Teaching JD how to paint is a great. You teach well, never getting angry or upset, and trying to explain why to do things. Kids at school may laugh at his red nose, but he's gonna be able to paint his cars the colors he wants.

[@michaelb.42112]

JD is already a more knowledgeable mechanic than most mechanics ! :)

[@themccoys4031]

I love the fact he's teaching the kid how to do it. Prefect project for it and so few are being taught how to do this stuff anymore.

[@mattbrown5511]

Dalton and JD truly polished a turd. It was hilarious to watch the banter. The day is always better when a PBG video drops.

[@Joe6packAmerican]

That kid is having the time of his life. Something the phone will never do for him. Learning a skill that a lot of people won't have but need to have done. Great video!

[@clstjam4321]

Watching JD pitch in is awesome! Also, I don't know how Dalton and Jess found each other but I think she's a perfect addition to the channel. Why do I say that? He said: I wonder if we'll have any brakes, to which she responded "we'll find out-out there" pointing to the road with lots of cars on it...lmao. The perfect woman for a guy like Dalton.

It's so good to see a Dad & their Kid working together. I never had that with my dad. But My oldest Daughter wanted to do everything with Me So I taught her everything I could. We worked on cars, furniture & music. All my favourite things. Now she doe's the same with her kids. I'm a very proud Dad & very happy Grandpa.

Suggestion?? Try painting over a doily or other stuff with holes in it like that. It'd be fun to see if you or JD could make some cool special paint effects. Like you said, if it turns out bad, who cares?

FYI @PoleBarnGarage, if the Caddy ends up as scrap later, the front disk brakes can be used to convert a 68-72 C10 front drum set up. Our ‘72 C10s got ‘77 Eldorado brakes on the front 👍

[@PoleBarnGarage]

No kidding? I just picked up a 66 wonder it's the same

[@WillD.5545]

I’m not sure, I know there were a lot of changes from the first generation C/K to the 2nd Gen “Action Line”. A buddy of mine is doing a frame-off on a ‘66 right now and now I’m curious.

[@j2kinflarc768]

Way back in the mid 90’s I had a Cutlass Calais from the 80’s, 4 door and not the cool kind 😂 the rear quarters were rotted out at the bottom and I wasn’t a skilled body guy. So I taped over the holes and filled the void through the trunk with foam. Took a few days to dry. Pulled the tape, sanded it, put some “speed tape” over it and painted it almost the same color. Stopped the exhaust from filling the cabin. So awesome that you are teaching JD how to paint, perfect project for it. Like you said, he couldn’t screw it up, and if he had, it would not be a problem, and you could teach him to fix it. Wish I could have gotten my kid interested in fixing cars. Now that he’s older he wishes he’d have taken an interest. It’s never too late, I’m teaching him how years later.
