I promise you I’m going to leave you 10 separate comments in the comments section to help the algorithm for every time you mention little Tiffany. You have made my household not only a place of laughter but also a battlefield. It’s amazing how little Tiffany aka my beautiful wife (she’s sitting right next to me 😳) loves these comments about her. Whether it’s about her being at the club with glitter or the backseat of a Camaro . These comments bring joy and happiness to us in the cold January winter. Thank you my friend.

My first car was a 79 Camaro. That was about 1996 or so. It was a POS but it always made it to the beach instead of school.

I bought a 1976 Trans Am when I was 16---Dad signed the paperwork and I still remember the new car smell. Cost me $5200.00 non A/C car. Brought back some great memories. Thanks

New car at 16?!? Dang!

I had a 1976 Trans Am and it was an absolute piece of garbage. EVERYTHING went wrong on it before it even had 50k miles. Too much to list. A money pit. I hope you had better luck.

[@daveallen8824]

Gotta love those F bodies - I am the original owner of a 75 Firebird Esprit; when I restored it 20 plus years ago, I swapped in a 455 - it certainly does a fine one tire fire. Wish I could say mine was as rattle free as your Camaro - it rattles everywhere.. Then again, it was almost that bad when it was new...70's build quality - no bueno.

Bypassing neutral safety is okay if you use the brake light switch to do it... ( so you'd have to be holding the brake to crank it because it thinks iti is in gear unlessthe brake lights are on )

[@lzlz-xv6oe]

[@kerryhickman2235]

Thanks for another awesome video!! I love these old F bodies. I had a 69 SS back in the early 80's & loved it!! I was a stupid 16 year old & sold it & have regretted it! Just a FYI, when I was younger I worked for a transmission shop for 10 years & I'd have people come in complaining about either the front pump seal or tail shaft seal leaking even after they put new ones in. You may already know this, but just in case you didn't most of the time it's because the frt. pump or tail shaft bushing is worn too much. The bushing is what does the majority of the sealing of the transmission fluid. The seals work more as a dust shield keeping things out of the transmission & will catch any residual fluid that gets past the bushing. You always want to check the bushings for excessive wear anytime you see it leaking from either place. Especially the frt. pump bushing because there's nothing worse than having to pull the transmission back out because it's still leaking. Like I said you may have already known that, but just in case you didn't or someone reading this has had this problem, maybe this will help!! Thanks for all of your hard work, plus all of the tips & tricks on repairing these old rigs! I learn something new in every one of your videos & truly appreciate it!! I love the longer videos as you probably can tell by how long this comment ended up being!!😂😂😂

[@compking30]

I think those wheels you put on there really took alot away from the look of the Camaro. The other ones with the white letters out really fit the car and made it look like a mussel car. Other than that great video really enjoyed it as old Camaros are my fav.

[@nick540g]

mussels are ocean creatures and do nothing to improve vintage cars.

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

I swapped my 308s out for 373s. That car was a beast, was my spare car pretty much, i had a 73 Charger RT as my main driver. That 78 needed too much work, so we connected sub frames and installed cage made dirt track car out of it. Dold a year later actually got more out of than i had in it. Was a fun car. Oh, the good old days. My old man was glad i let it go. I had a good jobb but it was expensive paying my own fuel and insurance et. Great vid Dave!!! You never disappoint!

[@sstvega]

Dan needs to thank you for all the advertising you do for his channel

[@MortskeRepair]

[@travisjohnson8565]

im a nurse at a prison, I had the inmates do the front and back seats in my 66 buick special with new foams and they repaired broken springs. and they cut new upholstery and it looks so fantastic. 775 for all, and they made the slide mechanism work again.

[@MortskeRepair]

Awesome!

[@bozodog428]

Great job on the seats. Someone is gonna love that Camaro. Did new bucket seat foam last year and after the first hog ring bite, I switched to zip ties and dumped those rings in the trash. Upholstery should be left to the pros!

