That kid Talkin at the 3-minute Mark doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, these cars are getting rarer and rarer and there's plenty of aftermarket support to bring these cars back... my floorboards in my 69 were much worse and I completely replaced them the correct way, along with through the floor frame connectors and as far as the rot on the front frame is concerned oh, those are available in the aftermarket too... they know that, but this is just stupid drama to draw up ratings
Yeah and get this that guy you are talking about came from an actual auto restoration shop in OKC!!! You are correct about everything you said. You can get the replacement parts to rebuild your whole car reasonably because of the market being very stable.
I'm a professional builder. Currently building two 1st gen firebirds. Both will be supercharged lt-4 powered. One convertable one hardtop. Any and ALL parts can be purchased for these for the most part. Far fewer than camaros too. And they have a better look to them. Im in wisconsin and the cars these guys think are bad..... lmfao. They don't even know what RUST is.
I had a 69 firebird in the early 70s i wish I could have kept ...It was a dark blue...kinda like a royal blue with a vinyl top and a 350 under the hood....and being a major Who fan of the time and still am ...I hand lettered "Summertime Blues" On the rear quarter panels....loved that car....
@@109gnm yeah man im pretty good reading people sometimes Richard is all about the money ,,I seen a show on counting cars Danny gave away a car.hes cool dude
That 67 firebird was in way better shape underneath than most cars I restore around the Massachusetts area. I feel as if your crew is just giving you more stress for no reason I wish I could work for gas monkey your crew is great but not when is comes to fabricating metals to save money and flip a car with double the amount you put into it. God bless stay safe
I saw the episode where Richard takes the car as partial debt payment from one of the shops he revovated. The way the car driven by the shop owners girl friend just happened to show up while Richard was there tells us that Richard was set up to take the car in leiu of money.
Goes to show Richard doesn't know a damn thing about cars if he didnt even bother to look under the Chassis. If the bodies in good shape, the first damn thing i do before even hearing a car run is how the underside of the Chassis looks.
@@TheGarnerjustin73 ... I have a good source on how the Discovery Channel works in that arena and a 2 week build will probably pay them between $10 - $20k. IOW, they will be running in the black even if Richard talks shit about how much the car(s) and parts cost.
This is the second clip I've seen of this show (ever) and it's just infuriating. I feel like every situation could easily be resolved with... 1. Doing a proper inspection before purchasing a car. I've owned multiple older sports cars from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and that's like buying 101. You go over the car with a fine tooth comb or have a buyer's inspection. You don't just buy a classic car with no thorough inspection. That's the first rule! 2. Again, why are you setting up deadlines BEFORE a thorough inspection? That's like saying "Yeah, I walked around your basement for 5 min and think I can do a complete remodel in exactly 45 days on the day of your open house." No, you inspect things, look for hidden damage, or go over everything carefully and THEN give an estimated deadline that could likely change. The way the shop is doing it is only going to set them up for failure. This is the second time I've seen this happen with these clips (first was a Pantera). It's infuriating at this point because it's such an easily solvable problem.
The structural integrity of a convertible doesn't rely on the floor. It relies on the rocker panels. What a bunch of dopes. As much money as that thief has screwed people out of through the years, he can afford to just crush it and eat the loss. And putting a timeline on a build is just TV drama.
Years ago, in 2001. I bought a 67 hardtop for $1800 running. Remove the nasty carpet then noticed the rusted out floor panels. You can literally see the road as you drive it! My friends called it the flintstones firebird 😂 years later repair it. Good times
Change from Gas Monkey to Royal Fuck Up. That car could be repaired perfectly by a decent body shop with a large surface plate. These guys are just a bunch of fast buck artists. Nobody I know likes this show or Rawlings himself.
@Dirty Kitchen Food Shorts if you got enough money and enough people to pay to do your shit then yes, you can get where you are by not knowing shit. Every episode of this show from the beginning has at least a few moments where Richard says some dumb shit, it’s not a matter of opinion it’s a matter of fact, he only knows how to run a business, he doesn’t know how to build a car lol
Richard is a successful business man. He created a pretty large brand that is known for their builds. What Richard does is he provides his bank account for experienced car guys to build these cars. He loves cars clearly and has knowledge but not as much as a guy that builds these things from the chassis up. Richard is a business man.
