My Pro Touring 69 Camaro Gets Corvette C6 Z06 BIG Brake Upgrade!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Had some big ole C6 Z06 calipers hanging around so I decided the 69 Camaro deserves a bigger set of disc brakes! But I couldn't toss them on without giving them a fresh coat of paint!

That Rosie O’Donnell comment crushed me 😂😂😂
Finally someone that washes the old fashion way of sponge/mitt and water hose. I though I was the only one. Seems everybody uses foam sprayers now.
We are a dying breed.
i use both , cover it with the foam cannon then hand wash with the mitt and a bucket full of car wash soap ... you can never have too much soap , keeps from scratching the paint
Yet another GREAT video, Chris!! Your channel has become one of my favorite car mod channels!! I LOVE your attention to detail and the fact that you can do ANYTHING with cars!! I first found your channel with the red Z06 build and I was HOOKED!! Wish you had more time to create more awesome content!! You keep working and uploading and I'll keep watching and sharing!! Thanks brother!!
Same here! Love this channel! Chris is the cool buddy you hang out with, he's way cooler and more down to earth than other youtubers👍🏼
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words
Pro tip, leave a popsicle style stick in your grease container so ya don’t need to use fingers
Your attention to detail is bananas> Well done! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks!
The first shot of those painted calipers... WOW!
How r u not at 100k subs yet bro, underrated yt channel, great quality 🙏
I'll get there eventually!
Happy 4th brother, God bless the US of A baby!🎉
Enjoy that cool weather. 103 today in Texas
G'day Chris, as a custom car builder and fabricator myself, for the past 17-years, your attention to detail is definitely impressive and appreciated mate. I am OCD AF, and it definitely rubs off on me employees 😢....Although, I reckon that might be good? I've painted an absolute crapload of calipers over the years. I'm just curious mate, why you didn't brand or stencil all four calipers with the same name or logo...Like AP Racing, EBC, Brembo, or a custom logo? Regardless, that blue metallic paint is an absolute beaut of a colour. The metallic flake projects ridiculously under direct light. The deep silver base on your car (is that a Mercedes-Benz colour) with blue accents, looks fuggin gorgeous mate! She just needs to be slightly lowered on all fours, and her rear needs a 12-bolt. Thanks for the great video and amazing content mate. Cheers from Margaret River, Western Australia 🇦🇺.
I use one of the one man bleeder things that you can buy from auto zone…its just a littl cup with a magnet that you hose up to the bleeder screw and stick up the cup with the magnet and pump away….they are literally like $7 and work for me every time
Gotta pick one of those up
Damn half way through it I'm thinking yellow calipers? That is not the right color, then you said blue, and then there
you go a big thumbs up, nice choice!!
Yea those willwoods didn’t belong on the front. Those were rear brake calipers😂 I’m glad you swapped those out.
It’s really cool to see professional work done. I am a sheet metal guy for the Air Force and your results are coming from all the excellent technique you’re using. Really nice! 👌👌👌
Appreciate it!
@@ChrisSullivan69 of course! Where did you learn all this stuff? I am retiring in 4 1/2 years and am considering doing a skillbridge (internship to transition to civilian life) at a place to learn the craft of professional automotive skills.
Great job! Get some dust covers for the front bearings
They are in the parts pile, waiting to install them last!
A true car bro would have been there lol. Love the car man. That blue really pops.
Yes put the holly screen on the panel. It should look pretty good. You should get a mini split AC system for your shop. Maybe even insulate the shop as well. But a mini split is definitely necessary.
Brother i love the car and the idea of swapping to Z06 brakes. Only thing is that in my opinion wouldve been to tie everything together much nicer with custom Camaro stickers .
I’m also a fan of blue…looks great!!! I just have covers over my ‘88 Corvette that I barn found 2yrs ago. Slowly getting her together…eventually I plan I painting the OEM calipers same color blue
Always something when working on hot rods
Greetings Chris.. Well you did it again.. Fantastic Job..Pls keep on doing your Thang' two 👍 👍 Up
Revert to the 20oz soda bottle and vacuum line method. Bottle half full with ljne in the fluid. The basic one man bleeder. Do rr ,lr, rf,lf. In that order. Good to go. 👍🏼
OH MAN. I had the same issue with the Motive adapter. They make a bigger one. Works great 👍
Rosie O'Donnell catching strays in this episode
And now your making me want to swap the C6 ZR1 Brembos I got sitting around onto the Vette!
Awesome job bro! Keep up the good work and please don't sale the 69 👍👍
I did the z06 bbk on my 5th gen camaro over the stock 4 pistons. They are WONDERFUL. . Great upgrade for your 69!
