Don't get me wrong, I love the OG Demo and guns and all that stuff. But i think with all these series and cool behind the scenes Matt stuff, I am fallin in love with OffTheRance more and more
I switched to mostly OffTheRanch I think 4-5 years ago. Actually from time to time I skip a DemoRanch, but I can honestly say, I have seen every OffTheRanch-Video in the last 6 years!
My first car maintenance lesson with my Dad on his car was tyre pressure check every Saturday morning, I didn't inherit the car but the top pocket pressure gauge put's a smile on my face every time I use it. Love you Dad, forever in my memories. RIP
Matt your dad is awesome and he deserves every bit of that surprise! He always watches and comments on my videos when I’m fixing my dads 67 Camaro or fixing C2 vettes. I feel like he’s part of the family! I can’t wait to see you two cruising around in that car. That’s going to be an awesome video.
I think this series is the heart of almost every man out there. Cars, fishing, camping, hunting, traveling... no matter the scenario we have all had a dream like this and are all well vested in this one, my friend. Can't wait to see the rest!!!! Thank you for sharing with us yet again!
The way that you talk about your relationship with your dad tells me everything that I need to know about your character. Not that I doubted before, but great story, Matt. And what an absolutely fitting tribute to your pops. He gets the smile and you get the keepsake. I lost my dad to cancer back in 2019. I was 45, so was lucky to have known him into adulthood. But stuff like this just hits. In a good way. Nice work, young fella.
Matt ,this build is going to give me flashbacks of when I was in high school. My good friend Dan had that same 68 396 ss I had the 67 ss 350 boy was that a great time in my life. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS STORY/BUILD.
@@JaredLetoSelfSuck Wow……I’ve seen and heard these or similar words many many times, but DAMN if yours didn’t just resonate in my soul. Thank you, sir for taking the time to do a total stranger a solid……it worked! 😢🥃
Thank You Matt! So excited for the series here - so much more so for the reveal to Dr. Lee. I Loved his story regarding the car and yours when you took it back. . . Remembering both of you talking about the history - your histories - with the car and guarded conversations about its future.
Probably the iconic Camaro ever made , I would try n put it back to as close to original as possible, 396 was the top of the food chain as far a GM back in the day
love it Matt, looking forward to you sharing the restoration process. Glad you and your Dad enjoy your time and hobbies together. My Dad is 94, he's my best bud. Love the abandoned ranch videos too!
This is my favorite car. Thank you for getting off your duff and doing something with it. Bless you. Cars are not made to just look at. If I lived closer I would come help.
That is awesome! I can't wait to see Dr. Lee's reaction. What an awesome thing to have father/son memories with. Maybe one day you can pass it to Lincoln. That would be cool.
@@dalereed2626 he hasn't posted anything in over 8 months...as I've said, he has a job and business to run. Matt basically forced him into making a channel when he probably has other priorities. Matt got lucky with youtube, has the staff to do the stuff he can't, not everyone else can do that.
A ‘68’ big block Camaro has always been my dream car. I’m sooo looking forward to this build. Your dad will be ecstatic when he finds out what it happening. Happy dad, happy life. Or something like that. 🙂
This brought memories of when my dad got me,3 sisters and 2 brothers together and got us out in the big garage were he showed us and let us take apart the engine to his race car. I learnt so much. I still can replace starters, spark plugs, break an engine down,replace a transmission, front end, etc and its always such a blessing and memories so get it done and no matter what you and your dad will always have a close bond. Its going to rock once it all gets completed. Really am excited watching this video and all the other ones
Joy is truly contagious. Im watching and I feel Im sure the same way you feel. Kid in a toy shop. Nice when everything uve been waiting for finally comes together. Cant wait to see how it turns out.
My older sister has the same car. Her's was yellow. I loved being in that car with her. She was murdered when I was 11 and to this day, 30+ years later. I don't know what her husband ever did with it😢 this video brought back some good memories! 💛
68s have been my favorite car of all time. My dad had a 67 and I loved that. There’s a 68 sitting in a field about a mile from my house that I’m wanting to snatch up to restore. Excited for this series
Hi . What a wonderful surprise for Dr. Lee ! Matt you are a sweet , generous kind hearted guy ! Hilarious too ! We can all hardly wait for the big reveal ! Take care and have fun on your adventures !! Deborah 🇨🇦
This is why it is SO important to be meticulous in cataloging and categorizing parts and fasteners when taking things apart. Label and mark things as you take them apart
Way to go, Matt! I'm excited as heck about this and can't wait for the final result. Love The Camaro! In 1974 I bought a used '67 Camaro RS (with the hideaway headlights). Had the car for 5 years but, unfortunately, had to sell it. Gee, I loved that car! Good luck with the SS! Your Dad will be thrilled!
Man it's wild I get more excited about off the ranch videos these days. It's not that I don't still love demolitionranch, it's just the content on this channel has gotten really good over the years