[@robertbourinski8286]

We bought 2009 Mercury last spring. The back seat had a seam that came apart. The upholsterer wanted $300.00 to repair the seat, but only $25.00 if I took the cover off and reinstalled it myself. When I took the seat cover back to be sewn, the upholsterer charged me $20.00 and threw in some hog rings. I had to buy better cutters to remove the hog rings, but I managed to get the cover back on with cheapo hog ring pliers from Lowe’s( the pliers weren’t the best)😁.

[@larryd.214]

Good Morning Mr. Mortske! You and Duff got a great score there with this Camaro! The late 2nd Gens are my favorites out of all the Camaro models. The '74s also had the 'flat' back windows, like the 70 - 73s, but the '74 was the first year with the curved headlight tunnels. There's definitely never any of these for sale at a reasonable price around my part of the world, so you done good getting a good deal on this one. I've been a Camaro guy since I was a teen - my first was a '74. I've had another '74, a '77, an '85, and a '95 over the years, and currently have a 2000. The 4th Gen is my 2nd favorite - they're not very loved, so still fairly affordable. Always on the lookout for a decently priced 2nd Gen, though! Great stuff here!

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks for the info!

[@js7127]

Personally I like the start to finish episodes. No jumping around to find the next one. Love the OEM bracketry and pully's. I have a bin that any salvage motor gets stripped and contributes. They are pure gold when you need just the right fit or offset as designed.

That is a factory Roped Z28 Steering wheel that came in the Z28 Camaro's. Soak it in the sink in purple cleaner and scrub it with a stiff brush. It takes a little time but it works. I have 4 or 5 of these wheels. Their kind of pricey if your trying to find one.

[@MortskeRepair]

thanks for the tip!

[@jamesgrant9317]

Nice car. I have a 1980. The urethane bumper cars were 1978-81. That is the correct fenders for a 1978 Z28. It would have a different hood. Black interiors seemed to hold up better. Great find!

[@jeffdyer21]

Yep.. needs the hood. And the original gauge cluster inlay for a '78 Z is one of the hardest things you'll ever try to find. '78 is my fav year of the 78-81 Z models.

[@Oldobsfordsusa94]

Z cowl hood functions great on mine. White with blue deco's.

[@andrewphillips9123]

Mortske regarding the fitment of the seat covers, spray the outer edges of the seat foam with silicon spray. It makes it a lot easier to pull tight covers without the foam moving on the frame.

My first car was a 79 Z28 in brown. Had all the bells and whistles, a/c, cruise control, Ttops, 2 wheel peel. Put a mild cam in the 350 automatic, wish it was manual. I regret ever getting rid of it. Like the 78 you just showed. My Z28 mechanically was good, needed some body work that at the time I couldn’t afford since I was in high school at the time.

[@fullyloadedkustoms]

Blue paint on that Camaro looks really good a 3 tone Blue Z28 strip kit would set that car off. Taking those race seats out and redoing the old Camaro/Nova seats and putting those in did that Camaro justice, great video

[@drive42]

Good catch on the fan! My neighbor had some family come to McCook for July 4th several years ago. On their way into town, the water pump let loose on their mid 90s Suburban, sending the fan through the radiator. My neighbor, being a BIG derby guy, was able to come up with a radiator and fan, and the replacement parts were installed without problems. Since it was 105°F, they wanted to make sure the A/C worked good. It worked fine as long as the engine was cool, but when the engine was warmed up, no A/C. The engine would get HOT going down the road, even with no A/C. They were looking at the fan clutch when we noticed that since the water pump was driven from the smooth side of the serpentine belt, the pump (and fan) spun opposite of 'normal' rotation. This pushed the air the wrong way through the radiator. The right fan was installed, and life was good again.

[@tonyfriend7413]

[@JONSDIYM]

Wrong thermostat housing. Trim 1" inch off the belt @ the radiator side. In High school my best friend and I rebuilt a 78 Z28. That doesn't seem to be one though. We used a branch on a huge tree to pull the motor. Literally looks just like the car we did. Cool affordable car with endless possibilities. My buddy had moved to my town from Germany and he was and still is the craziest bastard I know. That was back in 1996. We still do projects together to this day. Two totally different people too... lmao he is a tattooist / artist / fabricator / musician. He has a 5k Sq. Ft. Warehouse flat / Shop We built on the west Bank of the Flats in Cleveland. When he obtained it it had 3 100watt lights & 2 120v outlets. My friend Chris is the most talented person I have ever known.