Wow. Still getting "fooled" by rusted out shitbox '60s cars like it's the first time they've ever dealt with this industry. Haven't restored a GM muscle car in ten years that didn't need 85% new sheetmetal. Guess the audience is always hopeful they find one that doesn't become a donor. But that doesn't sell ads on TV. Goddam, this ship sailed 5 years ago. Scripted old car restoration shows that run into a major "issue" is the new chopper build show.
I just love it when Richard loses money! Just goes to show you how much he thinks he knows cars lol. I would never in a million years buy anything from this guy!
I’m more inclined to think that Richard knows his shit. Even if he loses on the car itself, the story behind it creates great online content- which will make him money. He may lose it one way, but makes it the other.
Not a car expert but flipped them for many years and that old ugly green/ugly green interior 350 4 barrel 69 Bird my long gone buddy Joe Mittino had which was pdq and buckets console 350 turbo in the condition he had it probably bring 15-22 depending on buyers hard on.
I don't know how he even makes payroll. Must have a rich uncle, inheritance or some other source of income besides what he makes in shop. Another video shows him looking over the location where he's building a new building. Things just don't add up.
Each of them were making up to 30k an episode it’s definitely more for looks what I do love is Arron made his own company and makes amazing builds he’s definitely not just a show he left for that reason he wanted to make real builds that didn’t have a due date or make good footage
It was not salvageable because it was structurally damaged and where it wasn't safe to drive. Its like a house, when the foundation is destroyed, it's not safe to live in. It was just a matter of time before that car fell completely apart. Some parts might be able to be used on another car but when it comes to car collectors, they mostly like having numbers matching parts and that is mainly when its all original
gimme a friggen break that white bird was very salvageable i have seen people do great with much worse i don't no maybe they never herd of some thing called the after market or a little word called fabrication all richard cares about is a big profit and that is ok but if that is the case open a used car lot not a custom car shop chip foose would turn that car into a show winner and still made a nice profit you either have a passion for your work or your just going through the motions
@@bobjoos5973 the name doesn't look familiar I'm not aware that you knew me or I know you for you to be telling me what I can do and what I couldn't do
It's so sad to see this (whatever you can say on here without getting cancelled) get his filthy paws on another one of my favorite muscle cars. This guy had the very first two ever built from the factory and instead of keeping them and really appreciating them for what they are he does what he always does and sold them to the highest bidder.
That's because he's a business man. I see nothing wrong with that. Let's face it all these muscle cars are cool but they were still crappy cars. The best cars were for instance a Ford model a. Built the best way with the best material simple. No I have to say the good old USA is to big for it's britches. Look how much better Honda's and Toyotas are then our crap .
Gas Monkey is not in the restoration buisness. It's a Hot Rod shop. Yes you can rebuild a car from a couple of screws. The only show where there was no bs was FantomWorks. Ground up frame off total rebuild. Two years. Richard does not have two years. One the deadline for the builds is 27 days to be able to make the required episodes. Richard sold the show based on a certain number of episodes and production schedules meant a new project done and sold by a deadline. Need money coming in to pay for the parts for the next project. Self imposed but the Garage is only part of the parent company. Vendors expect to be paid. Payroll has to be met. Take a straight car juice it, paint and tires and flip inna month. Richard can not wait two years. Counts Kustoms is a restoration buisness. Fab shop, bike shop, upholstery, stereo etc. Now a custom build for a client takes what it takes. The purpose of a flip is to keep the lights on make payroll and buy parts for custom builds. Overhead.
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. :-((((()()()
Forreaaal,it's kinda dumb NOT TO do that, he could make hella lot more money if they actually RESTORED these vehicles instead of changing it into something it wasn't meant for, I can see putting air bags but all that extra transmission , motor replaced with newer parts . To me it's a cool daily driver if it's modern, but I rather restore and sell it
When Richard lost Aaron he lost it all, And ur right Rick J cause you can get a FULL Chassis to replace the rusted out one but that Original "Cross Members" could never be repaired if it's RUSTED that BAD, Bro! I do like his other show, though, rebuilding other peoples businesses... Pretty Cool!!
