You guys do amazing work! Also love your taste of music for the videos! We need more people who take pride in their work!

I'm a Ford guy, but that Chevy truck is gorgeous ! It looks like you could just dive into that paintjob !!! And NO on the side moulding in my opinion.

[@darrenbrisson4336]

I agree no side trim but the rear tailgate trims ok but whatever the customer wants

Blues my favorite color so many nice hues love the blue on the truck and cuda

My parents had that same 1968 Barracuda and that same color.340, Formula S,4 speed factory race car. They bought it brand new from the dealership. I begged them not to trade that car back into the dealership because I wanted it as my first car well, the current owner is the guy who owned the dealership. The car still exists and it’s beautiful..❤❤ what a fabulous job you guys have done…congratulations.🇺🇸🏁👍

[@HouseofPearls]

Thank you very much! Apparently these cars were pretty popular when they were first came out, but that was before even my mom was born. So unfortunately I don’t have many memories of older classic cars growing up myself other than my grandfathers 69 chevelle SS and seeing other muscle cars and thinking they were awesome when I was a little kid. They definitely have a different presence to them than cars nowadays

[@sesampley]

NO MOLDING on the truck. That thing would be a great candidate for a little bit of 80's pinstriping in the corners/centers of the hood and tailgate though.

[@HouseofPearls]

AGREED!

[@johnnyanger3822]

​@@HouseofPearlsI love first gen square body trim, not a fan of the later side trim. I agree with pin stripe mb a silver. also the back bumper is hideous, it needs the same style as front but to each there own. the paint is gorgeous also as a body and paint guy what's your opinion of the acrylic sanding blocks vs the old style ones? im always looking for new tricks considering i was originally taught by à guy who painted Indy cars to use thick paint sticks wrapped with sand paper. Wich works in some cases. Sorry to comment on a previous comment.

Hey young magicians... NO!!! on the side moldings... Can see Bill moaning, but dreading the thought of the drive train being within 20 miles of a sandblaster, then sending Bucko to pull it all.. lol. He's probly like us & a bit surprised about the depth of this job, but seeing a thing of deep beauty in the end. Keep doing what you do team, its real nice to watch from sunny Queensland Australia. Take care.

[@HouseofPearls]

Yep I don’t think they were quite prepared to see the car cut up to the extent it was but it’s all part of doing it correctly. Patching it together would be less stressful but not last. I hope to get him to remove the drivetrain from the frame as well but if I need to triple back and mask it up that’s what I’ll do. Would be a shame though. Thanks for the support all the way from Australia! Nikole and I have always wanted to see it there. The environment and people both seem awesome

You should have recorded the response of the CUDA owner. I would have loved to have heard the excitement (I hope) from his response. You guys are killing it!!!!

Thank you! Yeah I’ve always felt weird about pulling the camera out on people and asking them to talk. Even by asking; I wouldn’t want somebody to feel obligated and uncomfortable on camera. Jeff is a great guy and customer though. This is actually the 3rd vehicle we’ve restored and painted for him within the past year and a half.

I think the Cuda transformation has been Great, the owner is a Lucky Person!! the only way the cuda could look better is if it was painted Plumb Crazy Purple! ya the other car's look Great, But I have a thing for Cuda's & I drive a 65 mustang, but I owned a 78 C15 GMC in the 1990's , so I really like the Truck.

Should do a reaction Video taking a ride in BIlly S10 ... But anyway great work you folks do .Thank You for sharing and we will seee you in the next

[@stevefolkes2137]

Definitely molding.

[@chrishart2064]

Those trucks look better without the moulding imho but it probably wouldn’t be scratched already if it had them. We used to use so much of that moulding Back in the day that we used to buy it in 100 foot rolls. Just bought the rear bed corner aluminum trim from GM because the stick on stuff would leave a gap underneath. Ahh memories lol.

