What a terrific hood ornament the Pterodactyl would make.

[@RottenBuick]

A little big maybe. 🤔

[@martinharris5017]

Cryptozoology and cars. Two of my favorite topics on one channel!

[@RottenBuick]

Two of my favorite subjects as well actually.

One thing for sure is she's prettier than when you found her

[@RottenBuick]

That was a pretty low bar to beat I think. 🤔 😆 thanks! It’s been fun. But I’m itching to drive it now.

[@whatzthis64]

I am really digging the concept of the car, you have the plan she’s going to, I like the car Christine, my 2 boys would watch the vhs tape before they could read, have a great day and football 🏈 Sunday. Your friend Brian.

[@RottenBuick]

Thanks! I remember watching it when I was a kid too. 😆

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Nice progress today. Your creation of that curvy full quarter panel from scratch still amazes me every time I see it.

[@RottenBuick]

It’s something. I learned from it. For sure.

[@8razar8]

Dang, I did not find the rat, well played, great vid though👍

[@RottenBuick]

He’s super tough to find in this one.

[@charlescroson9009]

Thank you for the great content, cant wait for the day you cruise this fury....chuck 63 and a mopar forever guy....dang it im getting old, hurry.

Second, Friday (11:52 am) nice watching with you.

[@RottenBuick]

Enjoy! I think. I hope… 🥴

[@solidsnakesimulation666]

I thought I was tripping at first when the head pooped up😂​. The owner made the right call asking you to fix the pterodactyl as you have the talent and skill.@@RottenBuick

[@RottenBuick]

Thanks. I’m looking forward to fixing it. I really enjoy that sort of weird stuff

[@terryduling339]

Christine, batwing Buicks, drop top Lincoln, and some flavor of pterosaur. How can ya not love this unique and always interesting garage, fabricator, and channel?

[@RottenBuick]

Speaking of Lincoln.. I need to roll that thing back and get to work on it.

[@cycler67]

Keep her as original as possible....she's beautiful the way she is.

[@RottenBuick]

We’re a little beyond that now. 😆

[@grandnational386]

"Look. How funny he works, he's got brand new wiper blades on a busted window screen." Looking forward for the road trip stuff.

Me too!

[@beardedautoman]

I am digging the progress on the Plymouth, gonna be one of my next projects soon.

[@RottenBuick]

Awesome!

[@edwardweisenburg6585]

I always used white primer because whatever paint you lay over it pops perfectly

[@RottenBuick]

Makes sense.

[@joefrancis433]

Man, busy week! 8razar8 stole my thunder… great vid, and I didn’t spot the rat either! It’s enjoyable watching you do the work you’re doing and explaining as you go. I think I’m gonna get my welding tools out this week and get after some work I’ve been neglecting/hesitating. Welding has never been my thing, but I do it when I have to. You make it look like it’s second nature, but I realize it takes practice! Thanks! ‘Looking forward to the next.

[@RottenBuick]

I’m certainly not the best.. but at the first shop I ever worked for the manager told me “you’re not afraid to try anything”. Well.. when it comes to work. 😬

[@joefrancis433]

@@RottenBuick 👍 You get really good results

[@LetGaiaLive]

Cringing? Maybe not everyone would do it like you do, but you’re DOING it, and having fun, and it works 😎 Some people can do things better, some are worse - and some don’t do a damned thing except complain! You keep doing what you’re doing, man, including pterodactyls 😃👍🇦🇺🦘

[@RottenBuick]

Don’t I know it. It’s Better to try and fail than never try at all. Right?

Thanks for watching!

[@martinharris5017]

20:28 I'd love to see the whole car in matt or satin black. it would look really sinister!

[@RottenBuick]

You’re not wrong. I’ve seen them in black. They look tough.

[@danieldyke1074]

Little paint makes the curves look much better!

[@RottenBuick]

Helps a lot

[@HCMI2023]

Enjoying the journey.

Reminds me of The Big Operator 1959 film at 1:13 mark. A 4 door maybe a 58 ? Black too haha.

