Ian, you are truly a sheet metal artist! What you've done to that 55 Oldsmobile and the hot rod fire truck is truly works of art. You see it - get an idea what you can do with it in your mind - have the talent and expertise to "make it happen". I stand in aw of you! I'm definately a HUGE fan of your RU-vid channel.
I think a third color used to bring out the pattern would have done the trick… A grey would have been classy, and setting off that work with simulated shadows would have kicked it up juuust right!
My dad bought the cars the same way and they turned out really nice when he was done especially the last 56 Chevy two-door hardtop that he ever did when he was done he was able to drive it in the parade😊
Damn I enjoy watching your videos, no loud blasting music, no listening to grinders and you talk! Yeah theirs guys that have RU-vid shows that play loud music and they never talk. Well thays the last I watch them. Ian dude your an artist through and through! Love watching your builds!!!
His gaps and shit and holding a piece in the air while cutting it gives me encouragement. Fingers grow back and chicks dig scars... "That '55 wasn't a restoration, it was a resurrection!" (just thought that up...)
You gotta be pretty confident in your abilities to start cutting up that henry j that's a pretty rair beast it looks so cool good work dude really you are something else
Hi Ian, Any reason you don't use lead instead of bondo/bodyfiller ?? My dad was an Oldsmobile man from 1939 until the last car he bought in 1980 with one exception. In 1954, the salesman at Barnabé (dealership in Montreal) talked him into buying a two door Chevy. My dad took it back six months later and bought a four door Oldsmobile. I remember asking him why. He hated those "barn doors". lol He was set in his ways. The car had to be an Oldsmobile, had to have 4 doors and a positraction differential. He told me that his cars never had to have the engine opened up. Take care.
Years after my dad retired I found out he was a real live rocket scientist. He never said a word. We all knew where ge had worked but did not know what he did.
Tell the man who does the pin striping, if he doesn't want the paint to have a skin on it, the best way to store the paint is to put the tin upside down 👎 lovely work by all of you 👍
Kaiser/Frazer Manufacture Made Subcompact Car" Henry J " About 1950/1954 I Believe 1952 Henry J Tail Light Up Turn Like 49 caddy Tail Light But Different . Kaiser Supply Vehicles To Sears Called Allstate . The Grill Was Different , Wheel Covers Had A Modified Letter "A" In The Center. I Was Able To Purchase Three Vehicles (1959/61 and sold Them $400.00 Each To Hotrodders (Drag Cars ) Bandits 12 O'Clock T38 Bill
My brother-in-law and his father used to paint cars and trucks and did their own pinstriping the shop was called truck colors his name was Gary crisp along with his father they had a shop in California and one in Oregon and they used to put little stick figure people chasing each other around on the car after they pinstripe it it was usually a guy chasing a lady it was his signature looked kind of cool
Re: rear quarter window opening: Instead of cutting the roof, why didn't you just move the bottom pinch weld inward, and add a strip between it and the contour on top of the quarter panel? It would have been a lot of less and easier welding.
i think the difference between the Henry J and the VW Bug roof chops are the VW maintains the same Radius. and the HJ does not ? i personally am a retired Professional Woodworker with mor than 35 professional years of building and installing Woodwork with a lot of Curves and Serpntine Shapes
So, I never did see the solution for the Rear Side Windows… He cut out the guts, and you cannot do a static window without a B Pillar… ??? It just looks like they have the windows Down the whole time!
genie non le mot ne correspond pas mais au contraire j'apprecie plus son cote décontracte et avec lui tout parait simple non je le dis et le redis c'est un artiste merci chef ..........
No way, I commented below about how nice it was to not have a bunch of music covering up the sound of everything else. Now the second half of the show is playing a bunch of loud wild music....huh
FFS, clearcoat the paintwork and re-chrome the badges and bumpers at least, or is the fillerwork so bad that the semi-matt finish hides it? Door Striker plates weren’t taken off or masked up so got sprayed yellow too and the underside of the bonnet and engine bay just look shit. He might fancy himself as a fabricator but he wouldn’t last 2 minutes at a proper Bodyshop 😂😂😂
The proportions seem off. Too much body, too little top. Some cars are perfect the way they are. Tri-Five Chevys look stupid chopped. Impalas look stupid chopped.
Man, what are you doing... its so rusty inside :-( thats sad, how can you even paint something like this, its bad, not even talking about the seats 😕how can you even say "it's finished" when its about halfway finished :-/
Used to watch this on Motor Trend on demand until they decided not to let anyone outside the USA be able to use it so to be fair mate this is the only way I can rewatch episodes and couldn't care less...
