I had a 70 camero in the mid 80’s while in the Army. Yellow with black stripes. However it had the long turn signals under the split bumper. No bumper across the grill. I’ve got no clue if it was a base, RS, Z28. Sold it when my first child was born and I’ve regretted ever since.

Rick and Tommy passionately sculpt that Chevy like a piece of artwork. It’s a damn good looking hot rod.

That’s one of my favorite builds from all of PowerBlock.

So glad to see someone use a spray gun correctly. I'm 60 years old and as a teenager I attended a technical school for auto body in the mid 1970's. Trained to be a Combination Man, meaning body work and spray painting. Worked in the business for 40 years. I go so far back that there was no such animal as a Gravity Feed spray gun, only Suction Feed. Obviously, in the long run I used a Gravity Feed gun a lot longer. About the last 10 to 15 years of my career I witnessed some very poor spraying technics (...and body work.) performed by younger guys in the business. Most of them think it's a race. They move their spray gun so fast it's a blur! Not good! I wasn't taught to do that and never did. Since I'm on a rant, what's with NOT feathering back the old paint/primer on a repair? I guess now and the resent past it's the norm. I certainly hope they don't teach this in technical schools now. Running body filler all the way into the old unfeathered paint/primer. You got to be kidding! Your running the risk of solvents going into that unfeathered old paint/primer. Causing the old paint/primer to lift. It doesn't take that much more time to feather that old stuff out and keep the body filler clear of the old paint/primer.

Mark: I've got 21 years into Auto Body Repair and, in that time, I have only worked with 2 guys who could perform proper feather edging. Quality auto body work is really a dying art. Every shop just wants to ram through as many cars as they can. It's all about numbers and making money. Insurance companies have really turned the whole auto body industry into a complete circus. So I would say your comment is spot on. What year did you get away from body shop work?

@@fwh79FOXR6-- I started my apprenticeship at a Chevy dealer in the summer of 1977 after graduation at the age of 18. Working for that same dealership until 2017, 40 years. Tech school for me was- junior and senior years in high school, alternating back & forth one week shop time, one week classroom related auto body for three hours, plus high school English, Mathematics and PE. Speaking of featheredging, I recall my junior year. We were taught hand wet sand featheredging. We weren't allowed to use a DA for feathering until our senior year and that's ALL a DA was for, never to be used on body filler. In fact all sanding was done by hand that first year, including plastic filler. Funny, it still piss's me off when people call it Bondo. I'm always the first to correct them, lol. I agree with you about insurance companies, spot on!

@@RedXray-- Yep, you are correct sir. I still recall the day I went to the local auto body supply store right after graduation. Was to start at the dealership in one week. Bought a Binks #7 with a Binks Agit-cup and I can't remember what Binks it was, but picked-up a less expensive gun for primer. That Agit-cup was just the thing for metallic, kept in moving instead of settling to the bottom of the cup. Didn't have that in school and I remember our teacher telling us if your spraying metallic keep "shaking" and moving that cup in-between spraying. My #7 has been long since retired and hanging on the wall of my garage. The young guys laugh and wonder what the "old relic" is. My reply, just the best damn gun Binks made!, lol. Most don't even know the name Binks, sad. Yes, that Imron was great. In the winter months when guys would tear-down their motorcycles/choppers I'd do frame molding (plastic filler) and painting. I'd do all molding and priming in my garage and take everything to work on a Saturday to use their booth. Imron was the way to go, proved to be pretty tough on the frames. On the tanks and fenders it gave a damn good gloss with no wet sanding needed (I don't even know if you could wet sand catalyzed paint.) Back then nobody wet sanded acrylic enamel for gloss, only lacquer. Another thing that makes me an ol' timer. When I started, all cars from the manufacture were painted with lacquer and vans/pick-ups with acrylic enamel. I guess it could be worse, before "my time" they used alkyd enamel. Came-across a couple old cars in school that had that on them. It was a teaching moment. Great talking and reminiscing with you guys about the ol' days. Hopefully, more will show-up...

