I’m actually surprised that you don’t have folks waiting in a line line for you to do their cars. how do you charge for your “training“ vehicles?

Thanks, means a lot coming from you. A far cry from what I would like but it will make a nice driver.

This is far from a professional quality job but it’s turned out to be a fair looking driver and about as good as I could have expected for my first paint job. Starting to look like a truck again and I see some light at the end of the tunnel… My son came up and helped me get the hood mounted and...

Thanks much for the response and links. that’s one nice Ferrari… :)

Awesome video and information once again. I don’t like sitting around watching long videos… prefer to read when I can. However, I always enjoy watching your videos and have no problem making it through without fast-forwarding and jumping around. ;)(y) One question or topic I was hoping you...

Another excellent instructional video. I’ve got to do that to the side plexiglass wind wings on my roadster one of these days. I’ve also got to purchase one of those swirl finder lights. Just yesterday I was knocking out the cut & buff on the doors of my project and complaining to a friend...

That makes sense... about the only thing that does. Guess it took a different product to get it off. thank you.

I'll preface this with saying it’s my first time trying my hand at any paint correction on an old paint job. My first time ever handling a rotary and RO buffer was last month when I began the cut & buff of the paint I had sprayed on my old F100. I had a lot of what I would consider serious...

Awesome instructional session! (y) BTW, my question regarding you not cross hatching with the Rotary and wool pad was not intended as a “call out” or criticism. I’m so new to this I was wondering if my cross-hatching technique was incorrect or possibly even causing some of my problems. Watching...

Looks great. I think I’ve got the courage up to go after my 02 Z06 pretty soon . It’s definitely showing its age after many years as my daily driver. :)

Wow! That peel looks far worse than what I’ve been dealing with on my first spray job. I’ve got the session on my calendar and will make a point to be back from fishing by then…

Great video. I also (I think) learned a little something more about the detailing world when you mentioned Mckee… I had actually made a purchase from Mckees37 a while back and had never heard of the company until I had been doing some shopping searches and price comparing. Sounds like the guy...

I wish I had run across he and his classes soon enough to have benefited from them with this current project. Even though it’s too late for this near completed restoration, I hope to find a way to get into one of his future classes before I get to final stages of my next car. Will be money...

Now that I have some rookie experience with the rotary I’m no longer afraid of it.. actually haven’t had any problems burning through with it... My problems have been being careless and too aggressive with my abrasive paper steps. I stupidly thought the extra layers I have sprayed along that...

Sound like awesome classes. Definitely could have used the experience prior to this stage of my project. I eventually did what I feared would happen and burned through on the sharpest most prominent spot on the front of the hood. The most likely area on the whole truck for it to happen, and...

It’s definitely a period color. Same Caribbean blue on the interior. Wil, probably stick with the same color even though I love the look of the Cougar in a dark, deep blue. Funny, the orig ford color name for my F100 is Bahama Blue.

That has to be nerve-wracking even much more than usual when dealing with someone else’s car. Especially when you are dealing with other newbies who are doing the work… I had been wondering how that works. When looking at the beautiful cars in your videos and photos, I couldn’t imagine how you...

Nice 67! (y) Here is mine 20+ years ago before I had developed a rust problem under the vinyl top… I will not be going back to vinyl when I do this restoration. I prefer the look without. I’ve got the rusty patches cut out and have already welded-in the patches and have it looking good. At...

Very helpful and informative explanation. I had actually been wondering the past couple days if I had been breaking down my panels in the appropriate sizes/sections. Appears from your examples I’ve been using the correct approach. So far I’ve done the cab roof and hood. Ironic that your...

Well, can’t get a good pic inside with my poor lighting but after going over it with the foam pad, I can live with the results. My assumption at this stage is that the original wool pad was contaminated when I used the cleaning spur… Fix was using a new foamed wool pad that I had, and hitting...
