Wreck To Restomod Corvette Complete Build. Beginning To End. Split Window W/ Roadster Shop Chassis

Welcome to my KZbin channel. This channel is the home for all your vintage Mid-Year Corvette content.
I just finished restoring a 1963 Corvette Split Window and I am starting another split window build but this time its a race car build. I will be making videos every Friday. I will be making videos on my 1963 Corvette Split Window, my dad's 1965 Corvette, my race car split window build, my friends 1960 Corvette, and other projects that I find along the way. Let me know what you think about the video. Enjoy!!
If you are interested in an official MYM hat or if you have any questions please send me an email to [e-mail].
Check out my Instagram for some behind the scenes pics of my builds.

The work on this I'm just speechless. Very well done. Thanks for keeping another on alive.

[@paintucation]

Mitch, you are THE MAN when it comes to C2's and all things Vette!! I always love to check in on you! I've learned a ton from your videos, and I'm always entertained!! We need to collaborate on something with you and @paintucation!!

[@keithphillips6111]

You did it again!!!!! Thank you for putting another mid year back together and on the road again!!!!! Great video and congratulations on your recent marriage!!!!

[@MrTexasDan]

Hey there Mitch, I'm wiped out just watching this! That's a lot of great work. I hope you were rewarded well for your time. You deserve it. I sure would like to see video of this beast when it's done. Take care, Dan

[@joannehart9624]

I am stunned by the level of detail that went into this build. As much as I love that this car is back on the road, I am surprised that someone was willing to invest the $$ to build this car from this state. So much labor and very expensive parts... Very nicely done!

[@CharlesM-hq6cv]

True craftsmanship… I meet Mitch at Carlisle when he had the misfit vette, easy young man to talk to, very humble guy sooooo great watching him….

[@ltdees2362]

Four months to get to this, I'm blown away !! Please keep the updates coming...watching this made me sweat 😛

[@karensavarese5684]

Wow, thats quite impressive. Having done some glass work, nothing even close to your full , new body build. Thats a TON of work, and really looks great! Love, Dubs

[@bobdavis3389]

I hope the owner keeps in touch , I would love to see this ride in paint .

[@markfarrington9727]

Wow I wouldn't think 1 that far gone could be saved but there it is

[@phoenixblack1220]

Mitch, that car came out top notch! Excellent work sir!

[@MidYearMitch]

Thank you! This car will come together nicely. I can’t wait to see it finished.

[@tadams078]

I hope that we get some updates of it finished in the resto-mod tribute!

[@jamessenos1396]

FANTASTIC !!! … Very well done Mitch ✅

[@MidYearMitch]

Thank you so much! I’m proud of this one for sure.

[@daltonhanleyjr4142]

Awesome video. You really know your way around these old corvettes to be so young. Keep up the great work

[@12mikeg12]

1) you are doing fiberglass work in short pants and a short sleeve shirt... DAMN!!! iron man 2) great video, really done well. probably could slow down by 10% but I understand the speed to hold attention on a pin head. 3) I didn't know they produce wider fenders that look so freaking good.. 4) that is going to be a great ride when it's completed and a hell of a lot of fun building it looking forward to the next episode

[@RA-uj3nm]

Whatever you charge.......it's not enough. Absolutely amazing skill & talent. 👍👍🍺🍺

[@billt8690]

Hey Mitch. Another great vic. I really like this one since it covers a whole lot on building up a frame and skin and you talk through many of the important steps. Well done!

[@MEANSTREETAUTO454]

Professional bodyman here . HOLY FU@K 😮!!!!!

[@MidYearMitch]

Thank you so much! I have fun with it haha.

[@MEANSTREETAUTO454]

@@MidYearMitch Of all the car videos I watch, this one is one of the most impressive. You win the Mean Street award for the TOP fiberglass repairs/ mods on a classic car award for the year. I have done many fiberglass repairs in the past ( boats, semi trucks, race cars etc) and I know the work ( and suffering) involved. I get the feeling you will be ready for a big shop and some helpers ( besides the helpful lady you have) pretty soon. Overhead cranes , forklift , car lift , lots of room can make a huge difference in getting that $hit done without killing yourself.

[@Bloominole1]

My wife asked who is playing the banjo music at the end of your videos? She gave that a thumbs up.

[@MrTexasDan]

There was a KZbin video of the guy playing this, but I lost the link. It's really quite beautiful.

[@Formula455resto]

Nice work Mitch.👍

[@MidYearMitch]

Thanks 👍

[@bobdavis3389]

This was a fun video to watch Mitch , you sure get a lot of work done .

[@dalesmth1]

Having worked at a Corvette repair shop in the 80’s, I found this satisfying. Not sure when it closed, But Chuck’s Custom Auto used to be on North Lamar in Austin, Tx.

[@user-sw8cm9zy1d]

Great job, alot of work. Love 63 split window.

[@Johnny-dz6vl]

Look forward to seeing the rest of the build 😊

[@rayisland23]

Amazing workmanship, congratulations.

[@Anaiya2022]

You Tube sending another recommendation that had me stop working to watch. Made my day! Your video, the narration and craftsmanship is second to none! Speechless.

[@user-zp6tu3fk5m]

Top notch Mitch. A great job once again !!

