Forgotten Barn Find Camaro First Wash In 21 Years! - Vice Grip Garage EP69

COMMENT BELOW and let me know what YOU think a guy should do with this! The 79' Barn Find Camaro is back! I've hung onto this Camaro and it's been sitting in storage since the first episode. Time to wash this chevy off and decide on a game plan. Flip it? Restore it? Just refresh it enough to move it down the line? Eventually, we'll have to see if it even still runs! Tune in to see how this turns out and let me know what you think!

Who thinks this is the bestest KZbin channel? 👇

[@bertgrau9246]

It's a toss up with Project Farm. I really like both.

[@cljerjr31]

This and fuzzy dice projects are my favorite. Real dudes doing real stuff. Not trying to sell crap as an Amazon influencer (scotty kilmer), or doing dumb things because they are sponsered (hoovies garage).

[@edwardmulder3777]

He's in competition with Mustie1

[@charlesburdumy2225]

Did you sell the Camearo yet?

[@arisaka9963]

Vice Grip Garage and Andrew Camarta are my favorites

[@101gibson9]

Absoutly the best channel ever on KZbin

[@ViceGripGarage]

appreciate it!!

[@endoplasreh]

"Stuck In Tupac mode". Genius description.

“The drinkers side is nice and solid”. Sooooo classic.

[@ViceGripGarage]

it's always the captains side that rots here

[@farmhand6524]

You must be young. In my day both sides drank in competition.

[@porleg]

I had a proper laugh, also the description of smelling like a cross between a gerbils cage and ritz crackers.

[@dfgivens]

Love this channel! Here's a bit of advice from an old F-body guy: Get the feller an old-style triggered oil can with a long pointy dispensing tube. Fill it with lightly used (or new) 30w-ish motor oil. Now lube the crap out of those giant old door & hood hinges, springs, hood latch, release cable, trunk parts that move, spring shackles, etc. Basically, lube anything that moves and looks rusty. Do it until the parts GLIDE...it takes a few trips around the barn too. Soon, the hood & doors will work a whole lot better.

[@demogadget]

I can smell the inside of that car all here in holland :P

[@jerredwayne8401]

A feller was later than my wife's menstrual cycle to the ol premiere so I'm gonna watch from scratch. RIGHT NOW!

[@tjlabbee7856]

Yup definitely a guy has seen a season or 2 of the ol' red green. And if not... Figure it out!

[@timpsensky5181]

That's funny, I described this channel to my friend as Red Green meets Roadkill.

[@drewanderson8279]

I cant wait to get off work to watch this! In the last week I have watch every episode of vice grip garage. I watch it with my 2 year old and durring the intro guitar solo the baby jumps up and plays the drums on his chest like I do and he headbangs as good as his little butt can!! Too awesome!!

[@gl779]

Definately my new favorite channel! Watched one episode and had to watch the rest. Great job combining entertainment while still being informative. Also a plus not having to worry about the family hearing something they shouldn't. Can't wait for the next episode!

[@friguy4444]

13:25 "On the Captains side we got a little weight reduction over here, so I think she's made to go left". "But the Drinkers side this is nice and solid". LOL. Just killin me!

Peg also sent me here also. I heard that vvg was going to meet Good ole Peg with a furd and Peg is to bring a Chevy. It's supposed to be a border meeting. Perhaps it will happen. Boss Garage is doing that car show..maybe they meet just before that.

[@gabrielruzzi4452]

Man, I just gotta say, your videos just keep getting better and better. I personally would fix this one up just for the simple purpose of showing how to do a low budget, do yourself at home restoration project.

[@ViceGripGarage]

Thank you!

[@Shoultes]

I love everything this guy does. My dream is to move to his town and be his sidekick / apprentice. I think a guy would be impressed by my car /mechanical genius. And also entertained by my ability to screw up incredibly simple tasks.

Well if there was 5 like buttons a guyd be hitting all five.

Glad to see this one back. The ole' 7 cylinder Camaro. One of my favorite "will she run" videos

[@radders50]

You know from a mile or twenty away that’s a fine looking rig 😎

[@jamesprice2163]

I can't explain how much I love this channel top quality content mate

[@derbydriver]

My 77 Cutlass had the same trim (well, so did ever GM car from that era) and even though I always kept it clean and never drove in rain/snow, it would ALWAYS release some dirt whenever I washed it. Crap just packs in there no matter what you do.

[@ArtByCater]

Wow, brought back memories my cousin had a brown one and she let me drive it when i was learning to drive at 16 fun car to drive. Thanks Chuck

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Paint is gorgeous and in pretty amazing condition for the age of her @ViceGripGarage

[@Cofel_-z]

I think the ‘ol 305 just needs a cam, intake, and carb, maybe a little more cleaning up and she’s good. Then throw a glasspack exhaust on her and she’s a teenagers dream right there

[@yeahitskimmel]

Did my first burnout at the town ice cream spot as a teen on a 305, it'll get her done

[@unicornsteaks6769]

@@yeahitskimmel I got outrun by a 4-cyl Mazda pickup in my '78 305 Camaro. What a turd that motor was.

[@padrescout]

305 is a fine engine, there's nothing wrong with them other than the fact the 350 exists... which is better in every way. Since it has a 305 in it? I wouldn't put any money into that engine, but it's fine. I second the glasspacks.

[@blair79bear38]

The Old muscle car 350H/327 cam in it , maybe an edelbrock dual plane performer. that'll wake it up.

[@clintdavis9511]

Then we have to put on headers. Which means we need better heads, which means rings, bearings and probably bore it .030.....so we need new pistons. Yep. Thats how it starts.

[@stevenneal172]

Love that car, my dad had one exactly like it when I was about 7 or 8. Can't wait to see more of it 💪🤜🤛

[@williamtwarog7082]

I love the channel!!! I have had 6 1979 Camaro's in my time. Anyhow what I am getting to is If I remember correctly back in the 70's A GM good-wrench engine like you have was a factory reman, replacement maybe for a warranty. I also believe that was sold as a create engine.

[@maidenlord6663]

This is the first car I owned my stepdad gave me 79 body and told me to get the motor from a old Impala the nostalgic memories looking at that thing

[@BanCorporateOwnedHouses]

I'd actually really like to see your take on a budget paint job for this car. Like how good can an average person, like me or another viewer, patch up that rust, and properly shoot a decent paint job using Harbor Freight equipment or something. I think that would make a great 1 or 2 episode ordeal. Maybe 1 episode of repair and prep, and another episode on shooting the paint. As far as the engine goes, I know you are on a budget, so I say just get her running and driving reliably with whatever budget performance mods you can think of for a 305.

[@jamesfelten5179]

If this guy does not have a sponsor, he needs one, if he has one, he needs more.
