I am really loving this channel, no clickbait, no exaggerated titles and some clean ass builds, keep doing what you’re doing man!!

Man these vids are aesthetically pleasing, informative, and fun to watch! No bs, no childish stuff, and no clickbait or rambling on about stuff that doesn’t have anything to do with the vid, just pure informative content. This man is awesome and I can’t wait to see this channel blow up cause he deserves it🙏🏽🔥

I like guys like you, You remind me of guys like me. I restored a 1969 Z28 with my best friend. He had been looking for a Z for months. One day while driving our way to Austin from Killeen he spotted the roof of a camaro next to what looked like a warehouse, which turned out to be a barn. We turned back to take a look and it was a 69 Z28, all original. It had been rolled in a drag race, the original motor was in the trunk. We made an offer he accepted, and we were off to the restoration. We had to replace the roof, hood and both rear fenders, all parts we were able to purchase off of car magazines at the time (1978). It took us 2 years of working on weekends and holidays. I taught myself how to weld and he did most of the mechanic work while I assisted. I haven't seen him in years (I moved away). I hear he still drives it daily, red with white stripes. Then we resorted my 1969 427/390hp Corvette. I sold it years later. Then we restored my brothers 1971 Challenger 340 with 202 heads, Plum Purple...what a blast. I'm old now, but those are some of my most cherrished memories.

Looks like a fun project car. Be sure to thoroughly flush out the oil cooler, dry sump tank, and interconnecting oil lines, or your new engine will be toast as well.

Regardless of the issue, that’s one hell of a deal! Can’t wait to see you fix it up!

would love to hear your lifestory, as it pertains to cars and your mechanical aptitude....fav cars from your teen years..one thing i know..folks dig cars ..also of note, your subs are adding up..surely deserve so much more..but your day will come..peace

15k is a great price. Dump 15 into it and you got a running z06. Hell of a deal in this market 💯.

Gorgeous Z06. I want one in that spec so badly. You are living the dream man!

Can't wait to see this car get a second chance at life. I know doc Sullivan is going to stitch her up right!

LS7 valve issue is very real. It's like the guy who has a tiger as a pet and talks about how tame playful and friendly he is. The tiger is very friendly and playful, until he's not!

This was my buddies car. Think I was the first one to find that hole in the block at the track. Going to miss that car. Good to see it went to a good home. Following to see the restore progress.

Awesome project. Personally, I wouldnt do black wheels and black roof. My Z06 was V.yellow and I had factory competition grey wheels that looked great. Maybe a silver/grey paint? I think that would look clean and much better.

I would've definitely bought that Z06 for that price too. Looking forward to seeing the finished product once you put all of your touches on it. Happy travels!

Love the whole factory/O.E.M. approach! Keep the wheels and let the roof be red. You did the black thing already on the other Z06.😊

Yessss, love it. We all can relate to the excitement of those early morning trips to get a new ride.

Favorite content creator

Love your videos Chris, I am impressed at how knowledgeable you are about all aspects of car repair.

So second video I've watched and the dude washes the car & vacuums the carpet before undertaking anything more substantive. My kinda guy......would love to be neighbors with Chris. 👍

I drove by this car at the Glen when i was on break instructing my student ...... it sat in the "Field of Dreams" (crashed cars) ....assuming a few days after the incident happened. I was interested in it myself but Congrats on the purchase. Build it up and take it back to the Glen !

Anticipating the follow up video already 👍 Love your channel!

I own a 04 Bmw m3 6sp manual.13,000 miles on fresh engine, new vanos, clutch, diff bushings,axel boots,and seals.New guibo and cv joint on the drive shaft, stop tech rotors and brembro pads.Outer tie rods and and braided steel brake lines.The mods Dinan throttle bodies,cai,stage 4 tune,short shifter,h&r lower springs, rogue shock mounts,carbon kidneys,gills,rear defuser,pedals and brak ducts.The exhaust is a megan,the rims are Iforged 19x9.5 245-35 rear 19x12 275-30.Everything works on the car,back seats look new.With all I've spent I'd trade it for a C6 Zo6.

