I love G bodys , have an 87 grand national

FYI there are two drain tubes in the back. They are a PITA to replace.

I like hearing about you meeting some other folks where you son had another youth to interact with. Glad you had a good trip. I kind of hurried through this video but will go back and watch again and the others about you Nova to see if you had any drag times with it.

🇺🇸🦅💪👍🏻

My dads 1990 k5, reminds me of the cassette adapter for the cd 💿 player. 👍

This is just me being old school, but they ruined this car by putting a ls in it .needs a 396

Do you know if the cassette player still works with the Bluetooth conversion

Thank you so much for trying hard and tinkering with every little thing to get it the best you can! Definitely the best T Top seal vid out there! Definitely liked the constant testing!

People dunk on the c3 a lot just because it's a 70's car that was neutered by emission compliance. But it looks very sleek and stylish, and with the stock 350 you can make it very fast very easily. On of my favorite classes.

Great videos. Yo got me thinking about this for my 67 GS 400. Any difference in gas milage?

I feel for you sir, You cant save them all but we wish we could! But you have the Holy Grail of 80s muscle! I love my ZL1 and its faster than my GN but I think I like the Buick more- these cars get countless stares and thumbs up! Your paint work turned out perfect! Awesome car! Thanks for showing bumper removal as im going to have front/ rear bumpers and my hood repainted now too( Im picky) Love the channel !!!👍🤟

Nice paint job

when it started, i got harded

You two have no idea about cars do you. You both are what I call driving enthusiasts as opposed to car guys. The type to frequent cars and coffee and not know anything about your car other than the words in the catalogue.

There was also an all green interior option for the cutless.

Hey so I'm the guy who bought the camaro and I and love it. Ive already had to fix a couple things the center link had play on the pitman arm side and got a new idler arm also and a couple days after i got it the carb kept flooding so had to rebuild it luckily my pops is good with that stuff unfortunately the transmission was junk needs a complete overhaul my tranny guy said I'm lucky I didn't grenade it cuz it was cutting itself in half from the inside out but the case is still usable thankfully also I'm upgrading the internals to a 87 and up 700r4 those have better parts in em so it will be better than ever once he's done with it also it will have OD to and since I got it apart I figured I'd get some shorty headers add a little more HP and a better diff so no more one wheel peel but overall it's a great car and I'm excited to get it all back together saw this video and figured I'd give a little update on it

I never did like any Camaro after 1981. The car is only original once and painting the Z28 would be a big mistake and lower the value. Some people just don’t understand what money a survivor can bring in especially 1967-72 Z28’s. GN. The plant that built the GN had the worst paint job of all the plants GM ran. My ‘87 GN from new had a visible paint run on the drivers rear qtr. The paint is the last yr for lacquer and I just left it cause they wouldn’t match it plus having the original paint will be more valuable. I would get a paint correction person to do his best on the complete car. I would not paint anything. I bet you didn’t know this but in Canada, if you complained in 1990 about your paint they agreed to strip and repaint the complete car for free IF you were the original owner. Fresh paint will stand out like a sore thumb especially black and besides, it’s against the law now to use lacquer. So yrs later you could end up with a paint reaction that causes blistering then the whole qtr will need to be stripped to bare metal and that would really stand out.

This was my favorite car of yours

Man! My feelings are hurt too! I have an 85 RS with the 2.8 V6. I was having a he'll of a time setting the timing..until I found you and your Camaro. You taught me how to set my timing with your Camaro. Can't wait to see what you work in next

😔

Two things: 1. Don’t sell the GN I think you’d regret that. 2. If you ever wanna sell that L98 I’d be interested in that one.

I think I feel worse than you do. 😢 Do me a favor please, please leave the Camaro playlist - up on youtube. Also, will you please add an email address to your channel Community or About page? Thanks.

He BREATHED on the key and it came to life ! You can tell this car is WELL put-together / built !

Am working on 2022 suburban. About 3hr each mount labor time. I removed exhaust manifold for easier access. Easy if u have impact gun. Mounts harder then exhaust, can't reach bolts easily. Still a pain. (4x4)

After replacing shoes, drums, springs, parking brake cables, and rubber hose- the issue causing my passenger side rear drum to get hot turned out to be a worn backing plate not allowing the shoes retract all the way. If your backing plates have grooves from the brake shoes then it’s time to replace them.

Nice car ! Beautiful survivor , great job of taking care of it .

Where did you get the last clips from?

Is it built with the hooker ls turbo manifolds? If so any clearance issues with steering box?

Do you need a 40 breaker or can a double 30 do the job

Informative, good to have watched it,

Sounds like a shitty Harley what do you mean?

