Full Build: Taking A 1972 Chevelle Barn Find Back To Its Former Glory
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 дек 2021
- The guys drag a classic Chevy out of a hay barn. They install a plethora of new body panels, upgrade the suspension and revamp the tired factory interior pieces. Next, the guys look at how to massage body panels too perfection before laying down the dazzling metallic baby blue paint job. Under the hood, Marc and Tommy plug a monster bowtie powerplant. To pay it off, they take it to a famous road in the Smoky Mountains.

Love the build !! - More impressed by the 3+ hours of a single build video and not one commercial...Fantastic!!
Not one commercial? You got a different video than I did
This series was filmed over many months. We just got lucky we got to watch the whole thing instead of parts.
ya the " full builds" are awesome, they cut up all the episodes and put all the portions of a specific car into its own restor video. this is what got my follow originally but theybhave so much good content. also the have the 70 challenger full build and this 71 chevelle and i have a 73 challenger and 72 el camino soooo basicaly perfect content
Apart from the commercials, no commercials
I’m I’m so
Locksmith here. It's to bad you weren't close to me. Key Code for trunk is on the glove box lock. We charge $5.00 for a single sided key by code... Plus it would've worked the doors as well. Just so long as nothing has ever been changed. Also, the codes might have even been on the original bill of sale. Great Vids by the way!
I really like theese two guys. No screaming, no messing about, just plain car resto 👍
I’ve been on the hunt for a 71 Chevelle to restore for my dad. It’s his favorite car and it’s my goal to surprise him with one I built.
I've got a '71 real SS 350 black with. Vinyl top if u wanna buy. I'm in NY.
@@jonm2416I’m in New York too
@@joshdenton1195 ohhh. My mistake. I have a '71 Nova SS...I thought you wrote Nova.
Absolutely the best restoration video I have ever watched.... the details on products, procedures, and the reasoning behind every move is incredible. Loved all of it. Am saving this forever. Thanks guys. You’re the best !! 😄😄
Couldn't agree more! I love how they go in extreme detail about every part all the way down to the first wash and what product they use. GG's.

Oh boy what a great Christmas present
Exactly lol. I was just getting bored looking for builds to watch yesterday. Couldnt have better timing lol.
Sure is brother

The amount of time, effort and pure love you guys put into your work is incredible. Amazing job as always.

I just love the full builds. I gotta say, Tommy is genuinely one of the coolest car dudes out there.
Why do the voice-overs of all televised car shows sound the same? It's always some graveled voice dude with a slight southern accent and lulls you to sleep.
nice
I feel like I've taken a college course, you guys are awesome. So educational. I'm very impressed with everything you guys have done. Thank you so much for everything I've learned from you.
T mom jv c
My husband bought a Chevelle for our son to fix up and get it running so he would have his own car , but knowing some kids like our son , he would rather blow his money on friends partying . Kids don't know how to be appreciative at times . My husband sold the car , wasn't in our sons name yet , so Chevelle went bye bye . It was metallic green , one of my favorite colors . Yours was in better shape bodywise and mechanical . Iam sure it will look sharper than what it was sitting in that barn . Real nice car , so beautiful ! 😍

Can't believe that it's been 34 years since I took another two years extra of school, to learn this stuff, painting....those were the days!
Excellent stuff fellas! 🤜🏻🤛🏻🍻
Greetings from a Swede in Glasgow, Scotland!
This series was a pleasure to watch. Lots of quality upgraded parts, with plenty of knowledgeable how-to's from Tommy on how to get'r done. This was a build most viewers can appreciate, as it is the type most are building themselves, not some over th' top show car.
Thanks for all the effort, The final results sure turned out nice on this '72 Malibu.
The only draw back is that announcer's phony gravelly voice shouting out idiotic blurbs between each scene. The build was awesome and these guys explain things so well!
@@bukka6697 I agree. It sounds like he's taking a s#!t.
шщшшщошщ
These guys are the BEST! The built was explained detail by detail with clear video descriptions. All parts installed were well referenced. Awesome job guys!
I had a 72 SS Chevelle, 396 putting 450 on the tires, 4 speed Muncie and 4:11 rear. After I lost my driver's license for 6 months due to tickets, my Dad made me sell it. I sure wish that I could have that one back.
