I'm feeling the 80's training montage music!

sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any assistance you can give me!

@raphaelali218 3 года назад

@Evan Idris Instablaster :)

@evanidris5786 3 года назад

@Raphael Ali Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@evanidris5786 3 года назад

@Raphael Ali it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out!

@raphaelali218 3 года назад

@Evan Idris No problem =)

@jimcabezola3051 3 года назад

Never watched a battery tray being removed and replaced before! Thanks for this tutorial.

@scottcunningham5065 4 месяца назад

Brilliant work. The prep is everything as we all know...but sometimes we can get a wee bit lazy fantazy. Retored my faith in rattle cans and the work needed in prep.

@calestevens5064 2 года назад

Hey brother! I'm a Ford Foxbody Mustang guy... but I always love seeing the extreme similarities of the GM F-body. That engine bay came out beautiful and I love that factory color. Keep up the great work! Great to see American history kept alive (even with a little modification, lol). Thanks again!

@carlsaporiti3518 9 месяцев назад

Outstanding result Matt! It's all about the prep....KUDOs for your perservence!

@Miggy0089 3 года назад

Been looking forward to this for a month! lol THis videos are amazing it will help me build my iroc z at some point :D

@jwhittredge 3 года назад

I thought I blacked out and wrote your comment here as I also have an IROC I'm rebuilding, and needing to do this. And, been waiting a month! Hah ha!!! Let's do this, Matt! Can't wait to see the video!!!

@tcouty 3 года назад

Same here 😅 have a blue 86 I’m wanting to get started on next month

@tcouty 3 года назад

Great production of the video man. Sweeping shots, music and fade outs. End results look fantastic. Can’t wait to see the rest of the series

@motorola12slvr 3 года назад

I have not even seen it and I’m exited 😅

@aroliver10 6 месяцев назад

I’ve been doing this type of stuff for so long and never finishing the job because rattle cans aren’t going to give good results painters tell say. This is inspirational I must say. I’m in the middle of a ls swap on a Camaro and I was going to half ass the engine bay because I didn’t want to pay someone to spray it. Rattle can it will be!!!!

@robertappleyard7053 3 года назад

I had to re watch the episode on my phone to grab some pictures, thanks for the video / reference material!

@Kyle7K 2 года назад

Glad I found this channel. I'm buying back an 87 trans am I owned in high school, from 93 til 99. It's ROUGH. I have decent paint and body experience but minimal mechanical experience. I want to restore it to what it was when I owned it and beyond, including a LS swap (have someone lined up for this, way beyond me). I have a feeling if I do this project, this channel will be most valuable!

@everyday80sdude86 3 года назад

From a Ford guy, Thank You! You have given me the confidence to start doing more painting on my own. Like your T/A.

@jse684747 10 месяцев назад

Absolutely amazing! loved this video. was thinking of doing this to my car and now i know what it takes and it is possible in a regular guys garage.

@moldingpro7208 3 года назад

Excellent video Matt! Worth waiting for!

@justynporter5721 2 года назад

I'm supposed to be inheriting my family's 89 but this is probably my favorite channel cause I got a 02 chevy too so this channel covers everything I need love the content bro

i love these longer formatted videos showing the process with a how-to with it as well.

@reddragon6613 3 года назад

This is a clinic on how to do this right, really like the step by step.

@deloreanman14 3 года назад

Well done, sir! From what I've seen of how most car companies paint engine bays from the factory, it's unlikely that even looked that good when it was new.

@davebarron5939 3 года назад

WOW! Came out great. Now I can see why you went ahead and pulled the front bumper cover and associated. Only way to do it right.

@aaronzawadski4496 3 года назад

Awesome Matt! I've been thinking about replacing that insulation behind the dash. Wasn't looking forward to it. Thank you for the great info. Looking forward to this build!

@dieterich6533 3 года назад

Excellent content once again, dense with material. Love the music; it suits the video so well. Worth the wait. Long video yet felt short, so I was immersed the entire time; could have went on for two hours and left me wanting more.

@rjherman2011 3 года назад

Kick ass Trans Am. Our build are similar - yours is just that much cleaner and better done than mine.

