Blown away by your comment. Thanks you for taking the time to write us. So glad we can connect with people like you that are passionate about cars like we are! And that would be awesome, we’d love to have you down! What time period of cars do you have experience with? Thanks for commenting, so glad you’ve been enjoying the content and learning more.

@@LocoCustoms I’ve owned (3) 64 chevys, (2)-4 doors & (1) 2 door hardtop (1) 56 Buick special, (1) 74 Buick Apollo and back when I owned them I had zero knowledge about anything, and would become depressed thinking I could never have my car become nice because didn’t know how to do the work never being in a position to hire a shop for anything, I was an idiot and sold them, regretted it ever since. Honestly My hands on experience doing actual builds is very limited. But gaining knowledge on processes is something I’ve been doing for quite some time in regards to metal work, body work, learning materials and the order in which they are used, blocking techniques, knowing the differences inbetween different fillers and primers and their applications, suspension types, frame and suspension modifications etc.. I’ve just never had any opportunity to apply what I’ve studied on an actual build. I’ve been a nightclub professional for well over 20 years and didn’t realize until I took a hiatus how much being in that environment for so long damaged my mental health so this love I’ve had for cars my whole life I’ve now made my main focus. I am knowledged to know things like for example, gussets, fishplates, lightweight versus polyester fillers versus glass fillers, mig versus TIG versus flux, solvent based materials versus water based, pinion angle variations concerning lowered or raised suspensions.. etc.. and I have absolutely no ego, and I would love any opportunity to learn as much as I can absolutely. I’m trying to become proficient enough at enough things to have an opportunity to find myself my 64 convertible and do enough enough work for other people to where I can build up to owning one and possibly excel past the level of success I reached working in nightclubs, which when I stopped 2 years ago I was managing 2 clubs in Portland with a roster of over 40 people at each location, including vendors, contractors etc.. I’ve basically shifted my attention for details to car work because of those reasons I mentioned before. So again feel free to reach out to me at any time, my instagram is @wrongthingz and I’d feel blessed to contribute to any situation. God Bless . 💯 I don’t believe in grunt work, every job is important as it is crucial. Love goes out.

It’s always a good time at Skips. Thank you for watching Frank, we’re glad you enjoyed the video!

Amen. These patina folks I think just are afraid of making the sacrifice required to put in the work needed for a nice paint job, then play it off like they like the look of a rig being rusted out.. rat rods same thing, they’d rather throw junk on their ride instead of getting the required parts to do the job right.. they ain’t fooling this guy.. put in the work, make the sacrifice and show these classics the respect they deserve. 💯

Might just be a financial issue tho homie. Most people don't have 10k to 15k for a full paint job. Sometimes they go for more. So yea... just cheaper to throw some clear on it

@@demarques1911 understood, that being said I’m sure you have either seen or done amazing things with some cheap single stage, it’s the time involved in the prep is what most folks don’t want to bother with.. I’ve seen beautiful jobs get done with simple Restolium from tractor supply… and if a guy just got a old hood and practiced, he could lay something very nice and acceptable no doubt. 💯

Thank you so much!

Thank you buddy! Thanks for being here.