I love what you guys do. I can't do it so I can at least watch you guys do it.
Incredible rebuilt, every aspect of this car is superbly done, great work guy's.
I called mine the Shovelle. Because it took a shovel to move the cash to pay for the Resto. Still cost less than the 65 Mustang to resto..... And they'd both been in the same shed for 35 years! Nice work guys!
That chevelle turned out awesome. Excellent job Tommy, you rock. You’re lil helper did a so-so job.
This is my all time favorite Detroit muscle build that paint job along is legendary who ever got this car is a lucky person,I'm so jealous, I know Tommy was hurt when that charger was sold you could have seen it that's how I was when this car was given away,straight up devastated😭
Marc ànd Tommy the Chevelle is truly a work of art. I enjoyed watching every moment of the,restoration.
You guys created a Masterpiece
Amazing piece of work. The only thing wrong with it is that it's not parked in my driveway :-)
$100K.
Ngl same
Same
No kidding. Taking notes though!
Why your driveway can't it be both of ares, we just keep it at my house lol
Comprehensive, definitive frame-off. Don't let the drawl fool you - these guys are top-drawer. This resto-mod looks outstanding. The quality of work is impeccable and the result is a very handsome car.
I wish they'd not played the background track while driving the "Dragon", really wanted to hear the engine doing it's thing.
The car sounds great and is a ton of fun to drive
Only a yankee would assume "the drawl" is bottom drawer. I am proud of my southern heritage!
Next topic:
I wanted to hear it too, Also wanted to see it run with hood up, and would of been awesome to see the 1000 HP smoke the tires. You know they did smoke em, just not on camera. These boys are young, they smoked the heck out of them!
@Fed-Up_Hallelujah you took that personally. Must have some truth in it. Problem is that most that do continue to speak with the drawl into adulthood are a little slower.
Guys, really incredible watching you bring to life old beaten up classic automobiles. Your work is meticulous, full of enthusiasm, and shows in depth knowledge about every single step in restoring cars.
The videography is superb, your conversations are informative, professional, and your southern accent is very sweet. Frankly, everything about your videos is exciting to watch . .
Please keep up the wonderful work and let us enjoy your future projects by posting the videos. Bravo, and God bless you.

Great to see a fellow Kiwi fitting the head-liner. Watching this from New Zealand. Kiwi Proud!!
Awesome Job! Great that you show all the work in detail it takes to do a full restoration that would look great in any car show. The end result is Beautiful.
Fantastic fsntastic working out
Great great working
@@DarthVader-uy6lm great great job
Thanks for the step by step instructions and this fantastic video. Every screwdriver can take something with him when setting up an old home.
Best regards for the new year from Germany
Happy to see you guys Show the Un-Seen but Very Important items such as the AC Set-up & installations.
THIS IS GREAT 👍👍🇨🇦 A real treat to watch a full on build, like being back in high school shop. Not that I remember that far back anymore. 🥴
The end result looks so sweet. Great to see it relatively stock with just a bit of twist to make it look special. A wolf in sheep's clothing so to speak. Great work gents. Love these full episodes. 👍
Not one bit stock except for weight lol
@@LilFelonyOfficial That's the beauty of this resto-mod. It's heavily modified (improved) but still look relatively stock.
@@LilFelonyOfficial LOL nah I think he meant looking stock I hope LOL nothing at all is stock! Maybe some stock dirt caught in the trunk LOL. OEM dirt from wixom,Michigan lol. No lowballers,I know what I have.
@@HammerRocks plplllplplllllppppl0l0pplllplpllll
They did this car halfassed,They should have put The SS Emblems on it all the way around, and Changed out the bench seat for buckets, and SS console into it. But that's just my opinion, It's your car,not mine. I prefer the 1970 SS Chevelle SS package.
I've always been fond of anything 72' or older. Cars/Trucks that is.
I’m 72 baby ;)
Me too. Had a 72 C10 short bed fleetside 307 3ott that I swapped out a built 350 & a floor shifter made it a peppy little work truck
Yall are my Favorite take away put together Flicks! Thank you for many hours of enjoyment! God Bless Yall
Great video! Very informative, and I learned a lot but it seems like a car kit almost would've been easier than replacing everything
Marc and Tommy seem to work well with each other, makes watching more enjoyable how they each explain the steps.
