I admire your patience and how carefully you do everything, from the beginning, to this final stretch. I could not have done it. Well done.

Great work. So satisfying building your own car.

I've started following you when you got this car 🚗 I love how nice it coming along.... fantastic job

The halloween decoration was off the hook

Wow finally !! You should be very proud 👏 😊...your patience and determination/ knowledge at such a young age got u through it .. Love your car ! Beautiful 👍🙏

what i think you will appreciate as years go by, are the memories forged of this build with your Dad..and dig the Halloween scene..epic...

Sounds good. I have that same exhaust on my 79 Z/28. Love that sound

Congrats Ryan! It always seems like the first startup happens on a late night thrash. It's always the excitement of hearing it breathe life that makes us push into the wee hours to hear it run.

Sounds wonderful. Great Job 💪

Priceless moment Ryan!! When your dad shook his head saying " not bad". You've came a long way bro, anticipation is high. Not far now, congratulations brother.

Well Ryan you have done an immaculate job on this car and ive watched from the start as you know. cant wait to see this car rolling!! great job1

Sounds fantastic, almost there.

A job well done. The car sounds awesome. Next video will be you driving it I guess. Thanks for taking us on the journey with you restoring it. I really enjoyed every clip you posted. No to get that RS Camaro to go with this one. Hopefully we will soon be setting off on a new car adventure with you.

Perseverancia es la clave !!!

Hey Ryan, all of your hard work and attention to detail paid off. Just fantastic, sounds great, congratulations! Dad says it's loud, lol. Cheers.

Excellent job sounds great .

Ryan, it sounds great for what I could hear. You’re probably driving it by now and I’m anxious to see it moving with all 4 wheels on the ground! lol Another words “no wheelies” but maybe the rear wheels smoking a little. lol I’m sure that you are going to take great care of it after all the hard meticulous work that you’ve put into it over the last year. Thanks for sharing this build with us. If you decide you want to sell it, please get in touch with me and I’m serious.

Nicely done Ryan. I always wonder who writes up installation instructions. I’m convinced the instructions would be different if the people who write them up tried to follow them themselves. As always, your attention to detail is remarkable. Nothing like the first start!! 👍👍

Wow, Great job Ryan. The Parents Halloween graveyard is absolutely amazing! Can wait to see it drive.

CERAMIC COATING AN ENGINE BAY.....WHO DOES THAT!!!! I love that YOU love your car and being so neurotic.....just like me! Lol. Excellent job so far...Keep it comin slick. Personally, I would've used a panel prep like gyeon or iso alcohol but that's me but I FRICKIN love that you're doing this! 👍 turned out great! Beautiful drivetrain too. Idk if you ever mentioned what ur going to do with the body, color wise, and some other things... also, an easy way to get a seal out is screw, a screw in the face of it and use the claw of a hammer to pull it out. Personally, I would've left the radiator unpainted..but again, that's me... You're also lucky you have a wife that's cool with letting you do all of this...lol

What alternator did you go with? Love the videos btw. Can't wait for the next driving video. I am restoring one of my own. I use your video as a huge reference for many things I do.

I think the kids doing a great job nice looking 73 Z 28 that’s for sure kids doing a real good job

Love the idle sound - the exhaust compliments that lumpy cam. If I didn't live in Canada, I would have helped you put that gas tank in (that was quite the acrobatics - LOL). Can't wait for the next video.

Beautiful work. I have the same car! Same color but my stripes are white. I’ve had it 35 years. Put a TKX 5 speed in this year. Please let me know where you found seatbelt rebuild kit!

It’s been a while since I ordered the pad kit and I can’t find my emailed receipt where I got it but I think I just typed in “gas tank pad” into ebay and found some rubber roll meant for a fuel tank, then cut it to length. Then just found a random foam block to glue onto the center section of the tank👍

We need another episode Ryan!!!

Those exhaust kits should have been for designated yrs, 1967-68, then 69 then 70-81. You have 1968 tailpipes. Something that I would fix if it was my car.

@RyanSampsonRPh

2 жыл бұрын

Agh I see. It ended up turning out nice but I knew something was wrong. Are the normal tailpipes supposed to just exit straight out the back rather than dump to the ground for 70-81?

Know Wonder you had a hard time with exhaust. That's not for that car, at least not stock, tail pipes don't exit there but look fine 👌

Done in time to put it away for winter bummer.

Can't remember if the 1973 cars' undercarriage was painted flat black or chassis black.

How do u afford to do this kinda work? If u dont feel like saying thats fine I guess. I have been asking everyone I watch on youtube this question. I just need to know if I need to work overtime or get a loan or what smart choices u did to make this happen. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated
