I was at a cruise night years ago. Had the rear sump like your Camaro was not a pretty thing. He was backing into a spot and one of those cement blocks caught the line and that was it. Ripped it right out I would really look into a different style tank that didn't hang so low other than that car is beautiful. Can't wait for more content and and the best part of the video was your father lol. I never seen that guy laugh like that. You could tell he was very excited and happy. I'd like to see more of that

What a fantastic, 67❤❤! When I was six years old, my father was a Chevy dealer, a white, 1967 Camaro with the 327 in the four-speed. White with black racing stripes came into the show room. I was instantly in love, I polish that car every day I was at the garage. You are one lucky man to have two.

Hands down, and its not even close, that is the coolest car by my standards that you have ever had on your channel. I have seen your Dad on here many times but boy he just lit up when he got behind the wheel of this thing. I have never seen him that animated and joyful before. Love the way the car is finished and the sound is amazing. So glad this thing doesn't have slicks on it or crazy hood scoops, its perfect just as it is. Enjoy it!

That's a gorgeous car. Very nicely done. There's only one thing I would change on the car, and that's the pedals. I really like that he kept the interior stock looking, but the pedals look a little out of place, but that's just my opinion. The 67's have always been my favorite.

@edpoell2876 7 ай бұрын

Very nice Camaro JR and now the trick is to make it even better, the beauty of restomods are that each owner improves the car to keep it current with the best of the best components. They never get old they just keep getting better which is why they take the show prize every time.

@P-J-W-777 7 ай бұрын

Throw some Q-logic kick panels and add some DD components in those and a sub or 2 in the trunk and you shouldn’t have a problem hearing the radio anymore. Bet that thing is an absolute torque monster being NA. It’d be fun with a supercharger sitting under the hood. Absolutely beautiful though.

Awesome seeing that grin on JR Senior's face!!! Hope to see some videos of JR Jr cutting out/replacing rusty floor pans, trunk pan, how to cut a rusty fender/quarter at that body line and weld in new steel. As much as I love a sleek black car, I hope JR paints his one of those cool oddball but correct 1967 colors. Something like Mountain Green metallic, Emarald Turquoise, Granada gold, tahoe turquois, something you don't see at the car shows. Cortez silver isn't a correct color for a 1967 but damn does it look bitching.

The cowl tag will tell you if it is a real SS, and also if you loosen the rear bolts on the hood hinges that bolt to the fenders, you can lift up the hood and tighten the bolts to get the gap better when you shut the hood. 67's are the best with the vent windows, free AC!

The 67 1/2 Camero is my favorite Camero with the rectangular taillights that reminds me of the '67 Impala station wagon with the 327 and Rochester 4 barrel carb my dad bought,it being one year old when he obtained it. It had rectangular tailights as well

I own an all original numbers matching 67 RS convertible. It's marina blue with a white top. I really think you need to put the RS chrome back on, around the wheel wells, rocker panels, etc. Cars from the 60's on back were/are known for their chrome.

Those hide away headlights have relays that mount under the left fender. Mine has always worked, but I did find the schematic for them. If it's a real ss car it should have a 12 bolt rear end with a link on the right axle tube that goes to the body.

Lap belts , locking the door was a safety feature in 67 like the collapsing 😊steering column. I’ve had a 67 RS convertible since 1983. If it was me my friend, I’d put a drive shaft safety loop on the BB car and a skid plate to cover the fuel bung. I’ve been backwards on the highway at 60 mph in the rain , I talked to god that day ,, he said not today. Thanks for the video

Easiest way to tell if you've got a super sport is to look for trim tag you'll either have the letter P which is a SS 350, the K which is a 375 hp 396 or the letter N, which is a 325 hp 396. If it has the letter L it's a Z 28. it will be the bottom line of characters in the right hand corner. You're looking for the very first character. That will tell you what the car was if my memory serves me correct.