Feeling your pain, hope it all worked out. I tried out the tp205 mainly for a possible leak from my crankshaft seal, I have a dodge journey 2.4 and it's still leaking, not sure where so I am back to the drawing board...lol

I have a 71 nova I'm restoring and had the same issue reinstalling the springs but I figured it out and it's so simple. Get a 3/16 threaded rod 3 nuts and 1/8" thick washer. Run rod thru upper arm into spring and out bottom a arm. Add the 1/8" washer to bottom of rod with 2 nuts and 2 washers and nut at top of rod. Tighten hand tight then pry spring in pocket continue to tighten until spindle can be reattached. Remove rod install shock. Very doable good luck

Very cool !!!

If I'm not mistaken that hood hinge is designed to lock open with just one hand operation....yu just push it up and release it after pushing it up....correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you need to use two hands @!!

Next time get a friend to hold the camera and get a closer look at things.

I always loved the g bodies back in the eighties but now that I have the 3rd gen camaro f body, RS, I pick it hands down. It gives a thrill in speed, looks, and hugging the road, which feels great when driving cool cars. The 80 g bodies feel like your grandpas 70 buick electra 225 going down the road swaying lolling in luxury! I also now realize that the g bodies where invented to give the office worker a slight feeling of sporty luxury - luxury first - sport second - and the f bodies were invented for the young thrill seeker - sport first - forget the luxury!

No manual sounds better than the Muncie close ratio 4 speeds! This car seems to have the perfect hwy rpm in 4th. CAmmed up they dont like being lugged actually more efficient having some rpm to them.

Love it... she's a NY car.

I also liked how the pontiac 2+2 looked like. No one really talks about it tho

all the pre 1974 , and the third gens, are the best looking Camaros

had a low milage 84 white on blue Monte SS from 88 to 2001 .. sorry I sold it , had 255/60s in back & 235s up front on the factory steelies filled up the wheel wells & gave it the stock car look ,forced the suspension to do is job & it loved winding roads... loved that car .. kinda expected it to be a standard Monte with a sticker package but it was so much more... watch the A pillars ... filled with foam & a bad weld allows it to absorb water & rust ... had to have it removed on mine to fix funny I bought an 87 Firenza GT as an every day driver in around the same time . 2.8 ...5 spd Muncie ,same HP with rack & pinion ... 1/2 the weight .... J car ... Z24 & Sunbird GT & Firenza GT Hugely Under Rated Cars , My 2.8W fell prey to the poor cylinder wall hardening problem they had at the time at 70,000KM & I dropped a new 3.1 out of a 94 Z24 in it... didnt realize when GM switched from the 2.8 to the 3.1T they detuned the transmissions .... when I bolted the 3.1 to my old ratio transmission HOLY CRAP

What do you think about LIQUI MOLY Cera Tec?

Did you end up selling this car?

My Mazda CX five behave the same way, I was able to disconnect and reconnect the battery. I thought all was fine. A week later it happened again followed again by two days later I now have an ignition system fault message. The button blinking red. If the problem is the ignition button replacement from AutoZone will be 250 dollars and it’s not OEM.

Nice build I just don’t like the color but each to their own

Good job. Never give up...

About to start this project on my 87 Monte... except my metal is all rusted out. Any tips?

I always wanted the Grand National but couldn't afford the extra money required to buy one so bought the 1985 Olds Cutlass 442, black of course but mine had the gray interior and electric sunroof. I would say that there is hardly any comparison except the cruising comfort. Transmissions may be the same but I never liked the mushy 200R4. Mine did have higher mileage though. These transmissions are suited to a rebuild with a shift kit which makes a nice difference and a crisper shift. U could drop a 700R4 into it, also. The gutless 170-180 hp 307 was a real disappointment. The 373 rear gear helped make it enjoyable. Too bad it wasn't a posi. It was a great cruiser. It floated down the road and people liked the look of it. I think the 442 had a classier interior and the GN had the better engine. Although 3000 442 cars were made, only 200 made their way to Canada. Those low production numbers here made it slightly more collectible. I loved my 442 and still miss it a great deal even today, 10 years after I sold it. Gotta love the G bodies. Would really LOVE to have a GN but sadly could never afford one now either, being so close to retirement. I keep buying lotto tickets and dreaming. Thanks for showing us your machines. You are very fortunate to have such great classics. Zee Mitchell Ottawa, Ontario Canada

I would like to own both... I favour the Olds because that I like the lore... however I also like the Buick V6 so I am torn... thanks for sharing!
