Any restoration will require the removal of dings and dents, in addition to shrinking and shaping metal body panels. The Dent Fix Maxi is a 220 volt single phase dent pulling station that has the ability to shrink, pull dents and creases in one station. It is a great replacement for drilling holes in panels and using a slide hammer. This is one tool that is used on every car in the V8TV shop!

Now that the 490 big block for our '68 Camaro was running, it was time to install our stainless steel MagnaFlow Exhaust Kit. They make a kit that fits a stock '68 perfectly. Due to our Detroit Speed Quadralink rear suspension, we knew we would have to make some modifications to the tail pipes to fit around the reproduction stainless fuel tank from Classic Industries. Fabricator Nick Doerr made sure the exhaust was fit tight under the car and used our HTP Tig welder to finish the job. Now we have very nice stainless steel exhaust system that looks as good as it sounds!

In this final video of our 4 part engine build series for our 1968
Camaro, "Reloaded", we're gonna take a step back and talk about the
parts that make this motor run. First, We do a resistance test on our
MSD plug wires. We also discuss our FAST EZ EFI System and show you just
how easy it is to set up the FAST EZ-EFI ECU and EZ-TCU. And finally, we fire up this
big block and the Camaro moves under its own power for the first time in
25 years!

In this chapter, we'll show you the engine build for our 1968
Camaro, "Reloaded". This time we'll be dropping our motor into place and
installing the TCI Super Street Fighter 4L80E transmission. We'll also
take you through the steps of putting in our Be Cool Radiator, making
MSD plug wires and setting up the MSD Digital E-Curve, plumbing the fuel
lines using Earl's Hoses and the Eastwood Flare Tool, installing the
FAST EZ-EFI throttle body, and putting Royal Purple fluids in everything.

To improve the steering of our 1955 Thunderbird we decided to install a
Flaming River Rack and Pinion Cradle Kit. We also used a Flaming River Steering
column to finish off the steering system. Next, Trevor modifies the
brake/clutch pedal assembly to work with the Hydratech brake assist booster's new
location on the firewall.

The motor we are using for our Thunderbird is the new Coyote 5.0 from
the 2011 Mustang. In this video we'll show you some of the cool features
of the 5.0 motor and the Richmond 6-speed manual transmission. We're using a Centerforce clutch and a Quick Time Bellhousing to mate the two. The 5.0 does not have a power steering pump, so we're using a Turn Key Engine Supply Road Runner serpentine belt system, power steering pump, and pulleys.

Our '68 Camaro "Reloaded" was primed and sanded, and now body tech
Nathan Newberry applied several layers of BASF epoxy sealer to the car
followed by Glasurit 55 Line Polyester Base Coat in "Silver Bullet"
silver. Here's the process he took to make sure the color went down
properly.

Once all the sheet metal had been put back on and the gaps had been set,
our Camaro was ready for body work. Nathan covered each panel in Marson body
filler, then sanded them down to reveal high spots. He also took some
time to shape the fiberglass hood and wing. Once he was happy with the
shape of the car, he covered the whole thing in BASF Glasurit Sprayable
Body Filler. After some more sanding, the car was ready for primer. Next
time, sealer and base coat!
