How To Sandblast Plastic: A Beginners Guide. "1978-81 Camaro Taillight Restoration Part 1 of 2"
We begin restoring our original taillights for our 1981 Camaro Project FastTimes, a tribute car to the Fast Times at Ridgemont High movie. We start by making a bracket to replace the rusting original one and we also sand blast the original plastic housings and refinish them inside and out. I go over the precautions and necessary steps to sandblast plastic.

Thanks
Bouta be getting a 80' Camaro, I love the depth and expressions you go into. These videos may not be getting millions of views but I can say for one you're very knowledgeable. Lotta nitty and gritty but the best parts are right around the corner. I look forward for more of your videos.
Thanks for the kind words. I have some new vids coming out soon.
Great video Russ. Thanks for all the other videos too. Maybe I missed something but, how did you replace the actual glass mirror itself?
Thank you. There is a part one video for these mirrors that deal with removing the old glass and restoring the black plastic housing.
@@DoubleRRestorations Thank you so much for the quick reply. Somehow I missed that other video.
Do you sell these all restored they look beautiful
Not at this time. It may become a service I offer in the future. Thanks, Russ
I think I'll source my 2nd gen from the South West
Its called MAN GAN NESE
How did you remove the original detent
The info your needing is in part 1, starts around 12:17 in that vid. Basically I ground the bottom of it to remove the roller and then used alot of heat, while putting what was left of the detent in the vice and using a punch on the hinge to drive the hinge part away from the remaining detent.
@@DoubleRRestorations thanks for the info you made it look easy hope it goes that way for me too!
I really like that filler detective, cool beans😅
@christopherhuot2826 Its a cool tool for sure.
It looks good, but why wasn't it diluted?
I just decided to use it at full strength
Nice job. Very informative, this will help me tremendously with my new retro steering wheel. Appreciate your attention to detail and your narrative.
@frankkennedy5361 Thank you, and thanks for watching.
Russ, where did you purchase that door lift? I am currently restoring a 1979 Camero for a family friend and have had to pulled the the doors off. I had someone assist me with the removal and was amazed at how heavy they are. It’s going To be a nightmare trying to reinstall these restored and repainted doors without destroying them. The door lift you seems like the answer to my dilemma.
It started life as a Parts Tree from Auto Twiler. I modified it into the door lift. I have a few videos of putting it together on the channel. These doors are so heavy. You are correct, its very difficult to do with just a jack.
Wow a little elbow grease goes along way, 9x out of 10 many parts, can be brought back from the dead with a good cleaning.
Very true. Thanks for watching
Thank you for making this video, i’m 15 years old and im looking to get myself my first classic project car! My dream is a 1965 Ford Mustang, but Im also looking at the 2nd gen Camaros because the prices of the first gen mustangs are skyrocketing. I also just love the look of the 2nd gen camaros.
Good luck on your search. Either car would make a great project!
That seal should not take any type of adhesive or sealant.
Someone had definitely been into one of these before.
@@DoubleRRestorations The new seals are definitely a pain in the but to install.
@CamaroMan79 Lots of patience for sure.
merci! pour les information
Thanks for watching.
I would like to add an LED for a blind side sensor indicator inside the side mirrors. I am curious how easy removing the silver would be in one spot.
Not sure I follow on what part your wanting to remove. You could adapt an amber led into the housing, either on the stand portion or under the mirror easily.
Gallon of Simple Green $ 9-10 at big box stores.
Yes! Thats usually how I buy it. I just keep a clean spray bottle handy to pour it in when needed.
Lol after watching this I'm afraid to look any further. Already doing the floor where needed all the front and rear of quarter panels and front fender rears
Thankfully for guys like us restoring these cars, they are reproducing alot of the parts we need.
Getting to the rust under a folded seam, use Evapo rust. If the part is small enough to put in a bin, if too big I set up a little $4 pump and a tarp. Put the hood on the tarp wirh a few 4 x 4 under it so it was tilted. Evapo rust runs over the seam with a vinyl hose clamped to the hood and the run off is picked up by the pump. Let it run for a day and it will remove any rust in the seam.
Good tip. Thanks for sharing.
Get a plastic welding set from TEMU, good amount of plastic rods come with the welder, 4 of 5 different types of rods for the correct plastic weld job
Can windshield repaor resin be used to fill the cracks in lenses
Probably, but the clarity of the clear lens is also gone. The replacements are nice too. Well worth it imo.
Anyone live in Northern Virginia who may want to get an old guy a hand wirh some of the metal work. Just had a stroke so need to take it easy. Lol yeah, right. I want Mom's car back on the road.
Hope you get your car back on the road and get to feeling better
I have a question that I have been asking gor the past 6 months and have not been able to get an answer. Are the doors supposed to have a bow in they ( front to rear) I put a straight edge on mine and it rocks( high in the center. It appears to have work done on both doors before my Dad bought it brand new in 1979. It time to fix the rust and repaint it bur I would like to know if it was too much bondo on the doors. Thanks😅
I'll have to look at mine with a straight edge. I have one door that is original here in the garage. I know there is some crown, but will have to check. Send me an email and I can send you some pics. My email address is double.r.resto@gmail.com
Awesome video! Only reference I needed throughout the whole process on my 1979 trans am! Thank you very much
Its amazing when we take this stuff apart we always say "Ill remember", then later we are like, 'how did this go?' Lol. Glad it helped.
brilliant job partner very helpfull foles australia.
