Watching the re-runs now on Dutch tv. Holy crap! That Mike plonker is an absolute tool when he pretends to work on the cars. That stripe would be the first thing I would remove. It was so off-center that it would bug me every time I’d look at the car. And they kept showing shots of the car from an angle it was impossible to miss. And I hope he used some paint or any protection after he drilled several holes in the car while fitting the front splitter and rear spoiler. 🙄 He should stick to selling the cars.

I love this episode because it really highlights Mike Brewers Ego and his incompetent car restoration work he always fucks things up particularly the stripes on thr bonnet here he REALLY FUCKS IT UP!!!!!!
With the help of my local Chevy dealer I ordered a 1973 Rally Sport in January '73. It arrived in May. A long wait for an 18 yr. old. (I had no idea that the factory was on strike for Six Months the previous year and a thousand Camaros had been shit canned/scrapped). Medium Red like this one but with Rally wheels, and Red sport mirrors. I passed on the power brakes thinking I'd save hp. 350 2bbl with the Turbo-Hydromatic. Left it stock except for headers. A Bullet-proof drivetrain for 200,000 miles. Replaced the timing chain and one rocker. Year-round through 15 winters with sand bags and 'snows' at the rear.
My favourite year for the 2nd gen Camaro. I love WD, it's my favourite show. I enjoy it even more with Ant working the mechanics. I enjoyed Edd, and I would love to see him guest on the show from time to time. But Ant has made the show more enjoyable.
@@ford351cleveland when using a power tool to put on wheel nuts or any nuts for that matter, it is important to use a bar to finally tighten nuts to torque settings for particular specs.
GalenIRL Most of the work is done behind the scenes Mike and the other guys Edd and whoever are only the presenters they have the real mechanics behind the scenes,Ed didn’t put the engine in the Camaro the same as Mike didn’t complete the stripes,or put all the wheels on. I know for a fact because I worked on a wheeler dealers set.
Why are these videos suddenly so numerous on TH-cam now?? And why does it seem like this guy "Ant" and "Edd" are used interchangeably?? Who is the CURRENT WD Mechanic?
WD finally realised there is money to be made from having their own TH-cam channel. Edd is the old mechanic and was replaced by Ant a couple of years ago.
I just watched this episode on TV, then decided to come here to find it to have my say about the stripes, bloody shocking, not even equal to centre, all I can say Mike is:- never touch the cars coz you just make Edd's awesome work look shit in the final outcome, ps.... I stopped watching when Edd left, I don't mind re-runs with Edd, but i refuse to watch that other chump.
You can tell that Mike did the work on the stripes '"cos vey are orf cen'er" th-cam.com/video/TxVd1oAglU0/w-d-xo.html Gap on the right of the badge is larger than the gap on the left.
And that cheesy steering wheel... They murdered this beautiful original machine.. That 350 would have been amazing with some performance parts.. And that sloppy stripe kit.. Christ
Would have yielded a much greater profit with a 496 BBC. Would have cost around 2.5 grand more to do, but he could easily have charged 5-7 grand more. Like with the GTO, he really does not know this market and these cars. That little Blueprint 383 does not do much for the price of the car. What's even more odd is the fact that Blueprint sells a 490 hp version of that engine for 300 bucks more, and yet he chose that little 420 hp mill.
Will Avedikian sorry chap but you're wrong. He used the proper tool called a wheel nut torque socket. They come in different colors depending on the foot pounds you wish not to exceed
Anyone else noticed the stripes misalignment from the center badge? 🤣
I noticed that, its really annoying me now😂😂
So glad it's annoying someone else. I love what they did with the car tho

the decals actually look better than I expected but man make sure they are centered! if you look at the hood badge, the spacings are all off

He didn't treat the metal he exposed by drilling the holes, rust will probably start appearing after a few days of rain.
Yea I noticed that too. That will just go rusty and the whole lid will need replacing.

Ed has done that a few times as well. I assume/hope it’s fixed off camera
a show that I watch with great pleasure. success
I own this car and love it! Incredible handling.
You are very lucky
Is it for sale for $45k right now? Just saw it supposedly on Facebook for sale.
@@harleyleeps6696 yes, for sale
@@richmiller529 This one from the show, or a similar one?
@@webdigo this is the Camaro from the episode.
Stunning looking car!!!...Shame Mike completely messed up the stripes!!..was all I could see after it was finished 🧐
Man that's a beautiful car
The hood graphics aren’t equal distance from the centre badge. Fail.
Yep graphics look terrible. The front edges should be parallel with the grill edge.
@Arthur Valkan Not with the stripes that far off. OP is right, they are really way off. It looks terrible.
Saw that to, 700 bucks he could have saved.
So glad it wasn't just me ...I would be unable to rest until I fixed it

Should have added the Sport Mirrors. Not too expensive and they look great!
Great Muscle car 100% American!!
Great video, awesome upgrades.
Mike? Didn't Edd do all the performance work? Mike did just a few minor things.
Yep he wheels/graphics top job on the button ups big Mike.
I didn't know Mike had hand's too? Cool so he is a real car guy!!!!!

@@bobtis Does he? How so?
@@jasoncarpp7742 Also he has primarily moved the show to the US also. I liked it when it was in the UK
Edd does it again !
Hello from Sydney Australia
Nice job on the stripes. I enjoy your show. Nice day. St.lou
Where did the vinyl graphic stripes come from ?
Love all but the wheels / tires.
Beautiful car
Brewer with hand tools is like seeing a chicken with a hand grenade
Mike : I’ve been in the trade for 15 years mate
Me: that’s why you didn’t bar the wheels 🧐
Good day can you please explain what you mean by... BAR thr wheels
First time i am hearing of this

Next time use soapy water to install stickers
Nah that worked well with the old stuff this new stuff goes on a peace of piss.

Please wear your belts ....I love your videos.

Stripes mess up this beautiful Camaro
they aren't even fitted correctly - one is further from the centre than the other.....
Stripes make it faster
Mike doing hands on work looks so odd 😂😂

Guy has watched too much Overhaulin'...
The stripes haven't been done properly. The stripe on the left is further away from the badge than the stripe on the right.

That's the 70 spoiler on a 73 Camaro

Why wouldn't you put a 4sp auto in that car
Ditch the Incorrect mirrors
And that cheesy steering wheel... They murdered this beautiful original machine.. That 350 would have been amazing with some performance parts.. And that sloppy stripe kit.. Christ
i miss watching this show..i got bored when edd left the show...
easy iff gas cost are shitty low
I thought '73 had a one piece bumper. Hmmm
The z22 RS package included bumperettes on the 70-73 models. The non-RS models came with a full front bumper.
Good morning, how about Ed China?
Wow, never heard of a "Free-Eighty-Free" before. Must be new.
That's the not the correct spoiler on the rear for 73.
Lmao my 73 has them painted on not those cereal box stickers. Don't be so cheap Mike.

It hangs on the B pillar, just behind the driver or passenger.
