Dude, I passed on so many of those late 70s cameros growing up. If I had only known they used the same body as the early RS...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Z28's were cool, and even the Smokey Trans Am was cool, but my favorite year for Camero or Firebird is 1960, Just because I'm a child of the 60's being born in 1960, I got to see all the coolest cars to come out. And my favorite Pontiac is 1969 Judge, or Dean Jefferies Monkee Mobile GTO. man these are all bringing back the memories! Thanks for all the great shows over the years. Us gearheads really appreciate your talent dedication and hard work!

I remember watching this show when I was really young. I'm glad to have found it again! P.S. Your show is what made me a car guy, thank you for that :)

I love the '78- '81 Camaro body style and I love the older ones as well. I had a 1979 Z28 and that would corner like it was on rails

Forget new parts, all you need is a Lynard Skynard tape and a mullet...project done.

Ohhhh so this is why everyone has been calling us for these kits! Keep it coming!

Am i the only one who prefer the late bumpers over the early ones ?

Full episodes on here now, that's awesome.

Awesome transformation!!

This was my idea for a long time regarding the nose and tail change with t tops. Except use the RS lights on a '73 SS nose, and use the lower lights as an air intake for the front brakes.

I gotta say! We really took alotta those parts for granted! Thought those cars and parts were gonna be around for ever! Lol!

Love how it starts out, just the nose and rear are different then you need fenders and everything else lol.

Man, wish I had my 70 1/2 RS still, sold it in the early 90's for $2000. When I had it the parts for the nose were really $ and at the time I had rust starting in mine. Also picked up a original 4spd as mine was conv to auto but couldn't get the clutch linkage like you can today so it went with the car.

Man, I like those Cornwell wratchets!!! Just what I have been looking for! My vehicle is not a hot rod or a truck, It is what I could afford at the time & man have I paid for it!!! Every single part has failed & I have wrenched my butt off on this little passenger car & really don't have much to show for it except a 03 focus that is still on the road! That is all that matters in the end, Getting from point A to point B & back to point A, ensuring that it makes it there & back safely! I need a rwd vehicle to modify! I am so sick of fwd & 4 cylinder junk!!!!!!!!

That conversion is very neat so it looks like a 1970- 73 model Camaro and Firebird from a 1974-81 model

For 125 bucks I would definitely buy that radiator support because the battery's of the day loved to leak acid on the lower bolt that connects to the subframe also the rubbers just wear out over the years because of rust which every gearhead knows rust sucks . One thing I didn't know was from the cowl forward was the same from 70 to 81 but did know it was the same on firebirds and Trans am go figure. F body's but know I'm thinking about the a body from 68 to 72 haha 😄 this is getting crazy 🤪 I do know that Pontiacs from 70 to 72 were the same from the cowl back even the rear bumpers were the same with other general motors f and a bodies only difference in 68 to 69 was in 69 they had no vent windows. General motors saved a lot in tooling going all the way back to the fifties frames doors hell tri fives roofs deck lids doors two year's same dashes. I could write a whole book on matching parts 😩 OK one more then I got to stop the. V. W. Bug ha ha gotcha

Seeing this has given me expensive ideas for my build. I have a 79 Firebird that I want to convert to a 70. After some investigation it seems the 70-73 fenders are the same as the 77-81! Thanks for the explosion of my wallet Stacy! :)

I have a 80, T top trans am that I’m gonna start restoring soon. Considering doing a swap of a 70-73 T/A front on it. That’d be cool.

Do they sell a conversion piece for the rear window to make it non-wrap around?

Thank you for this video! What about rear 78 to 70 conversion ?

Wow that is pretty badass

I use automotive touch up website to look up paint code. Say I see a blue on 1984 corvette. I google 1984 corvette touch up paint. Their website has colors available that year. Good for picking custom color you see on newer car.

It should only be 3 more years until this thing is finished.

*I have a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro Rally Sport!*

That added hood bumper on the quick tip section is actualy an alarm hood pin switch.

is there a part number for this kit on classic industries?

Good show

I did that same thing you are doing about 12 years ago.

*The good ole days when tv was worth watching. wondering what staceys up to nowadays* Dexterous X

Thank you thank you thank you for pulling those pieces of sheet metal off the rear glass. Those looked like ass hahaha

How do I see this whole build series cant find all of it on KZfaq!!

Please finish this car, we've been waiting quite some time since the fabrication began The bodywork ideas are very cool, I even thought about mimicking them for the '79 Z that I'm building, just cannot do it with my budget!

How would I get a hold of the parts list you used on this project ?

Is this a different shop?

He said it was a kit but I can not locate the kit or conversion for this application

Got my 80 z28 and hoping to get it restored

Now i'm just waiting for Danchuk to sponsor a complete catalog Tri five chevy build using nothing but their replacement parts.

What’s that website with all the resto kits

still got that hood latch i need it lol

I love this gen of camaro and hes changing it 😭

I'm a big car guy and I never realized that from the front doors back it a 67 Camaro body..I think the mid 70s Camaros were ugly but now I can see the 67 coming threw ..

I had a 74 in high school.

Breaks my poptart that they couldn't stamp out a steel nose.

It's crazy how expensive the 74-77 "big bumper" stock front bumpers have gotten. Hard to find also. One piece I wish classic industries had. I'd like to have oem sheet metal for my front end. My inner/outer fenders, bumper, and hood are all fiberglass. Quality of the fiberglass outer fenders aren't so great.

