I like how you left a perimeter of steel for the panel to attach to. Keeps the rigidity, but by replacing the largest panel section you get massively weight reduction. Keep up the amazing builds, guys!
@ 20:27 Jimmy is so focused , impressive , hello from Miami , FL 🌴
Great episode! I’m just getting ready to install these same latches into the carbon fiber hood of my ‘89 Trans Am GTA road course car! I’ve been agonizing over them for weeks!! It’s a custom hand laid hood (one-off) that cost me an embarrassing amount of money, so screwing it up is not an option! THANK YOU!!!! You’ve given me the nerve to do it!👍
Nothing wrong with a carbon fiber hood if you have the money....A quick glance says carbon fiber is 15% lighter than fiberglass. I think if someone made a fiberglass hood (& other body parts) that was cheaper than a steel hood. That'd be the way to go, since it's gonna be cheaper than a steel & way cheaper than CF hood but almost as light.
Nice to see someone using ppe on tv.
That is an awesome build guys
Nice "builder techniques"!!! How much weight is saved with all the carbon?
Привет из России. Смотрю с удовольствием. Продолжайте. Интересный контент.
Thank you for this.
Of coarse wexcant do a complete replacement of the quarter panel...how much lighter is it REALLY?
Always great!!!!
Nice Modification
thanks for the content 95 percent of the content is money. And I’m a loyal viewer watch every time.
on to the bad news
Eh, ie, eh, ie, 🫨 the trunk lid latches. ?
My head is spinning, what was the philosophy doing the latches the way done in this episode -vs- a hidden single latch, OEM/stock style ? and hide a button some where under the bumper ..easy , peasy
Man so much geometry in that job I don’t think I could pull that off the first time…I deff would have to have another carbon fiber trunk lid, as back up lid.
I guarantee I’d mess up the first trunk lid……maybe even the second carbon lid.
I feel like a lot of important steps in this install was edited out.
…..I get it, it’s tv but damn that was …. Common shoot us viewers straight Carcus guys… Plz
When this project first started I thought “why would you cut up that nice Camaro?” Now I see! It’s going to be very cool! 👍🏼
I don't , as little of the real car they are using they didn't need to start with the best looking Camaros ever made. It's a race car so they didn't even need a title. Just goes to show people suck. Hell only thing that's going to be left of the real car is the roof, don't need to cut up a rust-free 50 year old car for that.
@@b.shoemaker2806 Exactly. this right here!
@b.shoemaker2806 that car had alot of damage and wasnt in great shape in reality. How do you know the car maybe couldnt be registered..who knows. But it had alot of issues
Complete new body shells are made by Dynacorn so no big loss.
@@bobroberts2371 that's my point, is a " real" car it was savable. Could have used a replacement body race cars don't need a VIN number. I am from the rust belt and other than title problems I see nothing on that car that couldn't be fixed.
What was the weight difference for the deck lid and the quarter panel steel compared to the carbon fiber
I always thought carbon fiber panels looked stupid and pointless till I bought a 240sx body that had all carbon fiber exterior panels besides the roof. I dropped my track engine in (642hp LS3 CD009 combo) I wrecked my track car by driving on the street lol sometimes u forget the difference in grip between a track and pavement. Anyways man that car felt insanely light and agile. Eventually I got a chance to drive another 240sx. And it felt like a yacht lol
So now that I'm starting on next year's body... I'm here learning to do this myself
Why aren’t y’all epoxying the rivnuts into the decklid?
Nice
Cool project. Great Sunday afternoon everyone. Remember everyone Jesus Christ is the answer through the Good and the bad times he is the way ✝️🙏💪👍
Why would you get rid of the trunk rods? Knowing that you need to use the trunk anyway
future reference steal wifes lipstick for transfering holes marks cleans up easy too
These shows change hosts so often that 2 new guys has to finish the car someone else started 😂
Huh? They have been working on this car the whole time....
@@19chev81 , read my comment again REAL slow !
They are the original hosts of carcass. Not really sure what you mean.
Who makes the red shop wheels? I've been searching and can't come up with anything.
Thet are Guniwheels
It's a great build but definitely could have built a car that was rotted then take a solid car and cut it apart
The car originally was in rough shape, front end was all buckled too
Let me buy those steel widebody quarter panels off ya'll if you're not using them 🥺
This Generation (along with the Split Bumper) of Camero/Firebird where the SEXIEST road carvers!
Where can I get some fat rubber like yours ?
lol at sanding CF without extraction and bare skin.
Didnt notice the respirator mask? The dust isnt an issue its the larger fibers. Not everyone has girly little hands like you 😂
Oh wow you’re so tough lol you clearly never work with CF😂
@chehsin uh yeah i have alot actually...its not that big of a deal....
That rear latch clip does not make one sense
Sinful
tired of the rehash
Nice
