      You can see how quickly
      It can be done too. So those few minutes are well spent to make it look a step up then the rest.

    Another detail that goes above a beyond. I will be looking at those scoops on show cars from now on. Great tips to be used on spoilers too. The bird is looking great.

      I do like attention to details! I have already patched up the spoiler for this car as well used the same process

  • @firstgenerationgarage2803

    Great video brother all these little details are what makes a car a show stopper. I'm learning a lot. My next build will be a Trans Am clone. Thank you for sharing your knowledge this is excellent 👍

    Great content Jon. I am hoping you will eventually do a segment on the "tubes" that run from those scoops to the air filter. I have looked and found noting on CZcams U on how that whole ram air system really works.

    • @VinylVillageGarage
      @VinylVillageGarage  Před 10 dny +1

      That's the plan! I have the tubes and all the ram air parts in a box already to go. I have yet to find a Kit that has all you
      Need as well. So part of the video will include all the parts you need to assemble it as well

    I wish that mine had been done that way! Same profile as you started with. I haven't seen a factory version in along time and can't remember how they fit. Does sanded fiberglass not make you itch! Laughing! Great Job! 👍

    • @VinylVillageGarage
      @VinylVillageGarage  Před 10 dny +1

      From what I have seen the factory ones are more level with the hood like that finished product. I wish I had found these
      Fiberglass ones when I did my car, I don’t like how they stick up on mine. Fortunately I don’t have a reaction to fiberglass.

  • @chrismansker8870
    @chrismansker8870 Před 11 dny +1

    installed mine when i fit them and did the glass work while they were installed

    • @VinylVillageGarage
      @VinylVillageGarage  Před 10 dny +1

      Yup that’s the way to do. Test fitting every thing is important

  • @user-fk5dl6cs3q
    @user-fk5dl6cs3q Před 11 dny +1

    Jon, I'm going to start calling you "Mr.Wizard". I thought at first, you just ruined the part (sanding through it). How did you foresee the way it would come out? Great video!

    • @VinylVillageGarage
      @VinylVillageGarage  Před 11 dny +2

      I did the same thing to the side fender extractors on my trans am, I hated how they looked and fit. The way I saw it was I had nothing to loose because I wasn’t happy with the way they where, came up with a plan to rough the shape in and go from there. Seems to work and now it will look way more gooder. 😎

    Hey I just picked up a 67 Camaro and I’m kinda lost on where to start, it needs inner/outer rocker panels replaced and toe board and subframe mounts replaced also any help would be appreciated

    • @VinylVillageGarage
      @VinylVillageGarage  Před 8 dny +1

      I have the great pumpkin series on CZcams it starts with doing rocker panels then floor and toe boards wheels wells. It shows a lot of good info on what you are looking to do.

      @EvanDexter-y5k Před 8 dny +1

      Thanks I feel less lost now and I’ll start with cutting out the outer rocker and then move to the inner rocker and then the toe board

      @VinylVillageGarage  Před 7 dny

      @@JazenAlldredge cool right on! As for t-shirts if you ordered it from CZcams/teespring they print to order and I don’t have any control over that. I only supply designs they manage the rest. Normally 2-3 weeks for delivery.

      Ok thank you. I’ll let you know on the hood pieces soonest. Have a great day.