When will you people realize that Aaron left Pilgram Media aka Discovery. He was off of Richards payroll the whole time they were filming. You idiots think Aaron left Richard. What happened when Richard and Discovery parted ways???? All of the Mechanics left because without a show there is no payroll for all of those guys. Richard had Zero control if Aaron stayed or left. The funniest part is everyone thinks it was a real shop. It was only a real shop for TV.
Maybe check and see if its the original motor and tranny before you start tearing it apart and ruining it. OR at least state that it is not numbers matching and then go ahead and ruin it.
These people are pathetic to basically scrap a car like this for bad floor plans buy some more floor pans it take the front rear axle out of it replace it it's not a big deal just because they live in Texas and they have clean pretty cars doesn't mean it's got to be that way all the time
Just about every vehicle they do they ruin. I bet there are gallons of bondo used on his cars. Also the structure integrity comes from the rocker panels you. You couldn't pay me to take my car to these guys.
When someone is dumb enough to buy a vehicle from this place, they are paying more for the car because of the gallons of bondo that's applied to the metal. The owner should take the title of this car, then drive the vehicle to a Cat Brand professional calibrated weight scale, and see the weight difference between the factory weight on the title, and the weight of the car after it leaves Gas Monkey Garage. No doubt there will be a significant weight difference between the weight numbers. The actual workers in the shop really know their trade, but the owner Richard Rawlings, is a real con man. A snake oil salesman. I would rather buy something from Mr. Haney of the Green Acres TV show, than a dog house from Richard Rawlings. He gives true vehicle restoration shop owners a real bad reputation. As the saying goes: BUYER BEWARE. Especially when you buy ANYTHING from Richard Rawlings. Even a pencil.
The floor of the uni-body was gone and I`m not sure if it`s the same as a Camaro, but anybody else would have looked under the car before handing over the money.
@@joesant1943 My comment expresses exactly what you said about my comment. It's fake. All fake just like Richard Rawlings. What's not fake is the extremely talented body and paint men that knows how to make great restorations. But with a sleezy boss man like greasy Richard Rawlings, he's more than a fly in the ointment. Richard is a armpit flea. Welp, the former head of Countin Cars can resort to walking the Vegas strip picking pockets, and stealing purses to put food in the table at the Rawlings single wide trailer.
RR is nothing without Aaron Kaufmann, the Bearded restorer. He some money for RR for a while and then gave RR his notice to quit and go his own way. Bub-eye Aaron.
@@getchasome6230 ... on a unibody car the floor pan is probably 50% of the strength. If you are at the point where the pans are gone you probably don't have a straight car because everything sags. Replacing the pans on this while the structure is weak will hold that "sag" situation where it is. Basically someone needed to do a little tweaking / bending BEFORE those new pans went in.
Losing 35 grand is chump change to Richard, but losing his show was the worst thing that could happen. Now you have a regular dude with a huge ego stuck on RUclips. Lol

Maybe check and see if its the original motor and tranny before you start tearing it apart and ruining it. OR at least state that it is not numbers matching and then go ahead and ruin it.
Doesn’t Dynacorn offer an f body in convertible ?
yes they do and it would have been cheaper then the red one
Rawlings getting screwed never gets old.
People watching,thinking he’s getting screwed is even funnier,that rotten car is making him rich.
@@oxyfee6486 psssst hate to break it to ya. Sanra Claus, the easter bunny and the tooth fairy are the same as Rawlings making money. NOT REAL.
@@trevorbrown1938 Dudes a millionaire,but whatever helps you sleep.

inspect before you buy eveytime no matter the price
The guy in the red car needs to wipe the brown stuff off his nose!
Why would somebody buy a car for $25,000 and tear it apart. Hell just put a sub frame and panels in the old body.
I LIKE BLUE!
It's basically a camero with a different nose.
What a waste.
I'll pay you 1500 for the white roller and fix it
Order a custom frame
All he had to do was bring it back to original and it would have made him profit
That f n guy is going rip some one off with that rotted junk heap also
Should of left those cars alone,,,,they were fine the way they were.
WOW, he really knows his cars and how to buy them !!!!!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA , guy should stay on his boat and drink beer !
Rhicard is king of the bullshiters!
Why put a crate motor in a car that's original motor just drove 1500 miles 🤔
?good question! This show is more like a day soap drama
My mom has one
crusher, as if lol
Just re-chassis the car.
