Reworking The Hurst Oldsmobile's Body Panels - MuscleCar S7, E3

[@phoenixblack1220]

You might say that chassis is a work of Art.

Great Video!!! Awesome body work, chassis and advice on doing this kind of auto work. You can't beat restoring a 60s muscle car, they are the best cars around ever. Keep up the great work. I have a suggestion for a project car. Build a "BASE" 70-72 Buick GS 455 to give younger viewers how many muscle car purchasers back in the late 60s & early 70s ordered their cars when new. Specifications: 70-72 Buick GS 455 (would also be more of an "economy" or "low budget" when new. Stock 455 engine or stage 1, HD shock absorbers, HD coil springs, HD front and rear sway bars, HD manual steering, manual brakes with front aluminum finned brake drums, GM HD 3-speed manual transmission, HD clutch, HD radiator, positraction (limited slip) differential with 3:08, 3:23 or 3:42 gear, bench seat, sport gauge instrument panel or not, maybe hood mounted tachometer, standard steering wheel, tires equivalent to G or H60-15s, steel wheels, Buick dog dish hubcaps. I may have left out a few mechanicals. Also, add in "Day 2" modifications: headers, 3" to 3 & 1/2" exhaust system with HiFlow mufflers, possibly replace HD radiator with aluminum radiator with electric fans. This will eliminate additional HP drain on the engine by only having the alternator running off the engine. Non-60s or 70s addition: Custom Auto Sounds AM-FM, Bluetooth factory appearing radio, NO power windows, NO power locks, NO A/C, NO power antenna, NO power bench seat. I think this would make a great project car for your team and I hope you decide to build it. Thank you for all the great videos, I really enjoy watching them.

You fellas are VERY good at body repair and Mechanicals :) Love watching you work :)

[@ramonrivera5467]

I really like the way you save those panels the powder coating it is a first I always thought it would be a good ideal to powder coat the floors headliner and whole interior with trunk after a sandblast or a dip stripping process use guys are getting better and better you guys are impressing me you're going on a whole different level can't wait to see when it is done and all the processes that it will take.

[@weekendgarage3299]

Cool frame. It would've been nice to have provisions for the factory drivetrain though.

[@anthonycadiou8367]

I would do a 455.

[@JohnW1711stock]

My brother bought a new 68 W-30, and I had a 70 W-30. The 455 was a beast.

[@bryantidwell]

I would have kept the original frame under that cutlass

[@kenstrain4366]

Why didnt they powdercoat the frame before attaching everything to it?

[@Axial_Andrew]

Love that bodystyle Olds...👍

[@CJColvin]

Same here brother, the 68 to 72 Oldsmobile Cutless 442s are by far the best looking of em all.

[@Axial_Andrew]

@@CJColvin I second that, just a good lookin' machine...

[@CJColvin]

@@Axial_Andrew It sure is brother

[@CJColvin]

That LS V8 Should've been a 455 cubic inch LS not a 454 Cubic inch LS, 454 LSX V8 are for Chevys while the 455 LSX V8s are for Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick.

Atleast it’s all gm

@@danielkruckenberg9882 True

[@joeelia6495]

Does vance have a cooking show? Diners drive inn’s and dives!!!

[@27sincity]

Love the 442 Vert..it's from Jersey!

[@jodypaul2695]

This will be a great build, but PLEASE keep and OLDS engine in it!

[@geoffreymills9932]

I'm glad to see Tommy is keeping it a real muscle car platform on the show, I don't know what those new guys are doing with this new garbage,

[@urbancommando6357]

I've got a 72 Supreme that I'd love to get the same work done on, that body came out looking amazing after blasting and powder coating. Could the car be left at that stage for a while or would it immediately need to get painted to prevent damage?

[@skeptic3332]

the car is powder coated so it won't rust if stored indoors forever actually

[@benische]

Could you imagine if a guy on KZbin only put out 16 minutes a week on a build? These shows were great back in the day, but I'm such a huge fan on the realism in mordern day KZbin builds. They seem much more authentic.

[@anthonycadiou8367]

Please state the cost.

[@merkcityboy834]

I’m in auto body we just did a 76 Bronco I wish I could send pics on here just something about those old cars I love working on them.

[@BertNErnie442]

Unfortunately this video is about fifteen years old. I think the build has been scrapped since then. They made about three episodes of this car and then it hasn't been touched in close to ten plus years. They are just replaying the old episode. I watched every episode every weekend until this mishap and haven't watched since. Sad they just haven't done anything since and I'm a diehard Olds fan as well. Too bad.

[@w46try7]

Will someone let that kid know that his earrings are about as complimentary to his look as a dunce cap sitting on his head.

[@ScarlettFire341]

GM / Olds Never EVER called it a 4 Forty 2 --- It's was and always will be a 4-4-2

[@dinsdaleseven1627]

Gunpowder and Gasoline? You forgot Pitbull and AR15. I had a 442 years ago but it didn't lower my IQ.

[@Bwilson-31]

This was out last year why wasn't it completed?

[@johndillinger8482]

that ragtop sold for 150k at mecum,now on bring a trailer

[@MoparMan-ff8fb]

so what was the point of primering it since they desided to cut grind and weld 🙄. should have sand blasted then did the body work then the primer

[@sherlockholmes60]

Because then your car isn't sitting in raw metal while you are doing to body work. This is pretty common.

[@paulthesoundguy1]

The time between body prep and the body work was a few months…….primed the car to protect the entire project….only worked on the panel seams…..no need to have the ENTIRE car in bare metal….and got a discount for doing the entire care body prep at one time. Any more questions😎😎😎😎

[@jasonmaes6021]

$1,800 is nothing for a restoration that’s north of 25k. Either the customer wants the job done right or not.

[@darinmcdonnell712]

You lost me when you butchered the car with a dime a dozen ls motor like everyone and their sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, next door neighbor, and the 37 other people the next street over. It is another trans car, call it the Rachel Levine of automobiles!

[@braddocksgarage]

keep in mind this episode is like 10+ years old. LS swaps were a big deal then. Now its just common like you aforementioned.

[@johnkeathley1612]

Jesus drove an Oldsmobile.... If you put a Chevy engine in it I'll never watch you guys again.

[@danf4616]

Yikes those guys were blowing that sand blast sand all around with no masks on. Silicosis is no joke. Wear a mask! I know this was filmed years ago, but still...

[@BigUnitBeef]

Could've had a bad ass 455.....ls-ted instead....🙄
