The "Independence Chevelle" ENTIRE BUILD recap and REVEAL!

next time you see this car it's going to be complete and probably in florida [Music] [Music] 1972 chevelle hood pins that's nine horsepower smells like moldy raisin bran cereal and chex mix oh oh there we got mold growing in here moss get her that way this girl she's been expertly worked on a couple times i i mean it's it's a start look at the seat though got the sweep gauges the nhra racing gauges this is 16 horsepower same time there see that's easy we got turnage well this operation is looking sharper than a thumbtack in third grade these lightning hoses are drier than betty white's back so i'm just going to put this back in and pretend that i didn't look at it for now here we go cranking i'm just going to use a skosh laughing gas and see what that does she fired that kind of hurts to hold and if you make noises with your mouth it's almost like you're using you know an angle grinder or something all the people coming up to me going why are you even trying to get this thing running i just say america is that a plan am i making a point i can't believe it we need a fine adjustment nothing does she need more adjustment maybe she's running like a scalded coyote this lap music so i think it's time we try the transmission out oh yeah we got reverse oh solid drive she's a good unit i got a set of tires coming kind of like putting a prom dress on a pig but this thing will look sharp typically i'm into the diesel oil because it's got more dinosaurs and vitamins in them you know and i don't mind wrapping myself around a telephone pole at high speeds but this thing comes apart like a pop can on the interstate and someone else gets hurt i don't like that too much at all like i always say if you're handed lemons trade them for whiskey far too easy which means no brake shoes left oh there she flows oh not on the concrete maybe if a guy buys room service they'll kind of look past this it's about a one oogadooga on the elbow meter [Music] i got brakes like you wouldn't believe [Music] generator lights still stuck on i don't like that [Music] there's a little jiggle jiggle on the headlights and i got both units up and running god wants to save on these for your core charge there we go over there just snag it on i think it's about time we throw these not-so-gooder tires on and they get jigglier than john goodman's neck that's when you know you got an issue going on but there's the nuts on this thing oh yeah well that's a nice trim ring i've forgotten about that frame until right now i got to get my supplies and i'll show you how to do it what you're gonna do is just get this and get it in here and you know get this from that side and then okay make sure it sticks now fixed now she's just dripping with chrome i almost forgot to check the uh break and coolant checked all right now we're ready the smell is getting worse in here it's like branding cattle and fresh cut grass speedometer works been going for a few hours now hanging in there it's actually starting to run you got to be delicate on these older units especially these metal ones come on now why can't anything just run oh yeah i buy straight garbage that's right look at that let's bring her all the way up forgot to take the plastic off the cheese so you're going to get your 12 ounce frame checker just check you know get it in here [Applause] scanning tell us oh that's great that's great [Music] but as suspected the frame's got more holes in her than bonnie and clyde so there she's shot it runs but it's like a one-legged man tap dancing it just doesn't sound right this custom hood prop you know she's made for chevelle's but oh yep bring the thunder nothing [Music] i shut her down i got a water neck leaking everything is just bound up in here she's running richer than oprah and that's okay [Music] some people like to do this with the engine running and i don't i mean it's messier than mariah carey live [Music] [Applause] it's like garth brooks once said it's the roar of a sunday crowd nice lady named ronda reached out to me on the face space page there and i'll be dipped if this wasn't her ride back in the late 80s early 90s her kids grew up in the thing her daddy actually built her the car in a budget like all of us do and let me tell you what fellers this thing looked good back then i mean she had shine and the wheels and the whole nine yards he did a good job but it just screams 70s 80s i think we'll just scoot the plate over top of that and then there's another one back here this is actually a giant plug weld over here is going to be awfully handy cleaned and prepped up a little bit more and i took a grinder so i clamped this into place and took some heat and got her hot and don't go jessica elbow with it just you know that's enough grabbed the tonya harding and i just kind of persuaded it in there and i'm willing to bet that's going to be pretty darn close she's going to hold smells like burnt meatloaf oh that's my face [Music] [Applause] he's all buttoned up [Music] get out of here [Music] wow no you can go more than that there we go [Music] pretty clean in there [Music] welded in 350 transmission out of it this is going to be our core [Music] a couple guys got her pretty well cleaned though and i did feel antivirus enter my body about four times [Music] i've got the hoop welded in here down to the frame [Music] and well i did end up finding some sort of magnetic and then just i'm already blinder than a one-eyed bat and i'd like to keep some of that tire smoke you know out of the cabin as long as i can putty knife and got most the other crap out of there i didn't just [Music] this thing's looking holier than the pope this is [Applause] [Music] standing and slowing your tv and i understand [Music] yeah that's way too much perfect yeah i said surplexed it's surprise and perplexed i got that painted up idea what this is gonna dry like [Music] this is a slipperier slope that keeps getting slipperier you're not subscribed you need to do that right now also hit that bell thing that does something it is hotter than a 1980s madonna in here and i ain't kidding you just yeah oh there's been fire and some words had and some blood and i can't believe this mickey mouse stuff [Applause] [Music] [Applause] span this is just getting expensive [Applause] you're not gonna believe this but these bushings are bad so i don't need any of this further them come on now just [Music] you know feather it in [Music] kind of like grenades you just got to get close one more i'll come in with that and why did i think i needed to roll this thing over here i'm just gonna stick these down i had to come back and sit in here and just [Music] tuck that bushing back in there take me who could do the town let's go with the poor uber [Applause] maybe sometime in the future i'll show you how to do an alignment with a piece of gum string two rulers and a hammer go on ahead and you do that by putting them in just get them started and just run that over the top here use your knee as a bump cushion put this on here just get a couple threads on get your fingers in here where you could really pinch them if a guy does want some extra safety because you are compressing a spring here in a way you can wrap your purse around here something like that i wonder what leanne ryan's is doing today