I love seeing matte black with gloss black emblems and door handles, trim etc.

Keep going you’ll get it

The roof and those pieces are fucked up because you were yanking on them when you’re taking apart your bugger

They would be better if you would describe what you do instead of the music

This also has to be tough since the roof frame was bent and probably not exactly 100%... guess gonna have to use line of site to the doors and make it work. Great video keep it up.

I would build the whole car and either use klecos or screws and get everything perfect then take it all apart and clean your metal for welding and start building the puzzle again and welding The screws will help you put it back in the same place again

Don’t be afraid to use self tapping screws to hold your panels together. Best way to learn how to weld is to practice. Practice. Practice. Gotta say though. Takes some balls to cut your car that far apart. I’ll be doing the same project this summer to my 71. Subscribed and can’t wait to see how it turns out for ya.

David, keep up the great work. I’m amazed at your ambition and dedication to this project. I’m more of a mechanic than a bodyworker, so I’m trying to soak in all I can to finish my 72 SS Chevelle. I also like the way your format is progressing. Kudos, Chuck

Nice.

Chevelle's rule, especially with a big BLOCK!!😊

Great videos.. still would rather hear you talk through your process than the music. It gets a bit annoying. Otherwise, keep at it looking good.

You’re going to want the windows to check panel fitment.

E-Vap-O-Rust in a spray bottle dude. Wire wheel will not solve anything! SMH....

Amazing!! Subscribed and following! Keep up the Awesome work!! :)

Rebuild your door hinges as necessary to get consistent gaps also you might mock up the front sheet metal to check and align the front door gap and to align any body lines. Also I use self tappers to hold panels in place, I find that clamps get in the way of fitting multiple panels. Take your time you will be fine. Good luck

how big is your shop? do you like the OSB walls? I just built a 28x28 and am trying to decide how to finish it out.

Hang your doors, align the door pullers/quarters to the doors. Align the roof from front to back and with the quarters. Pop on the trunk lid, adjust quarters and deck filler, then the tail panels to the trunk and quarters. Tekscrews are your friend.

Stopping the rust was the most important thing.😊

Now it’s time to assemble the puzzle. Remember to build from the rear to the front to make sure to get all your gaps where they need to be.

That paint works great. I use it myself.

Fix your Playlist it works backwards

Matte finish on the car!?! NICE, always loved that look! Enjoying the vids.

Videos are great, keep talking while working or after working. I don't know why but when a video has been narrated over it tends to loose all the original flair. Enjoying watching your work, still looking for my 69.

Mr Rudd, sorry but I haven’t caught your first name in any of your Chevelle videos. I have a ‘72 SS myself since I was 15. Now I’m 58, still have that car, and am trying to get the ambition to make it into a resto-mod. Mine doesn’t need anywhere near the bodywork like yours, but I’m enjoying watching your series. BTW, I recommend you find a happy medium between the voice-overs and the music. I would start with the voice intentions, music through the work scenes, and end with describing what went right/wrong/changes. Question: were you ever on the Fast & Loud TV show? Thanks, -Chuck

Just went threw that entire process on mine, lots of work but worth it in the end.

*they're always ... **_"1 - Step Away"_** hahahaha LOL*

I wish you luck on your project. I'm currently doing a 71 and I know the work that is ahead of you.

Interested in seeing the rebuild after this tear down.

If you would talk a little you have a good channel

Can't screw up what is already screwed up.. lol.

I wondered if you had cut the frame structure of the roof. While looking for another 69 I found one locally that they not cut both roof pillars, they cut all away across the roof and frame structure. Needless to say for the work needed and what they asked for it it didn't end up in my shop. One day I will find my 6t9.

14:22 Some who understands that you learn as you go-along, regardless of mistakes that you can fix, with not wishful talking on how you are going to do everything, and 4 years later not done anything, Like they usually do on youtube!

