Congratulations number machining. 👍68 .sweet 😊
Thank you
Nice production with your videos, looks like Discovery or history channel tv shows
Thank you!! More episodes coming soon!!
She’s a beauty Darron.
Thank you so much!!
Yep..a P-51 Mustang would be good with a jet engine but you just don't mess with originality.
Wonderful episode!!!
We need more videos. I absolutely love the channel. But so much waiting is hard. Love it tho man. Plz get us some more cool finds and videos soon
It’s a survivor!! No way would I change it!
Love it when I run across a kindred spirit!
Thank you
I OWN A TORCH RED 1977 CORVETTE, I SUBSCRIBED AND HIT LIKE, I WILL WATCH ALL THE VIDEOS YOU PRODUCE ON C3 CORVETTES, MY 1977 CORVETTE WAS MY DREAM CAR, FOR MANY YEARS SINCE 1977.I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL LOL..
I always wanted a 1968 Corvette since I graduated high school and started working. But life happens and I am almost in the shape of that Corvette.
Don’t lose the dream Imhad to wait till I was 62 to get mine!
"Car needs everything" lol. That car is ready to drive now lol
Brother , I have a 68 L79 car. Sat for 30 plus yrs. It was locked...soaked cylinders with PB blaster and trans fluid.. turned just fine . Runs like a top ! 11 to 1 is a bit high... but thTs what she was born with !
It is as original as yours. Hot slot i take def. Needs heat shield and double gaskets. I did pu the pan clean it oyt and replaced oil pump . Run a good high zinc oil
Get her goin !
The engine ended up having a broken timing gear…I completely rebuilt with all new internals it sounds good on the run stand..
@@darroncheney637 cant wait to see it !
Dear God! Why didn't you take 15 minutes to pull the plugs first and dump some Marvel Mystery Oil into the cylinders to loosen the rings? I would never try to start an engine that's been sitting for more than a year without doing that first, let alone 30+ years!
No kidding !!!!
Yup, exactly what I thought too, I’d never just crank the car that had been sitting that long.
Usually sitting on dirt really does a number on the frames.....but inside alot easier on them of course except the critters.
That's a beautiful car
@@IamRemoWilliamsthank you.. I’m loving this car..
Great episode. I love my Mahogany '78.
Let's goooooo! Another great episode. Keep em coming.
Hoping to get more out faster! Thanks for the support! 🤘
Thanks Mal!!!!💕
Next time,take me with you, that's my dream
WOW! Just stumbled on the barn find video and this one... but 6 months ago? I can't imagine what all has happened in the last 6 months! Such a cool car and cool FIND! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! More videos please!!!!
who knows. they may be finishing the whole damn project before they post it lol
How come they didn't pull the plugs out and soak the cylinders down and do all the stuff you're supposed to do to a car that's been sitting that way you don't just try to start it
Love it!
Enjoyed video ! Remember when I sold my 73 Corvette guys had a book to double check it was numbers matching. Looking forward to restoration.
I had a '68 Corvette (non matching) with a 350 built by RHS. It had ported heads and a 292 cam giving 1/2 inch lift. I was told when I bought it that the engine made between 375 HP and 400 HP. It was the same color but was a T-top coupe. Taking the tops and the pop-out rear window off/out made it like driving a convertible. I really miss that car! Sold it "for a song" during hard financial times. ☹
I love your Corvette. Its a very special first year edition, of this new model and also because i was born in 1968, as well. I surely hope that you rebuild that original 327 engine, with all its matching numbers and its original title. Don't swap the motor, with an L.S. engine, unless you think it's absolutely necessary. I sincerely hope that it will turn over. I just love the body, the beauty and the style of it. Better and faster than a Mustang. Thank! you for this wonderful presentation, on the RUclips channel and good luck, with your Corvette project. You seem absolutely thrilled, about it...and so do I. Johnny, Montreal, Canada ❤️
I loved meeting you two at the Fannin County Fair Car Show. It was great meeting people who knew my dad Syl-Dean.
Thanks Bart!! It is always nice to find something in common!!! Small towns feel like family!!!💕
what a beautiful C3. Always wanted a chrome bumper Vette. I guess I have to be happy with my 87 for now :)
Nice find. Looking forward to seeing you guys work on it.
350 horse 327- that’s what I’m talking about💥👍
Yes sir!! It runs strong I completely rebuilt it back to original…
Darron, I have always wanted a 1968 Corvette convertible, that will be one SWEET car when you get it done. I like the 427s but I think the 327 is a better motor for a Vette. Very entertaining video. Remember we are just caretakers of these machines I am glad you got it.
