are heading in a positive direction with it.
Thanks for this insightful comment. I would have to agree with you sometimes it may seem like overkill but over time all the wear and tear adds up. Since the incident I have not had anything happen and made good progress so I am not against some more PPE. I always see guys like badchad without any safety gear but it takes one moment to lose it all. THanks again man
I'm guessing this account is based out of or near Ottawa upon checking out some of your other posts, thousand islands, luskville dragway, etc. I think i've actually seen this Dart at Bells Corners CT, didn't meet the owner though, that's fuckin awesome, love the Dart and the black n tor red or whatever colour that is. Beautiful car, nothing beats old school Mopars.
Haha not at all dude you were crushing it out there if you did the time I did or worse people would think you broke down. Plus I'm pretty sure I had the slowest takeoff ever recorded. Was fun just to try it out didn't expect to do it without messing anything up as it was so happy with how it went. Was cool to do
