Full Build: 1971 Chevy Caprice, Big Wheels, Big Motor, Loud Paint Job - Director's Cut

The Detroit Muscle team embarked on a mission, scouring through a vast boneyard, to unearth a gem — a 1971 Chevy Caprice. When we introduced "Fat Stack", as we affectionately dubbed our 1971 Chevy Caprice, it was abundantly clear this project would offer a distinct set of challenges. Every element– from the trim and body to the exterior and underside – demanded meticulous attention. Yet, after a year's worth of sweat and determination, this refined masterpiece hit the asphalt, commanding the attention of all who beheld it. This is not merely a car– it's an awe-inspiring spectacle that captivates every eye it meets. Our aim with this project was to craft something both powerful and arresting. Judging by the heads it turns on the street, we're proud to say she's a build done right. 0:00 - Intro 3:45 - Removing the Chassis 10:57 - Supercharged LS 29:16 - Fixing the Frame 39:47 - Suspension 1:00:07 - Paint Prep 1:08:42 - Candy Paint 1:31:41 - Undercoating 1:48:40 - Vinyl Top 2:21:47 - Throttle Assembly 2:45:20 - Clutch Pedal 2:57:28 - Interior 3:27:25 - Exhaust 3:32:28 - Payoff PARTS USED IN THIS EPISODE Advantage Lifts: Backyard Buddy https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23520_66291229274ee American Powertrain Systems: Hydramax Hydraulic Clutch Actuator System https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23557_6629147f68954 American Powertrain Systems: ProFit Magnum Installation Kit https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23522_66291246d8a53 American Powertrain Systems: Tremec T56 Magnum 6-Speed Transmission https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23521_66291237bbadf Continental Tire: ExtremeContact Sport Tires https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23564_662914d301470 Duralast: Duralast Heater Core https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23552_6629143c463b6 EBC Brakes: EBC GD Sport Rotors https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23528_6629128ff069c EBC Brakes: EBC RedStuff Ceramic Brake Pads https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23527_66291283bf81d EBC Brakes: Super Dot 4 Brake Fluid https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23558_6629148c8f8c8 FiTech: Fuel Pump https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23543_662913ab8e41c FiTech Go Fuel In Tank Fuel Pump https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23566_662914ea61486 FiTech: Hose Kit https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23542_6629139ff357e FiTech: Throttle Body Go EFI System https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23565_662914df6d74e Holley: EFI Terminator X https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23559_6629149a03e96 Mobile Environmental Solutions: Inflatable Paint Booth https://pntv.us/pn_pt_23541_662913934c5eb P.O.R.
