Yeah, keep the vids coming, it’s cool to see a wreck this bad being brought back to life.

Yes, they will be coming until the end. I can't wait to see the results.

It's a great feeling when you drill the last weld out and the gentle crack of them letting go is heard, that trunk panel shouldn't be put in until the whole shell is jig straight. I'd drill out the welds until I got to the undamaged panels and then slowly replace them. It's a challenge but who doesn't like to be proven right in the end? He'll make it good for sure.

Hi Mike, he just has the truck pan held in with vice grips at this point. He told me that he is going to use my blue Z to set measurements and secure the red car accordingly. I will be showing all of that in upcoming videos. Thanks Mike, I appreciate the input :)

Please keep the videos coming i really like your informative videos on the camaros as I am a camaro junki lol. I've owned 4 1st gens in my life so far and restored all of them. Of course not to factory specs as I am geared more towards the drag racing scene with The late Grumpy Jenkins being my all time hero in the early day of prostock drag racing with his famous camaros called Grumpy's toy. Also I've been told that I probably have the only cowl induction hood on a 69camaro that Grumpy Jenkins ever signed! So to me that's pretty special. Thank you for your time and videos.

Thanks Erb, I really appreciate your support. That is really cool about him signing your hood 😎 I would have it clear coated to preserve it

U gotta fix the fire wall and rocker so u can fit the door then do the 1/4 panel. Car should be on a jig to hold everything in place. And level. Use the good car to make the jig. Good luck.

Thanks Chris, they are going to use my Le Mans blue Z for measurements etc. The jig is a good idea, I will mention it to them.

are the spot welds like that from the factory? 3:46

@digitalpizza1 3 жыл бұрын

None of the spot welds have been paced yet, but they will be placed in exactly the same place and when finished, look exactly the same. 3:46 only shows him removing the lead to expose the factory welds so they can be drilled out to remove and replace the quarter panel.

Yes, Me too. But it is a slow precise process. I am hoping the pace will pick up now that they are on a roll at the body shop. Thanks for your support of the channel :)

@davedave2882 2 жыл бұрын

Just a curious question. The 69 Z28 is my favorite Camaro they ever made. But is the cost of this build going to be higher than the value of the car when finished?

@digitalpizza1 2 жыл бұрын

Actually no, I sold a restored bike and bought the car with the profit I made on the bike. So including what I paid for the car I will be in to it for about 53000.00 or 33000.00 out of pocket. So about half what it will be worth. Granted, I have and will do all the labor except for part of the paint and bodywork. By the way, that is on my blue Z, not this red crashed Z. This red Z will probably be in the ballpark of what it’s worth in the end

@@digitalpizza1 okay yeah I was talking about the red one.. but that blue is my favorite color on those cars especially with the white LeMans stripes.

im not a chevy fan ,, but is the car worth all the work ?

@digitalpizza1 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Charlie, it is for sure worth the work. The surviving numbers of matching number Zs are few and the values are going up all the time. So, if there is any hope for the car, its worth it. That is true for any brand of that golden era of muscle cars. Thanks for your comment and subscription, I really appreciate it :)

Did the car have a fight with a telephone pole or something kind of looks like you slid it in sideways into telephone pole

@Tom-ws1qz 3 жыл бұрын

why didn't he use structural steel supports to maintain the correct dimensions of the car.

@digitalpizza1 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Tom, the main reason is that car is so Tweaked that it needs to be straightened in every direction. They are using my LeMans Blue Z to get the dimensions and will probably attach supports as they progress.
