I like "dad told us we have to eat Ramen noodles because he bought a sports car" LOL
" Some kids don't have ramen or a dad" Dude is a savage
That’s gold!!!!
@@mauricecooper176 yeah he's the man ahaha
Some things you have to sacrifice for lol
@@Gor1llaK1ng3 Some things you have to sacrifice your kids for
Rich towing a ZO6 with a Hummer is a level of freedom I wasn't prepared for.
'Merica, FORK yea! 🦅
Watching you remove that cheap chrome trim was like going to therapy
ASMR chrome removal - new yt short by your favourite uncle Rich..
Long live General Zod! He shall bring peace and balance to the force.

it's the wizard
Wizard u wish u could b rich
"This car is costing me way too much money"
- Buys another car to tow it
- Buys new parts for it
- Puts gas on it
- Removes it from the garage and promptly breaks it
hahaha, yeah, makes perfect sense :)
He didn't put gas ON it yet.
Worth it.
There's always a little bit of truth in all of Rich's life stories. And your mom sounds like a cool mom.
she showed up in an episode a few years back
I’ll say it I’m not scared. This man makes badass content just by talking and showing clips of old videos. I love it.
"I found the weakest link."
Was it the loose nut between the steering wheel and the driver's seat? ;)
eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Those side steps were clearly a quality product with a lot of life left in them!
11:50 they are assuming that you still have the original lights so you can reuse the light socket from the reflector housings.
Also you probably already did it but make sure that it is sealed up very very well. Water was probably getting in through that hole with the wires and causing the light failure.
Rich I'm flying out just to drive this car. See you soon.
LegitStreetCars I fixed this car for 200 dollars lol (Keep up the good work)
That’d be awesome if you guys did a meet up, I’m also in Massachusetts not very far from Rich
@@charlie1832 I'm in CT, not more than an hour or so from Rich...
Be careful, he's going to make you pay for lunch.
Legit (LOL) - Next communication you have with Streten. Mention the fact that you support Fascism. Straten will really appreciate knowing who and what your core values are.
I've heard that with age, one side will start to sag lower than the other.
That fake chrome removal was pretty damn satisfying
always looks like crap when people stick that shit on
Rich explaining how he wanted to take a break to just "take one drive" was sincere af.
I felt that sh1t...
Also, raffle ticket purchase confirmed! Bring on that winning ticket, baby!
Crazy how a line of leds with a fitted plastic case and wiring harness is $350… should be like $35!?!
Corvette Tax
@@ajfurnari2448 no it’s oracle overpriced Chinese shit is what it is
Well they had to engineer in that quality GM "fails immediately post warranty" feature, come on now. That ain't easy!
GM: "BuT LEds hAVE A MuCh BeTtEr LIfespAN"
...Product breaks after one year mark.
More like $3,50 but yeah
Nice work on the Chrome. Added another grand in value taking that trash off ✌️
The laugh when inspecting the carnage was priceless! I've been there with so many guys after helping with performance upgrades on D-max's for truck pulls and drag strips but the light hearted chuckling at inspection time after something grenades NEVER gets old! Ca-ching, ca-ching... I can actually feel my wallet getting fatter knowing I've got more cash work to do LoL...
it's the circle of life!
The General matches you perfectly Rich, never sell it.
And you’re the first person I know of who agrees with me about the C6 being the best corvette. C7’s were nice, but too conforming to the trending European design language. And as glad as I am that the C8 is finally Mid-engine, the design didn’t tug on my heartstrings like the ‘09 Blue Devil. Which to this day is still my dream car.
Yeah. I thought the C8 would grow on my but it still looks as ugly as when it was released. The rear nearly just looks like a Camaro.
None of the lines flow on it either. C5 and C6 is prime corvette age and price wise.
@@nuddin99 Yeah I was on the livestream of the C8’s reveal lol. I wouldn’t call it ugly, just similarly to the C7 it’s too form-fitting and forgettable (almost rental car like). But I wasn’t too disappointed knowing the platform has plenty of potential in future remodels.