[@HouseofPearls]

Yep that’s exactly right. I also didn’t think about the door ding protection, although I wouldn’t think would do as much on a lifted truck like that unless it was dropped significantly lower. Which would also cover that scratch too probably lol. Although, to simply everything I believe the customer is deciding on no molding. Which was Jesse and Nikole’s opinion also. I kinda like the molding but could go either way. I think it’s beautiful without it too

[@bmxbobby1]

Great Work

[@chrishart2064]

It would be cool that when you put the complete floor in the 55.You raise it up an inch and a 1/2 or 2 inches.So the body is actually that much lower to the ground.You lose head room but

I can see where that’s a cool thought but in practice would be much more work that it’s worth

[@tommyallen5011]

You guys and gal's do really good work that 1/4 of inche is for the wiring that runs down the drivers side is what we were told when we did a 55 and a 57 chevy we did back when I worked in a body shop

[@HouseofPearls]

Thank you! I appreciate the tip also. That could make sense, but the discrepancy of being too long and sitting low is on the passenger side. Additional the existing 1” lip and channel is plenty for the harness to run through or any wiring on either side. Either way, it’s even now! Probably was within factory tolerance before we put them even but we’re shooting for as close to perfect as possible.

[@tommyallen5011]

@@HouseofPearls reap I knew you all do as close to perfect as possible that is the reason I love you all's videos it's so hard to find people that really cares about the work that you spend your hard earned money on paint and body work today but goodmark is the one who told us about the 1/4 inch but we cut and splist a piece to make it fit perfect to

[@Ccwm7089]

Great job on all of those! On the Chevy, I’m a little more of a “purist” on the Square body. I do vote yes on the chrome molding! But, it’ll need a pin stripe to accent chrome molding on that solid color. The molding from the ‘88-‘91 Blazer/Suburban/Crew Cab, may b a better option? Also, paint the grille strip to match the color. I’m supposing, this is an ‘85-‘87????

[@HouseofPearls]

He actually likes the white vinyl in the grill stripe lol. I don’t mind it either honestly. The 88-91 blazer trim is the same style but it’s black and a bit different. Same double sided tape style though which is our drawback to using it.

[@jfarm_1311]

I’d say no molding. The paint is beautiful enough to not need it. It better suited if it was a different color on the bottom of the molding

[@gasparsperformance9841]

Molding: for a very clean look I’d say No, but if you want a factory look then I’d say Yes

Great work guys and lady ! Just curious how much did your business go up when OMG came and brought you all to the world?

[@HouseofPearls]

We’ve been doing this for 8 years now and had a large following on Facebook so we’ve always stayed pretty busy through word of mouth. The support, kindness and motivation we’ve received from Bill, his family and all his followers has been pretty drastic though. Things have improved in many ways since the relationship with OMG and the family that are hard to quantify. I’ve always been picky about the project we do, but it’s even more frequent we are asked to do cool projects and a lot of that comes from the exposure thanks to OMG. Hopefully that answers the question 👍

“Intense blue pearl” pb3 is the color code I believe

[@jdias51]

must of been so hard to blend the supra

[@HouseofPearls]

Actually a very straight forward color to match, but very challenging to spray as a tri coat due to the size of the pearl. Its meant to be mixed into the paint as an additive but we couldn’t get the vibrancy we wanted without loosing the depth of the black base

What size tip do you use for high build primer? I used a 2.0 at 32psi, but it's laying down pretty lumpy.

[@HouseofPearls]

I use a 1.5 for high build epoxies. Anything bigger will put the material on too thick and not allow it to cure the way it’s meant to between coats. It’s not designed to stack thick like a polyester primer which is basically a sprayable bodyfiller. A 2.0 will also make the droplets way too large for an epoxy and not lay smooth like it’s meant to. I’ve even had excellent results with a 1.4 and high build epoxy.

[@daveherrington9112]

@@HouseofPearls that's what I'm finding out with the high build I've been using, is the droplets are so big. If I use polyester primer, is the 2.0 the right tip, because I'm pretty sure I was told to use that garden hose of a tip?
