Great car, love it when someone does their own thing with a build, these cars are artwork, freedom of expression. Think you'd like my '65 fastback Mustang, flared, low, wide, T-56 magnum, 408 stroker, wide tires front and rear. Glad to see the younger crowd having fun with classic American cars.

@@brickman6775 I think they go well with most Japanese imports, but otherwise they're awful and they ruin cars. This is especially so for classics, RWB porsches being one of the biggest offenders for me, I'm not even a porsche guy either. Still I much prefer molded in body panels or seperately made bodykits no matter which kind of car it is, as it looks far more natural and clean. If you're going to build a car from the ground up like this guy, do it right, don't bolt on plastic crap to stock panels and cut them up.

C3 has always been my favorite Vette, and your right when it comes to the whole experience leaving an electric wanting. There is nothing like the sound of a lumpy cam in a big block at idle and feeling the vibration as the motor lives and breaths and gets angry as you provide more fuel that you can smell form the cockpit. Feeling the torque from the bottom, the whole experience is more than the sum of the pieces. Vintage is never gonna go out of style!

Great advice Mr. Randall. I built my first SBC at 15 years old and never looked back. I have restored many over the past years and now teach young guys the tricks. The best advice you gave was "Just do it". You can't be afraid and many people share knowledge just based on the fact that the kid has the passion. My advice would be "Don't make your daily driver your project". You will be in for many let-downs if you do. Take your time, learn the process. Nice C3 by the way, never done one. Mostly F-Bodies.

@@HotAmericanCars Yes indeed sir, my 1st experience with comparing the virtues of a SBC to a BBC was in mechanic school in the mid 80s. Two other students had '69 Camaros(when they were just used old cars), one was a 383 stroker, the other a modded 427 transplant. Both were fast, but if the 383 stroker was like riding on a crazed bull, the BBC was a charging rhinoceros! The pit of your stomach just hits your spinal cord, I revere any large block big inch V-8!

2:43 *it's weird how I get an offended feeling when I hear someone say they don't like Corvettes. Especially the C3. Jay Leno uttered the same sentiment regarding the C3.* I'm actually a little Annoyed that a guy who isn't naturally a "Corvette Guy" has such a viciously delicious VeTTe..👁👁

68-73 are fantastic C3 vettes. 74-77 still a great look. 76 is the last one with the Stingray name. 78-82 have the boring hatch window but still a decent car. C3 went from 68-82

I like this young man! Seems like most of the younger folks today just mimic what they see. Little rice grinder prop cars from the Fast N Furious. (not putting down the Japanese stuff - there's just so much of it - and usually poorly done) U see a lot of 2 foot high wings and those annoying stingers they run. Seems to be the first thing they do is get a wing, noisy stinger, and a "hot" cold air intake. I don't have any kids...I'm 53now. Wish more youngsters would embrace the muscle car era. This kid was lucky that his dad had the means and interest in doing this with his son. Not saying this guy doesn't work hard, and it's clear that he subbed out a lot of the work. But he made it happen! His Vision...His Dream....His Hard Work. Not everyone can afford to drop the kind of coin it takes to build a car like this. But it doesn't mean he's spoiled. It takes more than luck to build a car like like this. Good for him. I liked and subbed.
