Fixing Brakes on a '68 Camaro: Hillbilly Engineering to the Rescue!

- There have been some hillbilly fixes in the shop but today might be next level. In our efforts to keep the cost low, we have to work with what we got when it comes to the braking system... and that is assuming any of it works at all.

Ohhhhhhhhh - LOVED the "seize the moment" comment!
Good one, Danielle!
Bringing up the calibre of the channel, one jibe at a time.
Looking at this car when you fired it up to test for brakes, I think it is amazing what you took from a pile of rusty pieces and came up with - 2 Camaros - running and driving. My hat is off to you, man.. 🇨🇦
Whoever buys the Camaro can clean the glass !
Dan is putting it together for whoever wants to buy it can do the cleaning of glass !
Fabricoble: My absolute FAVORITE style of building stuff.
Primer is designed to absorb the paint ! Which means it absorbs water ,oil an everything else.
Yes it is very porous
Never use gray primer if your not going to paint it right away. Use red oxide primer .It won't rust through.
@adammamayek6237 doesn't matter the car is rust free & for sale, it's the next guys problem
Next guy or gal can use it as guide coat when they block it and do final body work
I love Camaros. I think you did a hell of a job on that car man. Hell of a job
As a lifelong bow-tie lover, I could not IMAGINE living near Dan & Danni.
*hears a noise , *drops dinner silverware…
“…C’MON, HUN!! Dan’s pulling something out of his grrrrage!”
Fun times.
The madder Dan gets, the more Danni Pokes him!😂
Not even remotely a Camaro fan, but happy to see an abandoned pile of parts become a car again for someone who is.
Well done, love how you save these projects.
The larger reservoir is always for the front brakes
Dan, Daniel my brother!! Outstanding job!! Out-freaking-standing!!! Great job! That door not latching would drive me nuts, but that's just me! Chevelle time!!! Signed - Your friend, the Cancer guy! 😊
You guys are killin it on the vids. Great teamwork !
N A P A , No affordable parts around!
Perfect!
I guess I’m stupid but I like my napa store in Elora Ontario
Dan I believe the guy that made an offer said he would buy it if it run drives and stops so it can get on the trailer to take home. I would probably buy a master brake cylinder and put wheel cylinders in it and charge a little more
Your Hot rod Camaro is looking awesome indeed. Running and driving too. Keep up the great work.
Great job Dan!
Excellent work guys🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
This video reminds me of the early days of DD Speed Shop. Now, Dani is so good bleeding those brakes. Oh yeah, so glad you washed those windows. Cheers!! 😎
It’s ready to be released into the wild, good job,young man!
Dan, you really look good with that Camaro! Daniel looks really good with it too. Plus, with so many people out here being Camaro fans, keeping the Camaro around for a while could increase interest in your channel. Just sayin...
We need to see Dan’s curly hair routine
Hate to tell Dan the overspray on the windows wont come off with rain 🤣 neither will the runs 🤭
love the current build
❤ I love your videos, awesome content😊
Looking better and better every day might be a keeper DaN just like Danny a keeper haha ❤❤❤❤
I hope you get good money for that 68 . Good luck Dan
The port on the back of a brake master cylinder, closer to the firewall, usually operates the front brakes. The port on the front of the master cylinder, near the front bumper, usually operates the rear brakes
On a drum drum car it doesn’t really matter since it’s 50-50 break pressure/flow.
Alright, alright, alright !!! So, drink JOYBURST !!! It keeps your brake technician happy, even in the rain, LOL !!! She starts, she stops, she`s ready to go on the auction block !!! Rave - On Danni and Dan !!!
Come on man how much are wheel cylinders $7
❤ A full gas tank is flammable.
An empty gas tank is highly explosive.
Gas burns
Gas fumes combust
Good luck selling it DD. Closer to your dreams. Well deserved.
P.S. Fabricobble is my new favorite word. Fits at least some of my work too. Like Derrick from VGG said..."If it works, is it really a bad idea?".
Let's move on to the next ride 😊
Dan the floor pan man that was a great video the camero came out nice. Looks good with those wheels.
Hey Dan and Danielle, Dan you have a hell of a great helper. Danielle does a good job when it comes to bleeding brakes. Also, I seen that she's pretty strong when you two put that other rear end in the 67 Camaro. She lifted her side up like it was nothing. You both work together good. Love your channel, cars, all your videos and Danielle. Take care and be safe.
P.S. I still would like to know what you want for your 47 Chevy.
I think he said less than 10 thousand.
