Mounting The Body To A Rotisserie For A Proper Frame-Off Restoration! Chevelle Restomod Ep.6

[@ESharp79]

hears "Hey everybody, how's it going? Thanks so much for tuning in" and immediately hits that like button!! 👍🏼

[@dlg5485]

It takes a level of patience and ability to learn as you go that I simply don't have to do a project like this. I applaud any "non-professional" who is willing to take something like this on. I definitely want to do some kind of vehicle restoration as a retirement project, but it'll be on a MUCH smaller scale than this. Much respect to you, Kyle, for just jumping in and figuring sh*t out!

[@seahawker7796]

I'm very anxious to see how this rebuild turns out Kyle! What I like most of all is this is a vehicle that most people would walk past and wouldn't give a second glance. Good luck and take no prisoners!!!

[@rleonekc07]

he's doing this restore the right way. That's so great to see him bring this bacdk to life.

[@Hampteronit]

Kyle I been a big fans of your channel for a while, keep up the great work 👍

[@sshrivaas]

Gotta love your restomod series Kyle! Keep doing what you do man!

[@korn111685]

Been watching since you were short filming startups at your parents lit. Love you man!

[@randywright4310]

Great video I’m getting ready to do the same thing to my GTO

[@Sheridantank]

Imagine doing this process on a modern car... I would have loved to be a mechanic "back in the day". These cars are so much more user friendly to work on.

[@RichieRouge206]

The rotisserie is awesome. Such a cool project!

[@randywright4310]

Great video I’m in the process of having my GTO doing all this thanks buddy

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

I definitely enjoy seeing frame off restoration of the Chevrolet Chevelle it should look awesome

[@hermyherm365]

Nice buddy I been enjoying the content!

[@andrewmiller120]

Awesome video Kyle!

[@billpar]

ive waited for nothing else but this Chevelle

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video kyle thats a really neat and very handy tool to have to be able to flip the body like that makes it sooooooooooooo much easyier to work with and will make it easy for futrue projects or prevois ones defianlly well worth it thumbs up and sharerd

[@byronherndon533]

Good work sir looking forward for you to get it together excellent job🙂👍🏽👍🏽

[@jellydoesstuff_12]

The wheels look classic! I even like this car!🙂

[@isaac24]

I always like seeing classic sedans. Everybody loves and bought coupes, so when I see a sedan, I always think of it as cooler, because it's harder to find.

[@Obschevking0423]

[@josephbulkley2767]

I definitely dig it as well

[@bohemialite6371]

Great job I wish you could fix America the way you fix your cars great job

[@Lauritsen24]

Great content keep em coming.

[@zoraizhassan6165]

Nice video 👍 give an update on the crew cab s10

[@Vaino_Hotti]

Wow, did you really get all the body mounts and tank straps off that easily? The car seems to really love you for restoring it.

[@saabkyle04]

Surprisingly yes LOL. I think it'll be pay-back time when we start fixing all of the rust at the rear!

[@JoseRivera-ym3wj]

After cleaning up the frame, I'm sure you'll take the chance at reinforcing the frame, especially in the key areas like the areas of the front and rear axles. They will see a lot more torque than what the frame can handle. This is becoming my favorite of your projects. Hope to see more of the 240SX.

[@jamesbeaman6337]

Couldn’t these frames from the factory handle the torque from the SS 396 and 454 packages? If so, why reinforce it? I don’t recall Kyle saying this one will have significantly more power/torque than that.

[@JoseRivera-ym3wj]

This came with a weak 305(?) small block. You're talking big torquey big blocks. But I'm not sure if frames for cars with big block engines would have the proper reinforcement for the weight and torque from the factory.

[@jamesbeaman6337]

True and I was making an assumption that GM wouldn't have a separate frame construction for the different engine options but would have designed it for the worst case power/torque. But then I have made bad assumptions before so it would be interesting to confirm.

[@saabkyle04]

To my knowledge, the big block/SS cars did not have any additional structural reinforcements. Bracing is a good idea depending on how the car will be driven and how much power you're planning on putting down. That being said, I don't plan on doing any additional bracing to this car. It'll have a totally modern suspension and driveline with a mildly built 6.0 LS. We just want to build a fun cruiser. It'll never be raced or autocrossed.

[@jamesbeaman6337]

@@saabkyle04 thanks much for the input and clarifications and good luck on the build!

[@mrchispa1561]

Want to see the 240SX!!

[@tommygholston2452]

Is the 4dr chevelle frame length the same as a 2dr frame?

