Being a fellow detailer for many years, I give credit to your eye for detail, the car has come along way with your work
2008-2013 Corvette and the 2014-2016 Chevrolet SS came with the LS3. That Nova also has an aftermarket front subframe, the factory strut towers are not there. Keep up the good work fellas.

Is the car still for sale and if yes how much.
Also manual camaros from 2010 to 2015 had the ls3 as well.
Good job. Looks great.
Now the work begins, to disassemble this mess.
Cheers
You should start charging for detailing cars. It's great content and very addictive to watch. You fellas are good at this. Thanks for sharing your hard work and expertise.
Hurricane Ian made landfall right where I live. For the first time in my life I was legitimately terrified. I did the best to shore up my fence and enclosed carport because those were destroyed in Hurricane Irma. The experience paid off but nobody was prepared for 150+ MPH winds. I had very little damage and no storm surge. However, just a mile to my West, 8 feet of water stood in the community just across the highway. Many of my friends and coworkers lost everything. many have unlivable homes with all the drywall removed. I don't know what to say but I was fortunate. I cannot imagine having to live the reality of the worst case scenario whether it be a home, business, or vehicles.
Thank god you're okay, Kenny.
Ouch that hurts my coat fool nice job 👍though. Very good job son.
We lost everything in Super Storm Sandy hit long Island NY on 10-29-2012
We never did recover but we are alive and the sun is out today.
Life goes on. :-)
When Hurricane Michael tried to wipe Bay County off the face of the earth along with the surrounding areas, I think many of us got an education. NEVER, EVER put your full faith in the weather guessers! If it is headed your way, GO! We kept hearing high three, maybe low four....NOTHING about a cat 5! I stayed because I had no place to go with ten cats so I toughed it out with them. There is nothing that will send your heart rate into overdrive like seeing your next door neighbor's house explode and just get scattered all over the place, My house was built in an era when they BUILT houses and it did quite well, just needed some roof and ceilings repaired. My outbuildings might have been okay for the most part until my neighbor's rotten century Oak fell on them! The biggest problem we had, once people could get in to us was finding anyone LEGITIMATE to do the repairs and rebuilding.
I survive hurricane Andrew
I have a '63 Nova SS convertible with factory air I bought in 1978, still all stock. You did an amazing job on that detailing. I wish you were closer to send you some work!
You guys never cease to amaze me 😊
Wow this was very satisfying video 📹 😍
Nice job on what you did. You noted how high the flood was, so the question I have is what about the mud trapped behind the door panels in side doors and rear interior panels and inside quarter panels underneath side glass and reason the car is forsale the car was in a salt bath so no thank you on the rust time bomb. Been there !
It washed off. But I have it ready striped. That would end it.
im not sure if you understand how long it takes to rust and its been cleaned inside and out its not gonna rust like that
This is sooo satisfying!!! Good job!!!
Appearance wise it looks amazing. I would have also taken the seats apart and replaced the foam as well as the door panels as they are both absorbent and would retain smells. I would have pulled the steering wheel and blown out water inside the steering column and treated wiring and I would have treated any unpainted metal like the floors and doors with a rust converter as they were soaked in salt water.
Carfax: “Clean”. 😂
I had a '65 Malibu SS. This detail reminds me a lot of that car, awesome work.
great video. awesome to see the car come back like that. perfect car to do this with. what a gem.
Wow what a transformation !
After sitting in salt water I am suprised that threr wasn't any rust.
Great job as usual, keep up the good work guys !
My dad had a 1963 or 1964 Nova SS, Maroon/Black in color and a 3 spd manual on the floor. It was a nice car.
Amazing transformation if I had not already purchased a condo car I would be very interested in this beauty! Great job boys!!
Every thing is possible if there is a will!
Great job! Thank you.
Love these Lil chevy 2 novas. I've had 2 63's both hard tops but always did like the verts. Great job with the clean up. Glad it was saved and lived another day.
You guys do a great job. I wish you were my area in Jersey. We will have anybody that does thorough as you guys
Wow! Incredible work Boys!!!
Wow, it looks amazing! Great work!
Man this car termed out really well you did a wonderful job everything is perfect thanks for giving it your time and no how to bring this gorgeous car back to life
It looks Soo much better!!
Looks superb my brothers great job💙💙
Definite yes on the steel wool and polish
perfect transformation very good job ❤️
What a transformation. When u polished the steering wheel and all the rest of the chrome, it made a difference.
this was a good one. you guys have some of the best cars to clean
Wow, the pressure wash was so cool and satisfying to watch! To be honest, I didn't think you would manage to get all the mud off, it looked so solid and hard. Amazing job 👏
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
Wow , looks amazing
Old cars are always the best ones
I wonder what the inside of those doors look like?
What a great job and a BEAUTIFUL car well DONE ✔
Absolutely Beautiful !!!!
Hey, you guy's do a great job!! love the puro cleaner!
You do awesome work. That Chevy Nova doesn't need a paint job . Looks great as is.
Always a great idea to bring back the shine .
Replace the engine with an LS5 and totally restore the Nova my favourite USA Car well done guy's 👍
just pressure-washing the mud off is satisfying.
Awesome finish guys!
Looks great now. The problem is salt never gives up...
Inside door panels, 1/4 panels, frame and all welds.
I would re clean everything at least 2 more times.
Good luck.
He stated that after the detail the car is going to be completely disassembled. That smell is a combination of seawater and raw sewage 🤮🤮
Major difference! Great job.
Awesome job as usual you guys are great.
