Sarah your jokes aren't stupid I love your jokes that's one reason I watch your videos

[@kevinwright4088]

Stand up comedians jokes are kind of bad and we think normal people can joke like a professional joker but the jokers are on a special stage. Civilian jokes at work are friendly and friendly feel off in a way.

Time consuming? Long project. Nah, there's always project Binky, my daughter could hardly walk when they started, now I'm contemplating teaching her how to drive over the Xmas holidays. And Binky still isn't finished. 😂

I'm retired and spend a LOT of time watching a LOT of you-tube. Among TONS of other details at which yours are the best, you have BY FAR the best, most suitable, most clever selection of background music at every turn of focus. I truly don't know where you get the energy to be so stellar-level at so many things.

I use to brush on petroleum jelly and then paint and wipe off jelly , turns out perfect

[@RolandoMarreroPR]

This is the way! I did something similar but used car grease instead. Worked great!

[@ramblerdave1339]

I just spray the part that needs paint, then wipe off the overspray with acetone.

Your workshop gets untidy because you spend all the time making top notch content and not cutting corners, something got to give and sometimes the shop gets messy, plus you've only just moved in.❤

[@agunther08]

I’m so happy to see Sarah at 700,000 plus subscribers- this lady deserves far more fame and fortune. ❤ hard working to the extreme.

[@lwsgrvbro]

Here’s a tip from a scale modeler as far a s masking the side trim goes. Lay your tape on the area you want to mask, work the tape into the lip with q-tips and wood skewers or toothpicks. You then use a sharp x-acto knife to cut tape along the edge. It’s time consuming but probably not three hours worth.

[@danawolfe7380]

😂 LOL @ 10:40, Sarah "...seal", penguin "where?" ❤

[@scottjrichter]

Finally a workbench to work off of and not the floor.

[@skullcowboy9609]

One of the reasons I love your build videos. You show us all the 'boring' but real stuff that goes into a build like this.

[@Gairbear-builds]

In the rc world, we have a product called liquid mask. Just take a little detail, paint brush, and "paint" where you don't want paint 😉. Maybe for future projects? We use it to do those fancy hot rod paint jobs on rc cars.

[@jerryrathman5717]

I was just going to suggest that!👆

[@albr6770]

I remember seeing vasoline being used somewhere long ago.

[@ellaevansbolt]

I use liquid Plasticoat with a small brush.

[@katywalker8322]

Model painters have it as well. Humbrol Maskol , Vallejo Liquid Mask, etc.

[@Garbox80]

I think I've seen someone making some "diy graphics" with soap (masking some "artsy" lines on something before painting). Just don't have any recollection of what kind of paint it was.... most likely water based I guess.

[@4speed3pedals]

Blue fine line masking tape is available from many sources in different widths. 3M to China, it is readily available. Custom painters use it to make curves and outlines, even pin stripes. Even Amazon sells varieties of it. I would never paint the inside of an oil pan for fear of dried paint coming off and getting into the works. Totally unnecessary. This is a very cool project and I admire your wiring skills.

[@JW-rg6rg]

Nailed it....i forgot about that "fine line"

[@nikolasadair]

This is one of the best restoration series I've ever seen - the attention to detail you exhibit is unbelievable. You're clearly a first-rate engineer, but also concerned with the aesthetics of the original vehicle design, which is a rare combination! One question - have you ever thought about building a vehicle completely from scratch? That would be amazing to watch!

[@larrydavidson3402]

The work you have did on the Celica is second to none.

No idea what tune you were whistling, but I did catch the quick Jurassic Park amber bit. Fabulous work on those trim pieces… appreciate you including the details nobody else shows in their videos. Penguin seems happy in the new digs. 😉 Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍

[@alanmclenon9703]

I don't think most people realize how time consuming car restorations can be, it is exactly why it's so expensive if you're paying someone to do it, especially all those little things like that trim restoration. I have a 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II and had to repaint all the side trim, headlight bezels, trunk finish panel, etc... Thing is it wasn't just black paint, it was also textured silver with satin black, it took forever.

[@clarkclifford2338]

It gets much worse if you pay people to do the work.

[@ctruthtoday]

You could apply Vaseline to the areas you don't want paint to stick.

[@aramw123]

I use axle grease and a modeling paint brush.

I've been following you for so long now Sarah, that I've had a career and retired, then started my second career in my retirement. I'm now a makeup apprentice, learning and studying out of a studio in Thunder Bay! This is entirely off topic, but I wanted to say that your makeup in every video is spectacular. I only began to notice the subtlety of such applications as I began learning more and more about Theatre application and full glam for weddings. Here's wishing you all the best over the holiday season! Cheers from Canada!