[@robertlambert5299]

Kyle please post a link where to buy the rotisserie. Thanks!

[@imranabbasi7871]

Good luck 👍

[@Masonfox8272]

Hey @saabkyle04 how big is ur new shop like what’s the over all size and length of your new shop also what are you running for hvac ac in ur new shop

[@SopChoppyCopy]

Nice

[@gerredstallings465]

I think it's so cool christol wants to keep her grandmas car she will be so happy when the car is finished I think it was a good idea u got the car when u did otherwise I don't think it would have lasted much longer good luck with it by the way hope your enjoying the new house if you are moved in if not I hope it's close I found your page back in 2011 I have been watching your videos over the years

[@gulvergwalia2047]

Are you ever go to detail cars in the new shop?

[@DriftNick]

That is a nice roll cage, good to see you taking safety seriously.

[@StabTheDabb]

It's not a Roll cage it's a brace to keep the car from flexing when the body gets removed from the chassis or getting it's floors or floor brace cut

[@DriftNick]

@@StabTheDabb It's a nice side effect that it adds strength to the body but it's main purpose is to protect the driver in a crash.

[@jamesbeaman6337]

@@DriftNick that structure is only temporary for the restoration so will be removed at the end. The plan is for this to be a nice cruiser fro Christol and Kyle when complete, not a track car.

[@FulgerTheDude]

You need to make a tour of the new shop.

[@houseofno]

That car is amazing condition for a vehicle pushing a half century old. Thanks for the video Kyle! I have a question: is this bracing on the body still needed/recommended on a unibody vehicle as well as a body on frame vehicle?

[@JoseRivera-ym3wj]

Older unibody cars can actually sag in the middle. Since stiffness and rigidity has raised with time, later model unibody cars may not need as much bracing as the body from body-on-frame cars. Still, it's recommended to check for straightness on unibody cars and do proper bracing when performing restoration, chassis reinforcement, and stiffening techniques like stitch welding.

[@thatonefenderedition]

Any thoughts on the ‘69 Chevelle SS? Might go check one out!

[@kirbyswarp]

Buy a 2004 Toyota Corolla S instead.

[@antonparks9147]

So you can use a rotisserie for any car like your chevelle. Well can it be used for a ford crown victoria?

[@paulsyoutube468]

it would be cool if you could concider investing in a sand blast machine and the booth as well as a painting booth.

[@MC-ox1un]

If you don’t mind me asking, how much does a job like this normally cost?

[@adamkearney2050]

Are you gonna make a next restriction video.

[@carbonfiber117]

Sunroof & widebody work needed asap

[@TheMichiganMetalhead]

First like and comment!!

[@StabTheDabb]

You should do a 2 door conversion

[@ArKritz84]

If he wanted a 2-door, he'd get a 2-door. He's restoring this particular car for sentimental reasons.

[@wanderinggentile]

Look at the quarters on the wall. Those are hardtop quarters.

[@josephbulkley2767]

Thats a whole new nightmare going to a 2 door, its cheaper to buy a 2dr body, the quarter have to be modified, nobody is reproducing 4dr quarter reasonably priced

[@saabkyle04]

The hardtop quarters will be cut up and used as patch panels to fix this car. It's an area we have to do some "custom" work with being that, like Joseph said, no one is reproducing 4dr quarters.

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!! Well you certainly don't go half way.... :-)

[@fisherguy]

You're putting all this work into a 4 door?

[@eddierools]

An odd idea, but. I wonder if you could do something similar to what Ford F100/F150 guys do with using a Crown Vic chassis.... But instead of the Crown Vic, take like a '96 Caprice chassis so it rides more like a modern car.

[@Sheridantank]

Caprice chassis is too big I think. The idea is definitely there though.

[@Yasin5791-d7u]

Pls pls pls do a 240sx video. It’s been a long time since you made a 240 video

[@SassafrasSapling]

In ep.7 you should sand down the entire body and paint the entire car.

[@BobsGT235]

I haven't watched one of your videos in at least a few years. Wow, what happened to the guy that was going to school to become a pharmacist? Oh well, plans change. Good luck.

[@saabkyle04]

Must've been longer than that, I graduated eight years ago 🙃

[@NickeyChevelle]

With all respect: It's not often that you see someone put all that effort into a Moredoor.

[@spacefacegaming]

Yo what car is going to.look sick are u thinking about changing up to the wheels more like a hotrod look that would be sick for a Chevrolet chevelle ❤ hotrod/sleeper build !!!!

It's his wife's car. It used to belong to her father. So there's sentimental value.
