Ram air 3 kits how complete and are they worth the money?
A real pleasure to come along for the journey. Really like white on the '69 Trans Am it looks like just off the showroom floor. Thank you Jon for the last 12 months.
How in a year? I seen it but you should summarize the hours and dollars it took. Amazing!
super nice
Amazing job!!
Thank you.
Turned out great. For some reason I didn't get the notifications. I got one today about the car being gone. lol! Looks like I have some catching up to do.
Oh, well it’s cold out side, Time for binge watching!
I have a 69 Firebird I'm currently working on. I'm having trouble getting the headlight buckets and rubber spacer to meet up with the fenders. From my research it's apparently a common problem. I can't remember if you covered this in a previous video. If so please point it out. If not how about helping a lot of people out. Really appreciate all the instructional videos and they help a lot! Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I have not done a video yet. It’s a highly requested one. I have been gathering the part to assemble the front bumper On my car and will be doing a video. I have a feeling it will be a popular one for sure
been thinking on how to do this on my cutlass as i just got a vintage air kit. Wasnt sure it would be possible, but looks like there's a possibility!
Very cool. I have used vintage air a few times and very happy with it.
I enjoyed watching all the videos you post. Your theme song is awesome too. I can listen to that all day long! Thank you for everything you do for the hobby
Very happy to help and feeling blessed for all the people I have met and things that have happened for me since doing RUclips
Fantastic! I'm looking forward to your '69 Judge project/journey!
I am so very excited to have the opportunity to restore and own such an iconic car. Never in my wildest dreams would I think a guy like me would have one. I am very grateful to the viewer that helped me with the deal.
Beautiful Job Jon. Love the song also.
That song was an amazing gift from a viewer.
Can i use this method to do in my gbody 87 cutlass ?
I don’t see why not.
Amazing work! Looks like a brand new car!
Thanks! Drives like one as well
I have a 67 400 and i love watching you work on these Birds!
Very nice! I finally have a 400 bird, it’s been on my wish list for years.
Another Awesome job. I look forward to following along on your next project. I finally got my VVG swag in an it too is awesome. I love your channel and find myself rewatching episodes frequently as I work through aspects of my own 68 bird restoration. Keep up the great work
That is awesome! HUGE thank you for buying some VVG goodies
Man Jon, how do I send you my 68 camaro for some garage body work? Lol
Hopeful that I can work out the sale of my current home and locate a property that will support. A larger place to do exactly that fix more cars.
@VinylVillageGarage that's awesome, vinyl village shop! Haha friend of mine bought a home with land and a shop in indy near the Kentucky boarder for around 400 I think. He work for ups in Louisville.
What an effort! This whole build is worth watching again. No shortcuts. You are a wizard when it comes to breathing life back into a ride from the past. Great teacher also.
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope this works out to be a resource for other future builders.
Enjoyed watching this amazing transformation
Glad you enjoyed it. Another car rescued at the VVG
Car definitely speaks for itself. Outstanding job on the entire project. Best channel on RUclips. Looking forward to the next project starting.
Much appreciated! You are awesome!
Congratulations Jon!! ..this car, this fast ??! amazing work brother - and the gauges work - I'm sure you've already lined up your next project, but take a break, you deserve it :)
I will be taking a bit of a break, especially because I might be between houses too. I will tinker with the Judge for a bit.
You really do some fantastic work!
Appreciate that, this one was a fun project and wish it was mine.
Quite the transformation from when you received it. Excellent job. Love the attention to detail on all your projects. 👍
Definitely a vast improvement for sure. I am certain your build has extreme details as well. I will almost bet the farm it’s one of the most accurate body’s out there
Great work! Enjoyed the journey. Looking forward to the next one. Happy Holidays!
I am looking forward to the next one too hopefully in a new garage too
looks like bolt missing between the exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe at 56 minute mark could be camera is not picking it up
The stud is looking deceiving for sure. It’s not rusty. I had the owner check just to Be sure too because it was hard to tell.
👏👏👏 Well done 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Another thing to point out is you can do this quality of restoration by yourself with having a family and home to take care of, and a full time job. Doing it in a two car garage with pretty basic tools. When my buddies complain they dont have time to work on their own cars i should direct them to your channel. Now get started on that GTO.
Right on! You nailed it, i do these videos to prove exactly what you just said.
@@VinylVillageGarage And you do it very well John. I stopped watching any other resto videos on line. They are hacks or over priced huge egos compared to you.
