68 Camaro... First Drive in 21 YEARS!!! Part 4

[@blackwolfspace-cowboy121]

Matt: Can we wide body it? Brandon: No, we're not gonna do that, but the engine sounds great. 🤣😂🤣😂

[@bradleyborrowman2115]

I think it’d look sick wide bodied 🤷🏻

[@mhale45]

​@@bradleyborrowman2115it would look sick but the idea was for this to be a restomod style build so it has more power and there are minor changes from stock but still looks like a stock car

[@bcole4726]

Years ago in hot rod a man named Lucas Tanner built a real wide body Camaro and it was sweet.

[@Natsirt666]

had me rolling xD

[@EARTHWINDFIRELANDWORKS]

Brandon at Muscle Rod is like Matt’s big brother trying to talk Matt out off poor financial decisions lol

[@jeffh4505]

While benefiting from his poor financial decisions

[@schneekitsune1475]

Or at the same time not wanting another crazy project to deal with

[@johnnysouza5601]

​@jeffh4505 if anyone deserves that benefit it's definitely the person trying to talk him out of it.

[@joeyboggs5640]

Can we get Brandon in more videos??? The friendship chemistry and banter is awesome!!!!

[@greggollaher5053]

I agree, perhaps more car projects. Maybe some specialty vehicles for service at the resort, people and equipment carriers in the muscle car or ranch stang style.

[@timothyodonnell8591]

The original broken part hanging from the rear view mirror is classic!

[@hemidart7]

Till it swings and cracks the front windshield

[@viper6952]

I enjoy the brother dynamic between Matt and Brandon. Very genuine and so much fun to watch, hope Brandon starts posting vids again soon!

[@Joshua_McClain]

Absolutely love this car. I think this has been my fav car you’ve done. The sentimental value makes it so much better.

[@countrylifetales2700]

In the early 70's, a friend of mine put his 68 Camaro up for sale. It was green with a Hurst shifter. I wanted that car so badly. He brought it to my parents house and I tried to talk my parents into it, to no avail. That car was badass and I've always wanted one. So, I'm loving this series.

[@colink4710]

My all time dream car. Growing up my dad told me stories of driving and racing early Camaros and I’ve always wanted one since. Thanks for making us part of this project!

[@catchincolds]

Brandon is the freaking man! His work is beautiful and the people he employees are obviously top tier artists. I can only imagine what it costs to have a car rebuilt in such a short time. I love the look of this car.

[@bradclifton5248]

4.3 million viewers and free advertising is worth every cent. Ps what can they do with a Mitsi L300 van? Lol

[@hemidart7]

Pretty fast when the long tedious work is body and paint, which they didn't have to do

[@act4231]

Yay it's done! Props to all of their hardwork! Cannot wait to see his father Reaction! ❤❤❤

[@kdensadrummer]

I can’t wait to see his dads reaction. Give us part 5 right now, Matt!

[@CarcaineAnThings]

“Can we widebody it” “Yeah no we’re not gonna do that THE motor sounds good tho”!😂😂 love this channel

[@xcellerated207]

It's good to see somebody so young that knows how to tune a carb!

[@BIGGER_RED]

Has Mr. Brandon been in a Demolition Ranch video at the range? He is hilarious!

[@gw163]

Needs to bring an engine block and throw a few .50 cals at it

[@greggollaher5053]

I agree, he's obviously good at what he does, and he's good at thinking on his feet.

[@kentkelly5301]

I am soooo looking forward to seeing Dr. Lee's reaction when he first sees it!

[@bigslumpo9699]

Wow, Brandon and muscle rods work ethic is incredible. They rebuilt this car in less than a week

Have you not been paying attention. It took a month. Which is still amazing, but it's not a week

[@fastdude2002]

But it will be so cool when every vehicle is electric……not.

[@NotKev2017]

Looking at that car makes my heart feel so good. I'm proud of you for keeping it (mostly) stock from the factory. I was always a Mustang fan but this car came in a close second to it.

[@SVMSICE]

I had a 69 Camaro that I got when I was 17. It had a 3 speed manual transmission, a double pump Holley carb and an Edelbrock high rise manifold, headers with header mufflers, Cooper Cobra tires and was painted a 1970’s Ford Blue, which was a dark midnight blue color. The 60’s Camaros were my dream car since I was 6 years old. 67 is my favorite because it has the wing windows. I wish I had just parked my 69 at my mom’s house back in the day versus selling it. I was just a young unstable buck when I had gotten rid of it.

[@davidmcgahan5328]

This series of videos are awesome !!! I like the way we don't have to wait for the hole month to see them very cool idea.

[@kennycarder2211]

That big block sounds sick , that’s my dream car , your dad is going to love it , thanks Matt for sharing it with us , Paul did a great job 👍

[@joeborders]

Dropping a monster engine in it and keeping the drum brakes. I like it.

[@greggollaher5053]

Fast cars are about going, not stopping. The drums are fine, I'm sure, probably.

[@waltreal]

Love chevy Camaros. Build is definitely coming along. Love the content and who ever edits these videos is a beast. Can't wait to see the completion and pops reaction.

[@GuyConscious]

Looking forward to seeing your Dads excitement! Take care of yourself down there, Matt. I hear things are getting pretty wild..

[@Blade5067]

man i cant wait to see matts dads reaction this was a cool journey

[@mattj630]

Daily videos on a project like this is great. Keep it up, can’t wait to see your dads reaction!

[@jerrycrow4901]

68 Camaro is my favorite muscle car. I had two of them at one time, I didn't have the knowledge and tools to finish them so I sold them. Some day I'll have another one!

[@patcoder7308]

Awesome display of power!! Big block !!! have to have center caps beauty rings and all the chrome trim

[@crhodesny]

That's sick! My dad had a camero like that! He passed away when I was young ! Someday, I want one like that! Great job!

