Painting My 1965 Ford Falcon for the FIRST TIME!!

[@geoffjackson7894]

Such a privilege to be invited in to the journey! Love the paintwork and love that you got to put those coats on yourself. People like Mr Ed are so valuable to your generation.

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you so much!

[@rockinvida1960]

Great color choice! It’s going to be awesome...👌

[@zooba1974]

No doubt!

[@clifc6351]

Cool Neptune Green! Like a creamier Bianchi Bicycle green. Truly a fine choice in memory of your Grandfather. Carl looks stunning in his new coat! What a fine job and what an experience for you. Congratulations on a Job Well Done. Ill bet you dont regret how much detail you put into the preparation of Carl. Every extra minute you put into him showed up in his finish. Happy for You.

[@Paulie1232]

Young lady, you're a natural painter you did a spectacular job. The color is fabulous, with all the cars on the roads that are either white, black or grey, your car will stand out in the crowd. I sure and hope that you'll be going to car shows to show him off to the world...

[@ElliesGarage]

I can't wait! Thank you for all of your encouragement!!

[@Tech-ez1qj]

Mr Ed is a beast! He never left the booth the entire time he paintedthe clear. The paint looks amazing! Loved the video!

[@ElliesGarage]

Yes, Mr. Ed is the best!!

[@spraybombchronicles]

Love it!!! Thanks Mr Ed for your time and patience.

[@Tech-ez1qj]

I've been painting cars for 35 years. I watched you spray the paint for your first time. Your a natural. You looked like you had done this many times before.

[@ElliesGarage]

Dad/Matt in the comments today--WOW, that's a BIG compliment for Ellie!! Thanks so much for encouraging her!!

[@kbsingleton]

God Bless these people like "Mr. Ed" who donate their time and knowledge to this younger generation that want to learn these skills. Great job, Ellie! Carl is looking awesome!

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you so much!! Yes, Mr. Ed is the best!!!

[@gmans7859]

Carl Looking Sharp! Cars and Kindness. Thank You Mr. Ed.

[@dwightparker2300]

So excited for you Ellie! What a great, unique color.

[@peterscott7384]

Ellie, I gotta admit I shed many a tear in this episode. That colour is amazing but more so the memories it will bring each time you drive it. Ya’all sure got some mighty friendly people helping out with the build. Well done.

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you so much and you're exactly right about all of the people helping. And thank YOU too for all of the encouraging words...those help too!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Super excited to see Carl complete again! Great job!

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you!! Can't wait to show him back together next week!! Thank you again for encouraging me!!!

[@kevinbrown1368]

I'm glad you picked a color that you love and has a meaning to you. Way to go! and people like Mr Ed make all the difference.

[@peterplouf2836]

Always amazed at how much work it is to spray the car. To anyone following along, the sugestion to practice spraying with the gun full of cleaner is a very good one. It also allows you to practice the spray-path that you are going to use to reach all of the car in a given order.

[@ElliesGarage]

Yes!! I really appreciated Mr. Ed doing that. It gave me a chance to practice a little so I was at leas t a little less nervous when it was time to spray.

[@emilmaki3001]

What an exciting day!

[@draklord18283]

Always loved 50s era colors.

[@ElliesGarage]

Yes!! Me too!!

[@tonyhayes5048]

I am a Barber, love antique barber chairs and that is definitely my favorite color chair. Looks great on Carl....cannot wait to see it fully assembled again. Good job!

[@ElliesGarage]

yes! I always loved that chair and I love thinking about him when I look at Carl, now too. Thank you!!

[@carlyoquinn5384]

Excellent job! I love how you dive into trying new things. That color is perfection on Carl💚

[@nateb8245]

Great choice!

[@rickredden4119]

Right on Ellie..at first when I seen the color I went whoa..but when you were done I went wow! Great job.

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you! It does make me proud that I can say that I painted a good amount of my car myself (with a good amount of help from Mr. Ed!)

[@paintucation]

Too Coool!!!! I love those vintage looking colors too. ( nice tribute to your Grandfather. :) ) Keep up the good work! I think you've figured out that the fun part is the journey, not the destination... thanks for taking us on your journey!

Great job kiddo. You're learning stuff that all kids should know. Kudos to your father as well, good job.

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you for coming along on the journey, sir!