Your approach is methodical and organized. You do great work dude.

Not sure why this channel doesn’t have 300k subscribers. I can’t stop watching more and more of the videos!

so cool to see the C6 in depth. Im new to the muscle V8 crowd, but this vid is informative as well as entertaining. I'm all in!! Thank you and keep up the channel !!

This is my first Video I have watched of yours and enjoy it!! Subscribed to keep up with the Z06. I currently have a 11 Carbon Zo6 and 18 Carbon 65 GS and 19 2lt GS, so excited to watch.

Subscribed Chris. You seem very level headed and knowledgeable and I look forward to your rebuild of one of the great performance cars, the C6 Z06. I am in the stock is best camp but I prefer originality...especially if the plan is to flip the car....consider that if changing the wheel finish or wrapping the roof. PS. No telling why the motor grenaded. Previous owner could have run it out of oil which is common if an eye isn't kept on it running high RPM at the track, could have missed a shift etc. Will be real curious to see the status of the heads...how you pull the motor out with the torque tube etc. Best of luck

lol, the Dawn triggered me, glad you explained that you use it to strip wax and oils. I love your content. Going back and watching builds I have not seen.

Man it's completely off topic but holy *shit* your property is beautiful. The way the asphalt contrasts against the foliage is just beautiful

I don't understand why the hell you don't have a million subscribers... Been watching you for awhile you caught my eye working on the couple F - body Camaros you have had on the channel. Your video production is on point man .

Nice work, this will be a joy to follow along. The Black 5.3 turbo content was awesome as well. You did such a nice job on that monster and it was a great series. Hopefully someday I'll get there as well in the near future.

Man you have to be one of my favorite channels right now. I live in RI and currently have a '17 2ss Camaro but have been trying to find a c6 z06 or GS around the new England area for a while. if you find anymore steals up your way let me know!

Another Corvette and car from NH. That is awesome and enjoy your content. Good solid information without the hype or clickbait. I hope your channel continues to grow

I can't wait to get the c6z. I've been putting in work for a while now but life happens so I had major setback. you never know by the time you're done working on that car, I can be a potential customer. its my dream car and it would be nice buying it from someone that I follow on KZfaq and definitely consider your advices for cars.

I have watched this series several times and it never gets old love the content

"all the valves are still there" LOL LS7 convos are funny

As a z06 owner this is super interesting to watch. Liking the content!

Very cool . My favorite "accessible" car. In spain the z06 cost above 50.000€

Love the commentary about the valve guides

As a detailer, my head started to spin about mach 1 when I saw the bottle of Dawn, and then I remembered "Oh yeah, there is a ton of oil residue to strip off the paint, cool" lol. And please, PLEASE no black wheels!!!!! IF you are set on changing them and are getting them refinished, have them done hyper black, or what used to be known as black chrome.

2015 Z28 Camaro Ls7 427, bought it with 5k miles, put maybe 10k on it and started hearing valve noise. Now I have 60k and noise is way passed a issue, now it's parked and waiting for me removed the heads. I also have a 2009 Zo6 with 50k, removed heads very sloppy worn intake guides. The car has been waiting for a head change as well. Really interesting how a 2015 Z28 has same issues, didn't GM fix the problem??? Nope, but otherwise the cars are awesome but do require replacing guides which is minimal if you catch it before you lose a valve. On my Z28 I really enjoyed driving it and took a chance nothing would happen but now the noise is too loud and I'm not willing to drive it until I fix the heads. Hopefully that's the only issue. Congrats on your buy, that's a great deal! Look forward to your build!

Dang bro, we both have blacked out 17-19 F-250's and both love corvettes. If you we're in FL we'd be chillin all the time.

