I'm feeling the 80's training montage music!
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost my login password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Evan Idris Instablaster :)
@Raphael Ali Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Raphael Ali it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
@Evan Idris No problem =)
Never watched a battery tray being removed and replaced before! Thanks for this tutorial.
Brilliant work. The prep is everything as we all know...but sometimes we can get a wee bit lazy fantazy. Retored my faith in rattle cans and the work needed in prep.
Hey brother! I'm a Ford Foxbody Mustang guy... but I always love seeing the extreme similarities of the GM F-body. That engine bay came out beautiful and I love that factory color. Keep up the great work! Great to see American history kept alive (even with a little modification, lol). Thanks again!
Outstanding result Matt! It's all about the prep....KUDOs for your perservence!
Great production of the video man. Sweeping shots, music and fade outs. End results look fantastic. Can’t wait to see the rest of the series
I have not even seen it and I’m exited 😅
Awesome Matt! I've been thinking about replacing that insulation behind the dash. Wasn't looking forward to it. Thank you for the great info. Looking forward to this build!
i love these longer formatted videos showing the process with a how-to with it as well.
Excellent job Matt 👏 👍 the prep pays off in the paint and your hard work really shows!
Excellent video Matt! Worth waiting for!
It was relaxing watching this transformation of the engine bay and job well done! I love the attention to detail and have done similar projects like this in my past, but never to this degree or quality. Well done!
Another great one Matt, the engine bay turned out really nice. Looking forward to the next ones!
Thanks for sharing,
DC
Excellent content once again, dense with material. Love the music; it suits the video so well. Worth the wait. Long video yet felt short, so I was immersed the entire time; could have went on for two hours and left me wanting more.
Another awesome video, I'm very happy with it being a long one as well. Can't wait for the next one!
From a Ford guy, Thank You! You have given me the confidence to start doing more painting on my own. Like your T/A.
wow Matt great job. this was so satisfying to watch!
I had to re watch the episode on my phone to grab some pictures, thanks for the video / reference material!
Glad I found this channel. I'm buying back an 87 trans am I owned in high school, from 93 til 99. It's ROUGH. I have decent paint and body experience but minimal mechanical experience. I want to restore it to what it was when I owned it and beyond, including a LS swap (have someone lined up for this, way beyond me). I have a feeling if I do this project, this channel will be most valuable!
Well done and great work! I appreciate your attention to detail as well as getting that job done right!
Been looking forward to this for a month! lol THis videos are amazing it will help me build my iroc z at some point :D
I thought I blacked out and wrote your comment here as I also have an IROC I'm rebuilding, and needing to do this. And, been waiting a month! Hah ha!!! Let's do this, Matt! Can't wait to see the video!!!
Same here 😅 have a blue 86 I’m wanting to get started on next month
Thanks for all the hard work and effort that goes into making these videos. Great job mate!.
Super cool video. I am working on a 82 Trans Am myself and have to do the exact thing - paint the engine bay and replace the battery tray as well. I already bought the tray but have not installed it. It was good to see you do it so I can get an idea. Great work and keep the videos coming. 👍
Looks good man. Good job ! I know the effort that it takes to do this exact project. This was me last January. Sanding, filling holes, removing everything, primer, paint, what a process.... but the results are well worth it. Good job
Always love watching your videos. Iv got an 89 RS which I'm daily driving right now. Great motivation to wanna get out there and start doing little things here and there with it. But once I get another vehicle I'm definitely restoring it. Great content man keep it up.
Wow awesome video Matt, you put a ton of work into making that engine bay look great!
The engine bay looks like it did from the factory. Absolutely awesome job with it!! I definitely think you wouldn't have any problems doing the outside body and painting with how you've done the engine bay!! 😎👍
Absolutely amazing! loved this video. was thinking of doing this to my car and now i know what it takes and it is possible in a regular guys garage.
One moment yesterday he said tomorrow the video will be up 🔥 lmao
your comment made me realize I scheduled it for the wrong day!
It looks great Matt! It will really look good when you raise the hood to show off that LS engine.

Awesome job!!. Great video and excited to see more keep them coming.
AWESOME work !! Dude it was worth the wait . As some one who lived through the 80's the music was a great touch it made me feel like i was watching a 80's video. Can't wait for the next update.
I’m loving the video as always. Highly detailed. I love it
Nice job man, I’m on the same step with my 86 T/A. Been following your videos like guidelines. Can’t wait to see the wiring video soon I know I’m going to need it.
Well done, sir! From what I've seen of how most car companies paint engine bays from the factory, it's unlikely that even looked that good when it was new.
This! This right here is why i subscribed to you awhile back. Thanks for the info and all. Be awesome to see you get your own show on motortrend one day . Thanks again. Making me want to work on my 87 TA even more.
A much anticipated upload, Thank you Matt
Outstanding job, Matt. Well done!
Great job Matt. I always enjoy watching your videos.
Your best video ever and the best work you’ve done to date! Keep up the good work Matt!
This is a clinic on how to do this right, really like the step by step.
I have no words other than.. DAMN FINE JOB!