@YoJefe 2 года назад

I had the same issue with mouse damage on my '87 IROC and I'm so glad I pulled the dash.

@JamesBond-yw3dj 3 года назад

Super cool video. I am working on a 82 Trans Am myself and have to do the exact thing - paint the engine bay and replace the battery tray as well. I already bought the tray but have not installed it. It was good to see you do it so I can get an idea. Great work and keep the videos coming. 👍

@LTJohn 3 года назад

The engine bay looks like it did from the factory. Absolutely awesome job with it!! I definitely think you wouldn't have any problems doing the outside body and painting with how you've done the engine bay!! 😎👍

@carlferguson3316 3 года назад

Another awesome video, I'm very happy with it being a long one as well. Can't wait for the next one!

@larrydeaton5452 3 года назад

It looks great Matt! It will really look good when you raise the hood to show off that LS engine.

@jesusvasquez3293 3 года назад

These people disliking these video need to get a life. I love the attention to detail. Great work but and great editing. Im in the process of painting my engine bay. I was gonna go rattle can but decided to go with urathane based.

@robertorecchia7219 3 года назад

wow Matt great job. this was so satisfying to watch!

@dpf1g2fw 3 года назад

In this episode of How It’s Made... 1986 Pontiac Trans Am. Much love to the Firechicken. Looking sharp Matt.

@Chefboiali. 10 месяцев назад

Awesome video! You taught me a lot about primer. I didn't know about the filler primer and for sure will be using that. They even had it in red which will help my color scheme. Thanks again!

@m1a1hm 3 года назад

AWESOME work !! Dude it was worth the wait . As some one who lived through the 80's the music was a great touch it made me feel like i was watching a 80's video. Can't wait for the next update.

@IROCZman15 3 года назад

Looks good man. Good job ! I know the effort that it takes to do this exact project. This was me last January. Sanding, filling holes, removing everything, primer, paint, what a process.... but the results are well worth it. Good job

@CarguyEd5150 3 года назад

It was relaxing watching this transformation of the engine bay and job well done! I love the attention to detail and have done similar projects like this in my past, but never to this degree or quality. Well done!

@reid1boys 3 года назад

I have such respect for the work and attention to detail you do in these videos. Well, I saw in one of your videos, you arent married, so now it makes a little sense. The amount of time you must spend on 3 vehicles is impressive. I gradated HS in 1988, so you are working on 2 of the hottest cars of my HS years. Great job... you motivated me to get my ass out and clean the engine bay on my Suburban today. Looks great, though the wife, who is now working from home was not happy with the noise from my pressure washer...lol like I said, you arent married:)

@imprecise4026 3 года назад

A much anticipated upload, Thank you Matt

@jasonmoore632 Год назад

Looks awesome great work!!! You are inspiring me to do this to my 85 TA I’m restoring. My engine is out.

@marcusmaddenov2451 3 года назад

Excellent job Matt 👏 👍 the prep pays off in the paint and your hard work really shows!

@BlueOceanFilms 3 года назад

This! This right here is why i subscribed to you awhile back. Thanks for the info and all. Be awesome to see you get your own show on motortrend one day . Thanks again. Making me want to work on my 87 TA even more.

@Mr.Noisewater 3 года назад

Always love watching your videos. Iv got an 89 RS which I'm daily driving right now. Great motivation to wanna get out there and start doing little things here and there with it. But once I get another vehicle I'm definitely restoring it. Great content man keep it up.

@vcdrny 3 года назад

The music is so appropriate for the car. 80s all the way

@florianreinhart6438 3 года назад

Man I had this same car but a 1989 same color only had 420000 miles on it when I got rid of it watching these videos is makin me want it back I do have a nice 8x10 picture of it hanging in the garage tho Lol that engine bay came out beautiful for rattle can I’m a amazed

@ICONBADGTA 3 года назад

Looking good Matt! I disagree with the black cowl, i would have went blue and black on the moulding/screen for wipers, but hey.. Be sure to paint ya wiper arms also and re-spray the grille between them!

@BryanSatterfield 3 года назад

Hell yeah Matt looks great. I’ll be starting on my 85 TransAm in the next few weeks.

