[@MrJruiz121]

How much do you charge to customize a car?

[@vincentmannelli2258]

Bad ass!!!!!!

[@Gappasaurus]

_Slam Shifters_ were totally awesome, and second only to _Burnin’ Key Cars_ (and **possibly** the legendary _Darda Demons)_ for flat-out speed down a linoleum hallway 😎

[@TheRealGraylocke]

The accidental sparkles make for a nice effect!

[@thebaconbrotato]

Smokey and the Bandit was my childhood. Car is beautiful.

[@MrMajorly]

Hands of a freaking surgeon, sir. I'd never be able to do that! Looks freaking fantastic!!

[@isakkronlund4755]

He is a handy man🙌👐

[@danieldevite668]

The Bandit would be proud of you! Dynamite!

[@nicoleoakeson4159]

I looooove Smokey and the Bandit and this car turned out to be one of my favorites!

[@BIGWojo68]

I love when he Glig Glig Gilg Glig Gligs in his videos! Always makes me smile.

[@lagbait3076]

I think you reached a whole new level with the vinyl strips. I kind of liked the accidental gold flakes. I think you can actually see it better when it was at the booth, the white covering the mirror may have reflected to much light to where the image still looked dark on the stand. Looks Slamming!

[@matthewsummers1697]

It's amazing and yes, the gold sparkles is a happy little accident.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Absolutely magnificent restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@robgaskins6505]

Freaking AWESOME! Burt would love that sitting on his liquor cabinet! Great job, that glossy beast is drop dead gorgeous

[@JorgeLDiaz]

Trans Am! One of my favorite cars. Came out beautiful and the gold flakes was an incredible mistake.

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

That accident with the gold sparkles makes it look great . Very KOOOOOOLLLLLL . Great work as always .

[@Leader460]

The bandit would be proud ❤✌

[@solitairesmith3553]

I don't know how I missed this video. BEAUTIFUL JOB!! It actually looks soo real!!

[@boukevanderveen1323]

i love the gold sparkles in the paint it makes it more shiny

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

Breathtaking brings back so many memories from when I saw that car at the drive-in movie theater.

[@jameslohr4943]

I was born in ‘75. Totally remember playing with my friend’s slam shifter cars, crashing them into all kinds of stuff and launching them from home made ramps. Sweet resto!

[@RiverasHotWheels]

Spray gunner. Get yourself an air brush just for clear coat. That’s what I have and no more worries about having metal flakes in the cup before clear 💪🏼 Love the glossy finish🔥

[@bigsid3011]

Artists don't have mistakes - they create unanticipated beauty. I remember vaguely the few guys that drove these Birds in college but remember clearly the girls that rode with them. They usually had very ornate bumpers. Smokin! miep miep

[@automotiverenderings]

"Heeelllll yuhhhh" - so funny when you get into something. Great video and great casting!

[@mitchellambrose2293]

Dang!! That turned out awesome! Keep'm coming! 👍

[@SaberWulfGold]

This Firebird came out great! All the labor you put into it must be at least a $30.00 hot wheel/matchbox. The love you put into these little cars is amazing

[@pioneeradx]

The gold stripes set it off and the flaking in the paint is a fortunate accident in my opinion. Thank you for the content !

[@neilcummings9939]

definitely a master with the stripes. turned out wicked

[@johnfaulk7775]

I would’ve painted the wheels gold as well. Fantastic achievement!!!

[@CaraesNaur]

Painted vinyl strips is a neat trick. Imagine the outrageous paint jobs you could do with candy pinstripes.

[@jimbrown5055]

That's one gorgeous 🐦! Those accidental gold sparkles just add the 🍒 on top... painted vinyl strips genius

[@NotAGarage]

Finally a Trans Am!!! ❣👍💪🙏👌

[@BulletNoseBetty]

100% awesome! When you mentioned how hard it is to paint thin stripes using only tape, it reminded me of the time I built the Blue Thunder helicopter. The instructions called for the thin red lines separating the panes of glass on the cockpit to be done with DECALS. I wasn't comfortable with that, so I taped and painted. It took DAYS, but the end result was worth it.

