- Rust repair sucks!
Let's have a little fun and fit all the new sheet metal on this classic hot rod to see how it fits. When I made a deal on this car is came with a pile of replacement parts. Fenders, Hoods, Floors, Doors, Hoods ect ect. Before this car gets welded together I want to test fit all the panels. This ensures the car is straight and will save me a bunch of time down the road.

Enjoyed watching your builds during 2023. Since you a lot like us every day folks, bit at a time...day by day over time our dreams are built. Gives us pride and confidence.
You're as Giddy as a 16 year old looking at that Car............. DON'T EVER LOSE THAT!!!!!!!!!❤
Danny, you should remove trim around windshield and rear window as rust likes to lurk in these areas
67 doors have three screw/bolt hinges 68 had four screw/bolt hinges. I really like this build. I have a 67 RS convertible I've had since 1987. So happy I hung on to it.
it seems like the old dan is back. he is fixing little things while open. he is planning and fitting to make sure car comes out straight, he is going to paint probally with rattle can while apart. he likes his car, he is excited about the build. and so am I. Dan forget what other people say what to do while building the car make it your way. you paid for it. it is yours. Im in on watching this car. thank you GIVEBLOOD
The sub frame connectors will really make a solid car out of it . The handling will be a lot better. These cars have a lot of twist to them , especially if you are going to run big horsepower in them.
The car that probably had the biggest impact on me as a kid back in the 80"s, was a black 68 camaro. With high rise tunnel ram and gold anodized velocity stacks poking through the hood...
I love to see the rust repair. Feels satisfying to see new metal going on.
Reasonable option- 350 Muncie 4 speed. More fun- 383 Stroker Tremec 6 speed.
So glad you finally found the time and decided to do this build. Been waiting awhile.
It will be fun to see it driving down the road.
Hey Dan, they just had a hi-tech invention that will change the world, it's called a notebook. Log all your progress on whatever car you're working on, then even if it sits for 5 years all you gotta do is check the book. I'm not shittin ya Dan, it really works.
I've worked on quite a few F body cars and I think you're doing it right by saving as much original metal as possible. Lots of test fitting will make this a very nice car! Awesome work!
I think this is my favorite build so far and you've barely just begun! 😁👍
Yeah its kinda growing on me too
Always heard that original metal is better. Never saw the difference till you pointed it out , good stuff.
When you said you were going to rebuild this 1967 Camaro you were not kidding! I like the wing window cars too.
That is the original A/C of the day lol
BLUE! Nice you are building my family 67-68' Camaro from the early 70's we owned. LOVE the nostalga this build is bringing up. GO DAN GO!
Dan you can’t go wrong with a sec and a four speed. That combo will be a lot of fun around town. Keep having fun and do it your way. As a old song goes “you can’t please everyone so you have to please yourself.”
Dan, I think you should get a big white board to hang on your garage wall so you can keep track of the projects and where you left off, and what's needed and on the way lol
Add front discs keep it fairly stock . A nice 383 4 barrel and 5 speed would make it a great daily driver
You are so fascinating to watch welding, I really enjoy your Skills Dan!!
Awesome build series
My 2 cents: adjustable pedal box
Love all the hard work
Love the progress, I stupidly sold my 1967 RS/SS big block convertible Camaro and can’t afford to buy another
I had a ‘67 in 1972. Where your outer sill rotted is where a chrome spear was attached . I love that car it was Bolero Red with a black vinyl top and a black stripe around the front end.😎
I think they call those torque boxes that the spring eye bolts to and those are caged nuts you were referring to... one of my favorite metals to do patching with or make my own panels with is "satin coat" and you can get it in different gauge steel around Wpg.. you can literally throw a piece of it outside and it won't rust...you just need to lightly sand off the coating to weld...i usually buy off-cuts and get some of them bent in sheet metal brake with a 1" 80° or 90° angle...i think full sheets are 4x8 or 10...nice to have a few pieces laying around
Bud! the door is high cause it has no guts. All doors are adjusted with a slight preload. Once you put glass and cranks in it, it should drop!
The car looks great! Refurbished my welder. My welds don't look like bubble gum anymore. Now I can start rust/sheet metal repair on my '65 Malibu again. Thanks for the inspiration.
It was funny when you said it gives you Challenger vibes. Alot of people think that Chevy copied the Challenger body when in fact the 67 Camaro pre-dates the Challenger by 2 years and the Barracuda didn't use that body style until 70. I get it all the time with my 1974 Nova and the Duster even though the 68 Nova body style pre-dates the Duster by 2 years.
