When I bought my 69 SS/RS it was sitting since 1991. I took it home changed all the fluids and started it. I was so excited I took it for a ride before checking the front end after a little while I pulled over and took of in a bit of a hurry. When the car took off the front end came up and took a hard right. I pulled over and checked the control arm bushings , they were almost non existent! Lesson learned! Don't get too excited and check everything first! Oh and I'm a Gemini so my split personality lets me watch both Ford and Chevy videos !

[@AutoRestoMod]

Jeff is too. It only gets awkward for him at Chevy shows what with his last name and all.

[@Motown454]

LOL!

[@AutoRestoMod]

Sid2vid, Thanks! We'll be tackling the rear on the Camaro in the first part of 2015.

[@sid2vid]

Sweet!

I really like your show seeings how I own a 67 RS Camaro convertible daily driver. I have to do just about ALL the maintenance myself to save $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. I also like the fact that you don't try to convince your audience how "cool" you are all the time like on some other well known shows on cable. Keep the videos coming, especially the Camaro videos.

[@AutoRestoMod]

We'll soon have a 1969 Z/28 in the shop so look for some cool interior and engine bay detailing videos.

[@6eightss]

Looking forward to more. I'm definitely a novice and not ashamed to say I learned a lot from this video. I also have a 68 that drives like crap, but hope to have it sorted for next summer.

[@AutoRestoMod]

We'll be hitting a lot this next week. talking about "why" and "what for" on suspension. Showing some install tips, as well.

[@sid2vid]

Great vid and great timing. I have a '68 Firebird that needs some suspension TLC. It would be great if you went over the rear suspension as well. Cheers.

Lots of good info here: www.pozziracing.com/first_gen_suspension.htm#Alignment%20specs

[@wikked805]

Do you guys work on Mopars at all?

[@AutoRestoMod]

Brownbear, we'd Love to do a Mopar, biggest problem is that we are waiting a local candidate that we could use. Local being in a 50 mile radius of Aiken. Plus we admit to a lack of knowledge on Mopar stuff. But we'd be happy to learn!

[@joneil2794]

AutoRestoMod want a unique or rare one ? I have a 1962 Dodge Lancer Gt rolling chassis Id be willing to bring ya... clean slate ... the most expensive stuff (the glass) is in tackt ..

[@AutoRestoMod]

J ONeil LOL our "on-time delivery of clean cars" is quite slow. For the moment we're just going to wade through our own stuff. But we appreciate your vote of confidence!

[@Rudderify]

Maybe wearing a seatbelt will help improve safety too...maybe not so much for the car, but imperative for the driver.

[@AutoRestoMod]

Yeah, Jeff was a numbskull and forgot to wear it. He's not use to early cars having those. But you are 100% right.

[@rytas]

AutoRestoMod the funny part about that is, HE installed it in the first place!
