Building my 1979 Z/28 Camaro

[@hinoramei7733]

Man, I'm glad your videos made it into my frontpage. It's awesome seeing kids working on some badass cars like this on their own, reminds me of the good times with my dad rebuilding old Fox bodies and Camaros. I felt the same way when I was younger with my first few cars, they were boring and not for me. I'm 30 years old now, and I own an iteration of the car I always wanted when I was a kid (tuned Nissan 370z with FBO) and it makes me very happy to see the next generation coming up and getting their own kickass dream cars!

thanks for commenting and the support! definitely more content to come with this car and i wish i documented and videoed the whole build. from now on anything i do will be videoed and such. thanks for commenting again and good luck with your car!

[@theinvisibleman2709]

Love your passion for the ole Z.. I have one too.. a 79 with an 80 front clip… building a 383 stroker with AFR heads… and a four speed Muncie … should be a blast !! Sure is expensive lol

[@Daytonskulldude]

[@unstable.musician]

I am so happy to see you upload during the worst week of my life (My paw best friend of 10 years passed away on the 26th) , thank you.

[@3generation_racing658]

i’m so sorry for your loss. i hope i made your day just a little better. sending my condolences ❤

[@80CAMZ28]

I'm glad to see someone young appreciate these cars. It's a beautiful car and I hope you plan to restore the body someday too!! 😉

[@brian70Cuda]

I'm so glad I subbed. This trip you have taken me on with the car is so awsome! My first car was a 68 Coronet I got for 75$ and I got a 69 Coronet wagon for the motor out of a field for 100$ (318). Replaced the freeze plugs and went on my way, I didn't have the coin you have, different times:) Thank you so much for the vids.

[@3generation_racing658]

Hey i’m glad your liking the videos! glad its taking you down memory lane. Thanks for commenting on the videos much appreciated! i also like hearing your storys! Thanks again!

[@user-ww7hw2jy1x]

Very awesome what you were able to accomplish in the time frame that you did! Thanks for sharing this with us! Enjoy yourself!😊

[@3generation_racing658]

sorry i just saw your comment. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

[@crazyfordrivingatyahoo]

It seems I watched your videos out of order. I used to have a 74 Nova that had a 350 4 bolt main 60 over. Strong engine. Sounds like I got some competition. Also, half of it is the car and the other half is you not being a jerk. You are a likeable guy. Stay that way and that will help the car culture be more relaxed. There are some overly confident guys sometimes but just be cool man. And humble. Don't let anyone talk you into selling your car. Not your girlfriend or a wife. Many guys have and regret it. I stood my ground and kept my 73 C10 Cheyenne super 10 with a 454. I had it before I got married. I'll have it when I'm not married.

[@MeanOldBastardBikerBob]

your father must be very proud of you !! 👍🟥🍁🟥🏍

[@Ezrakruseiroc]

Got a 89 iroc myself love to see the gen 2 getting the love it deserves

[@shootermcgavin2819]

That car scoots! You mentioned at the end of the video you want more power. Invest in a set of AFR Enforcer 195 heads. Affordable and will make that car way faster.

[@3generation_racing658]

sorry i just saw your comment… i actually was able to obtain a set of 6085 edelbrock aluminum heads that i sent out to be fully ported. thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Mothalovasince1980]

That things cleannnnn.. good work 👌

[@3generation_racing658]

thank you! much appreciated!

[@umakemerandy3669]

Love it man, very cool! Take a peek at mine too 😊 ai like your exhaust set up!

[@wyleybug]

Sick ass car dude, the fact that you built it is even more badass, love the channel and can't wait for more videos of it man!

[@3generation_racing658]

thank you! much appreciated and big up coming plans and vids for this car! thanks for commenting!

[@MrErnest18045]

[@blythe782]

I really like everything you've done keep up the good work,, i always wanted to do something like that , im a monte carlo fan i built a 1970 never got to drive it ,fell on hard times had to sell but i said to myself i built that one i can build another,,

[@stefanpolichetti2277]

Congrats on the Z, I had a 79 Z also, silver w/org and black decals. T-roofs with oyster interior. Regret selling that car

[@DarkWolfForza]

If you ever need some 3D modeling of your Camaro, I can help ya out, also a quick fun fact my step dad’s cousin’s the founder of Lucas oil. I helped my step dad’s cousin’s son Morgan Lucas a few times with his top fuel car and team with 3d modeling a new chassis for his old dragster before he retired.

[@3generation_racing658]

thank you! much appreciated and i will let you know if i need something done!! thanks again and hope you enjoyed!

[@lockdown7498]

Bro this is one of my dream cars, I wish I knew someone that could teach me how to work on them. Really badass

[@3generation_racing658]

with hard work you can do it! i got lucky that my grandpa and father have experience and taught me. my grandpa was the first to start working on cars and getting into racing. if your really into it maybe you can be the first in your family to start it! be safe and good luck!👍

[@heavyweightstav5562]

amazing video, gives me inspiration to record my camaro

[@3generation_racing658]

Thank you!! i really recommend you document your build! i wish i documented better as far as making videos instead of just pictures and a voice over. but it helps if you have to go back to see how something was or whatever. but thanks for watching and good luck on your build!

[@heavyweightstav5562]

thx for the luck brother@@3generation_racing658

[@turkishmurphy]

Nice work young man ..

[@3generation_racing658]

Thank you! much appreciated!

[@turkishmurphy]

@3generation_racing658 buddy ima keep watching you ..heck I might even send you a speed part or 2

[@3generation_racing658]

@@turkishmurphythank you for the support! more content coming out soon! taking the car to the track so we will see what it runs!

[@7D9Z28]

Fantastic work! Keep at it. I had the same car in high school too, but that was 44 years ago.😏. Brings back great memories. What size tire are you running in the rear while doing the CNBC burnouts?

[@3generation_racing658]

it is 275/60/15 Micky Thompson et street tire on a 15x8 chevy rally rim. thanks for commenting and thanks for watching!!

[@freshbutplain1144]

Nice! What headers and x pipe did you buy? Seems to fit well.

[@3generation_racing658]

the headers are a stainless steel street stock hooker blackheart set. they were pretty cheap. BUT the stainless steel wasn’t really stainless it was more so a coating so i coated mine anyway. and they don’t come with flanges on the end to bolt on the exhaust. we welded those on. part # 2552-2HKR. the x-pipe was a universal kit. part # SUM-642130. however we did something’s to make it fit better. we took a pipe expander to get more movement. thanks for commenting and anymore questions feel free to ask!

[@matthewlee5416]

Whats the chances of you still having the air cleaner? I just hought a 79 z28 and all im missing is the air cleaner.

[@1_badass_z28]

hey im in ny aswell im in upstate ny

[@carlosbradley9444]

Should have ran the pipes out the back

[@marklarson5148]

I have a 91 z28

[@mara-rrcchannel5942]

How much HP?? Thank you

[@3generation_racing658]

i would like to think 400 hp but it’s probably more realistically around 370. Thanks for commenting and watching!

[@mara-rrcchannel5942]

​@@3generation_racing658 Thanks for the reply, old engine with cast iron heads? Thank you