I’m seeing your vision for this car and it does look good with its new skin. Not usually a big fan of the “ dog dish” hubcaps but they look right on this car. This could be a really nice car and desirable car when finished.
Famous quote by the infamous halfass Brent, "if you squint, it's mint".
Uncle Tony’s Garage has a good explanation of why disc brakes aren’t needed in that old rigg. He makes sense.
The car is truly a great project, and everything is coming together.
The fact that you cut through the VP sticker to hang the quarter was just the right amount of DD Speed Shop "give a shit"... Love it!!
Just a tip, the door internals are so heavy that when you add the regulators, glass, etc the doors will sag noticeably lower than where you set them with no glass in. Excited to see this one done!
I agree with just a SBC and a 4 spd manual. You're right, You never really see just basic driver quality 1st gens anymore.
If it were mine, I'd do a 400 sbc, with a hyd roller, and AFR 220’s. Will rip, and still be super driveable.
Just found this and echo your sentiment. 400’s set up to breathe are real screamers. They love to wind up quick and deliver good torque.
Those were slip over rockers that's why they were so far off so they'd fit over the original and make it look all pretty.
They where terrible haha
I'd just keep it simple daily driver and the blue with a strip would be great 👍
Yup, glad you dragged it home Dan. Happy to see you are having fun!
Small block,light car. Will be a hoot!
Back in my teens in ST Charles the ratty camaro was the fast one around.
I love that blue color it's almost like a denim. Hopefully if you do repaint it you paint back to factory.
It is a nice car Dan! Brings me back to doing work on my 74 Nova 2 years ago now. Wow how time flies! Man, I can't wait for spring time.. Great video!
Rebuild that block to a 327 instead of the 350 with either a 4spd or turbo 400 and 3.73 gears. Wicked build and keep up the amazing work Dan! Love the Nomad
Funny how snowbanks in Canadia come with rocker sills when Wisconsin snowbanks only come with dog turds 😂😂😂😂
Dan, it's called the front Spring box and your correct, 3 clip nuts on each to hold them in.. It's all a very cheezy set up in my opinion. BUT thank god your not dealing with a 2end gen F body , there reallllllly a nightmare. If it was me, I would sand blast ALL the rust out, and hit it with Asfo & coat the heck out of all that area with a few brush coats of Rusty metal red primer & few coats of Pro15 flat black as that rust can & WILL RETURN QUICKLY !👿👿👿👿👿 Same deal with the insides of the rockers as there is no real good way to stop the rust after you weld the rockers all closed, so sand blast clean & brush coat everything in the inner rockers with rusty metal primer HEAVY before you weld on the new outer rockers.
Hey Dan
You are such a hard worker.
Take care of Yourself 😊
You are going to fall in love with first gen camaros Dan. 💪😎 welcome to the elite club my friend
I know you said you weren't sure about a spoiler, but with the dog dish rims and the Plain Jane look the spoiler would set that car off and give it that kind of COPO look which is badass in my opinion
Yeah. It can always be added.
I actually put the first gen trunk spoiler on the trunk of my ‘74 nova and i get compliments on it all the time
@@DDSpeedShop I like the car without the spoiler, spoilers are not hotrod, they're yuppy ad ons, but Dan will add a yuppy ad on just to piss people off.
@@unchained20000000must be A LOT of yuppies since the 60s & '70 out there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@unchained20000000I like how the 70 1/2 Camaro SS/Z28 rear spoiler is a low profile look.
Dang you're the only guy I see out here actually putting together a pretty much rust-free car I mean I see guys on here saying a lot about you know being a hack or whatever but that's a really solid car that's kind of what I like I like to find somebody that just likes to rough them together the grunt work and then they're like well hey you know I'd sell it you know what I'm saying it's so hard for people to come to terms with getting rid of something. Like I say people can't come to terms with aftermarket sheet metal because they have to make it fit that's part of making it fit looks good buddy keep up the good work
I think it should be a universal car two engines available the 6 cylinder in the Biscayne ran pretty good. And then that 454 can make some mega power with good aluminum heads and upgraded pistons for more compression that is the key to HP. If you ever put a lawn mower engine together you can put a big block Chevy together. That's what it is a lawn mower ×8 a piece of cake.
