Party on Garth! You're killing it bud keep em coming!!!
Garth, instead of welding it back, remove the hacked up metal, make the hole nice, and fabricate a nice removable plate. It'll save you time if there's problems and will still look good. Food for thought.
I like the way you think!
Thank you. You've earned it my friend and the sky is the limit for you and your girls.
I'm loving the 'layout' of this channel; you give the idea of what you're doing, then go right to it, skipping over the 'boring' part, picking up after it's all over with. Can't wait to see the new project & I LOVE the idea for the next give away!
Your channel is coming along nicely, looking forward to seeing you and your girls fixing anything and everything.
I have been waiting for this. Thanks so much for doing the IROC.
I love them camaro iroc z . my uncle have two of them.. i want to find me one if i can
Nice car, glad you're saving it.Congrats to you and the girls for creating such an awesome channel.
I remember riding in my friend's iroc. Windows down, our mullets flapping in the wind with GNR blaring on the radio. This brings back memories. Good times.
Glad to see you starting on the IROC. Congrats on the amount of subscribers you've been getting. Great channel.
Hello I'm on video Garza from Texas born in 1960 I remember those Camaros when they first came out I went to a car lot and tested one out I love to test cars out when they first come out that was a good-looking car
A tip on dropping the tank on a thirdgen. You have to lower the rear as far as the brake lines will let you to drop the tank all the way out. If you do weld up the hack job you will need to fully drop the tank anyway. You gained a new subscriber doing this revival!
During my college years, these beauties were everywhere. This car reminded me of the TransAm infatuation of the late 70s, the way folks spoke of these cars and their respective owners. Good times-fun rides! 10k subs this week-let’s go! ❤️🔧✌🏻
I dreamt of a 1970s T/A but when I was in HS I ended up with a 1992 Z28 5.7, it’s definitely a cult with these 2nd & 3rd Gen F body’s
Very happy for you and your family. God is great !
Congrats on all the subscribers. That is a huge accomplishment in a short time. I started my channel about the same time and have 10 subscribers and 70 views on my video, which i am very happy to see. Have another video in the works now. keep up the good work and thanks, its very encouraging to me to watch how your channel is growing.
Lmao!! When you opened that door I thought you ripped a paint peeler!!!
I'm like your daughter Garth. I like the sound of a hotrod too lol. Great car. I love the 80-90s camaros especially the Iroc-Z with the 350. Those cars are awsome when you set them up right. Hey CONGRATS on getting monetized. That great. I've never seen a channel pop off that fast.
Love the rock auto fridge. I’ve got one of those too.
THIS is the kind of content that I've been trying to find! Keep up the great work!
So happy for your new journey!
U guys are killing it absolutely fantastic vid
Can’t wait to see that Iroc ripping down the road! 👏
Puhh , the trap door to the sending unit., not so good .., 🥴
.. I have also a trap door in my 86 IROC .. but this is super clean .. plate with seal and bolts ..
have a lot of fun with you Iroc 👍🏻
Greeting from Germany
Love seeing the little one in the garage. You need a lift!
I concur!
Really glad you've been fortunate with the channel. Keep grinding and growing. I look forward to the next one. No giveaway necessary for me. I just enjoy the content. Glad you include your kids in the fun, they are mostly left out on many channels.
Great video. Looking forward to part 2👍🏻👍🏻🤜🏻
We are like the same person lol 3rd gen Camaro, Silverados for days, you've definitely got a ringing bell from me! 😎
Love seeing the little one there with you. Keep on you're doing a great job love what you're doing
Glad you're growing so quickly. Good video.
More more more! Great job. Love to see these not going to the wrecking yard.
Z 28 ... 🤘🤘🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Another good video bud keep up the good work 😎
Awesome car! Love Rileys smile when it barked for a second!
You're doing a great job, keep it up!
P.S. I agree with you... don't be lazy! My eyes almost leaked when I seen that butchery!
I think the Google website has a molded dash cover. It's way moore affordable. That's a great find👍
Excited to see where this channel is headed!
Let's hope Bendpak or Wildfire will throw in with Milwaukee and get you kitted out a little more! Nice episode!
Can't wait to see what the 3 vehicles you picked up are. Very awesome!
Your youngest little girl is so cute..she reminds me of my youngest little granddaughter that I love so much.
