Inknow the video is old with terrible quality but you didn’t mention the door self adjusts the length of the tube that slides through the nut once the door is fully closed. Not sure why the repop on the drivers side has a rubber or plastic cover over the tube. I wouldn’t buy that one unless your suppose to remove it. Maybe it’s there to stop the tube from sliding in past the nut when it’s shipped. If the tube goes in too far then the light won’t turn off when the door is closed.

The audio during the first minute or two is rough. But this video gets much better and is Excellent information! The T-top info was unknown to me, great point about rust in the vIn # area.

Your hand blocks everything

Thx 👍🏻 Gonna have to order the middle piece, broken tab.

For me I would pass on cars with hatch roofs.

I buy it for 20,000 believe me is better than a woman 😅😅😅😅

On a 66 GTO the ends of the piping there is an end cap. He said nothing about that and how to fasten.

I ordered the bushings and washers

In 78 my cousin bought a gold 78 trans am with the 403 within a few yrs of winter driving, it showed alot rust.. He parked it for few yrs and rear trunk and frame section were just gone...beyond saving... The engine was great and trans.. Body fell apart. .

How much to restore 86 ws6 recaro tail lighs

i dont get what he is trying to tell us at 15:00 can you help me understand?

Beautifully informational video. After going through cars from all around the world, I just had to settle with American muscle. Sad to see that the prices currently are through the roof..

By far this is one of the best starter videos I've seen in a while. I'm doing an 1978 beautiful firebird. Jumped in with both feet

Thanks man. I'm going through my 1978 ta . Redo Love this car

was this filmed in the 90s? haha

Great information and incredibly helpful. I bought a 78 T/A 17 years ago. Finally got into restoring the suspension and found a subframe crack (we welded in a gusset for a solid repair) and multiple areas that indicated welding repairs. With the current costs of these, get it on a lift!!

So, did replacing the switches fix the dome lights?

Good video. I suggest that you use a "bungee cord" as a third hand to help support the headliner as you work it into place. It can work on T tops or regular roof style headliners. I'll confess I saw this suggestion on another video. Good luck.

I recently bought a 1977 Trans Am, the undercarriage is in pretty bad shape, but where I live it's only one a handful so you definitely can't be picky. Body freshly painted, interior restored, engine running nicely and fully registered good papers which is very difficult to find.

I sure hope i need your advice👍

This past weekend (3/27/2021) I inspected a 1969 Camaro Convertible (Hugger Orange, black top). The car spent its life in Illinois & had a 307ci engine with 175k miles on it. Also, it was had an automatic trans. The family selling it wanted $8,500. Probably sounds reasonable to a lot of people, however, the car had major rust and dent issues requiring all the body panels to be replaced and the windshield too (it was cracked). Although the car was very rare and highly desirable everyone who looked at it (it was at an estate sale) took a pass because the cost to repair/restore the car would far, far exceed the restored value. Bottom line, don't fall in love with a car, consider the amount of work and the cost of the work needed before opening up your wallet. My two cents...

Thank u Brother very good video with good advice thanks 🙏 again 😎👍

vaccum that car, fill that tank and shut your pie Hole

As a late 80s, early 90s high school kid, these were everywhere for 600-$900, I had several. Dang

Missed the part on how to cut out the sun visor mounting point. otherwise a good video

Exactly, leave them for me to restore ! Thanks in advance.

The video would have been a lot better with a clearer view of the mechanicals involved instead of all those closeups of your hands, hiding the actual work behind them.

These F bodies. Some look great. The body might look ok. Then you look underneath it and find out that the rear subframe is all rusted out. Alot of Novas get rusted out rear subframes too. There's companies that manufacture new GM rear subframes. most guys I know,Well don't plan on welding a new one in,in your driveway. Also if the tilt steering wheel is loose. Those can be expensive to fix and difficult to find a good one.I knew a guy who was a pro at fixing those. But he sadly passed away a few years ago. I don't know anyone whose good at fixing those anymore. I've owned 2 gen 2 Camaros in the past. These cars can hide alot of rust damage and they aren't cheap to fix. If you can even find a good competent mechanic where you get quality work. Beware of shops where you drop off your car and the $$ THEN it sits there for months and nobody's even working on it. They're out there. I know a few people that happened to. Then the shop disappeared one got raided by the IRS. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this car. This car looks really solid. Hood isn't really a big deal. If you have to,you could always get a aftermarket cowl hood.

Wish this had been available 25 years ago.. bought a beautiful 81 Camaro in Rallye Red.. washing it one fine day I noticed a bubble on the quarter panel the size of a dime. Decided I needed to fix it before it got worse... 🤣.. turned out the entire bottom quarter panel was Bondo. I had no quarter panel left when I finished removing rotten Bondo🤣

Addaded

This is a great video, thank you for doing this

"never buy a rusty car" i rather have a rusty car than a electric car :)

cant understand what you are saying

Why is this turbo trans am so raggedy looking. Not to be rude or anything but what happened to this cute car to look so beat up?

Are you guys still in business? I just bought a 1978 z28 and needs some work :)

If you really want to know all you need to know run you're fingers along the pinch weld of the rear quarters, most cars I've checked are caked with bondo, If the body isn't right, the car isn't worth shit they made too many of these cars to not buy a decent example,me personally the roads were littered with these things when I was young so I really don't care, people forget how big and heavy the doors were they eventually all sagged!

Trans am exelente nave

Also under the hood right infront of the window the little path for water will rust through and leak into the car

What the Hell is all that back ground noise!!!????

15 year old me would have benefitted from this video. My first muscle car was a 74 firebird esprit, looked sweet to me, traded my old f100 farm truck for it and drove it home. Literally every single panel on the car was rusted and covered up with plumbers foam, chicken wire and bondo. And when i say evrey panel i mean EVERYthing. Trunk was totally rusted through in multiple spots, trunk pans, quarters, fenders, firewall,. Starting it's restoration this winter, wish me luck

Is it disrespectful to check a car like this that looks really good at first look and at a dealership?

I think a lot of these cars came from the factory with bad gaps. The f body doors weighed a lot. Long heavy doors which will sag over time. I don't like the gap from the body line up where it meets the passenger fender. Looks way off. Could be the camera or angle.

Really informative video! It's nice to have people, that take time to educate others on these things. I wish I saw this, back when I traded in my really clean '63 Buick Riviera for a rust bucket '72 Firebird. Although, I don't think it would have swayed me from doing it anyway. So bad was my craving for a real muscle car. The one I got, was rusted in almost all of the places mentioned here. A-pillars, dash panel, floorboards, rear quarter panels, rear valance panel, tail light panel, trunk floor, rear window surround, trunk lid hinge panel, rear sub frame rails... A lot of this was hiding under a coat of paint and bondo. I welded almost all of it, but eventually got fed up with the car sitting as a bare shell, and I couldn't finish it (the usual story). I sold it off as an unfinished project, for way less than what it was worth completed. The new owner put it back together and it turned out really nice. It's the same thing with any other old car, but this video is really good for checking out a 2nd gen F-body specifically.

music is Annoying while trying to hear what your saying, might as well farted threw the whole video

You ruined your video with the music

Never buy a G.M. !