Gotta say, you’re going in a great direction with this Camaro. You mentioned a sbc and a 4 speed and that would be a nice driver. I tend to like nice drivers and then make them sorta spunky…
Either a 400 sbc with a circle track cam (sounds good and runs like a scalded dog), or a 454-ish with headers and 3” exhaust would really sound good, easy around town, tons o torque.
Going to be a nice old car. I would put a 6 banger back in it, and a quiet exhaust. Awesome daily in my opinion. But hey man, it's your car. You do you brother. Great content 👍👍
I 💙 the 1st Gen Camaro. My Dad has a 67 Camaro SS that he fully Restored. It's Jet Black with the Bumble Bee Stripe across the front Header from fender to fender.
Small block and 4 speed with maybe 3:73 gears should make for a fun driver! Keep up the good work Dan👍
Wow buddy! I remember watching your first few videos when you uploaded them… suddenly you pop up in my recommendations and your channel is doing awesome!!! Congratulations buddy! 32k views in 7 hours that’s nuts.
Gonna be a great hot rod Dan. I owned a ‘69 back in ‘75, and seeing you do this up makes the heart pitter patter for one. Awesome work buddy!
Love your work ethic, you get stuff done and it’s done well .
I love how you took care of the light complaints.🤣😂
Dan`s quote: If you are offended by this (the Camaro) then you are what`s wrong with the world. So true is your philosophy Dan !!! Lots of Great Inspiration at D.D. Speed !!! Onward through the fog !!!
Come on you're a genuine hot rod guy.
454 big thumper cam , tunnel ram sticking through the hood.
You know that's what you want.
All kidding aside it's your car I look forward to where you go with it.
I won't believe dd speed shop will have something nice until I see but so far looking good hope dan puts in the paint and body work this car deserves it
I have a friend who got a 6 cyl 67 Convertible in a packagedeal. He wanted to put a 454 in it. We convinced him to drive it to a show and had the public decide, well they said keep it original. He did and put the 454 in the 68 hardtop. It gets more attention than the 68.
get that big block out of the cornor get a rotating kit from sumit & aTKX trans with a9 inch with 4.11 s and have FUN!!!
HEADLINER AND PAINT SO HARD TO BELIEVE BUT I PROMISE IT WILL NOT HURT YOUR RATINGS
He never does headliners.
headliners are a total bitch though........................................@@billyduffany3387
And anything but black wheels..... those "merican" daisy's would look great on this.
Head is a chicks thing, real men go bare
I'm scared of change
I don't mind seeing you work on different cars at the same time. It brakes it up. Get to see two cars advancing at the same time. Cool 😎
I had a 67 RS 327 4 speed back in the day. Nice to see this build.
Dan - you are kicking butt is a pretty rusted hulk. I really think that you are doing a solid job with all your patch work as new metal is good and welds are strong. It’s great to see another classic get rolling again. Keep up the great work. You don’t need no stinking rotisserie. I like your music choices for the high speed video sections too great job!!!
I love this project. I predict that it is going to look so good when all the panels are done you will want to make it look even better.
Back in the 80s I was always a tri5 guy. All the unibod Camaros were rotted. But I like this 67 now! Lol
Not sure if its been mentioned, but a quick way to tell 67 from 68 doors is to count the hinge bolts..68 doors use 4 bolt hinges verses the 3 bolt 67 hinges..carry on!
while we're all waiting ... i binged the Charger playlist [i'm new to the channel] and enjoyed . even with all the issues you encountered , it too was a good looking build . slapping the panels on the Camero made all the difference in the world . looking forward to the frankenstein 57 making an return appearance . really digging that build as well . love your mindset , approach and dry humor
After you get everything lined up the way you want , drill a 1/8 hole in each hinge into door , then you can use an 1/8 inch drill bit to line everything up and bolt them right back to where you are all lined up fenders same way
Enjoying the process like all your cars. Make it a runner, yes lower it. I have a 67 and you can run a pretty big tire, front and rear. If you like it,build something later. Al, cars are getting harder and harder and you have a great start. Keepdoing what your doing. I'm 70 and it helps me to move forward with my stuff...
Looks GREAT Dan! It is really amazing seeing how you can make something so ratty look so good so quickly! Tubular control arms, dropped spindles, etc. sounds great! I think it's going to need a blower as well!
bore that 283 60 over to a 301 and a nice bump stick with a nice set of heads even vortecs will work
Daily driver, nice 20 footer. 67 Camaro is the rare-o. If you want one that is crazy hot rod chop drop and drag like you always go, do it to the 68. Keep this one stock-ish with mild normal factory like upgrades.
