I’m 69 now and the only thing I can remember about my dad was he would take me to work with him every now and then and he was a plumber and we would go to the naval station and go fishing. My dad died of cancer when I was just 10 years old and so I love watching you and your pop working together and I daydream about my pop.

Travis, you had my attention THE ENTIRE video without a fast forward, and I am a busy guy. I absolutely love what you did here with this 1962. I have a 1962 Coupe Deville - purchased from Detroit just last October 2023. I can totally relate to the things you are doing here - although mine is like new by comparison. Thank you to you & your very cool dad for producing this. Regards Fletch - Classic Restos TV - Australia.

I understand some of what you take time to explain. Magic of you and your father together makes this priceless. The 62 Caddy is great, 59 with out floor boards and engine reaclaced is classic example of your team. Joe from Smyrna Delaware that appreciates the world you and your father have built.

At the beginning, you said twice that it’s a Cadillac coupe Deville. That is very clearly a sedan Deville. My grandfather had a 1962 black Cadillac sedan Deville right out of the showroom. I still remember the first time I saw him and my grandmother drive to my parents house in that brand new shiny Cadillac.

Go ahead and delete this if you think it's inappropriate, but your finding all the doo-dads working reminded me of a fellow who parked his Sedan Deville at a parking meter and took his change out of his pocket to find a quarter. He had just left the country club, and he also fished up a few golf tees. An old lady saw all this, and asked "Excuse me sir, but what are those wooden things?" He replied "That's what you put your balls on when you drive." The lady replied "My gosh, what will the Cadillac people think of next?""

Your comment about the EPA banning anything that works is so true. I experienced this last year when I tried using aircraft paint remover to strip layers of primer off my truck to get to the original paint underneath. Didn’t work at all. Turns out, the paint stripping chemical, methylene chloride, was banned by the EPA, so paint stripper doesn’t have paint stripper in it anymore.