[@jojomorgan8556]

@Mortske So you're saying that whoever installed the electric fan half-assed half-assing it? Because putting it in was a half-ass way to go to begin with and they did a half-ass job of it....

[@legbah7]

General Lee you have to put wire, like clothes hanger wire in the sleeves or tabs that go in the seat. Then hog ring through the foam. Which lends to wire on both sides of the foam. PITA. 38:59

[@shawnrodgers5612]

Had same fan problem when I took electric fan off my 78 bronco. I had bought a fan from a wreaking yard it was a late model fan designed to run on serpentine system so rotation was backwards. Made my aftermarket round bar grill really hot. Went back dug through the fan pile found one with right pitch worked great after that.

[@corydriver7634]

Good tips on the upholstery I always wanted to see how car seats were done I’ve been considering doing this myself on my truck. You’re right about it being hard on the hands, I had a friend years ago that had to retire from the profession because his hands got so bad, he had forearms like Popeye. I’m not a big fan of long videos (short attention span) but I also don’t understand why a guy would complain about them…it’s not like you have to watch it all in one sitting. 👍🏻👍🏻 Good stuff dude!

That rear window thing is 70-74 .The 1974 is a odd year as they went too the al/bumper but they still had the short rear window .I think you have a Z28 as the front fenders have louvers in them (thats Z28 only) that steering wheel is what they call a Rope Wheel (Z28 only) that hood has been changed Z28 had a Tear Drop scoop witch is missing and no lower air dam's as all Z28'S had & I AGREE with you those seats NEED TO GO Burn them !!! .I always hatted those TV shows like Over Hauling where they took the factory seats out and put those "Dork" race car seats in there projects& I also hate guy's that get read of head rest on factory seats too .Oh just put a posi in it !Not trying to be a troll but those are 80-81 wheels 78-79 used JJ split rims or Turbine rims both 15". YES get rid of elc/fan..The rod your talking about is called the 'reverse lock out rod'.

[@_Dave_S]

Great stuff Mortske, that Camaro is a solid rig! Back many years ago when I recovered the front seats of a 1980 Firebird, I used dry cleaning bags to slide the cover over the foam for those upper front seat covers, and it worked great. The cheapo hog ring plyers I had fell apart at the swivel about half way through the job, so definitely get a good set of plyers!

[@donlandenberg8126]

Just a heads up, I had another mechanic put a serpentine waterpump on my car . It's a reverse flow pump. My engine overheated within a couple of miles. Once the correct pump was installed, everything was happy again. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@MortskeRepair]

thanks for the info

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

Super thin clear plastic bags like what you put produce in at the grocery store. Those work great to put in-between the foam and covers.. I figured that one out on my own many years ago AND you can get the bags free from the local Albertson's..

I would either put a stock converter back in of driving it more than once a week or if you are a weekend warrior swap out to a big cam, pick your poison.

Here for a rewatch. I am sure Mortske knows but some may not. If you have an open carrier rear end they make a mini posi that you can put in place of the spider gears without having to setup everything. It just bolts in place the spider gears and if you have a decent gearing like this does it is a perfect upgrade.

Much appreciated

Sir, with all do respect it’s impossible to hear a critique about a restoration from a man who refuses to even clean, most cars much less do any kind of body work whatsoever. Or talk about rust when he clearly doesn’t repair rust ever at all in any way..lol..🤣🤣🤣💯 I’ve watched this channel for a very long time.. so don’t misinterpret what I’m saying, I enjoy the content sir. Love goes out.

That's why I don't restore anything! I'm too pickyu.

1:24:16 The power steering pulley on my 85 F150 is bent a good 20 degrees. Somehow. Don't know how, was like that when I got the truck in '07. 150,000+ miles on it and it never threw a belt or even ate a belt. V-belts are pretty good about tracking misaligned and damaged pulleys!

interesting
