I for one think this is an awesome project. These guys have mass skills and are putting them to great use here. Not all 72 Camaros are so rare that they need to have a nut and bolt restoration to original specification. Looking forward to following this project.
Ouch. That's a $15K Camaro where I live, and a great driver, even with the roof rust. My best friend in high school had an RS 350 just like it (35 yrs ago) and it was in worse shape when he bought it. We pulled the vinyl top, fixed the rust, and repainted it from green to black. It was a sweet ride.
@@CanadaBud23 No because your tearing a RARE car that was more than worth saving, I'm not one who's all about the money but that 15k car would be worth a 100k or more if it was done back original.
I hate to be that guy, but you could have used a later model 2nd gen for this build. You could have built the same car out of a ‘74-‘77 and gotten no complaints about chopping up a rare Camaro. You wouldn’t cut up a ‘70s Cuda right??
Depends on what condition the 70's Cuda was in when I bought it..... I mean if it was shell or a roller it would never be "Numbers Matching" anyway so I would build it how I wanted. This car however was BEGGING to be restored original.
that car was in good condition considering how old it was. i would have rather seen you take some rust bucket and turn it into a race car rather than take this good car and ruin it.
I had a 1972 Camaro with the split bumper. It spent most of it's life as a dedicated drag racer, so it stayed in a garage when not in use and the body was the most solid I've ever seen in a second generation Camaro.
Absolutely! A base model would have been the same body and everything else. If they like the style of the "Ralley Sport" split bumpers and the nose extension, it's all available in the aftermarket industry. It's a shame that they did this because these "Ralley Sport" cars from 1970½ to 73 are becoming rare. A friend of mine has a 1973 RS LT Z/28 with a 4 speed and a/c with the factory dark blue metallic paint with black stripes, 100 percent original. The only thing that he did to the car when he bought it, new, was put on a set of Gabriel air shocks and a new set of Cragar S/S wheels. 6" wide up front and 10" wide on the rear. He never liked the look of the 10 bolt posi rear axle and believe me, he tried forever to blow it up so he could replace it with a 12 bolt! Fun, fun dude, that's for sure. Ok, enough from me. Take care and have a good one, 🚔 and watch your mirrors, ha!
@E Zacher , yup, I believe that it is a '72. The 70½ had a tiny short rear spoiler. The tall rear spoilers were 71 through 81. Then the 3rd generation Camaro started
Those mid-late 70's "Ugly" cars are becoming the hot new build out here in the Southwest/West because they are the only muscle/performance cars left that a guy can still tinker around with and build in his garage at home with thousands of dollars worth of tolls and speciality electronics tools besides there's some things you can do yo pretty them up like tucking the bumpers, adding hood scoops and stuff like that. For the price of 72 Chevelle, 70 Mustang or 69 Camaro roller you can buy a 74 Chevelle, 73 Mustang or 76 Camaro that runs and drives and after you get some new parts and a paint job you've spent just as much. Last January I bought a 73 Buick Regal for $1200 and after airing up the tires that had just went down from sitting and putting some fresh gas in it I drove it 50 miles home and after putting another $3500 I now a very good daily driver/ legit cruise-in/Cars and Coffee quality car.
Yeah, this Camaro was probably nice enough you guys should have restored it and found a lamer one to turn into a race car. Oh well. I think I’d have done a ‘65 or ‘66 Mustang, because millions of them.
Man, another Camaro. In all the years, Powernation has NEVER done a Cougar! 😢😢😢. The first gens should have won the Trans Am series in 67. They did well in baby Grand National series. They had success at the drags too. I've got 68 xr7 that I'll make you a deal on to get a Cougar on one of your shows. 😊
They have only done 1 "Smog Era" car too and that was Project Blue Collar Buick a 73 Buick Century, and the 2nd project ever done on "Muscle Car" which is now "Detriot Muscle" and that was 13 years ago...... They could kick us both a bone and do like a 73-76 Cougar.