I need a garage like yours someday! 😂
Another fantastic video. Love the collection and content with them
Yeeeessssss!! Another episode! 🤘🏼
What an awesome job buddy. And happy 4th of July. Be safe and enjoy your 4th of July holiday
Love what you do. Very inspirational. I know this isn't your job, but your Passion and it shows. Keep it up, Chris!
Favorite thing about your vids is that they're great motivation to put in the work on my own projects. Keep it up (and more c6 content😉)!
You rock brother !! Happy 4th man !! 👍🏻👊🏻 Brakes look saweeet !!!
You are lethal with that paint gun 😮💨👌🏻👌🏻 Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸🎆💪🏻
Surgical with dis bish
@@ChrisSullivan69 🤣🤣🤜🏻🤛🏻
Getting ready to work on those same brake calipers on my C6 Grand Sport to change the color from the factory red option to.... perhaps the same ZR1 blue? Not sure. Regardless, love your work and the fact that you're continuing to forge forward despite it being basically a holiday weekend. Cheers!
Chris, keep up the great work. I have been wrenching on a 67 Camaro.
I was waiting for you to try and put a wheel on. I had a feeling they wouldn't clear that caliper.
Yeahbi figured that would be the case hahab
So I have a 67 same exact suspension as and I have to recommend getting the ridetech truturn system! If you’re wanting to track your car you can fit a 275 wide FRONT tire with ZERO subframe modifications with the truturn. Just have to get the right offset on the wheel. I love my ridetech
Ill check it out!
What is the spec on wheel setup to run a 275?

@@shanehoefer7162 I’ll see if my wife can measure my back spacing mine are 18x10 in the front. Only get a tiny bit of rub on full turn if I hit a good size bump or pot hole
I’m currently deployed over seas which is why I can’t measure them
Tobin sales a matching C6 Z06 rear caliper as well. Might as well order a set and match the front
Chris please do the dipstick handle in Blue as well
The bolts are called “socket head cap screws”… always use new pads with new calipers- calipers have to glaze the pads- that’s why they have a break-in procedure. Camaro lookin 👍
I use the pvc hose into a bottle. Push air bubbles into 1/2 filled bottle. 1 person. Works great
Bro is your Tucker a giant schnauzer... He looks so much like my Giant Loki 😁 either way love the puppy!!! Been watching your channel for awhile man get me pumped up to work on the 2001 Camaro SS. Love your channel!!! Should be at 100k subs already!!!
He's a Portuguese water dog!
@@ChrisSullivan69 right on man good looking pup thanks for getting back with me!!!
Another great video, Chris. A big shout out to KORE 3 as well. I used those on my 69 Camaro and the quality and customer service are second to none.
Love the car Chris!! My vote for a winter project is the mini-tub!! Can’t wait to see it!
I have that same black torque wrench. 😎
Channel rocks. Nicely done
Very good job and nice videos like always. Pay attention that your front disc's are both front LEFT disc's! Turbine effect inside the disc will hold the air in the front right instead of ejecting it!
Your videos are awesome! Keep them coming!🎉🎉
Always awesome great job keep them coming
Geez!!!! Just love that ride Chris.
Literally did a similar BBU to my '06 Yukon Denali with rear o.e. Brembo C7 Corvette calipers/pads, offset brackets, 14-18 GM Truck rear rotors, '22 Tahoe PPV front 6 piston calipers(also Brembo)& 16" front rotors & pads(direct bolt-on). 20" wheels required, stainless steel braided brake hose kit too. Stops Flawlessly. TCI: $2400.
all that on an 06 yukon ?? no offense but the whole car is only worth about 2500 bucks
A rally sport front end would look awesome on that car.
That has crossed my mind. I also like the standard front end. That's coming....
GREAT VIDEO CHRIS !!! I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS !! JESSE VIA LAS VEGAS
I love love love your attention to detail
Always enjoy watching your videos 👍. From one car guy to another 👊
Appreciate it!
You're a funny and talented dude. Another great video.
Im with you what a beautiful color blue , Blue is indeed my favorite color
theres good videos on how to bleed your brakes by yourself. some plastic tubing, and a gatorade bottle, and fluid.
Nice 69 Camaro with A big camshaft
use a peice of hose on the bleader and insert it into a 1/4 filled plastic bottle make sure hose in bottle is submerged in brake fluid open bleader and pump the brakes slowly works for me everytime . my favorite is a 20 oz. Coke plastic clear bottle 'with the hose submerged it lets air out but can only suck fluid back .plus you dont need someone to pump the brakes . it never seems to suck fluid back just removes the air . pinch hose when removing from bleader close as you can to the nipple of bleader this will prevent getting fluid on your new painted calipers . OLD SCHOOL TRICK keep master cylinder about 3/4 full and check level after bleeding each wheel .
