Richie seems like a good ole boy ... "ya know" and "its gonna look real perty". Love these guys, pretty humble but in reality they have mad skills. Seems like the perfect craftsman for the manner in which you have chosen to go with the restoration. Can't wait to see it come along going to be a "perty" cool build as Richie would say. 😎
Strange....I am not sold on your ideas personally. However, diversity is what makes the world go around. With soooooo many z28 and ss cars out there, it will be refreshing to see something different running around. Stay true to yourself and have fun my friend. God bless!
Lookin good, my first car was a 68, convertible 327. It belonged to my dad. Wish I had it now but I have a 18 Mustang GT convertible so that’s okay. Great series.
I'm always impressed by a restorers skills like Ritchie's to be able to keep a car body aligned with bracing when major pieces are removed. Although I'm not a fan of patina on modern era cars, your Camaro might look cool anyway, especially with a vinyl top. Good Luck with this project.
Going to be a awesome ride! Some thoughts on the mini-tubs. I put a set into a 70 Camaro recently, DSE's. Since I had to cut out about 2 1/2 inches of the floor and seat frame and weld in the flange, it might be better to get the floor put in first. That way your weld the flange to the new floor. I had a NOS tail panel and compared it to a AMD tail panel and found no difference and the AMD tail panel actually fit just a little better around the edge of the tail lights.
What wheels are you going with? I think a grey rally wheel in the 17-18" modern upsized versions with trim rings and low profile center caps would look sharp.
Wow, nice work. This car will be bitchin'. Seems like you have the vision for what you want. At least you won't have to worry about dinging up the paint on assembly.
I’ve used cerakote. Depending on which series you’re using it’s very tough. I used their hight temp stuff on a set of headers and have found it to be the best product I’ve used so far. I used it on a set of headers on my Camaro 3 years ago. They look as good as the day I did them.
Cerakote will scratch very easily so expect that. I also would not recommend it on headers. We all thought that too. Better to use Jet Hot. Hopefully you mixed the black and gold from the same product family. If not it may have adhesion problems. Lot of experience with Cerakote. I introduced it to the largest firearms company in the US when I was there. We were also Cerakote's first firearm customer.
Hey Parker, just wondering....why on earth would you want to leave rust and faded paint on the outside of this beautiful Camaro..? You obviously must like it, I guess???....and yet...the process of rust has started and by using this care every day when finished, and so exposing this car to the weather the rust processes all over the car will sooner or later chew this Camaro up... Such a shame that you do not preserve this Camaro from rust. I mean faded paint...: ok if you really must, but rust....really???
I have a question, would it lt have been better and cheaper to start with a car that was in better shape? I can see spending mega money to resrore a super rare SS Camaro, but as I recall this was a straight 6 which is the least desirable Camaro to own. Let me know if I am missing something.
That's for the next guy, or the next 😂😂😂 looks like they are getting and cutting out all the hidden rust... Check out DD Speed Shop, Danny has a 67 Camaro build. He cuts all the cancer, shows step by step, and he's even going to paint this car.
A row of perfect Camaros at a car show is boring. A row of Camaros with patina like this car would be very interesting to see. This type of car has character. Looking forward to the final result. Keep up the great work.

Good pick! That’s quality gun finish! Great corrosion resistance. It’s really good stuff.
man, that Richie is a wizard!
Bill Hirsh paint is some of the best for engines. Keep up the cool canary videos.
Glad to see this build! Keep us posted!

Cerakote has lots of cool colors to choose from. I have sprayed gun barrels. Remove all oil, sandblast, remove oil, spray, bake.
Good job. Enjoy the channel. 👍

I have a semi automatic shotgun that's bronze cerakoted. It's pretty bad azz looking lol
I think the Cerakote is a nice touch. The plan sounds killer and with the patina it will sure be a stunner. Nice work Ritchie 👍
I am on the fence about the patina look but I say a hard NO to the vinyl top. I like the shade of blue on the inside of the trunk lid.
I hope this project isn’t the last we see of Richie

Parker, are you going back with the original color?
glad youre keeping the patina. cant fake that
Where are the rest of the videos for this build? Am I missing something?
😎👍🏽
Nice work, where's the first video?
Yeee Yeee !!

Had me until the vinyl. But hey that what makes the world go around. Nice job.
Sub and a like!! Great channel!
Thanks man!
@@backyardbarnfindsgreat video! What was the satin black product you guys used on the back side of the panels?
I'm still not understanding why removing the rust (sand blasting or whatever) isn't high on your list
What is a roof skin. Looks like a whole new roof, no?

Power steering is very nice and easy.
Patina is just rust 🇺🇲

cant understand what is wrong with you guys today, fix the damn rust.
Patina is big right now. Not my thing but some of them do look cool.
That's for the next guy, or the next 😂😂😂 looks like they are getting and cutting out all the hidden rust...
Check out DD Speed Shop, Danny has a 67 Camaro build. He cuts all the cancer, shows step by step, and he's even going to paint this car.
Fix all the rust, put an expensive paint job on it then wrap it up in blankets in your garage and never drive it.

It makes me sick patina should only be for an old pickup truck
Leave the metal roof. Just paint patina to match. Looking gd
Blastfermer
First.
With all the sheet metal work done on the car I'd just paint or wrap it.
How much to a rap $$
Wrap
It's embarrassing to have an classic that looks like it's going to the junk yard. Why bother it's called LAZYNESS LAZINESS