WOW! Came out great. Now I can see why you went ahead and pulled the front bumper cover and associated. Only way to do it right.
Awesome video! You taught me a lot about primer. I didn't know about the filler primer and for sure will be using that. They even had it in red which will help my color scheme. Thanks again!
Wow, nice job! One of your best videos yet!
Thanks for the video.Nice work there LsxMatt !!!
Great job on the painting of the engine bay
Looks freaking killer man!! 👍👍👍... Can't wait too see it completely done...
Hell yeah Matt looks great. I’ll be starting on my 85 TransAm in the next few weeks.
Absolutely great job that looks outstanding!
Looks awesome great work!!! You are inspiring me to do this to my 85 TA I’m restoring. My engine is out.
Looks so good! So so good! Thank you for the content!
That engine bay looks amazing great job!
Awesome step by step video instructions. Thanks
Matt, really enjoy watching ur videos.pretty knowledgeable
Nice work. Been looking forward to this video to see how you decided to go about painting the bay. You did yours almost identically to how i did mine about two months ago, except i chose not to go with the automotive touch up brand, and went with the duplicolor perfect match touch up(7 cans of color, one can of clear). Looks like we pretty much got the same result. Originally i wanted to copy what Tibo on TGO did to his bay, but holy hell that level of clean requires a serious patience for body work that I'll never have lmao
It turned out really nice. Congrats on it.
This was worth the wait. Great job
Nice work Matt! Love it.
entertaining and informative, great video as always!
GOOD JOB! I Enjoyed watching that. Got me motivated to get my butt back out in the garage.
Loving it, can't wait until she's finished
I’ve been doing this type of stuff for so long and never finishing the job because rattle cans aren’t going to give good results painters tell say. This is inspirational I must say. I’m in the middle of a ls swap on a Camaro and I was going to half ass the engine bay because I didn’t want to pay someone to spray it. Rattle can it will be!!!!
You do great work, car looks great, the video is inspiring.
Nice job bud.... Looks super good
Im new to your channel but definitely shows you love this car can't wait to see what else you do to it
I'm supposed to be inheriting my family's 89 but this is probably my favorite channel cause I got a 02 chevy too so this channel covers everything I need love the content bro
Impressive job. Growing up these cars were everywhere, not anymore. I've parted out a few of them. I remember the 1st time I dropped the dash in my Formula(an 89)how daunting it seemed. These cars are actually pretty easy to work once you start doing it. Wish I still had mine. Did the TA come with a nice dash pad already? I thought you had an overlay in there too. Can't wait to see this baby running!👍🏻👍🏻
Hell yeah been waiting for this one ☝️ 🤘
Great job LSXMatt !
It looks amazing. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth over doing. Nice job
Looks really good Matt.
👍👍Excellent work brother!🤘🤘
Excellent progress.
Freaking beautiful the way It came out dude
I give you credit for patience and your explanations are great on how to..
Great work! It's coming along
One heck of a job Bro!!
Kick ass Trans Am. Our build are similar - yours is just that much cleaner and better done than mine.
Fantastic work. Looks great
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I am glad your videos are as long as they are because you really do a great job explaining each step in your process. Bravo, the engine bay looks amazing. I would be a little nervous tearing down an engine bay like you did. How did you keep all the parts straight so you didn’t loose any?
Getting better with the editing man.
I have such respect for the work and attention to detail you do in these videos. Well, I saw in one of your videos, you arent married, so now it makes a little sense. The amount of time you must spend on 3 vehicles is impressive. I gradated HS in 1988, so you are working on 2 of the hottest cars of my HS years. Great job... you motivated me to get my ass out and clean the engine bay on my Suburban today. Looks great, though the wife, who is now working from home was not happy with the noise from my pressure washer...lol like I said, you arent married:)
Awesome video! I was thinking that it would be cool if you could do a cost break down at the end of the swap.
I'm jealous lol... I'm glad you changed your mind and went all in on the engine bay.
Wow! Well done man!
Looks good, like the satin black.
Looking good Matt! I disagree with the black cowl, i would have went blue and black on the moulding/screen for wipers, but hey.. Be sure to paint ya wiper arms also and re-spray the grille between them!
I had the same issue with mouse damage on my '87 IROC and I'm so glad I pulled the dash.
Nice job Matt !
In this episode of How It’s Made... 1986 Pontiac Trans Am.
Much love to the Firechicken. Looking sharp Matt.
Love your two car garage. I need to find somewhere like that.
This was awesome. I honestly though for a few that you were going to make this a KITT car. That blue looks very good. Nice to see this video
Ty for this video. I wasn't planning on doing my engine bay for my 59 Elcomeno. But you've convinced me to do so. I will be going throw all ur steps ty again. Iv subscribed an will be watching
Awesome job 👏🏻
good stuff! Nicely done.
Man you did a amazing job my bro 😎 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Awesome work! Love your cars especially your Camaro can't wait til your done with firebird.. what kind of front springs are you using for your Camaro? brand and measurements?
Idk why I giggle so hard every time the transmission falls🤷🏿♂️😂
