Did anybody notice it was converted from automatic to manual ?.....I’ve owned a couple of 70’s Z28’s I miss them and they don’t make em like this anymore....beautifully done 👍🏻 and let’s not forget the amount of work put in to this....bravo ! 💪🏻👌🏻🇺🇸

[@austingudmunson7657]

Yeah it’s prob gonna be the kids car and he probably doesn’t know his way around a manual trans

[@Unknown-zk9vn]

Watching this video makes me excited to soon work on my 1979 z28

[@darrellknox1415]

Honestly same thing here just bought my 1980 camaro and already super excited to work on it

[@collander7766]

@Canada hahahaha ikkkkkk his looks so good. One day I’ll get one, you can get nice low mile good condition z28s for around 10-20k so it’s really not that bad

[@AnnaAnnaYes]

The last summer of the 70'S T-tops.Tube-tops.Short short shorts.We thought it would never End!!!

[@DSpeir-pi6tm]

I graduated high school in 82 . My father found a metallic blue 79 Z28 with T-tops in the local auto trader the guy was practically giving away after his wife damaged the oil pan and kept driving it till the engine locked up . My father is friends with a guy that owns the largest junk yard in town . By shear coincidence, a truck carrying brand new GMC Sierra 1500's to the sales lot jack knifed on the expressway destroying the load . The guy at the junkyard bought all the engines for the trucks . My father got one for $800 . We took all the pollution control crap off the engine and put it in my car with some blackjack headers . It was great. I love that car and wish I still had it .

[@fortuitousorder9705]

My friend had a similar Z28, but in black. I always loved that body style. There were problems with the clear coat and no matter how well you took care of the paint, the clear coat would just peel off. For those that don't know, I believe those wheels are Center Lines and they were very popular in the 80's. You have had to been there to appreciated them today.

[@albertbrooks8652]

Looks to be a Very Nice Father & Son project. I really Love these kinds of restorations. they remind me of my younger years, Car turned out Beautiful, Color is very Kool, HBC as usual, you put together an awesome photo montage of this Sweet Camaro rebuild. Thanks for sharing.

[@wyattcurtis1812]

well both my step dad and my real dad were both assholes and so i don't really have a father...

[@garethcollocott6310]

OMG, what a craftsman. That is nothing short of a stroke of genius.

[@MrEyad1990]

Nothing like father and son building stuff like that is just beautiful and makes me tear a bit .

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Good looking blue, nice wheels, remind me of the 80's Centerlines...

I had a 79 Camaro for a very long time!!

[@robertsweet4112]

I love that color blue. Turned out real nice

[@traderman4378]

Man nice solid car to start with. I am going to do the same with an almost identical 79 Norwood OH built. bright blue, 350 m-21 4 speed Z. You did an awesome job, love to see guys restoring these 2nd gen Camaros.

[@Skeeterpfr]

Wonderful job, I have a 79 TA SE t-tops that I did at home like you (except paint and engine rebuild), people think it’s hard, it’s not, just takes time. One mistake people make is they don’t refurbish interior, they buy new parts, not necessary all the time. I didnt have a son to help so it was a solo job, now my girls want the car that’s it’s done! Anyway yours looks fabulous!

[@antonincechlovsky7165]

I love it 😍 camaro z28 is my dream car. Car repairing is my life and my peak will once again renovate the Camaro z28.

[@codyglisczinski8680]

same here!

[@jonathangodbout6645]

Very nice restoration. I have my own 79 Camaro that I restored. Mine is at the other end of the spectrum mine is a Carmine red metallic 250 inline 6 3 speed standard with AC and a factory vinyl top. Pulled it out of a barn 3 years ago I only drive it on really nice days. Car had no rust. Runs like a Swiss watch. only has 42000 miles. Bought from the original owner who was in his mid 90s.

