Nice work dude. Love the American Flag too!

[@boydlondon]

Had a 2005. Totaled it at 178,000 miles (not my fault). Damn the luck, now I have to buy a 2010. Finally found a manual transmission in Massachusetts. Flew up and drove it back to Dallas. Finally sold it with 208,000 miles. Still redlining. No drag racing. Those were excellent cars. I never modified anything. Never replaced anything on either, which includes the clutches, other than the rear shocks twice on the 2010. They had a bad habit of leaking. Had the 2010 to 170. It was a one way concrete bridge across the water so only the fishermen below the bridge were at risk. I looked to buy a Gen 3 but could not get past the automatic transmission. I do not trust GM and automatic transmissions. They also take all the fun out of driving. I now drive a manual Z06/Z07. Found this one in Kansas, not far from Dorothy. The new CT5 Blackwing V will be tempting.

[@Localtraveler2376]

You have put the cts-v at the top of my list of cars I will buy. That engine with a manual transmission is perfect.

[@DeeBee7O7]

My boy Kevin Love putting in that work in the offseason.

[@michaellavelle793]

Hey im new to your channel and i have to say i absolutely love that you do longer videos. We get so much progress in one vid!! Also, the time lapses are killer. Definitely one of my new favorite channels to watch. Keep up the great content!

[@SaSaUrmULi1]

Never looked at a CTS V like this I mean damn I heard the hype but until your video I’ve never got the “Wow” factor and this is a 1stgen 🧐🔥💯

[@chrisreynolds2410]

It’s a V

[@joedavies940]

Really wonderful job Chris

[@RippinGearz]

I love seeing this car be rescued and come back to life!

[@florianreinhart6438]

Man everything you do to that caddy just looks better and better

[@malloymotorsports780]

tip on the wheels. when the clear is failing like that, use aircraft stripper to chemically remove the failing clear coat, usually the aluminum underneath is pretty good. if not polish up the raw aluminum and re-clear with a good 2k clear... you'll save hrs in sanding. keep up the good work.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Good tip. Thanks man!

[@chrisreynolds2410]

Molloy I have a set of black V rims w failing clear etc. How long do I let the remover sit on there? Will that get me to bare rim? Can I use bondo on the rim or something else? Thanks for your input…I’m handy so I’m sure it’ll be perfect when I’m done but I’d be a fool not to ask tips from you if you know.

[@malloymotorsports780]

@@chrisreynolds2410 you let the remover sit for 15- 30 mins. wrapping the wheel in the black trash bag will help accelerate the stripping process, NOTE!! any paint under the clear will get removed as well. this process that I'm rereferring to works very well if it's a bare alumium wheel that has been clear coated. if you want remove everything, including the actual color, this method works great too.

[@gchavezsoto-yt3989]

A video that makes me stay the whole time 🫵👍

I’ll never miss one of his videos, always good content. 👌🏽

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Thanks man!

[@normanperry9807]

You’ve got the sweat equity in this car but it’s so cool! A bumpy cam Caddy is wild. I’m new to the Cadillac world. I scored an ‘06 STS4 with 31k miles back in June & loving it way more than my Mustang

[@DannyGodlewski]

Just found you’re channel and I’m glad I did! The cars you buy & clean up are exactly what I want to see. Keep up the good work man, you’re channel is gonna blow up in no time!

[@rossdilger7104]

Keep up the awesome work! Love the V-1 and can’t wait to see how it progresses. Keep it up, the channel will pick up traction fast.

[@nuthinbutlove]

Wow! I don't know you but I'm so proud of both your patience and work ethic!

[@90blkteg]

My 06’ Chrysler 300 SRT8 is the same color. Didn’t like it at first but it’s grown on me. Looks good in the sun after a wash.

[@71break]

Recently came across your channel bro when you first purchased the V keep up the good content! 💯 motivates me to fix some cosmetic work on my own car 👊🏼😎

[@RizeTwist388]

im so invested in this build watched all 3 videos one after another

[@Kymbothegoat]

Good Job Mann Your Doin Better Than Most Of Us Watching Could.

[@brandontscheschlog]

As a fellow owner of a CTS-V, check the clamp for the powersteering hoses by the rack. If the car was from the northern states the salt will have corroded under the clamp and compromised the hoses/lines. Sweet V! Nice work!

[@bobbyemerson46]

Don't know how I just now found you on you tube only a few days ago but I absolutely love all of your videos! I love how you don't just put out a string of short videos. You wait to get the whole video done mostly before you put it out. Keep up the great work I love it!!!

[@46miles]

Yes, coming along nicely! I think you should wear rubber gloves when using that acetone! It's powerful stuff! Like your videos! Thanx!

[@prafulbhatt3212]

Excellent job and u are a hard working man. Want to see more videos

[@DrNo-dz2hd]

Just discovered this channel yesterday and was binging through the CTS vids and I'm lucky enough to get this video the next day. Heck yea. Stoked for the next vid & can't wait to see this thing when it's finished.

[@benoitfarrah4054]

This guy is the best !!!! Nice work !

[@coreymitchell2756]

Liked what you've done with V. My uncle had an 07 V Grey Exterior with the Titanium Interior, then sold that one for an 08 STS-V., then eventually bought an 13 V Coupe Manuel. Keep those updates coming and drive that V like you stole it!!!

[@mauricesmith3821]

Incredible. Wish I had the level of knowledge, tools and time as you. Hopefully, one day I can get there. And thanks for taking us on this journey with the cheapest CTS V ✌🏾

Hey Chris. Nice channel. I am from NH too. I have a better way to remove pine sap from the paint! use Hand sani gel. Type with alcohol. pump some on the sap, give it a min and wipe off with a terry cloth. Its much cleaner and easier and cheaper!

Unreal work!! I really enjoy this content. Keep it up

I love watching your work and the progress! I have a huge side space at my house in California where I work and paint outside too. Bugs and things can be an issue. I use a folding canopy that can help a ton FYI. I've used DupliColor and Eastwood 2K clear 'rattle cans' to paint wheels and body panels and they can come out just like a paint gun.

Phenomenal work

[@brianwelteroth9248]

(2) tips on deep cleaning a V which I do as yearly maintenance to keep water out. (1) blow out the rain channels from the sunroof down the A-pillars, use a rubber hose on your air nozzle with a cup or so of water. (2) on the bottom of the door weatherstripping lightly fold it back and clean the weatherstripping & weatherstripping/door interface, there are drain holes there which will clog. I then use silicone spray to keep all the rubber and engine bay looking new.

[@RJ-lk5pj]

Great effort- silicone sprays collects first though

[@seagullr6]

Great work so far. Love the channel and the video quality is especially good considering the size of your channel. :)
