My 1974 Corvette Transformation

[BigLogHome]

Damn! That car is frickin' hot! I like it a lot. :-)

[burnoutking1971]

thank the lord you removed the spoke wheels, please tell me you used them for target practice with your AR-15 or AK.

[eagle0924]

nice grass

[moumt]

Nice ride man!! Crazy color, don't mind the haters, I feel the fact that you wanna be unique! I got my own baby posted on my channel if you wanna see her (80 Vette).. Thinking of installing those side pipes too, you know to eliminate the sauna effect in the car while driving it, and yeah, cuz it look's sweet as a bitch too lool.

[0393buff]

i liked the car black !

[walt9107]

why would you take off the other rear bumper i did the exact opposite on mine

[felipe09vallejos85]

i hate you u.u I want one !! xD

[ruwithlee1970]

Very very Cool Vette !

[31jda]

Nice choice with the centerlines, or are they weld wheels?

[BigH3017]

@straightshiz im not saying he didnt and i agree that he put in a shit load of work. Its my person opinion that it would look better black. so chill out dude im not calling his project crap because its a beautiful project im just saying i like the color black better.

[Stretchmancando]

Nice job! The paint-wheels-sidepipes-all nicely done! Don't let your kid drive it without you in it. My son of 18 yrs. totaled mine doing a stupid U turn. he's OK but I surely miss my ultimate toy.

[lynch5552933]

Nice car but it was already a very nice car before the "transformation" was it really worth the effort?

[slovakmath]

i respect Americans inability to appreciate European cars simply cause they aren't very well know there...but I think Americans cars are no good still

[FANADICALCOWHEAD]

I bet your son loves riding to school in that beast :P

[metalmulisha2020]

nice car.. would side pipes fit on a 75 vette!?

[MrRepairguy]

nice paint, i agree with you, black, red, white and yellow corvettes can be found everywhere, i have an 82 vette, i have it all primered, i am trying to decide on the color, believe me, it wont be a common color. i am leaning with candy blue, since the interior is blue.

[hernandadmx]

dont lower it. Hate low muscle cars.... this car looks sporty and badass atits normal height.

[straightshiz]

@hernandadmx He'll do what he wants to, it's his car. Go back to tire kickin' and bud drinkin' billy bob.

[slovakmath]

@straightshiz grow up...you sound like an imbred schizophrenic retard who stands at a street corner screaming and yelling at a light pole, while everyone simply ignores you because they feel so sorry for you. lol!

[Aizuaka]

Sweet. I might be getting my dream car soon. A 74 vette Stingray with yellow paint. Cant wait !

[Dgas56]

I am doing a 75 w a BBC and all. Nothing is numbers correct w half the car from several dead "Vettes from 74 to 82 and thats the way I want it. I have no time for all that anal numbers tracking + trophy chasing altho I have done that trip. NO thanks, Its my car, Done MY way. Same deal here. NICE CAR! DRIVE THE WHEELS OFF!

[CajCoo]

If you don't mind, how much did you pay for the pain job? I will soon be starting on my 77 corvette and I've always wanted a color just like that!

[Drazil42]

An absolutely gorgeus 'Vette! Literally made my mouth water. I'm looking for a 72-74 one to buy, but wouldn't dream of even suggesting you sell this baby.

[1961woodstock]

i love this car,,,,,but the only thing that stands out is the bra,,,,,take it off man,,,even nicer car without it. good job regardless

[straightshiz]

@1961woodstock Let me ask you something. If you bought a vette, restored it top to bottom in 4 years worth of work, then had an anonymous critic tell you what you should or shouldn't do with your car, would you listen? In other words, stfu.

[JaviSR20DET]

What can I say about this car Notthin but BOSS!

[ShawnMASTAGibbs]

anyone know top speed and 0 60 time of a 74 stingray? Thought about trading my camaro in for one that was 12000

[vettedude102]

What are the rims at 0:36 I was wanting to put some on my corvette thanks

[MustangGT232323]

the colour is amazing ... so beautiful car dude.. i'm speechless... great car .. btw i like the exhaust's too ... so awesome .. 5/5

[kissfan59474]

nice ride dude,I would love to drive around listening to KISS in that thing get an 8 track player.