[@Skylinnk]

Great job guys, Just saying, It would be awesome if you let us hear the engines running

[@ljr7945]

Awesome restoration, but prefer the stock fanjet wheels

[@Thundarr995]

Hell yeah. I'd wear a Mullet wig & a white T-shirt. Cruise all over town in that bad boy.

[@GohanBeast]

Billy's car, hes lucky to have it.

[@franciscoojeda7271]

Love itttttt, and also its the one that billy has in season 2 of stranger things

[@GohanBeast]

exatcly.

[@javierruiz7756]

Wowww Beautiful restoration👏👏 Nice video

[@ChuckHickl]

Loved it. My Dad and I did similar on a 1974 Z28 in the mid 80s. Buddy had an '81 real close to yours. Great looking interior and rims are period correct sir! Centerforce I believe?

[@paulstephens3727]

Always loved that car . A friend of mine back in the 80's had the same exact car down to the centerlines

[@contrabandjoe7974]

Pu the original wheels and chevy caps back on......

[@dacrd]

X2

[@conradsmith9332]

Yeah I agree

[@schellone8097]

Huh? The Camaro Type LT had Chevy caps.

[@randiruiz96]

79' Z28 looks good

[@heathlewis8104]

Car looks great keep up the good work

[@brendasnider7158]

For my taste the nice Z28 hood would have remained and rims look a bit dated but the rest is very nice Ithink these late 2nd gen Camaros are coming back in style ,,,,,,enjoy!

[@2000cobraguy]

I agree. Not a Camaro fan per se', but stock type wheels and hood would make it close to perfection.

[@freechancefreechance7100]

Always in style for me , I always owned at least one .. lol

[@brendasnider7158]

Should have worded different I think they are coming more popular they were always in style !

[@mopower57]

My dad restored a Z28 just like this I think 1983/84. I remember going to the owners house and dad applied the Z28 decals. The next day the owner took it to a car show and won first place in its class with a 6 ft trophy. He saw the car a couple of years ago same owner and it still looks good. RIP Dad

[@austindaye3582]

The last year for this body style was 81

[@nickdavis8905]

I hope I can my 79 z28 to look that good . Great job on the build!!!

[@pabloeskit4911]

Y’all should start y’all own tv show

[@rjwintl]

great job, but I would have kept the 5-spoke wheels and had 'em painted black !!!

[@ethanpatrick8796]

I got a 1979 z28 camaro this make me wanna get back working on my first car

[@wakkywabbit5446]

Awesome job. My sister has one just like it but the color is more turquoise.

[@Hezkezl]

Man this video makes me miss my old '79Z28 I had back in the early 00's when I was in high school...was silver, and I always wanted to paint it a similar blue color to this one. Nice work!

[@Wannagobackto1980]

GREAT JOB guys!!!! LOOKS AWESOME!!!

[@tfjack97]

Iooks like you did a great job on the Camaro's body.

[@nestorcarmona4353]

Un vídeo muy original más a pegado a lo que cualquiera de nosotros pudiera hacer, no como las restauraciones de sueños que nos pintan donde gastan un dineral felicitaciones quedo perdón el carro

just the video i have been looking for my dream is to restore one of these as well. love what you did looks good, keep up the good work

[@codyglisczinski8680]

one more thing how long did the restoration process take you?

[@calvincooley1074]

My friend has one in this color back in high school. It had Hurst Hatches on it.

[@captainbuttnuggets4786]

Very nice

Great work. I love a good DIY garage job restoration. This takes dedication.

[@wheelanddeal5632]

Great job , awesome car , really cool you saved this one , it was well worth all the all the work . 👍

[@84montecarlonazi]

That turned out great nice job!

[@LoserwinS1]

I like that they aren't just wasting money on parts they don't need, they are using what they have available. A lot of 'professional' restoration channels would have just bought a new Z28 fender for $200+, but once you have the side scoop in I doubt anybody outside of the most seasoned camaro experts would be able to tell you it's not stock, and I bet it only cost a couple bucks at the parts yard.