Hey Garth, it’s nice to see someone else taking on a project similar to mine. I also have an 87 iroc-z 350 tpi that sat in a barn for over 20 years, fortunately and also unfortunately it has t-tops, the unfortunate part is the barn leaked and so did they, I’m having to re do the whole interior and eventually will have to weld in some floor pans, it’s all original and part’s matching. I’m having electrical issues and problems with the prom chip in the ecu, I’m thinking about taking it out and putting a fitech ultimate tpi stand-alone ecu in it.
They're fun cars!
I didn’t read through all your comments so this may have been mentioned, but since that hole is already in the floorboard, why don’t you make a clean cut and make it an acceess panel that you can use at a later date if you need to. Thanks for the videos.
It's a shame about the butchered access hole, but a bigger shame the factory never put one in. My 88 Pathfinder came with one from the factory, smart very smart. Another great video, really enjoyed it.
You’re a natural at this. Keep it up.
Great content buddy …. Camaro comming along can’t wait to see it running. Keep up the great work my friend shout out to you from Mexico.
I’m really glad to see this IROC Z getting the revival it deserves.
Pretty cool, It will be interesting to see what the 3 "new" vehicles you bring in. Liking the Camaro. Good videos man.
Wow! That fuel-pump access hole is savage! I disagree with you about not doing that. It makes more sense than pulling the exhaust and dropping the panard-bar. It can be done neatly and secured and sealed with panel screws and silicone. Fuel pumps fail often these days with ethanol-blended fuels. Having an access-panel saves time and hassle. Many auto-makers have them now in their cars. As long as you limit your cutting to the thin sheet-metal plate and not the wavy gussets, you are not diminishing the structure of the car.
I'm not worried about structure, I hate modifying things like that and would prefer to do the harder job to keep it original.
@@garthsgraveyardgarage I own a third and fourth gen F-body and am so happy I made an access panel in both of them. Not everyone has access to a hydraulic lift.
I changed a starter in a iroc a few yrs ago and didn't have to drop the exhaust. There was enough room to wiggle it out and save me a big headache. Lol
I just saw one of these broke down on a Florida highway. So sad 😢. Hope he fixed it.
Hey dude. That fast back looks really cool. I would be tempted to roll cage it and race it.
Shame about the neglect,
I look forward to what you'll do with it.
love your video
I got a kick out of you driving your lifted super beetle out to check out future projects, that was a pretty decent camaro to abandon
Another fun one to watch 🤙
I put an access door in my old astro van floor above the fuel pump. I was having reoccurring problems with it. I made a clean job of it though.
I See it's a tpi motor. Good luck with that. My 86 Z28 305 TPI runs when it wants to and only when it wants to.
I just wanted to say Way to go Dad!
MUCH better for not having "T" tops! IMHO! Great find! Only thing that would make it better would be a manual but hey the price is right! LOL.
It's a shame about the easy access hole for the tank. But congratulations on the growth of your channel. I can't wait to see the new projects, best wishes to you and your girls.
Thanks for sharing 👍
You should be able to hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key. Of course if you don’t hear the pump it’s a chance it’s bad but, if you do, then that little piece of gas line that connects the actual fuel pump to the sender is disintegrated. That happens when they sit up a long time. In that case you have to drop the tank or you can check under the carpet in the hatch to see if somebody cut the trap door to access the fuel pump.
Love your videos brother, keep up the good work. 👍
Had me lmao off on the access cut out door. I do that to most of my 4x4 rigs but do it professionally. I can see why they did it to the Iroc with how the stock exhaust is and all the wire holding it up.
So a good ol even 20 cars lmao. Cant wait to see what u bought.
Been lookin for a 66-70 Olds Cutlass 442 since I wrapped my 68 around a pole. You see sumpin like that in that 10 acres?
Only saw one Cutlass out there, but it was probably a 1982 model.
I just got a 86 rs z28 yesterday i need a radiator and full exhaust but it in decent shape
Love your content, keep up the good work!
I’m enjoying your videos
Congratulations on your continued success 👍
Just an FYI, the early 350 TPI cars weren't available with t-tops, body flex or something was their reasoning. Same for not having a manual trans, supposedly no 5 speed to stay reliable behind it. That was then.
Thanks!
Hi Garth ,we are down the road in San Antonio
Texas nice Channel!!
Howdy, neighbor!
@@garthsgraveyardgarage 👍
They look more muscle without the T-Tops...IMO. Great vid. Will sub and like.
