Very nice! After looking more at your channel, you should have a bunch more subscribers. Very good channel, good productions, and all around thumbs up! 👍
Love the car, I have a 74 that Ive been tinkering on for a few years now, previous owner did a big block four spd conversion, my first car way back in 88 was also a 74, got lucky to find another solid builder, hard to find year, enjoyed the video
I like those elec fans w the aluminum shroud and that close out panel in front of the radiator is supposed to help force the air directly thru the radiator cores. I had a similiar set up on my BBC in my 78 LT and it kept it at 205-210 in the heat all day. Before i installed the dual fans w shroud and the panel up top it would get up to 220-240 and I had to shut it down. The clutch fan and plastic shroud GM used was actually a solid set up that kept the engine cool, it wasnt pretty but it worked. My issue was sitting in traffic, the clutch fan would lock up but it just didnt pull enough air- hence my elec fans that pulled a ton of air on 40amp relays. I had to upgrade my alternator and battery but it was worth it. The last thing i did was put louvers on each side of the hood to help let the heat out, that also helped alot. I could put my hand above the louvers and feel the very hot air as it escaped. It gets really hot under the hood w a hot big block and headers.
I am glad you did not record the part when you took the trans am tips off, it made me so depressed 😢, kidding aside your car looks great , but I do own a trans am.
I would think the rear end would have pins to sit on the leaf spring I know my Dodge did when I changed the leaf springs so the rear end wouldn't move and then you put the Horseshoe clamps on, any way cool video nice car, I'm also commenting before I finished watching so..lol
I still can’t see where the rear sway bar is mounted up , on my 79 trans am do I need to put a couple of holes in the frame for it to mount up ? I have the exact same rear sway bar
So you think the Cal Tracs were causing the rear to move or enabling the rear to move? Just taking them off the rear will stay put? Your holes got elongated when the u bolts were all loose. I had T.A. tips on my 77 Camaro and the exhaust would make a popping noise. Exhaust guy figured it was sucking air in the front pipe and popping on the way out the second pipe. Cool car, love the color but the interior is a little different.
Preliminary inspection of everything upon removal found no damage. We did have to take the holes in the axle pads up to half inch to fit the new U bolts from the kit...We will see you shortly when we hit the streets!

That's the prettiest I've seen
Nice car someone had some money in it and did a good job on her for sure !
Had 1980, ran off Pisgah mtn. Total
Good deal! Glad you ironed out those problems!!!
I used to have a 77 LT board over 30 with a positive rear end 308 gears for speed t10
Nice Camaro!!!
Thank you!
Buddy had 70 Z, AUTO T 400 427. 4.56 HOG HEAD.
Yup that hooks up alot better now. 😊 Good diags and find.
Now it's time for a run on the chassis dyno!
debating buying a 74 my dad has had tucked away for a while. but u got wheel hop with the axle movement
God it looks and sounds beautiful
Thank you!

Lol, I would have left them, but they didn’t fit…
9 inch rear end call it a day or 12 bolt c clip removal rear end. Or strange 60
Just found ur channel,laughed when u said thing 1 ha,picked up 79 to get back to life,putting 5 sp should be a fun. I'll be watching. Clean car.
Thats how we address them....or Doof#1 and Doof#2
That exhaust has to go, straight dual exhaust will sound better and perform better. Cool car can’t wait to see it being restored !
We'll see how this build goes!
I thought the rear end was moving around quite a bit. BTW, I spy something from way back on the back wall.
HA HA You must mean the ROUSH 2V supercharged Mustang coupe....
That’s the one. 😂😂😂

Ditch the leat springs...
leaf
I still can’t see where the rear sway bar is mounted up , on my 79 trans am do I need to put a couple of holes in the frame for it to mount up ? I have the exact same rear sway bar
Can you send a request to the Facebook page? (Family's Garage) I will get you a photo. I cant see a way to add one here....

Exactly...🧐
