Anyone have a good 💡 for a name on this car? Was thinking of doing a Chevelle t-shirt. Maybe a good slogan? Lol. My creativity with that kind of thing is not great. Huge thank you to you guys for any ideas. Thanks!
The great thing about RU-vid is you can find people working on things out of their garage at home. I find it more pleasurable watching people work on things in the every day "common" man workplace unlike these television shows or how some RU-vidrs get to the point of what gets to be a high dollar looking shop and only working on things in ideal weather conditions on a squeaky clean painted garage floor.The best RU-vid channels just as yours, are the one's that aline with the every day "common" man. Thanks for all your work you put into these videos.
Omg! WE NEED PART 3!!! My boyfriend and I love your channel and appreciate all your knowledge and hard work. We are so curious to see how this chevelle progresses.
@@shanes3060 luv that channel. The first chevelle vid i seen hooked me to his channel. I was just surfing youtube and was lucky to see his channel and at that time it was part 1 on the chevelle. I was hooked
A Chevelle SS tribute with a BB, Rally Wheels, B&M Shifter, Ladder Bars, tinted windows, 6x9's with Fun Fur on the rear deck. It's what we here in Pa. considered "Standard Equipment" in the 80's. Someone really loved that car. I love seeing these gems still rollin'.
My el camino was factory with green interior and someone painted it black. It has Camaro wheels and a B&M star shifter. Sometimes I think about putting the column shifter back in. I currently have an overdrive transmission and could use a four speed shifter but the old one works you just can't manually put it in first gear.
My two young sons (11 and 13) and I watched this together. We are waiting for the weather to warm up to work on our 73 Nova. We have watched many of your videos together. We love your work and you have inspired us. Thank you.
That's awesome, so glad to hear you guys enjoyed the video and have checked out others on the channel. Thank you for that. And yeah the warm weather will be nice!
That Chevelle looks so much better with the ride height fixed, that window tint removed, and the rally wheel centers installed. My first car was a '66 Malibu.
I've always hated those factory auto tensioning hose clamps. I've seen them leak and I like tightening the worm gear ones. This is my new favorite channel.
Hey man, love the down to earth style of your videos…awesome to see an actual mechanic not just throwing parts at a project. Thanks for the upload, and a super cool car..:)
I love all your videos. I think one of the greatest things about them is that you fast forward while you’re doing little things rather than making us watch it. Keep up the good work!
Hey Chris ! I love what you're doing to the Chevelle , man it is looking good! Very much looking forward to part 3 and beyond. Jen did a real good job with painting , the living room looks real nice. Thumbs UP to the both of you. Thank you for the awesome videos. 👍
Another great video I really enjoy it even the snow was nice here in San Antonio it doesn't snow except when we had that winter blast when the power went out I was really cold in my apartment with no heat for three days of 12 degrees .
You are higher up on my watch list than VGG for your content, and pace. My kids make fun of me for saving containers like my peanut jars. Your energy level is rare.
Nice progress Chris!!! Thank god for bead sealer, needle scalers and wire wheels!!! LOL. Glad you got the suspension a little more dialed in. I bet it would be pretty awesome with some decent shocks and some cheap coilovers. The QA1's are the hot ticket for the budget DIY coilover setup. They are especially popular with the circle track guys, and def meant for the domestic stuff. The drilled out ignition tumbler brings back memories for me LMAO. I was running one of my e34's with the ignition switch dangling and a pair of needle nose vice grips to hold the steering lock off when my lock cylinder linkage snapped and I was too lazy to change it for a couple months. Cheap ass pot metal. Funny thing was the key fit PERFECTLY in the back of the ignition switch LOL. Looks so much better with the stance not all weird and the purple tint scraped off. Nice job as usual bro, and thanks again for sharing! Can't wait to see this beast all dialed in!👍😁💪 P.S. Bass Dumpster and or Trash Liner shirts would be F'N AWESOME!!!!😎
I have watched many NNKH videos now, and I must say I am very impressed by Chris's knowledge and skills and likability, and not to mention the great chemistry with Jen. God bless this couple. I believe they deserve to have their own syndicated TV show. Thanks a lot for the beautiful work you do.
