Almost at this stage with my 68. My first time also, I'll be happy if mine turns out as well as yours did. I'm more of a mechanic and will be glad when I can get to that stage. This has been a long learning process, each step (at least for myself) understanding there are no shortcuts, and so much more to painting a car than I had first realized. Thanks for tutorial. Your car looks fantastic. ((sub'd))

What headers did you end up going with on this swap

👍👍👍

They need to make a front bumper to match

So this was a good video, straight forward, no history on the evolution of carriers, good hands on stuff, I like the ingenuity things like “If you don’t have this you could also use…”, good stuff, good job

Good stuff. I'm doing my first re-gear right now. Just gotta loosen the backlash a tad more and I'll be done. Subscribed

I love LS , thanks from Bangkok,,,,

Thats why i don't wet sand anymore because of the mess

I have a 1986 camaro i got the fitech complete with wire harness what about my old wire harness

Looks awesome brother!! Keep up the good work!!

Had to coment even that is 5 years ago dont listen watch or follow this crap its not how to do shrinking let alone panel beating at all totally wrong wrong wrong say again wrong how to wreck a dent 😅😅 dont do it

Will 600 grite wet do the job also?

Man, this is an amazing video! Great work!

Great work and perfect explanation. In the very past we did a lot of wet sanding and it was more common than dry sanding. Now it has changed to the opposit. I still like wet sanding exactly for the same reasons you have explained. Greetings from Germany

Thanks for posting this. Do you think it would be possible to replace the roller pin on the lower hinge without removing the hinge from the car? Trying to determine how hard I want to try to do that so I don’t have to remove and realign my fender on my 68. Thanks

Jake at the "3:00" mark...the door bars show severe flattening at the bend... what happened? What wall tubing was that and which bender? Thanks!

Great video

Amazing information!

Very well presented and done. I have to do the same on my 68 Camaro. Thank you

People need more than explanations , trouble shooting the process is what people run into. Easy cut and edit 🤷‍♂️ but decent video

Great Video Mate, Very helpful Im attempting my first LS1 rebuild for my Australian made 2001 Phantom Black VU Maloo R8 UTE 6 speed manual ... Im using GM Motor sport CNC ported heads as well as the Brian tooley valve springs with Ti retainers but using the GMM Street racer cam. I'm also replacing the all bearings and piston rings. specs Duration 231/243 Lobe Separation @113 Valve Inlet .617" Exhaust .623"

Looking sweet dude

Does this apply to clear coat?

What color is that

All good except for the sound way to low

Started wet sanding instead of dry & IMO it's a game changer. Finish is incomparable & cost wise, you're using fractions of the amount of paper compared to dry sanding. You can get a finish that really pings - makes a huge difference to the final product.

You can also use colored chalk to highlight the scratches or holes..😊

Ok just checking on ya . Always enjoyed your videos. Have a good one .

Haven’t seen a video in quite awhile is everything ok?

Hey bud, just ran across your video now. Got a little info . and a really cool "cheap" hack !! Number one , Jake when you see a dipstick and it isn't all chewed up -just a clean cut and you can tell this by putting this piece in the pan on the end of the cheapo dipstick that was in there. If they match up then it just cleanly sheared it off and you will know---don't be alarmed. Only be quite scared when you see a mess of brass and silvery metal particles on the pick-up screen and you should cut open your oil filter too and see how it looks. Then when you go to put your stock pan back on find another junk 350, take it's pan , cut the lower 3-4 inches of pan off the bottom of pan and you got yourself a damn cheap 8 quart oil pan. Just make damn sure you get or fabricate a correct dipstick for that motor now. Take Care!!!! p.s. we've(my shop) and I have bought, sold, and body-off-framed just over 400 1967-1972 Chevy/GMC 4x4 trucks, so needless to say we know alot of tricks !!!!!!!!!! Jim

Dude…you’re living the life. God bless all ya’ll

Now time to wetsand and buff, so tedious but worth it

What was the stock gear ratio?

What do you do of you burn through the primer?

Can you use duraglas without any Bondo

After you apply primer is it necessary to wet sand for a smoother surface

Absolutely awesome video!

What kind of spray guy did you use? The 3M guns designed for their brand undercoating are outrageous.

Nice color ,I still have my 68 to paint can't wait to see more

Nice video

Jake the snake 🐍…. Is your car ready yet? What are your thoughts on it after you used it?

I watched it to see how to install the leafs which you skipped altogether.

Did you have to shim the traction bars to get them level with the body or did you just tighten up the front bracket to get them level?

Just did my very first panel ever. It was a lid for my truck, very large. What a mess I made. I spent so many hours sanding it and I still missed about 10 low spots. I did guide coats but I guess I should of sprayed more because I missed so much. It’s obvious I didn’t know what I’m doing. It sucks to work so hard and get such bad results. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIOQlGRtbNujarM

Sounds good but not as good as a old motor. Nice car😊

how has this held up 4 years since you posted the video. any issues, would you do anything different? I have a 350SBC with around 340hp and would like to put in a Trutrac & 373 gears, can you share your opinion my possible set up

I’m sorry, but this information you are giving us is incorrect. Continued heating will fatigue, metal, and cause hardness which makes metal more difficult to manipulate using a hammer and dolly. Heat shrinking is meant to tighten up metal that is oil canning or is stretched at work or inward. But the heat itself is not used to remove lows or highs. The hammer and dolly is used for that after the heating. Then the quenching shrinks the metal back as does the hammer and Dolly. You cannot remove a low, with just heat. the metal hardens and causes more distortion overtime. Even though some of your tips are great, you are misleading individuals who would like to learn this the correct way. You are not doing it correct and I’m sorry but I have to add that because I am a collision repair technician that does this hundreds of times every year And there are plenty of videos on KZbin that show the correct process. But it is a process you cannot just use heat alone and expect a low or high to be removed from the metal metal does have memory, but it doesn’t have that good of a memory. Please watch some other videos of those doing heat, shrinking the proper way using the proper process and then practice this for years. And then once you become proficient at it, then you can go back and create another video and show people how it’s really done. I hope you the best and I hope you learn as you grow.

Nicely done and creating great memories for the kids.

180 on jambs ,that's much to rough and I don't know much lol ,I would go at least 320 or 400

Great job for you first paint job!