[@StoneyBrownTV]

You picked an amazing color with an even greater meaning behind it. I noticed you seem to like blues and greens so I told my wife I was guessing you'd choose a blend of the two. Beautiful work! It's been a long time coming and you're doing great work. Congratulations.

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the encouragement!!!

You’ll feel better driving it and knowing that you and your Dad and Mr. Martin helped you! Exceedingly well done, you! Looking forward to all your next videos!

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you so much! It was a little scary at first, but with Mr. Ed there, it actually became pretty fun!

[@markallnutt786]

Fabulous colour and perfect for that beautiful classic car. Was a bit worried you might go for some crazy purple, pink or green but you nailed it. Like others here felt a bit of tear as you spoke of the reason for choosing the colour. Your parents must be very proud of what you've achieved and thanks for sharing this amazing journey.

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you for the kind words and for encouraging me!!!

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

Man that's a cool color. It looks stock but at the same time custom. Not one that you see a lot of .Very cool. I remember my first paint job I did back in the mid70's. It was little bit of a fail, but a good friend who was self taught like Mr. Ed he some how managed to save it for me.

[@ElliesGarage]

I feel the same way!! For me it's the perfect mix of a 60s car with a 50s color. I'm loving it!!

[@danielgallegos8869]

That came out nicely 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 great color !!

[@ElliesGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@geoffreymills9932]

That's so cool that you got a chance to spray your own car, never seen it done like that before but it's a solid color so it should be fine, I'm sure you are going to truly enjoy driving around in something you and your dad have created and I hope you have many safe years of those memories

[@ElliesGarage]

I was really worried about it, but Mr. Ed was a good teacher and now I'm proud to say that I painted a good amount of my own car!!

[@tbiker99]

To be honest, I don't think I would have picked that color. But the story behind the color makes it the perfect color! So glad that I've stuck around for the last year or so to see it come to this point and can't wait to see it start going back together. You've done some great work and the ride along has been so much fun. Thank you.

[@ElliesGarage]

Thank you so much, and I REALLY appreciate the support even though it's not what you would have done. That's what I love about this community--even if it's not your taste, people are still excited that someone else is excited by what they chose or did with their car. It's really supportive and encouraging and I appreciate it so much!

[@TheCrocfiles]

I'm glad you got the chance to actually spray Carl. Isn't unmasking fun? Wait until you start installing the chrome, glass and emblems. It's going to make you smile all day. Just go slow with the assembly and use as much soft protection as you can with the goal of no scratches to the paint. And, I love the color. I'm glad you didn't repaint it black.

[@ElliesGarage]

I can't wait to start getting everything back on, but yeah, I'm scared about scratches. We'll just go slow. Thank you!!

[@spikel984]

Beautiful colour! Well done.

[@ElliesGarage]

Best father and daughter team out there

[@mrjata]

You did a fantastic job!! Now you know what a "wet edge" is and not the hard part is keeping it with the right overlap and not getting a run. Just wait. Now you get to sand the paint!! Yup, that is what I said. Sand the paint. OB1 can fill you in. you best do something really special for him. He is a prince helping you. We need more mentors like him.

[@ElliesGarage]

I know! and I thought I was done with sanding! 😩😂 I know Mr. Ed will take care of us, though.

[@mrjata]

@@ElliesGarage You might not have to or want to "color sand" but that is how you get the ultra slick paint jobs! Don't worry, you use really fine paper like 2000 and finer paper but it is so rewarding after buffing it out. (then you are afraid to drive it, might get a scratch)

[@stubby1122]

Nicely done.

[@michaelau5159]

That is an awesome colour and an awesome job. You did a great job with the spray gun and I liked to see how Mr Ed guided you (spray booths are very noisy places aren't they?) with hand gestures. Did your dad get to have a go at spraying? Watching you and Mr Ed helped me pick up a couple of tips that you only get when shown by someone with long term experience, Thank you to Mr Ed and thank you Ellie. I am really, I mean really, looking forward to the next bit where you have lots of individual panels to paint and then the assembly where you work out all the panel gaps without any guide marks. Excellent job.

[@ElliesGarage]

Yes, it was SO NOISY in there!! I did not expect that. Dad said he was too busy filming but said he loved watching me learn. Can't wait to share the next steps with you!!
