I've used that rust treatment before when I was a deckhand on the Mississippi River. When "paint season" rolled around we would strip the old paint to bare metal and put that stuff on the steel. It turned purple just like yours did. We would follow that up with primer then paint. Seemed to work pretty well.
I love how you just sound like a buddy talking to us and walking us through the steps of the project. So easy to learn and understand what you’re doing. Thank you.
Man Kevin, can’t you just Chip Foose this thing and be done in two episodes!🤣 Just kidding I put floors can corners on my 55 3100 Chevy and wow it is a lot of work! I think the average person doesn’t realize how much work and time it takes to restore a vehicle. Need lots of patience. Love watching your channel, can’t wait to see the Camaro finished. Next episode right!😂
I had a set of safety glasses made by the optician that are strictly the reading section of my regular glasses. I use them when I am doing close in work.
Hi Kevin, Mark from Citrus County FL here. I love your attention to detail as well as your ability to communicate. You have the gift! As a hobby, I've restored 29 vehicles to various degrees over 40 years. Learned so much every time. A few of the cars became "happier" as I went and they "appreciated" being worked on. Yes, some cars had personality. Loved your comment in this regard to this Camaro. So true. Most time I ever spent on a car was 2500 hours! I know you understand. I'm a huge fan and appreciate what you do. Just wanted to give you the "pat on the back" you deserve. Can't wait to see where this all ends up. Keep up the good work sir!
Thanks Mark!!! Everyone appreciates a pat on the back once in awhile.😊. I like to think these cars have personalities... It makes me like them a little more, even when I don't. 2500, that's a lot of love!!! I'm sure it was stunning!!! Thanks for watching.
I worked on vintage aircraft for a few decades. Removing corrosion in difficult to reach areas was NOT EASY, but it got done. This is why I really appreciate your attention to detail.
another excellent DETAILED lesson - your instruction is first rate, and so is your camera operator. Nobody ever gives him credit for the outstanding work - exceptionally smooth and steady and instinctively knows when to change angles or zoom in. The effect is a MUCH BETTER PRODUCTION than the guys using tripods (and faster for you without having to move cameras or edit multiples). Thank you for the hard work and great humor.
I have to agree with you... excellent production quality. But I kind of expect that from a man who has been in front of the camera for so long, lol. Kevin is one of the best at keeping a dialog going with his audience. It really makes for an intimate video experience.
Kevin, watching your channel has really helped me with my 66 chevelle. I have never done any kind of sheet metal work before and i just wanted to replace a floor and that turned into replacing inner kick panels, reinforcement plates, outter rocker, toe boards, full floor. Now comes the trunk floor, inner wheel house. Thank you for being thorough you go over the details that most don't mention and thats huge for this rookie!
I’m with you on cleaning up the inside of the frame rail and treating it. You’ve it apart why not treat it. I use the Eastwood round wire brushes with drill to get as much of the rust off.
A few times, it sounded like you channeled your inner Bob Ross, a little metal here, a happy weld there. As the owner of a 1976 Transam, I have owned since 1978, seeing this restoration is amazing. I am glad my car has zero rust, no damage, and has never been in snow. I have been basically a garage queen for 45 years.
You've got a rare bird!!! I've been told that about Bob Ross before... interesting. I'll take that as a kindness...I really like Bob Ross. Thanks for watching!
Saying thank you is not enough, but Thank You! Thank you for taking the time to really show us how to do this type of work. I really hope you are rewarded 10 time over for what you bring to everyone!
Thanks so much for these videos. So very helpful! I've watched these several times and taken notes because I'm currently replacing the rotted-out trunk floor, rear crossrail, tail panel, RH rear lower quarter panel and RH trunk drop-down on my '81 Trans Am. I'm basically doing everything you're doing right down to drilling the plug-weld holes in the same places. '81 Firebird panels are shaped a little differently, but it's all basically the same surgery. Mine is less complicated because I'm not changing to an earlier model tail panel or trunk floor. This is my first time replacing a rotted trunk and I could not have afforded to pay a shop for all these man-hours of cutting, test-fitting, and welding. I've already patched the rust holes in my floor. Would have been easier on a rotisserie, but I don't have one or the garage space for one. After this trunk surgery, most of my rust damage will have been repaired and I can start prepping it for paint. Thanks again and keep 'em coming! Highly valuable GM 2nd Gen F body information here.