Nice work , looks good ,those ladder/traction bars are the right ones for a coil spring car you just need to lower them some more about a 1.5-2.5” below the frame so when you car in under weight it won’t touch the frame so that when your driving it feels normal not stiff in the rear but then when you punch it it’ll bring the rear down enough to work properly so not to hop anymore,hope that helps
Looking forward to part 3, 4, & 5. The 71 Chevelle is my all time favorite car. The only reason I watched the movie Joy Ride 2 was because of the 71 that's in it.
Great progress with the Chevelle, really glad I found your channel a while back… keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see how she comes out. Hope thing work out with the sponsor and they send you a few goodies.
5/16-16 is sooo common, Ive never even seen one. Now 5/16-18, seen lots of those! If you've got to make a trip to town anyway, just get 4 studs for it.
@@jackrickells3979there's a few new videos on this car in the last few weeks. Chris has the guy from _Anything Goes Garage_ (RU-vid) doing all sorts of stuff to this car. He's really digging in deep! They're both taking this car a little further than any of us probably expected, and that's a really good thing. Love this car!! ❤⚙️🔥
The rear shocks do not go in that upper hole, that hole was never there from the factory, it was added because with those springs the shocks fully extended wouldn't reach the hole at the bottom of the bracket they are supposed to be in.
I learned to drive in a 4 dr 1972 chevelle malibu that was the green color yours was before the red was put on. Ours had bench seats in the front. Seeing this has brought back a lot of memories. Thanks.😊
10:21 There's a hole in your rear shock from this angle. Great car and videos!! I LOVE it! I guess some folks like that generation of Camaro Steering wheel but it's never been my cup of tea. It feels too rubbery or just not strong or solid to me. Plus it feels sticky too. IMHO.
Hi from uk chris👋 nice to see your fury shirts did well for channel and thanks to the supporters who own them 👍👍 chevelle coming on great now looks 😍 with love and effort these gems just sit and wait for saviours to be theirs lol cant wait for new interior and cant wait to hear engine after peak engine bits and bobs, be unreal for her 👍👍 thanks for your time time especially in cold and snow lol be safe and see you soon👍👋
Greetings Chris, been waiting for the part 2 and you never disappoint with your videos..always educational and fun and a pleasure and honor to watch you work..keep it up man...thanks Jeff..👍🤙🤘
My 69 GTO Convertible had a B&M Slapstick on a TurboHydramatic 400 with a Shift Kit! 400CI, Holley 650 Spread bore on a Street Dominator intake with Accell Dual Point Off Road Distributor and Hooker-Tuned Headers. It was the first car I ever bought, sitting under a HUGE Ficus for years, in 1977 for $700, needing most of the Love you give to these Special Rides! It was All Original when I got it and became also my 1st Intro to Mechanics. Learned a lot quickly. Unfortunately I fixed it too nicely and it got stolen. Twice. Never saw it after 2nd time... Keep up the Great Work/Videos!!!
Nice project. FYI; the dash appears to be out of a Monte Carlo. I had a 71 el Camino back in the 90’s. I swapped the SS hood as well as the dash out of a 70 chevelle SS that had a tach. I later wrecked it and smashed the SS dash. I pulled the gauges out and threw the rest away. I later came across a Monte Carlo in a wrecking yard. It had the same fake wood grain as the one in this car, also with a clock instead of tach. I swapped my SS gauges into it and spray painted the wood grain semi gloss black. IIRC the SS dash had a separate “fasten seatbelts” light that the Monte Carlo dash didn’t. The dash pad was the same for all of the dashes I used.
I'm a old school noncertified , economically challenged back yarder that's done a few engines and Harleys. Inspired and learned more by your videos. Thanks young man.
in 1983 bought a 1971 Malibu red with a white top and black interior 88,000 miles but it wasn't a super Sport 500 bucks cash was a lot of money then keep up the good work the Chevelles are a lot of fun to work on great car
looks a million percent better, what a mess he had the back end on that in, slapper bars were just for show i think could see no particle reason for them, its gonna be a sweet ride when you have sorted it out sir great work
You're one of the best car channels in all of RU-vid. The only things you don't know seem to be simply because you're not old enough to have dealt with the issues in the past.
Bad ass chevelle man, just bought a 72 last weekend, not quite as good of shape as yours but little metal repair and ls swap and it'll get there. Thanks for tge video
I love seeing cars like this at junkyards Someone’s ride. All the little things they did to make em look fast and be fast Just awesome Love the 80s style look it’s got to it. I think of hair metal and rubber burning watching this car