That’s awesome! It’s amazing how a car can be so important and almost be a family member. I have my grandparents 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V, my aunt has my grandfathers 1968 Corvette Convertible and my great uncle had a 1970 DeTomaso Mangusta that unfortunately was sold off a few years after my great uncle passed. I always wished I could have gotten that Mangusta because my great uncle was basically what I wanted to be when I grew up and just seeing that car brought back so many great memories from when he was around.
sweet idea i cant wait for your dads reaction i wish i could do that with my dad. he gave me his 66 chevy c10 but it need so much i need years and years to finish i just wish i had your resources.....like the guys at muscle rod shop. really excited to see how this build turns out.
Awesome project and super cool that your dad is still around to see it come alive. I had a 72 Mustang that sat in my garage partially worked on and then got sick of looking at it after 2 decades and sold it in about 2 days.
Love the program brother, that is a great story! This has the makings of a father son maybe grandpa build. Think how awesome it would be to turn the wrenches with Lincoln! Do it , just do it! I have a 2005 GMC Sierra crew cab SLT Duramax diesel and I love working on it with my sixteen year old grandson. I look forward to working on it with him like a kid waiting for Christmas. We lost his older brother last year three days before Christmas and I have really realized how important every single heartbeat is and I have been working on keeping everything straight you know in perspective…anyway, peace out!
I’m glad you decided to go this route with the Camaro keeping it semi original (for now). Whether or not he actually shows it I think your dad will be very happy! Excited to see it come back to life!
Iv had my z28 camaro since I graduated in 2011. It’s been on jack stands since 2014 😢 I did the same thing you guys did. Fixed and replaced everything, forged stroker engine, t56, 12 bolt moser, and a full bmr suspension. It should be running in a few weeks and I couldn’t be more excited! Iv probably sank 30 grand into the car over the years 😂🫡
Very cool to see the Camaro getting worked on. I was SO happy to find out it was getting a BBC and not an LS. Can't wait to follow along and see it completed.
@@chuckdoom7665 A big block LS engine, do tell. I won't claim to be an expert on LS engines but I've been building and racing Chevy's for 35 years and I've not heard of any LS big blocks unless you are referring to the Vortec 8.1 engines.
@@1320quick check out the LS502. They've brought the old school big blocks into the 21st century. Also they stroked a small block and called it the LSX454.
Just clicked on and can already tell I’m gonna dig it. From my birth till age 7 dad had a 68 RS/SS 396 4 speed car that was used as his drag car. When I was 19 my first wife took one off my paychecks to go buy a 68 RS 4 speed big block car I had been looking at for a few weeks. Still have that car along with a tube chassied carbon fiber bodied 68 with a 636” big block. Both of mine along with dads are the same color that yours was before you painted it. Looking forward to seeing you getting yours streetable again.
Congrats Matt. It’s cool to get a car going after so many years sitting. I’ve get a similar situation. My dad gave me his 79 corvette that’s been sitting for 25 + years cause he had no time to fix some issues.
Matt, Ive got a 1967 Camero with a 327 powerglide transmission on the collumn. Rebuilt the motor and restored it however Ive got to restore the outside of it. The quarter panels etc. When my dad and I were done and the Camero was painted thats when my dad was excited he almost jumped into my arms he was awesome but passed away from stage 4 lung Cancer and now I have to fix up the outside again and have it repainted. I cant wait to get it all fixed up again it was my mom's first car. Have a great and safe day
Don't get me wrong, I love the OG Demo and guns and all that stuff. But i think with all these series and cool behind the scenes Matt stuff, I am fallin in love with OffTheRance more and more
Same here
yeah I am not sure when it happened but at some point over the past year this has become the main channel to me.
I switched to mostly OffTheRanch I think 4-5 years ago. Actually from time to time I skip a DemoRanch, but I can honestly say, I have seen every OffTheRanch-Video in the last 6 years!
So what’s the problem? Two of my favorite channels are Matthew’s channels, and I’m 100% ok with it.
Same here!
20 years from now we are going to be watching Matt's kids tell a story about a Camaro in pieces they got stuck with.
I just thought that car gonna be perfect for Matt's son.
😂
legend has it Brandon will STILL be working on it.
@@itsneight1260 but Brandon is chopping it and widening it, Matt forgot to tell him, "this is just a restoration", LOL
LOL!
My first car maintenance lesson with my Dad on his car was tyre pressure check every Saturday morning, I didn't inherit the car but the top pocket pressure gauge put's a smile on my face every time I use it.
Love you Dad, forever in my memories. RIP
Matt has started a lot of side quest but I respect it
😂
Matt is a total The Witcher 3 character
What a relief!! Haven't heard from Brandon in a while, was starting to get worried. You guys always seem like best friends together. Nice to see.
Poor Brandon, he's so busy he can't make videos anymore, good luck buddy 😅
Matt working on my dream car. Amazing.
Deserves all the love, DO NOT SELL IT! Keep it in the family Matt.

