If you guys ever decide to get into motorcycles let me know where to submit my resume. I love the content.
I love these shows. So glad you post them on RUclips. I have been a fan since I was a kid.
POWERNATION - you guys should build a 2002 Chevy Tahoe I think it would be an awesome build & also what I drive 🙏🏼 love the videos man
Dang that's old i haven't seen these since i was a kid l. Look how you Lou looks. He doesn't work that fast on car fix lol
watch this one for more details :0) ruclips.net/video/mQieKnglzj4/видео.html
Duuuude this video is so awesome ive been watching resto vids for weeks n this one stands out from all the rest
I dont think anybody asked why he would restore a le mans, I dont even want a gto clone the le mans is an amazing car in itself, fully worth restoring
AFX Gaming Thank you. Nothing wrong with a LeMans. So tired of clones.
My son asked, "dad, why is the man shouting?" Sorry son that how they used to do back in the days of TV.
I have an intern I should show this video to - the kid talks so low you can't hear a goddam thing he's saying.
Maybe your interns dad is Boomhauer ?
I love this!! I know it's old, but DAMN they did a great job on that frame!!!
Great tear down so far!!
Lou Santiago, Thanks to you I was able to switch the rear air suspension on the Lincoln continental to spring coils.
One of the best channels on RUclips. Great video guys.
Lou Santiago rox‼️ He always does something creative, you always learn real life tool applications and techniques!
Man, the Lou era of MC was the greatest.
That was good. I’m doin a resto but I’m all done underneath. it never occurred to me to fill all holes in the frame though. Cool idea
Good video, don't know if anyone else noticed, but the car being disassembled appears to be a "66". See 1:30 in video, the "66" & "67" had different grills. In my younger days I owned a "66" Tempest Custom with the Sprint engine. To this it's still the highest top and of any car I have ever owned. Wish I had it back, loved it.
why are you guys hating on lou ? i enjoy watching these shows
Because he is a loud mouth a hole that will cut in front of you inline , take up 2 parking spaces , illegal park on the sidewalk in front of the muscle head gym because he can't walk across the parking lot. Remember, he is playing to a certain portion of the muscle car demographic. Want to see a real car guy in action? Have a look at the channel " House of Muscle " done by Mike Musto.
+Bob Roberts Ain't nothing wrong with that. Girls like bad boys.
My first car was a '66 LeMans, 326 with 3 on the tree. Paid $50 for it in 1974. Had rusty rear quarters but other than that, it was in pretty good shape.
Fantastic I didn't know there was a was to use media with a pressure washer. Thanks man.👍
Neither did I...lol...and i actually remember watching episode back when it aired on Spike.
April 1st week build out of the Baltimore plant 235 is interior trim K2 is Turquoise Poly with Black Vinyl top. Code G could be a long console auto.
I have a 69 tempest that my dad gave me before he passed away when I was 16 years old in 46 now and when I retire I’m going to do a frame off restore with my son and gift him with it for a college graduation present.
What disc you used to bare metal that chassi
I like the plated lower A arm , but hate lowered cars. Any tricks for the upper arm?
I LIKE this guy!
Will these frame fixes work on my 1966 442 tri power?
Love it!
How did heating the frame to stretch it not weaken it?
Ya gotta love Lou and his way with cars. ^_^
Love old lemans.
What time is it in powernationland¿
?I'm loving these 1am Australian upload scheduling
I love Home and Away.
great all around
Amazing work on the a-arms but why not just buy drop spindles ?
Why does that 351-C mach 1 have a windsor hood scoop? i used to have '69 351 Windsor mach 1 4sp, so I was always jealous of the cleveland shaker hood scoop. I can't believe I sold that car!!!!
I have a 72 Buick GS 350 convertible I used up. I am 2nd owner since 76 and just wore it out. 196,000 miles and needs a full frame off restoration. All original with matching numbers. Need help in Florida to bring back to life.
Watersandblasting !!!??!?? Man, you deserves the Nobel prize ! :0)
Good to you Lou. Bill NC
Badass build, 66 abody im working on
Lou is my IDOL..

Compared to who?
@@bobroberts2371Someone in marketing really likds their abnoxiuos nephew.
Cool. Just cool.
Anybody know what size steel stock used to lift body
...and they make a great copy of the GOAT! Great idea...
Good work! You guys should do a Buick Skylark sedan with a vinyl top... I might know someone who has one.
Lol im sure u do
Ive got a '69 2dr that 2as sabotaged n sold to me
@@beavinator420 That sucks, mine was a '70
Get a custom plate that reads. 'nogoat"
I want to do all this to my Chevelle but I have nowhere to work 😪
Look into renting a garage! I lucked into a 2 car garage with free electricity $50 a month & on top of that I had the coolest landlord who would let me slide for months at a time and then I would give him a couple hundred here an there! I had that garage for years and unfortunately I have up on it but either way they're out there! Good luck!
11:56, "dual headlights"🤔
Modifying a 71 Chevelle wagon for drifting the frame upgrade suggestion will help greatly
hy dude why dont u pic stock horns comes with car factory fit very car has its signiture horn sound its sounds good when car is ready
Well lets hope the took the rest of the trim, glass, blower motor, etc off before they blast it
Why is body on Frame easier to restore then unibody cars? Or is it not?
What ever happened to good old Lou? He's a cool guy
he's on "car fix"
Louder faster all sponsor
Add a built 455 too guys.
how many hours do you have in the framework alone ????
