Entertainment not instruction! We thought we would create this channel just to have some fun, and if in the process we can share something useful with folks well that's a big win! James and I work together nearly every day tinkering on one vehicle or another and haphazardly fumbling our way through most jobs. We're not professionals, and we make no such claim. Basically just a couple of ordinary folks wrenching away, learning as we go, and sharing some bad advice and how not to’s! We truly hope you enjoy what we share.

Ratmaro gets BRAKES while it literally CRUMBLES!
In this episode we work to get stopping on our 1969 Camaro rescue project. I also take a look at the rear diff and try to get a fuel tank installed, while fighting to keep it from falling apart! If we ever want to get this plie on the road, we gotta tackle the tough stuff right? We hope you will follow along with this very questionable build!

You brought me so much enjoyment just seeing you trying to restore that Camero on a budget and having fun & enjoying life just like we did back in the day as teenagers.
That’s great, glad you enjoyed it!
I thought i saw a second one in the drive. Parts car?
Nope, just one. Thanks for watching!
I know a guy in South Carolina that keeps 10 acres of first gens at all time...
For sale or just keeps them?
Loving the series on this car. More people need to get their car running and driving and then just drive it.
Thanks!
I have a fathom green car ( per the plate in engine compartment) it’s in primer now
Send pics when you’re done!
50 bucks for halogen light bulbs......you can get led's that are twice as bright for that price......I'm done with halogen
Thinking I am now too! Thanks!
You have to send down the headlights.And then you have to buffet out and then you have to hit it with some clerk hole. Those headlights are junk.
Sounds like a good approach, thanks!
I watched the whole vid its just amazing. keep going sir
That’s awesome thanks!
Well, my experience with a VW was a 2002 beetle for my daughter. Let’s just say I would never recommend owning one. Hopefully you have a better experience.
Yes, hopefully. Thanks for watching!
I got a VW for my daughter, too, a beautiful Beetle TDI manual. My best advice is DO NOT FIX IT. Remember, when you replace components, VW also makes the new ones. It is a money pit!
Very true!
Haha just like it was my mechanical expertise at work
..."I'm running low on license plates"....LOL !! Awesome... 😂🤣👍
Yeah I’m nearbout out!
I love your style. Thats why I watch. For one guy to put this content together with all the cars.. Wow. I also loved the chair/floor jack combo. Great stuff. I hate gas tanks.
Glad to have you onboard, thanks for watching!
Haha, your videos are quite entertaining. Keep it up. We all need a good laugh now and then.
Happy to help!
Omg its a vr6. That thing will sing with an exhaust.
Now there’s an idea! Thanks for watching!
@@hammersgarage VR6's are known for their wookie sounds th-cam.com/video/5otY09Rt5Sc/w-d-xo.html
Once you get into VW’s and Audis a few times they are all very similar and easy to work on. The issue is all the hidden clips and fasteners and not breaking them. But paying a mechanic will kill the average owner who can’t do the work because it’s time consuming.
It is definitely time consuming, thanks for watching!
The $50 bulbs offer no more light output than the $6 bulbs.
I’m sure that’s true, thanks!
Update
Check out the playlist!
On the brakes, no drawing is required. Pull both drums, and use the other side as a pattern. Then, do the other side with the first one as a pattern. I happen to like drum brakes!
You’re a rare bird!
4.30 gears not too bad around town, fun to play around with lol if you have overdrive transmission would help as you know . I can tell you are very knowledgeable sir!
That’s debatable lol!
@@hammersgarage yes sir just my experience in chevelle it was fun
@@user-vg9on1dq7f no I mean my being knowledgeable is debatable…
@@hammersgarage lol gotta ya
A 12 bolt 4:30 ratio spooled differential with 3” wheel studs??? That’s worth half the price you paid for the car😂. And then you cut the studs down? This show is better than Seinfeld!!!😂😂😂
Yeah why not heck, it’s a sleeper now! 😂
I never liked the patina finish, but can’t wait to see the finished product! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for watching!
That size of engine works real well in cars that size.
Hopefully it will last a little bit! Thanks for watching!
I’d thoroughly recommend putting a rubber/foam mat down and lying on that , I’ve done what you are doing the other week and my goodness I ached the following day 😂😂 thoroughly enjoyed watching this and I like the play on words 👍 you sound familiar to another chap on TH-cam AvE go and listen to him 😆
Thanks for watching!
i'm right behind you. looking for a rust bucket 69 Camaro. Keep up the great work! And thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Excited to see this car finished
Me too! Thanks for watching!
Ha! This time, I saved you for last so I can laugh all I want without any risk... Crazy man!
Enjoyed
Thanks for watching!
OOhhh Man, I liked the Weld wheels, keep them aside, so when I purchase the car from you down the road, I'll put them back on. haha.I CANNOT believe how much "stuff" came outta that quarter, And the fact that I live in California, I approve the panel fix.
I think you’re gonna like the wheels that are going on! Thanks for watching!
@@hammersgarage I'll take your word for it, so far, so great!
Need to have a new tee shirt Funny Man with A Plan, enjoy your channel live in Gainesville, Ga. area.
That’s awesome, thanks! Maybe we’ll meet up at a car show soon!
Love the car, the project and you have a great attitude. She must look worse in person, because she don’t look too bad on camera
lol, thanks! (It’s pretty terrible)
I cannot watch anymore.
Lol
Recently got my daughter a green New Beetle. I learned what a triple square is🤣. We took the complete rear end off to mount her backup camera behind the bumper cover looking through the license plate. Your commentary is great.
Thanks for watching!
If it is German then it has to be a Decepticon...
Agreed!
Just saying Vega needs ur small block for the 69 , be a fun car lol
Sure would!
The VW EOS is lovely... if it works.
Someone replace the wires on that headlight to put cheap bulbs in! Those aren’t the correct bulbs at all! The bulbs in those are supposed to be the projection bulbs But they’re expensive! Although I found them on Amazon for as lox as $25 for both! But theyre the correct ones! Clear white not yellow like the ones you have
I figured as much, thanks!
I had a 2012 eos and a loved it! Only had 40k miles when I got hit and totaled and wasn’t hit very hard at all!!! And when that roof stops working it’s going to cost more than the car itself! I had to replace pumps/gears in my roof it was $7,000 Thankfully it was under the 30 day warranty since I bought it used.
Sounds like a tin can nightmare!
A VR6 IN A EOS?
Yep!
EOS the greek goddess of love made in portugal for VW 2.0 turbine dual clutch tranny in my 2009 the 2007 supposedly gets water in the trunk fixed in the later models im told
Well I have that to look forward to I suppose, thanks!
Tie down strap helps on A arms been there lol

Yeah, no kidding! Killin’ myself over here…
Magic easer pads clean Chevy steering wheels pretty good fyi
Oh that’s a handy tip, thanks!

Totally priceless!
