Want to see more please this is just wicked killer cool. I’ve talked about wanting to do this to my 79 T-top car for 3 years. And to actually see it done is well ignition for the fuel!!! I bought this car three years ago as a build for me and my grandson who is now four. We lost my son his father in a car accident three years back. I purchased this car with some of the insurance money I acquired because of the accident. This car was purchased to share the love of cars that my son and I had together and now me and my grandson share together. My little man loves going to car shows and taking Papa‘s Camaro out and going for rides. I’m just in the middle of collecting parts so that way when he’s old enough to really turn wrenches him and I are going to build his car together and this is the plan that I have for it so thank you for these four videos on doing this conversion. I know my son is smiling down on the both of us every time my little boy and I fire it up and tear up the rubber. Seeing this brings tears and excitement and thought of the fun lil man and I will have building this car!!!!!thank you Stacey!!!
But... But.... But, You actually have to drive those cars! No Anti lock brakes, no sensors to tell you if you're too close to something, no cameras, no GOS even! My Gosh! You mean I have to know where I'm going! People today don't have to learn how to not hit the brakes too hard on a wet road (I learned at 14, and in mom's ride! Never hurt mom's ride!), Or how power is control, (no traction control). It's just not as enjoyable to me as the old stuff. Most every car or trhck I've ever owned has been 60's. I still drive a 66 Beater Chevy Truck. I still have my 63 Bel Air. I do have a 96 Z71 and two 85 Trucks. Don't get me wrong, I could enjoy a new Challenger SRT. You can't get a 6 speed manual in a Hellcat. SRT is the Strongest one.
Why can't they show us the final result? The car is looking pretty good and I wish they would finish a project, instead of jumping around and leaving ones like this in limbo.
Sorry Stacy,...it looks good, but I'm afraid I would have to get the whole 71 rear fender, so I could go back to the 71 small rear window. Why go half way to one of the most beautiful body designs GM ever made?
@@vernhoke7730 The 74s are my favorites, they have the classic looking window with the mid bumpers which looks way better and mean than the first ones, would love to buy one of those as my first car
I enjoy watching this channel and this video, the Camaro upgrade is awesome. Last year I tuned into a channel, a muscle car dealership and on that particular day for sale was a 1971 Plymouth Duster. What?????? It's a Dodge Demon ! Now the dealer listed the vehicle as a Duster because, well car guys understand the legality of it. The 'idiotic'comments were a plenty and had me rolling. " this is a scam " one viewer protested. But how was this done I asked myself? I understand changing the grille and emblems was acedemic But how did a person put those Demon taillights on? Curious, I googled; Converting a Duster to a Demon. This was new to me at the time and the research revealed step by step images covering changing the tail lamp panel and it wasn't that difficult. I've seen these Camaros after the fact so this video puts it all into perspective. Thanks Stacey
I would want the small back glass so it looks factual. I'd rather fool people. So T Tops are probably out, but there's aftermarket ones, so you might slide. But a Roll bar would be needed to stiffen the chasey. They will twist with a lot of power.
I like the look of the larger rear glass window and the factory Fisher T Tops are pretty cool touch as well. If you install a good set of weld in subframe connecters, that will help with the body twist. I had a Ride Tech Tiger cage installed in my 77 TA and it really tied the chassis together.
This episode is about 5 years old at this point. If there's an update it's probably on Amazon Prime. Or it just never got finished like lot of their projects.
This was a promising build with a lot of great information, but I guess this is one of the projects that doesnt get revisited/finished. Too bad, was hoping to see this one completed. That one thing I don't like about these shows.
Do you think the bumper is still safe on these after the mod? There's nothing between the fuel tank and that thin 70-73 bumper. Is it the same braces to the correct spots on the body the new bumper brackets fit to?
@@UpperDarbyDetailing in my opinion. don't get me wrong, i understand the appeal of a split bumper and the popularity compared to the 81 front end. but i think it would've been unique to build it as is. or just buy a split bumper year car.
I love your shows but, you never finish them and you jump around. You had the CopperHead video that was 1 hour and 45 minutes long if not longer. It was start to finish the complete build. From the chassis to the finished product. Then you drove it. I loved that. I think we need more videos like that cause you explained and you built. You did it from start to finish. It was great. How ever most of your videos are short and you don’t finish them. I can’t tell you how many times I watched your videos and then I’d search all your videos to find the finish products and I can’t find them. It would be nice to see more videos. I’m not even sure you do these anymore but, I’d love to watch a full video front to back. Start to finish. You building a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 extended cab. One you can drive around town but, also drive it in the mountains and across small creeks.
I only know of maybe 5 or 6 projects he's actually finished. Right now if you go to the Playlist tab, hit "full builds" he has the completed monster Miata and the "Knucklebuster" OSB pick up.
I totally appreciate what you’re doing , I wish I was this good , but it would be so much easier to just buy a true split bumper car lol I would be so lost doing this conversion lol