oh yep over the spindle and that top bowl snipped right in there where's my what and then just bring her down i even just doll it up a little bit it's kind of like g funk era funked out with a gangsta twist boop so i'm gonna jump in here and just start i might have to fix this quick okay well that's fixed so now we'll move on and we can you know make all this just look brand new [Music] [Applause] easy that's expensive this is going to be easier to around in there but i'm just you know i'm that means really getting it in there and just kind of you know and it's good enough for what we're doing yeah that pulls it together pretty good actually and i do want this truck bed coating to stick longer than a felony take the old hair dryer over here and air dry it kind of put the look together it's going to be about something like this ish also in recent news it's negative 47 degrees why do i live here i don't know i gotta fab something to cover this off i'm just gonna scratch her up a little bit the rest of this i'll just do by hand all these corners you know what in the world has vince gill been doing he's just he's been quiet professional tape job if i've ever seen one goodness definitely not the color i wanted to make this process look better i'm going to let that red sit for just a minute more things then maybe i can clear everything today as well first of all just overspray on the glass but yeah for there this looks horrible perfect i mean no one's really going to see this right other than me so not too worried about it but and these look bad enough to be good it's my take a break 200. if you rotate it about 93 degrees now it's a door put her in her 9 000 about like that you know wow do i got a dead battery i can't have no good batteries you know oh i think i scratched the paint dang it i think if and a guy gets three or four wobble pops in and you know comes up to the car here you're gonna look at this not so much this is it i think we're just gonna it's up there but it's looking good so we have a to get in key or pin and you guys have helped make this possible as well by commenting liking sharing the videos and most importantly being subscribed to the channel so i appreciate you guys a ton none of this would be possible without your guys's support remember that one time in your dad's 82 camaro with bon jovi blaring and you're about ready to try your first power break at the four speed you know dump the clutch get your foot over there heart's just pumping except mine's full of garlic butter and beer i think a guy is going to take a knee here for a while we are now best friends i'm going to let this just soak for a minute and then i'll get in here and huge difference there we can actually see the cross hatch in better detail now 1200 ppm in it so can't go wrong there is also creating a little bit of a cushion for us take your time here and pay really close attention to your thrust bearing in the back here grit sandpaper and just clean up the cranks now there it was you want to tighten these until your c7 pops pretty stuck on there i'm going to put just a little bit of heat on here so it looks a little bit better this is a 10 bolt you can tell because it's got 10 bolts did i put some oil in this maybe before the trip home i musta let me know i'm always looking for new stuff well hey there little fella in case you've never been into a rear [Music] end [Music] guy's got to throw him in a grinder and [Music] just [Music] and on craigslist if you're searching for a car that means someone put in a posi they just can't find their seat tight height with no air in the shocks and i mean if you're not wearing a seat belt you're going to be laying on the steering wheel 100 70 style that rear end just locked up tighter than alcatraz you got those nice disc stop laters put on and got some air shocks so we can get some altitude out of this bad boy or red and white or leave it as is i'm building this car for us so i value your opinion bleep bloop it down there we can got it laid back in here again good enough for the girls we date shape and they can do this now we're back to bolting in the fuel cell here [Applause] there we go i just ran a zip tie down there just around a red zip tie along the return line all the way through this and on the extra well that's in it looks sharper than a toddler's toenails but blessed me i forgot to put the fill fill tray in here let's connect this quick cats throw a couple fittings on get this in place and then clean it you know it's the right way just yet well wiring i think yep it goes into the in the don't know what that means you know the whole town said that i should have used red but guess who it looked good too so i'm going to take my 16 ounce ball peen tanya 200 and we just want to really gently massage in the edges here after my third rusty deep cut i found these things that go on your mitts and they're kind of nice actually they got a machine that kind of makes a little that this lays over top and then we're gonna yes [Music] ford is just yeah i'm just gonna [Music] so [Music] let's just you know i meant digging so i put away my keira knightley one and traded it out for my shakira stand she's quite a bit thicker false positive is never good fillers especially in torques and pregnancy tests [Music] [Music] it's looking sharper than meryl streep's nose and i ain't kidding you [Music] listen it better be halfway decent faster but slower but easier well hey she's really starting to look like something yeah at this point probably put the water pump on [Music] so i got this guy dropped in and again this is just a cheap unit off of evil bay [Music] circulating some water here checking for leaks [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] this is that's tired [Music] it's such an awesome feeling that what we're going after here on the block [Music] i just can't believe it but i got to because i'm looking at it this thing looks absolutely amazing i could feel air just by turning this by [Music] hand that fits better than my hand in a cookie jar i heated her up with the window defroster down here got it to about 1.4 megan foxes and then she drove right on i just put like halloween plus meatloaf equals nine so hopefully andy can compute that i'll just hold the body on it just might stay on there them gm units work great they're just so big and i mean bigger than jlo's assets talking finances guys okay focus [Music] oh yeah not a mopar i'm just gonna spritzer flipper spritzer flipper spritzer flipper spritzer wiper painter here really quick and then we'll kind of start lining these up yeah yep oh okay so this here is already on my transmission slide-o-matic it's gonna ease it in oh we need a little we need altitude come on gerry [Music] come on back come back to me i've been on fire in that three times i got to keep it whoa easy my air hose coupling broke so i can't use my air jack underneath i got a what do i got in there bring her down oh one more time i think we got it there we go what have we got over here same story the old fingers are just pinched into the steering rod mounts are done if it works is it really a dumb idea this one can get you can get those at summit or evil bay or jungle website wherever you want to i'm going to check my angle before i get too carried away here so that o2 wire just comes down to that
