Problem with this show is there is 20 minutes of advertising and ten minutes of fabrication.

My husband has been working on my 68 Chevelle for 2 years and he just finished the sheet metal. He can only do with what money we have. I know he will get my car finished

I love the changing out of the front end sheet metal! Like to see the rear changed too. I can also see redoing the engine while the front end is off. But why go full on unlimited pocket book and change out the whole front A-Frame. Most of us do not have the money to do something like that or maybe it is just me. I can understand replacing all steering components (ball joints, tie rod ends, & etc), bushing, and such while the front is apart and put in some handling components but what you are doing is far outside a normal budget. Considering this is suppose to be a poor mans split grill..................I love all your work.

I want somebody to upgrade cars with junkyard parts. CPP makes spindles to upgrade to corvette c5 brakes!

Had to file our new powder coating. Giving rust a starting point. Why wasn’t the holes made big enough in the first place, so even with the powder coating the bushings would fit in place. He should have enlarged the holes before the powder coating or the subframe mfr should have made them bigger in the first place.

It's been a while , are we going to see any more on this car??

Thats the trouble with this show , you will get a new segment and it will be months before another new show comes on and it will be another new project

If you want to complain about something being expensive in this video, go check out the price on a Cornwell toolbox! Holy crap for the price of one of those you can build the car the with an unlimited budget! Guess I will never have one of those boxes!

Since then: SP3C offers full frame goodness for the F-Body that bolts in using the original body mounts and leaf spring mounts.

Be ready to wait a few yrs.

I know I made other comments but here is another but when this project started you also said because the real split grills are hard to find and cost far outside most peoples budget or at lease along those lines. Putting in that real fancy front Sub-Frame and Engine is great and you can do that in the project BUT can't you also show us dust bunny pocket people how we could rebuild the old front end using those same catalogs and great after market parts while maintaining a much more friendly budget. Same with the engine. I image that engine you got would cost 15K or so, not budget friendly. You could get a Performer RPM package (435 HP top end) for a 350 from Edelbrock for 3.3K.

Hopefully you change out the taillights to the early style.

That's the plan that was said in a previous episode. But we probably won't see that happen.

That's a cool but expensive subframe! In sure! Now to strengthen the rest of the car!

Can they build c3 very frame

This episode aired in July of 2017. Its been over a year and they still haven't got back to it, but there has been videos on other vehicles. I really want to like this show but this one as well as others have too much jumping around between projects. Obviously I don't know if these things are being funded privately so work only gets done and filmed when the owner forks out cash or what not, but now days a lot of these gear head style shows give you like a 5-10 minute montage of work, then the rest of the show is trying to pitch products or universities and then commercials.

They've always jumped around like that. Many projects have just disappeared without explanation, even years later. Sometimes there's a good reason, like it's in the paint shop, waiting on sponsors to buy or donate stuff, etc, but who knows when they never say anything about it?

You can put all those aftermarket parts on the stock subframe. I do it for a living. It’s nice but if you want a bad ass frame. Get a art Morrison

Will this subframe fit a 75 firebird?

No the fenders bolt up. Keep in mind the rear facia taillights and back window are also different on the early cars. But from the front, it'll look like a 70 to 73.

Sub frame ? Should be half a Frame held with 4 bolts

Sounds like the guy with the datsun killed his buddy for the v8 and life insurance and bought a lot of new parts. Case closed. Que C.S.I theme "yeaaaaahhhhhhhhhh"

Good looking out! Too bad it's so little coverage.

Dude I like the idea of changing the sheet metal out to another year model Camaro but with all the up grades your doing all your doing is building another rich man's Camaro. When the Camaro was known to be the poor man's sports car.. You really need to keep your build projects more down to earth.

I've always hated it when they put a 70-73 RS nose on the newer Camaros. If you like the 70-73 RS (like I do) buy one, don't fake it. It looks foolish with the newer tail lights and rear window.

That is one crappy sway bar! It's supposed to twist, how much of that twist is being lost to spinning on the bar?!

Out of a 22 minute video,only 8:35 shows actual work on the project car. The rest is all plugging products and tools the avg gearhead can't even afford. I know you need to pay the bills with a little advertising but,isn't that why the have commercials??? Cmon guys,get your shit together and get this thing finished already..........or at least arrange it so you stop jumping from project to project and start showing more work than product.

Do they really? How so? I wouldn't know because we don't have a Cornwell franchisee in my region. We haven't for 20+years. I know because I talked to a NAPA auto parts representative in my area and that's what they told me. I also have no idea where they are price wise compared to Snap-on, Mac, Matco, SK, or Carlyle. I'm curious to know how they are quality wise.
