  1. I bought a brand new 1974 Camaro. Worst decision I ever made. That thing was an absolute DOG. It got 7 MPG on road or off, wouldnt handle …at all and it couldnt get out of it's own way…How disappointed was I!

  2. Hot tip for CA builders. In California if you spend more than the car cost on restoration, DMV will want to register it with a SALVAGE title. You should never let them know what you have done.

  3. We're going to stack all this money and work on top of a sleeved engine we got from a wrecking yard. Like there aren't enough of those motors lying around.
    I could never buy a car with a sleeved motor. Lots of cores.
    Where else did you beg off.

  4. This is a perfect example of why I hated powernation. Start off by showing what I turned in for: adding a new suspension. NOT how cool the dodge charger was, NOR how to clean the underside. Fortunately, they actually completed (not as well as it could have our should have been) the suspension system. But oh my goodness, it could / should have been so much better without the 2 irrelevant segments in the middle!

  5. Polished turd on the Camaro. Put an Art Morrison complete subframe in it, pick your Wilwood brakes, Air Tech susp or whatever. Bring it into this century, its not a #'s car.

  6. I always liked the second gen camaros. My old tunnel ram 540 was so stable at 175 mph it was unreal. Not sure if that was good for the tko 600 to wing it hard in overdrive but oh well it was fun.

  7. 24 years to build his Charger R/T. Damn I was barely born when he bought it. Took me several months to build my 70' Firebird. Been sitting for 12 yrs. Mostly rebuilt the parts and r&r worn parts. Man I love driving her. Annoying thing about driving her. People always tell me "Is it for sale"! Never I reply 🤘

  8. Did y'all notice the crude falling out when they used compressed air tools LOL. I thought they cleaned it all out, I guess not. Plus they drilled a hole in the frame for the rear sway bar and did not paint it, rust, rust, rust.
