Lou challenges himself with some very difficult body fabrication and repair on what little we salvaged from our ’67 LeMans body.

good job but to be definitively efficient, you should put grease everywhere. grease et the only thing very efficient against rust. put grease between metal and carpet, inside door, behind bumper, behind (inside the car), behind the repairs you can make (everywhere inside hidden ereas – instead of using paint), hollow areas (necessarily hidden, so no need to be aesthetic). For rear wings unreachable with a paintbrush, use an extender and poor old oil everywhere each year.Handyman Experience – 35 years. From france
How do I buy the dvd of the full build???
Wish they show how to do this stuff without 100k in tools
Good stuff. Working on my 66 chevelle. My left glove finger did the same as yours too.
This was probably the best inspiration I’ve seen to do all the work myself
Nice job. I just did the same car. floor boards front, back, trunk, upper dash and some structural. Great video
The best episodes of Muscle Car are the ones that don’t sound like a half hour commercial
After stripping my car, found out just how much I am over my head. After a long day and a long shower, open youtube and for some reason this popped up. This gave me inspiration to keep going after being so demoralized
I remember watching this back in 2007 on SpikeTV. One year before I bought my 66 Pontiac, so I was pumped for the LeMans episodes. It’s amazing how times flys. Too bad Lou didn’t stay on the show.
Well goddamn this is pretty old because Tommy looks like he should be at a Nirvana concert LOL
This build is awesome and Lou has skills, Where did he go? Off to bigger and better things i hope
Thinking of jumping off that cliff of re-doing a 70 gs .. I've never done body work.. I can weld .. but rusted out panels look overwhelming..
Ese es Tomás Bujes? 😎
Great patter…..script makes the medicine go down..lol
Lou: "Come on boo boo let's get with the program."
Lou was my hero. They don’t make them like him anymore.
Holy shit look at Tommy 😄
Can you do this at home? LOL.If I invite Lou over
I love watching metal art and I miss Lou
Ummmm that’s not a Le Mans🤦🏻♂️
Lol misspelled diploma
"Peanut butter and a poodle"….
Coffee all over my living room..
I miss Lou great man know his stuff for sure
(LOL) I hadn't realized Tommy started out on this show when he was a long haired pup.
this is what need mentor like this man
I love Lou he’s like the Tracy Morgan of muscle car restoration
What year is this from! ? I feel so old. Ka🇨🇦😊😊😊😊
One trick to prevent warpage due to overheating: put a wet cloth over hot surfaces.
Great welding basics keep up Puerto Rico is in
I'm looking for the B vs C pillar comments.
This guy is annoying…content is great but his “sing song” delivery and shitty humor gotta go..Btw, why the hell would anybody put this time, effort and money into a Pontiac Lemans?
This was an awesome show back when Lou was hosting it. The guy that replaced him is just a wet noodle. I think his name is Rick and he’s really boring.
Bring Lou back!!!!
dude ur a hack, have no idea what your doing.
3:01
He said hard on.
Hard work to do that stuff , vac blast all welds or it will pop later 💪🇺🇸
Nice work! A full quarter panel would have eliminated most of the issues you had – unless of course, only the skins were available at the time. Nice fab work though. Work on these old beasties long enough, and at least some fab work will be required. Especially if the car is one that you cannot buy the whole damned thing out of a catalog. Like a Cadillac or Lincoln.
nice pointers here. Its not like it used to be trying to study pictures from a book, asking grumpy body work guys how to do something.
This has gotta be..what , 10yrs old🤔
Another more commonly used method used in bodywork was lead, rather than brazing, but you know, here we are in the modern day and health concerns and yada yada yada.
Damn I remember this episode, used to watch this every Sunday. Like you guys reposting these old episodes, I learned so much from all these guys.
Great video! I love learning new skills and yeah, making mistakes is all part of learning. My girls like to remind me, "Dad, practice makes progress." Thanks for the inspiration.
Friendly tip if you're interested: Don't wear gloves when you're using a bandsaw, table saw, or other moving part machine. Too easy to get it caught in the blade and it will then suck your hand through the machine. My friend's dad lost half his hand in a saw accident because it caught the tip of the glove in the blade and sucked the rest of his hand in before he could react!
Is it me or the B5 blue looks different than the modern B5 blue color?
