$400 budget interior makeover on a 52 Chevy!

[@beeenn649]

Notation: you're going to have to watch to find out. Good job!

[@robert4005]

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]

I just got an 83 f 150 full full patina, wish me luck!!!

[@rudyflores9395]

LOL I helped a friend do some door panels for his old truck & the awesome thing was it was voting season so he picked a bill board from some one he didn't vote for & it worked out just fine. ( after voting season was up ) If you use some materials that some viewers don't like then by all means have them send some funds your way but till then Mija you work with what you have. Bueno standing by for the next video stay safe & stay OLDIE Bueno Bye.

[@christinarust6957]

Thanks Vincent! We appreciate you 🙏

[@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 🤔

[@johnnyh409]

Christina is definitely a keeper!LOL She did a great job with limited funds and no real experience at it! Reminds me of the days of buying 100 dollar cars from back yards and fixing them up back in the early 70's!

Very good job guys. Love what you have done with the interior. Love Christina to bits, even the way she doesn't know what she is describing.,I e saying head liner when she means roof. She will not be as good in 6 months time when she knows the words for everything. Remember I said I love her to bits. One thing I don't love is batina. Shiny guy who can't spell.

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.

When using fiberglass, I use plastic cutlery to press the sheeting into place. They are cheap and throw-away. Great video on doing sentimental restoration on a budget.

I have done door panels before and what I used was 1/8" pegboard you can get at any lumber outlet. I did put 1/8" foam on that before the final covering. That was on a 1957 Chevy and turned out great. The foam can be pressed down around the door handles and window cranks to make the m look good.