Oh yeah headers and single chamber mufflers would sound sick!
I miss my old iroc had one that same color back in high school just wondering what your plans are for it later
We haven't made an official decision on what to do with it yet.
I live in NY. I would have cut the trunk. I've done it countless times. With that said, I weld them back closed and my "access doors" are much nicer. Good Lord! Did a blind man cut the trunk open with bolt cutters?
It certainly appears that way!
Good work you do hello Garth Hi from Newfoundland
Hello there!
Did ya check the fuse for fuel pump? Its next to the battery.
I love your cars
I cut a door trap above the fuel pump cut the lines and install gasoline hoses with hose clamps..
Put a hint out to challenger lifts, you might get one.
Might want to wear safety glasses, good to let the children know how to protect eyes. Saw that your older daughter was wearing them in previous video while working on the LUV.
You should make a t-shirt with spark and boom on with the IROC on it?.
Been there done that I actually moved the rear end to get to the tank had A 91 Camaro sitting for 8 years the tank was scalled and the injector were full of trash but I did have to move the rear end yes do it the right way don’t be lazy
When are you filming again on the Chevy Luv truck that was my dream truck when I was in my Lp gas explosion my brother in law brought me one he went to pick it up for me fixed it and didn’t get the title for it got it running great he Surprise me with it took me over to his house to give it to me when we got there the Sheriffs car was there the man he got it from lied to the Sheriffs office and wanted his truck back my brother in law lost out $800.00 cash + $200.00 in parts and I didn’t get my dream truck Chevy Luv 4x4 I enjoy your video keep up the good work god bless you and your daughters
Awesome Chanel keep it up
Id just cut a trap door in the rear floor of trunk {flat part drivers side} , instead of pulling tank out from bottom a lot easier and youll have it already done if pump goes out again
You didn't have to drop the exhaust...i have an 1988 5.7 irocz and all you have to do is stand the starter vertically and move it i believe forward to find an opening the size of the diameter of the starter and drop it down then just install in reverse order...😊😊😊
Tried that, didn't work.
Hell yea dope content thanks
Just stumbled your page and dang bro I'm in san antonio. Uour mot too far from me and have a 91 camaro. Looking to gain some knowledge
Hey man awesome video I just came across it because I had one as well been sitting for 20 plus just now thinking it time to put it on the road, I'm not a mechanic but can I follow the same steps you did to start mine up again or how will I go about it .
I used the basic steps, which is a good place to start.
Got ya OK I'll see lil by Lil it's the same as this one just in white and my steering where is out so that something I got to look in to but Idk anything about it so fingers crossed hahaha. Thank you and keep up with the videos this Texas heat is no joke
No doubt! It has definitely slowed me down.
Letttttttssssss gooooooo!
Need some, “looby-dooby,” on those old bolts, lol.
I didn't film it, but it happened! 😁
Hey garth u should have an electric trunk pop in between the power window switches on the console
Once I got power to the car it took several flips of that switch, but eventually started working.
@@garthsgraveyardgarage I have owned a few third gens in my day all were stickshifts
You should watch sprayway customs because he rebuilds a 3 rd gen Camaro and rebuilds dash in it , low cost
Just do the trap door..it's so much easier than dropping all of the other stuff that you have to drop to get to the tank
U need some torches you wont break exhaust studs ever that way thats how we do them in the rust belt always heat them just a tip
my brother randomely asked me this morning if i wanted to restore an i rocz with him, now i realize why lol
Folks from the cold salty north are so confused about how you didn’t break any bolts, especially using an impact.
Man, they wrecked the floor. Looks like Ray Charles cut it open with the handle of a butter knife.
Great description 🤣
I live in Massholecusettes I wouldn’t even consider taking manifold nuts off that way without heating them white hot first
i love the car,how did the car end up there from mississippi,i live not to far from tippah county mississippi
Someone bought it as a project car and apparently gave up.
@@garthsgraveyardgarage that sucks,i have an 86 iroc that had tons of work done to it before i bought it,the engine and transmission has 10,000 miles on it.

A roadkill camaro my dream car hahaha 👌😍🌹
Keep it up
Location? Do you do work for other people? If so, how much to LS swap my OBS 2dr Tahoe?
I'm in Canyon Lake, but not open to the public. I take clients on a case by case basis and won't work on stuff newer than 1987.
