Thank you for that and I’m glad they have helped. I’m about to start making videos again real soon. Channel update coming soon. Camaro is just like it was in the last video maybe a little more dusty. Stay tuned. JD
I’m sure you know this, usually there is another build sheet under one of the rear seat bottoms between the foam and spring “cage”. And it’s usually in MUCH better condition than the one above the fuel tank
Hey Tom, I'm looking forward to it as well. Just got in all the parts today and will have a video coming up on those and then the tear down and rebuild. JD.
@@JDOffline getting ready to swap one my diff to another 10 bolt that I built with posi 3:42 gears, and looking to add a sway bar since I'll be in there.
Yes, I'm looking forward to it as well. I just got in all the parts for it today and will make a video on the new parts, the tear down and the new parts installation. Stay tuned to the channel!! JD
Hey I'm rebuilding a 78 z28 myself and noticed that with the car in the air I can't turn the rear wheels. Would that mean the rear end needs to be rebuilt?
I would probably start with more obvious stuff first like the E brake or drums being stuck. If those things aren't the issue then I would take off the driveshaft and see if they turn then or maybe just put the car in neutral. If they still don't turn then tear into the axle. I'm not a mechanic but that's what I would do. If it's the original axle you'll end up going through it just to change the fluids, seals etc and you can inspect all the parts when you do that. Hope this helps. JD
Just curious and I am old school but I was just wondering why you put the raised white lettering on the inside instead of the outside? I know everyone has their own preference, I just really like the look of white letter tires, especially on classic and or vintage muscle cars. Either way, this is one of my favorite builds on you tube! Love your channel.
You know I debated with this and ultimately decided to go with the white letters inside but I could go either way with honestly. I'm old school as well and like that look but the end look of the car will be all blacked out so I thought the raised white letters wouldn't look right on the outside. I can always have them flipped around if I change my mind! Thanks again for all your comments and for checking out the videos. JD
Just want to say that your videos have proven to be an incredibly valuable resource me as I've been restoring my '79 Camaro.

Incredible clean rear-end attachment sites.
The whole car is clean, advantage of a California car! JD

I did not know that, thank you I will look for it. JD
When things go according to plan for me, I start worrying! 😮😮😜
I agree Jack, nothing ever goes according to plan with these old cars. I pay a price in a later video when I break the pinion shaft bolt off! JD

Did that too!
Nice job John! I am looking forward to seeing the rebuild on the axle!

By looking at the sway bar, looks new, where did you get it from? Thx
It was on the car when I bought it. Looks like a summit racing brand but not 100% sure. JD

How much for the shocks? 😆
Haha man those things are old school for sure!! They held air for about a day. JD