[@Loki-33]

Damn, i love that sound. Always wanted a Camaro with a 427 in it. This one is even nicer.

[@m_akbar94]

Seeing David pound Brandon's fist feel so great 3:27 Brandon seems to be a wonderful person and friend, a man whom you get along with from the first meet ☺️

[@debrawondergem1528]

Hi Matt, my husband was a master mechanic and served in the Army Corps of Engineers. Whenever I said “motor or engine” incorrectly I heard about it. Engine is used to refer to an internal power source ie: gas or diesel. Motor is used to refer to an external power source ie: electricity. I think this is a “kick the dog” response (on my part) to your referencing motor and engine the way I used to. I was chastised unmercifully for awhile. (Slow learner😅). Hugs from sunny Arizona 💖😎💖😅

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Sounds incredible! Big shoutout to Muscle Rod Customs. No easy task in any way putting together a car that fast!

[@grooveguy]

Close to my dream car. 1969 Z28 but definitely wouldn't say no to this beauty!!! Nice job Boyz!!!

[@lleemon]

Editor of these videos - keep it up. Doing great job. Content helps as well.

[@jrcawthon5626]

This makes me miss my 68 RS Camaro so much. Those are sweet cars.

[@Hillbilly-Tech]

Beautiful car. I really love to see the old Hot Rods modernized. I'm fairly certain Brandon's shop has a motto of "If the customer is paying, We'll do it!"

[@anthq_x]

Truly an awesome car 😍 also the fact that you restore it "practicly" stock is amazing

[@Brando_Magnifico]

Those stock wheels give it a COPO feel without being a poser! Love it!!

[@greggollaher5053]

I agree! I couldn't put my finger on the look, but that's it. COPOs were all business back in the day.

[@gunfunandstuff9226]

Wouldn't it be something if on the way home, Matt is stopped at a red light & his dad pulls up in the next lane? 😂😂😂

[@JamesS.254]

Wana Race old man?!!

[@kevinroberts9580]

Brandon is like Matt's really cool cousin 😁

[@ronfowler6873]

This is so awesome Matt...I love 68 Camaros...there was an older kid at my school that had a matte black 68 Camaro that he painted the Bat Signal on back in the 80's and I've been in love with those cars ever since

[@TeamGeezer]

Matt, a suggestion from a former Big Block Camaro owner. Look at the Rally wheel in 17". It will look very factory and still allow an excellent tire selection. Please don't go all ghetto with stupid 22" inch wheels, they look like crap on older cars. Alos, lose the 4 speed and put in a 5 speed with OD. You are already well into resto mod territory and once you hit the highway, that 5th gear will be sweet, unless you actually like doing 60MPH at 3400 RPM.

[@Mark_Spivey]

I think he may be better of going with a Gear Vendors Overdrive.

[@TeamGeezer]

@@Mark_Spivey - I disagree, the GV unit is stout, the newer Tremec kits are literal bolt-ins and according to Matt, this is just a cruiser.

[@maddmaxx6730]

Just in case your dad doesn't want it, I'm here for you Matt. I'd be happy to keep it safe for you. 😊😅

[@susanintermoia905]

Beautiful and great job. You are a great son. Love your connection with your dad and your family. I am sure he will love it. Be safe in that heat

I’m glad Brandon’s crew got it done in time and didn’t lose the shop.

[@kyles5513]

That's one of the coolest Camaros I've ever seen, love how you kept it lookin old school.

[@Grayman_WWJD]

🔥❤️‍🔥 now that's a real American car.... Period ❤️‍🔥🔥

[@LLudicrousS]

Dude, this quick series is awesome. The car is also beautiful.

[@derbydriver]

Matt it’s perfect as-is. Maybe some center caps but the wheels look good even as they are.

[@vincedibona4687]

Need the chrome trim ring and centercaps on those rallye wheels! I still wish you had found a 396, but the car looks and sounds sharp!

[@Brett_is_Veng]

thats the way a car should sound, its a thing of beauty, definitely what you should have done with the barracuda. Such a wonderful piece of automative art

[@MissFancyClancy]

Wow, what a beauty!, Love it! I had a 68 SS Camaro. Was one of my favorite cars. So disappointed though your tires don’t have chrome on them. Every 68 vehicle had chrome. I always think tires like these on a vintage vehicle, look like they’re missing hubcaps. Just my old 70’s gal viewpoint! ❤

[@carlaortiz1538]

It came out beautiful ur dad's gonna love it!!

[@lorditsprobingtime6668]

Absolutely gorgeous! She sounds awesome, seems to go great and looks fantastic! I'm a little surprised I really like the look with the black steel wheels and just the white writing on the tyres for a bit of contrast. If your dad doesn't want to take it off you, he aint human!

I think this is your best car build yet. While the 5 ton was awesome, and the C4 ZR1 came out great, the Camaro is going to be #1 when it's complete.

[@ClassicAutoRescues]

I know you already ordered different wheels. But those stealies are so freaking Hot rod. I love them so much. Stealies with white letter tires are probably my favorite hot rod look.

[@ddsmaillady]

I cried watching this.. my step dad had one also green back in 1973. I wanted that car when I got older and was told it would be mine. My uncle who did not like my step dad threw a couple of flares in it and burnt it, along with the dream of it becoming mine.

[@DebR57]

Matt and Brandon are the best! Oh I can't wait till I see you surprise your dad... I wonder if he will hand over the title to you, if not like you said, you'll end up getting it sometime!

[@Nunya11672]

I LOVE the way it looks on those steelies!

[@crazynova23]

It’s looking amazing. The stance and wheels and tires need some work but that’s all.