Real race cars have full tube frames. Even the 20 foot car would be worth a whole money tree with a vin. Just stupid when you can buy every piece of that body tub to grill. You could have sold that car n vin bought a frame to weld up and built 100 times the car to drive on a track, and put a seriously fun powertrain in it. UNIMPRESSED to be generous.
@@CanadaBud23 Racing cost money. Just how much do you think John Force or Greg Anderson spends on a chassis? If they can afford that 20' split bumper. They got money and a smart move would be to flip the split and put a better race car together to win races and money. There is no such thing as cheap racing.
I hope you guys install a torque arm from chassisworks or speedtech (preferably chassisworks, it's better) Please don't do a 4 link, they have bad geometry on these cars
There’s something Zen about this build. I dunno if it’s because I could probably do this myself with some welding skill & experience, Or is it the lack of random adhd clips and commentary ??? 😂 All that said, love this build and now I am torn between crafting a Pro Touring or Classic restoration of 67 Firebird 🤦🏿😎🫡
I used to watch you guys on TV a lot. I love seeing all of the builds you guys do. I'm currently trying to get started building a 351c that I've had for years. I haven't seen a truly dedicated video to the Cleveland from y'all. I know you did the 351 shootout but it wasn't quite the same for me. I'd like to do mpfi on it with potential for a turbo later. Unfortunately someone swapped the heads, at some point for a build they were doing, with a 400m in a bronco. Would love to see an episode or 2 strictly dedicated to the 351 Cleveland. Heck I think it'd be cool to even see someone do a 393 stroker Cleveland. Love you guys' content and format.
If you need someone to haul that old engine and trans off I will be glad to come get it. I live just north of Chattanooga, I could sure use it for my 61 Chevy wagon. That would free up some shop space for you.
Finally found a real car to work on,, awesome, so here's a bit of info I guess you didn't know but GM used a thin wire across the odometer to hold the numbers Straight, when they rolled past 99999 it would break the wire and the numbers would drop, so if it's not Straight across then you know it's over 100k
I would say that the chassis in the engine are equal in the fact that neither one of them will do much good on their own . You see an engine sitting on a stand , it's a cool engine but where's the car . You see a cool car sitting without an engine , it's a cool car but where's the engine .
Put the SS front valance panel, remove the lights, and turn them into front brake air vents matching the RS grille. Right under the front bumperettes. 💡
What a waste of a perfectly good shell. I have a shell that needs work in those areas they are cutting out. I would of gladly traded my shell for that shell.
Another Chevy build , where the first thing you do is throw all the factory pieces in the dumpster. Then spend a bunch of money buying aftermarket engine , suspension etc….
It's a SAD DAY in the auto world, that's a real split bumper and are still worth money or a REAL rebuild. Can't watch because I love those vehicles....😢😢😢😢
@Chris Sperling there are small channels out there from guys in their home's garage, with just a few tools, that do a better job than these two butchers...
Only the RS package 72 camaros came with the split bumper. The SS and Z28 along with the base models came with a full bumper. A real SS or real Z28 has a full bumper.
If everyone wants to save these cars a "certain "way start putting your money up and go find the cars and save them then. If you can't shut up🤣. These cars are sitting around rotting out at least someone is saving them. Big wheels or not
Just curious, at 7+lbs per gallon, will the sheet metal trunk floor hold that weight without tying it into the frame? A high speed crash would rip that fuel cell right out of that sheet metal. I would think any sanctioning body would address this situation..
