I Supercharged My Dads’ 68 Camaro For Fathers Day

My Dads' Chevrolet Camaro has been in the family for more than a decade now. His Chevrolet Camaro is 55 years old, but the drivetrain is completely modern. 5 Years ago my brother and I LS1 swapped his Chevrolet Camaro along with an updated modern suspension. This Chevrolet Camaro sports vintage looks with all the modern go fast parts. The only thing this Chevrolet Camaro needs now is MORE POWER!
Our friends at Boost District have that taken care of though. With a complete swap kit for an OEM LSA Supercharger. A quick and easy install allows us to bolt on loads of extra horsepower. The only question is, exactly how much more power can we make with my Dads' Chevrolet Camaro? The team up at Complete Street Performance helps us answer that question by strapping my Dads' Chevrolet Camaro to the dyno and finding out!

I love it, you can see the proud son talking to his dad about the upgrades... dad acting like mine and not giving anything away. Its a lovely father son moment, love tne content and glad to see your dad get a wonderful gift from his son.

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@randomnetwork1995]

Drive that camaro And happy Father's day!

[@tonymolineiro554]

Drive that Camaro pops!👍 Wish I could have done that for my DAD 🙏. Respect ❤️💪

[@Viking8888]

I know most Camaro enthusiasts are into the 69 (nice!), which I love as well, but I have always had a love for the 68, I am so jealous of your Dad. And you as well for getting to work on it and drive it. I guess I will have to live vicariously through you! 😉

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

LS swaps are my favorite automotive “Thing”. Having had two third generation F-bodies that were LS swapped, I have come to the realization that almost everything can be made better with a LS motor! (Even a Porsche). My latest project is a 1989 Trans-Am GTA with LS2. You guys should do more “old” stuff. A lot of us really do realize that car companies made cars BEFORE 2000.

[@jimhanson2997]

Loved the video. What a great way to honor your Dad for Father's Day!

[@TheBBodyBuilder]

Pops drive the wheels off that Camaro! Absolutely want to see more on this project.

[@MichaelSPalmer]

Wow, very cool, guys. Congrats to you and your Dad! QUESTION: what coil pack bracket(s) are you using to mount above the valve covers? Thanks! UPDATE: Pops, drive the Camaro!

[@ericharvey193]

Let’s go Pops put some miles on that beast , I’m sure you don’t have to worry about breaking down . Just have fun !!!

[@Nubious]

I absolutely love the way you two bonded the silent dad, and the eager son explaining his knowledge on the subject matter. They aren't here forever, though I wish I could do the same with mine but he doesn't care. Great vid and for Pops: "Drive that thing sir!"

[@digiklemuzik544]

Great to see early Fbody content, I’ve owned 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gen Camaros in my time and now drive a Porsche so all the content is exciting for me. Love all the great stuff you guys do. Lastly - POPS DRIVE THE DAMN CAMARO, HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT 😁

[@marcanthony854]

Just got a chill up my spine, watching the trans come out took me back to 1989, restoring my 68 convertible BBC Camaro ! Thx guys love the Vid

[@sugarbea]

Great video!! Love to see more content like this! Hey pops, go have some fun!!

[@erichnienkeschaal6316]

That is a very nice example of a '68. It really does need to be presented at some club shows for the public to appreciate it and what better way than to drive it to those shows. Pops, give it a good consideration, it doesn't matter how many miles you add to it because you can only appreciate such a nice ride but once. Btw, I'm glad you like the feel of the new clutch, the previous one was just something you had to get used to. 👍

[@MikeScott-f2j]

Happy Father's Day to your Pops!!! This was awesome!!!. Enjoy the ride Dad. It's a beautiful car. Happy Motoring!.

[@Copper_AmunRa]

That tesla pull gave you the rethinking the meaning of life face..😂

[@scraplifegarage]

It was another level for sure!

[@dparisi420]

GET BOOSTED!!!! That would look awesome in my shed alongside all the other car stuff I have hanging on the wall

[@TheRvg03gt]

Those Welds look sick on 68!!

[@trainmanbob]

Happy son, Happy Dad, Happy viewers. From the UK...EXCELLENT VIDEO.

[@erichuff2538]

That trailer is flipping awesome with the slider deck.

[@crocknyldcrock1931]

Wow! I just got into your channel and I'm definitely subscribing. The simplicity of the video is spectacular (no bullshit songs during the build, just the pure tool/parts sounds). Cleanest Camaro I've seen so far! Keep up with the videos!