@ just trying to keep it real, I struggled with exactly what you observed and figured I could learn how to make videos and share real progress with real results.
The car deffinatly speaks for itself! Fantastic job!
I have no complaints!
Great job. It looks nothing like the twisted hulk you started with.
Definitely not even close! To be honest I was just a little worried that this one was going to kick my butt after i learned how bad it was crashed.
The more I watch the Trans Am’s the more I want one..problem, there’s a numbers matching 400 Firebird at a reasonable cost ($15 grand)...(California car so zero rust hardtop) now the problem original paint code is 72 and the car is orange...easy to make a driver. I’ll keep looking, as you know I have plenty to do.
Sounds reasonable to me. Not to mention I have one just like that. 400 4spd 72 paint code carrousel red. But it’s far from a California car, has some advanced rust issues the way I like them.
Turned out fantastic, I bet the owner is thrilled too! Thanks for bring us along Jon, I've really enjoyed your videos and have learned a lot.
From what I saw he loves This car and a dream come true for him. I am excited to see if he gets any trophies at the shows for it.
I’ve built these, I worked at Genie for 10 years
This one is like serial number 700 something so it’s an oldie for sure
@ 1999-2009
Another piece of art from the VVG! Great job Jon! Looking forward to the next one!
Should definitely represent the VVG name well. Hopefully the next one comes out as nice.
The car turned out very nice...and great tips were passed on.... good content and thanks....🔧🔧👍
Very welcome, thank you for watching
Looks incredible! Great job! Looking forward to the judge actually a GTO guy first, then firebird guy
I am a bird guy but definitely a GTO guy as a very close second
😊
Thanks
Incredible job. And FAST! Wow!
Thank you! Now time to get yours done!
Spectacular! Love watching your channel. Keep it up
Thank you very much!
Great job!, and "info" provided in the process....Happy Thanksgiving...
Happy thanksgiving indeed
I’ve got a 68 firebird i would like to get work done on. Down in Florida. Would you be interested in working on it? Seen your work on some of your videos. Love it. How would i be able to reach you directly? Thanks
As you might have noticed my house is for sale and the why is I am looking for a property that support taking on projects and get them done efficiently. Hopefully that transpires soon. And when it does we can definitely talk then
@ sounds good. Appreciate the response
Amazing work! By far my favorite channel. Please keep the videos coming!
Thanks! Will do! My goal is to still make time to make videos during the move if and when that happens
Looks awesome 👍👍👍👍
Thanks. I wish it was my car.
Was the TA originally splatter painted in the trunk from factory?
Yes but is would have Been more of a black base with white splatter
Looks great, now I am missing the one I had back in the day!
I bet, how long ago did you sell it?
@@VinylVillageGarage It was 1976!
@tyronebrewer3219 wow. It was still new!
I got it used for $500.00 and had to replace the right front fender, a buddy of mine match up the paint for me.
@ dang. I paid $1,200 for a rusted out non-running heap and I thought I did good.
Unbelievable work is really impressive. You knock this one out of the park, brother 👏 👍 💪
Appreciate that. I hope to see your trans am soon 😎
@VinylVillageGarage soon brother really soon
Love these vids, I’m building a 69:Camaro, any chance I could borrow your frame rails for a Jig, or are you set up to do the work? Thanks, Dan
How close to Indianapolis are you?
@ I’m 4 hours away in Western IL. But I work for Beck’s Hybrids in Atlanta, In. Remotely, the next 2 weekends we have meetings at the Marriott in Indy.
Всем привет. Кто подскажет, есть две таких же машины, на обеих не работает уровень пола люльки. Механическая(гидравлическая связь есть, то есть уровень меняется в зависимости от положения стрелы) елекрютрическим способом никак не работает. На катушки управления сигнал приходит, клапана активируется, но уровень не меняется. Что делать, где ещё смотреть???
Is it the auto level that’s not working? Or when you operate platform level? If it’s auto level only could be master cylinder seals are weak or compensating relief Valves in the valve block

Try motor honey😅
Very tempting 😁😂
and how did you redo your wheels
Media blast clean, epoxy prime, paint the entire wheel silver, then tape off and paint the spokes grey. I use rattle can paint then clear coat when done.
where can I get the 1969 firebird flag
My Friend Luis sent it to me. He finds them on Facebook on the Firebird group pages. I have yet to find the link but it pops up every once and awhile he said.
