Old Man's Garage's Mr. Kenny "Freakin" Powers has his 3rd Gen Camaro Lucore'd Up!

- A phrase we are very fond of around here is, "Doing Good things for Good People" and we try to live by that as often as we possibly can, in this case we got an opportunity to do just that. Mr. Kenny "Freakin" Powers of Old Man's Garage fame has a 1991 3rd Gen Camaro that was in need of some help to get it back on the road and ready for fun... we were more than happy to step up to help.
The initial plan? Get rid of the mini spool that was in the rear end of this car as well as the highway gearing, and move him into something more ready for racing but also street driveable. So, a Posi unit and new gears were certainly on the menu. Also while we had it in our care we needed to get some exhaust under this thing, running open headers is cool and fun for about 30 seconds... after that it very much isn't. Especially on race gas. Alright cool put some exhaust under this thing. No problem.
Well, then things got a little tiny bit out of control. Running a true duel exhaust under a 3rd Gen F body Camaro is a challenge on a good day, there just really isn't much room to run pipes or mount mufflers. To make matters even more complicated it came to us with some long tube headers that make placement even MORE tricky. And on top of ALL that, there's this big beautiful red transmission brace in the way. While it DOES do a great job at adding rigidity to the chassis it also piles up one more challenge. Then there's the rear end configuration. Running pipes up and over the panhard bar setup is... well let's just say not fun.
But it was easy anyone would do it right? So we dove into this challenge whole heartedly knowing Kenny would be over the moon if we could get this ride of his a few steps up the cool ladder. We think in the end it turned out pretty dang well and we checked off all the boxes we were tasked with. On top of that, we also checked off a few that weren't ON the list. With some BMR suspension parts that not only massively strengthened the rear end but also gave us room to run a true duel exhaust using Flowmaster FX mufflers, but also incorporating an X pipe in the system and true duel exhaust out each side of the car. As far as custom exhaust goes, this one certainly through a few challenges at us but ended up turning out pretty well in our book. We hope Kenny enjoys it.
Huge thanks as always to all our subscribers, followers, fans, and customers who have made our business successful and gotten our channel to where it is today. Special thanks to the SRC / Street Racing Channel / SRC Garage / Old Man's Garage / Junkyard Digs folks for showing such amazing support for us over the past several months. Without all of you we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are today. We hope you enjoy this one! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Thanks Ray we appreciate it! Try to mix a little real world education in with our entertainment 😀 OK maybe a little entertainment into the learnin 😉
How about a big thank you to Lucore. You guys are awesome. Helping out a very deserving Kenny Powers. Keep up the great work 👍 .
Good evening Mr Lucore, as always Rich did a great custom exhaust on the Camaro. He is a good teacher and humble too!🤨
This one certainly went WAY outside the realm of normal but it turned out pretty well we think! Thanks for the continued support Charles!
Thank you guys so much for making Kenny smile.
Welcome! Young man deserves it, glad we could tag in and be a part of making it happen. Very much looking forward to seeing him enjoying it!
Guys there are stand guys and then there are stand up guys,You guys Stand Above All . Thanks for what you’ve done for Another Stand Stand Up Guy.
Kenny is a good dude. Met him at Thornhill when Billy beat Tommy by a bumper. Nice work Boys. Lucore is the Spot 😎
@@jessejames3572 that's his nickname. He's a real cool dude. Had a 20 min conversation with him personally, Plus talked on messenger with him the past couple months. That whole Crew has been Good to me. Mrs Vicki Chewy Chocolate Carmel Bars are The Bomb!
@@jessejames3572 appreciate that man. Been trying my hand at this TH-cam stuff myself. Guitars,Chevys and Arrrowheads.
My channel name comes from the way I was raised up. My parents ran a Family Care Home for Disabled Veterans for 35yrs. So I was raised with a profound respect for all those who Fight and have Fought for our Freedoms and Liberties and Love for our Country. 😎🇺🇸🎸🤘
Red patriot, thanks to you and your family for taking care of our vets. My dad was a WW2 vet and my 2 brothers were Nam vets . I miss them all . Thanks again my friend👍
@@jeffreylight2454 buddy it was an honor to do so. My grandmother and 2 cousins ran care homes also..For Veterans and for State Patients. The hardest part was seeing the direct effects of war firsthand with never steeping onto the Battlefield.
Rich your a badass , thankyou for help ole Kenny Powers out!! He's happier than a puppy with 2 Peter's.
Lol what a great phrase! Glad we could help, this one was a bear for sure but in the end we win again and for a good cause. Next up hopefully Kenny having some fun in that thing!
This mechanic recognizes another mech that puts quality and safety ahead of looks.Glad your shops getting its just do,power of the internet and guys like Bill and family that saw it was possible to get a following og gear heads and racers and that such notoriety it bleeds off to others like Lucore.
Awsome job guys. Couldn't support a better group of guys and they couldn't get anyone better to be helping them. 💯👍👍
You guys do awesome work I wish that I was closer to you all.
What an excellent addition to the SRC family Mr Kenny Powers was !! Him and Miss Harley have really helped Bill & Miss Vicki w the SRC Brand 💯💯
The best 26 minutes of TH-cam that i have watched in a long time, thank you.
Wow thank you Herb we really appreciate that! 🙏
I think I actually saw him smile!!!! Way to go Kenny Freaking Powers!!! Test runs time!!! Time to get in the winners circle!! ✌😎🇺🇸
Awesome job Rich. Looks like you made Kenny Freakin Powers a very happy man. God Bless you guys at Lucore for helping him out. That’s just awesome !
That smile on his face at the end is what this is all about, helping a good person get his project just a bit closer so he can finally enjoy it. Looking forward to the shenanigans for sure!
You guys are awesome. Can't thank you enough for helping Kenny out. God Bless!!
Thank you, glad we could help Mr Powers move forward on that Camaro! Took a whole lot of doing but we got there 😀
Just the screen shot made me smile and laugh. Real Happy for you K.P.
It's certainly good to see them all smiling and happy 😀 Lots of good stuff ahead for the summer!
That's awesome Mr Kenny "FREAKIN" Powers. You get what you put in and you're living proof of that. Those fellas at Lucore are some sharp wrench turning bunch of guys. Bill and his family are some of the most down to earth good ole folks that anyone could ask to have for friends! Can't wait till you and the ole man duke it out on the track!
i smashed the like button before the commercials ended...Kenny has been waiting a long time for his Camaro back.
I think that's just about the most emotion I have yet seen out of Mr Kenny. Ya done good guys. 😁👍
Definitely gave it a sweet sound with that exhaust, and judging by what I could see of fitment Rich's bending skills are better than he thinks.
That was an awesome job you guys did there guys as usual Kenny looks to be very pleased anyone can see why you guys will recommended.
You guys are amazing 👏 you'll always have my support God bless each and every one of you good people are hard to find these days.
Had an exhaust shop for 15 years. Looks like you’ve got it figured out pretty well sir. Fantastic job
Wow can't put into words how good of a job you do. You care about your work and how it looks and not many techs around that's Ole school like us and the old man.
My dad taught me and I quote, If you got time to do it wrong, you certainly have time to do it right
We DO take pride in our work and hopefully that shows, unfortunately that's a less than common thing these days. We don't just work old school things, we do it the old school way.
Great job Kenny and the SRC family will be well pleased👍👍
Safe to say we're all excited to see Mr Powers out there Wheeling it!
With everything going on in his life
This is a present
Solid work guys
Hopefully it works as a catalyst to turn things around for him. Happy we could help him out on this.
Definitely came out nice, really cool if you guys to help out like that!