Old skool tricks
I love that Mach 1 guys. But it wouldn’t be able to keep up with my Litchfield tuned R35.
The GT-R looks like a clothes iron lol.
well my uncle's neighbor knows a guy with a twin turbo Viper than can beat your GTR what now
A mach 1 would be museum artifact soon, your gtr will probably end up in pieces, for sale the rest of its life if not scrapped and turned into phone parts.
Have fun in you're overpriced plastic Nissan girl.
I have a 68 tempest gto clone that you just made worth less because I have a stock frame.
My moms car in high school was a 67 Pontiac tempest... That is until she started dating my dad and he wrecked it... Then he bought her a 69' charger and yep you guessed it he wrecked it... lol... there was one more car that he bought for her and wrecked... An AMC Pacer ha ha ha... that one almost killed him.... Then he wrecked my brothers 70 thunderbird while he was in basic training.... I would never let him drive (and still won't) anything I own... My mom did pay him back once he had beautiful 72' chevy short bed truck that my mom let burn to the ground when it caught on fire in the driveway..
The format is a little annoying , with the shouting an all.
But I must admit this guy provides some interesting ideas for improving the frame and suspension in a economical way.
well done sir , well done ! 😎
In the 70s guys sold new data plates at many car shows..
Power what ur a late at
7:17 - 7:27 For some reason I want to buy some Oxy Clean. . .
It has a 66 front end on it
When will you due a 1969 C10. The twist making it 4X4 with a 6 inch lift
Hey PAULEY
why not use paint n rust strip discs instead of flap disc to clean the frame up? Stripping discs don't remove any metal.
Anybody can get that data plate made.... to bad it’s not with in the vin
What is the purpose Of The holes
i can see it now...car will be lowered..and they will put on big , ugly ass wheels on it..and no vinyl roof ,,at least it wont be all junked up with the typical LS swap ...this video is probably around 15 or so years old
Haters gonna hate, ballers gonna ball. It's life.
I like Lou’s optimism and personality, give home a financial raise.
I have a 66 GTO CONVERTIBLE. HALF restored. Cameo ivory. 38 years in storage. Fyi Pontiacs never had numbers matching. In other words the VIN of the vehicle was never stamped on the motor, transmission or rear end. More information for you people that don't know about Pontiacs, 64 and 65 the gto was an option on the tempest lemans. Gto was not its own model until 66. This guy doesn't know
350 HP for 1967 400 cu in base engine
I like Tommy but I miss Lou.
Starts video wE bUiLdInG nUmBeRs MaTcHiNg CaR half way through video boxes frame for stroker motor we are gonna add heavily then modifies control arm
Minute 4 second 10 ^53years old
Well, as the episode is more than 10 years old...
40 years old huh. Nice maths :P
Math seems fine. The show is from the mid 2000s.
Dude's laying it on a bit thick.
Lou is man
🤔
Well why WOULDN'T you restore a.67 LeMans?
Air impact with no safety glasses, not good.
Too bad they aren't keeping it original.
As a dude that used to make his living repairing frame damage that "pulling" is cringe worthy...
Myra 😂😂😂😂😂
I just don't understand why you can't remove glass in the normal fashion...screw cloning..they tried it with sheep...lol
also ...that 70 mach 1 was nice..but yuk on those big , ugly ass wheels...not a fan at all of this fad of big wheels...yuk to all of it ,,car needs magnum 5's or other factory stock wheels..even torque thrusts would be nice
18'' Magnum 5 replicas would look cool indeed.
@Larry Niles Exactly mate
That's a 1966.
40 years old? More like 54
That episode is almost ancient, by now.
This episode was aired in 2007
Y'all wanna cry about dates and ages mentioned, maybe you should pay attention to the copyright tag at the end of the episode.....
@@basshead. I'm wondering what happened to the Lemans they've built.
Heating frame rails is a last resort.
But they didn’t say how to lower the rear...
2nd
Breaking out the glass: DUMB !!!! Now shards are all over the interior and in the defroster ducts. But then again, he is playing to 12 year olds that smoke filterless Cammels and drink Thunderbird.
That announcer trying so hard to sound excited but ends up sounding stupid.
Why he does that goofy voice is beyond me.
Because he is a loud mouth a hole that will cut in front of you inline , take up 2 parking spaces , illegal park on the sidewalk in front of the muscle head gym because he can't walk across the parking lot. Remember, he is playing to a certain portion of the muscle car demographic. Want to see a real car guy in action? Have a look at the channel " House of Muscle " done by Mike Musto.
1st
Can't STAND Lou!
He's like HPV
Nothing worse than a big mouth
I dont think this guy works at a legit auto shop. lol. You go to this guy when you suddenly acquire a car by classified means if ya know what I mean.
Heating a frame is old school, no no. Take it to a frame shape and do it correctly. IMO
Lou seems like he might be difficult to work with.
Nah. Seems like a real gear head. Better than Cajun dude and the others. Pat and Mike seem ok.
This episode is old, Lou left muscle car (the name when show started in 2006) in 2008 did his own thing for couple years. Has been on Car Fix on Velocity for 7 years now. He is actually a real cool guy..
Smashing that windshield had to be one of the dumbest things I ever seen....
It was broken. Should they have tried to save it after it cracked?
You guys did that winsheild wrong. Cut out from the inside first with a pipe knife
