Another great video. I'm also a lone wolf. I build dry ice manufacturing nationwide so I make my money sporadically. Motivation can be a problem when you have no one to show your stuff to. I find that once I get out in the shop and do something it's easy to keep going. Sometimes I just stare at it for hours and come up with some of my best ideas that way. Your videos motivate me. Thank you for taking the time to make these informative videos.

Absolutely! We all need to motivate each other as these projects drag on. Sometimes it is time or money but a lot of the time it simply comes down to staying motivated to make your dream come true while living your life. Your project is very unique so show it off a little for encouragement.

Nice job on motor and tranny install you made it look so easy. One question how do you keep that white shirt so clean! I work by myself most of the time and keeping motivated can be tough at times but keep on looking forward.

[@FoothillPaintandFabrication]

Lots of bleach 😁Actually I have 5 shirts and a few of them if you saw them up close have some paint and grease stains that won't come out. The camera hides them pretty well too. Yes staying motivated is tough but if you treat each part as a challenge to be completed instead of the overwhelming whole project it can help you keep going. Just like eating a footlong sub, one bite at a time...

Hi Mark, Thanks for including pictures of my 64 Chevelle. If anyone wants to see more, click here: kzbin.info . That 65 is coming along nicely.

[@FoothillPaintandFabrication]

You are welcome Chris. I was just at a car show yesterday and there seems to be a resurgence of the 64 and 65 Chevelles. I had never seen so many at one local show before, really nice to see.

@@FoothillPaintandFabrication That's because they are CHEAP 🤣🤣🤣🤣In comparison, of course. The prices of 66-67 and 70 Chevelle's have exploded and I think people are looking at these models as an alternative (my speculation). I had a 64 back in 1987-89, so I wanted another one. Interesting fact, the only 1964 Chevelle reproduction body panels you can get are the one's shared with the 65. Quarter panels, outer door skins, floor pan and trunk floor. No hoods, front fenders, trunk lids or even tail light bits are available. So if you see a 1964 Chevelle, its running all original front and rear clips. They made allot of the 64, but they are mostly on their own, body panel wise.

@@OpenRoader Good point. So many of these resto mod shows on telling people they sell the car for 80K when they are done makes everyone that owns a classic think they have a gold mine in the barn.

[@OpenRoader]

@@FoothillPaintandFabrication Yeah, that's a drag for the guy or girl that just wants to roll around in his or hers dream car. I bought my first 64 Chevelle in 1987 for $1500 and it was a really nice car. Now, I see rusted wrecks for $15k. Insanity

[@FoothillPaintandFabrication]

@@OpenRoader Tell me about it. There are deals out there though and we are lucky where we live. Some of the stuff I see there are more holes than car when they start. My first GTO was bought for $600 no rust but that's all it had going for it 😂
