As much as I like the newer hosts, and the newer shows, Lou is still my fav by far
i mute when he's on, not so much the loudness but the over acting gets old fast
Low was awesome but, round mouth Rick came along and stole his job.
@@benhartland4708 Yes... Nobody talks like that! He punches every other word, it's like being yelled at.
@@jeffrogers2180 yeah it's annoying, make less of an effort to watch the show now
InstaBlaster.
I stopped watching power nation a long time ago, so glad they started putting the older stuff on TH-cam!
Thanks guy’s. Glad to have you aboard Rick. 👍🇺🇸🤙😃
They dug DEEP into the archives.
Oh yeah. And I appreciate it.
My parents had a 65 Lemans. it was red with a black roof. with a 326 and a 4- speed. went through a lot of mufflers. went straight pipe. Baby what a car. !!
I had a GTO same color for 50 years! i love every minute of it, Great running car!!!
What color is this ??
Finding a '66-7 LeMans is harder than finding a '66-7 Malibu. And those are pretty damn hard.
I wonder how many are running around as a GTO?
That's a classic clean ASS 67 Lemans kick ASS
That is gorgeous. Then again, I have always loved vinyl tops
Thank you for correcting the aspect ratio.
Beautifully designed machines with so much character!!!
I don't care how loud Lou's voice is; I can hear him just fine with my old ass ringing ears. Lol
He is load af... lol
Man I love this build, LOU RULES!
This was back in Power nation’s Prime back when they had Stacy David on Trucks.
I'm loving this series. Can't wait to see the final outcome
Love this guy Lou - hope to see more of him.
I just want a hug from this guy
When can I see the full restoration of '67 Pontiac LeMans on TH-cam I'm excited to watch it
Lou!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t know you were on muscle car. Not knocking the old crew because I love them both but I’m a huge fan of yours b/c we do the same thing for a living. met u at Carlisle PA and you were a blast real down to earth guy most car ppl are. This is probably late but congrats on the gig hope it last a long time!!!
love the color
Rick Bacon is awesome!!
Lou was the man
I’m loving this build. I’ll almost be disappointed when it’s complete. 😅
Whoever appraised this car at the end is nuts.
This was awesome except for the guy yelling at me the whole time
Excellent paint colours and job ))
Lou Santiago's last build. Car painted Santiago gold. Coincidence?
Only government regulation could make a 400 ci only produce >200 hp.
True. I like to look on the bright side; if Uncle Sam didn't put the regulations in place, engine R&D wouldn't have ramped into high gear and we would not have engines today producing more than 1hp per cube. We'd have the cheapest shit Detroit could make and market.
@@PrivateUsername We have had turbos and superchargers for decades. The Grand National and the Syclone showed what was possible. The technology is relativity the same. Fuel and oil are cleaner. But instead of introducing regulations slowly, they tried to chome out the auto industry. Look up "Jimmy Carter Sweater Fireplace" here to listen to the dumbest President we've ever had tell the American people we are about to run out of oil.
@@PrivateUsername We would also have engines with a decent number of cubic inches instead of the practice of using a small engine and then turbocharging it to get more horsepower at the expense of much higher maintenance costs.
@@1575murray Exactly mate
Im not a flame guy but damn those flames looked good
This two-tone paint reminds me of my old 67 Tempest. It was black over maroon.
Love the show. Want to start my own project on my f 150 pretty soon so trying to learn from you guys
Wow. What a car!Nothing wrong with a power glide. Lou is da man. That Can Am was a dog
To me, the first muscle car was the 1949 Oldsmobile Rocket 88.
lou is all good!
Man I dont care what yall say. Lou was awesome! Him and Jared were awesome. Sucks Jared dipped after the 1st season. Ricks cool tho
What the hell I never seen the finished 1967 Pontiac Lemans I’m working on one myself
looking awesome guys
Good stuff, this should be a fun follow!
That awkward moment you introduce your replacement
STOP YELLING AT ME!
😳waaaaaa...waaaaa...waaaaa...waaaaaa🤣😆 you're a big kid that's still living out his childhood.👍 I understand, I'm the same way. That's why the little ones that visit us love us so much because we still act like teenagers. Great project. I had a 66 gold goat with a ho 326 and a three speed stick. I miss that car.
Lou: "!NO, were not having a swap meet!"
Rims??????😎 Love everything...
Did they put Lou's mike on the other side of the garage? He sounds like he's shouting most of the time!
outstanding!!!
Nice paint.
This loud guy is best!!! :D
On a BUDGET!
Nice earring D-Canoe
The original guys are the best
To say that the '64 GTO was the first muscle car of the 60s is to ignore the '61 409
lol I knew this argument would pop up somewhere. Nowadays, there are a few cars before the GTO that fit the description of a muscle car; supercharged Studebakers, even the 1949 Oldsmobiles. But they were just considered fast cars. The GTO was the first car that started the muscle car movement. It sent every other manufacturer scrambling to make their own "GTO type" supercar. I've done some research on the origins of the phrase "muscle car." It didn't exist until the GTO was made.
@@originalpunkSxE 1964 was also the first year of the Chevelle and 442
@@davis7959 The 442 was created in direct response to the sales success of the GTO and offered a 330 cid engine. The Chevelle's top engine in 1964 was the 327. It was still the GTO that started the muscle car trend.
originalpunkSxE Yup, this argument has been had since the 80s.
It’s the goat
A 5,000 lb. car with a big motor is not a musclecar.
nice
6:00. Those flames 👍
i wonder what ever happened to the mustang that Lou was building while on muscle car? that thing was looking like a killer, but we never seen it finished
... and so ends Lou Santiago, and begins Rick Bacon as host.
I can never understand why they paint everything THEN check that things fit and cut huge holes to clearance in the freshly painted car.
It's possible that the vendor for the overdrive heard about the car after the work had been completed. Even though the build may be planned out, if a new vendor comes with money and a product, the plan can change.
Plans change and new parts become available that get Incorporated after the fact.
@@prestonlane6253 Prior video mentioned the 4spd but not the overdrive so perfectly credible. Glad to see the overdrive. Was previously expecting no less than 6 speeds...
An overdrive in a restomod should not be an afterthought. There is no way this was planned out especially after you just replaced the floors and undercoated the vehicle.
@@coache1nine this episode is over a decade old snd was the first big project like this Lou had ever taken on and it was his first time hosting a TV show, tons of after thought went into that build, TONS
Enjoyed
Why are you yelling at me? WHAT HAVE I DONE? 😂
❤❤❤
What are those green overhang/lights when he was blocking? Looked like something from Star Trek.
Most of the fancy body work like graphics is now done with body wraps. Goes to show how old this show is. Nobody on this show had smartphones and Lou is reading a paper magazine.
What is the actual code for the gold paint ???? It's great
Braap
Thank you for not putting a 5 or 6 speed in like everyone else does these days.
Too many gears...Give me A 4 speed any day ...Gotta love that gear whine too 😁
@@bilbobaggins4710 hell yea brother
Lou is awesome. What ever happened to him?
They need to make a Can Am clone kit...
This is why I liked watching "Captain" Lou Santiago: The word "Now" isn't in his vocab, so he doesn't use it every 10 seconds.
Hi, I want to paint my Camaro 81’ with your colors used on the Pontiac. Could you give me the paint codes?
Lew plays with his parts too?
How about a 5 speed or a 700R4?
If life gives you Lemons.... lol
I bought the sixty four ford galaxie and it had the split ram dual four manifold over a sweet 427 FE block. I happen to know it made well over two hundred, I can't remember his name but it ran in several daytona races. I don't remember how many they made but it was probably less than a thousand but it was over the five hundred minimum to make legal to run daytona. No body ever saw anything but tail lights on it in a race. I was racing on the street and it got taken from me and crushed and there was court cases that followed but me a kid, ha... no way jose do you fight city hall. I did sort win, a ticket paid to vietnam and wow was I ever lucky... kinda like a three legged dog lucky. So pontiac was not the first and nor were they the baddest. I gotta say the one in the paint shop tho sure makes me drool like dog over prime rib
Double Clutch
50yrs old Lou....50.... but then again the 80's were only 20yrs ago right? Opps......
Guess you didn't plan accordingly huh?
why could u use pedals fer a gto
Will this be for sale
At least this guy has Common sense not to make a fake gto
challenger srt makes it much cooler. If you look online you can hardly find just plain old Lemans that haven’t been converted to GTOs
@@SteveSmith-kd1dt I've been looking for a plain Jane '67 Tempest 4-door for years. I thought they'd be pretty reasonable, but the only one I ever saw for sale was pretty expensive (but totally cool).
Should had kept it Green!
Pontiac Lemons Super Sport