I'm a carpenter for most of 45 years. If my Dewalt saw, framing hammer, 2x4s and nails can't fix it I let someone else do it. Now I'm going to. I am glad I have a love / hate relationship with you and VGG. Inspired.
Another excellent video Kevin. The difference between your videos and others is your communication. You continue to teach as a friend with ease and some (will call imperfections) but that's what makes it genuine!!! Any average person watching your videos will continue to learn and getvthe job the done. Camera man needs some recognition as well!!! Top notch. HOOTS😊
Hey Kevin, On shows like Overhaulin, This whole process only took a week. What's the hold up man ?? just hire 40 auto techs and have lot's of commercials.. Just kiddin ya Kev. That's alot of work Brother.
I love that you are doing such huge repairs with basic tools. I grew up restoring cars like this and have since moved to Germany where NOBODY believes my "Onyx Black" 57 210 Chevy was done by me here in the garage with a $150 Devilbiss gun fed by a $250 2hp compressor. As you say, it's just chemistry, and the preperation is 90% of the paint job (and for me colour-sanding and Trizacting the last ten percent). Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and courage to just try something with us!
I love that you don’t cut corners. As much as it pains we to move slowly, whenever I work on a project I try to “overdo” it. Mostly so nobody can disparage my work but also as a source of pride.
This has been a great learning experience for me I'm currently restoring my first car my 66 Chevelle and after watching these episodes I think I have a much better opportunity to get it right after this series thank you for your expertise and ability to explain it to us in a relatable way. Love the channel and looking forward to the day this baby is doing donuts in the parking lot. Lost of work but that is important for a exceptional outcome. Thanks again!
I’m so glad I have a professional blasting machine, I’ve been following this build and I’m building my frame jig now to mount my 78 on and there’s no way I’m going to start it without blasting it several times over throughout the process. It makes it way easier to see all the spot welds and more thorough cleaning out the tight crevasses. Awesome job man 💯👌
In a little jealous.... I know media blast is best, and I may be doing it backwards. After I build back some strength and get the new metal in place I'll blast the rest and get down to good metal at the bottom. I'll eventually get to the same place.... (Fingers crossed!!! ) Thanks for watching!
@@paintucation you’re not doing it backwards, you’re doing it in a way that the average guy can relate with, you’re not flexing your reputation and you give confidence in others to just do it, That’s what makes this so good!!! Keep up the great work I support it with a subscription. I know it’s not much I’m sorry
I’ve been watching every episode of this build carefully and I’m sure I’ll be going back and watching them again. Thank you for the knowledge you hand down Kevin. I also have a 2nd gen Camaro I’ve been learning a lot mine is a 78 that needs quarter skins and a tailight panel
Kevin, Seriously enjoying your restoration of this car. I love your sense of sarcastic humor, it reminds me of me a bit. Blaming that sheet metal "oops cut" on someone else is classic. In our household we blame that on Steve. Steve was the invisible friend of our daughter and she left him forgotten as she grew up. We have adopted Steve to take blame for all those little "oop-es" that happen in life.
nice trick on that spotweld cutter predrill. Also- low speed/low pressure but you're putting the 200# gorilla on that drill. 😆 Keep up the vids, doing great and good to see a lot of you guys from the Sat/Sunday TV shows making your way over.