[@hugochristiankuttelpalomo4778]

I cannot explain how much i love this restoration love TRANSAM but those gold vinils those golsy finish, the eagle, the accidental gold sparkles.... love the result, great job

[@phailynrowan7976]

I had a friend in college that had just bought this model and I have to say that your paint job looks much better than the real thing ever did!

[@alexallen6445]

One of my favorites great job!!!!!!

[@FullMoonStudio]

That thing looks so cool with the Gold Flakes in the paint job 😀

[@joshualong4930]

The painted vinyl is a game changer! If only they made 1/64th gold snowflake wheels!

[@clintgoodwill4545]

the car looks slamtastic.

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

I was 6 in 1982. I remember these. I probably even had one or two.

[@bent540]

Burt would be proud!

[@boerharms2209]

wow! Those pinstripes!! Its perfect

[@johnsterling7420]

Great job from the Master Again.👍🏻👌🏻🇺🇸😇

[@giovannisanseverino3549]

OUTSTANDING WORK

[@DerthDeboblo]

That came out spectacular! Honestly, the left over gold metalflake in the gun makes it pop!

[@dave499]

Austin that thing is legit! I like the accidental gold flake look in the black. Nice work!

[@francispalmer9737]

That Trans Am is smoking, what a beauty. I remember these being advertised I was 18 at the time but still loved toy cars and still do. You never get old!! say's me now being 58 lol.

[@mmotorhead]

same here... lol..

[@davidmahoherrezuelo]

GREAT restoration! Salutes from Spain!

[@travelersdiecastcustoms1511]

Paint turned out awesome. I like the little bits of Gold sparkle throughout. Gold leafing looks hard to do but it looks like it’s worth it!👍👍

[@nikonordman7624]

The accidental flake actually looks quite cool

[@leee2818]

Another beautiful job

[@bjscustoms]

Awesome slam shifter it turned out amazing

[@kentmcanally8494]

Looks great even with the sparkles!

[@MarathonGsar]

[@jameshunt9130]

Excellent work on the decals an your way of doing multiple layers for desired affect!!

[@nobodyreallyknows]

Love it!!! Thanks!!! great project!

[@b08m4rt1n]

The gold flake in the black looks good. Now you need a Kenworth W900. East bound and down.

[@johnkaiser8410]

Beautiful car! Very well done!

[@teee4532]

That is one sick paint job! Looks incredible and I love how you restore the oddball diecast!!

Awesome job, beautiful!

[@Chris7six]

My favorite so far.... bad ass

[@fatboyshadetree5139]

I think the little bit of sparkle from the oopsie actually makes it look great. I know the Bandit TA was jet black but yours looks amazing!

[@furyofgungnir]

I was gifted an airbrush and compressor for my birthday, and guess where I immediately came to relive some older videos. I've not used it yet. Making a list of the rest of the items I need to pick up especially a mobile or DIY paint booth. Figured I would practice a lot before trying out red line shop Spectraflame paints.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Tremendous work. That's a great glossy finish over the gold highlights. Greetings from Switzerland, via Kingston, ON. 🍁🇨🇦🇨🇭👍

[@darkstar910]

0:48 "that had a Hungry Hippo kinda thing" I died when I heard this 🤣🤣🤣🤣 keep up the awesome work, bruh!!!!

[@muzikman40]

nice job austin looks amazing...

[@drewkey1661]

Remember coverting one of these firebirds IRL many moons ago With that exact paint job that a neighbour had (They were very rare in the UK), but reality was never as nice as that paint job you did... awesome dude.

[@bobbailey5072]

Man that is SWEET!

[@pflick13]

The gold sparkles are not a mistake but a happy accident! Great resto my friend!!!

[@tork62077]
