Restoration of Abandoned Police Car. Start to Finish Rust Repair and DIY Paint Job

[@coldwarmotors]

Proud LLW shirt customer... my cars practically finish themselves since I got one! I have seen waaay worse colour matches than that... It's like tremclad knew what those cans would be used for... hmmm... Seriously, most "restored" cars for sale are not done any better than this, and for "just goofing off" it is above and beyond! Cheers buddy; can't wait to see it... Full GCFCE approval of course!

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear CWM Scott N. 👍👌👏 Always nice meeting you here. Miss seeing you at Jonathan's channel. Best regards, luck and especially health to you, Hunny Bunny, the agents and, last but definitely not least, cute Francine.

His quickie rust repair is better than most "pro's"

[@GregoryBamber]

Totally agree !!!!!

[@wayne9518]

Way better than the newspaper and Bondo or aluminum tape and Bondo rocker panel repairs I uncovered.

[@sunshinegirl2879]

Most definitely....

[@zsolthajdu5007]

It seems easy but you need to be quite good to pull this off at a reasonable pace.

[@zsolthajdu5007]

Wow, it went from junk to "will be junk in four winters" !

[@Chevypowered5766]

Hey for a quickie that was a pretty good job. Like I used to say our inspector gives it passing marks and two thumbs up when he check it. But the ordeal is he looks at when it’s in motion at 50mph in a severe snowstorm and he happens to be blind. But two thumbs up and it looks great to him. So I am satisfied.

[@g_force3857]

So I’m sitting outside having a beer last night and thinking I might give the Ute a quick refresh and stumbled across your video…. I think we may be brothers from another mother… I struggle not to get carried away doing stuff to new cars too…. Good luck

[@wyattoneable]

My wife wants me to do some chores around the house today. I told she has to wait until after Kyle is done with this car. Thanks for the video!

Dude you rock... Doing similar work to a 92 Lincoln Town Car, this motivated me to keep getting after it

[@chevdaye]

From a customers eye view/close-up nobody's gonna look at an old crown vic for how it's paint job looks, Just as long as all the rust is gone the customer will be pretty happy 👍 Good Job.

[@paulerickson1906]

You laid on a good gloss coat despite the problems.

[@charleykeenan6171]

I know this won't be what you want to hear.. But, this is probably one my favorite videos you have done. I have shared to several friends and I appreciate it. Between this and the C 10 episode from last year I think building a "beater with a heater" is getting to be a lost art. Great work and if someone was really up against it they could have done this with pop rivets and a grinder. I know you areused to doing a lot higher end work, but this gets someone with just a little cash through for now. Thank you for this, I really appreciate what it takes to make this look as easy as you do. Great job sir!

[@chrishouse5753]

I'll post my own thoughts in another comment but I wanted to concur. Like the fixing major rust play list, this was a great vid. I love the other stuff too so I won't say its a new favorite but this is the kind of rough and tumble fix the rust and get it back on the road stuff that I do. I could never hope to do the kind of metal finishing and dent repair of old stuff you do but will always be watching to learn more.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed it. This was a lot more work to put together than my regular videos

[@anthonykinrade8642]

Great video.....❤

[@StringsUp58]

Hey man those turbo cans came out pretty good. Car looks good, and didn’t have go broke payin a body shop that takes forever.

Kyle loved this video. Amazed at what accomplished in 1:O7:19. Always looking forward to seeing your videos. Oh , by the way you have a wad of masking tape stuck to the back of your jacket.

[@lgbfjb6450]

Looks great from the camera distance. That’s as close as most people will ever get to it. You made those body repairs look easy!

[@kenpecora7526]

That was fun to watch. I am sure it was not fun to do.

Awesome job for a budget job

[@BCole-bj4lv]

I just finished my shower after Fluid Film application to 3 of my cars. It's my autumn ritual. One of my cars I did almost exactly the same restoration on 2 years ago. It took me a lot, lot, longer than you. I've done more on the frame since as well. I've driven it about 35K miles, since. Tonight I saw some more bubbles in the paint and we know what that means. Your videos inspired me to tackle the job and my car is running like a champ.

[@jct300m]

[@Stop..carry-on]

The paint job looks pretty great from a distance (Illinois). Good work, saved another one!

[@Gerk8]

That’s a respectable daily now. I can picture “To spray and protect.” on the fender.

[@chrishouse5753]

This was awesome even if its not the way you are supposed to do it. This is the kind of work us more normal driveway mechanics fix stuff but in way shorter time. Cut some rust, try to make a part that fits, weld it, hide it with filler and paint with a rattle can. While I love the classic car stuff, amazing artistry with the cut and chops, the miraculous dent and crack disappearing videos, this was a nice long video to procrastinate with while thinking I should be in the driveway right now doing the same thing to my rocker panels.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

There was a fair amount of procrastination on my end too before I finally cut into the rocker panels haha. Not a fun job!

[@totallybonkers]

Another great episode. Thanks Kyle!!

[@richardnewman8983]

Hello from Dronfield Derbyshire in the united kingdom 🇬🇧. I came across your channel and thought I would check it out and I must say what a great job you have done with the welding it was quite a lot of welding but you have done an amazing job. It’s just a shame that you are doing all this great work for someone you owe money to it was quite an extensive process. I have just subscribed so I look forward in seeing more of your work. Take care and stay safe From Richard Newman.

[@MartsGarage]

Excellent job, Kyle for a quick splash and dash. Impressed by the wheelarches and doglegs. Rockers came out well, too. I've been summoning as much inner Kyle as I can muster lately having launched into body repair on my 32 sedan. I have even revisited gas welding and hammering and dollying plus using a shrinking wheel. Hopefully it ought to make it into a video series sometime. Ok, all the best, keep on doing what you do.

[@died4us590]

I think this was taking pity on this old police cruiser, i think the rust deleting, and rustoleum rattle can fix will get this rig down the road awhile longer, and it looks 100% better. You didn't buy replacement rocker panel's, or any other pre fabricated metal to do this, and i have no doubt this budget fix will last much longer. You have some skills, and use what you've got, always makes for a great video, along with sarcasm and humor. G-d bless.

[@gregpadberg1402]

The perfect Saskatchewan winter beater! Certainly more appropriate than some old Volvo with a fresh pinstripe, lol. Love the custom trim delete. Also, those cats should have been conscripted to help keep the rattle cans shaken prior to use!

[@HumbertoReyno]

It was fun to watch thanks

[@martinharris5017]

I love Rustoleum rattle cans :) You've got your very own "Bluesmobile" right there. I second what someone else wrote, that your quick fix-ups are superior in every way to many pro panel shop work. In fact it was great to see you splash out this time and invest in some bondo instead of those usual poverty-level metal=only jobs ;)

[@jeffmessenger6294]

Even when you don't mean to do nice work it still turns out decent

[@squablow]

"Filthy garbage dungeon" was definitely my favorite quote of the episode. And one of the better winter beater makeovers I've seen. I'd watch more of this, especially with the "praying mantis" technique, that's gold.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@edrushbrook]

Kyle, some trade secrets shouldn’t be shared. I can’t wait to get in the garage and mix up some filler so I can try the “praying mantis!”