That Camaro is gonna look so good after your through with it, and I’m glad you have a TH-cam channel cause I’ve always enjoyed the work you do and the final outcome 👍
I love what you're doing. You do the stuff a lot of people avoid, and it is great entertainment. I have one suggestion that might get you more subs if you're interested. There is a reason why ASMR and reels are popular. People like to get to the good stuff quickly. Slightly less explaining might still be effective in teaching if you consider that a lot of stuff is self-explanatory. This is not meant to be critical, just helpful. Thank you for the great entertainment
Great job on protecting those frame rails. Glad you got a good paint shaker. Go watch Puddin' for some great hints on technique. Lol Keep on keepin' on
Hey Kevin, love your videos! I also know you are really awesome about returning comments and the right guy to ask this question. I recently opened up a project doing the floors, supports and complete rocker panel assembly on my 78 K20 - I know somewhat off topic but I saw you have videos on LMC truck where I am getting all my metal and was just hoping you might oblige. I'm having difficulty figuring out the assembly of the inner and outer rockers on this truck. Do you have any videos or suggestions of a good and thorough video? There isn't much left of the old girl and the parts I'm trying to replace no longer exist on the truck making it rather challenging. Thank you!
Kevin been watching you for many many years. Love you buddy I even remember you used to be in a band. I have a hard time with that angle grinder and why everyone loves it so much 6000 RPMs is just overkill in my opinion just trying to keep you safe buddy.
Keep the videos coming Kevin!! That rust converter/reformer you’re using I’ve used the similar stuff from Rustoleum for years and it works fantastic!!! The day job deals with products that are highly corrosive to metal and that reformer slows it down tremendously and stops it dead in some cases!! Good call out man!!
Check the manufacturer’s instructions, but you should be able to put a squeeze spray/spritzer head directly onto the the rust converter bottle for easier application and less clean up. Just shake and spray from that point forward. Eliminating that need for cup cleaning after completing the application and no wasted rust converter as a bonus. Just a thought and a possible way to reduce cost with consumables! Love your channel BTW!! Thanks
@paintucation Kevin, while you have the trunk floor out, you should get spray all of the inside of the frame rails. Eastwood makes a rust encapsulation spray kit for the inside of the frame rails. it has a plastic hose to allow you to spray way down deep into the rails. better to get it all now and leave any behind to fester.
Nice build, lot of detail on your inner prep with the chemicals, treating the rust areas. You do a lot of test fits, makes for a straight project at end; learning a lot.
Gempler's baby! I put that stuff on everything! I first started using it on iron civil war relics i would dig up to preserve it then thought, "hey, this would probably work on automotive applications" so i've used it on my 68 mustang build. I swear by it!
@@paintucation I think watching someone tackle it and get to a result is very inspiring and enabling. Thanks for the time you put into these, it must be frustrating to stop and then start again to tell us what you just did, or are about to do. It's refreshing though to see someone with attention to detail and a desire for a superior result show us how to go about it.
Lol the brush on a stick... we've used similar thing laying up bigger hulls. Except we would use old broken roller poles to get distance on it. It's how we got into the bow and the corners of the transum from about 50 is inches away ( width of the rolls of cloth we laminated to the boat). Tried and true method
Great episode Kevin. When you get miffed, take a smoke break. It doesn't have to be a leafy vegetation smoke, but just step back and let the smoke out of your ears. Just picture that next time and laugh it off. Please talk more about and show the cavity wax application as I still have to do that part on my 32. Have a good one!
You are a true craftsman!!!! I am pretty sure you hate that car but not for much longer. It is looking really good!!! And the best part about it is when you’re all done you’re gonna beat on it and do donuts with it!!!!
The main ingredient in all those "rust removers" is just phosphoric acid. You can buy it in concentrated pure liquid form then just dilute it with water and spray it on with a spray bottle. That way it gets in every crack a cranny. Also, I joked about mini tubs before. Thank you for talking about that and the super neat tip about the seat belt pocket!