Maybe they are a special couple
This is an outstanding video. Exactly the same project as my Nova, right down to the same steering wheel. I fired up my engine for the first time on December 23rd, so this video couldn’t have come out at a better time.
Good luck these guys have no budget
What a mint find guys! That thing was clean for the metal work asides from the chrome and emblems it really didn't look too bad at all!
What's exceptional for drilling out spot welds even more than a spot weld drill is a double ended lath centering bit.
They're awesome because they act a bit like a miniature step drill and as you drill the spot weld the top pops off before you get too far into the base metal.
It was a awesome build! Chevelle's are one of my favorite automobile and I love the color
The Chevelle looks better now than it ever did. Great job guys!
I can't believe how amazing these guys are!!!
That blue.... being poured through the streiner.... that looked so amazing.... Such a beautiful color!!!!! I absolutely love it!!!!!!!
The paint scheme is my favorite of any build I’ve seen on PN. Keep up the fantastic work!
What is the name of the color?
@@jorgejimenez6283 they said it’s a custom color they called bow tie blue
I LOVE these full builds. Tommy is the man
Khmoo

Thank you @powernation for making the videos of the entire builds!
I love this build. Great video. I might not supercharge but everything else is spot on.

i seen a 68 coronet superbee one time in a barn with the quarter wiped out on a job i was on, guy was cool he gave me a 850 thermoquad off the shelf.
I just got a 71 el camino so im stoked to see this video
had one years ago.. bone stock w a 327 in it.. the ride is something you would have to experience to understand why these boys just wanted to cruze it down an old country road.. and that 327 had a surprising and unheard of economy for the day.. i will miss it till the day i die...... thanks so much for sharing guys.
The tech info on painting was excellent!!!! Thanks for taking the time to educate me!!!!
The 72 Chevelle had the cleanest styling out of all the "potato" body Chevelles. I had a 71 with a 70 400 small block. I loved that car !!
Amazing how easy these guys make this look! So much knowledge, planning, skill and hard work behind this.
that and 6 months worth of time,full time and about 100k
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 lots of people have done it. And are still doing it with these a bodies some even nicer than this
I'm sure it's not near as easy as it looks. You got to remember they can just edit out all the parts, that doesn't look so easy.
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 That is my confusion, it is a build, not a restoration. Cause so much fresh new parts. Likely well over 100K. On the air-condition parts, a 1 dollar black can of spray paint would have worked for me. Wonder if those custom parts cost an extra 500 bucks.
I totally enjoy watching these full builds.
I just found all these videos and am thrilled. I grew up with Trucks!, HorsepowerTV, Engine Masters, etc. I have been missing those shows for the last 2 decades. Something so nice, relaxing, and of course educational about these shows. But really, it's just the vibes, it looks like fun and for that reason watching them IS fun. Love that I can catch these again. Makes me wonder if there is a streaming service for these...off to go look around a bit!
Nothing is better than off day work and relaxing, lazy day and spend time on youtube. Watched till the end, next is 67 Mustang
I waited a long time for this to come out. DEFINITELY worth it 🥳
Wow, Nice Build! My 1st car was a 72 Chevelle and I truly love them. I blew the 350, and dropped a 327 from a Vette and put tilt front end on it.
I had a 1972 Chevelle Malibu in high school. Brings back some great memories. I also got mine out of a barn.
I love the never ending supply of parts to slow the progress, we all need that.
gawd i wish i could afford to just buy it all and restore less pieces!
@@PAKfromFYCB we all need a massive youtube channel with sponsors, lol
considering this probably took about 2 - 3 years to do.
@@0Heeroyuy01 2-3 yrs? Whole build looks like buddies are on the same haircuts, lol
@@GIZZMOTORSPORTS i know, but the way this show is filmed they have like 4 or 5 projects they are working on at any given time.
so maybe 2 years at most if you really think 3 is to much.
Thank you for uploading this build I was hoping to see it like this. Thanks!!!! Awesome build!
Huge work step by step. Thanks guys.
