I don’t always comment on your Video . But I always love watching your Video ‘s it’s a lot of work to do what your doing it should show how much you love to work with your hands building these cars back after they set for so long wish more people would get in it like it used to be 20 years ago. Love it

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

My dogs Jeb will be 8 years old on December 8th and ever since he was a puppy for his birthday we always took him to McDonald's and got him a Happy Meal😅

[@kdog7617]

Great job on the 1982 and 1978 El Camino brake and door panels and tail lights

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@so_icyboy5623]

Really look forward too watching your videos. I’m restoring a 84 el Camino and your videos have helped me out a ton.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks, glad to help.

[@BudFranks-fu9ye]

Love this channel. Watched the 72 Nova dash repair and it was on. Watched the Nova build been hooked ever since👍💯

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

Hello Lee, good to see you back.

[@bobepema355]

I used a piece of wood to hammer on my frost plugs in on my 69 Camaro ,worked great.

[@kevintaylor8092]

Looking good

[@RedWhiteAndBlueVideo]

When looking for the Bumper, station wagons from that era also had the same bumper and tail lights as the El Camino.

[@clunkersandclassics]

I know

[@entrim]

That 78 is looking good

[@seanspring8991]

Those top door panels turned out good. I'm enjoying these videos on the interiors. Keep 'em coming, I look forward to the dash repair on the 78. The 78 is going to be a sharp car when you're all finished. Thanks....

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@wayneprater8960]

That door panel top turned out great and the section that is wrinkled is not bad at all it’s hard to do when the cardboard is weak. Once you painted them it was hard to notice at all when installed. I love the combination of the ‘81 bottom and the repainted top. Awesome Lee!!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@VATION3RD]

Lee i enjoyed watching you last video with the time-lapse of you installing the 79's seat covers it was very knowledgeable.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@mikesawyer4707]

Hello Lee. What happened to your viewers you got some great honest content. You alway's have something interesting to say. We learn a lot from you. We hope your numbers come back. Happy birthday to Nikki. Catch you later.

[@clunkersandclassics]

They're probably not into the El Camino

[@williamlee8098]

Awesome work lee

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@Darryl603]

The upper panels turned out nice! Big improvement!
You can use a socket that fits just inside the outer edge of the freeze plug to set them in place.

[@williamjones9099]

Awesome progress lookin good

[@williamjones9099]

I think them door panels look so much better I wouldn’t beat your self up for those inner corners looks good

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@DanzigDemento]

Coming along good!

[@robertrich9053]

Thank you!

[@mikebarnes8908]

[@thomasdenton5204]

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@Razor6On3]

Hell yeah, another C&C vid!! Thanks Lee!

[@williamkost733]

Looking good, keep it up

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@MrMurraypants]

Lee, if that chrome door panel trim doesn't come in on time you could try fixing the old ones with that roll of chrome wrap i bought you, last year i think. It should be self adhesive. But anyway, everything is looking great with both el caminos. Can't wait for the epic paint job at the end. Take it easy and enjoy this cool Oklahoma weather.

[@so_icyboy5623]

I’m patiently waiting for the door panel chrome strip trim update.Mines are no good and also thought of the chrome wrap.guess we gotta wait and see .

[@clunkersandclassics]

next video after the dash repair

[@richball9576]

They are coming along great! On those freeze plugs I always use a socket that fits good inside them and tap them in. I know you don't have much room under there though.

[@wilenelson1810]

Excellent! 👻🎃💀🎃👻🎃💀🎃👻🎃💀🎃👻

[@frankgannon8907]

Great video the door panels csme out great!!!! I'm surprised your selling the white one and not keeping it being a real ss

[@matthewbegin3462]

Seats look great, that is how seat covers can be!!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@adriennefoley2906]

Hi sweet Nikki🥰

[@randymclean6210]

You can put the new freeze plug into the freezer for about four hours warm up the motor and freeze plugs will sild in bye hand sign. RDM

[@MrMongo107]

Clean the washer reservoir with cascade automatic dishwasher detergent and water! just put it in and shake
It removes discoloration and everything
My mother taught me that one!

[@longjohn77]

I had no idea! 👍

[@bobepema355]

You should put a oil pressure gauge on all your cars also.

[@bobjohnson8868]

The black one probably came with a v6 and the interior on the with one looks great. Only thing is when you paint the car the interior could get over spray on it

[@michaelbristol6467]

Like McDonald's I'm loving it baby! 😉✌

[@joebrock9784]

I would have bought one but I didn't know until I was starting watching your channel that you could do without him for that chief and that particular response from that I remember what the mail it is so if you could drop it back here in the comments or something or PM means that will be great you have time I know you're very busy

[@roberthood2352]

Like the channel and enjoy the videos. My only complaint is maybe explaining what your doing while you’re doing it rather talking about it before hand.but other than that love the content

[@brianmason2992]

Cool 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@joebrock9784]

A gauge cluster is the same as the 86 Monte Carlo I have one that I would send you just for the shipping Costco to see used it on the show a the channel end when you get a fixed up right

[@onegative8887]

I use brass freeze plugs. Idk how much difference it makes

[@rickkimble8634]

if you paint the carpet brush the pile in different directions between coats. youll never know it was painted.

[@deanguidry9940]

That water gauge may be ugly, but you can’t see it when you’re doing 80 down the highway with the hood closed.

[@brianhayden5134]

Should have froze your freeze plugs then take a socket the same size as the inner part and tap it in.

[@williamstidham2163]

Sounds like a great ideal, Will try it my self

[@wilenelson1810]

If the black one has v6 springs they mite be softer

[@clunkersandclassics]

you might be right

[@chimpfoos65]

Can you order a A pillar gauge pod for that they put gouges out of the way and are cheap in price

[@richardclemens6038]

You should make sure there's no anti-freze puddles it attracts animals and they drink it and then they die!!!!! Something about it attracts them

[@longjohn77]

I believe it was the glycol which tastes sweet. I think some or most brands of coolant now have an additive that doesn't attract animals.

[@bccev770]

Booo I'm first

[@jobu9224]

So your sponsor gave you 3 American-made ALU radiators and because they won't give you a fourth one in a year, you advertise that you will buy a Chinese crap knockoff of EvilBay, instead of encouraging your sponsor. How much Benzene have you inhaled?

[@clunkersandclassics]

they were not american made ALU radiators

[@reyreyes2884]

awesome work lee

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks 👍