[@harryblue-heil3268]

POP great job your son did adding the supercharger now it's time to drive that beautiful '68 CAMARO and enjoy the ride...Happy Fathers Day , Harry from Kingman AZ.

[@teddymopar664]

What a beauty that 68 camaro. I get flash back of when I was a young kid love those old muscle cars. I would love to see more of the CAMARO. Great job.

[@williamcalia2465]

Enjoy the ride Dad. It's a beautiful car. Happy Motoring!

[@gregorymaupin6388]

Pops drive your dream machine, such a beautiful Camaro.

[@kennykarlsson6691]

Well. You are not alone having a dad without emotions showing of. But he is definetly having fun in that car when your not wathching. ❤

[@Punderino]

enjoy that camaro pops! thing looks amazing, super glad you have a cool son to help you keep that car super fresh!

[@Wings_Jet]

At 24:02 and 24:07, I caught his great pleasure twice in your father's eyes 😀 Absolutely he is so happy with his updated toy... Oldies but always goldies... And you are a good son for him ♥ Greetings and a big hug from Istanbul to all muscle cars lovers.

[@gezdipz5425]

One of my favourite cars a job well done,would like to see more of it. Keep up the great content 👌

[@scottymcdowell3560]

I love how we get an LS swapped 68 Camaro and a Plaid all in the same video.

[@zdr5191]

Love seeing the classic car project. I vote to do more.

[@KhaiMahase]

I would love to see some more classic camaro content

[@petestransam4524]

Happy Father's day!! You have a awesome son!!

[@fknbastages]

I was hoping it would be a surprise to him. I would have loved to see his reaction when he noticed something was different. Still an amazing dream car.

[@justinw_tbss_dadvan9447]

Clean car for sure you all did a nice job with it. Now pops drive the wheels off that thing.

[@berinbektesevic9085]

I like where you give so much information on all thebparts, whats wrong and whats good and how you fix all the things.you guys looks very proffesional and have alot of knowledge in what you do. More videos about anything really ✌️

[@concernedcitizen2868]

I like your dads car better then any car i have seen in your shop... now thats a badass ride.. EDIT after watching it all. Full restomod and take it drag week. Live it up

[@teaganwindago3132]

@ 7: 20 I hope you replace the front air dam. And it's sad that you didn't clean the tranny up before replacing it. The dead blow hammer is great I use it as well.

[@kens8903]

Pops! Drive that thing! Let my live vicariously through you lol. That’s dream car of mine.

[@Powershift]

Your Dad's car went from AWESOME to BADASS. I've had a lot of badass cars. But, my dream car is an LS swapped '68 Camaro with a 5 speed. This car needs more video!

[@leongarner4027]

What a lucky dad,what a great video,go mate,from Australia 🇦🇺

[@LordHaveMurcielago]

Happy Father's Day to your Pops!!! This was awesome!!!

[@Apoapojj]

I jus love how delicate the process is

[@robertjones1709]

Very Cool, Definitely DRIVE that Camaro Pop!

[@Jojowisisk]

Wow very nice car! I have that same car, 68’s are a really cool year I recommend taking the front bumper off personally but that’s up to y’all! Gl on that car!

[@tico4940]

If this isnt the sickest fathers day gift lol,thanks for sharing all the steps.

[@robertogaona2278]

The detail you put in to your work is awesome!!

[@ahmedaliabudorrah4901]

T Top it for him and next month weather will start to be aowsome on Sun ...🏁💐

[@6SPDLS162]

Great video man. Just found your channel. I am a car enthusiast overall but the Camaro is #1 for me. Drive the Camaro Pops!!

[@S2NAZ]

That wobbling wheel was the first thing I noticed 😮 I was honestly thinking we’d see more dramatic boost so it was sort of anticlimactic and really didn’t seem to get a reaction from dad 🤔 BUT… It’s a nice Father’s Day gift to your dad though 👍🏻

[@jlove24]

This is awesome! I’m LS swapping and procharging my dads 67 ss

[@MJ0NE5]

Great father son video! Now, get out there and drive it Pops!!!!

[@Pierre.9352]

pops looks like a badass driving the camaro i love it !

