Started all good then it turns into the blair witch project, lmao
What ever happened with this Firebird build????
Still working on it, that engine needed a lot of work. Video on it will be coming soon!
Now how they got that treadmill on there is beyond me
You’re the first person to point out the treadmill and I’m so incredibly grateful.
This was so entertaining, it reminded me of watching American chopper, Paul sr losing it, followed by Paul jr with commentary, lmao 👍
Now do 3 hrs without gloves. I wanna see those black hands.
I don’t wanna 🥺
If you do it they will come.
✨MmMMmmM YuMMmmAYY✨
I've been watching your channel for a while now, and i have never seen you like this, But i want to say way to go Mark, you showed that bumper who's boss, body work can be really tedious sometimes 👍
This was from the $1,500 Mustang Rebuild, the first time dad tried painting a red car. There were a lot of fun clips in that series. kzread.info/head/PLbsuHYM1JgxlWAuZ8c2QGHsaJhEqqX_Tq&si=73nBzzscXYLzcIEG
You need the oil temp to be 175 degrees, not the coolant.
You are correct, I pinned your comment in hopes other people will see it as well. Unfortunately I can’t edit it to say oil temp instead of coolant temp without deleting it from KZread.
Rear dual exhaust valance available in fiberglass from R K SPORT.
Remember Andy, it's "fix or repair daily" not monthly😄. I loved the expressions on your son's face.
I have a 2008 Limited.. I didnt notice if you got the Driver seat heater working (?) I didnt see or hear of any cleaning mud out of or investigation of inside the door panels, rocker panels, u joints, wheel bearings, wheel wells that could hold/trap mud and debris, un, brake assemblies, but with Salvage title and if it was throughly cleaned from trapped mud and debris..I think it would be worth 13k
how did you fix the messed up contact paper stuff on the trunk lid where the convertible top fastens?
I didn’t, but I did find some replacement ones on eBay when I was thinking about replacing the old ones.
Thanks for the good diagram and files.
Like David, I enjoy both types of video. Although it's a tie between the two.
I enjoy both the rebuilds and restorations, but probably the restorations have the edge for me. keep up the good work.
Thanks David!
At first I thought this was an April Fools joke. Lol I'm scared as f*CK to do my timing chain now
Very nice! Did you use the entire 16.9 oz bottle of dye?
Just watched the whole series on the Corvette. Great job!
Awesome! We’re so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Just a question, I have an 07 gxp. How did you fix the exhaust rattle?
If I remember correctly, the muffler was pushed forward when the bumper was hit and caused the exhaust pipe to vibrate against the undercarriage. I think I pulled it back out with a hoist.
@@rebuildit thank you so much. Mines rattling a little and just bought it. I'll check to see if the hangars are allowing the exhaust to sway into the bumper! Love the video!
Thank you sur I've had this problem 😊
Glad we could help!
Did you think about getting the hardtop coupe part molded so more can be made for sales to other solstice owners, that was definitely a money making opportunity
We don’t have the resources or money for that process. Otherwise we definitely could’ve done that.
Where did you order parts from?
Directly from CanAm
Lovely story for the car and a lovely car to own!
Put a fan shroud back on it.
Small block Chevy in a 68 firebird. Kool!
No worries on the delayed videos. Life can get busy. Love the family history on this one and happy to see it's staying in your family tree.
Thanks Pat!
Looking forward to watching the process. that's a favorite verse for me, thanks.
Did you have to remove the steering wheel or was that done for better visibility for the camera? Great video.
Thanks for watching! That was a long time ago, but I think we had to remove the steering wheel to remove dash.
Video was a huge help and your correct I did have to remove the steering wheel.
What black paint did you use for the engine bay?
I think it was Krylon Industrial Semi Flat. The semi flat is hard to find
Doesn't look like the back brakes are working to well.
Solstice coupe
I paid $200 for mine and I'm not going to spend $5,000 on parts when all it needs is a door and a fender and a bumper and maybe replace the top that's less than $1,000 where I'm at
👍🏻
Easily 11k cars in the near future
Hi thank u for all the info but what is the brand or name of the the black paint for the top!?

I have a T2 that was purchased new in Des Moines. I can’t believe that I stumbled on the this video. Your content was well produced and enjoyable.
Thank you! Make sure to watch the whole series!
Initially didnt appear it did anything but I drove around the block and tried it again and it worked like a champ! One question though - brakes feel mushy now (didnt before) - do you think they need bled because of this adjustment?
Unlock the radio the cluster will show data
What a nightmare! I was thinking about buying a Solstice, but I changed my mind after seeing what is involved in changing the water pump. The engineer who designed this motor is definitely not a mechanic. Your video saved me from a future nightmare. Thanks!
Thank you
I find it bizzare that the black links didn’t both go to the timing gears and the off color link didn’t go to the crank. Why would they make it that way?
Random question: where is the Satellite radio receiver? I have read that it's behind/above the rear passenger wheel well (for the Verts anyways), but I don't think I see it in your footage.
You guys came out on it very well. Look at kelly blue book.
I think the engine just sat for a while and things are a little gummed up along with there being some junk sitting on the valves since the compression numbers increased with each test as things got moved around a bit. You might try cleaning the valves off and using some valve lapping compound before spending the time and money to send it to a machine shop. Also the staining and small pitting in the cylinder is probably not related to the compression issue as it seems to be sitting down low below where compression really begins to build (also it seemed to be at TDC during the test, negating any issue down in the cylinder). A good cleaning and some run time on the engine might clear up a lot of these issues Good luck with the build!
Thanks for the encouragement! A little inside info before the next episode, I sent the head off to a machine shop and had it tested. They said it was in great shape and held good compression. So I hope you’re right about the cylinder.
Are both heads being machined?
Just sending one off to be checked for issues with the valves
Welcome back Mark, it’s great to see that the engine is giving you more content that you probably didn’t want, Happy Easter
Thank you! And thanks for watching! Happy Easter!
GREAT VIDEO…..! And congrats on the GXP T2 to Bobby for connecting everyone! Love the Rebuild it channel
Thank you for watching and for the kind words!
The SRT6 Crossfire is faster… I think it’s 13.0 compared to 13.5 1/4 miles times. But with a quick boost controller and exhaust it’ll be at the same speed
Good deal. Now it is great.
Wow. Looks super. Lotta work. Amazing results.
