great job on the car! im restoring a '78 z28 myself. its goiong super slow due to money issues, and im leaving in june for the military so unfortunetly its going to be years before mine is complete. im redoing the entire interior right now, i went from original red to a custom black and red interior. i had the seats custome made and have red lights on the inside of the car. the outside is a faded red, but probably going to paint it black with red decals, not original, but whatever.
how much did it cost? i got another camaro in my driveway rotting away, i just need to know about how much to save before getting elbow deep in rust and grease
I've restored a lot of the 70-73 camaro's for bosses... None of them are ever honest about what they charged... can you estimate about how much you paid for the labor alone??
thats real cool resstoration video totaly awosome how you took the time to take all of those pictures of how it was before and after and you drive it like it was meant to be driven.Time for e new project?????
The "speaker box" is is actually a complete system with stereo. sub, amp and speakers and is removable (carpeted on the bottom) with a 12 foot lead on it. That way I didn't have to remove the factory AM radio and I still have tunes when it is just me and the wife driving. If we have passengers, you simply pick up the "speaker box" and take it out. It is GREAT at parties and BBQa, you can take it out set it on top of the car and crank it up (or anywhere within 12ft). Thanks for the comments!
I guess thats aight then. I try to stick to keeping everything as original as possible, but if its completley standalone then not a big deal. Howd you get it done in 4 months btw?? Did you already have all the money for parts? Did you have Alot of free time?
@SteveHOCP hey dont take this the wrong way but you could of made a plate to put the new radio in the glove box and the speakers in the back and made it alot sharper... thats just my opinion but other than that its a sharp car man
just bought a 71 to do,it needs help,i don't know why these people are fighting over this stuff,bunch of fucking retards or some kind of issue,i liked what they did with the car
i guess we need a youtupe for big people and let the little punks have their battles
i ve been there and done that, congratulations, i restored exactly the same car but with manual transmision, i know how hard it can get so congrats again Steve, the funny thing is that i did in my country, Argentina, where parts are really hard to get, i hope you still own it, i sold it a couple years ago and i still regret it
Nice work! Beautiful restore Steve. I'm a hardforum member, just saw a link to this vid... whats your best 0-60 and 1/4 mile with this car? Does it have a name? :p its gotta have a name ;)
reffup is talking about a different car, the one in the video is mine ;^) BTW, I removed the huge-all-caps-screamfest-F*@KYOU post, people don't want to read that kinda stuff.
Hey man don't worry about that guy if you really are 16 you did a hell of a job kid, you know what you got, thats one of the nicest Ive ever seen, I got the same wheels, speedo, and seats in my 80
The RS and SS packages could be combined on the first generation Camaros(67-69). The RS and Z/28 packages could also be had together. But the SS package was available with either the 350 or 396 engine only. The Z28 came with the 302 motor only. Their are a number of websites on the internet to learn more about first generation Camaros.
The "black paint" put on the shell of the car before the body panels is POR15 rust preventer. All the new panels were coated with it before reassembly.
The "mullet" hairdo was from 16 years ago.
I only did some of the work myself.
The "hot chicks" in the video are my sister (16 years ago), my wife and my daughter.
i was waitin for that pic... at 5:45 of you lighten it up... im 16 years old.. my uncle owns a 1969 camaro z28 ss him my father and i are just wrapping up a full body off resto. i loved every minute of it and ive spent every waking free hour of my time in the shop contributing in any way that i knew how...i just purchased my first car... 67 chezy 2 its going to be our next project as soon as we get the stamped floor panels... you got a quality piece of muscle on your hands man nice car

all 1969 302 CID Z/28 engines were stamped with engine code DZ, if your car is authentic, check under the hood.