@@Thraser999 I am talking 70-73 Z28, The late 67 and 68 and 69 had the 302 for Trans Am racing. Chevrolet introduced the 350 cu in (5.7 L) LT-1 in 1970, making it available in both the Corvette and Camaro. It was an optional engine in the Corvette, and available and as part of the high-performance ZR-1 option. Between 1970 and 1972 only 53 ZRs were produced, making it one of the rarest Corvettes. In the Camaro, the engine was available only through the high performance Z/28 option, replacing the 302 cu in (4.9 L) engine designed to compete in Trans Am racing's 305 cu in (5.0 L) class installed in 1967-1969 cars. The LT-1 had an 11.0:1 compression ratio, Holley 780 cu ft/min (22 m3/min) 4-barrel carburetor, and solid lifters. For the first year the LT-1 was rated at 370 hp (276 kW) in the Corvette and 360 hp (268 kW) in the Camaro - both of these being brake horsepower (bhp) gross hp ratings. Despite the disparity between the two cars' listed hp there was no difference between the engines.
@@ericnelson6982 GM said the rear dump exhaust on the Camaros cut the HP from the ram head exhaust on the Vettes. That was the only difference in the engine between the two cars. You're spot on, sir.
As to the car choice, imagine if they told you how to spend YOUR money and what you could buy? I get the sentiment, but last time I checked we were in America, and they can buy what they want. The car will get finished and we will have episodes to watch that will apply to most makes and models...
100% LOVE that you’re getting people’s hackles up by cutting up a car people are getting all grumpy-britches over. Jimmy, Jeremy, keep doing what you’re doing!!!
Seems like PowerNation sets up a show by throwing 2 guys together ; give it a name , and start working on a vehicle ? Motortrend did it better when it was on TH-cam
This Camaro isn't rare, nicer ones get crashed daily or turned into street stocks. Nothing special at all about the car. What they're doing will extend the life of the old car. And I'm a Camaro guy, but this car needs a full restoration which is very costly and the car isn't worth it. It's not a Z28 or special in any way whatsoever. What they're doing will make something of the car and if you love old Camaros you should be glad they picked this old Camaro to save. It is a solid old car and it should end up being awesome.
Your next project needs to be a mid-late 70's American car. I've said it before and I'll say it again.... The "Collinade" and "Maliase" cars from 73-78 are THE hot build now and has been since Convid and Dempanic started and the Dems have tanked the economy on purpose because they are the last of cheap Muscle Cars and TRUE performance cars that a guy can still work on in his garage at home with $207,516 worth of scanners and electrical equipment just to change the oil. Love this build but you guys need to get back to what made cars shows popular, working and building cars that guys and girls are and can afford to build. a 72 split bumper Camaro is a wish list car, not a reality car for most people.
@@CanadaBud23 I agree, what I was saying is people are doing builds like this, especially in this shitty economy, when they want a new project you have to build what you got or what you can afford to buy. There is no "Well I want", Hell I WANT a 71 AAR Cuda or 57 Chevy Belair..... but that shit aint happening so I build what I can find and can afford, Most of us have Slim Jim Money, Not Beef Jerky Money.
I for one think this is an awesome project. These guys have mass skills and are putting them to great use here. Not all 72 Camaros are so rare that they need to have a nut and bolt restoration to original specification. Looking forward to following this project.

The "Collinade" and "Maliase" cars from 73-78 are THE hot build now and has been since Convid and Dempanic started and the Dems have tanked the economy on purpose because they are the last of cheap Muscle Cars and TRUE performance cars that a guy can still work on in his garage at home with $207,516 worth of scanners and electrical equipment just to change the oil. Love this build but you guys need to get back to what made cars shows popular, working and building cars that guys and girls are and can afford to build. a 72 split bumper Camaro is a wish list car, not a reality car for most people.
Make one. Does it have to be 'real'?? Real hot rodders don't really care how authentic something is. Just build what you got and forget the rest.
@@CanadaBud23 I agree, what I was saying is people are doing builds like this, especially in this shitty economy, when they want a new project you have to build what you got or what you can afford to buy. There is no "Well I want", Hell I WANT a 71 AAR Cuda or 57 Chevy Belair..... but that shit aint happening so I build what I can find and can afford, Most of us have Slim Jim Money, Not Beef Jerky Money.
Wrong car for that a split bumper 🥲👎🏻
WHY ?