I thought I saw it listed for 8k but don't hold me to that
Thanks for sharing this video with us
You forgot to say "it is what it is"!
car looks AMAZING ,brought back from the grave would kill for this car
You’re lucky with the wheel cylinders! My ‘66 Caprice has the hook /loop over the top bolt, style. Not the two bolts behind where the brakeline and bleeder is. Like EVERYONE ELSE HAS!!! 🤘🤘😂😂
great work mate
Great job buddy but primer is supposed to absorb paint and will absorb grease the same.
GOOD JOB U 2!.... YA INTERNET PEOPLE ALWAYS RIGHT........NOT!
Mr Clean Magic Erasers gets the oil finger prints off great!!!👍👍
Really like the black out front head lights. Too bad not street legal or at least in Tennessee. Reminds me of drag racing at Formosa raceway in central California. I Liiiiike it.
Great vid Guys
Awesome guy...car is great
It must be raining there it sounds like it's downpouring.It's raining here too. 😬😬
I posted before. About the reciever hitch. I was wondering if you want it. I'm in WPG
Luv u guys
Great stuff 👍
Let’s gooooo. It’s time for another good video 👍👍
Just a little piece of information. I know from having a Napa in house at a former employer. Napa marks up items 2-300% in most cases and they also go out to the 3rd decimal point in pricing to get that extra cent out of you.
I didn't lose my mind that you didn't clean the windows,I've been watching you along time that would be a rookie assumption lol.Seriously though Dan AMD should sponsor you, no one replaces more sheet metal than you.
Dude!!! Brakes R us!!! Great job!!!✌️
Man that car is looking good wish I could afford to buy it great job you guy's
Man your pal Mortske just scored a bunch of tri5 stuff he paid peanuts for. Maybe you can get his lazy ass to ship you some you need. LMAO great car even though its a battle. The best shit dont come easy..look at your woman hahaha... gotta be $20k now
"Some weirdo up in Canada likes this stuff!" 🤣✌
Good job
Now it's ready for a cage, QA1, etc. ... nice
That’s a good looking cam a row
Cool car brother I liked that nova and corba
Use a cupped head drywall nail. Cut to about 1/2 inch long, remove line at master and insert, reconnect line . have done this on side of road when line popped
Yeah Napa has always been over priced but they have some hard to find stuff and they usually last longer 😂
In my area NAPA stands for, never any parts available!
In Australia, we plug rear breaks.
Thats a nice water bottle box sorta thing haha 😂
A field kept parts car originally, then rebuilt from left overs out of the initial project car is a pretty nice bonus Camaro Dan. You keep hinting about new digs on the horizon are you close to finding something?
NAPA valley CA prices at Napa auto parts!!!!! NAPA Valley would be appropriate 💰 ‼️
If this car came with standard drum brakes all the way around, and the lines are 1/4 inch lines it really doesn't make any difference which line is for the front brakes or the rear brakes although the standard is usually the front of the master cylinder is for the front brakes. There is no proportioning valve as there is no reason for one if you have drum brakes all the way around. There is of course the block where the brake light warning switch (the one that warns the driver if they lose brakes on either the front or the back and of course there is no total brake failure as the dual master cylinder is the design to enable the driver to have at least some brakes (imagine what would have happened when I had a brake hose fail on my 56 Chevrolet and the pedal went right to the floor, fortunately I was not going too fast when that happened and I was able to stop the car with the emergency brake handle). If you just want to only have rear brakes plug off the port on the master cylinder that feeds the front brakes (I generally used a fitting with a partial line and brazed it shut. This will isolate the feed to the rear brakes. I purchased a 72 Chevrolet 4wd truck and it was pulling real hard to one side on the front brakes. Well when I went to investigate I found that someone had blocked off the passenger side line with a small nail and of course it disabled that caliper. Years later when I was a RPS P&D Contractor I used the company van (mine was down for repairs) This braking system was a four wheel disc brake set-up and the rear calipers were metal to metal. Well I remembered the "nail trick" from before and hobbled down to my shop and blocked off the rear brakes and just used the front ones. Of course I took some tools with me in order to remove the nail when I finished my route and I gave management hell for not having a complete brake job done on that truck (the coordinator who sent that van out for brake repairs really did not know what he was doing). Really the things people do.🥸
I wouldn’t trade my 69 for every car you own and I’m not being mean I just really love mine. It’s hugger orange factory 4 speed and it came from California LOS plant and it was used in a bank robbery in California and they caught them here so my car is an Outlaw it took me 25 years to get it and I’ve had it 25 years so I love my ride. And I do what you do. Glad to see you save another one. Now give me a run down on that one. What is it I see the AC dash.
