We RESCUE a really bad 1969 Camaro! [New Project]

In this episode, we travel to South Carolina to rescue a forgotten and abandoned 1969 Chevy Camaro. Chevrolet's answer to the Ford Mustang, the first generation Camaro has become one of the most sought after pony cars in the world, and now we have one! After being neglected for years, and changing owners several times we decide to give it a real home. It's bad folks, real bad, and its time someone gave this iconic muscle car the love and attention it deserves.
Follow along with ‪@hammersgarage‬ as we begin this restoration journey!

Love the road trip, I remember the same feeling the day I brought my baby home!! 50 Plus should be her name, she’s got history!!!

[@hammersgarage]

Glad you enjoyed it, hope you will share also! Thanks for watching and thanks for the name idea!

[@michaelsmall6818]

A feller can't help but to be a little jealous 😢😢😢 that's my dream car right there... ❤❤❤ she's gonna be a bute clark 🎉

[@garageofdreams3549]

You are 100% correct about those ketchup packs, I’m always saying the same thing. 69 looks like a cool project, show it some love.

[@tomwill5627]

The wheels are weld wheels made by Craiger. I sold the car to the person Issac brought it from. It came from Girard, Ga.not Waynesboro.

[@NDoghouse]

WTF is a "Craiger". Dumarse comment.

[@sublime929]

That's a cool find. Already has some go fast parts on it, got really lucky with the 12 bolt. The wheels are Welds, just have Cragar center caps.

[@MJenkinsD150]

I'd call it 'IRA', because that is where all my money would be spent! Congrats on the new project. Looking forward to this series.

[@hammersgarage]

Lol…thanks, and thanks for watching!

[@selbster1726]

Like most projects you might end up calling it "Money Pit". But unlike many project cars finished 69 Camaros are like gold... Enjoy the journey!

[@Boobtube.]

thanks for saving this diamond in the rough. Make her all pretty again. I have original Z/28 69. What a thrill to drive that thing is.

[@hammersgarage]

We're gonna build something for sure...don't know about the pretty part tho.

[@Boobtube.]

@@hammersgarage just put lipstick on it, pretty enough

[@zcam1969]

i have a 69 camaro too . i bought it in 1982 still runs and ready for paint

[@freshbutplain1144]

Hear me out. I’d call it something like “Cam-hero” since you’re it’s Hero and saving it! Nice it came with the floor pans and extra parts. That’s a great start.

[@hammersgarage]

I hear ya! Thanks for watching!

[@questsischiller4443]

Good Luck !! Long road ahead. I have a 1969 Camaro but it was much better when I started it was a roller as well. It will be worth it in the end.

[@davidwaynesingleton6826]

I bought a 68' Camaro almost 3 years ago. I have over 25k in parts. I also had to put in new trunk, roof skin and floor, Once the pieces start going in your going to want to finish it ! "Ginger". Name for ur car. All the red that showing on it !

[@is3180]

Cant wait 2 c the process my friend ..✌️

[@Boobtube.]

Alley Sally or Back alley Sally. But that brings on a whole other meaning LOL

[@hammersgarage]

😂😂😂

[@billmcmeekin7909]

1969 Camaro has that rear quarter panel line that pop's!!!! Beauty :⁠-⁠) 1966 Chevelle is my dream 60's car. Maybe one day 🤞 Cheers Hammer 👏

[@hammersgarage]

Thanks, and thanks for watching!

[@adamvalenzuela6626]

1966 chevelle? Great i own one with a 327 original engine.

[@billmcmeekin7909]

@@adamvalenzuela6626 Awesome Adam!!! :⁠-⁠) Enjoy bud. What you have is as rare as hens teeth now. Keep living the good life smiling :⁠-⁠)

[@TrashcanGarage]

I'd call it "mine". 🤣Looks like a fun project even with the floor pan sheetmetal work you have ahead of you. The only problem I see will be living up to everyone else's expectations. People get weird around these more popular cars when they see other folks doing things they don't "approve" of. Brings back memories of my first project that I hauled home from central Georgia near Forsyth. The trip and the comments from folks who saw it on the trailer made the effort worth it.

[@hammersgarage]

I hear you, except I don't care about other folks expectations. My rig, my way.

[@TrashcanGarage]

@@hammersgarage - I agree 💯 %

[@nedeljkoradovic8328]

Gotta love a 1969 Camaro!

[@rogermahaffey26]

glad you like it

[@hansjensen7823]

Looking forward to the build!

[@hammersgarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@Novarider72]

You've got a lot of metal work ahead of you. Good luck !! I'd you change your mind on keeping the car let me know what you want.

[@hammersgarage]

Will do, thanks!

[@danorourke5184]

[@averagejoe9234]

[@hammersgarage]

Lol…if you mean “Sir Sux A lot” then I like it! Thanks for watching!

[@jaxjax5322]

[@jaxjax5322]

[@TheCjWestfamily]

It's Ratty and I dig it! Curious what microphone you use? Sound is great

[@hammersgarage]

It’s just a wireless lavalier that I got from Amazonia…doesn’t even have a brand name.

[@TheCjWestfamily]

@@hammersgarage probably the $20 special I just ordered but sounded not so great for me lol. Great videos brother, I dig the truck

[@miker6270]

Looks like mine but I think yours has a nicer body lol

[@hammersgarage]

Lol…boy that’s saying something right there!

[@markjohnston8181]

I know what you can call it. "SOLD". To me.

[@alshotrodgarage4779]

Do an engine from the junkyard 5.3 or 6.0 LS carbureted with a 4L 80 transmission

[@hammersgarage]

Not a bad plan!

[@LouisJr.]

Hello! Hammers Garage. Since this car is not a SS Model what package is it & what V8 engine do you think it had in it?

[@hammersgarage]

It appears it was just a base model car, likely with a 307.

[@zone47]

That should clean up ok. Nice that you have a 12 bolt to start with... Maybe it's an SS car?

[@hammersgarage]

Wish it was…

[@lawrencet.mcguilicutty7447]

I’d name it “Lil Ratsqual” Like little rascal, but “Lil Ratsqual”

[@hammersgarage]

Not too bad! Thanks for watching!

[@hammersgarage]

Hey there! We’ve decided we’re going to with sort of a “variation” of your idea. If you email me your address I have something for you! My email can be found on the channel about page or in the video description. Thanks again!

[@user-pt2px8sr6t]

The rottmaro seems to be fitting

[@hammersgarage]

Love it! Thanks for watching!

[@jmooney2880]

I’d name her Marilyn, cause she’s a dream girl.

[@hammersgarage]

I like it!

[@michaeldixon3562]

That car has Bobby Jo written all over it , When i see it it reminds me of that girl in high school that was kinda pretty but now after numerous men have had her and shes a weekend alcoholic shes kinda rough

[@hammersgarage]

😂😂😂

[@Jeff-io2zn]

That's awesome. I knew a gal just like that.

[@adamvalenzuela6626]

[@NDoghouse]

Hey internet cowboy you pointed to the totally wrong area for the vacuum line penetrations in the firewall. You don't even know the important points to show on film. I have obsessed and owned 31 Camaros since 1979 in high school. It's all i know, my first love. I left all the other cars to everyone else. Now I can not even afford a project because of stupid people like this who are in it solely for the money and not the love. I can't help but think about all the people you fked over in life to get to where you are today. Karma is an unavoidable beatch though.

[@hammersgarage]

Sorry you’re having a bad day. 😎