That carb gasket and heat shield is correct for that Q Jet application. Horseshoe intake. Most people add another gasket between the heat shield and carb. Nice find and that 327 - 350 HP motor I believe is a small journal crank. If so, very nice.
What’s happening with the Corvette ? You have a great channel 👍👍👍👍
Discovery channel produce this!? So well done! Gained a Sub! Content awesome! Just picked up a ‘69 Vette 59k miles 427/4sp number match. Can’t wait to ride a long during this restoration! Cheers from Maine!
Thank you so much for your fantastic compliment.. my man Wes at 289 film production is the best.. again thank you and watch us thru this complete build along with some others also..
I like the show. Keep it up boys. :)
Thanks for the kind words!
Nice car Brother, I have a old Trans Am that could use a LS….
I was born in 1968... cool, cool ride! Btw, I just have to say that you guys are A#1 class act(s). Good job, you deserve it. Well bought and don't forget to give that nice lady a ride ; )
Need 3rd episode
Corvette yes, Snake 🐍 No. I don't do Snakes !!!
I wonder if one of those astronauts picked a L 88
The C3s were Stingrays but the C2s were Sting Rays.
I can understand how that happens I have a 2016 sitting in a garage covered it has about 26000 miles on it I only drove it about 100 miles this year I live in Michigan we get bad winters the older I get the less interested I get in it I actually like my 2016 F250 lariat crew cab diesel better than I do my corvette
And one guy in Los Vagas ownes all of the Apollo Vettes
you can put lltile of bit oil in the motor and turn it over
It had a stripped timing chain.. I completely rebuilt it all new parts and I ran it on a stand to break it in and it sounded great..
I would have put some Mystery Oil in them cylinders and try to free that motor up and hear it run. That's going to be a really nice car!
GET a more positive MECH. For the love of God!!!
He can be grumpy.. lol but he is a very good mechanic!!
@@darroncheney637 Good is a mute point if he has nothing but a negative thoughts about the car. Maybe he'll give ya a 45 -55% effort with that attitude. As far as watching the video his negativity makes what could be a inspirational video into a downer.
Interested in selling that Skylark?
I would sell the blue skylark..
Cold noses
Fix the 327, no ls
We have the 327 rebuilt and ready to go.. it had a bad timing chain.,
Please actually show the work. I am disabled now but tore down a 68 convertible Vette w/327 all original with 36,000 original miles. Car has been sitting like that for at least 10. Years now. Help my memory on bolt and parts finished so I can get it judged. Thanks
Did they check the oil before trying to turn it over? Should put some in the cylinders too, and leave the plugs out.
Yes we checked all that first..
@@darroncheney637 Is it still in the works? It's been awhile since the last video. I saw a C2 Vette when I was a youngster, and I've been obsessed with them ever since. I've been to the factory tour in Bowling Green, and the National Corvette Museum. 👍
Yes it’s still in the works .. my guy that videos wife had a baby so it’s put us behind a little.. I’ve completely rebuilt the engine it had a bad timing chain gear,, the body is ready for paint and having the frame powder coated soon.. thanks for watching
I know you’re not gonna put out 1 video every 3 months. Come on man! “” You’ve got to push yourself to work on it weather you want to or not”. Your words!
First off thank so much for following. We had been putting in lots of hours finishing up Tracy’s 72 C10.. we are back on the 68 vette ..
Is there a part 2??
Yes there are 6 more episodes coming soon
Can I buy that blue skylark
Sure I would sell the 71 skylark..
How much how far you from Houston TX I learned to drive in one 350 rocket
I’m 5 hours away.. I want $7500 for the skylark.. it’s a good running driving car..
6000 thousand
$7000
He doesn't realize? He's probably been wrenching since before you were a gleam in his eye. Let him put an LS in his OWN car...swapping the engine will devalue the car.
It has a smog pump. It isn't a 68. Maybe a 71 or 72.
I'm sorry I like a good Corvette revival but I can only make it half way thru this one. The scripting smells as bad as the mouse party must.
Thank you for watching!! Maybe you will like some of the upcoming episodes!!
One of these guys that puts lipstick on a pig and calls it super model. If you're look'n for junk you're on the right channel.
Thank you for your kind words..
You have to be a pink Subaru owner. To call this a pig. Such a follower.
your boy whines alot.
This campy scripted piece of work has to be a Motortrend or Discovery channel or something. 😢
It's not! I'm just a independent filmmaker who is interested in classic cars. I film for a living.
I'll take this as a compliment though! (No script, just improvised). I wish i was good enough to write scripts lol.
Did you guys skip English class in High School?? You spent over half the video yapping.
Make a video on your own. Then you can yap. If not. Stop your yapping.