I agree the C5 was “the most” corvette of corvettes lol. Then the C6 finally gave it the athletic look to match its performance. I just hope Corvette Racing tries recapturing and improving the look that made corvettes the icon that they are, and not keep giving in to the styling cues that are trending at the time..
So wait, you don't even have a C6, and you're comparing a ZR1 to a base model C8? Alrighty, then. Typical RUclips commenter: commenting on things they don't own.
Also, I'd love to see all these European cars with hard lines like the C7 in the 2014...because, you know, Europe is fairly large and consists of quite a few countries that manufacture A LOT of different cars. Maybe be a wee bit more specific.
@@rustler08 I think your head would pop off if you visited a comment section of a limited edition Ferrari. Believe it or not people have opinions of a design they like, but not (yet) owned.
And if you really need me to spell out the European styling cues of 2014, I’m capable of doing so for you. Just I’d expect someone this invested in car design and my comment would understand the jist of what I’m referring to (not agree, but understand). The C7 was a great looking car, but there was no denying it’s European influence, and it’s departure from the traditional corvette design language.
The "Some kids don't have a Dad or Ramen" made me laugh so hard
I think the problem was caused by Rich ditching the custom tag (GMEOVER) for a standard one. The C6 didn't appreciate that.
The i8 certainly lived up to it
The one currently on the Corvette isn't even valid.

The sigh of relief I let out when you fixed the exhaust tip
I think all of us OCD folks let out a collective sigh of relief after the pain stopped when he fixed that!
Let’s fix that thing and get it right!!!
This would be a great collab! :D
Bob I have known rich for a LONG time. Met him way back in the day when we built his buddies car.
@@RaceProvenMotorsports Awesome! So, any chance of seeing an LS swapped Tesla on your dyno? I know BMW's aren't allowed LOL
Well, at least the exhaust tips line up now.
that was. hilarious....I saw in the beginning that pipe was not straight
*Thank you for removing the chrome from that H2👍. You Won🥇the internet today for that move❕*
Watching them cheap chrome pieces being ripped off was satisfying! 😂😂
Very nice build. At first I thought it was $2249.00 per axle but the price is for the set. Should sting a little less:)
used axles on ebay are $100 each
“Walk of Shame “. 🤣😭. Rich you kill me..🙌🏼🇺🇸
This video reminded me of the older content on the channel. I love the look of the C6 way more than any other Corvette. I’d love to get one someday
Without a doubt my favourite car on the channel. Even with a broken axle
You are the one RUclipsr I religiously attempt to watch every time you put out new content. I always look forward to your videos no matter what you all are doing.
However I'm in the middle of a Demolition Deby at Buck Motorsports so I'll have to catch this one later.
Come to PA and jump in on this...
10:14 STAINLESS , or get regular ones, heat them up, dunk them in used motor oil. They won't rust anymore.
Anyone notice the break light falling off at 16:30. That was the cherry on top of the "Rich tries to fix another car" cake.
I just love how angry that thing sounds.
You'd be angry, too, if someone left you outside in the weather for years and neglected you to the point that the next time you go for a ride to air things out, you pop your rear axle. 🤭🤣
I didn't even realize until the very end that he decided to go for his drive before he bothered to put the other new headlight or the bumper back on. Who _does_ that? Well, obviously Rich does, but I mean, come on. Do the soldering on the other headlight assembly while you've got the soldering iron set up anyway.
(I've got wicked ADHD, but I'm also compulsive almost to the point of disorder. I could leave the work half finished until the next day, as long as I wasn't going to drive the car. Driving it with only one headlight is just... not an option.)
thats what usually happens when someone says i just gotta drive it one time lol
We love the humor.....Your kids eating Ramen....LOL....Perfect Dad! He knows priorities!!!
hunnie doing the figure 8's showed absolutely no mercy to the limiter or the tires❤😂😂😂😂
That hunnie is Collete Davis
You should see her 3 rotor break in burnout.
