This brother's talking about 14 layers of depth. He's a madman in a good way. :-)

[@AutotopiaLA]

Truly a master painter...stunning fade paint job

[@strongplanted]

I think most of the cars and trucks you show here are awesome, this one is just on another level! I love it!!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks and I agree. Another level especially the paint and body

[@johnbrown2163]

I agree I just like custom not another hard earned copy. Where is Chevelle with Mitsubishi Evo interior, With Brembo Brakes, Subaru Suspension, Lambo engine starter, Custom wing doors, Night drive light out mode, Electric motors on tires for 200hp getaway, Fly by wire, We need more Imagination I'm not a fan of hard earned copies. I forgot All wheel steering.

[@jadedamerican217]

Couldn't agree more. This car is stunning!!!

[@rickeybullington68]

@@AutotopiaLA the car is nice . But I would left it all original .

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

This car is the total package. I never thought I could drool over door panels, but yeah the interior is just that good, too.

[@Boatsandhoes44u8]

That's what I was thinking, the door panels just tie the car together. Amazing

[@AutotopiaLA]

This whole car is flawless. Pure artistry

[@bzmaro]

I love the enthusiasm of this guy! That thing is gorgeous 😍 crazy the amount of work that goes in just for that paint job not counting all the other goodies

[@AutotopiaLA]

Me too! His passion is so obvious and this car is just incredible!

[@MrDSALAZARTX]

His enthusiasm is awesome!

[@majorcurto5418]

I know right, one of the best cars on the show...👍🏿😃

[@rayflower1915]

10/10 speced out, the man has taste. That color is just unreal badass

[@emperorabyss7299]

I think this is the best looking Chevelle I've ever seen. It's fire! 🔥👍

[@AutotopiaLA]

I hear ya! Killer build and simply stunning paint and body

[@ericdolan2130]

That has got to be the cleanest, most well thought out, and executed Chevelle I have ever seen in my life. You are right, that paint job is on a WHOLE other level! I hope the owner take your advice and gets it out and drives the wheels off of it! Too nice to be sitting in a garage or on a trailer!

[@davidcruz8227]

This might be the cleanest chevelle out there, they did everything right on this beast.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed. So many clean tasteful details and it makes great power and sounds!

[@FrisellFan01]

The tucking of front and rear bumpers is such a fine detail......I can't get enough of the paint......outstanding work!

[@zoomdirt2]

Love that color combo with the wheels...and the owner is dope too great personality he really enjoys the work that’s done of his car.

[@AutotopiaLA]

His color choices and execution are right on point. Beautiful build

[@kevinsnyder4425]

"The only thing I don't like about it, is that it's not mine "! Love that quote !! That's an unreal car, with a sweet paint (custom paint) job.! Thanks

[@AutotopiaLA]

😂 truth! I love this build. The paint is insane!!

[@Rokavlon7]

This car is fantastic. It is one of the best cars that you have shown in your show. The colour is perfect. It has a strong motor. It has manual transmission and this car is very pleasant to be driven.. Love from Greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 to the owner

[@AutotopiaLA]

I agree! This is such a beautiful car and sounds great. Would love to drive it but that wasn’t going to happen which I understand completely

[@MegasXLR]

The perfect car. Paint, design, interior and..that sound is just stunning :)

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed all the way 👊

[@thektmkid6990]

Man, the cars that you guys feature make me really appreciate where we are at now, with the level of modifications & the way that they are exquisitely executed, it just absolutely blows my mind. Thank you & keep doing the awesome job that you guys do, you kill it.

[@hent1438]

That's a sick build. I can't imagine what a paint job like that would cost.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I can’t either. 14 fades...wow!!

[@GarretSterling]

I lost count of me saying *WOW* over and over EXCELLENT BUILD

[@AutotopiaLA]

I know what you mean. That paint is insanity!

[@ScottParisi]

The algorithm brought me this channel four days ago. I've watched multiple videos each day and finally subscribed today. Awesome channel.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks for the sub and glad you like what we do here. This Chevelle is stunning. That paint is crazy!