[dirtyal1234]

nice job my man, nice to see the father son thing going on too

[milkenkookies]

how much did it cost to redo this sweet thang? lol

[ChevyisBeast350]

That. Is. NICE. Great job. You couldn't have done a better job with this beautiful vette

[ndawgtkd]

Very beautiful.

[pootietang420]

AWESOME congrats!! you did a good job

[Ray70ss]

I don't usually like green...but htis vette pulls it of well. Great job!

[jaymanleonard]

loving the 67 style hood scoop. Nice car man!

[dillw33d001]

just asking, is there a reason for putting 2 coats on it. im getting one soon and restoring it. is it better to put 2 coats on it.

[DervellCadarn]

I have an emerald green 73, and you have created exactly what IU want to do with mine! The color, sidepipes, hood, and wheels are all amazing!

[NiceGuyAC]

wow !

Looked good before the overhaul, looks amazing now :D

Nice color.

[jonasgo2]

3 Doors Down - Kryptonite

[elmorropollo]

song?

[MNwildFranchise]

and the original rally tires

[curtiscorvette74]

Wow, that is certainly something to hold onto. You probably know they never offered a black '74. They should have, there's nothing like black Corvette. I was torn with the color, but this green is very unique and you just don't see it everyday. It looks great in the sunlight!

[TheF86Sabre]

@curtiscorvette74 FORGET THE BLACK! The green looks mind blowing awesome, with those five spoke rims....AWESOME!

[MNwildFranchise]

I really like the black..We have a silver 74 with indy 500 tires

[monato22]

gimmie gimmie gimmie!

[BigH3017]

why loose the black why?

[curtiscorvette74]

That was a tough one! However the green is outstanding and a black Corvette can be found anywhere.......

[DervellCadarn]

@curtiscorvette74 The green is amazing!

[XxFallen91xX]

@curtiscorvette74 beautiful car man, i love 69'- 75' vettes. im actually saving up to buy a 75 stingray off my buddies dad right now, i cant wait to get it. only thing i dont like about yours are the rims, id like the original rally rims. dont like modern rims on classics taks away from the classis. other than that you did a great job fixin it up/ very nice job. nice car man.

[straightshiz]

@XxFallen91xX I guarantee this car will look 10x better than your 75-shitbox with steel rally wheels. Here's a clue, I doubt he gives a fuck about what you like/don't like... k?

[straightshiz]

@BigH3017 Are you fucking serious? This guy put crazy work into this car, and it looks 1000% better. Buy your own Vette and do whatever you want with it. Oh, and stfu. 

[KingLeonidas013]

teh hawtness on wheelz

[chevyv8350]

this is one awsome transformation

[vstingray]

esta chido

[bigaldumais]

love the rims man, sweet car looking for one of my own

[ILoveNigs]

how did you strip the original paint?

[fishonmoe]

Nice car,bet you dumped alot money doing all the up grade.

Why would you spent all that on your car when you could a downpayment for a house.you park that vette in a apartment complex.hope you have kind nieghbors,and dont piss anyone off.nice car,I got a 73

[curtiscorvette74]

Thanks! Most of those early shots were a long time ago. I do own my own house and have a three car garage with two other Corvettes. Thanks for the concern!

[Anythingbut4]

do you remember the specs on the rims and tires? Backspacing/size of the rims, and size of the tires?

[smitty94hockeystar]

ya it is a sweet car but i got a 88 mustang 454 and a 77 chevelle 454

[krechrvr4]

beautiful colour mate!!! just need to lower it a couple of inches....

[atvstunter101]

VERY NICE! me and my dad are doing a '76 and we're plannin on getting the stinger hood like that one, how much was yours? we found people who sell them but i don't know if we're getting a deal or not

[Sarcasticscum]

Damn... I love the color... The hood looks like the C2 427 stlye hood.. Nice car!! What are the engine and transmission specs??

[tfidas]

Beautiful job!!!!!!!!!!! Gorgeous car!!!!!

[bustedspleens]

achin kryptonyte who painted it

[ajsnuker]

gorgeous

[acepilot79]

beautiful simply beautiful!!!

[transam82bird]

shoulda made back tires stick out more

[curtiscorvette74]

This isn't the late 1970's anymore!

[vettefan73]

beautiful car bro, i got a 73 myself currently in restoration. i was looking at that same exact hood to put on mine and you just sold me on it. it looks amazing

[jhon651]

Love the car really nice.

[coffeefish]

Great, great video.

