She is looking great Ivan! A tip I learned when I was at Walt Disney Imagineering.. I was down at Disneyland working with a German Master Scenic Ager and Grainer who was the head of the department. He never aged with pure black or gray.. Most of his aging washes had a black that was not pure black paint, he would do a mix of the the Primary colors and get something that was “close” to a black but much richer with a better depth. He also used a lot of earth tone paints in his mixes, paints like Raw Umber, Raw Sienna, Yellow Ochre to richen the mix and give a hit of the elements like dust and dirt. You would walk into his office and swear the concrete floor was real stone from a Castle.. he had a metal cabinet against the back wall that you had to tap on to realize that it was actually steel, you would swear it was ornate carved Rosewood from the 1300’s .. The guy’s talent was amazing!
Once again, a most enjoyable video on a splendid motor. Your sympathetic approach to restoration is exemplary, it's easy to over restore, very much harder to hit that balance between restoration and preservation. I'd also like to add my sincere thanks, for the great inspiration to move into the world of vintage car restoration- having just completed my first pre war car project and successfully taken it up the road- I have not looked back. Thank you!
Ivan I could listen to you talking on any motoring subject till the cows come home sir! You are a National Treasure and a motoring hooligan to boot, and we all love you!
Another great Video thanks Ivan. Your new lady videographer is a keeper! So glad we have you educating us on cars from a era gone. Cheers from New Zealand.
Nice to see a great resto with some new parts made to look Original, As a really shiny vehicle of this age would not look period correct. Once again Ivan a great video keep it up.👍👍👌👌👍👍
As a pattern maker by trade and a decent scenic painter as well I can appreciate the direction Ivan is going with his restoration builds. Absolutely enjoy listening to Ivan talk about his experiences, acquaintances and watching him apply his skills, be-it from mechanical to crafts and of course his stellar driving too. Thank you very much👏it’s always a treat catching a video.
Ivan another great installment on your Salmsons. The audio using a distant microphone creates an echo in the shop and is a bit difficult to hear what your saying. Perhaps a wireless clip on mike would be helpful in the future. I’ve recently restored my Dads 1951 MG TD/c that he special ordered from Abingdon in 1951 for competition use. MG was still using rexine and leather (on the wear surfaces) at that time. I have contemplated using bookbinding material with a similar weave of the original as a substitute for the rexine/ oil clothe for the dash. The car currently has an aftermarket engine turned vernier added to the dash. I like the look but it is quite dazzling to the eyes when driving thus necessitating the hood be in use during the daytime. So, I will be making up a rexine/bookbinding covered dash to replace it at a later date. I may also choose to use the same materials to make up another set of trim panels for the tub. I personally don’t like the texture of the vinyls and it would look more correct. You might look into this as an alternative to vinyls
Love it! Great way of ageing the paint. There is a guy in the US called Rat Rod Bob on YT who does something similar with a black base coat and silver paint ragged on looking like aged bare steel, recently he did a pick up with red and black paint too.
As always you are worth the wait and worth your weight. Tania is getting better at this too, which is allowing you to relax with the content, first class now Ivan and crew.
Really pleased that you are keeping the original look with new parts. I love the paint antique procedure! How may attempts and methods did it take to perfect? Great to see how you do things Ivan, thanks for posting the videos up.
Hi Ivan ,like the video very much ,it made a lot of sense,I’m in the process of restoring a 60s triumph 650 t bird and trying to reclaim and use as much of the original parts as I could ,but I’d resolved myself to the fact of a new paint job on the tank ,but having watched you video It’s a case of spot blasting and building up the paint ,and hopefully I will manage to keep 95 % of the original finish . Keep up the good work
Fanbloodytastic Ivan when we painted our minis in 2pack we would rub them down with vim and a nylon abrasive sink pad before polishing a lot of elbow grease but original looking finish stay safe 👍👨🏻🏭
I'm building a new vintage car (special/replica) and most definitely don't want it looking new. Especially as I want to use the car and don't want to have to worry about it getting dinged and dirty. One trick I learned is with a string wrapped steering wheel any times your hands are dirty and covered in oil wipe them on the wheel. Doesn't take long for that to look nice and used. A new looking, vintage car isn't right. Paint I definitely didn't want shiny so I like your trick you showed but what is Duff(?) oil? Some sort of penetrating oil?
Another great episode. See if you can find a lapel microphone that might take some of the echo out of the recordings. You have a great voice and it's wonderful to listen to it
For us Yanks, what is duck oil? Is it known by another name? BTW, this is the most interesting project car on TH-cam. I've got a minor obsession with early French sport cyclecars.
Thank you for sharing your secrets Ivan. I have the same question that ascimation have already asked : can someone tell us what is this «duff » spray, I would like to buy some. Merci !
I'm glad that your making some attempt to age the paintwork but I'm afraid that your not making a very convincing job of it. An approximately 100 year old car wouldn't have all its paintwork in just one shade of colour especially a red one, it would have areas of different colour where it had been repaired over the years and faded in the sunshine. My Austin 7 of a similar age must have about a dozen different shades of blue on it.
Why don't you make yourself a wig from horse hair ?.. I think it would take years of you and you might get your nat king cole on the beach at saint Tropez 🍾🥂😘🏴
Fantastic I’m so into patina over, newly restored.... but after watching the video 3 times is it duck oil you use on the under seal haahaaa wtf is duck oil haaahaaaa