Good work. Dan. Didy
Dan! Only you can think of doing something crazy like that! Switching the front master brake line to the rear! ,pug off the rear brake outlet! All the years , that was working on cars! I never seen it done ever! I'm not saying it won't work! I just never - ever seen anyone do it - WOW! what next - hook a straight line all the way to the wheel cylinder - from the master brake unit - AND YOU HAVE ONLY REAR BRAKE WORKING, AND AND NOW YOU ONLY HAVE ONE FRONT BRAKE WORKING! SO NOW! ONE REAR BRAKE WORKS, AND ONE FRONT BRAKE IS WORKING ONLY ! This could work!, but it's DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THAT CAR 😮 , AND THAT'S WHY I LIKE WATCHING YOUR CZcams CHANNEL 😮
I acquired a 1946 GMC 11/2 ton truck that was driven to Jacksonville Fl from Colorado back in the late seventies. Well the fellow that had it had installed an Oldsmobile engine with a TH400 automatic. He had mounted the master cylinder and booster up on the firewall and what he did was to convert the master cylinder lines into a single line feeding the brake system. Well after I acquired the truck I commenced to squaring away those brakes and found one (yes one) wheel cylinder that was not seized (on the rear brakes, dual rear tires). I split the lines and repaired all of the wheel cylinders (had to replace the rear cylinders) and retained the dual master cylinder setup with vacuum boost. Thing stops good now but can you imagine driving all the way from Colorado to Florida with one working wheel cylinder?
Why are you screaming?
1967 CAMARO in my opinion the the best looking out the rest had Nova's & Chevelle's
You think regular steel brake lines are hard to work with, try stainless steel, it is worse yet. :>)
Front is usually the back and the smaller reservoir
There are different grades of Dawn liquid soap, you must have grabbed the wimpy version, Danni is a pro brake pedal pumper.
That's going to make someone a nice project.
Yes Sir!!!
NAPA, the worst offender in the "switching parts" game, they seem to be the worst for their stores keeping boxes and putting substandard parts in then selling as premium parts! This goes all the way back to the 50s/60s!!
Can agree about Napa prices over here in New Zealand the gpc group aka Napa bought out or national parts chain (Repco) and now the price are through the roof
absolutely love this Camaro!! Sell it to me!!
Napa, way too expensive… but someone’s ( us ) gotta pay for all those racing sponsorships !!!
Fabracobble it!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fabracobble yes I do the same. I see a new DD t-shirt
what's with the dingle berry gloves?
If anyone hasn't seen all the videos, they would never know how it started out
Dan vs ‘68 Camaro Brakes, LETS GET READY TO RRRRUMBLE!
That's the problem with rattle can primer you buy some epoxy primer in a gallon can and spray it on yourself and it won't rust for years...
@VATION3RD doesn't matter the car is rust free, & for sale, it's the next guys problem
I call NAPA ,NASA, because the prices are out of this world ...
How much weight has ole Dansquatch shed?
Dan you need to put in the head lights❤❤❤❤
( )( )
❤gold one done done rider
It's Chooch ! 😊
1/4 in line for the rear
WHY ! MY MAN FAN- OF - DD SPEED SHOP! WHAT WILL HAPPEN,IF YOU SELL THAT CAR TO PERSON, AND THEY DROVE IT LIKE YOU FIX IT, AND ON THE WAY HOME - THEY,OR HAD A VERY BAD ACCIDENT 😮😮😮😭💰💰👎- CASE CLOSED! - FIX THE CAR RIGHT, AND SAVE YOURSELF - DON'T FORGET, THAT I LIKE YOU!
@JohnFunches-qu1zg first off calm down & quit yelling. Second he's said dozens of times over on all the videos on this car that's he's building it to be a running, driving project that whoever buys it can drive it onto a trailer
Tough stuff interior cleaner will remove grease from paint and primer .walmart is the cheapest
Come on Dan do the brakes!😎🤷♂️
Keep it
Car is pretty good actually needs lots of love and some parts. runs good. I lke it and they are not making 68 camaros anymore. Body is actually pretty decent and striaght. A great start for a build DIY Guy
Great job. Did Dani just say she hates camaros 😯?😲
Yes. I do not like them at all😅
Why even bother with the brakes if you ain't going to do it right. It would a actually lower the price for most buyers.You know better Danno. We still love u guys though😊
Raining wow n in California in high Desert here is 116 😢
Heat the latch up
