I just watched a commercial for seafoam, rock auto, wyotech, summit racing and matco.

Ever listen to nascar driver talk? Listen to Jeff foxworthy talk about those guys.

[@starbattles1]

When using that kind of spray glue it's like using contact cement. You have to put it on BOTH surfaces, let tack, then stick together. (If you want it to last) The way you did it is exactly how a crew in Florida did it when I was sent down to see what the problem was. Humidity was causing it to release. The crew had no clue why. I looked at what they were doing, and was exactly like you did. Barely put some on one surface and stuck it. I applied it liberally to Both surfaces, wait till tacky, stuck together, and BoOM.... No more problems. That carpet WILL start to release one day with in a year. Just the season change (drastic change in temp) will do it.

[@413x398]

You are 100% correct.

[@chriseudy4684]

@@413x398 gotta let it leg up. Put it down, pull it up. If you see strings of glue called "legs" you are tacky. Got to read the can. But contact works that way.

[@413x398]

@@chriseudy4684 I leased out a part of my shop to a pro level upholsterer back in the 80's. I had him cover my customers' subwoofer boxes in various materials, and I picked up many little tips and tricks in the process. The double spray was one of them.

[@chriseudy4684]

@@413x398 definitely legs gotta have legs. Talk to a glue mfg. I set tile too and back butter is a pro technique. Yes both surfaces maximum adhesion. We could talk all day.

[@fryreartechnology7611]

My wife and I have talked about resto-modding one of the late 60’s(68 or 69) like this but using a BMW 535xi for the drive system. AWD, 6 speed and straight 6 power plant with 300hp/tq that can push 500rwhp with minor minor work on the turbos and still get over 25mpg too! It’d be nice to have the AWD and simple BMW system. I work on BMW so they are easier to me because that is what I know best and have tooling for

[@oscrthgrch7]

Our family car growing up was a 1966 Mustang, and the seats in those aren't too great. But when I got my 1968 Camaro, I was shocked to realize that the seats in it were worse than the Mustang's! I went from the original seats, to some from a boneyard out of an early 80s Camaro, and finally to a set of Recaro Sport seats. But they turned out to be no more fire resistant than the rest of the car.

[@Clearanceman2]

That car is so clean. Here, cars 3 years old have more rust than on that car. The first winter here, your suspension will start to develop light surface rust.

[@martinhorvath1910]

Nice

Can you install some car seat anchors in the back seat so I can take my kids for a ride?

Whats the wheel & tire combo on this car?! They look good 👍

Happy Halloween!!

[@johnmilner7603]

I hope they paint the hood red cause it’s not a Road Runner.

[@chriseudy4684]

It's a boxed in hood. Shows that off good. Flat black for a true racer.

Dear Powernation, where do you get your background music from? The riffs arr awesome and would like to learn to play it on guitar. I asume it would be from some royalty free service but which one?

[@koza2]

Looking awesome! But oh my, the adverts on the app are annoying. Normally not a big deal, but when you replay the same summit racing ad back-to-back 8-10+ times, I just turn it off and wait for your KZbin release 🤷‍♂️

[@williamaskeland2171]

What about seat belts? (front and back) If you don't put seat belts in the back then you may as well do a back seat delete.

[@robertelee6712]

They call this modernized? LT4/T56 engine combo with DSE front and rear suspension would have been appropriate. Modern Camaro seats and one piece headliner is modern mods. The paint job looks cheap and unappealing. This is a iconic car that wasn't given the modern touch. This reminds me of the early 2000's.

[@willisknotme6042]

Why didn't they confront the interior rust and use arp fasteners for the seats? OK maybe this has a budget. Who knows nice car either way good job guys.

[@billflk2364]

He was showing that ball joint tool and the gage showed 5,000 lbs, and the guy said it was 5 tons lol, but it would have been 10,000lbs for 5ton, 2,000lbs is a ton, so it was 2¹/² tons not 5. Lol

Snake oil salesman. And I guarantee the usual suspects of MAC, MATCO, SNAP ON and all the other giants manipulated shitloads of cash from those vulnerable students. Just like the construction trade, it's who you know. Hope the find a job they are appreciated at. I'll pray for them, GOD bless.

I used to be an auto mechanic and there is not a lot of money there at all. All I got from it is arthritis in my hands and a bad back with some hearing loss on the side. Not worth it in my opinion. Now I'm a network engineer for a telecommunications company and couldn't be happier.

If they're taking the time to modernize the car and put all new parts on it why not put good Dynamat on the floors ? That old school insulation is just going to make it a Rattle Trap