Wounderful ❤️👍
Exactly my philosophy with the old bikes Ivan. They wear their age like a crown.
Best wishes, Dean at Retromeccanica, Oxfordshire.

Thanks for giving us your secrets, Ivan.
That is the same philosophy I used when I built my Model T speedster from bits. I figure if you did it, I must be on the right track!

Super Video!! Really ingeniously done! Really enjoyed it. Keep making new videos.
You're a wise man Ivan, the depth of your experience and insight into antique cars knows no bounds. Always look forward to your videos.

Thank you Ivan your antique skills are unsurpassed - Regards
I for one would love to see a series of videos on Ivan driving the Salmson to France! Fascinating car and antiquing techniques!

Brilliant i love your stories - I like using duck oil too it has more oil in it than solvent unlike a more famous brand - stay safe
That's a proper job Ivan.

Try and use kiwi black boot polish the liquid type with the foam tip

Thanks mate.💛💙
Ooh "Ivan the car looks just like old" good stuff
Absolutely love the philosophy. Couldn't agree more.
It's coming along nicely with your attention to detail it will be great.
Thanks for the tips..
Great approach to restoration.
look forward to seeing progress👍
Lovely work. The waiting was worthwhile. Cheers.
Stop Press!!!! Ivan gives away trade secrets. 😄
Great that you are matching the patina, have you thought about getting an old brown leather sofa to make the seats with?
I have wondering what you did with the Salmson, very good to see what you are up too...
excellent vid, more, more, more, pls, ty
With the greatest respect Ivan I think your mug could do with a touch of restoration..
Bloody brilliantly done. How much do you want for it. Name your price
Good nick, I rather like your style..
Thank you for sharing your secrets Ivan. I have the same question that ascimation have already asked : can someone tell us what is this «duff » spray, I would like to buy some.
Merci !
It's a duck oil, Christian
underbody seal aerosol
@@shed_racing thank you very much Ivan
Question ...Would you use Tiger seal on a water pump say ?
Proper !!!
What is in the aerosol can that you spray on the car and what is duck oil please
underbody seal aerosol
Have you give up on the 2 stroke mini engine??
Faking patina.....a black art indeed
Can I go to the south of France with you?
what's the # on your mgb you race?
Concords and elephants.

He's been doing it for years, he knows what he's doing. Maybe you should mind your own car not his.
Why don't you make yourself a wig from horse hair ?.. I think it would take years of you and you might get your nat king cole on the beach at saint Tropez 🍾🥂😘🏴
Fantastic I’m so into patina over, newly restored.... but after watching the video 3 times is it duck oil you use on the under seal haahaaa wtf is duck oil haaahaaaa
It's a commercial product. Look it up.