Thought about doing that but was too tired. Been a long day lol
Another mint looking job 🇺🇸
If i didnt live on the west coast id offer to buy them willwoods from ya!!! Theyd work great on my nova…..nevermind i just heard u say drum brakes…i have a disc car
Buen video bro 👏saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪
It sounds so damn good!!
Looking good!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Some motor that Chris, awesome mate 😎
You might need to install a proportioning valve now with those huge changes in the front.
Beautiful build , nice work- really enjoy the channel.
What rear end is in the 69?
10 bolt
Man I love your videos 💪🏾
Another awesome video and mod! Happy July 4th Chris!
hey brother I love your channel!! I just bought myself a 69 Camaro! can you please consider adding the links to the websites you bought the parts from!
38:50, a year later, I'm doing the same thing I could've been enjoying 4th of july weekend but noo I had to take my car apart to do bigger brakes and didn't even finish cause my wheel offset was miscalculated 🤣
@@BigBlockCaprice lmao hate to see it
I’d love to grab the old wilwood setup from you… :)
Already gone sorry
Chris, what are you looking to get for the old front Willwood brakes? I’ve got a drum brake 68 Firebird. I’m in VT to visit the parents, so pick up might be an option. Great video as always! You could try gravity bleeding the brakes.
Sold already thanks!
@@ChrisSullivan69 Thank you for the great videos!
Probably too late, but I always use the Gatorade bottle one man bleeder kit! 😎
Looks good love it… everything lovely in your car nice taste,but if you match rims and tires it will be nicer
Was there no way to do something else with the lettering on the big calipers? Seems weird having the "Corvette" so prominent on a Camaro. I realize they were Corvette brakes, but was there no way to do some other lettering to hide the Corvette part?
I'm probably in the minority but I like the fact that it shows it is a corvette part.
Hey Chris, another great video my dude. QQ. Me being fairly new to the custom car scene, why use Corvette stickers instead of Chevrolet? I mean is that even a thing? lmao! Thinking it's a badge of honor of sorts maybe? Anyways, great video and a really great color BTW...oh, get them brakes bled will ya?!?!??! Cheers! =)
The "corvette" just looks right on the c6 calipers!
Pause for the cause!
Man started watching your videos about 10 months ago and have really enjoyed them. I was curious what car lift you’re using in your shop? It looks a little lower then a standard lift and might fit my garage.
Looks sharp!!!!
Did you use a 9" or 11" brake booster? I'd appretiate the input you're unbelievably talented.
2nd favorite car you own besides the TT c6z! What color is that on the maro? Looks absolutely gorgeous thinking of painting my Chevy SS this color
Custom BASF color
Can you clean the rails on the inside of the garage? It drives me crazy. Thxs. Oh nice Camaro 👍
Hey, I'm new to the channel so may have missed you talking about it previously. I was wondering what kind of brake booster and master cylinder you run on your car? I've got a 77 camaro project and was lookin at doing a C5/C6 brake upgrade kit but wasn't sure what booster and master cylinder to run. I've got a work to do but also hope to gear my 77 toward pro touring. Thanks for any feedback, super sick car!
Love this car, How is the regular car paint holding up to the heat of the brakes? I am not sure I would have used corvette stickers but all in all like everything else you do man great work.
Holding up great!
El Níno weather... The air you wear.
Black lettering on the calipers might of been better.. still nice.
Chris Dude 👍🎇🎆🇺🇸🏁
I would like to buy your Wilwood brake system and wheels when you can sell them!!!!!
Might need to be lowered a bit yet, sits a bit high. Absolutely love it though
I agree. I'll get to it eventually lol
@@ChrisSullivan69 looking forward to more videos and the new wheels coming. Keep it up
@@ChrisSullivan69EVERYONE has an opinion about EVERYTHING 😂
What paint gun did you use to paint the calipers or recommend? And your choice of music in your videos is badass!
hey man I like your videos can you tell me the code of that paint that blue look amazing
I know that frustration of missing that 1 piece to finish up a project being forced to wait. But the end result should be dirty the wait 🫵🏻👍🏻 Have a great Independence Day!
Are those front rotors directional? Looks like the veins on the front left aren't facing the right way to suck in air. Correct me if I'm wrong here.
Very nice but why not "Camaro" stickers. EASY to have done somewhere.
I prefer the corvette stickers. Camaro stickers on the c6 calipers never looks right to me
@@ChrisSullivan69 Ok. That blue colour is awesome!
Hey Chris, I know it's apples to oranges, but which do you like driving more the tt z06, the 69 (that should be a 68 😁) or the n/a z06?
Why didn’t you powder coat them? I have my stock c6z red calipers I was going to Powdercoat black unless there’s a reason I shouldn’t…
Already had the paint. Powder coating works great too