Someone will buy the car and rebuild it but it’ll take time and a lot of money

Don’t these guy look underneath before they buy ???
DEHUMIDIFIER
It's a TV Show . . . . Wake up people !!! 😤
Should of took it to Dennis it's obvious this was way over Richards head !
Yeah Dennis is the man!!! Plus Dennis actually appreciates these old firebirds!!
Richard needs to go back to his roots. Greed changed him. Used to love the show before he changed
Sayonara sucker he says , funny
These people are pathetic to basically scrap a car like this for bad floor plans buy some more floor pans it take the front rear axle out of it replace it it's not a big deal just because they live in Texas and they have clean pretty cars doesn't mean it's got to be that way all the time
Haha. Texans and west coast car guys. You haven't seen rust! That white firebird is average rust in midwest and definitely east coast
Just about every vehicle they do they ruin. I bet there are gallons of bondo used on his cars. Also the structure integrity comes from the rocker panels you. You couldn't pay me to take my car to these guys.
Joe
Keep doing what you doing
When someone is dumb enough to buy a vehicle from this place, they are paying more for the car because of the gallons of bondo that's applied to the metal. The owner should take the title of this car, then drive the vehicle to a Cat Brand professional calibrated weight scale, and see the weight difference between the factory weight on the title, and the weight of the car after it leaves Gas Monkey Garage. No doubt there will be a significant weight difference between the weight numbers. The actual workers in the shop really know their trade, but the owner Richard Rawlings, is a real con man. A snake oil salesman. I would rather buy something from Mr. Haney of the Green Acres TV show, than a dog house from Richard Rawlings. He gives true vehicle restoration shop owners a real bad reputation. As the saying goes:
BUYER BEWARE. Especially when you buy ANYTHING from Richard Rawlings. Even a pencil.
The floor of the uni-body was gone and I`m not sure if it`s the same as a Camaro, but anybody else would have looked under the car before handing over the money.
It’s a tv show sir, it’s crazy how in 2022 you people think its real 🤦🏻♂️
@@joesant1943 My comment expresses exactly what you said about my comment. It's fake. All fake just like Richard Rawlings. What's not fake is the extremely talented body and paint men that knows how to make great restorations. But with a sleezy boss man like greasy Richard Rawlings, he's more than a fly in the ointment. Richard is a armpit flea. Welp, the former head of Countin Cars can resort to walking the Vegas strip picking pockets, and stealing purses to put food in the table at the Rawlings single wide trailer.
Not a fan of RR.
RR is nothing without Aaron Kaufmann, the Bearded restorer. He some money for RR for a while and then gave RR his notice to quit and go his own way. Bub-eye Aaron.
danocorp get brand new bodie
I BOUGHT A CAR ONCE FROM THESE GUYS ,, IT WAS 90 % BONDO
I doubt it
Floorpans are not structural on any car.
@@erincummings745 Floorpans are thin steel you can bend with your hands. That's why they beadroll them.. the floorpans weld to the structure.
@@erincummings745 unibody cars use layered steel bent in complex bends for strength. Floorpans arent that
@@getchasome6230 ... on a unibody car the floor pan is probably 50% of the strength. If you are at the point where the pans are gone you probably don't have a straight car because everything sags. Replacing the pans on this while the structure is weak will hold that "sag" situation where it is. Basically someone needed to do a little tweaking / bending BEFORE those new pans went in.
FLOOR PANS HOOK TO OTHER PARTS AND PROVIDE LATERAL SUPPORT LINKING SUBFRAME AND UNIBODY PARTS
@@rupe53 Nope. You're incorrect
Never trust a man that looks at a 67 convertible firebird and says lets get the ugly off of it. Lol fat L
I love these old birds..i want one so bad..my ex sold mine..rock on millenials..richard you the man..🤙
Who the fuck doesn't look under the car???
These video titles from DMAX are the worst. Why would someone want to look at the video after getting to know exactly everything happening in it?
Boo hoo.
Losing 35 grand is chump change to Richard, but losing his show was the worst thing that could happen. Now you have a regular dude with a huge ego stuck on RUclips. Lol
What about the multi million dollar business he has flipping cars with Dennis?
