Wow, thanks! I just set the phone up as if it's a person and just talk my way through whatever it is that I'm doing. I really appreciate the high praise! It means a lot!

[@bradreeves7534]

Big SHOUT out to you Bill. Looks great. Bet your bursting out with pride. I love it😊

[@RestoringChristine1956]

That was a very exhausting 6 days, let me tell you! But WORTH IT!

[@lonniegastelum4443]

Incredible! Been watching since the beginning and can’t wait till it’s totally done and completed and rolling down the street.

[@RestoringChristine1956]

It's going to be awesome once I get it assembled and trimmed!

[@jraposo911]

That’s awesome Bill! Happy for your outcome!!😊😊JR🇨🇦

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Thanks 👍

[@ezekielcanterbury9971]

She’s beautiful brother you did a amazing job on her

[@RestoringChristine1956]

I'm very pleased with how it's turning out!

[@classiccarrebuilds2771]

Absolutely stunning job, especially considering it was done in a garage 👍👍👍👍

[@RestoringChristine1956]

That's the beauty of it! She'll show well enough next to professional jobs!

[@richardchretien7412]

Wow, looks great. The white was a good choice. Can’t wait to see future progress.

[@RestoringChristine1956]

It looked buttery yellow by itself, grayish against the red on the small test panel, and stark white once the entire body was painted!

[@brentmorris8467]

You did it!! Awesome looking!! I'm proud of it too!!

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Thanks! It came out every bit as good as I had hoped!

[@VintageCarHistory]

What's going to make Christin a show winner is your attention to every detail. Well done!

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Trying very hard, that's for sure!

[@blue32nu]

I kinda lost track of your progress, so theres videos that i have to watch, but what an awesome journey! The light is getting brighter as you come closer to the end of the tunnel!

[@RestoringChristine1956]

It's definitely gotten brighter and redder! LOL!

[@kevinschertz4089]

She's a beaut Clark!

[@RestoringChristine1956]

I know! Dad taught me everything I know about exterior illumination! I mean paint!

[@trifivegarage8683]

Awesome job! Happy for you know it's been a long journey! You really laid it out slick! Wait till you get the chrome on her. 👍

[@RestoringChristine1956]

You and me both!

[@donchoate13]

Looks fantastic, looks wet that’s what you were after . Excellent job.

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Thanks 👍

[@rustyrodgarage2686]

Wow,what a beautiful job!

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Now I can't wait to see it assembled with stainless! LOL!

[@reijerlincoln]

Well done. Lots of hard work that paid off.

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Yes indeed!

[@harveywachholz2652]

Looks great bill your the man all the hard work you did just paid off

[@RestoringChristine1956]

I honestly think the current flows downstream from here!

[@garyhymel8309]

Looking good Bill.

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Thanks!

[@garyburgess3829]

Looks great Bill

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Thanks! Spent the day cleaning up little flaws - no video, but more progress!

[@porschmn167]

Looks great, very nice be proud.

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Absolutely!

[@richardchretien7412]

On my Ford I used Wimbledon White. It gave me the kinda creamy white. I like the color combination you choose. Looks great.

[@RestoringChristine1956]

I honestly thought the red wad going to be the harder one to nail down. Once I saw it being mixed,there's only so much "red" it can be. 50% of the paint volume is red tint, and probably less than 5% are black and violet. I thought there might have been some amount of yellow, but no.

[@johnserou6466]

Wow! You are so talented

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Thank you so much 😀

[@oacumulador]

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Happy Sunday and Happy New Year!

[@MagaRickn]

Sooo happy for you!!! And I envy you too. ;) I wish I was younger so I could paint my own car, but your dedication and work ethics encourage me to keep plugging away. Your car looks phenomenal !! Wow!! Can't say enough good after watching you all this time! Wow!! :) :)

[@RestoringChristine1956]

I know you've been following and supporting for a while... thanks for the kind words!

[@Zsule]

Dude! I re-watched this and you have outdone yourself! You have inspired me to paint my own '57. Awesome!

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Go for it!

[@jpowers667]

[@RestoringChristine1956]

[@bobbygant8649]

[@RestoringChristine1956]

I couldn't agree more! LOL!

[@mikealdag7309]

what a great way to bring in the new year !! good for you bud ! looks great

[@RestoringChristine1956]

It worked out ideal with the week between Christmas and New Years. That made this possible!

[@johncornell3665]

Looks great. Happy New Year!

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Thanks! You too!

[@davidbrown-55]

Looks excellent! It can be done in a home garage. P.s. I can’t believe you set the painted parts on concrete!

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Thanks! The only thing on concrete is the hidden edge of the front fenders when I needed the scissor stand. The trunk lid is on a cardboard box that is barely visible!

[@joewolf4483]

I'll try again ... I noticed all the stul stored above you car and was hoping that none of the ol bondo dust would fall into your paint ... you probibly see a few bad spots that only you know about ... and no one else will notice unless you point them out ... the trick there is to not point them out ... looks great one camera ... now the trick is to assemble it without scratchin the paint ... good luck there ...

[@RestoringChristine1956]

What I didn't mention is that in the days before I started shooting, I blew out the garage with my leaf blower to knock free all the loose stuff. I gave it a couple of days to settle back down. There is very, very little trash in the finish. I think most of it came from the hose, which gets drug around quite a bit and then lifted over parts being painted.

[@VintageCarHistory]

Woooooooooot!

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Yesss!

[@bigblockkings1031]

Looks awesome Bill! That's a single stage paint right? I'm definitely Going to look into that paint. 😊

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Yes, single stage. I considered topping it with clear but can't see any valid reason why I should!

[@bigblockkings1031]

@@RestoringChristine1956 nope. It looks great 👍

[@RichardPatterson-qj2xg]

What gun are you using?

[@RichardPatterson-qj2xg]

You done a great job and very informative when you do something. I’m 68 year old and you have inspired me to build my black and white car. 2 door hardtop car. Thanks Rick

[@RestoringChristine1956]

It's an Eastwood Concourse gun, nothing special. I used a Harbor Freight cup system on it. Check out Episode 106, right before this one.

[@joewolf4483]

Don't know what's goin on but my comments keep disappearing ... let me know if your getting them ...

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Got this one, but I don't see any others. This is the first!
