My dad bought it new and my grandpa had it for well over a decade. It's been mine since my freshman year of college (7 years ago) and it's been my daily for over a year. I know it's not special, the paint is shit, and it'll never be worth much, but it's really cool to have my fire for it constantly reignited by you. Thank you for the effort you put in your videos.

    When you're done and the finish is cured, go back and apply some 3M 'door edge guard' (clear plastic stick-on that is usually wrapped over the edge of the door) to the valley underneath the door handle. That will guard against scratches. Similarly, use the same product on the bottom edge of the door, so you don't scrape curbs, etc.

    My absolute dream car is 69/70 Daytona/Superbird!! When I was 10 years old, I was growing up in Central Florida, near the Daytona International Speedway. At a car show during Speedweek, there was a Toro Red Dodge Daytona. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen!! Now this being WAY before the internet, research was done at the LIBRARY of all places! I read as much as I could find about this car, NASCAR, and it kicked off my love for cars! My family and I were around DIS all the time. My dad raced motorcycles there, my mom worked for Channel 6 (out of Orlando) a CBS station, and we were always around cars/motorcycles. I didn't see another Daytona in person until I was almost 30! It was at a tire shop I used to work at. It was Petty Blue and it was a clone but it was still beautiful as ever!!

    Man its awsome to see this car looking all done up. Man when we finish building my dads college car, his 1969 convertible, RS Swapped that was a stolen car and was recovered its gonna be awsome. Ive never seen the car before when my dad used to daily it but that car went through everything, snow, rain hot sunny days to fade the paint away. That car was basically with him for almost his whole life, and many more years to go on with him! This car will get the most secure tech to prevent it from getting stolen again. Back in the 80s the most you could do to prevent your car was a kill switch. My dad went a step further. He installed a removable steering wheel, removable radio, kill switch and alarm system. I can't wait for this car to be finally done.

    From a post on Reddit, so this is totally unconfirmed, but take from it what you will: Peter stole and cloned an old phone of Alex's and gained access to his personal and business Google accounts including the Legit Street Car KZread account. With his username and password he could also get into Alex's Gmail, Google photos, text messages, contacts and much more. He was caught red handed logged in as Alex! Peter was logging in as Alex on KZread so he could monitor his KZread income, all analytics and this level of access gave him the ability to delete the entire channel. Alex's shop isn't open to the public and no one outside of employees are allowed. When Alex was out of town Peter had people bring their cars into the shop so they could work on their cars with Peter using all of Alex's tools. This was a huge insurance liability for Alex. There's a lot more to the story, such as Peter driving Alex's cars on a suspended license but I won’t get into all those details right now.

    You are so right that dream cars don’t have to be expensive or exotic. I knew a guy that had a fully restored Pinto wagon with 400,000 miles on it. The first time that I rode in the car, he reminded me to not slam the doors. He loved that little wagon.

    What a way for Buick to end the life of its G-body. I dreamed of having one back when they were new, but someone just out of high school and starting college couldn't afford it. I liked the G-bodies, I had two; a 1978 Regal and a 1980 Grand Prix. Just the basic cars, nothing fancy. Not my dream cars either, that would be the Daytona from Miami Vice, even if it was a replica.

    I know your feeling. I finally bought my dream car 2 weeks ago. 07 sts v. Last 2 weeks I have been fixing it up getting it ready and doing some performance/maintance stuff. Just down to pulley swap and spark plugs and get put it back together. I just got my polishing kit from chemical Brothers and going to try to clean up the paint. Needs to be repainted at some point but you know how it goes. Do the best you can with what you have. I LOVE your GNX. It's a beautiful car and a hell of a find.

I’ve had my Dakota R/T 5.9, Durango R/T 5.9, third gen Camaro and Firebird and now my 2002 Harley Edition F150. Never been able to get a Cobra for a decent price. I’ll keep hunting

    I bought a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer in white that's an LT special edition that has the special 5 spoke 18" aluminum wheels. The 5.3 all aluminum LH6 has about 350 HP after a custom exhaust, air intake mod and custom tune. I have fallen completely in love with this thing over the years since it does everything I need and want a vehicle to do as well as scare the crap out of you if you really get into it. I deleted the roof rack and most people ask me if it's an SS since it sounds so good. They trip out when I tell them no. I don't ever plan on getting rid of it

    Back in the mid 90’s I had a 93 Mustang GT I bought new in spring of 94. It was the centerfold car for the 93 5.0. litre. It was all red, grey cloth, no sunroof & a 5 speed. Anyway I built it up with aluminum heads, custom one off aluminum plenum with a Vortech S-Trim race spec with HD bearings so I could run a cog drive pulley system. The car went 10:58@127MPH with me shifting like no one’s business…😋 10:58 back then which was real quick! I built it all myself. The car was show quality. It never seen snow or rain & I put it away in the winter. Basically just took it out to the local parking lot to hang out, street raced it a bunch & took it to New England Drag Way a couple times. There’s a point to all this, but I had to tell you about my car.😋 Okay, my sister’s boyfriend Josh had a 19k mile mint 87 Grand National & it was impeccably mint. We were anal about our cars, I still am. He went 12:30@104MPH with just a tune & Mickey Thompson sportsman pros. We took it apart & sent the heads out to New Jersey & he was getting a custom cam made from the same place. He bought everything for this car. We put a 13” front brake kit on it (I think Baer?) & of course he bought a huge Garret turbo, I can’t remember the sz? But the entire car was being built for 9’s & again this is 1995, so a real fast car. He was driving home from fishing down the Cape, we’re from New England, he fell asleep at the wheel in his winter beater & he died! Absolutely destroyed our family! It was my sisters first love & they were most likely definitely going to get married. Well I just figured I’d tell you a little story, because obviously I can’t ever see one of these with out remembering my very close friend & was going to be my future brother in law. Such a shame, he was 21 yrs old(💔) Im 48 now & I can’t believe how fast time flys by. His mom wanted me to have his car, but I couldn’t even look at it. She sold it to a couple guys about 8 yrs after he passed. Didn’t wanna bum you out but I love these cars! My cousin Russel has a few, one is in the low 8’s in the 1/4 mile! Good luck with it & I know you take care of your cars. Im still into cars, I have a 630 wheel H.P, black on black 44k original mile, mint, mint 09 BMW 135i with the mighty N54. It’s port & direct injected with twin pure 600’s. It’s gonna get a big single maybe next yr. Sorry for the book, good luck…💪🏻💯🙏🏻🏁