Thanks Joe we appreciate it! This one was certainly a challenge but like a lot of things in this business keep after it and you'll eventually get the win 😀
Sounds freaking great
Thank you Sir, first time we've ever used this X Pipe setup and these FlowmasterFX mufflers. Pretty dang happy with the results!
You have a wealth of knowledge . Glad you are showing it to us..
Got tons of little bits and pieces of good and bad ideas hiding in these brains of ours 😀 Glad you're enjoying some of it and maybe even learning a bit!
@@LucoreAuto Using that ratchet strap was a brainy idea.
Awesome job guys !! A true class act !!!!
Great shop love that you guys are helping the old man garage an kenny powers out.. keep up the good work
Ratchet strap is what I always use for that particular job, quickest and safest way to do it IMO.
Totally fits with one of our favorite phrases, There's the Right Way, The Wrong Way, and The Way We're Going To Get This Done!
Great video guys, best 3rd gen exhaust I think I’ve seen
Very good work! The exhaust look’s and sounds amazing 👍

Exhaust came out nice Rich. Nice work
Sounds good good job..
A few weeks ago I had left the comment about Mr Kenny Powers and doing something for him and I left that comment because when he taken that car for a test drive you could see how happy you was and how much fun he was having and at that point in time I left the comment saying you know it would be cool if you guys didn't know exactly what to do with all three of them to do a little project thing for Kenny and here apparently I opened mouth and inserted my stank ass foot! Hahaha! Anyway I am very happy for Kenny , he has worked very very hard and he deserves it!! I know he will be very happy when he gets it back! Well done 👍 everyone!! God bless!!
Great job!
Fine craftsmanship Rich 👍
Here from old man’s garage.. great content.

Very nice, professional install and sounds good!
Thanks Scott, we definitely reached into our bag of tricks on this one to get her finished off. That sound is actually pretty dang good, first time we've used these mufflers and they turned out a mighty nice sound we think.
Great job on Lenny's exhaust and rest end update! Awesome content keep up the great work!👍🤔💥💥💥😎
