Post by jason »

As a warning, this is a very good video and you better get a cup of coffee before you start watching it!

Get a cup of coffee? How about a roll of Toilet Paper... I f**king shit my pants watching all that
work that these guys did... Inspirational?

1. They deserve the name "too intense restoration"
2. No negative attitude recorded
3. If anyone has done any video editing these guys probably spent just as many hours editing the video!

First class man! Jason thanks for posting...

No problem Leonard, I really want to see the finished product, these guys look good. Looked like they enjoyed the process too! Somehow I imagine Byron looks about the same while working.

The rapid-fire body hammering peppered through all the various movies is a nice funny little touch. I agree that whoever put the video together deserves credit as well - it's a really well done series of shorts.

The work on the car is, well, ...holy crap that's a lot of work they are doing!

Holly man, that brings back over a year and a half’s worth of memories. I see that this guy and I have a lot in common.
Mostly, we're both totally insane.... and car enthusiasts!
I think of the uncountable hours that I put into my restoration, and my car didn't have near that much rust! But our procedures were similar, mostly just spending a stupid amount of time on each little detail. Take, for instance, the shot where he replaces the back corner of the rear quarter, below the bumper. It got about 6 seconds of video footage, but in reality that little patch probably took four to six hours to complete, and then there’s body work!. To those who've never been here, this isn't for the faint of heart! To those who have, man you know what I'm talking about. And finally, to those who are thinking of going here, the only thing you really need is patience - everything, and I truly mean everything, else can be learned and this is the most rewarding part. I would guess that I have between 600 to 700 hours into my restoration, and probably about $10 000 in materials alone.

A cautionary tale for anyone buying a 30 year old "rust free" car, sight unseen.