Thanks 👍
That’s what they do. Be gentle
A bit off topic, outdo you know what type of pins are inside the cluster circuit connector (12 pins).
Not sure I follow. Are you talking about the 12 pin connection for the cluster?
Yes. I have since found those pins and have fixed it. I de-pinned and replaced the pins. Thank you for your reply.
There are also "pop" rivit style studs I use for window molding trim clips.
When I lived in the rust belt, the thing that always took these cars off the road was rear frame rail rust. I've seen a few so bad that the rear springs went up through the trunk or under the rear seat
Need some advice. Took the doors and hinges off a 77 camaro but we didn’t mark them. Any advice on how to get the doors back on with new hinges.
When I did my 81 there was some witness marks where the old hinges used to sit, not sure if they visible or not. The metal was slightly pitted in this area. I would try to get the centered for the most movement as possible, I usually concentrate on the door to quarter and rocker first. Small adjustments and alot of patience. I will keep two bolt semi snug and loosen one bolt to help in slighty moving the door so you dont over compensate and lose your starting point.
Excellent video helped me out a lot with installing steering column in my 55.
Glad it helped
Wipers in my 77 Firebird would not shut off. Prolonged voltage drops and instrument light flashing insanity. Then the diagrams and teaching you provided inspired me to jump the ground in the switch over to the body. Problem solved. Thank you for sharing your expertise. MT
Glad the video helped!
What is simple green? Btw the outcome was great 👍
Its a degreaser. Its supposed to be safe and can be diluted if needed
Excellent explanation and detailed. Restoring an old bike and the bolts need doing. Most are the battleship gray. Will be following this procedure. Thank you for posting. P.s im a spray painter and please use a charcoal mask for fumes. The one you are using is only for dust partials and gives no protection against fumes. 👌
Glad it helped. Will definitely wear a better mask for protection.
Thanks for this series of wiring video's. I am a fan of your tutorials!!!
Glad you like them! Should have some new vids released soon.
My parking lights go out too when I pull the headlight switch all the way out to activate the headlights. It must be a factory design with the original harness. Disregard this statement please. I see you addressed the question later in your video. Thanks!!!
That is an awesome job, but I want to ask if I may?, Would the owner of the car have been better served, and your job a bit easier, if the owner would have bought the Classic Update kit rather than the Factory Fit due to the add ons that were not factory? Thanks for the video's!!!!
Yes, absolutely. These were items that he already bought and started installing before reaching out to me. An updated wiring harness would have addressed alot of issues I ran into.
Love the story mine is much similar, especially about my dad I picked up a 71 rally sport in Phoenix brought back to Wisconsin and I’ve been working on it for three years now.also doing a 385 stroker..
Sounds like a great project. Ive started back on mine. I hope to stay on it till I finish now.
Nice job, perfection is never easy , but people like to look for it.
Very true! With these old cars its a balancing act.
TIP: next time, put belt on smaller pulley first and then roll it onto the larger one - much easier
I just revisited your channel, I know life gets in the way. I retired in October of last year, I haven't been this busy in years! I sure hope to see more from you soon, you're definitely one of the good guys. I hope all is well with you and your family. All the best to you all from Linda and me.
This has been a great video really helped me out I do appreciate your time
Glad to hear the video helped.
Interesting, did U use simple green straight? Cheers Graham
Can u show repair of column shifter 3 speed 3/1/24
I just had this one car in helping a friend out. I normally work on 2nd gen Camaros.
I hope your doing well; sure do miss your videos!
Thanks Jim. I have several vids I have been working on. I hope to start releasing them soon
Did the Simple Green soften the rubber a bit?
@@DoubleRRestorations I'm trying to soften the handles on some old fully forged camp axes/hatchets. They're from the mid 1970s, so no clue what type of rubber the over-mould handles are made from. Simple Green is a lot cheaper, and less strong than a 3:1 mixture of 90% isopropyl alcohol to wintergreen oil. Much appreciated. I hope it works. After I'm done softening them, I was going to use J-B Weld Black RTV to seal up some cracks in the handle rubber. If you have a different suggestion, let me know. Thanks again.
Sounds like plan, let me know how it goes. I did put some silicone paste on these boots afterwards and they still look new.
@@DoubleRRestorations one of the black rubber handles is completely detached from the steel shaft. That handle is in worse shape. The other handle, on the nicer camp axe/hatchet (it's a Craftsman 4810 made by Vaughan - 1080 high carbon steel) is still adhered very strongly to the steel shaft. Hopefully the Simple Green won't eat away the original adhesive from the rubber to the metal. Even if it does, I still have to adhere the rubber handle of one hatchet to the steel shaft. I figure I'll rough up the steel shaft with some low grit sandpaper paper, or a steel brush on a Dremel Tool. Most people recommend cyanoacrylate to attach the rubber handles to the steel shaft. I've got Loctite blue crazy glue (cyanoacrylate), E6000, and regular J-B Weld. I figure I'll start with the E6000, because it's what I have the most of. There's also a special method for rehandling golf clubs that works quite well, but the materials are expensive. I'm trying to keep this inexpensive, since these hatches have more sentimental value, than real value. I'm concerned if I use regular J-B Weld, the handles will never come off again! That stuff is very strong. I think the E6000 is the right place to start. I'm not sure I trust crazy glue (cyanoacrylate), even though that's what's recommended.
This is gold
Thank you