Bodywork = being Patient - You either have it or you are one. I am ok with mechanical but can't handle what you do. I would go crazy and be one. Going to go have a toddy now to salute you!! Enjoy watching!!!! 👍👍
Kevin, from a long-time Sheetmetal worker, get you a set of quick release magnetic nut setters from Hobo Freight to hold those tek screws as to put them in! No more holding the screws in the chucks to start them! It’ll change your life!😁
I remember when Derick was rescuing this. He said it was probably beyond saving. Leave it to Kevin to take this on! So glad you did so we could all see just how much work has to go into a project like this!
take a piece of #12 house ground wire . tape a ball rag to the end . dip in your rust killer and shove it WAY up in there . dip it more than once and re run it
This build has put a spotlight on just how much work goes into doing a job like this. I’ve known guys that have bought projects thinking they would just throw some aftermarket body panels on and they would be ready to go. I think the days of finding projects that are easy restorations are long gone. The projects that a lot of guys would avoid are what’s left.
Woooow what a good morning Some strong black coffee and a new paintucation video 👌🏻 mint AND A NEW SAYING!! "The Webbernet"😂 Should get a chuckle from the lads at work.
That car is going to be built so much better than it was from the factory. I would love to have one built with your attention to detail and dedication to perfectionism, I just dont think I could afford the amount of man hours you will be putting into this thing. Anyway Nice work and can't wait for the next episode.
More down the rabbit hole!!!! I think I had that floor in and out 20 times..... good core workout!!! Thanks for watching!
did you think about chemical dipping it at the start?
ECoat should be stripped, the parts lay around for who knows how long before they are coated..flashrust is not there concern..
I've used that rust treatment before when I was a deckhand on the Mississippi River. When "paint season" rolled around we would strip the old paint to bare metal and put that stuff on the steel. It turned purple just like yours did. We would follow that up with primer then paint. Seemed to work pretty well.
I see the rabbit holes which you speak of on the frame rails, the rust converter will make some nice clean tunnels for the bunny's to back out from.
Hi Kevin what are you doing about rust proofing inside the chassis rails? Or is it not a problem?
I love how you just sound like a buddy talking to us and walking us through the steps of the project. So easy to learn and understand what you’re doing. Thank you.
Thanks!! That's a nice thing to say! I never want to talk down to anybody... Rather talk "To" ya!
Great instructional video, Kevin! Look forward to each episode, and like to wait until I can absorb it all.
Man Kevin, can’t you just Chip Foose this thing and be done in two episodes!🤣 Just kidding I put floors can corners on my 55 3100 Chevy and wow it is a lot of work!

More of Kevin building a new 70's Camaro with a few rusty old parts. But mostly new. Keep up the good work, sir. I look forward to these videos!
Yup! It's a process.😊
I do too. This is so much fun to watch. It would be nice to see this one weekly till it is done.
I had a set of safety glasses made by the optician that are strictly the reading section of my regular glasses. I use them when I am doing close in work.

He's saying, "If I can do it, you can do it" nobody said it was easy, but with the right tools, resources, and a little knowhow anyone can do it
Kevin I remember watching you back in early 2000 it's nice that you're being yourself and letting average guys know that we can do it

When I first saw this car, I never imagined this😂 Today we learned why it costs so much money to get your rusted car fixed right.
The beginning of this video had me rolling, I had it on full volume and my wife thought I ripped ass she was so grossed out.😂😂😂
“Bones are good” what bones? That Derick dude was smoking crack. There is nothing left of the bones!
Kevin, I appreciate your careful work and clear explanation. Regards, Stephen.
I love wht you do for people educating. In process an unforseen problems along the way. 100% straight up .plz keep up the work you do
I love this series. Please keep these episodes coming I love your work.
You bet!!! Go one episode back and you should see the rust conversion
I see, looks like I was a bit premature. Thank you@@paintucation

@@paintucation I think watching someone tackle it and get to a result is very inspiring and enabling. Thanks for the time you put into these, it must be frustrating to stop and then start again to tell us what you just did, or are about to do. It's refreshing though to see someone with attention to detail and a desire for a superior result show us how to go about it.