[@MONSTERDOG392]

Quality takes time - love to see the attention to the details

[@bsrbck]

A tip from the scale model making world: Liquid masking. The model makers use a liquid mask for canopies. Plus they use a masking putty when doing intricate camourflage etc. Both couldve been used on those parts, whatever they were to mask off the chrome Paint when dry, simply peel away the mask like masking tape. But, youve done it now, but you'll know for next time. Cracking mota.

[@fredericdeblois]

Great, you've got the new Corvette to try out, that'll take your mind off things, and for Cookie Angel's hair, there might be a solution if he's a passenger in the Corvette and sticks his head out, if you accelerate to full throttle with 800 hp it might pull out the hair or the red dye 😄

I think it's important that you show the details. I have a bow tie class 98 Z28 with just over 15,000 miles on it. It lives in a climate controlled,carpeted and very clean garage within my home. It logged 88 miles this year.. I had it out to a car show this fall and spent 3 hours on just detailing the engine bay that every friend I have said was factory clean already. It's just part of the deal.

At 1:56.. spray the whole thing black and then when it first dries.. take a quality non fuzzy paper towel, wet it with the appropriate paint solvent and wipe away the paint from the top of the fins.. I used to do that with my Mickey Thompson valve covers..

[@lordIanHouston]

Sarah stop masking up chrome items to spray the surrounds !! Just put a gentle layer of vaseline gel over the chrome, spray & just wipe off. It is that simple 🙂

I absolutely love this project and every solution you manage to come up with. That car will look amazing and will be so well-engineered, it's ridiculous

[@jaturnley]

Sarah, you need to look into model plane/car/ship supplies for masking smaller areas. They make skinny masking tape to get precise lines across curved surfaces. You apply it at the edges, then use regular masking to cover the rest, so you don't have to struggle with 3-inch wide strips in tight areas.

[@terencehawkes3933]

Sarah, I have something you could try for those panels. Paint the chrome bits on those panels with a tiny brush and Plasti-Dip. Spray the background grey then peel off the Plasti-Dip, PS. I totally agree with your hypothesis that a clean workshop inspires better work. That is a lesson I had to learn the hard way.

[@ShadonHKW]

Sarah, if you wipe vaseline on the surfaces you want unpainted, it works like a liquid mask. You have to be careful with application, but clean up is pretty fast.

[@BarbWaltersMusic]

[@waynesworldofsci-tech]

You really used your head today Sarah! 😂 Beautiful work. Absolutely beautiful. I love what you’ve done on this rebuild.

[@OllamhDrab]

Well, one smart idea for painting around those kinds of chrome (or fake chrome-) on black grill type pieces is, you can paint the whole piece and wipe the wet paint right off the shiny parts before it even sets up, the smoothness makes that easy and the black will want to hang onto the rougher places you want it anyway. Might take a bunch of makeup sponges to get really picky about the edges, but if you do one piece at a time, works nice especially when it's that plastic fake-chrome you probably wouldn't want to sandpaper on.

[@permaculture3]

Amazing detail working. Thank you for showing all of the work required🎉

[@jebidiahcarlyon3543]

Fast solution for masking something like the ribs on that trim: White Elmer's school glue. You can just wash it off and parts can be dipped in them, the lines won't necessarily be super straight though.

[@JesseHires]

I've found that instead of using painters tape for fine work, I use the vinyle pinstriping tape you can find in the chrome/plastic decoration section of the local autoparts store. It sticks well, is easy to work with, can peel and restick and shapes really well.

[@mikemoran8757]

This might be a thing, I have put a thin coating of vaseline on the surface to not be painted. Then just wiped it clean after paint has drive. Love your channel!

[@DamianSheesh]

You can use a liquid mask. It's basically liquid latex that dries solid and peels off. You can paint it on carefully, let it dry and use an x-acto knife if you need to clean up the edges. Paint over, remove the mask when the paint is just dry.

[@Tuishimi]

You have a lot of stamina. My arms, neck, back, and every other part of my body would be in pain after the first hour.

[@jansehnal177]

I have an idea to try for next time how to cover the chrome areas at 4:50 before painting instead of sanding after painting the part. I've never tried it. 1) Prepare the part for painting. 2) Cover the chrome parts of the part with a coat of very thick petroleum jelly. 3) Paint the part. 4) Wipe with gasoline the next day.