[griller506]

Absolutely stunning. A man's wet dream come true....

[turbofire77corvette]

love the car. its beautiful. and you dont see green to much so it really adds to the car.

keep it strong . . . corvettes all the way!!!

[Anythingbut4]

near the end of the video.. what size rims and tires are those? also what rims are those?

[mtjasper26]

is that a 1980's rear peice with the spoiler we just put on off and 81 on our 74 vette it has a 408cid small block 650+ horse power and 4:10 gears

[stratchief]

Superb vette . the latest rims made the car look much more harmonic

[tsdockch]

She is a very sexy machine. HOT HOT HOT!!!

[1aceves]

I hear you, tonysvets...I myself own an '81 Vette w/4-speed manual and I wouldn't sell it for anything!...it's fun to drive as heck and beautiful body style to boot!...Corvette is the American Dream, my friends!!!

[sellin55]

super nice ride, nice work!!

[VAGPGR]

Amazing Car

Even nowdays the sape is unic

[marchky1]

i love the green...does it move?

[zamboc10]

dude you own my dreams car...

great car awsome video....

chevy rules

[vin32677]

bad azz

[hyena9989]

junkman is a fool...my stock 350 with full exhaust drowns out the radio..thats y i took it out..ur wasting ur money if u go 454 unless u shoot for 1000+ hp..u can easily get 700-900 hp out of a 383 stroker if u build it right............

[worm60]

oddly thats a great coler green...very nice

[On1wheel01]

The car looks great I myself have a 74 I am currently working on. Hey thejunkmanlives why don't you shut up frack up, if you don't like things on the car then don't look at it. I bet you couldn't even afford this car.

[tonysvets]

Great job on the video !!

I have a c3 1975 and a c4 1984 I love them both they are fun to drive and hey they are made RIGHT HERE IN THE U.S.A

SAVE THE WAVE!!!!!!

[thejunkmanlives]

why did u put those rims on it, the mags look way better. I hope U got a big block under the hood also, but some how i doubt that since u bothered with a stereo.A nice 500 horse bb chevy will drown out a stereo and that aint a bad thing.

[curtiscorvette74]

Well expense is not an issue for me so I have the best of both worlds here. I do have an kick ass stereo and a small block Vortec that has 500 plus HP on the dyno. As far as the rims they used to be 15 inch so I stepped up to 17's with these which can handle a corner much better! Trust me; this thing is insane to hold on to.

[thejunkmanlives]

why not just go for the 454, u get about the same horse with more torque, and its cheaper. ANd with side pipes i doubt u hear the radio anyway lol. My best fried has a big block 68 camaro, and when that motor is churning that radio gets drowned out easily. Hows ur interior, please dont tell me u chip foosed(chip foose needs to be punched, 20inch rims on a muscle car is silly) it with gay racing seats.

[raghnallmuirghis]

@curtiscorvette74 I love the 17 inch rims. Can you PLEASE tell me what they are, and what size tires you have with them? I want to buy the same for my 74. Thanks a million!

[cacaloteado]

thaks for the name of the song, and your car is a pretty machine

[cacaloteado]

what is the name of this song?

[nitromeup]

Kryptonite by 3 doors down

[dcvmax]

sweet ride man,I just got a 78 project vette last month and can't wait till it looks as good as yours !!!

[godsmack3636]

DAMN DUDE! That Corvette is amazing!

[shortstackslu72]

nice job!!! I have a great repro radio that i would like to sell. It has digital tuning, and i have retrofitted 72-76 knobs on it to give it an origional look. It also has an aux output for an ipod. WOrks fantastic and everyone thinks its is origional. I just happened to find an old delco radio that i am going to rebuild so i no longer need this radio. But it is a one of a kind "custom autosound" radio with the retrofitted knobs and custom corvette plaque. mail me if you are intersted.

[curtiscorvette74]

No thanks. I'm not concerned with the original look and I already have a bad ass stereo system. Thanks anyway!

[7722534]

Wow shit this is the best I ever saw

I gues you must be wery proud of your vette

[legolas0985]

Wow! I love the green paint job. You Dont see that color enough on Vette. the stinger hood looks great. I'm Getting ready to paint my 77 Vette, and after seeing yours, I think i'll go green instead of red. what is the name of the color?

[curtiscorvette74]

Thanks! The color is cosmic kandy green from "House of Kolor". It's custom so any scratch will not be able to be repaired. It has a silver base coat with the kandy green over the top.