[@rickwells9929]

Start with a good donor car and end up with something nice. It had good bones.

[@justsaying3841]

Nice car..

[@johnnydavis8351]

Very nice.... Love the paint color... GM paint code?.. Would have put a solid motor mount on the driver side... And... Maybe aluminum brake drums on the rear... Thank you for sharing your video.... Definately fun driving cars.... 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@dicktrickle4197]

Everyone is talking about the wheels, personally I like them. What I'm curious about nobody has brought up, the internals on the motor. No rebuild? Just repainted? You also got paint inside the heads, hope you got that out before you put the valve covers back on

[@austindaye3582]

I was thinking the same thing, didn't even bother to tape anything off

[@John-ze4qy]

Great job,bit i cant believe you would go to all that trouble and hang a set of $30 gauges in the console,when the Z had factory gauge package.You just had to make them work

[@timmoore8104]

Looks good just did my 79 camaro that bought new

[@djasilva541]

Gosto dos videos do canal Mas deveriam mostrar mais o carro depois de pronto

[@ramonsotopichardo7281]

Awesome car Camaro

[@Muhnster62]

Dog-dish wheels + drum brakes = brake fade/disaster. Wilwood disc's on all four corners and hotchkiss suspension would be my add-ons. Good job on the resto !

[@jubjub905]

Muhnster62 thats a good chunk of change to do that.

[@danielbarron1046]

chingon chingon

[@thewilddinkus8026]

When I realized how important it was to get kids more interested in cars I turned my 1978 camaro into bumblebee from transformers. The next car show I took it to I turned alot of heads. Here you have these guys with 40k or more in a car and watch it like a hawk and then me with my car letting kids sit in it and touch it. Won 3rd place and made a few people mad but enough people liked it that I won an award so...

[@thewilddinkus8026]

I would never do that to my 79 t top or 81 camaros or my 49 buick straight 8 super but I have no regrets doing it to my 78

[@austindaye3582]

Bumblebee was a 75-77 Camaro

[@MrTikutops]

That´s awesome!

[@zacharywatters1843]

Gorgeous

Blue no it goes Chevy red orange man Chevy motors go Chevy red orange if u like the blue that's cool to I was always told Chevy red orange the motor gets painted but still u doing a dam good just my brother

[@cars929]

Sad to see how peoples hopes and dreams can disintegrate like that because of lack of auto experience , grate resto btw

[@riotautorepair9662]

At that point I'd just buy a new one in better condition. I'm all for restoring cars, I've built a few in my time, but it's important to realize when something is a lost cause

[@huntertemple5726]

Beautiful car, how long did the restoration take?

[@codyglisczinski8680]

same question i asked two months ago. till no reply so dont expect much response.

[@fernandoromero3724]

EXCELENTE!!!

[@brandonstevenson3356]

Restoring this vehicle must’ve cost a lot of money

[@schellone8097]

Never liked the steering wheel, and replaced mine with an OEM 3 spoke chrome and wood one, it never got too hot or cold to steer barehanded before the AC or heat kicked in. But even with a Hurst 4 speed manual shift, and a 350 4 bbl V8, my black on black '79 Chevy Camaro Z28 was still a 165 HP slogger.

[@johnchalleen3278]

Nice, the plug wires looked like hell but I'll forgive ya.

[@danielaguero3766]

OMG that almost looks like my friends car from high school in California it was not common to see that body style with a stick shift my friend had picked his up from out of state the only thing he did to be different was to put Star Wire wheels on his of coarse he had the original rims if he ever wanted to put them back on . Wheels that are on this car in the video are from the era of the car so not to unusual to see them on the car .

[@javiersanchez1661]

I found a 1980 Camaro body for 1500$ no motor, or trans. The body is solid just has light surface rust. I'm thinking about getting it. I can pull a motor from the scrap yard to get it running.

[@diytypeofguy6502]

Nice

[@izom]

awesome- !
