*Jay holds up the crescent wrench*
Me: Ah, the traditional Alabama torque wrench. My old foe, we meet again.
"I got a really good deal on this car". I think Jay is starting to realize why the previous owner was willing to sell it cheap... lol
I knew what I was getting
It is a 60 year old car. There is always something. Either that or it will cost 60k dollars.
@@MaaZeus
and even then you can still have problems!
time can destroy everything, but i can also heal everything :)
@@Jayztwocents
jay keep the chrome pls its a part of the car for its time
your modern camaro is allready without chrome :)
Isn't that all car restorations though?
THANK YOU - someone saying it how it is - don't badge a car different to what the car actually is!
It's mainstream fashion today. I feel like novadays BMW M-sport package has more M-badges than the real "M-car"
Robert Smith Agreed. I wish people would stop posing in the car community.
Drp Drp A dumb trend honestly. I care less about the cars trim packages. If it gets me from point A to B, reliable, stylish ,and easy to maintain, that’s all I care about. Now cars are becoming mobile smartphones on wheels which is driving up the cost unnecessarily. The only safest driver in the world is the person behind the wheel. No tech can match that.
I just debadge my shitboxes. Lol
tell that to mercedes and bmw for their fake exhausts and m/amg badges
Busting out the hammer. Jeremy Clarkson would approve
But not near the ZL1! 🥶
I want to see ALL THE CONTENT! this video series is amazingly entertaing!
You are helping me realize that i narrowly avoided a horrible fate buying an old car to try and restore. Thank you Jay. I appreciate your sacrifice lol
Any mechanics know that it does suck whenever a "simple plan" does not want to go your way or you find other things that need to be replaced. I enjoy your pc content and I also enjoy your project car content take it one step at a time and you will have an awesome reward that no one can take from you.
As much as I like Jayz2Cents, this channel is pure gold and way more fun.
4:32 That timing was too perfect. Keep up the good work, Phil. 👍
I don’t know a thing about cars but I still find this more entertaining than cpu benchmark videos.
Jay you are my absolute favorite. From watching your tech videos over the years and now seeing you work on what is my dream car. Oh how i hate the half-ass work that was done to it, but I'm here for the wild ride that is the restore of this.
Can't wait to see the fuel inlet video! i want a '79 camaro so i'm currently living vicariously through your videos. Keep up the great work!
Keep em coming Jay! This is a good series because not all of these cars are perfect. You still have a really good starting point with that car. Will definitely be worth the effort!
Everytime you said Chevrolet I was earing "chèvre aux lait" (wich can be translated to milk goat)
What if that was the origin of the brand name?
Imagining people saying "I just bought a milk goat corvette!"
The main founder was a Swiss guy called Louis Chevrolet.
These aren't long enough! We need more Jay!
It's cool to see the process your going through to get this car to were you want it to be. Thanks for sharing it with your viewers.
Yes please!
The 67 videos are great content. You're living my dream of owning a first gen Camaro.
This is the best content to find on my sub feed after a long day at work, thanks man :)
Keep it coming jay your making me feel like getting to a job on my car I've been putting off for 10 years
I remember the original two idiots videos with Nick!
You and Phil are awesome to watch, but it'd be good to see all three of you
Love it, Its nice to see that my struggles working on an old truck. 1970 C-10 Chevy, isnt just me being dumb. But just the struggle of the old cars themselves
Thank you for these videos Jay. I am not a huge DIY for cars, as I am not "great" with tools, that's why I work on PC's. But these videos are very entertaining, and I enjoy them!
some of the 50's cars had a capital V (CheVrolet) in the badge when they had the v8 instead of the i6
Jeremy Parsons id put that mod on a badge on a restomod or rat rod.
This has been my dream car ever since I was a little kid. My gf's father has an original 69 convertible white with orange stripes. Not a fan of convertibles, but they're damn nice cars. 67 SS/RS is my go to.
Please keep taking us along! Even if Phil isn't available and it has to be a vlog shot I want to see all the improvements.
I'll watch ANY video you put about this car! so much enjoyment! :D
16:20 And that's why it's such a good thing to just watch on TH-cam. Feeling reward because "we did it", while doing zero amounts of effort. Keep going Jay!
I am really in the same boat with my poor nissan 240sx. I am really enjoying the content Jay. Thanks for showing us your other hobbies!
I agree with you Jay! I was working on a mates 67 rally sport yesterday, we we're changing the engine mounts and the previous owner put the bolts through the front side so we had to pull off the fuel pump and power streering pump to get the bolts off. The previous owner stitched us up hahaha
YES we want to see ALL of the work. Great video
As a auto body tech and a auto tech I find that Jay is just doing what we "professionals" do daily
Loving this lil build. Getting me trough the boredom of quarantine 🤙 beautiful car also.