Yeah what about the tail end? I haven’t seen the episode where that was worked on. Did I miss it?

I had a red and black 75 camaro that had real front and rear bumpers .

What’s the price point for everything shown? Core support, body panels, hardware, etc.?

everything is bolt ojn. but fist thing we order is weld on parts lol.

did stacey ever finish this build?

I had a 81 z28 Lingenfelter built car. I was young and stupid for letting it go.

Im so doing this !!!

Fender through 77 will work

my 3 picks would be chevy camaro dodge charger and ford mustang

Where can I get a front conversions kit for my 1979 camaro

I should do a what are you workin on for my dad’s 800 hp street 57 belair he’s built and we have like 5 projects

Gene Simmons called Stacey David and wants his hairstyle back

8:48 Words to live by..

In other words: You don't have to swap out the core support, but it'd be a lot easier to swap it out than modify your existing core support

6:47 he is in rage to get the bumper off

Imfender clip nuts twist off

Are you going to put together a parts list for swap?

L-88 hood looks best on 70-73 Camaros.

Always admire his work and the others out there......but there budget seams to be unlimited.....wish there was a show for the average budget person...or more of a how to show versus high budget

How easy will it be to rebuild a trans am that I've have gutt it out..

Where can someone get a 70's head rug like you're sporting?

What u gonna do with the rear

Nice Tahoe, I'm glad you didn't slam it to the ground like a gangster wannabe

I have 3 c10s an 83 camaro. A 83 firebird and a 77 vette. How much do i make the check out for to work on my toys. For the show or not i am fine either way. Wanna help me replica kitt from knight rider? Or wide flare and wheel a 77 vette? Or strip and cage and paint a 83 camaro to look like a 80s trans am racer? Or pre Runner a c10? Or lift a crew c30 as high as we can?

If said is the case then it would or should not be an issue to build a Bandit T/A using said body

Never wrecked? That nose looks to have been replaced, even if they claim it warped but my main issue is that I like the 74-81 Camaro! In fact I had a realy cool red '79 Z 28 with a 73 sbc 400 out of a 73 caprice wagon. Bored 30 over with a lot of goodies! Amber light weight pistons, they balanced the internals, polished the crank, roller rockers, milled the heads 202/160 if I remember correctly, 4 core radiator, edelbrock performer intake, holly 750 double pumper, TH400 with shift kit, manual valve body ,stall converter, B&M mega shifter, 373 gears. Headers, 2 1/2 exhaust with duel flow masters! However, cool parts, powerful engine & all! It ended up ripping the T tops that's why I sold it ,well one of the reasons! G bought subframe connectors but had already twisted it! I later got a 78 trans am. But I drove this car from 19 to about 27! Loads of great memories! It was a really fast car in its time! It's no hellcat but those small block 400's from the early 70'S can make cheap power I would love to build a turbo version but like any traditional V 8, it's life span comes down to that small cam! It's one of many reasons why you gota love the L.S ! Even still I would love to see a turbo 406 even still! I got a IQ fo at deal on this car but this '99 money $3400

What is the other show is he talking about that hrs going to show us how to convert the rear to the early 70s

ill just buy an ealry 70’s camaro call it a day cool video

Hello Stacey I'm the orginal owner for the 1981 Z-28 you bought from Mike Hennis in Tennessee. Was wondering if your done with it and is it for sale. love to buy it back? Thanks Don Tokunaga

Did you ever finished it?

30 to 40 Years ago a 1969 camaro was a worthless too , time changes , generations change ,

When did Gene Simmons start doing car shows?

project wasent finished ys left us hangin bro. what about the rear

I am confused. This whole episode cold have been 5 mins and him saying "A 70-73 dog house will bolt onto on an 81 Camaro"

Can I do a front end conversion from a 80 on an 82 model ?

"Bitchin' Camero."

I had a bright blue hard top Z28 in high school that I bought from a buddy of mine. Him and his dad built it for racing and at 55mph the front tires came off the ground. My parents caught me racing my step brother and sold it and bought me an old farm truck which 2 months later traded for a '78 El Camino SS. LMAO. I have a '81 Silverado that I'm in the process of restoring and having trouble finding a replacement bed here in Houston. I bought the truck in my hometown of Lubbock where they're a dime a dozen. Anybody out there have any idea where I can locate a long bed with dual tanks and a tailgate give me a holler.

No no noooo

Everyone wants the first generation not this generation thats why the first generation demands so much more money than the second generation

all this money just buy the year u want there a dime a dozen i have a few of these and older ones did not pay more then 300 for each one some i got for free most are z28 and rs

first

They never seem to tell us the cost of everything ,

I can’t believe anyone would pay $2500 for that POS lol

Keep it a 81

22 minutes long, 20 minutes of advertisements ...

Split bumper suck

All you people are gonna drive up the prices for the "undesirable" years cause you all want your precious split bumper for cheap. Next thing you know kids will only be able to afford gross 3rd gen camaros to restore.

A big EXPENSIVE buffet. Screw this guy, if you want an earlier model, just buy one.

BUT IT'S A CAMARO...............

I dont get why morons do this.....

Did you ever finish this one?

When will you Finnish it