[jfrase06]

what rims where those on the car at 33 seconds i have a 76 vette and i want those rims pm me and let me know

[curtiscorvette74]

Centerline Provo Con's

[Bullman83]

Are they 15 inches? can't seem to find any one larger. What tire dimention are you using? Really nice ride you've got there!

[warwolf7]

WOW! congratulation for your work, you must be soooo proud. Have fun ;)

[bheneee]

thats an awesome paint job! I,m redoing my 74 I,ve owned since 89 and can only dream it could be that nice, nice car!

[VinnyGN]

Excellent Job! My Grand National is in the transformation process.. we even have the same Torque Thrust II rims. Nice choice. I'd like to see your car in action.

[Mcclane101]

WOW, that is a NICE car. Great job A+

[jeyyyoni]

[conor1148]

[ijamtothebeat]

beautiful vette man... what kinda engine it got in her? stock?

[curtiscorvette74]

I have a '96 Vortec roller motor in it. It's right at about 355 HP.

[ijamtothebeat]

sexay... you have one of my dream cars..

[jasonb32]

the kandys and pearls out today are beautiful

a lil black base cole design under it would have looked sweet-

but its subtle ,and beautiful as it is-

[jasonb32]

not a fan of green but its one of the best looking greens out there- beautiful car

[curtiscorvette74]

I get that from everyone! Most people can't imagine green on a car, but this was done very tastefully! Thanks.........

[pyhap2ev]

Very nice car!!!!

i live in estonia in july i move to USA i want to buy same car

sorry about english...

[cisnerosrock]

simplemente hermosooooo

[cc40TX]

how much was the paint ? ?

[curtiscorvette74]

Too much~!

[marvintjeehh]

the car wasnt bad at all....

[curtiscorvette74]

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't perfect!

[merchcor]

Lot of work, I know I just went through the same thing with my 71, good job. As they say don't junk'em, keep restoring them.

[XxPearlyOnexX]

OMG I was watching the whole time thinking this is an amazing car with crappy rims then you changed them so I have to say this is the cleanest Vette i have seen and is the best!!

[magnavox50]

car looks great not so sure if I like the British Racing Green Metallic but but the rest of the car is hot!

[notgulty]

hey mang.. i see u have alota love for the chevy.. . it lookes great.. i gota 1977 l82 i bought for my first born son. 9 months he was came.. :)

[brainards1]

Dude...you are car crazy like me. My wife agrees with me too and she said its better than finding me out at some night club.

[madafakadme777]

beautiful car mate, just stunning!

[setaloka]

que lo disfrutes!!

[73DrtSprt]

all u did was paint it green get new wheels and tires and get a hood scoop..and it took u 4 years...

[curtiscorvette74]

There's more to it than that! The video just shows the outward appearance. This was a total frame off resto.........

Don't ask stupid questions like that!

[73DrtSprt]

y tho..it looked fine..u got rid of the rear spoiler. AHH terd..why man..still looks badass..engine??

[curtiscorvette74]

It looked okay before, but that black paint was in real bad shape up close. Both rear and back bumpers were bad as well.  I wanted perfection!

[73DrtSprt]

i see..well..im just gonna get my car to where its legal and go from there..legal and safe

[masteryoca13]

mmmm sugarfree gum color!

jk i'd kill for that ride.

[albymangled]

great stuff mate. I regret selling my 76 sooooo much now. they are hard to get here in Australia.

[melly6970]

I think I liked it better when it was black, very nice car though.

[mecarsabitrusty]

[vettemike77]

Sweet ride! I have a 77 Vette, its looks like we have a lot of the same ideas! I wanted to do the pipes on mine too, but I have angle plug heads and I think it a little to low now to run them. Save The Wave!

[litevette]

Nice job there man! I wish I wasn't so lazy and could get myself to get to work on mine. Yes, this vid is a good inspiration!

[curtiscorvette74]

I have a Firebird as well, but it's not nearly as cool as the Corvette! Thanks..........

[FLOGURFACE]

Very beautiful car ! I have a 74 out in my back yard collecting dust. I may get inspired by ur video to do something w/ it...nahhh prolly not !

[sllabymeugnot]

Beautiful car.  I have a green 96 LT4 and IMO vettes in green look great. Excellent video too.

[motoxkid92]
