DIY Sanding & Restoring Rusty Truck Pan | EP 18 RUSTORATIONS: 1972 Chevy Nova

[@FeelingLikeThatNow]

All this hard work is gonna pay off!

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@FeelingLikeThatNowI think so too. Taking the scenic route in restoring this thing so it'll last :)

[@Brianshrader6357]

Your attention to detail is second to none.You and your family will be able to enjoy that Nova for years. Keep on plowing . Look forward to each new Video .

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Thank you Brian. I still make lots of mistakes and my pace is laughable at times but really trying to make sure this thing lasts as long as possible. I always hate doing things twice may as well get it right the first time 😊 cheers man have a great weekend

[@chuckirwin7334]

I remember those days, I actually feel asleep in my trunk and the wife came and woke me up that's when you know your really into your work, great job you always do great work looks like you've been doing it for years. 😂

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@chuckirwin7334 haha that's hilarious I'll admit it was close a few times. Not easy work for sure. Thanks about the kind words I guess I'll try to fool em all 😂 not really my crappy welds are my trail

[@seanc2862]

At 3:35 Seeing the drill and wire brush attachment practically melt layers of rust in a fraction of a second actually made me say 'WOAH' out loud haha True to the series name, it wouldn't have been a rustoration without finding the rust under the trunk. Further Future proofing the Nova is great though, means the work done now will last even longer.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Haha love that comment that made me laugh. Yeah thought it was a clever name nobody used but now that we got into it we somehow lived up to it. Which is cool with me, but I totally see why nobody makes videos like this... takes forever. But yes you are right it will last long this way. Had I left those gas tank brackets like that the tank would have fallen off in a couple years lol! Good to see ya always Sean have a great weekend dude.

[@seanc2862]

@@SubdivisionAuto Yeah you really have to keep positive with the setbacks otherwise it will feel like a brutal slog. Hope you have a great weekend too man, and that you had a fun Halloween with the family

[@gtsuperjet]

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Thanks Rob gotta keep going so I can get out cruising with all your legends!

[@gtsuperjet]

@@SubdivisionAuto That will be soooooo cool! Can't wait for that day.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@gtsuperjet That will be col. We will for sure do something crazy that day I have some ideas... and it wont just involve my car. Have a great weekend!

[@davidbrown-55]

Great work. Very hard labor.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Oh yeah you got that right David. next episode even harder when we tackle the bottom of the car. Your arms will hurt just watching it haha!

[@damianporter7114]

Thanks man for sharing this and all your hard work I've learned somethings and accepted somethings and will take it into consideration I'll subscribe after seeing all your efforts

[@SubdivisionAuto]

My pleasure Damian because I am so new to this I make a lot of mistakes and if it stops people from making them then great! Thanks for the support you will see a lot more as we are keeping this project going. Best of luck on your own project

[@firelord71]

Seeing all that bare metal is eye candy to me keep up the good work I can't wait to see when it is done and on the road

[@SubdivisionAuto]

It is isn it? Then you will love the next episode under the car its a next level job. This job was very difficult too though but well worth it as always. Thanks for watching!

[@firelord71]

@SubdivisionAuto you Are making my grown up toy list longer lol and I can not wait to see the new results underneath the car

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@firelord71 Hah perhaps! Yeah thats a hell of an episode because it was the most struggle on the job yet. But its amazing what can be done if you put your mind to it. Have a great weekend man

[@firelord71]

@@SubdivisionAuto you too and have a good one with your wife and kids 😘

[@billyrapley7224]

Awesome work mate such a great channel 👌🏼 can I recommend getting a spray bottle for the ospho. Makes my life easier

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@billyrapley7224 great idea not sure why I didn't do that yet! Glad you like the channel man

[@Domenshow]

First comment! Hell ya lol. Looking good, cant wait to see it complete!

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Yeah buddy happy to see you back around Adrian! Thanks will take some time to get it done lol!

[@chevysupernova]

🔥🔥🔥

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Glad you like it sweet logo I have the same one on a flag hanging behind the nova!

[@Canadian_Icecube]

Excellent work! Where do you buy the 3M rust products in Canada ? I am in Ottawa (near you?). Thanks.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@Canadian_Icecube thanks. Which product are you interested in particularity? I buy my stuff from a variety of places usually amazon for most. But for Eastwood products like the frame coating I buy from GTP racing on the Quebec side. Talk to Serge tell him Max sent you he's a good guy. Otherwise like I said amazon.

[@Canadian_Icecube]

I was looking for the Frame rust preventor. I thought it was 3M cavity wax you also used.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@Canadian_Icecube nope I used the Eastwood internal frame coating it was really good. Super happy with it I just did the trunk lid inside and man it sticks pretty well.

[@emirray8692]

Do you regret not getting that old Nova out of the cargo unit that was green and rusted bad now would you buy it or is it still a pass 🤔

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Not at all I just dont have the setup probably nor the skills to do frame rails. There is an aftermarket frame rail kit but its a full tub and its pretty tough to work with as it only connects at certain points... there are gaps above it in many areas. So the fact i dont have to do the rails on this car is great. That said I would get some of the other cars in the woods before that cargo one. The cars in the woods will rot away eventually disapear the cargo one will be restored by someone.

[@aaronk4241]

Wats ur wife think of this project lol cus i know how mine would feel that’s y when i work on my 79 Camaro its normally super early before kids get up or after 9pm when kids are asleep

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@aaronk4241 haha she's actually very supportive of the project (for now) but that's because I'm filming it all in hopes it will do well on KZbin. At the moment that's not really the case but despite that she supports the dream and we are keeping on as long as we can afford it. Once we get to the expensive items I'm not so sure but right now it's been all sweat labor. But yeah if I wasnt filming it then it would be the same deal. Not enough hours in the day ! Thanks for the comment

[@JoeBur]

Wow! Great job! Lots of work but it will last a very long time. And your putting in a V8. 🫡 Yeah sand blasting would have been better. Have you picked out a color? For me, anything but white. White shows the dirt so quickly. Thank you sir.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Hey Joe good to see ya as always. Yeah hard work has never stopped me in the past so im alright with putting in the time. Hard cars to get these days so I think its worth the effort for the privilege of owning one of these. Yes got a color(s)... something quite different in mind then what most people seen. Not sure if we can pull off what I got in mind but thought we would make it look unique. Hoping to have it all painted in 2025. It will be in primer most of the year while we rough fit all the components back in. There will be a lot of mods on this car. Have a great weekend! Funny saw your profile picture... I will actually be in the USA in vegas while the election happens! At SEMA.

[@JoeBur]

@SubdivisionAuto Have a good time at SEMA. A lot to see. I bet you'll get some ideas. Undercoating and restoration has come a long way. I'll send you a video of The Car Care Nut. He and his wife bought a new Lexus SUV. He had it undercoating. Interesting.