I love these videos. ITs the quintessential weekend project fun. From light surround lenses to why its called 'che v rolet'
Also, quick-ratchet spanners are a godsend. But i can raise you one better. Using two screwdrivers zipted together to hold a bolt from one side, while you wrench it from the other, while doing car yoga in an engine bay that was designed for chipmunks and not human mechanics.
Please keep making car videos!! Been asking for content like this since your nizzy vids! :)
Loving it Jay please as many more as you can. Entertaining and a little informative. ( ITTTY BITTTYY BIT informative)
and here i thought working on my '03 Crown vic police interceptor was a pain in the ass, this takes the cake. would love to see some more jay!
No joke, I'm going to be helping my dad change the fuel neck on his '67 SS in a couple weeks hahaha. Going to keep an eye out for that vid :D
As a fellow “purist” I completely agree. With classic cars I believe everything should be kept as it was off the showroom floor. I do not care for “restomods”, but I can appreciate the hard work it takes. Keep up the good work!
These videos are highly entertaining.
From past experience for me the more bullshit a car put me thro when restoring it the more I loved it when I was done .......Blood sweat and tears
I know your pain Jay. budget restoring a chevy c10 right now and constantly having to deal with stuff not lining up, having to return "oem" parts and weak stuff breaking from me trying to replace something adjacent to it. the amount of times i scream out "I HATE THIS PIECE OF S*%t" when all is said and done it makes me smile when I look out in the driveway
I appreciate the dedication to accuracy in your badging. As you described, putting a ZL1 bumper on for function would be one thing, but pretending the car is a higher trim than it is? Totally different.
I love the attention to details, using a model brush for paint touch ups. Technically the same thing, just different scales.
Glad to see Phil helping out with this stuff too :)
yes im enjoying the car videos, please show every step
Jay, I like the way you do cars. You do 'em good.
I’d recommend looking up an old school guide to align those headlights, they’re both adjustable, for example, the left headlights are usually tilted downwards to not shine in oncoming traffic’s eyes as much, and focuses more on the road
Loving the content Jay please keep it coming
Hell YEAH! We want to see it ALL!!
Perfect time to take my lunch break and watch a video
really enjoying these videos! keep it up! and put the video on for the fuel neck lol
I love Jay's music taste lol. reminds me on my childhood. aka 10 years ago
Phil we would love all videos on this car and a ool thing to get thats been a savior for those hard to reach parts is those gear wrenches now everyone make a version having the rachet in the nut side of the wrench so helpful
I know nothing about cars beyond a basic level, and nothing about restoration, but here I am.
Authentic battle damage! That front end is a veteran! :)
Not a huge car fan but I like your content. Here's your sub
There a good phrase I like, it ain’t stupid if it works. I really like these videos
Jay when ever you replace parts you learn of the sins of previous owners still a nice car worth the effort. Always choices what you can live with or just fix every thing.
"Do you wanna see... comment below "
Of course we want to see - y'all are quite entertaining to watch in these kinds of vids. Keep 'em coming!
C'mon Jay, should've use a ratcheting wrench instead of the crescent wrench. Unless the angle was off. Love watching these videos, should really bring this channel back.
it's not stupid if it works Jay, using a block of wood and a jack is fine to me. I had to do body work with a sledge hammer and a cast iron pipe after hydroplaning backwards at 45 mph into a guardrail. that 77 monty carlo just lost a tail light and had some minro damage to rear quarter. just had to reach into a tight space with an iron pipe and hit it with a hammer to get it pushed back and bolt in a new tail light. worked great.
Yes to fuel neck video. Love this content!
I could watch a video about installing the fuel neck
Keep up the good work
I would like to know the number of hours Phil will spend filming the restoration of this car. This is going to be a $180K car when Jay is finished.
I understand not wanting to put different badges on to make people think it is what it's not but I feel like changing the bumpers or any other part of a car is fine as that can add performance/airflow etc and make the car look better to you.
Jay, you should try finding some sort of shock absorbing bumper mounts for the bumpers to turn them into 5 - 10 MPH Bumpers. There has to be an aftermarket something to fix this.
I have begun to worry about Jay anytime I see him laying slightly under the car. Like I expect something to fall on him. Love the car channel. Motivates me to work on mine.
... So youre worried that the wheels are going to fall off, and pop sideways and that the car is going to fall.... from the ground?
@@Jayztwocents more like something you're unscrewing may fall on you. Always those extra bits in old cars that tend to find foreheads and eyes.
Big difference. Looks good.
Hey Jay - let me help you out a little bit. For better replacement headlights for that thing, look up JW Speaker ... they make drop in LED headlights that are actually street legal. They're an oem manufacturer that has the ability to test via the dot rules for their products. They're worth every penny too.
Great as ever!
I'm sad every time a car video ends. I want to see more!
