It takes a level of patience and ability to learn as you go that I simply don't have to do a project like this. I applaud any "non-professional" who is willing to take something like this on. I definitely want to do some kind of vehicle restoration as a retirement project, but it'll be on a MUCH smaller scale than this. Much respect to you, Kyle, for just jumping in and figuring sh*t out!

I'm very anxious to see how this rebuild turns out Kyle! What I like most of all is this is a vehicle that most people would walk past and wouldn't give a second glance. Good luck and take no prisoners!!!

Imagine doing this process on a modern car... I would have loved to be a mechanic "back in the day". These cars are so much more user friendly to work on.

Gotta love your restomod series Kyle! Keep doing what you do man!

I always like seeing classic sedans. Everybody loves and bought coupes, so when I see a sedan, I always think of it as cooler, because it's harder to find.

he's doing this restore the right way. That's so great to see him bring this bacdk to life.

Good work sir looking forward for you to get it together excellent job🙂👍🏽👍🏽

Been watching since you were short filming startups at your parents lit. Love you man!

The rotisserie is awesome. Such a cool project!

awsome video kyle thats a really neat and very handy tool to have to be able to flip the body like that makes it sooooooooooooo much easyier to work with and will make it easy for futrue projects or prevois ones defianlly well worth it thumbs up and sharerd

Kyle I been a big fans of your channel for a while, keep up the great work 👍

Great video I’m in the process of having my GTO doing all this thanks buddy

Nice buddy I been enjoying the content!

Awesome video Kyle!

I definitely enjoy seeing frame off restoration of the Chevrolet Chevelle it should look awesome

Want to see the 240SX!!

The wheels look classic! I even like this car!🙂

Great content keep em coming.

Great video I’m getting ready to do the same thing to my GTO

Great job I wish you could fix America the way you fix your cars great job

I definitely dig it as well

After cleaning up the frame, I'm sure you'll take the chance at reinforcing the frame, especially in the key areas like the areas of the front and rear axles. They will see a lot more torque than what the frame can handle. This is becoming my favorite of your projects. Hope to see more of the 240SX.

Couldn’t these frames from the factory handle the torque from the SS 396 and 454 packages? If so, why reinforce it? I don’t recall Kyle saying this one will have significantly more power/torque than that.

@JoseRivera-ym3wj

This came with a weak 305(?) small block. You're talking big torquey big blocks. But I'm not sure if frames for cars with big block engines would have the proper reinforcement for the weight and torque from the factory.

@jamesbeaman6337

3 жыл бұрын

True and I was making an assumption that GM wouldn't have a separate frame construction for the different engine options but would have designed it for the worst case power/torque. But then I have made bad assumptions before so it would be interesting to confirm.

@saabkyle04

To my knowledge, the big block/SS cars did not have any additional structural reinforcements. Bracing is a good idea depending on how the car will be driven and how much power you're planning on putting down. That being said, I don't plan on doing any additional bracing to this car. It'll have a totally modern suspension and driveline with a mildly built 6.0 LS. We just want to build a fun cruiser. It'll never be raced or autocrossed.

Hey @saabkyle04 how big is ur new shop like what’s the over all size and length of your new shop also what are you running for hvac ac in ur new shop

Nice

Is the 4dr chevelle frame length the same as a 2dr frame?

You need to make a tour of the new shop.

Are you ever go to detail cars in the new shop?

That car is amazing condition for a vehicle pushing a half century old. Thanks for the video Kyle! I have a question: is this bracing on the body still needed/recommended on a unibody vehicle as well as a body on frame vehicle?

@JoseRivera-ym3wj

3 жыл бұрын

Older unibody cars can actually sag in the middle. Since stiffness and rigidity has raised with time, later model unibody cars may not need as much bracing as the body from body-on-frame cars. Still, it's recommended to check for straightness on unibody cars and do proper bracing when performing restoration, chassis reinforcement, and stiffening techniques like stitch welding.

So you can use a rotisserie for any car like your chevelle. Well can it be used for a ford crown victoria?

Sunroof & widebody work needed asap

If you don’t mind me asking, how much does a job like this normally cost?

That is a nice roll cage, good to see you taking safety seriously.

It's not a Roll cage it's a brace to keep the car from flexing when the body gets removed from the chassis or getting it's floors or floor brace cut

Nice!! Well you certainly don't go half way.... :-)

You're putting all this work into a 4 door?

An odd idea, but. I wonder if you could do something similar to what Ford F100/F150 guys do with using a Crown Vic chassis.... But instead of the Crown Vic, take like a '96 Caprice chassis so it rides more like a modern car.

Caprice chassis is too big I think. The idea is definitely there though.

In ep.7 you should sand down the entire body and paint the entire car.