Lol the brush on a stick... we've used similar thing laying up bigger hulls. Except we would use old broken roller poles to get distance on it. It's how we got into the bow and the corners of the transum from about 50 is inches away ( width of the rolls of cloth we laminated to the boat). Tried and true method
always great until you lose the brush way up inside the frame rail
Great episode Kevin.
When you get miffed, take a smoke break. It doesn't have to be a leafy vegetation smoke, but just step back and let the smoke out of your ears. Just picture that next time and laugh it off.
Please talk more about and show the cavity wax application as I still have to do that part on my 32.
Have a good one!
Will do!!! Thanks man.
Yes,my favorite car,channel, and educater, all in one
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Really enjoying the Camaro series. Also the channel is awesome. Love the format.
Thanks, I'm having fun with it, glad you're watching!
Love to see you kept the grinder guard on. All the other channels take it off and it freaks me out.
Looking great, thanks for sharing!
Good content... enjoying the build..and the tips... looking forward to seeing more...thanks...🔧🔧👍
Love your channel man! Thanks for the great content!
Glad you enjoy it!
You are a true craftsman!!!! I am pretty sure you hate that car but not for much longer. It is looking really good!!! And the best part about it is when you’re all done you’re gonna beat on it and do donuts with it!!!!
GJ on the humor. Sarcasm?

Working on the Camaro Playlist!!! Thanks for suggesting
The main ingredient in all those "rust removers" is just phosphoric acid. You can buy it in concentrated pure liquid form then just dilute it with water and spray it on with a spray bottle. That way it gets in every crack a cranny. Also, I joked about mini tubs before. Thank you for talking about that and the super neat tip about the seat belt pocket!
Bodywork = being Patient - You either have it or you are one. I am ok with mechanical but can't handle what you do. I would go crazy and be one. Going to go have a toddy now to salute you!! Enjoy watching!!!! 👍👍
the problem is you can't do bodywork commercially because it has to be slapdash fast to make any $$$
Another great episode! Can’t wait to see this come together!
So much work but you will be happy with results!
I already am!! 😄
Thanks for the video.
Kevin, from a long-time Sheetmetal worker, get you a set of quick release magnetic nut setters from Hobo Freight to hold those tek screws as to put them in! No more holding the screws in the chucks to start them! It’ll change your life!😁
I remember when Derick was rescuing this. He said it was probably beyond saving. Leave it to Kevin to take this on! So glad you did so we could all see just how much work has to go into a project like this!
To be fair he's only saving about half of it
Derek's style of restoration is quite a bit less thorough
I'm glad you did the right thing and clean and sealed the frame rails
Soo many innuendos 🤣. Must be a Kevin thing. 😅. Love the videos. Gives me inspiration to get back working on my 71 Camaro
@27.53 someone needs a snickers. Great series.
Great job, Kevin!!!
Really enjoy these videos and especially the detail you provide
Learning a lot from you but I have to say I fast forward because I know how to vacuum 😊
take a piece of #12 house ground wire . tape a ball rag to the end . dip in your rust killer and shove it WAY up in there . dip it more than once and re run it
This build has put a spotlight on just how much work goes into doing a job like this. I’ve known guys that have bought projects thinking they would just throw some aftermarket body panels on and they would be ready to go. I think the days of finding projects that are easy restorations are long gone. The projects that a lot of guys would avoid are what’s left.
The whole car restoration hobby is nearly at an end. Modern electronics will not be fixable and these older cars will be all gone.
Woooow what a good morning
Some strong black coffee and a new paintucation video
👌🏻 mint
AND A NEW SAYING!!
"The Webbernet"😂
Should get a chuckle from the lads at work.
I like the Saturday morning video release. Thanks!
Love this series. Keep it up!
Really informative videos…Keep them coming.
That car is going to be built so much better than it was from the factory. I would love to have one built with your attention to detail and dedication to perfectionism, I just dont think I could afford the amount of man hours you will be putting into this thing. Anyway Nice work and can't wait for the next episode.
This is really fun to watch this series.
I learn things every time I watch this program
