I came across your channel just surfing through first gen. camaro videos. I've owned a '67 and a '68. I love them and wish to own another one. Anyway, I'm subscribed and I think your work is great. I've been a heavy construction equipment mechanic for 43 years and still enjoy wrenching on the old muscle cars. I appreciate your work. Thanks for the great videos.
Hello, I hope you enjoy these videos and hopefully it can help anyone who has a project they’re working on. They really are great cars and so doable. Thank you very much and have a great weekend👍🏼AL
I am new to your channel and I love the way you get down on these projects. You definitely inspire God bless you. I got a 68 that I’m working on. I’d love to share my photos when it’s done.
Your channel gives me the motivation to get off the couch and get into the garage. I have been following your channel from the beginning and have appreciate your approach. You don't see problems you see solution. Keep up the good work.
Hello, I hope you like these videos. These cars are so doable! I hope you make your way into the garage and get started on your project. Thank you very much and have a great night👍🏼AL
The same thing happened to me and a friend the Chevelle was in gear when it started, fortunately the other car had a big bumper so we were just sore for a couple of days.
Ever since that happened I always make it a habit to keep the back wheels off the ground when I start a new build. Thank you for sharing! Have a great weekend👍🏼AL
Yes it had some grease on the cylinders to keep it from getting surface rust, that’s the oil and the little grease left that’s smoking it all went away. Thank you and have a great weekend👍🏼AL
I would love to buy this car, running and driving ready for paint, I've been working on my 67 Camaro for the last 2 yrs, but I really like this car, thanks for sharing
Hello, it’s really not a bad car. I always say it doesn’t have to be painted to be able to drive and enjoy. I hope you enjoy these videos. Thank you and have a great weekend👍🏼AL
@@chuckypaonita7974 honestly we haven’t talk about price yet, I want to be fair with the gentleman I purchased it from so we’re going to talk about it Tuesday if he wants to go over it but will definitely let you know what happens👍🏼AL
Thank you! Yes it has 67 rs fenders and the rear quarters had half panels and didn’t have the side marker lights cut out. It definitely has a mix. WOW new that’s awesome!! How did they ride back then any better or worse than how they are now, I’m very curious. Have a great night 👍🏼AL
I should be finishing it up tomorrow or Tuesday. I will do my best to show how it goes together. If I miss anything as I’m doing it let me know ok. Have a great night👍🏼AL
You have a good point! I have another project I’m looking forward to starting on after I’m done with my black 69. It should be a nice build. Thank you and have a great day👍🏼AL
Those gears though. I have 3.08s with a 295/60/15's in the rear and they don't sound like that. Mine is a 396 so it has a little more torque down low...
Yes I think they’re 272 gears. I do have a 10 bolt with 373 gears that would be perfect for it. My black Camaro has 308 gears in it and I love those gears. I really didn’t want to put a ton of money into it to keep it affordable for someone who wants a first gen Camaro. Have an awesome day👍🏼AL
@@keepitsimplegarage-xp1kk I can cruise all day at 75 mph with those 3.08s but I want to step up a little bit. As soon as the 295's are worn out, I'll change them to something much closer to stock height and then figure out if I want 3.36 or 3.55s in it. Great video series. Don't give that thing away, even back to the guy you bought it from. Your time and expertise is definitely worth $$$
@@Corvette.Ronnie My son’s car has 355 gears and 4 speed with 255/60/15 bfg tires and it is a nice cruiser. My 69RS has 373 with an overdrive automatic with 255/60/15 bfg tires and cruises very nice. They really are great cars👍🏼AL
Hey Al I just found out a 69 Camaro rs had headlight washers I saw you had an rs in another video does it have them and i can’t find any videos of that working was just interested thanks
Hello, yes headlight washers were an option. I don’t have any pictures but I did have one years ago and it worked off the washer pump for your wipers. My RS doesn’t have it, It looks like a small silver button just above the head lights. Hold on my friend mr. Wilson was just working on one. I will ask him if he has any photos if he does I’ll post them on a video. Have an great day👍🏼AL
Hello, I’m hoping to get it out to the track next week🤞and take it out cruising maybe Tuesday. I will definitely keep you posted. Thank you very much👍🏼AL