This is my first video I’ve got to see on your channel and I’m definitely a new subscriber!! Love the truth and the facts you kick out . Can’t wait to see which way you take this Beast !!! Will be glued to updates..

I've watched every episode of this build, and loved every minute of it. Subscribed for the next adventure. Thanks for the great content.

Haven't even watched the video, and instantly, you have a new sub, I read the comments first. I'm glad I did.

Just found your channel and so far I like it, I'm more of a Subaru guy but love cars in general.

subbed to watch the build. just got a c5, my 1st vette.

Never can go wrong with DAWN.. bro your 9-5 must pay you great man .. Blessing to have what you have my friend,keep it up

Algorithm brought me here. The forgetting the car in neutral made me laugh so hard i had to subscribe 😂😂. Solid content.

First time finding this channel! Anything related to Corvettes and I am sure to have it recommended. Corvettes are my dream car, and soon I will have one.

Slow down son! You're already the king!

Love the builds, the vision. Keep it up

I got an ad right when the car stared rolling 😂

Just the fact that you said the price makes you head and shoulders above other youtubers!

Subbed after 3 videos. About 10 in now and really enjoying the work he does

I just found this channel and I'm starting the z06 project from the beginning +1 sub

I own a 2007 Z06 velocity yellow 💛 with Texas speed heads and it fixed my problem 😎😎😎👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾 my car is Awesome 👌

Rad stuff brother. Yesterday bought my first 2010 black /black 34k always garaged and covered. Base but it’s as brand new. 💪🏼

Just discovered this channel. Great stuff. Im gonna hazard a guess and say some sort of oil starvation from sustained high g corners on track. Maybe a rod bearing let go, oil pump failed etc. Not uncommon in those conditions.

Awesome score! Fun project. Gonna be another badass ride. Not as good as the black one but......

That fact that you used dish soap instead of 25$car wash dish soap I have the utmost respect for you 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👍👍👍

What up chris keep the video coming .the content is great I still love the CTS one of my favorite you have done so far.

Very clean car other than the motor but I kno you will make it rite can’t wait to see it finished love all ur builds miss the cts v

I'm new to your channel. Enjoyed my video. The red C6 Z06 blown engine. I've never seen a piston utterly destroyed like that one.

Black roof and black wheels are a must! If you were just over the line into NY from CT, you were within 30 of me in NJ. I can’t wait to see the inside and what went wrong!! And thanks for answering the work question from last video!

Looking forward to the next chapter, thank you

When's that shine look much better than black. Especially on a Corvette. Great video. I am looking forward to seeing the rebuild. Keep up the good work.

Will watch with great interest. Been wrenching 50 yrs and hope to do one of these before I pass from this realm. Will want to see into the "window" when you get there! Looks so very sad in there

Love the channel brother 🏎💨Went right by my exit in Worcester !! keep up the great work 🤙

My man Filled that coffee ALL THE WAY UP ! Love the videos brother !

Favorite channel to watch hands down

5a.m. Yeti full of coffee - breakfast of champions

I bought a C6 Z06 on 5/5/06. Fun assed car! after two months I cammed it, long tubed and intake. Still miss it today. If I could find find an unmodded one today I'd buy it

can't wait to see more videos about your vettes good luck

Im from africa and I love watching rebuilds and mid vids so ill be watching this one

I'm having a garage built next week. I'd love to find a project car like this one. It'd give me something to do over the winter.

Z06 with some of the cheapest Sparcos. Makes no sense. They are not uncomfortable as everyone thinks. I have Sparco Grid Q in my Hellcat and they are light-years better than the factory lounge chairs. Also get brackets that allow a tilt and you will love it. The Sprint model is not what you want for sure. Maybe in a V6 Mustang or a Civic. Want to go all out get you some Tillet Carbon seats. Very nice

Happy I found your vids like a month ago..Dope shit man and it def looks better with the factory seats

Awesome find at a great price. new motor and hopefully you are all set! Should be an easy profit.