As always, great job Dan! Thank you for sharing.
Another great video Dan.Back in my high school days us old timers like the shackles and air shocks for that jacked up look.I had a 69 firebird 400 with l 50 15s on the back and 70s on the front,cragars of course.
I wouldnt lower it. Mine has stock suspension and it drags all the time. Be sure to order the control arms from summit or a reputable seller because some of them come with junk bushings with play in them.
I love watching you drift self tappers into new metal, its so what I would do just to piss off the trolls
It's good to see Dan so stoked! You work so much better when you are falling in love with the car, the Opel wasn't your style at all and you found too many reasons to quit the build.
LOOKING GOOD! Just dive right in and stuff getting done. Cool
Wow Dan, the lil ol' Camaro makes the garage look bigger. Keep up the good work my friend 👍🏾.
Go old school, 327 with a nasty roller cam, 5 speed and 4:11s. Can’t go wrong. High revs and 4:11s… heaven
Small block , 4 speed . Killer fun for a daily. I loved mine .
Ive been soaking my crusty smalls in white vinegar and it works quite well! I mean crusty small auto parts.
Great project lots new body parts this car needs it all it will be worth it !! Look good with rear trunk spoiler, paint job,& the rally wheels
Awesome job on your Camaro. Looking beautiful indeed. Keep up the great work.
I’m loving this build. Right in my wheelhouse.
Nothing niece than a muscle car with colour coated steelies with poverty caps!!! AWESOME!!!!!
Nice job Dan!!!!!!!
As far as sheet metal goes, On my 67 rs, I found an NOS fender for it. Good job on that patch, better to keep all the factory welds. You are on the right track. Looking forward to more on this one.
I use the rocker panels for my door alignment reference with a car like that . What I do is look for a uniform gap along the rocker and the bottom of the door equal to the rocker corner then i reference the cowl to door at the top and that gives me a hood starting point
westport wa.state here. i do not do anything vary good any more. i love your show because my brother and dad were in to cars as much if not more then you. my mom freaked out when they dug a pit in the back yard so they could get under them. then another one. cars all over the place. dad was a military cop for a while. and he loved speed. he took the family car and put a hemi in it. special ordered a monza 2+2 vet running gear for my mom. yea right. his 72 cheyenne could not sit at a light without the tires trying to spin. my uncle would cut open the torc converters open and do his magic. i wish you new how to do that. nothing but money. the only reason they let me be around because i had total recall. i could hear a motor and tell what i heard. if i saw it i remembered it. oddball nerd, thats me. my dad said i am a country boy gone wrong.
Dont put a spoiler on it... everyone and their dog puts a spoiler on their Camaro. Looks way cooler without! Love your Camaro content Dan, Cheers!
BTW Dan and Dani…loving the Canadian Flag.🇨🇦 👍👍👍
Your car is looking great. My 69 was like yours,but on the other side. The sub-frame connectors go under the front of your springs and wrap around your sub-frame bushings and you can weld them and it makes a way better job. Use polli bushings. With the mini- tubs I left the leaf springs and added weld in Q-a1 adjustable shocks so I could adjust ride height. Because I use mono leaf for the squat.we raced till 2018 lost some family members and no more track in Atlanta.
Wish I had kept my 67, it was a fun car back in the 70's. I like your FF music. A lot better the Mortske! You are so ambitious.
I’m enjoying the 67. You’ve shown a lot in this video. I’d like to see a little street radical 350/4speed with that 22 bolt. Those caps are so spot on. 👍🇺🇸
Hi, Dan: Luvin this latest build...67 first gen Camaro is my favourite.On top of new sheet metal, no markers , along with vent windows And 3 pedals..it's a win, win, win! What's not to like?
Going to be beautiful when it's done. Can't wait to see it finished
This car could be the one that will show what talents you have. You can get all your money, and some, back on this. I would think many, if not, of your subscribers would love to see this car complete.
You have an amazing work ethic, Dan. Most of can't cope with one project.
Thanks for the decoding the trim tag.
Such a cool car Dan and it's on the way to being much cooler. My favorite car anyway but I can tell you are liking it already 👌MINT!👍👍
Dan the man, you my friend are a special breed. I swear the more rust repair you do the happier you are lol😂. Keep up the content love you and Dani, you guys are so much fun to watch.