[@danielfiske9849]

Loved following this build. Incredible build.😊

[@MidYearMitch]

Glad you like it! This is one of my favorites.

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Outstanding Work Man. Always wondered how a vette was put together. That's going to be a sweet ride.

[@vettefan2014]

Awesome job on the body work! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@garageofdreams3549]

Holly S that was Amazing, I didn’t realize you could tear one down that far. You are a Wizard!

[@lazlonemeth9931]

You are a true artist.

[@MidYearMitch]

Thank you!

[@markdesanctis8688]

awesome work, mitch!

[@stevenwatson4526]

you have crazy skills.

[@WhiteManXRP]

Save those GMs baby woooo,,, Love Roadster Shop

[@WhiteManXRP]

Incredible work brother wow...

[@samperras]

Good luck your work is good

[@ZMANPERF]

Nice work.

[@ernestescobedo4591]

Nice fit up work👌

[@JustSomeJoe-dp5rp]

Dude, where did you learn to do all this work? Seeing how much you cut that thing to pieces, I'd probably never get it all back together. Immense respect!

[@davidkimsey9591]

That is a whole bunch of impressive work!

[@davidsolloway9349]

like 19 !

[@MidYearMitch]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jayhilliard4365]

awesome job!

[@jimrains8314]

That was amazing! Proof that one man's junk is another man's treasure. What part of this build made you set back and do some thinking? This was an outstanding video to watch, you really give it your all. Thank you. Misfit is still my favorite maybe cause it was a driver when finished. Take care and stay safe.

[@aurktman1106]

I'm still amazed you can find donor cars.

[@user-ym9pr3bz9o]

تصوير المقطع عمل جبار من غير تكلفة العمل الجبار

[@jsh3234]

Mitch I have to applaud you. Great job on saving another midsixtes vette. Have to ask you though, the bird cage, aren't those reproduced? If so I would think that would be more cost effective for the customer. I could see where you would want to save money if it was your own project. But even so that was a bunch of work. ,👍

[@frankruff7114]

Wish I had a dollar for every time I heard the term “Bird Cage” in this video.

[@petem6291]

Mitch you do outstanding work , this video gives and avg guy a little window into the world of what it takes to restore a corvette, I wonder how many hours it took just to get it to roll out of your super cool garage ????

[@aluckyboy]

Carlisle coming soon I hope you are allowed out.

[@MidYearMitch]

Yessir I’m ready! I’ll be there at K62.

[@DMUSA536]

Your craftsmanship is amazing. I was wondering how long it took. 3-4 months. Who helps you? I think your wife and some others.

[@matthewmoilanen787]

Nice work even though I'm really surprised repop body parts are made for these. More Mustangs were sold in the first 1 1/2 years than Corvettes in the first 20 so I'm shocked there's enough market for it. Anywho, nice looking project!

[@X2000Xyz]

جميل جداً ومجهود عظيم

[@dintexas2095]

Mitch ! If you ever build a split window roller to sell I would like a chance to bid on it.

[@timbrady6473]

Hey Mitch,have you seen VOLO CARS is selling a collection of 25 C2’s many with 4 speeds and a/c . Would you hire yourself out to make the trip to Illinois to inspect a car for the right price ? I might be looking.

[@2good4uyt10]

beautiful work, can i ask what adhesive you used for attaching the fiberglass

[@MidYearMitch]

Thank you! I use 3M 08115 panel bond adhesive. It has a 90 minute working time which is great for installing larger panels.

[@pamdunn8454]

very impressive - even the time laps video , so the bird cage "chicken soup out of chicken U-NO" amazing work , then the extensive fiberglass work WoW , are you taking on work and where are you located ? state ?

[@michaelbradley7529]

That is a ridiculous amount of work. Hopefully the owner will allow you to post an update video showing the finished product.

[@garybruce8572]

Great video Mitch! Was that a one piece windshield frame? My c3 convertible needs one. Can you share the vendor or part #? Thanks!

[@donmalaleche]

Grosse Handwerkskunst!

[@tmydland2000]

Hey i just started on a 66 vette that was left to me from my late father, trying to fit the doors and it seems they are tipped inward at the bottom, ive added shims at the bottom hinge and the lower door sits inside the rear rocker at the bottom and slightly out at the top, is there anyway to tip the door out a bit or am i just able to do what can be done with shims? I think i pulled a 1/2 thick stack of shims out that appeared to be factory, but they are just not enough

[@ronbelanger4113]

Does it still have the original VIN? Matching engine numbers from production? If not, just another hack job.

[@joekoons1937]

Mitch I'm new to your channel so willing to ask a silly question. Why? I mean I've been looking at buying a full body for a mid-year they are not that expensive especially one in fiberglass or under 20,000 for carbon fiber. Has to be just as expensive doing what you are doing buying some parts and repairing others? I been missing my split window for 45 years

[@stevenwoodin6141]

Geez, how much was that inheritance?

[@HairyBowls]

How do you wear shorts doing this itchy crap?

[@springchecking427]

What the fuck is a Birdcage..? it is called the inner framing

[@MidYearMitch]

The Corvette name for it is a birdcage because it resembles a birdcage. It is technically the body framework or body structure. Whatever name you want to call it. I made a video explaining the meaning behind the name.

[@Uswesi1527]

A perfect major surgery.