Can any link me to episode 1 of the build
Here is the first video of the build on our TH-cam channel:

Or you can see all the builds on our website:

@@PowerNationTV I'm enjoying the rebuild 👍
Show can't even get their facts right. GM does not let a Camaro z28 have more horsepower than a Corvette. Especially 1977
Yeah, Lou stop screaming!
parts are over 50 years old, not 40 youngster
Original paint color looks a lot better! Gold never looked good on any vehicle!
🏆❤️👍💯
excellent build, Lou is great. but I personally don't like gold paint on any car. I'm sure the quality of the paint job is top notch, but the color combination sucks. and that POS can-am is a hideous wallowing abomination, more likely to turn stomachs than heads. its a pity that all those cars from '73 on haven't been recycled. any true car guy would be embarrassed to ride in that pile of garbage.
I truly agree brother but for people that are on tight budget those cars can be great. Also don't forget the Ford and Chevy trucks of the 1970s as well.
That can am is one of the ugliest cars I’ve seen, looks like it was designed by Homer Simpson
I would rather have a Teslahk, teslia, tes, to hell with it. All electric and I wana puke!
Trust me, when this car hit the streets in '77, believe it, or not, It was Bad-Ass compared to everything else that Detroit was putting out at that time.
Indoor voice, dude. Indoor voice.
Never understood the need for Americans to shout on TV all the time, no way that's how they normally talk
Try turning down you volume or stop watching easy choices
@@SD70ACE- even with it turned down it is hard to listen to and for people with hearing problems it's hard to understand.
It's like a News reporter. That's not their normal voice ;)
That is so not “a budget build”!
holy crap the can-am was trash
Why does he have to shout all the time?
Ha
Why is he shouting all the time? I enjoyed this show without the shouting.
Try turning down you volume or stop watching easy choices
@@SD70ACE- I've been watching this show for a long time, the guy is just a loudmouth American, like those people trying to sell you things on TV. Annoying
Loud noises! Why are we yelling?
@8second streetcar he's not selling anything so it's pointless shouting
why are u yelling?
Beautiful color combo. Lot of work. I'm not sure which I hate worse....electrical or body work. Damn, Lou's got an irritating voice....why not just speak naturally? Has all the tonal qualities of my mother-in-law giving me hell. Maybe I just have PMS? Gear Vendors stuff is so nice. Oh yeah, did I mention Lou's shouting is damn irritating? I ended up putting closed captioning on and shutting down the voice.....he's ruining a good show.
That's Big Lou to you 😠
@@bilbobaggins4710 Nah....Fat Lou....
Dude, let go of the exaggerated speech, please!
why is he yelling !!!!
That Can-Am is absolutely ugly af
