Fantastic job! The fun you’ll have with it will be priceless! Richard I don’t know if you know how lucky you are to have Christina helping and enjoying these projects as much as you do. She’s a gem!

[@christinarust6957]

Ahh...thanks Robert. I'm pretty darn lucky myself!

[@davidmcelrea-9222]

[@douglasshupe2771]

Christina. Please don't let those "nay-sayers" get to you. You are doing a wonderful job of remodeling your 52 Chevy. I love your creativity and being able to work within financial constraints. Well done, you!!

[@christinarust6957]

Thank you Douglas 😊

Absolutely love seeing y'all work together on projects together! The 52 is looking great on a respectful budget! She is going to be a cool cruiser! My wife helps me on my 1960 Impala on some projects! This is TEAM effort! The creoil I got from y'all is awesome! Happy motoring!

[@whattherust]

Thanks Robert! Happy to hear you like the Cre-Oil.

[@josemsantiago7524]

Very good job, like the song goes, you did it your way!

[@richardcline1337]

Just watching how well you two work together and enjoy doing things together really brought back some memories for me of my time with my late wife, Glenda. Many couples have no idea how much more fun a marriage can be because they don't work at finding common things they can enjoy doing together. That bonding is impossible to describe and I miss it so much! Good luck on finishing the rest of the car. She looks great (Christina, but the car, too!)

[@christinarust6957]

Thank you Richard. You always have such kind words.

What a great job on a budget! Well done, Christina and Richard.

Thanks Colin!

[@dconoway9932]

Excellent job with thar budget. My brother and I did the same to a 51 Mercury about 60 years ago and we spent 125.00 back then which was a fortune so your 400.00 budget is so creative. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@christinarust6957]

[@essexdavenorton]

guys you made a fabulous job of the of the interior. Well done

[@christinarust6957]

Thanks Dave!

[@richardgabel33]

Richard and Christina…nice job. It is fun to watch this type video. Many of your younger viewers don’t have funds to do a full body off restoration and this proves making a nice cruiser on a budget is possible. No sponsor help just $400. Do a little at a time. Nicely done. Now for the exterior…not that patina crap after Christina cleaned up the interior. Instead go for a rustoleum roller paint job then wet sand and buff. Stay safe.

[@christinarust6957]

Thanks Richard! You are not the first to voice over the patina look. You guys have my Richard thinking 🤔

[@hippydippy]

Great job Christina & Richard! Looks beautiful. Myself I like the look of the old school knobs, but do what makes you happy! Looking forward to future episodes on it as well as the Camaro. Be well.

[@christinarust6957]

Thank you! I'm excited about the Camaro myself:-)

[@markyaz901]

[@christinarust6957]

Thank you Herb! Very nice compliment:-)

[@richr4947]

Christina & Richard, great job the Chevy, she’s really looking great! When I was younger, my headliner was coming down and I bought an inexpensive flannel sheet to replicate the factory material and color - spray glued and it looked original. All the best to you both, enjoy your channel.

[@christinarust6957]

Thank you Rich. Flannel sheet...interesting.

[@davida.p.9911]

That is an amazing transformation on the interior!!! Wow! 😎 love the red and white!! And to have Lula's original seat to install back in the car is the icing on the cake! (Those old Cadillac seats might be able to be made into cool living room couches. I think that would be an idea worth exploring.) Lula looks great! Awesome work Richard and Christina! 👍👍👍

[@whattherust]

Thanks very much David!

[@dynomitegliatti7811]

nice job Chritina and Richard the idea to doing a low budget interior you nailed it. the key is to do your own thing and enjoy it,ty for doing what you do for us

[@christinarust6957]

Thank you! Appreciate you watching:-)

[@williamhood7849]

Outstanding job Christina for the knobs on the car that's a pretty ingenious idea if you ask me I never would have thought about it I think you and Richard are the best y'all make each other laugh and you know what you're doing when you're working on vehicles I think y'all is fantastic keep it up fantastic

Thanks William. More to come!

[@tombob671]

Folks this is the best example of rehabbing an old car. One fine job Richard and Christine you have proven the little guy can do this hobby. BTW Billet is dead as no one can afford that and even the magazine Street Rodder the ultimate Billet is dead and gone. BTW I had a pal cut up appliance panels for floor panels. Adapt, improvise and overcome. GREAT JOB GUYS 👏👏

Exactly Tom!

[@markhoffman9674]

What a transformation! the red and white with black really looks good! The exterior in satin black would look nice too!

[@whattherust]

Thanks Mark. We are thinking about what to do with the exterior. Spare time is very limited, we have to do something since the car is rusting just sitting in the garage.

[@davedoughty1213]

You guys are a fabulous team!! Don’t allow any negativity from people who don’t have your talent!! I think your solutions to saving money are thoughtful and worked out extremely well! I can’t believe this was your first time Christina… the results speak for themselves. You guys are great together and I love your chemistry. I enjoy the restorations as well since I have a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback that I’ve been driving for 51 years! Keep up the great work and I wish you much success on your channel.