I’ll have to check that out.

Daily dosage if you can keep it up. We love it.

[@RottenBuick]

I’ll do my best. I’m always working on stuff.

[@stewartburks868]

I was working on an old mail jeep. I had the body going like I wanted. Rebuilt the engine and transmission. It was really going good. I put two hundred miles on it. Then I had a spinal stroke. I'm paraplegic now. Not living at my house now. It's been five years since I've seen my jeep. Probably locked up engine now. Hasn't been fired up since 2020. But now I'm working with wood. Something I can do while in a wheelchair. Lol

[@RottenBuick]

Oh man. I’m sorry to hear that. Life sure has a way to come at you all at once. Keeping yourself creative is really important. Glad it hasn’t completely stopped you from enjoying working on something.

[@stewartburks868]

@RottenBuick it is aggravating. I'm staying with my brother in law. My little house is a 1920s pier and beam. Nice place but needs a remodel inside to accommodate a my needs. I've managed to recover enough that I should be able to get back to my house. Lots of nephews around to do the remodel for me. Life is good! And staying busy. Love to watch you work on your car!

[@joefrancis433]

@@stewartburks868 Man that’s rotten luck. But you really have a great attitude. I’m not comparing but just sharing, I developed very aggressive arthritis in my back in a very short period of time. Had to make some huge changes after being very active and physical my whole life. I’m getting around and doing stuff while I still can and addressing changes as they come. Mail Jeeps are pretty cool. A buddy of mine used to have one that we would tool around in and it never got old! God bless you brother with excellent days ahead!

[@RottenBuick]

🤣 you get the head. The tail. The whole darn thing.

[@jeremygenslinger4874]

Hey at least you're replacing the metal with metal and not chicken wire and bondo like a bunch of people who claim to be professionals out there the only ones that will cringe are the Perfectionists that would take 10 years to make that patch then another 4 to actually weld it in that's why many of them die before their projects get done then they sit on the other side when someone like us gets the project and just get it done.

[@JimboJangle]

Exactly right.Well said.👍

[@RottenBuick]

Some people can definitely do better or worse. But we’re getting it done. And I can always attempt another quarter panel in the future.

[@bobbofly]

Almost wondering if someone wasn't planning on blue dots for the tail lights, given how perfectly round that hole is. There isn't a matching one on the other lens, perchance?

[@RottenBuick]

The other side is completely smashed out.

[@danieldyke1074]

May be lots of weld but it's still metal

[@RottenBuick]

Yeah. Technically.. 😆

My Pteranadon flew away. Im still waiting on it to come back. Whats that old saying? If you love something set it free. Somebody lied to me. :(

[@RottenBuick]

🦖 my T-Rex never came home. 😢 🏠

[@bobberndt9744]

Color, at this point, doesn't matter. Call it 'Preview Primer' and that will make the sections all the more obvious as you dial in repairs/modifications and the overall color(s) become more uniform.

[@RottenBuick]

Yeah I definitely see some areas of the panel that need addressing

[@jayweiss4378]

Can you find a parts car and use it to fix this one? I bet a few Four door ones are out there rusting away and would have some solid parts

[@RottenBuick]

Parts for all kinds of these cars are super desirable. But yeah I’m always gonna keep my eyes open in the future.

Yes, there really isn't much difference between a pterodactyl and a Plymouth.))) Both are already fossilized and extinct species.)) Man, that's cool, thanks.))))😅😅

Or leave the Rust and call it patina when there's no such Animal it's called Rust people or rot or Replace.

[@RottenBuick]

Yeah.. worn paint is one thing. Rust is another.

[@solidsnakesimulation666]

Maybe instead of using resin to fix the back lights, why not try using coloured plexiglass/plastic. Just a thought.

[@RottenBuick]

I could. It’s funny because the lights are cheap. Relatively speaking.. maybe I should just buy a set… 🤦‍♂️

[@solidsnakesimulation666]

If they are cheap to replace then go for it I'd say but in the uk a replacement for only one is $270. Bit steep for me.​@@RottenBuick