That quilt that you took out of the trunk of the car is called trip around the world. My mother made one just for me. It’s my keepsake and I will not sleep under it even though my mother made the top it’s a beautiful quilt.
Man, turned out so beautiful! Great job guys, as always you guys rule!!!
Guys, that was a labour of love and work of art. Outstanding full restoration/upgrade video. Would love to see more of this Chevelle. Good luck with your next project.
Most beautiful paint job and I’m so jelly whoever received this piece of art
I wish gets revamp some of these old show formats for the internet. Less awkward dialogue but good classic work and less outlandish stuff. But also I’d want to see these old guys Cameron Donut or Mighty Car Mods, etc.
I'd be tempted to make a sleeper. Keep the body and interior stock(aside from a new radio) but put a good engine/transmission combo in it.. Along with a new rear end if needed.
Kinda like project Blue Hair Nova? That was a cool build!
Ok m I'm big block
I'd go big block
Good work guys..
Tommy Bosher's arsenal of building skills is undeniable. Love these long build uploads a great deal.
Awesome work guys enjoyed watching the transformation thanks for sharing love it blessings
I love their show. I really enjoyed how they did this build and not just cuz I love me some Chevelle! I really like the fact that they tore it down, refurbished and put it all back together. THEN they tested all the systems on the road. Last, they did what I would want a builder to do if I could afford it - they safety checked all the nuts and bolts throughout. Good stuff. ONE QUESTION - How come we never got to here that engine run? If it was running, they had that LOUD guitar over it doing power chords. C'mon guys, I wanna hear that engine sing.
So True!
NICE JOB GUYS ! Your build videos are Great and informative tutorials for everyone . Dream cars for sure!
Best educational build I watch so far good job guys!! would love to see you guys do an LS conversion with one of the Chevelle’s.
I've been a body and paint tech man since 1973. I worked at 5 different dealerships , Dodge, Pontiac, Caddy, Ford and Chevy. On a restoration , everyone of those shops started on the front of the vehicle . got all the frontend and doors perfect, then we welded on the quarters , aligning the deck lid and the rest of the tailend parts perfectly. More than 1 way to skin a Chevelle. Still, a good vid.
Wow what a beautiful Chevelle this turned out to be!
id like to know how much was the Chevelle to start with out of the barn and what happened to it after it was completed.
I love magic. That car was magic in its day, and you guys have made magic again today. Yep, lots replaced but push what is so very good. Thank you Marc and Tommy! Great effort should be rewarded! ...you could cut it back a bit - wink, love it all!
Three hours of classic muscle car restoration? Oh YES PLEASE!
The amount of work you guys put into that is amazing, and a beautiful Detroit Classic got saved thanks to it.
This is one of must beautiful build up I seen in a while everything came out perfect this job is second to none 👍
Great video! I enjoyed watching the full production! Great job on the car from top to bottom! I expected nothing less from Power Nation! Can you tell us about how much the build ran?
I'll bet, in English class you were a straight A student. You have good grammar, unlike the D bags that call this a "FULL" build. Thank you for preserving the English language by using it properly.
ok
I’m loving these projects but I’d like to see more manuals. I know automatics have gotten pretty good, but there’s just something about rowing through gears that can’t be replaced.
Agreed. I was bummed to see their choice here. To me, nothing is as good behind the wheel as having control of where you shift with a lot of power under foot. Automatics, no matter how quick they might shift, just don't give it.
watch this content,build yours with a manual......thats what my trans am has
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 the problem here is money unfortunately. I can’t drop 15-20k on a roller, 5-10 on an engine, trans, and controller, and another 10 on everything else. Not to mention all of the tools and stuff it would take to put something like this together. I don’t even have a welder.
you need to go with something newer ,it needs less in the handling department,parts are much cheaper for 1980 and up cars.i have an 86 trans am..generally 1980 and up g bodies,f-bodies,fox bodies are much cheaper buy in.i love pre 1972 stuff but its too damned expensive to build
I was watching this on TV and had to find this on RUclips to comment that you're custom blend of paint looks pretty damn close to pontiac blue.
Forgot how much I liked watching Tommy. Smart dude and a great host.
Loved the build but would have been nice to listen to the engine idle with the hood up. Great build!