[@garrenturk4093]

He liked it..... cool father's day present 💯

[@davidunderwood7561]

Pops, drive the dang thing, heck, I'll take it for a few weeks...really nice car, not too extreme but a great cruiser.....Pop's in Texas

[@davidfalk8953]

pops have some fun with that sweet ride ,

[@nickavoglia8872]

Hey Lee C Parts, I actually bought a 6.0L LS2 from you guys, I'm currently swapping it into my 69 Camaro. Very happy with the engine so far, cant wait to do my first start-up on it. Loved the video, keep doing more content like this.

[@nickavoglia8872]

What’s telegram?

[@larpzy989]

PLEASE drive that beautiful car! Its amazing! More videos please

[@m.j.1427]

G'day from down under Australia..good job on camaro 👍my favourite USA muscle

[@MelC-w7v]

Tell your dad that I'm so envious of his ride. I'm a 69-year-old guy that just sold my VW Beetle because I couldn't afford to keep it. I've owned a bunch of muscle cars in my life, but the only car that I really wanted was a Camaro. That's why I envious. Lovin' the old days !!!!

[@ralphralphin]

Awesome episode. I love that you're dad loves cars too. The 1st gen Camero is the sexiest normal car ever made IMO. My favorite is the 68, but I love seeing any of them with a newer gen drive train swap

[@jaysworld2893]

More of the maro!!! Yes sir plz love it makes me wanna go drive mine!!

[@OneofMyTurns]

Sweet not overly done 68 Camaro!!!

[@teaganwindago3132]

OK now I see you replaced the front air dam and even though it's not colored matched. I will not reject it. The tires and wheels look great on a classic the breaks and rotors also look great. Thumbs up by the end of the video I will give you your grade and might even give you my car to restore.

[@wiskeybear9759]

Didn't even finish the video yet. Had to stop at the 12:13 mark. The face you make when you turn the corner is the exact same face I make when a buddy of mine brings me his car and says "So I had this guy install..."... That pain is shared haha :D.

[@PetersonMotorsports]

I have a neighbor with a nice 73 Nova. It sits in his garage. He maybe drives it 50 to 80 miles a year if that. MAN you own it! DRIVE IT! DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!

[@Roger21989]

Daily the Camaro, people would love to see this out and about!

[@jacksavage2612]

POPS DRIVE THE DAMN CAMARO, HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT, YA CANT TAKE IT WITH YA AND YOU GOT 2 AWESOME SONS TO RIDE SHOTGUN WITH YA. Huge inspiration for me and my dad.

[@gentilejoshsaved1646]

Camaro drive and more vids. Love the color. 68 is my favorite year.

[@6556cody]

YES!!!!!! We have to get together with the first gens some time fellas.

[@CarDudes1]

Great work on the supercharger install. Didn't realize how important the dyno tests could be. I really enjoyed the video, Thank you! - P.S. Hey Dad, get out there and drive that damn Camaro or I will...Cheers!! ✌

[@johnkowley9314]

Thats bad ass !!! I have a 68 that needs help all # match 327 love it.

[@whipzsurgeon]

Looks like he warmed up to it pretty quick.

[@teaganwindago3132]

I think it's complete success. I hate the fact that your father doesn't show appreciation for what you have done. I have my father living with me and it's HELL. All he does is complain, complain, complain. But we must do our jobs and take care of the ones that somewhat took care of us growing up!

[@cookieheadjekins6344]

Drive your car! Happy Father's day...

[@kaspar_1982]

A maroon 68 camaro was my high school car in 1980, 327cu. i paid 1800$ for her and had a blast. drove across country, sold in long island NY in 1983 for 1300$ daily driver and driven hard can't imagine still on the road but who knows with the value.

[@policeofficer94]

Always good to see using a grinder and cut off wheel showering sparks upon compressed MAPP gas canisters

[@markstewart2575]

Pops drive that car!! Good weekend cruising

[@davidwarner6766]

Dad drive it like its stolen😂😂...Happy Father's Day

[@andrewbeetz2196]

Yo that's who has that draft kings handle! I was pissed it was taken! Also your a good son.

[@jonathanpeterson1984]

Electric torque wrench is pretty cool. And at 11:51 it’s crazy how those camera mounts seem to not detect the pole and mount it’s attached to. Like it’s floating or something 🧐🤔

[@IneedMorehead]

We want another dodge demon episode!

[@hector_nimrod]

Yeah, really easy and fast to get parts and rebuild a burnt car to deliver a video for you. Calm the f down man