[@ScottParisi]

@@AutotopiaLA, absolutely agree. 69 SS396 is my dream Chevelle but it must be a manual and have factory AC. With that said, all the cars I see on your channel make me think a good shell, of any kind, is a great way to start. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@raverick187]

That's one sick paint and I love it! The car is perfect, that's SEMA build quality craft, maybe even beyond. The dude who masterminded this car, I want more of his rides. Shawn, this is jewel of video!

[@AutotopiaLA]

They have another build we’re shooting soon. It’s different and just as good...killer builder and painter

[@raverick187]

You are more direct than Rides, back then on Discovery, and a LOT less drama! Devil is in details, and you well know it! Keep on doing good stuff, Shawn and crew!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Raverick thank you! I’ll tell the guys you said this 👊

[@timothydraper3687]

I like how pleased he is about the smooth closing trunk/boot, that everything is important.

[@rsandoval9203]

One of my favorite SEMA cars for paint. Beautiful in person and almost impossible to get a pic that does it justice.

[@ledheadkustomplastic3442]

BEST fade job I've ever seen. The car is just BADASS, and I know the kind of work it took to build that crazy machine. YA JUST CAN'T HIDE $$$$$$

[@AutotopiaLA]

Lots of $$ and definitely the best fade I’ve ever seen

[@chrislovett87]

Wow. The whole body is so clean it looks like glass. Amazing build.

[@AutotopiaLA]

It really is an incredible build

[@ed9603]

That paint 14 steps this car is a whole different level of build awesome absolutely gorgeous

[@Nyx_88888]

I like how enthusiastic this builder is

[@dannyal467]

damn thats one clean chevelle it seems that that color is popular like the combo cant go wrong with a chevelle 👍🏻👍🏻

[@AutotopiaLA]

The fade paint done like this is a rare feat. Stunning build

[@andrewipp426]

The paint and bodywork is exquisite, I painted a 70 Monte Carlo in a gradient fade back in the late 70’s, Candy Kolors: lacquer paint black, candy purple, candy blue over a silver base, tons of work, and color sanding. I could e mail you pictures. Listening to the paint process, he describes in every section that has been modified, he has a crazy sense of humor as well “if saw the underside when you got run over you would be impressed! Geez and the interior design and workmanship e-brake position shifter trunk release the details are insane! Is that a tow hook under the front valance?

[@AutotopiaLA]

It is a removable tow hook up front and rear. Wonderful paint and body on this one. Sounds like you had a beautiful Monte Carlo. Feel free to send some pics. Would love to see it!

[@lildrum78]

This has to be the best car that you have reviewed on Autopia. Amazing bodywork, paint, and that sound of that engine is something else. Do you think that Autopia will ever review the car scene in Australia? We have some passionate and some fantastic builders. Keep with the channel, it is fantastic!

[@vincentcook5089]

That color is so intoxicating. And it looks like glass. Just perfect!

[@YOUNGANDRECKLESSCC]

Man oh man another one ha‼️✊🏿 this is amazing I think this gotta be the best paint job u ever posted on the page this is not easy task to do keep em coming man I appreciate the finds💪🏿

[@AutotopiaLA]

[@dannylow4720]

Super sweet build . Just makes you appreciate all the talent and skill that went into this creative ride . Paint job alone is over the top . 👍😎

[@jonelliott9627]

GEEZZZZ... this doesn't seem real. Straight out of a video game or something. Just unbelievable details and overall vision. As a kid in basic training, I saw a 69 chevelle and just made me say wow. But this is on another level. Thank you for creating this beast for real. Outstanding sir.

[@mefadon459]

I would drive to his shop just to get my paint done by him. Phenomenal

[@sanfranciscobay]

It's an orange/red color (with pearlescent) top fading to black at the bottom. Interesting paint job. When you've been working with painting cars for 20-40 years, you get real good at what you do.
