That might not be the right way…….but it’s so much faster than the right way and as long as you’re not selling it and just getting it back out to have fun then it was 100% the right choice 👍
I love that old expression, perfection is the enemy of good. I have a friend that just gets so carried away with that last detail and I have to tell him Joe this is a flipper we have to put our tools away and put the for sale sign on it we can't just keep detailing it.
Great job Tony. More often than not to comment I often hear from young people wanting to get into the hobby is that it is way too expensive for them to be able to afford, it can be if you fall into the good better best trap. This is an excellent example of how to get into the old auto hobby without going broke. Not every hot rod needs A $10,000 paint job. You will have more fun with an old beater than you ever will with a show car. I am speaking from many many years of experience. My four-door beater 57 Chevy has been the most fun I’ve ever had with a old car. My show cars, not so much ....
Ever since you made mention of that primer (and i was finally able to locate a supplier) I've been using it for various projects. I was only able to get it in light gray or white...but that's fine. It works very well and the price (at least the last time I got any) was very reasonable. I don't recall if you have a paint shaker or not... but I was informed by a long time body shop owner he shakes his filler before using to make it smoother. I tried it to see if it would make any difference. I must say i was impressed and have been using that 'trick' ever since. No pinholes.... just nice smooth consistency.
I love the “Masking Tape” bandage on your thumb. LOL on that since I have done that myself. ( small pice of shop paper towel & masking tape ) stops the bleeding 👍😄👌😎😎
Looks like a princess auto spray gun that you are using. Great idea using the garbage bags to cover the wheels, I was using tire covers, but garbage bags much cheaper. You have had that car for awhile now, still looking great, nice to see the body work that you use to do in the past. Other than the minor run, body work looks great. Thanks for sharing.
I’m a fan. You have more than proven you skills however I love seeing real world work for beaters, daily drivers or second toy where other toys get the money. Making it “better” is what many can strive for. I like the diversity of you vids. I would love to see you do the Tremclad spray. Paint costs are stupid and single stage DTM can be a “ better” job for many. I would love to see your approach.
Hey Tony, I'll trade you a case automotive "Run Be Gone" for a marine case of "Rock Off"! I'll need it for my 52 Styleline Deluxe. Thanks for all the informative videos.
Hi Tony. Nice progress on the 51. I think it would have taken me a couple weeks to get that far. The way the black sanded down, you could tell it was pretty tough stuff. I wonder if you can buy that paint in the States.
what ever keeps her on the road for the next fella. too many good runners get taken apart and never get put back together because they are too far gone
Yeah Tony I need to get some of that anti run. Where do you pick that up 🤣 You Canadians have access to all that good stuff that we can't get here in America😂
From the online Oxford dictionary: "A soft, moist mass of material, typically of plant material or flour, applied to the body to relieve soreness and inflammation and kept in place with a cloth."
She looks terrible with the blue and black paint 😂😂 She’s looking good I think you’re going about it the right way instead of having it apart for God knows how long 👍