@joshuavera4547 3 года назад

I read in a forum you can use the brake booster and master cylinder from a ls1 4th gen. I think its a direct fit you would just have to make new brake lines. Please make a video on this!

@lsxmatt 3 года назад

Thats what I’m using and already have the parts👍

@danconlan8735 3 года назад

Another great one Matt, the engine bay turned out really nice. Looking forward to the next ones! Thanks for sharing, DC

@Legodarthbrick 3 года назад

Nice job man, I’m on the same step with my 86 T/A. Been following your videos like guidelines. Can’t wait to see the wiring video soon I know I’m going to need it.

@astics9567 3 года назад

Awesome video! I was thinking that it would be cool if you could do a cost break down at the end of the swap.

@crisibarra6850 3 года назад

@mikekemp9776 Год назад

Awesome step by step video instructions. Thanks

@jameshall4385 3 года назад

It looks amazing. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth over doing. Nice job

@tonyr9235 3 года назад

Impressive job. Growing up these cars were everywhere, not anymore. I've parted out a few of them. I remember the 1st time I dropped the dash in my Formula(an 89)how daunting it seemed. These cars are actually pretty easy to work once you start doing it. Wish I still had mine. Did the TA come with a nice dash pad already? I thought you had an overlay in there too. Can't wait to see this baby running!👍🏻👍🏻

@bikerbrego 3 года назад

@Sandhill1988 2 года назад

Absolutely great job that looks outstanding!

@BackPainGarage 3 года назад

Nice work. Been looking forward to this video to see how you decided to go about painting the bay. You did yours almost identically to how i did mine about two months ago, except i chose not to go with the automotive touch up brand, and went with the duplicolor perfect match touch up(7 cans of color, one can of clear). Looks like we pretty much got the same result. Originally i wanted to copy what Tibo on TGO did to his bay, but holy hell that level of clean requires a serious patience for body work that I'll never have lmao

@tedwood273 3 года назад

Great job Matt. I always enjoy watching your videos.

@tomgray7049 2 года назад

This was awesome. I honestly though for a few that you were going to make this a KITT car. That blue looks very good. Nice to see this video

@GoGoGarage 2 года назад

Looks good, like the satin black.

@tastymm9874 2 года назад

Keep in mind you want your first coat to be extremely light, and each coat gradually gets thicker, for best results. No hate, I just doubt that paint is going to last very long.

@laiky71 3 года назад

Really great video Matt! now i want to pull my motor and paint! I'm amazed at how thorough of a job you are doing! really great. The only thing I want to say is that POR (in my experience) is not nearly as good as advertised. It will come off and usually is sheets. I'm sorry i used it.

@lsxmatt 3 года назад

Thanks, I had good results on my camaro. I used it to fill some heavy rust pits on the rocker then coat in bondo. Its been good for years so far, but I did notice as I was sanding the engine bay here that it would flake off really easy on anything that wasnt rust.

@davidandlaurie1 3 года назад

Ty for this video. I wasn't planning on doing my engine bay for my 59 Elcomeno. But you've convinced me to do so. I will be going throw all ur steps ty again. Iv subscribed an will be watching

@gaspeddler839 3 года назад

Inspired me to redo the cowl panel, screen and wiper arms on my Ls swapped 85. Followed your lead and purchased the same products, came out great. Perhaps a video on engine bay wiring management would be on your list. Ideas to hide some of those damn wires. Thank you

@MUSCLECREWDave 3 года назад

Great work man! I always go overboard with the paint! Sucks that they made the battery tray weld in for those. My 2nd gen is a bolt in, in and out with just 4 bolts

@Wolfman_3344 3 года назад

I’m loving the video as always. Highly detailed. I love it

@ScottsFormula350TPI 3 года назад

@Chopski64 Год назад

I can't weld so I used 3M panel bond instead. That stuff is great if you are not in a structural area and don't need to weld.

@hotrodhendrix1 3 года назад

Warning to those who use por15. Must go on pitted metal or etched metal. Will not stick to anything smooth. It will go on and chip off little later. Good stuff but the surface prep is mandatory (like anything else)
