Saving A Junk Yard Split Window Corvette. The Scalped Split Project Introduction. How Will I Fix It?

[@jimpanzer07]

If you can fix this you should call yourself Mid Year Houdini, takes some serious skill and a bit of magic😎

[@33milegarage34]

I just found your Channel today. Wow! Intense project! Looking forward to seeing your process grafting all the panels together and your progress.

[@OutontheRanchwithDrLee-xb4lo]

Wow! Yet another diamond in the rough.... But this one's about as rough as they come! Will be lots of fun to watch! Great video!

[@MidYearMitch]

These projects like to find me. This old gal looks rough but I can see how to smooth her out. It’ll be in its new home before Christmas.

[@wardmontgomery9259]

Now that is Exciting -

[@MidYearMitch]

Thanks! I’m excited to make this thing look like a car again.

[@brianonthego]

You sure do look at the bright side. You have the talent.

[@MidYearMitch]

Thanks Brian. I try to. I like to look through the damage and see how to fix it.

My Uncle was a body man way back in the 60's..him and his friends were all Corvette people. My Uncle says he spent a lot of time cutting the rear window brace out of cars and putting in the one piece glass. He says " I wish I had saved all those parts !"

[@MidYearMitch]

Oh man if he saved those parts he would have a small gold mine on his hands.

[@jimballardband]

👍🏼😎another interesting project. Resurrection of the split-window.

[@MidYearMitch]

Thanks Jim. It’s fun to put them back together.

[@bobdavis3389]

Oh man Mitch , you've got your hands full with this one . I know you'll make it look easy but it's not , only a man with ingenuity , vision , and talent would take on this project .

[@MidYearMitch]

Thanks Bob you’re too kind. I like to challenge myself and push myself to fix new problems. I find that to be really satisfying.

[@johnkelly6942]

It’s nice all those loose parts are going to find their new “forever home”. It’s going to make a great car!

[@MidYearMitch]

I enjoy taking all these parts that have been taken apart for decades and making a car out of them. It definitely gives me a feeling of accomplishment.

[@TRyan-op2jo]

“Because of the way that it is…” hehe. You’ve been watching Mortske. 😉

[@MidYearMitch]

Haha I’ve never watched him. I’ll have to check him out. I stole that line from vicegrip garage.

[@MrTexasDan]

Hey there Mitch, Wow, this looks like quite the challenge! I wonder how many insanely-expensive 63 coupes were destroyed by having the split pillar hacked out of them. Oh well, I guess they had no clue at the time. Well, you seem to know what you're doing, so I'll leave it in your capable hands while I sit back here with a cold beverage and supervise. 🙂 Take care, Dan

[@MidYearMitch]

Hey Dan thanks for the supervision! This old gal is shaping up nicely. Something tells me that a lot of them had that bar hacked out. That’s heartbreaking but now they are popular again lol.

[@johnvaluk1401]

Thanks for the update will be looking forward to the progress of this one!

[@MidYearMitch]

Thanks for tuning in John. Plenty more updates to come.

[@my31and37]

Amazing that project SWCs are still out there, even really rough ones. Will be fun to watch the revival of this one

[@MidYearMitch]

Oh yeah it’s pretty crazy. They were squirreled away for years. There are still plenty of honey holes out there.

[@efrainberrios8494]

Hey man you always have great projects!…another like!

[@MidYearMitch]

Thanks man! The projects find me lol

[@MEANSTREETAUTO454]

What a pile of junk !! : ) I have done this with jeep CJ 7s . You gotta love em to do what you are about to do .

[@MidYearMitch]

It takes a special mindset to see through the damage and junk to see the light at the end. Once you have that mindset the projects practically build themselves.

[@pbush5440]

Always good to see another Friday afternoon video! Are you keeping this car?

[@MidYearMitch]

Thanks for watching. Nope this one is going down the road. I “only” have my red 63 and my white 67. All the rest at this point are spoken for.

[@DennisMurphey]

You are very brave but I love the work you do. If you find a body a 64 Convertible who much do the sell for after your are done. Restomod not Restoration. Dennis

[@MidYearMitch]

Hey thanks Dennis. Send me an email at [e-mail]. I might know of a car for you. I’m working on partnering up with a couple companies so we might be able to put a package together for you.

[@peterwilcock9125]

I have just bought a 1965 C2 Coupe 327 side pipe car in the UK .. The car is my profile picture ..The car was owned by a USAF service man based here in the Uk in the 1980s ..How do i share pictures with you? I would like some advice ..

[@jasonrackawack9369]

Looks at destroyed classic vette...."eh a little bit of glue will fix that".....😉

[@MidYearMitch]

Haha now you see the method to my madness.

[@jimrains8314]

This is going to be one to watch. If you start only eating crackers and start talking like Elmer Fudd, back off a little bit. This is a whole new level of rebuilding from scratch. Sounds like you have a good plan of attack. Get to it and have fun. You have our full attention.

[@MidYearMitch]

Thanks Jim. Haha I’m about halfway through the build now. And I haven’t started to talk like Elmer Fudd yet lol. It’s turning out great. This series should have some new types of repairs in it to keep it interesting.