@@firefighter494 that sounded very defensive lol but thanks
@@davidjameswales I'll look for that
Yeah I guess it did lol didnt mean for it too
I have the same passion for the same car my brother. I’m definitely a c6 Vette man. My 09 z was and is my dream car. Sold her when I got married and I will have another c6 soon. Been thinking about a 2010 GS. Love your content brother. Keep killin it!!! God Bless America 🇺🇸
That’s what happens when you don’t drive a car for a long time. It’s the weirdest thing but it’s like they get pissed at you and just start breaking
Nothing was meant to sit for years and deteriorate, so it actually makes sense.
“Yass” a classic Rich Rebuilds episode! Buying vehicles, unpimping them, restoring classics! 🥰🥰
12:00 Rich actually working on his car!!!
Really enjoyed watching Rich work on his old favorite car!
We all have one of those old computer cords laying around... I guess they make a great belt! 🤣
The due diligence, the research, the work put into a #RichRebuilds video is nothing short of amazing as well as amusing. And while I am not a Corvette fan (except for the fact that I want a '72 Stingray in Corvette Yellow w/a 454 and a 4spd), I am glad that you are doing the RIGHT THING by the General, and breaking the rear end? WTH, Uncle Rich?😢
Also is it just me or is it relaxing af to see the car getting fixed ?
Wow, a Rich Rebuilds video where Rich... actually rebuilds something!!
@8:11 Dinner for the dolphins. Always thinking of others. Nice one Rich!
replacing rusted screws, very interesting topic, never seen that to a restoration channel, you really nailed it with the extreme repairs Rich
You should have let it sit for 20 more years, then you could make one of those "will it's start after 20 years?" Videos
I think Rich has more tow rigs then trailers and cars combined.
Got to go with diode dynamics for led stuff. Best decision you will make. Plus the warranty and customer service are top notch. That’s all I buy for my cars.
I recently purchased an atomic ZOd myself... I'm in love and won't ever sell either.
I went with the morimoto tails, red with black center from trs (4th of July sale)...I opted to get the morimoto side markers too because they look more like an OEM reflector when off.
Reason your connector didn't work is because you needed the bulb socket from your original side marker, only thing you don't reuse is the bulb itself
That was a HOT beat you made using the wrench while removing the bumper bolts!
Maaaaaan, you hit the gas and that thing pooped parts all over the place!!! 😂😂😂😂hilarious; love this channel!!
Hey Rich, it's only Money and from the looks of things you can easily replace it with a good Arizona copy with ZERO Rust issues. Yes you can afford the shipping.
Thank you Jeezus for fixing those exhaust pipes!!! How you went this long without doing it boogles the mind
My boy, Zod! What did you do, Rich‽
That was fun! 🤣
Oracle is definitively a bad LED lighting company. Lol everything I ever bought from them burned out very quickly and I had expensive replacement problems like you have had!
Sounds as bad as Recon
Remember when LED's were supposed to last 10+ years? Did the Big Bulb industry introduce defects to make them die sooner
@@Chris-rg6nm Part of the problem is that LED bulbs are made up of more than one element: but you need to replace the whole unit at once.
So even if the MTBF is 10 years for each individual LED: when you have 20 of them, one may burn out prematurely.
Diode dynamics >>>
LEDs are made on a big wafer and the center ones are the expensive and long lasting ones. The outer ones are complete crap. That’s why many corporations will buy the cheaper outer ones that fail (saves costs).
7:51 thank you. this was very satisfying for my eyes and ears.
I think the C6 Z06 is the best looking Corvette ever period. And that dark blue makes it even more gorgeous. Though I have to say I would have had the original headlights refurbished.
You have an awesome mother.
Rich, the video editing is gold! 🤣
Do I see Rich working on a car?!! Really! OMG! The good old days! Are back! I think. The great thing is that i did not see his ugly toes. Thank God!
3:14 I expected there to be some chaos I didn't expect to be that emotionally connected to the chaos
When a car like that sits for so long it becomes undrivable, you know you've got too much money.
Interior quality is the least of the H2s issues.
