WHAT TO EXPECT
In the series, we cover the gamut of tools real guys would use in their shop. Everything from welders, plasma cutters, metal forming tools like an English Wheel, bead rollers, paints and more!
We get a quote from an Auto Restoration Shop on a repair like installing a new door skin. We buy the tools and supplies needed to tackle the repairs ourselves and see if we can beat the quote!
Mark is the veteran of the series, using his skills to fabricate his own panels on his 1966 Chevy Corvair, including replacing rusted floors pans and even a new door skin.
Cody is the newbie. An up and coming star at Eastwood, Cody has mechanical knowledge and has completed his fare share of motorcycle and jeep projects. His 1967 Camaro will be his first dive into restoring an American classic, utilizing Eastwood tools and AMD sheet metal while bringing the car back to life!
Randy is the project manager of the series, lending a helping hand when needed, but more importantly, keeping the fellas on task and under budget!

Good Job Cody ! Love watching the progress on the Camaro, truly my favorite Eastwood Series. Can't wait to see more of the body work !
Very nice video. Thank you for taking the time to make and post
That Eastwood guy commercial was cheese lol
At least it was intentionally cheesy lol
LoneRider lol 😆
It is looking great. Thank you.
Great, love the video, I am working on a 67. RS/SS 4 Speed, Mine is rough !
Looks like Bill hooked you up at AMD. He's a good friend.
Great stuff. What prep is needed to later paint over the rust encapsulator which is over many contours that are difficult to reach?
Can you guys add the link for the spot weld remover tool used?
love the series, keep it coming!
You should have welded the floor to the frame rails from top and use self tapping screws
Why didn't you brace the car before taking the floors out
On the amd metal panels they were black did you have to grid that coating off before welding or that coating is good to weld to.
Where is episode 9?
and you get a good arm workout using it!
I just found this series and so far I am loving it. what are the long term plans for it? it looks like it was a strait 6 car with a manual trans from the factory. I hope you plan to keep the I6. you don't see many I6 cars any more. everyone swapped them to big blocks back in my day, and the whole LS swap everything is over done these days. It would sure be cool to see a hopped up I6 under the hood in stead of a ugly LS. I would also keep the manual trans. those cars got decent gas mileage back then. I know you are a long way from paint, any ideas on the color? personally I think a metallic Eastwood Blue with a white bumblebee stripe on the nose would look awesome.
If you are removing complete flooring, 1x1 bracing should have been used. to keep the car from twisting and buckling.
where is the next one? looking forward to more please
Great stuff, but you have to be careful blasting sheet metal - i've seen it get warped to hell from sandblasting. A less aggressive media doesn't seem to cause any problems. Of course stiffer panels like rockers and floorpans wouldn't be an issue.
...I have the same motor cycle shirt as the guy at about the 6:30 mark
Will be this ever be finished?

Anyone know why they do spot weld instead of a straight bead all the way round
I assume to be "like the factory".
@@jdimeo1966 Factory and to not put too much heat into the panel and warp it. Spot welds are just better for this application also.
Just like LoneRider has said, to prevent warping. And also such a multiple points structure is just stronger, then one big solid connection.
What’s happened to the Camaro project?
No bracing of the body before removing the floor? Was there and movement ?
That car needs a good dipping for all that hidden rust you can’t see or get to without huge amounts of metal removal. Then a galvanized dip.
How did you weld thru the mastic? where you using a MIG welder? flux-core wire?
He's MIG welding. Not using Flux Cored wire.
@@eastwoodco Thank you.
No more videos??
Did you give up on the car where is the rest of the videos
funny...I was using a blaster like that in the early 80s... nothing new..
They didn't say it was a new design, it's the compressor that's the prototype.
No more videos? What happened??
Must have blown the budget....
My OCD didn't like this episode. Total hack job.
yeah all the work is sloppy, but thats the reality for many body shops out there. They will do the exact same job or even worse
@@johnadona3014 I agree, that's why I work on my own cars. I don't trust a shop to do work to my expectations. I over do everything and to perfection. It takes me longer than most to repair a car but my work is far superior and will not have to be done again. I've always been this way and won't settle for half ass work.
@@robertelee6712 Yeah i slowly realized this the only person that will do the job properly is you. If you leave this up to someone else they will not put that extra effort into going the extra mile to make it perfect.
Im about to do some floorboard and rocker repairs on my car. Knowing what people do out there and how they repair cars. It makes me sick.
There are very few who will do the job correctly
I’m about to attack this exact job in a month. Could you please inform me to what needed to be better in this video? I’m already aware bracing of the body for no body warping, but what else? Thanks
