Building A Budget TWIN TURBO 400k Mile LS!! Our $200 Junkyard Sleeper Gets A NEW LOOK!!

WHY AM I BUILDING THIS!?!… Let me explain.. I love this project because I wanted to show YOU DONT NEED a fancy car to have a “cool” car!! I think people don’t get into building hot rods today because the entry level cost of a car is so high now and people assume everything needs a restoration to be acceptable. You don’t need to go crazy and turbo everything but I hope these videos show people that you can build anything if you put your mind to it! Even if every one thinks it’s “junk” You can have the vision to make it cool! Basically I hope we can encourage younger guys to get out in the garage and build something cool no matter what it is. Thats why we created Rustomod we build weird unconventional cars that most people think are junk and make junk cool! Thats how we found our love for building hot rods and I hope we can encourage you the viewers to do the same. Imagine all the hate the original hot rodders got when they were swapping flat head v8s into Model A Fords haha …look at us now swapping Silverado engines into Buicks … maybe this will go to Pebble Beach one day..

Im currently building a 78. Love that someone else is showing these cars some love. FYI on the front suspension to save money all 2nd gen Camaro parts will fit. Coil overs are about $200 cheaper. Brake kits are cheaper and available. Good luck

[@Rustomod]

Ahh that’s good to know !

[@xozindustries7451]

It looks good, hopefully the tires won’t rub, cool build

[@slowshedgarage7409]

Great series of videos on this sleeper. Looking forward to seeing it complete

[@Rustomod]

Thanks!

[@mattdeckert6150]

Perfect hole placement, so the air bypasses the radiator... 🤔

[@alicemoon9008]

No Comment’s - Good 👍 Job …..

[@Rustomod]

Thank you very much!

Hi 👋 from Chertanovo Chopper’s Custom Club ….. Moscow City 🌆 ….. Russia 🇷🇺 …..

[@Rustomod]

Sweet!

[@ronaldredding8444]

the baby moons and drop are mint!

[@Rustomod]

Looks sweet

[@tinnelledwards6895]

Some black & chrome SSR mag wheels from jegs woulda look good on that car skinnies up front and fatties in the back but the twin turbos is not going to be much of a sleeper!!!😊😊😊😊

[@Rustomod]

Haha yes

[@atsidis]

Gotta take the stickers outta the windows to make unassuming

[@garyjones2582]

Front bumper looks great and hubcaps are nice...I'm not a big fan of all the lowered stuff, on that note it's your call and not mine.. Cars going to be very nice when completed....

[@Rustomod]

Thanks!

[@The_TOMMYRAZOR]

Looks better lowered than I was thinking, and rims def work for the whole style. Will you do a whole cost breakdown at the end?

[@Rustomod]

Ya kinda surprising how cool it looks and Absolutely will be cool to see how much it cost!!

[@isaiahrivera1720]

You can make pretty much anything look cool with the right stance and right wheels lol! I love different stuff like this

[@Gilmore304]

I appreciate the build but we’re really here see it run. Most that are tuned in are either mechanics, fabricators, etc and while cool vid we wanna see u gut this heffer. Y got to be in Oregon or Washington or somewhere out west cuz East coast these cars aren’t outside waiting for their final resting place, or at least in any salvageable cond.

[@Rustomod]

I’m in Maryland ?

[@Gilmore304]

This wasn’t a junkyard build then by no means. Prob family Friend or whatever but I’m less than 2 hours away from you and from Brine, Salt, and inclement weather “especially” off Chesapeake this car was not sitting outside then onto a build of any kind. But it’s cool and enjoyed none the less

[@Rustomod]

Check out the earlier videos in the playlist. You can see the junkyard that we pulled in out from the car has Hawaii registration on it and also Mississippi tags so I don’t think it stayed on the East Coast very much.

[@SaneCayne]

That's quite a fab shop you've got there! (Kinda undercuts your "budget" vibe, but still cool what you're doing.) I'm guessing you've got a huge bandsaw or a mill? If so, I'd recommend taking a wee bit of sketchiness out of those tall lowering blocks and slice off about 3/4" to bring the rear up a tiny bit. And they sell lowering springs for $100/pair for the front. I'd go that route and you won't be hatin' life while you're ripping around in this unit.

[@Rustomod]

Haha yah had to do a little custom fab stuff on it! Yeah plan on doing suspension upgrades once we get it going just need it low for now so I can see tire clearance for the exhaust. Thanks for watching!

[@Gilmore304]

But deceiving on thumbnail and round talk , ain’t he!