What I find amazing about barn or warehouse finds is that these cars are covered with all kinds of grime, but just hold a steam cleaner to it - and out comes an almost brand new car that seems to have just run off the production line!
i love this show! i always wanted a chevelle with a big block and a blower with a hilborn style lid sticking through the hood.
Nice video. Way to do it. Still a pipe dream to the average person who wants to drive and enjoy it before they croak.
Merry xmas
Absolutely beautiful car too bad it wasn't the 70 model
I hear you brother.
I do agree, although I am considering a 71 rear bumper to match 4 round rear to 4 round front.
zero difference other than 2 headlights and four tail lights
71
the last part of retightening fasteners is so real. I was chasing multiple leaks after multiple first startups and thought i had a bunch of faulty parts in random places. Nope, just loose bolts.
simply awesome and the way you explain everything excellent
Great video! Easy to understand explanations, good visual demos and start to finish build. Nice!
Take out back seat...use a flash light a broom handle w a flathead taped to it...unlatch trunk from the inside. Remove and replace tumbler.
There ya go!
Love these fun little weekend builds! I’ve done a few but my spare paint is old by time I get to doing another 😂
Thanks for the recommendation for The Dragon on US129. I've never heard of it, sounds like fun. In Washington state where I live, there is small section of road just past Aberdeen headed towards the ocean the locals call the Twisties. Great build and sweet lookin ride guys.
I've found a few barn finds over the years, but unfortunately I could never afford to buy them, plus often times the owner isn't selling them.
Same here Robert.
Even a car sunk in mud in field the guys want 30 grand
@@charlieb308
🤷♂️ Дорого
buying it out of the barn is the easy part...this has well over 100 grand worth of parts and labour thrown at it and over 2 years to do it
My neighbor has a 71 mustang in her garage worst part is she want to restore it but just doesn’t have the time
I love it. But feels like only about 10% of that is barn find after all is said and done. Lol
Depends on the barn. Southern barn probably is what you would find. Midwestern and northern America. No way in hell that is that clean.
Why's that?
@@AutoYoung cuz most of it is new parts. I'd still absolutely take it...just sayin
@@gordonzio
I'm saying, it's a barn find. It doesn't have to stay that way to still be considered a barn find. There are concourse winning show cars that were found in barns so by definition they're still that. Restoration doesn't change that...
@@AutoYoung I don't know anything about definitions.it's an absolutely beautiful car. My comment wasn't a complaint. Just an observation that when you change the suspension, engine, brakes, interior and panels there's just not much left of the original car. Doesn't matter, I'd definitely love to have it.
The quality of this build and attention to detail is much better than anything I’ve seen for sale lately I’ve been searching for a chevelle and can’t find anything worth buying everyone wants 70-100k for a piece of crap and I find out this car sold at an auction for 42k I would have bought it
So they lost their tails on it. 100k in part for sure.
Guys, thank you so much for restoring the real muscle cars of the 60-70's. You do a wonderful job and are teaching the muscle heads of the future how it's done. As a car guy from the 60's, how much money did you put in the Chevelle? $60-$70K?
i would say you about right $60-$70k doing it your self .if some body shop restoring a car like this probably be like $100k or more
BEAUTIFUL BUILT! (And I'm a FORD guy). A few questions though... How much $ did it cost to build? What kind of wheel HP did it put down after the mods to make it fit the car? And who ends up getting this beautiful car in the end? Do y'all sell it?
Nice build, happy you guys have unlimited funds to do things perfect. Now I’m going back out to play with my practical build.
They did a full every nut and bolt Barrett Jackson build , unintentionally of course
I started out using the old style primer---surfacer. My friend was a painter at a dealership and showed me all about the 2K primer-surfacer. BIG difference! Once I got to the point of spraying the final coat before sanding, I would spray the final coat of 2K primer---surfacer then let the car sit out in the direct sunlight for at least a full week, preferably two weeks. That way I satisfied that the last coat of primer---surfacer was fully cured and had done all the shrinking it was going to do. Then I would do the final wet sanding with my Eastwood 12 inch rigid sanding block using a mist coat of flat black to see low spots.
Helpful tip on that foam for the seat. If you don’t have a body saw, a standard electric carving knife like you would use to carve a turkey works fantastic. I use one for all my foam cutting. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