Love seeing you put time into General Zod.
Really nice watching rich do something n talk about it by himself , i love the group but i like the change up a little too , that a bad thing ?
Average person: 🤬😖🤦🏾♂️😖🤬🤦🏾♂️
Rich: 18:50 🤣🤣🤣
That's why we love you, bro! 🙏🏾👌🏾🙌🏿
Ahhh I can smell the gasoline all the way from over the pond. Well done Richie, we're back to roots. More gas! ⛽️⛽️⛽️
Thank God this channel exists Rich
Dammit Rich, this is why we can't have nice things!!
Good send! It's what we all live with!
How does a car guy loose the keys to his favorite car?
It’s so funny because you are the one person that agrees 100% with me about the best modern Corvette generations.
Literally the best editing and comedic timing on RUclips.
I love that belt! Sort of a new/retro look! Love it! I cringe *every time* when I see Rich putting a car on, or off, a trailer...witch Crocs...wow. But, great episode. Not sure if you'll be able to top the 24 Hours of LeMons episode. But this was good. :)
Rich: Guess the part?
Dude: Camshaft?
Me: 🤨
18:28 And I took that personally
"Some kids don't have a dad or ramen" 😂😂😂😂😂 Rich I love you

11:03 FIRST OF ALL... PULL UP YOUR DRAWLS, JAIL CELL SUZIE...
AND B ... IS THAT A POWER CORD BELT?
'Some kids don't have a dad or ramen'. I love this channel.
I absolutely love the Corvette c6 ZO6, I am kinda looking for one now. Problem is, I live in the Netherlands , like the most unfriendly sportscar country in Europe. They are very rare and prices are high. And to top that, we have almost the highest fuel prices in the world... But I still want one! I wonder how much miles per gallon it does, realistically

WTF been watching LZ for years, never noticed Collette has different colored eyes. Neato.
EDIT: Damn AND A Fensler Film shoutout? Nice!
That plate is worth a fortune now
Glad you are actually working on cars again, very nice!
14:55 was honestly masterful 🤌🏿😂
So we are going to see more Zod repair videos in the future. Nice.
Rich: I want to take a break.
Vette: I just got off a decade long break, don't worry about that fender lol
18:19 I hope the coolant temp is not really 255 degrees!!!

Those side marker lights would look nicer body colored. Man that vet was moving until that axle burst. Wow 🤩 that car rips! Me likey.
Nothing more poetic than dragging a sports car. The goal was performance unlike the average. Realistic results is a flinstones car (at times)
COME FIX MY CAR NOW!!!
The Hummer H2 was the biggest and absolute worst POS I ever drove in! Of course one will end up on Rich Rebuilds. LOL! And yeah, the C6 Z06 was the best GM product I ever drove on a track and I too would never part with it. It's the definition of true classic Corvette DNA. Not the C8 no matter how great it is an engineering win. Rich didn't disappoint, proving he's the biggest idiot behind a steering wheel.
🤨🤔😆
That axle snapped like General Zod's neck. 😆 🤣
Man I hit like before the end of the Katt Williams part. Less than 90 seconds in. "IT LOOK LIKE A CHRYSLER THREE HUN-DREDT."
I have a c8; I love it the way it looks. It had to evolve and the Ferrari silhouette is beautiful.
As much as I like the C6 I generally don't like cars with long hoods. Reminds me too much of a giant cock.
"the Ferrari silhouette is beautiful" On a Ferrari...
It was always meant to be mid engined, and it looks great with one. I don’t think there’s ever been a prettier car made in America.
This is my literal dream car. I WILL OWN ONE ONE DAY!
I hope it is soon. I've had mine for about three years and it is fabulous. Good luck!
I was gonna buy the Oracle side markers for my Scat Pack. After reading reviews and things I went with MaxBeam. Been 3 years now, no burned LEDs when I got rid of her. Bought same markers for my Hellcat, hopefully quality is still the same.
Dude you worked in a Fensler Film reference. Unreal!!!