You also should reinstall, set the gaps on the doors and trunk lid even before any tack welding of your 1/4 panels. But even before any of that you need to sort out the damaged rear right and left inner sail panel supports and brackets. Another thing is replacing the rear package shelf under the back window and setting the deck lid hinges/springs/and outer panel when doing the inner sail panel / 1/4 panel supports. 9:51 9:51 Gotta set all your gaps as well. Cheers

If new replacement inner supports aren’t available, go and repurpose the damaged rear inner sail panel components from another chevelle that’s not damaged and after straightening the existing crushed ones best possible with an Autobody porta power hydraulic jacking ram ,before replacing the damaged parts with the new or used ( repurposed ) parts. Good luck and cheers

Keep posting videos. I am doing a 71 Chevelle with all the same rust issues. Seeing your efforts, is like a walk through talk through before attacking my areas of rust. Thanks.

My recommendation is to do one part at a time

I would rather hear you talk about the project than the music. I would clean up the metal before putting anything on it to seal it.

Dang for $500, you got a deal. I remember the day we could get a car with hardly any rust for that. One day, maybe I will find another 69. Keep at it.. i know videos making is hard but will be worth the documentation.

My best piece of advice is stop using that flap disk. You are making the thin metal even thinner and harder to weld back together. Use a wire wheel to clean the rust off the joints to expose the spot welds and be able to see the layers of the panels. This will make it easier to see how all your panels overlap and how to separate them. Even with POR 15, you will need to get as much of the loose rust off the metal by wire wheeling, sanding, or by use of a wire brush first. Also, please do yourself a favor and wear proper PPE when working on projects like this. When using wire wheels, grinding, cutting welding, etc., wear long pants and sleeves, leather gloves, along with safety glasses and a face shield. The eye protection is cheap insurance against an expensive ER bill because you got some metal in your eye. Hearing protection is a must as well, unless you just don't care about your hearing. The rest is to protect yourself from being cut or burnt. Start buying the vice grip welding clamps in various sizes and styles. Harbor freight has them for cheap, and you will need a lot of them. Continue to search RUclips for as much information as you can about the work you are planning. Don't just search your vehicle but watch others doing full restoration jobs. One channel I would recommend is Foothill Paint and Fabrication. He has two playlists covering a '67 GTO and a '65 Malibu in great detail. Granted, he goes all out to do the job right the first time, but it's the processes that will help you out on your project. Another channel I would recommend is Paintucation by Kevin Tetz. He is doing a Resto Mod of a '74 Camaro LT and converting it to a '70 RS clone. My '72 Chevelle is stripped down to bare metal and just the skeleton right now. I'm in the process of paint prep to sand and treat the metal before spraying epoxy primer. My project was a frame off, and I'm finishing up year 2. I have a goal to be road worthy and drive cross country from San Diego, Ca. to Jacksonville, Fl. by June 2025. A huge task to accomplish in about 6 months. I'll keep following you to see how you progress and lend some advice from time to time.

just found your channel.. please keep up the video's.

Just a quick note. The quarter panels should be under the roof lip at the top of the sail panel. Also, make sure to hang the doors and set gaps as best as possible before burning those quartes in. Lots of frustrating adjustments will be needed. Nice work, keep it up.

Like your channel. Only thing I'd recommend is hitting the rust on the inner parts with a wire wheel before covering/converting. That kind of surface rust can hide pinholes - a lot of pinholes. As it's structural I'd wirewheel it enough to be confident it wasn't compromised. Dont need to get it shiny new but clean it off on both sides should reveal any holes.

rust convert before you por15?

Save your money 💰

I guess you're ruined a car😮

Obviously you never did that before. Because there's a lot more Is wellsHolding that thing on, but I'll let you figure it out.

Where is this car originally from? It is extremely Rusty. I live in Ontario Canada and I have a 72 Chevelle that was built in Oshawa and I have been restoring it. And it was not even close to that Rusty at all.

Keep on keepin on.

Lot of work went through all that Good Luck

Hope your a great welder. You need a straight starting point. Stop talking it a part. Start fitting the new together.
