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!

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.

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!

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

This front conversion is around 3,500. Cant imagine how much the rear conversion would be...may be 4k. Plus the rear would require alot of cutting and welding. I have a 78 and i will leave it as it is. Way too expensive. I wonder why they never did the rear conversion?

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.

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.

So true! I use to watch this show every week and loved it. Finally got disgusted with the lack of continuity and hardly ever seeing anything finished.

Wow... You sir are optimistic..
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!!!!!!!!
Awesome transformation!!
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
This front conversion is around 3,500. Cant imagine how much the rear conversion would be...may be 4k. Plus the rear would require alot of cutting and welding. I have a 78 and i will leave it as it is. Way too expensive. I wonder why they never did the rear conversion?
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.

Also 74-77 interiors and trim decals... and I've noticed I have a rare ivory colored gauge bezel that isn't available. Man these videos are motivating. Doing a lot of this stuff with mine now. Hope to make some serious progress in 2019.
Thank you for this video! What about rear 78 to 70 conversion ?
I had a 74 in high school.
I did that same thing you are doing about 12 years ago.
*I have a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro Rally Sport!*
is there a part number for this kit on classic industries?
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

This would make a GREAT full circle story with the car going back to the original owner!!!! How often does that happen?!😮
That conversion is very neat so it looks like a 1970- 73 model Camaro and Firebird from a 1974-81 model
Got my 80 z28 and hoping to get it restored
Yeah what about the tail end? I haven’t seen the episode where that was worked on. Did I miss it?
did stacey ever finish this build?
Breaks my poptart that they couldn't stamp out a steel nose.
What’s the price point for everything shown? Core support, body panels, hardware, etc.?

We got it from Classic Industries. Auto Metal Direct also sells many components for the 2nd Gen. I would check with them as prices have definitely changed since we put this together.
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 do I see this whole build series cant find all of it on KZread!!

Unfortunately if it’s like most of his projects you won’t.
That added hood bumper on the quick tip section is actualy an alarm hood pin switch.
Do they sell a conversion piece for the rear window to make it non-wrap around?
I love this gen of camaro and hes changing it 😭
Now i'm just waiting for Danchuk to sponsor a complete catalog Tri five chevy build using nothing but their replacement parts.
Wow that is pretty badass
Thank you thank you thank you for pulling those pieces of sheet metal off the rear glass. Those looked like ass hahaha

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 ..

Or lift a crew c30 as high as we can?
How would I get a hold of the parts list you used on this project ?
He said it was a kit but I can not locate the kit or conversion for this application
Good show

Fender through 77 will work

Is this a different shop?

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

Are you going to put together a parts list for swap?
Not everybody
Did you ever finished it?
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
@validcore
Жыл бұрын
Notice it didn't show 1 second of swapping that out. It's not the $120 it's the time and getting into the ac...vs drilling some holes and cutting that flange in under an hour.
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.

If you actually planned to do a project similar to this you could look yourself. And since listening is not your strong point he did say a couple thousand.
Everyone wants the first generation not this generation thats why the first generation demands so much more money than the second generation