One hand can't stop this guy!

Fixing to repair and paint 71 el camino black with white racing stripes I've been painting 35 year's but I've done very few stripes your video really helped and the fine line tape to do the corners great tip I've never done that but I'll be using that idea thanks for the great video

My favorite year Camaro. Love the front end and rear look on the '70 Camaro. Especially the front split bumper.

Very nice job on the paint, congrats! That Camaro is getting so beautiful it hurts!

Not really a fan of Green in any shade, but due to the fact that it is the original color of the car, that is very cool and looks awesome!

That section of wheel refurbishment was EXCELLENT! Thank you!

They make a good point about assembling is like puzzle it's no different than assembling a bike.

wow .that is going to be a hot z28. nice paint job and stripes.

Awesome ride! I had to check this build out when I saw it. My buddy has the same car, in the same color too. She's an original 20k mile Z-28. So cool

Nicely done, thanks for sharing.

This thing is shaping up to be an awesome build. Love it. Nice work guys 🍻

The paint job that you guys have done looks amazing!!! Nice work!!

Stripes look killer!

Fantastic work gentlemen! That car looks 100% amazing!

Great job! love this build! Although I gotta say there is a lot of video magic happening here. Video makes it look easy, but there is a lot to what you've done here!! I've spent an exorbitant amount of time trying to get my gaps closed up on my build, aftermarket fenders, but still not close enough.

👏Amazing work guys!

Very nice restore. That's gonna be a badass car.

Nice work easy to follow for do it yourself. Thanks

That Camaro turned out great.🏆

Weren't the Camaro, Firebird, Mustang and similar sized cars with small blocks referred to as "pony" cars? Muscle cars were the GTO, Chevelles, Torino GTs with big blocks I thought? Thx. Gr8 build fellas.

It's a popular color today. Glad to see it. A color should NEVER be purple, or orange! ...virtually never anyway....

Sideburn Garage.

I love to own a car like this someday.. I owned a chevelle for 16 years and had to sell due to we needed a furnace and duct work for our home so our new baby boy would not get cold... Families happen. I sold it to a guy ...and his daughter inlaw cried for a month because she wanted to buy my car cause it was her favorite too.. Well he sold it to her and to add salt to my cuts ( because the car is gone ) he sold it to her and she lives behind me... So i get to see my chevelle in her garage.. If this doesn't suck ... Nothing does.. I dont like walking around the block now due to this new issue... But I'd do it all again because I love my son more.. Yes i miss my car but i wont admit it to my wife or friends.. Who knows if they believe me..

At 15:52 till end you can see the racing stripes have an inferior finish compared to the clear coat. We saw the stripes get sprayed down great so what happened? Humidity? Can you wet sand and polish a single stage just like you would a clear coat? Thanks

driverside corner by the nose, they could have done a better job masking so they didn't get that little bit of overspray there, otherwise looks like a great car

I have a question about restoring rims. If there is slight rust damage in the rim can u grind out the rust then fill it with filler or will it ruin the integrity of the rim?

Love this car and video, I hope you all painted the undercarriage now. I got to be funny here because of the white 1000 Hp car you all did awhile back and people gave you crap about it lol. And remember now I still gave you a Thumbs Up. Peace out and have a great weekend.

I've never painted any type of vehicle, but I found it strange you wouldn't paint the roof first, to prevent touching "wet" sides when painting the roof last.

these are the stripes ilike but the painter messed mine up they are narrow parallel stripes on trunk and hood then stops at the hood in the front and dont continue on the car, iam paint and coatings specialist, and iam going to put my stripes on correctly and paint my car inside and out every bit of it. And every part there is.

nice! painted over the rust inside the rims?

When he's spraying why is it he never wears eye protection? I'm sure if even a droplet of paint got in his eye it would be damaging.
