I've owned at least one of every generation Camaro upto 2005. Every one suffered the same inherent Camaro problem. They handle like crap unless you do some major weight movement and front end work. The first three gens understeer to the point that gaurd rails were by far the best way to get them around a corner. I drive a 72 911T. I like cars that can go around a corner. I'm the same way about bikes. Amd then, 74. EPA, and rubber bumpers. This is one I'd take straight to the recycling shop. Our shop does about 3 rods a year. We wouldn't waste time on this. Have fun all.

I have been a fan for many years and learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you for what you do!

You should get ahold of John Kosmoski and come to his booth at Back to the 50s car show in St. Paul next year. Ryan from counting cars was here this year in the booth

I can’t claim to be a professional, but wouldn’t the issue of burp sprays be removed by hanging the tank when painting?

Thank you so much!!! I would love to show my friends and family what I’m capable of with a little bit of time by myself.

Wow I can’t wait to watch all this I just cut up a 74 and am close to Finishing it

I used this paint to paint my bike. It says on the can to recoat "within 1 hour or after 48 hours." My experience is if you wait more than 30 minutes, it will wrinkle every time, because the new paint dries quicker than the previous coat. You do several coats waiting no more than 15 minutes, then leave it for 48 hours to wet sand. After sanding you must wait another 48 hours to recoat or clear. If you don't want to sand, you can clear within that 30-minute window or you have to wait 48 hours. I've tried everything with regular Rustoleum and 2X rustoleum, these rules are absolute.

Nope, 74 is my "NO" year. EPA Safety Nazi, bulognne. Even screwed up the 911 with the rubber bumpers. Just say no to 74. Hah good oval track racer if you move some weight around and put a real engine in it. Have fun.

when I did autobody, a classmate asked why not just use an electric sander? the instructor looked him in the eye and said, do you use vibrators on all your women? Do you lack the intimacy for the job? no one asked about electric tools after that..

Are you painting the inside of the bed?

Exciting or not. It’s information that we or I need to learn. I want to try and paint my SSP Foxbody Notch. I can’t afford to pay someone so I will do the best I can and it will be better than the primer that’s it’s been for years

Thanks so much for taking the time to show the steps involved with panel gapping. I spent 4hrs doing what you did in 30 minutes Hi from Australia

ive used most every rattle can paint and while they all look good new, they fade after a few months so they are all a waist of time.

I love the channel.i once had a Norton front fender do the wrinkle thingi was very nervous lol but came out ok !!really cool demonstration keep going i love painting and always something new to learn for sure!

So much great information!! You do such a fantastic job of teaching and working! Love it!! I'm getting ready to paint my 67 mustang. Just at the blocking stage. I painted it in 1988 and boy have i learned what not to do. 😂

Great in depth video. Learned a lot. You’re a perfectionist and it shows.

Awesome. Super informative and seeing the results and understanding the process makes it a very good watch.

Fill it with lead! Lol

I want to know if it will hold up to Gas, if you spill some on it. Or will it melt off.??

Sounds like you got a cricket in the garage lol

Kevin, Ive been watching you build cool stuff since the Sunday morning power block. This content is so much better, we get to see more of your personality.

That's the kind of company I want to work for are they hiring

Thanks for showing us all the warts and wrinkles in this project! Well done!

Are you going to paint the bed or because it's Derek's truck do a bed liner

I know nothing about bodywork, I play with woodworking mostly, so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. Is there a reason I’ve never seen someone use stripper for the paint instead of sanding it off?

I for one really appreciated this episode, I think you are a great teacher... Buuuut, and I know this is probably per the customer Derek's wants, but the filler everywhere crap sounds bad... I thought its only supposed to be 1/16th or less? maybe thats all you are seeing a need for I dont know, you never said how off it is... Id like to see some hammer and dolly, PDR, and some of that glue stuff with with the plastic pieces you pull with a slide hammer for perfection... maybe since im new to your channel I need to go back and search older vids, but I for one hate working with filler and want to learn more of the metal working. I have a project Im working on that I picked up for a steal because insurance totalled it for hail damage and need to get better at the metal working part without damaging existing paint. This video was great though, I did learn a few things I hadnt discovered either on my own or in other videos. Thank you for that, looking forward to more vids.