Mine’s very similar…..69 Camaro SS and a Colt Python!!!
I have them both….but no longer have my Dad. 😔

Lets go Matt. I hope your dad had the biggest grin when he saw this. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!
I'm glad to hear Brandon is still alive... We haven't had any youtube from him for months!!! You should work on that car with Lincoln, Matt. 😉👍
Brandon is the Guy that never lets anyone down and is just being a good friend...everyone needs a Brandon. He deserves half of the world

matt needs a project manager because of all the things he does
It's Jenna - Chaos Coordinator!
I was thinking the very same time... He won't have one publicly named, as it prevents him from making content for us to watch.
@@bryanduchane2371 Jenna is his PA / PM
That's what Mere is for, lol. I'm just not sure if she knows it.
Don't tell Mere

It's got to be so awesome to get boxes from companies all the time, it's gotta be like Christmas all year long.
That is awesome! I can't wait to see Dr. Lee's reaction. What an awesome thing to have father/son memories with. Maybe one day you can pass it to Lincoln. That would be cool.
I can't wait to see what Brandon does to the car . His work is AWESOME . Is this why we haven't seen much of him ????
Because he's an adult and has a job and business to run. He can't just run off and play like a TH-camr can...

renovation ranch it's cool, but I missed this kind of videos so bad!!
Matt's love of restoring things started when he was young. From animals to cars to an abandoned mansion to an abandoned resort.
this man is renovating more things than i can keep track of. Thanks again Matt!
Nice to see it getting a big block again,nothing sounds better than a cammed big block.

This is gonna be awesome for your dad and you special moment in time.
Awesome surprise for your pops. Happy for you guys. Love your channels. 👍🏻
Just so you know, in my opinion, if it's for your dad, you can't make a video that is “too long”. 4 to 6 hours? No problem; bring it!
I’m ready for part 2 already… been excited for this since I seen him pick it up from his pops

Thank you for putting a big block back in the Camaro!! It's sacrilegious to put a small block into something that originally came with a big block.
I love this! All the love for this project!
The content I life for Matt. Great stuff. Beautiful piece of Chevy greatness
I'm excited about this one. Matt idk how you do it but most of the you tube content I watch is something of yours
I’ve never been this early. Love your content Matt. It’s what dreams are made of.
YESS!! Been waiting for this build
Congrats Matt. It’s cool to get a car going after so many years sitting. I’ve get a similar situation. My dad gave me his 79 corvette that’s been sitting for 25 + years cause he had no time to fix some issues.
“But they’re hard to put back together.”
Man I felt that 😂
That’s awesome and I’m super excited to see how happy he is.
Yay I thought this one was gonna be a while till it started. Gonna be a treat when she's done
Respect for being nostalgic and holding onto a piece of your childhood with your dad, priceless
I've been anticipating this since the day your dad posted a video about this car. I'm PUMPED to see this come together!
