12 Hour days: I Would Sleep in a car at the Body shop | Daughter Restores Mom's 1968 Camaro

[@stephenhayden2712]

I am now 71, when I was a teenager & for many years the 68 Camaro was my favorite car, these days I love almost all vintage autos, you are an awesome lady for keeping this car alive, keeping making good memories, God bless you and your family !!! USA,Virginia

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Thats awesome man, nice car indeed like you said seeing any classics is a treat nowadays. If you like this video and story you should check out more videos on the channel it's all about bringing back the nostalgia. Lots of cars and stories on this channel.... we are also building our own car a 1972 Nova. Thanks for watching Stephen

[@willyhwang1059]

love the 68 clean wheel arches understated 2 taillights lenses clean windows profile

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@willyhwang1059 agreed it's a great car the style was really good

[@Mike_sc15]

Love this story. First saw this car up on the road in Canada. Quite a sight to see. Really glad I got to meet the car and the lady

[@SubdivisionAuto]

awesome you got to see it Mike its a nice ride for sure

[@scario64]

Another great episode...Wow...talk about dedication that's amazing, all of the hard work she put into it, what a Gem.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Thanks Ross, yeah her episode is one of the most impressive to date because I have not seen anyone work 16 hour days and sleep in a car. As someone whos doing a similar restoration (as you know) I have a hell of a lot of respect for her. Not easy work, beats up your body, lots of time and money. But always worth it in the end. Thanks for dropping in

[@Eldude350]

Brings back memories, I once had a 68 RS, one of many muscle cars this 63 yrs old feller had.....Always love the stories behind the builds! Congrats to her for the love of keeping it in the family!

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@Eldude350 yeah man good cars. But for sure the stories make the builds so much better. the thought of a car rotting in a field for several decades then being used daily is really amazing

[@strokersteve468]

What a cool story! I've seen this car around, it's beautiful.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

YEah shes a hard working gal for sure. Any local cars youd like to see on the show Steve?

[@strokersteve468]

@SubdivisionAuto Yes, I know a guy with a couple of GTOs that are gorgeous.

[@maximilianmoskal4725]

[@areynolds9719]

Well done, both the video and the restoration. Enjoyed the family story, the Camaro and the presentation.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Glad dhou enjoyed it we are happy to have been able to share it. We have a lot do restoration stories on this channel if you wanted to see more. Thanks for commenting

[@jimcollier7869]

Really cool story. She did an amazing job.

[@jimcollier7869]

Early c-3 Corvette. If you haven't already.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@jimcollier7869 we did one with a 383. But season 1 old video. He swapped it recently for a ls so it'll be on the show again

[@KathrynGreco]

Truly amazing my friend! Congratulations!

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@KathrynGreco she did a great job indeed an inspiration for anybody looking to restore and enjoy a car 😎 hope you stick around and check out some of the other stories lots of amazing people in our town. Cherrs

[@rookierebuilds]

Nice! My dad had my current 67' since he was 18 or 19 back in 83-84. I inherited it as a stripped down roller and am nearing completion on the resto/build. I love seeing other stories of parents who kept their cool cars and their kids who now love and enjoy them. To many let there cars go and its sad.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@rookierebuilds yeah man getting lots of those stories for this channel. I'm all about keeping the legacies going and celebrating them. Thanks for sharing man hope you stick around. We did a really cool episode on a 69 on this channel it's pretty cool

[@carl5536]

I'm pretty sure that I would rather drive the car daily cause it's not good for em just letting cars just set alot plus all the work and attention the got from her throughout the years, the car deserves to be seen cause that's when cars were so simple to keep up compared to today's car's. I'm a retired mechanic and I wouldn't know where to begin to troubleshoot newer vehicles. The 60s and 70s cars I could just listen to the engine and figure out what the problems were and it was same with the transmissions and suspensions with the old school rides..I'm happy for her cause I'm pretty sure she went through alot just to keep the car in her family. Plus the amazing story is what makes it even better ❤

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Oh 100% agree with you. I've been lucky to do enough stories on this channel to learn how simple the old cars are and I actually ended up buying a 72 Nova. Doing the whole thing from the ground up and you can watch it on this channel. But there is something about the odk cars that's just aweosme. Yes new cars are way to complicated. At the same time I'm on the same page as you I believe cars are made to be driven So you will see us driving in the rain all year when it's ready to go. Not everyone does that which is cool but hey long as the cars are on the road not rotting away! Thansk for dropping in hope you checkout some more videos on our channel

[@chuckirwin7334]

Bring em back and put em on the road anyway possible, love this story keep bringing them. Awesome job 😂

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@chuckirwin7334 oh yeah they made it happen but for sure lot of effort. But no matter what it takes there is nothing better than seeing a classic on the road and seeing the happy driver 🙂 lots more stories to come

[@pamdunn8454]

great story - amazing woman and amazing passion , i see the donor car was a firebird , she really knows her stuff "one of the best car history's I ever heard" she should be very proud

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Yeah shows you how far dedication can take you. She was determined to have the car back on the road and here it is.... not only that but its her daily driver so she really gets the most out of it.

[@paulmurawski3683]

[@KennyFisher-io4dm]

Have owned my '67 Camaro SS350 4 speed 4.11 posi 12 bolt 49 years! Went on our honeymoon 44 years ago! Still looks new as it is a convertible and have kept in garage since '82! I love the first gen Camaros, as the body lines are the best of all Camaros, IMO! Own a '87 Grand National since new and wifes brothers '68 Cougar, 428 cobra jet w/ram air hood! Yesterday I met a Camaro enthusiast with a '69 496 and 6 speed trans, 4 wheel discs and it was the fastest car I've ever been in!

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@KennyFisher-io4dm oh wow that's a lot to digest! Love your story your are the 2nd person I met who's has his car for 44 years... There is a nova I really want to film that's been converted LS swap and he's had it for 44 years. Amazing history you have so I know this video tugs on the heartstrings. 68 cougar wow that's a great car one of my favorite all time great cars super cool. And into terms of the 6 speed that transmission is a game changer. I am building a Nova on this channel the series so entitled restorations and I plan to drop a 6 speed into it. Doing a similar restore to this story if your bored it's on this channel. Thansk for sharing your story!

[@CalebGibbsAvenue]

I shared this one.❤

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Thanks Caleb!

[@TheREALOC1972]

My daughter and I restored my grandma's 74 Malibu for her first car in high school, 12 years later she still has it. The only thing we changed was the wheels, we kept the original steelie's we just put baby moons on them because it only had 3 of the original hubcaps.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Thats really col and an awesome way to bond. Im sure thats pretty special for you and her as well.

[@TheREALOC1972]

@@SubdivisionAuto yep,

[@CalebGibbsAvenue]

B-roll was fulfilling and had some relatible moments, like the storm tidbit. Sent you a DM. hope that's ok.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Glad you liked it, ideas are always good thank you

[@silverstar4289]

Yep I had a Superbird in need of repaint in a side lock on a highway. Real pain in the butt.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Superbirds pretty rare cool cars

[@ricardofierro7041]

Those outside mirrors are for a 67 Camaro. Regardless nice restoration, especially black very hard to do.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Yeah black is hard to do for sure. We also have a 69 Camaro very fast car on this channel worth watching for sure. Totally different type of build but still cool story. Thanks for dropping in

[@joshuaruttenberg9508]

The first GEN Camaro had a steering box why why is everyone keep saying she’s got a rack that just won’t quit 🤷‍♂️

[@joshuaruttenberg9508]

The steering rack 🤷‍♂️