HID upgrade or even LED is def worth it, my buddy did it in a miata and it was such a huge difference
I have a feeling the car will win this war..... and Jay will resort to brute force XD
Your gonna make so many Mechanics cringe on this channel and I love it lol.. from one seasoned Mechanic and tech nerd DO THE TANK NECK please
I really enjoy Jays two cars. Keep em coming. Yet don’t drop the tech vids.
Cool video. Just to set things right regarding whether the car is an SS or not , the trim tag on the firewall will tell you exactly what the car was optioned with, not the VIN. Same with most of the 1969's - the 68's are entirely different story.
Damn Jay and his "Elitist Pureist" look :P
Looks good either way man.
lol Yes I wanna see the fuel neck. I actually really like this if you show us more of your endeavors that would be great
Keep the content coming!
I have a 1989 nissan 240sx, im the 14th owner of the car, everything is tweaked on this shell but its fairly "internet clean" it looks great in pictures lol. But youd be surprised at how close you can get your body back to perfect with a jack, some wood, a rubber mallet, a 3lb sledge hammer, a ratchet strap and a tree. But my 240 is held together with self tapper, zip ties, electrical tape and rust so youre doing better than i am right now lol
Show us everything you're doing! It is quite entertaining!
Is it just badging? That I agree with but the nismo bumper looks so much better and that goes for a lot of cars
Love your videos! i just grab a vine and some potato chips after all day at work and enjoying you :D :D Thanks and keep goin!
Well it's go to see Jay didn't kick his own ass in this one. Not like he did when he put the suspension in. Yes gas cap vid. 😆
do more pls, love these
Yes let's see the new fuel neck installation 👍
You got a beater so enjoy it as it is, don't seek perfection. Better to have it on the road than going show and shine
My two cents would convert the headlights to halogen lights from the 6014 bulbs. The 7 inch halogen will work. I used them when change the headlights in my 1937 Chevy.
Man I wish I was Phil. He gets to hang out with Jay and film/work on two camaros. That's awesome.
Wouldn't it be better to be Jay and own the two Camaros xD
JakeM624 Don’t we all...
he also has to edit his videos tho. also im pretty sure jay farts next to phil, i wouldnt want that
@@stopstalkingyouspookybastard pretty much
Hey Jay,
Take a look at LED solutions if you have not yet. HIDs are good, sure, but it has the added hassle of harness and ballasts and higher level of degradation, specially on a car that vibration wasn't really a concern when it was built. Morimoto LED's have been a great success for me when I switched my A3 from HID's to LED.
Great work as always.
P.
Also if the fan noise from the LED is something that bothers you, they can get loud, BEAMTECH makes fanless LED modules that also works really well and they are silent. On my pickup, since there is no projector housing, like the camaro, the fan noise was a problem. the beamtech ones fixed that issue.
Haven't full kept into this, but did you decide what motor you were doing? Noticed those house twist connectors on the front end. Imagine some issues down the road. Perks of buying someone else car is you dodged having to full rebuild a car at once instead you just rebuild the car whenever you go to fix one small thing :) Also side note, glad to see someone who doesn't cave or concern themselves with opinions of random people online.
I love old cars, I owned a 66 Mustang Convertable and a 78' Z-28 which was just a slightly sportier version of a Dog Camaro Year Anyway, but hey i was young and wanted a new car. I sold it in 84' for $500 less than I paid for it new. Not bad in those days. Anyway Jay have fun with this if you havent already finished it. These days I prefer New Cars to Old Cars. That Late Model Camaro next to your 67' is a much better car imho.
Btw guys, if phil needs original parts for his golf. There is a shop in germany, that has all old parts and even the really rare parts they are named vw original
"i forgot i have a cameraman"
now Jay, come on mate . .
Philly ain't that small right? ^^
You will figure out if you haven't already is that the new parts you can get arent always the same dimensions as the original factory part when it was new or undamaged. So things wont always fit properly.
Jay, I struggle with the badging of things incorrectly as well. One of the things I want to do so bad is put black M3 badges on my M3, which is not a competition spec. I put carbon fiber pieces all over it, the windows are tinted black and everything, so black badging would match much better instead of chrome. Maybe I go carbon fiber badging if I can find it instead..... not sure.
Me: "This still doesn't really feel like a car channel for some reason"
Jay: *uses an adjustable wrench cuz he doesn't have the right size wrench*
Me:"Ok well...."
fill'er pipe. That is what she said. yes plz from Oz love the computer geeks working on cars. best comedy routine in years where was Mo for this one. only Larry and Curly.
Jay you should look into Forgestar, they make really good looking and lightweight wheels
As a mechanic I do not know this pain, as I have spent more money on wrenches to get in weird places then I care to admit. I would highly recommend getting a set of SAE ratchet wrenches, so handy on these older cars.
