FULL BUILD: Restoring a '70 Chevy Camaro RS/SS

I just want to add a few tidbits of info for this build- I fought to do this Camaro for a couple years, the idea was shot down repeatedly because it was a “stock” restoration which means advertiser involvement would be limited. Because if this, there wasn’t much time allotted for the build, since we had so many other things we needed to show during the season. The entire build start to finish was less than 90 days. We didn’t have any “after hours” help, and also had to keep up with all our other obligations during that time. Tommy and I were stretched thin! And we didn’t have time to go back and fix anything later. I didn’t have the plastic clips needed to support the headliner rods, so I had half of what was needed to install it, plus I’d never installed one. We didn’t have a steamer to help install the seat Upholstry, so it didn’t look great. If I had the car I would re-do most of the interior, as I wasn’t happy with it at all. As for the hood stripes, they were done in about half a day, and I hadn’t had time to do any clean-up prior to the photogs grabbing pictures. The edges were cleaned up later, but the shots had already been taken. Overall the car was solid and well built for the limited time we had to do it! I would love to buy it and finish it the way I really wanted to. Oh, and yes, I did go back and seal up the holes in the fenders! Editors don’t always know what should be included, and what can get cut. Why didn’t I drill the holes prior to paint? Honest answer, I Forgot. This build was done in 2010 with only Tommy and I. We’re not perfect but we had a lot of fun and really tried to impart knowledge and passion. I’m running a shop in CA now, and love that these old episodes are still inspiring and helping people! Have an awesome day!

I'm sure I won't be the only one to say it, but PowerNation we really appreciate these full build videos. It's great to watch a project start to finish and not have to jump around from video to video. I really hope we see more of these in the future!

You should do this with all the builds. I watched it from start to finish.

I didn't realize I needed the therapy this show provides.

this is great, having all the episodes of one particular project consolidated into one show !

Rick Bacon is one of the most American names I've ever heard

There’s just nothing like 60’s & 70’s American muscle cars. They’ll never look as good again as these designs. They just look SO cool. 🇬🇧

At last , something whole and in chronological order

This is amazing, Absolutely no fake drama

This has to be one of the smartest things Power Nation has done in years is to make a full build out of all the episode's. Can sit down with my boys and watch the whole thing back if want to see what it looked like to start with in different areas.

I love this show. No drama. No politics. Just grease, metal, cars and southern accents.

This is how a car show should be made. All car, good information and no drama.

You had me at “we’re swapping it with a manual”

These guys really know what their doing. They are true artists. Deepest respect!

Wow can you guys keep doing whole builds in a single episode i love the whole episode

I am actually a Mustang guy, but I’d be dang proud to own that Camaro...

These guys make this look soo easy! I've watched this video many times, and now I have a 1973 Z/28 to restore :D

That's interesting that for 2 years the 396 was actually a 402.

“Did you put Diesel in this?” I was about to lose it 😂

I haven't seen power nation since like 2010 on free cable. I'm glad they evolved and now have a YouTube channel. SICK