Great video idea. Thank you for the education!

This car is a stab in the heart with a hooked barb. Ouch. Your shockingly good attitude is heartwarming. Good luck.

Rip joe elmore.

Awesome video! Thanks - looking forward to the next one!

NNNNNICE! Excited to see this one

55:00 before here actually, nah please EXPLAIN what you're doing. PLEASE! This is the LESSON, I can watch 1,000 guys block their work and not explain the art of it. I am with you on the lesson, I get that a long block and actually using it for it's lesson it teaching you exactly when it's time to stop and know where to fill and how much to keep taking off. This is GREAT information, please less work and more explaining. Please!

Always the same: lots of bondo to hide structural damage means whoever sold you the car was shady and tried to hide it. I bet you paid too much for it.😢

Can you not clean paper with a brush? Didnt see you take assessment of the roof.

You gotta sand the clear coat before you get to the paint

KT! I'm such a nerd I was like "He read my question on the air!!!!" Even my wife was excited! Thank you so much for the tip on the creases on my '64 Chevy C10 woes. It was a hard impact. I was late for range (retired LEO) and backed right into a tree. I thought I lost my teeth and knocked the soda out of my hand. I took off and made it to range then discovered the bumper was hanging by a thread. Those sides that wrap around and attach to the lower rear skirts just curled that sheet metal. I was heart broken. I got most of it out but the creases! Thank you so much! Your video is not boring. Blocking can show some waving in just a short area! Can't wait for the next video!

Great episode! in the small areas that you hit metal on the top bed rail, could you have hammered that high spot down to minimize the amount of filler or do you just keep chasing the high spots doing that and have a huge sag?

What kind of voo-doo allows you to take off the adhesive backing while wearing gloves? That would have quickly turned into a moment that would destroy the innocence of small children if they were in ear shot of me trying that!! Thanks for the GREAT content, this has quickly become one of my favorite channels.

Rustoleum has an extended cure time, especially the oil based enamels. If you can dent it with a fingernail, its too soft to polish probably. It will haze up as it cures. Heat helps drive off the solvents. Bake it.

Kevin, for me this episode is very interesting to be learning about the process involved. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

ZeXter? Bummer about the frame rails, but surely they are repopped or someone does a Roadster Shop style chassis for it. The 6 is there, and usable we assume, so get a Nissan diesel crank andbuild a big power stroker. My friend built one and it was very impressive and backed up the big bark it had very well in those late night street challenges. Enjoy the journey.😎

You dont have to change the paper as often if you use compressed air to blow off your block every few minutes. I only change my paper when its actually worn out of the grit spec. And all them body defects will be blocked out with the polly high build primer "body man in a can". No need to block before the polly filler. Lol Long time fan rediscovered you after a vgg episode!

I like how your telling how it really works.

This product is a game changer for me. I've been using these advance spray cans for all of my projects.

That hood release cable is going to be stretched

Rust Oleum is garbage

Fascinating to me Kevin. I'm too old and decrepit now to do any kind of project like this, and I never did anything like this when I was younger, but watching the process and the way you make it understandable is very enjoyable to watch. Thanks!

I was an auto body tech for my entire working career and my biggest pet peeve was mismatched hardware. A sure sign of a poor repair by a poor technician.

Were you just sniffing the seat? 🤦‍♂️

There's a time and place for power tools. I find the use of hand tools, even when stripping down, allows the finesse to really let me know if those little bolts and screws were 8lbs or 12lbs. which matters when I put them back in later. Sometimes, I just zip everything off because I know I'm replacing all the nuts bolts clips and the rest of them, so I just don't bother finessing anything.
