*they're always ... **_"1 - Step Away"_** hahahaha LOL*

I wish you luck on your project. I'm currently doing a 71 and I know the work that is ahead of you.

Interested in seeing the rebuild after this tear down.

If you would talk a little you have a good channel

Can't screw up what is already screwed up.. lol.

I wondered if you had cut the frame structure of the roof. While looking for another 69 I found one locally that they not cut both roof pillars, they cut all away across the roof and frame structure. Needless to say for the work needed and what they asked for it it didn't end up in my shop. One day I will find my 6t9.

14:22 Some who understands that you learn as you go-along, regardless of mistakes that you can fix, with not wishful talking on how you are going to do everything, and 4 years later not done anything, Like they usually do on youtube!

You also should reinstall, set the gaps on the doors and trunk lid even before any tack welding of your 1/4 panels. But even before any of that you need to sort out the damaged rear right and left inner sail panel supports and brackets. Another thing is replacing the rear package shelf under the back window and setting the deck lid hinges/springs/and outer panel when doing the inner sail panel / 1/4 panel supports. 9:51 9:51 Gotta set all your gaps as well. Cheers

If new replacement inner supports aren’t available, go and repurpose the damaged rear inner sail panel components from another chevelle that’s not damaged and after straightening the existing crushed ones best possible with an Autobody porta power hydraulic jacking ram ,before replacing the damaged parts with the new or used ( repurposed ) parts. Good luck and cheers

Keep posting videos. I am doing a 71 Chevelle with all the same rust issues. Seeing your efforts, is like a walk through talk through before attacking my areas of rust. Thanks.

My recommendation is to do one part at a time

I would rather hear you talk about the project than the music. I would clean up the metal before putting anything on it to seal it.

Dang for $500, you got a deal. I remember the day we could get a car with hardly any rust for that. One day, maybe I will find another 69. Keep at it.. i know videos making is hard but will be worth the documentation.

My best piece of advice is stop using that flap disk. You are making the thin metal even thinner and harder to weld back together. Use a wire wheel to clean the rust off the joints to expose the spot welds and be able to see the layers of the panels. This will make it easier to see how all your panels overlap and how to separate them. Even with POR 15, you will need to get as much of the loose rust off the metal by wire wheeling, sanding, or by use of a wire brush first. Also, please do yourself a favor and wear proper PPE when working on projects like this. When using wire wheels, grinding, cutting welding, etc., wear long pants and sleeves, leather gloves, along with safety glasses and a face shield. The eye protection is cheap insurance against an expensive ER bill because you got some metal in your eye. Hearing protection is a must as well, unless you just don't care about your hearing. The rest is to protect yourself from being cut or burnt. Start buying the vice grip welding clamps in various sizes and styles. Harbor freight has them for cheap, and you will need a lot of them. Continue to search KZbin for as much information as you can about the work you are planning. Don't just search your vehicle but watch others doing full restoration jobs. One channel I would recommend is Foothill Paint and Fabrication. He has two playlists covering a '67 GTO and a '65 Malibu in great detail. Granted, he goes all out to do the job right the first time, but it's the processes that will help you out on your project. Another channel I would recommend is Paintucation by Kevin Tetz. He is doing a Resto Mod of a '74 Camaro LT and converting it to a '70 RS clone. My '72 Chevelle is stripped down to bare metal and just the skeleton right now. I'm in the process of paint prep to sand and treat the metal before spraying epoxy primer. My project was a frame off, and I'm finishing up year 2. I have a goal to be road worthy and drive cross country from San Diego, Ca. to Jacksonville, Fl. by June 2025. A huge task to accomplish in about 6 months. I'll keep following you to see how you progress and lend some advice from time to time.

just found your channel.. please keep up the video's.

Just a quick note. The quarter panels should be under the roof lip at the top of the sail panel. Also, make sure to hang the doors and set gaps as best as possible before burning those quartes in. Lots of frustrating adjustments will be needed. Nice work, keep it up.

Like your channel. Only thing I'd recommend is hitting the rust on the inner parts with a wire wheel before covering/converting. That kind of surface rust can hide pinholes - a lot of pinholes. As it's structural I'd wirewheel it enough to be confident it wasn't compromised. Dont need to get it shiny new but clean it off on both sides should reveal any holes.

rust convert before you por15?

Save your money 💰

I guess you're ruined a car😮

Obviously you never did that before. Because there's a lot more Is wellsHolding that thing on, but I'll let you figure it out.

Where is this car originally from? It is extremely Rusty. I live in Ontario Canada and I have a 72 Chevelle that was built in Oshawa and I have been restoring it. And it was not even close to that Rusty at all.

Keep on keepin on.

Lot of work went through all that Good Luck

Hope your a great welder. You need a straight starting point. Stop talking it a part. Start fitting the new together.

Great work!!! 😊

Looks like a lot of work. I'm up for the long journey. Let's go TEACHER.🏆🍺👍🏻

Awesome I personally admire 1970 to 1972 Chevelle's one of my dream cars. Definitely will subscribe to your channel can't wait to see the work.

😊

Day by Day

Lets Get It !!!

Fun project . If you add a knotted wire wheel to your grinder. You will EASILY EAT through all that crap. I've been doing this since i was 12 and I'm 54 this year.

Subbed, man! Looking forward to seeing more!

She is gonna be cool

Look forward to seeing the Chevelle in coming videos. I own the 1971 Chevelle I grew up it. Many found memories riding in it with my mom.