Build my c6 zo6 turbo kit, and I’ll give you my ls7 motor. I’ll take you the car too. No joke love your work. Maybe it’s worth it maybe it’s not. But let me know

I know the LS7 has issues but I still want one in my project.

You are a good person and a great mechanic

Keep up the great content, my favorite channel, you’re going to blow up soon for sure

Chris this is the first time I've ever seen you or your videos and I'm really liking it so far I think we'd get along fabulously. LOL seems like you're a no-nonsense tell it out how it is kind of guy I'd like to maybe rap with you someday I'm from Seattle Washington but I want to get a Z06 someday I don't know how soon but hopefully sooner than later anyways keep up the great work you have a new subscriber for sure I really like what you're doing more than likely will probably meet someday somewhere anyways take care.

i was always under the impression it was the guides. american heritage worked on these a lot back in the day with katech. they had success with refurbishing the stock ti intake and a hollow ferrera exhaust with bronze guides or those really high end F1 style guides but who knows 100% it's an aggressive valve angle with a very long valve coupled in a high rpm engine. other guys tried stainless valves all around but that requires a lot more spring pressure and lowers the redline all else equal. i think inspections every 10k would be the way i would go. pull a retainer or two with compressed air in the cylinder and see if you have any wiggle present. really doesn't take that long to do random inspections. doing 2 cylinders every 10k would work through all 16 guides every 40k

Subscribed.......Looking forward to the fix & finish!!!!!

Loving this channel, my kind of car guy. I’m possibly interested in that harness bar and seats. Not too far away in mass. Let me know what you want

Love all 3 // the Superduty, Zo6, and 🐶

Great content. Keep up the good work. Let me know if you dump the red one, I’ll take over

I say yeah for black wheels! Gonna be a cool build! Great video bro 👍🏻

Awesome video brotha.

The 427 is a 505hp very finely tuned engine. The tolerances are super close. It is designed and engineered for specific air flow all the way to 7000rpms. That is already fantastic! When you add high-performance parts to this engine, you change the math and stress levels of the engineering, and the components used to rev to 7000rpms. Cold-air intake? Not engineered for that. Headers? Not engineered for that. Titanium and stainless steel valves are light weight and strong, but require special valve guides. Brass valve guides and titanium valves are a bad match. Outside of 2006, when Chevrolet acknowledged they had a bunch of bad heads, from 2007-2013 that engine is fantastically dependable ***if*** you leave it stock. "Lean is mean' is also hot. Don't want to burn a hole in a piston, don't chip it. A 'tracked' 427 ZO6 almost certainly was modded. I have an LS3 2012 Grand Sport Centennial Edition convertible. Interesting channel as I am also building a 1969 Nova with an LS3 swap. I was more interested in your Camaro. LOL Peace

Black wheels and black roof will look amazing

That license plate: "HYBRID" 😂👍

Low profile mud terrain tires make me laugh.😂😂

I just realized you live nearby to me. That highway looks super familiar

I'm here from the future. The carnage was caused by a dropped exhaust valve. Complete disintigration of the piston was the result. Did the valve break off? It makes me wonder why he did not see the missing valve when he pulled the valve covers.

Chris 55 Studebaker SBC mouse 72 Chevelle 520 about 700 pump gas 1000 300 shot. 72 C20 402 4 speed. 98 Jeep TJ totally trick. Looking to get a LT4 version next year. Good luck with your LS7. You have a nice place to enjoy your hobby. But do me a favor and PLEASE move the stripes of our Flag on the right side when displaying it that way. Airborne Air Assault! Happy Holidays man. I think you should naturally aspirate as well. Stay safe!

Brotha you land on deals if the century. Can’t wait to see how this turns out.

Great video and car! Just subscribed! I didn't think when you loaded up the car in New York that you forgot to put it in gear or apply the E brake lol. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

This one should be good! Just like everything you do, Chris 🤙🏼
