Thank You, I love seeing my era of factory cars, Your right factory gauges is better looking, That's where all us baby boomer memory are. All you other era kids leave my era cars factory looking...Respect the year and time.

That's one beautiful camaro guys thanks for sharing

I actually built a "4 wheel drive version" I used to race in the 80's. Back when you could buy a 70 Camaro for literally $175 bucks. I put it on a 73' Blazer frame which cost $200, the blazer parts not needed sold for over $400 so the build was literally free.

GREAT ENGINE, the Beach Boys missed it by 7....Had one in a '72 Chevelle. L-88 firt design cam, Torker intake, 650 DP, '66 small chamber small port heads. What a torque monster.....

ever since my mom had a '71, I've always wanted one.. maybe someday, but I have some radical changes in mind for mine.

I can do this kind of work..I'm Grateful,... I also love shooting with the Iwata Supernova! Great work!

these guys are way cool. That is one hell of a project--great work!!!

These guys are the coolest guys on the planet. Seriously. Elvis? Sinatra? Nope, the guys from PowerNation Muscle Car! “What pound injectors you runin?” “Step aside son, we’re runin a Holley” Showing those millennials how it’s done!

BEAUTIFUL body work on that hood, wanted to get a fiberglass front clip for my 1965 F100 until I was told some work like you did would probably need to be done, CANCELLED that idea !

Very cool! Can’t wait to see limelight finished.

Really love those retro budget builds

i love how after the clutch adjustment instead of lowering the car and letting him out they got him a ladder so he could climb out just so they wouldn't have to drop it and re-lift to do the exhaust.

When people go through this, they often have the original distributor rebuilt and sometimes recurved. It can be cheaper than a new aftermarket unit, even when the points conversion kit is included.

The old distributor was probably rebuilt during this project, then the points conversion kit was fitted immediately afterward.

I don't see the downside to a hydraulic clutch, so long as it doesn't have a slave cylinder that requires transmission removal to replace. Also, the age of the car doesn't determine whether the clutch is hydraulic or not. Toyota was using them in some cars back when your Camaro was built. 5:46 I'm disappointed that there aren't any mandrel bends. Sure, they wouldn't look 100% like OEM, but they would be close enough and have a great horsepower benefit.

@jordanwiley4582

4 жыл бұрын

Yes, the age of the car does determine whether or not the clutch is hydraulic. It's from 1970. Camaros in 1970 did not have hydraulic clutches. At a basically stock power level mandrel vs press bent 2.5" exhaust hp wise is negligible at best. And if it works, there is no downside to a hydraulic clutch. The downsides are installing it and bleeding it. A mechanical clutch will almost never not work. Plus, its what was available in 1970.

Wtf is up with the green on the dash? It should have been painted tan before the windshield was installed.

Perfect, needs headrests.

Hey Guys , you are actually re-creating a 1970 1/2 Camaro RS/Z-28. There was no other car that year with stripes except the Z-28 and the RS/Z-28. those ARE z-28 stripes so they would not belong on an RS/SS .............sorry FAIL in identifying your Camaro re-creation though .........
