Metal gapping is so enjoying to me. I have had a handful of 55's and none of them fit up real well when they were new. I enjoy your work. Keep it up

Man i wish you could help me do mine! I have a 56 apache.

I'm Sorry. Im not going to watch 7 8 minute commercials to view a 15 min. video...

Can you get a shorter intake and if so is there a part number. What alternator did you use and what pully on power steering pump. Do you have to shave the 4l60e also

I have a 79 El Camino i took a 5.3 out of my truck im getting ready to drop in. I just want my Camino to run as good and as quiet as my truck did. It will be plenty powerful enough for me bone stock

could not get mine to work

I was wondering where those shots from behind were coming from!!! Hello Jacob!!

Did you ever have rust in the quarter windows ?

Beautiful Corsa, thanks for sharing and great job!

Hello, I would like to know which steering pump pulley did you use?

Good job bud , lots of work , came out nice . I'm going through this very same inner well thing right now on my 55 , not excited about it lol

What stock exhaust manifolds (or doorman) will fit g body LS swap? and what power steering pulley# will clear steering box with the truck engine assembly swapped in?

I feel your pain , i have one just like it here im about to start on , rubber mat in trunk concealed a crack from end of trunk to hump behind back seat , tail panel qas screwed on , alot of bad spots i couldnt see. Not looking forward to it. Best of luck with yours

My poor Corvair is so grungy in comparison haha

I put an engine from a wrecked 65 Corvair Monza (140hp)into a 1965 Corsa. Did the job at the back of a dealers lot in Thompson Manitoba in 1971.No jack, bits of wood, on my back on the asphalt, most of the time. It took me a while. It ran fine, until I let it go when I got married and was dirt poor. Are there any sig nificant differences between the 65 and 66 model years? Loved the way the car handled, 80 mph going sideways on a gravel road northern Manitoba. Very manageable, Michelin tires. Loved that car. Beautiful lines. Heating sucked. Like your site, hope to see more on this awesome car.

Great video, & content I'll now know what to look for if I get a 4 door G body. You did a hell of good fix thanks for sharing your time, & knowledge.

I just started getting into these G body Malibu's, & yours is really sweet; I also like how you employed the kiss method on the build. I'm looking mostly for a 4 door that I would keep mostly stock, & use it as daily driver, & long trips as well. I'm retired so I don't do any daily driving anymore, & like your tag reads to many cars 8 to be exact, & they are all Chevrolet's. I also want to get a 65 or 67 Monza sport sedan, But I'll have sell 4 of my current vehicles to thin the heard out; Plus 1 more that I want to hold onto a little longer. Thanks for the video, & the content.

Nice video; I have a 64 Greenbrier 110 P/G & it has never leaked, But my 67 is totally different story, & it didn't start leaking till I put a finned pan on the 1st one was slightly warped ( pan ) so I sent it back, But it still has the leak, But I don't know when I'm going to get back into it as of right now I have a all the parts to fix on the shelf to fix it. I use to own a 60 700 4 door with the P/G & it never leaked as well. Love your garage set up it does make the job allot easier. I have no thoughts on what could be causing the leak still on your 64, & I read your replies to a few comments; I was thinking that the seal hasn't soften up enough, But you've driven it a couple of hundred miles so the seal should be broke in. Thanks again for the video, & content.

I have some bad tranny leaks in my 64 that I can only ignore for so long. Any recommendations on a jack or stand to use when pulling the power train? I’ve got nada and am not sure what I need.

Looked good Saturday

I think the black wheels look great!

A helpful video, but too much talking when less would be more, and not enough explanation when more talking would have been helpful. The anti-squeak you used for the strap wasn't necessary, but it would look SOO much better if you trimmed it to the same width. Three stars out of five.

It's looking very nice now. YES!!! Paint the wheels cream. In my opinion black wheels do not look good on classic cars.

Yenko tuned is Hartley tuned.

The Yenko Stinger was a outgrowth of Bill Hartley's street racer.He made alot of money late night road racing.

Ed looks great nice job very cool! Its amazing what you can do today to spruce things up.When I was in Highschool I worked partime in a Volkswagen Beetle Repair Shop cars just like yours,HA! Did alot of clutches no lifts floor jacks then,HA! Glenn

Do you have any idea on how to replace the dipstick tube on 1964 CORVAIR ? The CORVAIR I purchased the dipstick is broken I think in half. My tube sticks up above the engine cover about 8 inches. So I’m not sure if the other half is in the tube or not. Any ideas ??? Thanks, Steve

well u could drive the Porsche and sell me the Corvair lol, my harley already leaks, so whats 1 more oil spot?

Oil pans rust out and so can a converter Good luck. And yes powerglides are noted for draining down and leaking when parked

Ed. One of the primary reasons I follow you is that you remain humble and modest but at the same time you stand your ground and remind us followers that we can all have different opinions and still respect each other. The world needs more people with your attitude!!👍🏻

We have found a hairline Crack on torque converter hubs before. Some are almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

Put some AT 205 in it and see if that helps. The stuff really works, I've used it on my own car to stop a manual trans leak.

That is a lot of work Ed. For a result you are less than happy with. My 2 cents worth which is just that. I believe I would have used a Matt finish. I am just not a fan of the gloss. The satin finish may not have shown as much flaws. Thanks for the lesson. As if I choose to do this down the road. Lesson learned. Great video. Thanks.

Mind sharing the price it finally went for?

What year is the Bug?

Geez man kill the weeds growing around the foundation of your house. Then paint the damn bug!!! You need more shine in that shop. 😂

I'm so glad you didn't try it on the Corvair. Maybe the Corvair could get a more permanent shine with a ceramic coating. But I never tried those ceramic coatings so... what do I know ?🤔

Well, that was a lot of work. Trying to cheap out never works for me either.

Great collection of vehicles.

I like this kind of video because you show the devil in the details. I have a 64 Corvair and I will definitely re-watch this video in the future. BTW, when my last LM Corvair convertible was covered with snow I would run it with the heat on while I shoveled the driveway. The heater cleared everything to the front clip. The heat works shockingly well when sealed.

Best gas tank replacement video for corvairs on CZcams ! Super informative and actually showed all the steps all the way through 👍

Would you ever want to finish my 58 for me its 3/4 done and I like your work. I'm not sure if you do work for other people or not though

I just picked up a 63 Monza 900 Spyder convertible. What is involved to switch out the 4 lug hubs to 5 lug? Great video!

I hear a Minnesota or perhaps Wisconsin accent :)

Geezz it’s like watching DD speed shop. Metal tools on paint. Not worried about scratches. 🤣😂

Pulling body off the frame is the only way it can be done. That called a body-off restoration, not a frame-off. Frame off makes no sense.

Would it be too much work to install a manual transmissions on the '64 ? I mean, if you already have the parts, of course.

The bezel with the radio in it would be my preference. I would not coat the dash with a gloss of any sort. Just due to glare or reflection from it onto the windshield. A Matt finish may reflect some as well. What a great solid car that is. Another great video. It is an education on early’s

I had that wipe on clear applied to my very faded '69 Chevy truck. It looked ok for about six months until it started fading that highlighted the streaks in how it was applied. Looks pretty bad now , several years later. Your existing paint looks better than mine was, so hopefully you will be ok. Like the earlys, too.

Trying to get my 62 going redoing engine