Amazing transformation!
Paint looks amazing like it is beautiful love red
Simply, wow 👌 👏
❤
I would guarantee the cylinders and crankcase are full of water and mud along with trans and differential. If it has clutch fan that'll also need replacing. It definitely will be a looker when it's all finished. I had similar experience with a flooded with a 80's Chevy pickup. These were all the things I found wrong with it. Hope this helps.
My OCD was going nuts when you were spraying the water all inside the car. Like "AARRRGGGH!" But I think this LS can be started again. From what I understand, so long as it wasn't running and no water got sucked into it, should be fine. Am I a pro? Nope. Just what I've been told. Came out ready for a new lease on life! Beautiful Nova SS
Wow. I've had to clean flooded cars a couple of times and you're so lucky that the only thing that got mud on was the surface of the carpet! Not on the belts or even under the floor mats, let alone under the carpet!
Interior pressure washing is always awesome 😎
It's always a fun time haha!
What about the mud and silt behind door panels, under the dash, etc
Steering wheel looks great
Steering wheel looks great .
Turned out awesome!!!! Why are they repainting it, from the vid, the paint looks great.
Did you guys pull the door panels and interior trim panels? Never get the smell out unless that is all cleaned too.
Baita serviço! Parabéns pelo canal! Acompanho de Santana de Parnaíba, São Paulo, Brasil
Big difference on the steering wheel great job 👍
Just what I used to do with my mountny 3 spoke steering wheel wire wool is great on chrome too. I wish I could still drive I would love this Car 👍
Nice work as usual, guys. This car looks like it’s already restored.
Beautiful! My dream car
Very good work
15:01 yeahhh👍🏻
Super awesome! Not everyday you get these opportunities! I just scored a client with a very impressive car collection. And I get to detail and show prep all 40+ of his cars and motorcycles. Should keep me busy for a few weeks!
Nice dude! That's super exciting!
Hi there, You guys did a Fantastic job on that car it 1 of the Chevy Nova’s that, I like very much and you see a Red and White Convertible it’s Fantastic ! Keep up the great jobs that you guys are doing !! You guys nailed it !!
This made me miss my 65 that I owned back in 88. It was a hardtop with a 283 and Saginaw 4 speed. A drunk in a Ford truck hit me one Saturday night and destroyed it. It was no LS but it was a screamer with the cammed out 283.
Sweet ride
I love the colour of this car ❤
Nice job on the cleaning and detail work. Here's hoping the new owner doesn't live anywhere near any flood plain region.
Muita perfeição no que faz!!
❤
Most beautiful work I seen. Do you get to keep the car, you deserve it
Excelent Job !
Congratulations !
From Querétaro México 👍🤓🙏👏👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great job guys you are the best my brother you killed it looks like never anything happen to this car
The steering wheel looks great. You could have also used some never dul. That stuff is amazing!
I'll check it out!
Wow that's awesome and amazing 🚗 it's my dream car God bless you 🙏 😊 it worth every penny of it good job 👏 😀
Nice work...
Sweet!!!
Beautiful 👊🏻👊🏻💯
All that room under that hood. Plenty of room for a couple of turbos 😀
WOW!!!!!!!!
❤
nice ride
Love it.
This is one favorit Cars, like it so much ❤
6:46 My favorite part
on the back there’s a badge that says the engine is an LS3.
i know. nothing about american cars but that is one stunning car and great job on the finish!
U did a good result at the end made me surprised
Trick question lol. It came in the vette but also the Camaro and the Pontiac G8 GTP lol. Beautiful car though! Seeing things like this makes me happy I in the SW. We barely get rain or snow much less disasters like that. I think there was a tornado in the 80s once 🤣
Hey boys, nice job. Given what it looks like to me I would think (as a non mechanical guy) this car looks intact and worth restoring rather than parting. If it was hammered and dented and rusted then maybe not but, give its appearance and that you think it has already been gone through before it seems like it would not be a big reach to make it street ready again. Thanks again boys and all my best to you always.

Nice job on the steering wheel !
Awesome job guys that is a really nice vehicle I wouldn't mind having it myself that card demonstrates how back in the day they made vehicles practical but durable unlike today too many electronics
That's a purdy nice lookin old ride, it just needs a little TLC, and aughta start right up, I would suggest giving the motor a good going over, because the rest of it cleaned purdy well.
Sad to see the Nova destroyed by the flood, it's a rare car that deserves to be restored. Chevy made a Nova SS Convertible only one year, 1963, and total production number of convertibles in '63 was around 25000 cars. There are no records of how many of those were SS cars, maybe 10000? So it's a rare car nowadays...
Nice job greetings from Gothenburg Sweden 🫶🫶👏🏻👏🏻
Nice car 🔥
I was flooded last year in Whatcom County Washington, and it flooded my 1947 Ford Coupe. I have to say the dog food mixed with the silt is very accurate. I had dog food in everything I owned.
Nice car ❤
Great Video. Very satisfying to look at. I wonder why it needs to be repainted. It looks great to me. Maybe red is a bit old fashion looking.
Corvette motor LS, good job on polishing the steering wheel 👍🏾
That car really cleaned up nicely. You did a great job. How do you make vinyl soft again and what product did you use to wash the convertible top?
Last of Holden VF Commodore had this engine in it.
i was wondering who detailed it for Boris this is gonna make someone a cool ride once its gone through.. beautiful work yall do
I was supposed to buy that Nova SS from Copart and forgot to bet. Came out nice after detailing
